1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 2: I wont for this stuff. I never told your Protection 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: by Heart radio. 4 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: Well, because it's the end of the year and we 5 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: are approaching the holidays as well as the days here 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: in Georgia has been really dark and gloomy. Like dark 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: and gloomy, I have requested for the chance of lamenting 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: what could have been. I guess in the form of 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: a movie the making of history. I mean, like I 10 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: was so excited and we're talking about the movie The 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: Mummy three. And I will say when it came out, 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: originally I didn't know it existed, Like it took me 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: a long time to realize it was there was a 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: third one. And actually they don't go buy The Mummy three. Instead, 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: it's actually known as the Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: So if you need to search that, you have to 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: buy it because it's nowhere. It's not streaming anywhere. And 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Ani and I had two very different reactions when we 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: rewatched this, didn't we And we'll talk about it then, 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: but I just need a note. Weirdly, there is a 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: brief mention of child abuse. Yeah, but we're not going 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: to go into it. But you know, just so you 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: were in there. This is supposed to be a lighthearted, 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: what could have been what I wish it had been, 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: kind of episode about a movie that really is iconic. 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: And also because we're celebrating the fact that there is 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: a new reprise of The Mummy supposedly coming through with 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: the original cast, and at the end, I think we 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: should do a prediction of that. Oh okay, but that's 30 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: just laiter down. But there's all these things. So this, 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: I will say, is not a feminist movie feature. I repeat, 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: not a feminist movie feature. This is what I would 33 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: call let me have this moment, just let me have 34 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: this second. 35 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: Is that what I should call the I'm just gonna I'm. 36 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: Just gonna just let me have this? Okay? Is it 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: a good movie? But did it make his profits? Sure? 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: Did this kind of end the franchise as we knew it? Maybe? 39 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 40 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, just let me have this, okay. Anyway, this 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: is a two thousand and eight movie. Again, it didn't 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: do awful, Like I think the budget was like one 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: hundred and forty million, but it didn't made four hundred million. 44 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: So you know, better than some of the other movies 45 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: that are out there today that doesn't make back what 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: they put in, so you know, we got that. It 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: didn't do great. I think it's like two stars for 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: the Letterbox, which does a lot of opinions on this. 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: The reviews go back and forth. If you read some 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: of the IMDb reviews, you were like, don't judge, go watch, 51 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: and the other people like this is awful, don't watch it. 52 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: So it's mixed back. I feel like it might could 53 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: be up there with the Scorpio King in that level 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: of like yeah, come backness, But I could be wrong. 55 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: I probably am wrong. They did use the same CGI 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: company as Lord of the Rings, though. 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: You know what, one day we should do the Scorpion King. 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Oh, I have not watched that. After the Mummy too, 59 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't. 60 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: Watch the actual I think to complete. 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: This out, okay, I refuse to watch the Tom Cruise movie, 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: I will. 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: Say, yeah, that's okay. 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm not I refuse to watch that one. 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: I've already seen it.

Like I said, 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: we were doing this partly because the rumors and the 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: scene as confirmed. You never know till you never know, 69 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: because sometimes they do get a shelf though so of 70 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: the newest comeback because Brendan Fraser really has really come 71 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: back to be celebrated as he should be.

Because also there's a lot of like 114 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Mandarin and like Chinese folklore that I don't know, and Annie, 115 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: who got kicked out as band from China, knows way 116 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: more than I do. 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: I have to say, I actually did. I did pick 118 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: up on some things. I was like, oh, oracle phones, 119 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: I know what those are? 120 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: Now, Okay, okay, I see that. I knew it. I 121 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: knew you being banned from men kicked out of China 122 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: was a good beneficial. 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: So I could understand the Mummy three you a little 124 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: bit better. 125 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, glad, I'm glad that I can introject that into 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: every episode of China. All right, here we go. So 127 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: we start off with the ancient area that's known as China. 128 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Now obviously it's like a whole different territorial time with 129 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: lots of wars and battles, and we have the Dragon 130 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Emperor who is jet Lee and he's fighting well everyone 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: because you know, we've got to take over all the lands. 132 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: That's just the whole thing that they do. He is 133 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: evil and power hungry, but does as he sets off 134 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: to do, like he's got a goal and man is 135 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: he doing his thing. We also see his general General Ming, 136 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: who was played by war Russell Wong, who had a 137 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: huge crush on in the younger days. We featured him 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: before on when we talked about joy Lut Club, which 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: yes he was also he was a bad guy in 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: that one, but he was a player in that one. 141 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: But he is a good guy in this one, and 142 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: we get to see him once again as a general. 143 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: And then we have Michelle Yeo. You know how we 144 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: feel about her. We love her playing the sources Zion 145 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: and the three of them are and I love tryinggle 146 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: except she wants nothing to do with the general with 147 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: the emperor because she knows, but he is jealous, and 148 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: so things don't go well for them, like ordering of 149 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: the general who was his best friend by the way, 150 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: because they fell in love. The sorceress and the general. 151 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: But all this, The reason they went to find the 152 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: sorceress is because the Emperor wants to be immortal. He 153 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: has learned the elements of firewater all the power, so 154 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: he's already magical, but he needs more. He wants to 155 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: live forever, obviously, so he goes and fetches her, who 156 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: says she can find the immortality spells or whatever whatnot? 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Does a spell on him in Sanskrit, and you know 158 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: this is when he kind of pulls up like, I'm 159 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: gonna kill your lover because I know what you did 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: unless you marry me. She's like, you won't keep your promise. 161 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: He's like, you're right, kills the general and then stabs her. 162 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: She runs away. Uh. Oh, it turns out she actually 163 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: cursed him and the terra Cotta army if you know 164 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: that they actually exist a lot of like bits of 165 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: history placed in there. So he turns into fire and 166 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: sand and his entire army all get buried. But of course, 167 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: because this is the Mummy franchise, we know things are 168 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: gonna happen. So at this point in time, we cut 169 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: to Rick trying to live his retired life by fly fishing. 170 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: It's not good at y'all, not good at it, Evie, 171 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: who puts out the line. We've talked about this many 172 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: a time, about the fact that when she was doing 173 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: an odd book reading because I'm like, this doesn't fit. 174 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Evie was a Cambridge scholar who has wanted to like 175 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: curate all of these things, all of a sudden is 176 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: writing romance adventure books. Yeah, that didn't make sense to me, 177 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: I will say that. However, on that note, she makes 178 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the line that that was a completely different person or 179 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: woman than me. Haha, and it's Maria Bello she was 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: set up to. It really is hard shoes to fill. 181 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: Yes, so listeners, if you don't know, Rachel Weiss, who 182 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: played Ev in the first two movies, did not come 183 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: back for the third one and was played by a 184 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: different person, and that was sort of their acknowledging joke 185 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: that yes, this is not the same person. And I 186 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: have to say, watching it today, I kept thinking, how 187 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: odd to act in a that must be strange for 188 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: Brendan Fraser as well, right, because it's not the same 189 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: very right. 190 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Right, There's so many things for that. All that to 191 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: say that they are retired and comfortably living in the UK, 192 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm assuming London. But all of this is happening at 193 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: the same time. We find out Alex is all grown now. 194 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: He's twenty something years old, dropped out of college, is 195 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: now in China in search of this army and all 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: about the Emperor and all these things because he knows 197 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: everything about it. He's kind of seemingly he followed his 198 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: father and mother's footsteps in discovering new things. He has 199 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: been sponsored by this guy from the UK, professor who 200 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: is helping him do all these things. They get into 201 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: a lot of hijinks, lots of traps, which, by the way, 202 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: apparently is true that they when they were actually digging 203 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: up these types of artifacts in China, there are so 204 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: many traps that were laid out that they were like 205 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: it took them years to onefold. I'm like this series 206 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: which took a day and a few deaths, no beginning, yeah. 207 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: A few diths. I was like, wow, how. 208 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: Many people died in discovering mo Tip Oh yeah, yeah, 209 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: so many, so many Okay, sacrifices. Anyway, all of that 210 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: to say, okay, we're back to this. We discovered there 211 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: as a protector assassin who was also going after Alex. 212 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: By the way, Alex now has an American accent instead 213 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: of the English accent that he had when he was younger. 214 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: I'd been moving on all this point. We go back 215 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: to Rick and Evy and like the British government is 216 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: asking them to go take back an artifact the eye 217 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: of Shingri law, which always sounded made up to me 218 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: in my head, but I guess that's the thing. Anyway, 219 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: they go back and even though back and forth happened, 220 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: they decided, Okay, we're gonna take it back to China. Jonathan, 221 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: her brother, who is played by the original actor, is there, 222 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: so they're going to visit him as well. All these 223 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: adventures because also they're dying to go back onto adventure 224 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: times and do some discovering. All this is a They 225 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: go to China, discover Alex's there all unhappy. Apparently things 226 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: have not gone well for the father's son. A lot 227 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: of stereotypical things happen, whether the mother is trying to 228 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: keep the peace and the father and the son don't approve, 229 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Jealousy abounds. I don't know things are happening there. We 230 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: also have Game of Thrones actor playing the pilot in 231 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: this one, because they are they need a pilot. I 232 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: feel like in everyone, whether it's an air balloon, a 233 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: war or warplane, or this plane which was a cargo 234 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: plane with the X. 235 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: I didn't know he was shrimp Game of Stones, but yes, yes. 236 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I was like, wait, I know him anyway, 237 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: And so at this point they go to see Alex's 238 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: exhibit that he has discovered. Plot twists. The Chinese government 239 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: is trying to bring back the Emperor from the dead 240 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: so they could take over the world as intended. Things 241 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: happen the Mummy, he's a mummy, but he comes back 242 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: as a really weird figure and trying to be Holigan 243 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: has to find the immortal pool.

I know it 296 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: sounds wild, but that is what happens. 297 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: That a goat oh I will. So I got some 298 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: fun and not so fun facts, including uh that there 299 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: was like when Maria Bellow, who jumped on the chance 300 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: because she is an action stars like she's chained in 301 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: muay Thai and I believe jiu jitsu and different types 302 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: of martial arts, was so excited to do this type 303 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: of film. So she was like, I don't think after 304 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: forty I didn't think I would get this type of offer. 305 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: I jumped on it and then she was like, no, 306 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna have so many more. Was so excited, and 307 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: then that was a cut short that I know, no, 308 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: you know you're not. But the director at the time, 309 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: who has some big things under his name, he got 310 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: really excited, who was not the same director as the 311 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: original Mummies, was excited because he wanted to film in China. 312 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: So that's why he ended up doing it. This was 313 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: I think his last movie. Maybe he had a couple 314 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: more after, but the last big name movie that he had. 315 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: And after that there were some allegations from his daughter 316 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: about child abuse and he has been out of the 317 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: business since, so you know, not so wrong about that. 318 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: So we also have Maria thought it was just the 319 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: beginning for her. It was not the people who decided 320 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: to say no, including Imotep, Artith Bay or Odette Fair, 321 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: who was Artith Bay like. He was only supposed to 322 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: be in for a quick like and die in the 323 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: first momment, but people loved him so much and he 324 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: was like too beautiful that they couldn't tattoo his face. 325 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, no, no, no, he could have 326 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: one or two tattoos, but he's too pretty. He said 327 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: no because he did not like the fact that Emotep 328 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: said no. So both of them were supposed to like 329 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: come and be a part of this, and imotep Reddit, 330 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: the guy who played Imotep Reddit, Arnold Voslou, was like, no, 331 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: I'm good. No, thank you. So after that they're like 332 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: both like, no, they were good, but I know that 333 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: people were trying to say Rachel Weiss said no because 334 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: she just had a baby, but she came back to 335 00:18:51,680 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: wudn't no. I just didn't like it. Hey, oh they 336 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: were trying to be politically correct, I think, and she 337 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: was just like, nah, I just didn't like the do 338 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: and I thought, we also know the rumor. Like the 339 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: first movie she did, she really was really hesitant because 340 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: she was like, this is gonna ruin my career. Really 341 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: didn't think it was gonna be good or big, and 342 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: turned out it was great for her career, but it 343 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: did take a minute for her to realize that. So 344 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: the original she was like yes, and the second one, 345 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I think she really had to be pushed into doing 346 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: so because she also wanted to do a little more 347 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: action because the first one was too lady in distress, 348 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: So both those things happened, and then this one she's like, nah, 349 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: I'm good, I think we're good. Interestingly, it was also 350 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: part in part because the son that she was playing 351 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: was only ten years younger than her, and she was 352 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: like this is absurd, like this is why are you 353 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: aging women like this? And like it is because in actuality, 354 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Mario Bella was only fourteen years older than this actor, 355 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: so he was supposed to play a twenty one year 356 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: old he's actually twenty eight and like all these things 357 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: as well as like he's thirteen years or the Brendan Frasier. 358 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: So like, yeah, you know, you know, but we see 359 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: that all the time where we have a lot older 360 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: actors playing younger constant in Korea, like they're twenty years 361 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: older than they're actually they play high school kids, and 362 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: you're like why, but we see that. So that was 363 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: one of the conversations that was had and need to 364 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: be had in this, like why aren't we making really 365 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: young women being like middle aged mothers. This is a 366 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: weird jump, and I think it had like con continuity 367 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: and trying to make the film something like that and 368 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: aging them because of that, even though it really was 369 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: only ten years after the first film happened, and only 370 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: what five years after the second film happened, so it 371 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: was like he would only be like eighteen. 372 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think about this a lot. I just 373 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: see it all the time. I feel like in enfranchise 374 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: that people love, there comes a point where the characters 375 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: you love have aged yea, and they have a kid, 376 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: and then it becomes about how they're like can't fly 377 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: fish or they can't they it's almost like a sad 378 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: they painted as sad when it's really just your aging 379 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: and it's fine, you don't have to, but they paint 380 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: it as like a strange mid life crisis and your 381 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: kid is causing chaos. It's odd to me how often 382 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: that happens. And I think it's because the creator's age 383 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: with the franchise that they're going through this stuff too. 384 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: I see that that I see it everywhere. Sabouta, I 385 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: see it all the time. 386 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I could definitely see that like they they they got 387 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: to portray where they are. 388 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: This is what it is. 389 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: For this like and again like this director was specific 390 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: to it, like he wanted to do it because of 391 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: it being based in China. And wanted to do something 392 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: in China. I mean he really did have some of 393 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: the biggest Chinese celebrities at the time. Michelle Yo, Russell Long, 394 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: jet Lee jet Ly is like huge and him coming 395 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: he's I don't think he's been any more films for 396 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: the US since, not this, but like in a long time. 397 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: So like having those kind of names and also having 398 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: that like notoriety of movies like Crouching Tiger and Dragon 399 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: and as well as Hero, which was one of my 400 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: favorite movies. Complete communist propaganda by the way, Chinese communists propaganda. 401 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: But it's so beautiful and the artistry of like martial 402 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: arts and the legends that it's not tapped into in 403 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: the US or in like in the wes Western culture. 404 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: To have that being played it could have been amazing 405 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: because it's also based on the Chin dynasty, the Chin Emperor, 406 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: Like this is actually based on history we talked about before, 407 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: as well as the terracotta soldiers that are absolutely in 408 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: display right now, some of the sites that we've seen, 409 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: so some really great ideas in it. Again, the martial 410 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: arts that we get to see with jet Lee Michelle Yo, 411 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: like the things that they do are beautiful, and the 412 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: fighting scenes are gorgeous. This is where I say it 413 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: could have been as someone who was starving for any 414 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: Asian love like in cinema, because I really thought at 415 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: a young age that I could be an actor. But 416 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm fine with all of that. Seeing these 417 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: faces and seeing these actors being placed in Western media 418 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: with the power of the Mummy franchise. What could have 419 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: been is what bothers me so much because these are 420 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: some of my favorite people. As a person who is 421 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: again starving and didn't see hardly any Korean representation, to 422 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: have any Asian face of an Asian heritage makes me 423 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: so happy again. I go back to my love of 424 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: the Brandy Cinderella story because you had a Filipino actor 425 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: coming in and being a heart throb. You're like what 426 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: and being loved, And this is that same level, like 427 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: I really want this culture instead of being the stereotypes 428 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: that we often hear or hurt. Especially during that time, 429 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: there was this level of infantilizing all of Asian culture 430 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: and it still happens. But like seeing that often where 431 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: we see if they are only sidekicks or really smart, 432 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: like stereotypes or talkative stereotypes in general, but we get 433 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: to see them in action and being leaders and being 434 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: heroes and being love interests. It really had so much 435 00:24:54,440 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: potential and then it didn't. And this is where you 436 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: and I were not gonna like. I guess I loved. 437 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to love it so much that when I 438 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: started watching, I was like, oh my god, this is 439 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: really cheesy. Oh my god, why did they do that? 440 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: Oh my god, why do they have this? Oh my god? 441 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Why am I watching? Like mm hmm. It just felt 442 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: so like there was a little bit of a secondhand 443 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: embarrassment in me saying I love this movie, and I'm 444 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I will still love this movie. I 445 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: will probably never watch it again after this watch. 446 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I had the opposite experience, Yeah, because I did. 447 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: I saw it in theaters pretty much. The only thing 448 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: I remembered was the line when Eve says, it's almost 449 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: like I can I'm a completely different person. And then 450 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: I knew there was a dragon. I remembered there was 451 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: a dragon. So I felt like I was watching it 452 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: the first time, to be honest with you, and I 453 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: was like, Oh, this isn't as bad as I remember 454 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 2: it being. So we did have a sort of a 455 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 2: different thing. I also want to point out I didn't 456 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: know this came out in two thousand and eight. That 457 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: was the year. I could be remembering incorrectly, but I 458 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: don't think I am. That was when Beijing hosted the Olympics. 459 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: That was a big year for American co pros with China, 460 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: co productions with China. That was like the big like 461 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: we should invest in China year. Oh yes, I believe, 462 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: And that's to be honest with you. That's one of 463 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: the reasons I went to China is because it became 464 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: sort of this big you should go. This is the 465 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: time Mandarin. 466 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense because Je Lee is 467 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: pro China. If nothing else, that dude loves China or 468 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: is told he has to love China. Some weird rumors 469 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: going around about him right now that I like this 470 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: sounds like sci fi level of rumors, and I think 471 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: if people know what I'm talking about, y'all are in 472 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: the deeps of the conspiracy theory of Chinese government. But 473 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: all that to say is like, there's some interesting stuff. 474 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: But like I could absolutely because yeah, it was a 475 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: summer Olympics or of in Beijing. So that's Yeah, that 476 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense because they actually had permission 477 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: to film in location, including the museum that was holding 478 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: all of these artifacts. So I was actually surprised when 479 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: I noticed that, where I was like, oh, they really 480 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: let them, because I thought maybe I'm wrong. But tell me, 481 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: in the first scenes when they're in the dining room, 482 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: it looks like green screen where they're supposed to be 483 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: in London. They're trying, like and they're trying to show 484 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: off that they're okay and everything's fine, and they're eating 485 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: the fish that he shot because he can't fish. Yeah, 486 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: poor Rick, But like it looks like the green screen 487 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: of what should be yeah, a mansion. 488 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 489 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: We just explained that they didn't have the budget to 490 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: be in the UK, but they had the budget to 491 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: be in China. 492 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: It's possible. I mean, I just I know that was 493 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 2: a big push for a while. 494 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense because they got 495 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: some they got some leeway and being able to film there, 496 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: Like it's pretty tight knit on whose can film it, 497 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: especially in this conversation is not necessarily pro China. 498 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it was interesting that they had I'm 499 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 2: going to assume I could be wrong, but they did 500 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: do like a lot of the the legends and the lore. 501 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: Can't believe they mentioned Tibet. That took me back because 502 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: I was like, Chinese government would not uh uh no way, 503 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: but they did mention Tibet and the oracle bones and 504 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 2: all that stuff. But they must have had some kind 505 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: of some presence on set that was like here are 506 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: our legends go about it this way? Maybe yeah, yeah. 507 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: And I yeah, I don't. I want to say a 508 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: couple of the actors or would be like Hong Kong 509 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: things and we know the big like yeah, the controversy there. 510 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: One of the actors would probably call them self Taiwanese 511 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: and then another actor was American. I believe Russell Long 512 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: is technically American, but Chinese American, Yeah, I think are. 513 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: But like it's pretty interesting because that is a real 514 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: big issue and we know that it is ongoing conversation 515 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: about colonialism and all of that, so like in itself, 516 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: so there's a lot to be said in that name. 517 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: So for them to come through like that, it is 518 00:29:53,840 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: kind of interesting who's representing what in this level. I 519 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: again like I want to love this film so much 520 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: because I love them so much. I love Michelle yo 521 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: so much. I love Jete again interesting and controvertical, was like, 522 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: what is this because like he was in Romeo Must 523 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: Die and that will forever be one of my favorite movies. 524 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: Mmm forever? 525 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 2: Maybe a future. I haven't seen it, so maybe a future. 526 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: I go back and forth because there's a lot of 527 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: political incorrectness. 528 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, Russell Wong is. 529 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: Also in that movie. Okay, But I love Jetlee and 530 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: Aliyah together like that made me so happy. I don't 531 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: know what it was that had my heart singing singing, 532 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: and apparently jetly loved Aliyah. My nineties heart just keeps 533 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: beating higher. 534 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 2: Early ship were you shipping? 535 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know that was a thing. I thought it 536 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: was awkward because it was obvious said they were trying 537 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: to cast them as love interests. He's significantly older than her. 538 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: To me, that was a little odd, but they kept 539 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: it PG like they weren't shipping them as the like 540 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet couple. But if I remember correctly, I 541 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: think she was like, I look, you made me on zydequests. 542 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: I think myself was I mean myself honest, she was 543 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: thirty seven, bro was thirty six, thirty seven women, right, 544 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: so yeah, significant difference. I'm not sure why we were 545 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: all okay with that. I don't think we would again. 546 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: The most that they did was handholding. Yeah, so there 547 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: was never any kissing. I don't think he has done 548 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: any kind of he doesn't do romance. But they really 549 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: wanted this Romeo Juliette title for this, and she was 550 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: playing someone significantly older than that. She shouldn't have been 551 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe she was twenty. I think she might have been twenty, 552 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: but still still not good. Still not great mm hm. 553 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say I was shipping them at any point, 554 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: but I love the fact that they did have the 555 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: cross section and it was especially because again it's supposed 556 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: to be the California based and it was the black 557 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: community versus the Asian community, and it was gangster fighting. 558 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: So all of these things are like, this is really 559 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: politically not good, but the movie is iconic and I 560 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: loved it and the soundtrack. Legitimately one of my favorite 561 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: DMX was in it. I mean, who doesn't love a 562 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: good DMX. He also gets killed in there spoiler alert. 563 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: Care about that. Gently really came in with being like 564 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: someone that the black community loved because he was in 565 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: movies like that, and then he was in Cradle to 566 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: the Grave like that also is with DMX by the way, 567 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: and so he did a lot that was in that 568 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: level that brought into that like understanding communities because like 569 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: we know Jackie Chan who is great and fine, then 570 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: he did you know, all the things the Rush Hour, 571 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: but it was a lot more gimmickey yeah somehow than this. 572 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: So seeing Jente being in any movie maybe very happy, 573 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: very happy because I felt like he was at least 574 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: respectful in what he was doing. Like even him playing 575 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: this bad guy, it still was never like he's a 576 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: bad guy. Improd the Dragon Emperor is a bad guy obviously, 577 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: but like Jentlee just seems like someone who did a 578 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: craft that was mixed on martial arts and acting, you 579 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean, and not trying to take opportunities 580 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: and so doing the movie like Romeo Must Die. I 581 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: do want to know the backstory who thought of this? 582 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: So loving him from the two thousands and yes I 583 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: had that VHS and then later the DVD. Oh yeah, 584 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: of course I think I still have it. 585 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: Actually could be worth something some look up. Some things are. 586 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: Worth a lot of money that you're not I'm gonna 587 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: go back, but it's such a great time. And so 588 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: anytime I saw him and then Michelle yo, who I again. 589 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: I love her on everything and anything. Haven't gone to 590 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 1: see her in Wicked. 591 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm waiting that one. Oh, I saw the first 592 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: one that I'm waiting. 593 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: She's in the second one, right, she's Oh, she is 594 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: in both. She hasn't gotten great accolades for her singing. 595 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of criticism because the way they 596 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: say it that the director really wanted her and so 597 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: fit her into the role, rather than the role fitting her. 598 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but anytime I see those 599 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: types of caliber of actors, I'm like, yes, it's gonna 600 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: be amazing. Like I feel like we expected The Rock 601 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: to not be great because that was his first movie. Yeah, 602 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: and also really badly cegied it. 603 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: Was notorious sleep very bad. 604 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, in that interview they talk about it, yeah, 605 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: and he says because Brendan Fraser actually said that they 606 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: never met while they were filming at all, and they 607 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: the first time they met was on the red carpet 608 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: because the entire time they were filming, he was a 609 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: stick with them. 610 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, like a tennis ball, Yeah with a ball. Yeah. 611 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 2: Now actors have like broken down crying like how can 612 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 2: I act with this tennis ball? 613 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: This is right? Like I know Meryl streepis and that 614 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: we talked about that that's becomes her. She just like, 615 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 1: I'll never do this again because how am I supposed 616 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: to do this? This is ridiculous. But I did find 617 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: that funny. But he talks about like this advanced his 618 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: career because that was the first movie that he had 619 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: ever done, and Brendan Fraser was like, yeah, we should 620 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: bring him on. Come on, he's a big name type 621 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: of conversation. So stuff like that is really you know why. 622 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: But the third one I thought would be just a 623 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: little bit better because you had high caliber and Maria Bellow, 624 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: God bless her. She is a phenomenal actor. 625 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't think like you said, she had 626 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 2: everything stacked against her. I don't think she did a 627 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 2: bad job at all. It was just that she was 628 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 2: not not Rachel. Yeah, people were used to and who 629 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 2: they were expecting, but she did she degreat. 630 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: So with all of that, this is why I wanted 631 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: to love it so much. And now we're watching I'm like, 632 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: oh god, it was really okay, okay, come back to 633 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: come back to the new movie. I'm actually interested in 634 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: how they're going to do this, Like if they're bringing 635 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: back the entire cast, are they going to bring back 636 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 1: Alex or are they going to just make them a blip? Yes? 637 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: So listeners, if you don't know that they are bringing 638 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 2: back According to rumors, Rachel Vyce and Brendan Fraser and 639 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 2: Arnold woslu emotep. 640 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: Yep, as well as Odette Fair as. 641 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 2: Artist Bay, Yes, uh, I don't. 642 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: Know Jonathan's coming back? 643 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 2: I think yeah, I think so too.

I don't see how what that 659 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: would look like. I think everybody, everybody is seemingly confused 660 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: of that what this will look like. It's going to 661 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: be under Universal Pictures. I mean that exists. There's a 662 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: lot of murders happening. Who know. The writers for that 663 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: third movie, by the way, like lost work for so 664 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: long until they were able to come back for Wednesday Juice, 665 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: and so they have made it back. So for a 666 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 1: little while though it's not going well for them. They're 667 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: saying that it could be Matt Beteranelli opened and Kyler 668 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: Gillette from Radio Silence, with the script being by David Coghis. 669 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: Sheell ko Shell, kogay Shell. I don't know. And this 670 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: is from Deadline article of November, so there is I 671 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,479 Speaker 1: guess they have new people. I thought it was gonna 672 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: be Stephen Summerville. I thought he said that he was 673 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: down for it, but it doesn't seem like it in 674 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: this article. 675 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of pieces are still moving this. Yeah, 676 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 2: it got a lot of hype because a lot of 677 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 2: us love it. 678 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: So, I mean, if it happens and the thing is, 679 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be better than the last one, I think, 680 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: and even the new one new reprise would Oh yeah, 681 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: so it's got to be better than those two things, right, 682 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, But will it be better than the first? 683 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: Probably not so, Like that's kind of that level, like 684 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: we would love it for the sake of loving it, 685 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: but do we love it enough to support it if 686 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: it's not great? 687 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 2: I okay, I'm going to say something I said no 688 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 2: very quickly there. I like to think I'm an open 689 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: minded I try to creep a really open mind about 690 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 2: these things things and my mind has been changed before, 691 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 2: so it's possible. I just think that when something I 692 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 2: remember seeing that in theaters, the First Mummy, and I 693 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 2: loved it, and I think that it's going to be 694 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 2: really hard to match me being whoever old I was 695 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 2: at the time, like nine, and watching that movie in theaters, 696 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 2: I just think that's going to be a difficult experience 697 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 2: to match. 698 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: Could it reopen where the younger generations gets to love 699 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: a newer version? 700 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think so. I actually have 701 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: a happy hour about how I've been kind of accidentally 702 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: learning more about the use and fandom. 703 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: So. 704 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 2: I can't really predict what they're up to, to be honest, 705 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: that's kind of my I don't know. 706 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: Apparently there's a another Mummy movie coming out hmmm, but 707 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: it's not the same. I think it's just using the 708 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: title because it's oh yeah, Warner Brothers and uh it's 709 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:24,800 Speaker 1: a horror. 710 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 2: I ran into this when I was trying to search 711 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 2: where I could stream this movie. I found it. Yeah, okay, okay, I. 712 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: Feel like we should just tell people stop doing that, 713 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: give new names. No, they're not going to do that. 714 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 2: They want you to fall into the chap that's their desire. 715 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: But apparently this is under Blomhouse as well. So oh okay, 716 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Okay, but there's a 717 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: lot happening. Thank you for letting me have this because 718 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: I needed to explore. My bowls kind of popped, I 719 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: will say, after rewatching, and now I need to reduce. 720 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna go back with Romeo must die for real, 721 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,720 Speaker 1: just to have I will say. Immediately after I watched 722 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: this one, I was like, I need to first watch 723 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,720 Speaker 1: the first one. I got to cleanse this money mommy 724 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: taste out of my mouth, out of my spirit. So 725 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 1: it's like that I need to watch the first one 726 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 1: just to get back into it, because it would. Yeah, look, 727 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: look when you look at childhood memories and what you 728 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 1: want to love again, why you want to love things, 729 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 1: and things come crashing down, it's a little disappointing. I 730 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: do have I do have hopes for a good not remake, 731 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: but a revamp, because I mean, I honestly, I just 732 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: get really hyped when I see actors that I've seen 733 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: work together, so we'll come back together and reunite. That 734 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: I would just be hyped for that. So like when 735 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: I see a correlation like these two were in this 736 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: together and now they're in this, it does make me 737 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: very happy. So I would just be happy with Rachel 738 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: Byce Brendan Fraser like guest appearance in a random movie 739 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: or show. That would make me happy, to be honest, 740 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm interested. I'm excited to see I 741 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: guess again. I feel like Brendan Fager's comeback is delightful. 742 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: I love Rachel Vice even with all of the personal 743 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: relationship with you know, leaving her husband to be with 744 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: Daniel Craig, who's a very sexy, sexy man.
