Come with me and 19 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: you'll be you know world up, You're nostalgia Nation. As 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: we go back to nineteen ninety six to kick off 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: the list, movies thirty years old in nineteen ninety six. 22 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: Where was I I was five years old? My favorite 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: TV show was probably Barney. When I go back and 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: think what I watched the most, I just love Barney. 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: Power Rangers were already out at the time. Obviously had 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: a big fascination with Power Rangers like any kid who 27 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: grew up in the mid nineties. My other favorite TV 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: show that I watched all the time was Shining Time Station. 29 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: I love me some Thomas the Tank Engine, and also 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: I still had a big love for The Lion King 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety four, which came out a couple of 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: years before this. I remember having a matching set, which 33 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: that was the best thing about the nineties is all 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: the matching clothing for kids. You would have the T 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: shirt that matched, the shorts that matched, the socks that 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: matched the shoes. You'd have the pillowcase. The pillowcases of 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: the nineties were amazing, and I remember having a Power 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Rangers pillowcase and I think Lion King bed sheets. So 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: that's where I was mentally as a five year old. 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: And when I think about movies, I think about my 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: cousin's VHS closet. That was blockbuster to me because we 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: didn't go to Blockbuster a whole lot as a family. 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: My mom did not want to pay for rentals, but 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: also if we would ever have a light fee, she 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: couldn't handle it, so we never had a Blockbuster card. 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: To me, it was going to my cousin's house, who 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: had every VHS I could imagine. He would get new 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: ones all the time. I'd go over to his house 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: and just look at this closet full of VHS's, but 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: he would let me borrow them. I'd take them home, 51 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: and that was my version of Blockbuster. The other thing 52 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I loved about nineteen ninety six in the mid nineties 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: were all the movie tie ins with happy meals. But 54 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: more specifically, for me, I was a Burger King kid. 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: I know everybody else's happy meal McDonald's kids, Burger King 56 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: was far superior to me. Not only the food. I 57 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: love the chicken nuggets, the small ah. I love me 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: some Burger King French fries. I think they have a 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: better taste than McDonald's french fries. To me, they taste 60 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: more like potatoes. So I think I'm the only person 61 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: who will fight for Burger King. But also when it 62 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: came to the movie tie ins, in the nineties, they 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: had Rugrats toys, which were probably my favorite. When that 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: movie came out, the Pokemon line was fantastic. It doesn't 65 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: get anything better than that. I was at a flea 66 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: market recently over the holiday break and somebody was selling 67 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: those old school Poke balls that they had with the 68 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: gold plated cards inside. There was no better fast food 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: tie in than those Pokemon balls with the gold cards. 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: But they had dragon balls ze. They had a lot 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: of Nickelodeon stuff, which I was much more of a 72 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Nickelodeon kid growing up. My biggest dilemma growing up was 73 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: I remember this when I was five years old, I'm like, 74 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: what am I gonna eat after? I'm too big for 75 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: a kid's meal? And luckily Burger King came through and 76 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: they invented the Big Kids Meal, and I was like, oh, 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm set for another four or five years. But not 78 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: only that, they had the Burger King Kids Club, which 79 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: was all their marketing in the nineties. They had all 80 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: these different characters that would pop up on the cups 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: and on the back I remember I always wanted to 82 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: be Kid Vid, who was the kid with the backwards 83 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: red hat, the big yellow bangs and the cool, almost 84 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: like cyclop sunglasses. I wanted to be that kid so bad, 85 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: but to me, it did not get any better than 86 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: the Burger King Kids Club. I think you could actually 87 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: like write in to be a part of it. But 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: that is where I was in nineteen ninety six looking 89 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: at the highest grossing films of the year. At number 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: ten was Space Jam, which this movie blew my mind 91 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: and I think to a lot of people who did 92 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: not grow up with the Looney Tunes in the nineties, 93 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: this was our introduction because obviously the Looney Tunes have 94 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: been around for such a long time, and it almost 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: feels like the Looney Tunes are always fighting for their 96 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: life to be relevant. But Space Jam was such a classic. 97 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: It does not get more Nineties than Bugs Bunny and 98 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan together. I remember also I had a tune 99 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: squad Jersey, which was huge for me. I had to 100 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: beg my parents so much much to get me one 101 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: of these. I'm pretty sure we went to J. C. 102 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Penny and I got the tune squad Jersey. I don't 103 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: think I had a specific character. They might have just 104 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: been blanks, but everybody had one. I remember my cousin, 105 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: my different cousin had one, and I was like, someday, 106 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to get one of those, and I think 107 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: I ended up getting one for my birthday. So Space 108 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Jam at number ten, making two hundred and fifty million dollars. 109 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: Back in ninety six, at number nine we had Jerry McGuire, 110 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: which made two hundred and seventy three million dollars at 111 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: the box office. If only Tom Cruise could go back 112 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: to doing movies like Jerry McGuire At this point, why 113 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: not just do Jerry McGuire two. I think there's a 114 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: demand for it. A lot of people would be upset, 115 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: but I would rather have Jerry McGuire two than another 116 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible where he's trying to do all these crazy stunts. 117 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: At one time he was trying to go to space. 118 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: Apparently that has been shut down. So I don't think 119 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: we're ever going to get the Tom Cruise movie where 120 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: he actually filmed something in space. But he is always 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: just trying to push all these limits. But I think 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: we also forget how good of an hector Tom Cruise 123 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: is because that has almost come secondary in all of 124 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: his movies recently, where he's just running at full speed 125 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: all the time. I want to see rom com Tom 126 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: Cruise again doing movies like Jerry Maguire. If he went 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: back to doing that, I still think he would make 128 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money. At number eight, we have The 129 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: Nutty Professor, which also made two hundred and seventy three 130 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: million dollars and some change at the box office this year. 131 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: This to me was prime Eddie Murphy, which I didn't 132 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: grow up in the eighties, obviously, and I do remember 133 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: going back and watching his time on SNL, which was hilarious. 134 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Raw and Delirious are two of my favorite comedy specials, 135 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: but that wasn't relevant when I was growing up. The 136 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: things that were relevant were The Nutty Professor, all the 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: scenes at the table, everybody farting. There's so many iconic 138 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: scenes from The Nutty Professor. But yes, you probably could 139 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: not do this movie too day. And even though I 140 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: just said I would like a Jerry Maguire too, that's 141 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: more so because I want to see Tom Cruise doing 142 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: something that's not so physically demanding. Eddie Murphy has gone 143 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: back and done things like another Beverly Hills cop movie 144 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: that just didn't work out, So I didn't really like 145 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: that one, so I don't think reviving this franchise is 146 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: in the cards of something I would actually want to see. 147 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: So as much as I love this back in the nineties, 148 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: I think we have to kind of keep it there. 149 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: At number eight was the Nutty Professor. At number seven 150 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: was Ransom making three hundred and nine million dollars at 151 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: the box office. Got to say, in the nineties, I 152 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: did not watch Ransom. I was more on the line 153 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: of what is at number six, one hundred and one 154 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: Dalmatians making three hundred and twenty million dollars at the 155 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: box office, one that I really remember watching on VHS 156 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: at school, which I don't really think you learned anything 157 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: from one hundred and one Dalmatians, but that is very 158 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: much it's movie day. We need to watch a movie 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: that doesn't have any bad words that we can show 160 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: it to the entire class. One hundred and one Dalmatians 161 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: a perfect movie day movie. At number five we have 162 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: The Hunchback of Notre Dame making three hundred and twenty 163 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: five million dollars at the box office. I know I 164 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: raved earlier about Burger King, but what I remember most 165 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: aside from the actual movie was the McDonald's tie in 166 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: with the Hunchback of Notre Dame toys. I actually think 167 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: that I got the toys before I even watched the movie, 168 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: because I didn't watch it in theaters. I really didn't 169 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: go to the movies a lot as a five year old. 170 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a normal thing, but I 171 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: remember watching a lot of these movies on VHS. But 172 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: I would still go to McDonald's from time to time, 173 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: and I remember the Quasi Moto pen I think there was, 174 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: and the Little Gargoyle guys. I remember getting those toys 175 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: and being like, I don't really know what these are, 176 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: but they're kind of cool toys. And then eventually when 177 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: I saw the movie, I was like, oh, yeah, Quasi 178 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: motos morelda, I get it now, but had pretty good 179 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: line of toys. Still not better than the Burger King stuff, 180 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: but man, that is what I remembered so much about 181 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: watching a lot of these movies. At number four, you 182 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: have The Rock, which made three hundred and thirty five 183 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: million dollars at the box office. Speaking to Tom Cruise, 184 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: he is at number three this year with Mission Impossible 185 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: making four hundred and fifty seven million dollars at the 186 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: box office. How much this changed action movies in the nineties. 187 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Just that scene of Tom Cruise repelling down and stopping 188 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: at the last second, That right there defined the franchise. 189 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: I would say, not one moment has topped that stunt 190 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: out of anything, and that was one that Tom Cruise 191 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: actually did not a stunt double, and they did that 192 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: so many times to get it right. At number three, 193 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: you have Mission Impossible. At number two one of my 194 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time, Twister, which made almost five 195 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars at the box office. I guess the 196 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: thing I don't think about is this movie being so 197 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: financially successful, because that really didn't matter to me as 198 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: a five year old in ninety six. I just remember 199 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: watching this movie on VHS so much and it becoming 200 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies. The only thing I remember 201 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: now thinking back is we tried to go watch this 202 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: movie on opening night and it was sold out. I 203 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: remember my hometown walked to Hagie, Texas had a movie 204 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: theater Buffalo Creek with six screens in it, and we went. 205 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: I remember being so disappointed when you would have to 206 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: call ahead and find out the times. You'd literally call 207 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: a phone number, and at Buffalo Creek they just had 208 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: an employee who would every week or maybe even every day, 209 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: update all the times they tell you the movie, and 210 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: they tell you all the times, and you'd have to 211 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: sit there on the phone to hear every single movie, 212 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh man, when you're gonna get to Twister. 213 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: It's all the way at the end. But I remember 214 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: walking up to Buffalo Creek and looking up at the 215 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Marquee sign where they used to have well, we don't 216 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: really look at that anymore. I buy all my movie 217 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: tickets on the app. At the very most, I'll go 218 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: to the kiosk, but the actual place where you walk 219 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: up and you see the little times and the movie names, 220 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: I never go there anymore. But I remember walking up 221 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: to that and seeing that it was sold out, So 222 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: me and my family all went back home and didn't 223 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: get to see Twister, but got it on VHS and 224 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: is now the movie I've probably seen the most in 225 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: my lifetime, at least over fifty five times at this point. 226 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: But at number two is Twister, and at number one, 227 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: the highest grossing movie of nineteen ninety six, making eight 228 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen million dollars, turning thirty this year is Independence. Day, 229 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to Earth. What a great movie. This movie blew 230 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: my mind so much as a youngin that I kind 231 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: of thought it was real. It was one of those 232 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: movies that I thought, Oh, man, they're predicting the future 233 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: and aliens are actually going to come down one day 234 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: and Will Smith is going to have to defeat them all. 235 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: Crazy to think that this movie is thirty years old. 236 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: Some other movies turning thirty this year, Happy Gilmore, that's 237 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: a big one. You think they could have waited one 238 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: more year to put out Happy Gilmore two on its 239 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary, although Adam Sandler will probably do something special 240 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: for that this year. Far Transpotting sling Blade. Also turning 241 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: thirty this year, Scream, which I was way too young 242 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: to watch it. But the crazy thing about Scream is 243 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: how heavily Drew Barrymore was used in all the promotion 244 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: that you thought, oh, she's going to be such a 245 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: big part of the movie. There were posters with just 246 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore's face, and then Wes Craven did the thing 247 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: that threw everybody off, killing her in the opening scene, 248 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: letting you know that Okay, this movie is here to play. 249 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: There are no rules. Anybody can go down at any time, 250 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. And they're still making 251 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: scream movies. There's another one coming out this year. You 252 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: also have James and the Giant Peach, which was a 253 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: movie that I really remember from the VHS previews where 254 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: before you'd buy VHS, you put it in and you'd 255 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: have to watch trailers before you watch your actual movie 256 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: about coming attractions coming next to DVD and video, which 257 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: at the time in ninety six was just video. But 258 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: I remember seeing this trailer and I was like, man, 259 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: I really got to see that movie. The animation blew 260 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: my mind. But what a perfect relic of the nineties, 261 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: because you really don't get animation that way anymore. You 262 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: also have Waiting for Guffman, The Craft, The Birdcage, Mars 263 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,599 Speaker 1: Attacks from Dust Till Dawn, one of my favorite vampire 264 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: movies of all time. Matilda. Now that is a great movie. 265 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: That is one if I just need a comforting movie 266 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: that I could start at any single point, no matter 267 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: if it's at the very beginning or even towards the 268 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: very end, Miss trunch Bull and the Chokey Man. If 269 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: I could have some of that cake, that big old 270 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: piece of chocolate cake. I feel like I could eat 271 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: a good chunk of that. Matilda is a great movie. 272 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: Primal Fear, Romeo and Juliet Black Sheep, Jingle All the Way, 273 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: and Bottle Rocket all came out in ninety six and 274 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: are turning thirty. The highest grossing actors of the year. 275 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: At number ten was Robert de Niro, and number nine 276 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: was Bruce Willis. At number eight was Denzel Washington. At 277 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: number seven Sandra b Sandra Bullock in thirteen million dollars. 278 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: At number six was Brad Pitt. At number five was 279 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: John Travolta, kind of surprised to see him so high 280 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: up there at fifteen million dollars for ninety six. At 281 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: number four is Mel Gibson making twenty million dollars. At 282 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: number three, thought he'd be a little bit higher. Jim Carrey, 283 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: also making twenty million dollars, and number two was Tom 284 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Cruise with thirty million, and at number one, the highest 285 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: paid actor of the year in ninety six Arnold Schwarzenhagger 286 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: at seventy four million. And if you look at the 287 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: highest paid actors now, or even just the most relevant, 288 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: all those are still pretty much right up there. If 289 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: they all put out a movie today, I still think 290 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: it would do well. Bruce willis a much different story, 291 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: just because of all of his health problems. I think 292 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: the one person who I can't remember the last time 293 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: I saw a good movie with him in it is 294 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: John Travolta. But I think everybody else would have a 295 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: chance of putting out a movie that people actually cared about. 296 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: I also found this list that I thought was interesting 297 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: who made their debut thirty years ago? In ninety six, 298 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: Edward Norton made his big screen debut in Primal Fear. 299 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Of this year, Ryan Gosling made his debut in movies 300 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: with a movie called Frankenstein and Me. Jamie Presley made 301 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: her debut with Mercenary, which I think I told you 302 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: guys this story. I went to go see a movie 303 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: one Saturday, and I was walking into my theater and 304 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: I have to go down an escalator and I see 305 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: this woman who looks so much like Jamie Presley. But 306 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, why would Jamie Presley be at 307 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: the movies so early? And I was going to watch 308 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: the Last Conjuring movie. Why would she be here this early? 309 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Because it was my Saturday morning early cinema time and 310 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: I sat in my seat and I thought that had 311 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: to be her. Because I have a great sense of 312 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: spotting celebrities. I wouldn't just think that woman looks like 313 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: Jamie Presley and it not actually be her. So I 314 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: happened to Google and she was in town for the 315 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: Nashville Film Festival, and I'm like, that's her. And when 316 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: I walked out again, I saw her and confirmed it 317 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: was her. I was gonna go say hi to her, 318 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: but right as I was walking up to talk to her, 319 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: she headed off and I followed her. But then I 320 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: realized she went into the bathroom, and I'm like, there's 321 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: no way I'm gonna wait for somebody to come out 322 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: of the bathroom to say I was such a huge 323 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: fan back in the day. My Name Is Earol is 324 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: one of my favorite comedies, and I think it doesn't 325 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: get enough credit. But I'm like, I can't be that person. 326 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: Cool that I saw her, but I wasn't about to 327 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: put myself in a position of having to explain I've 328 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: been waiting for you outside of this bathroom. But she 329 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: made her acting debut in ninety six. Colin Hanks, tom 330 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: Hanks's son, made his debut in That Thing You Do, 331 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: had a really really small part You blink and you 332 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: miss him. Wes Anderson, the director, had his debut with 333 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: Bottle Rocket, which also featured the on screen debut for 334 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson. I still really enjoyed Bottle Rocket, 335 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: even though it doesn't really feel like Wes Anderson yet. 336 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: But it was that big stepping stone giving him the 337 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: ability to make a movie like that with a low 338 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: budget that led to the Wes Anderson we know today. 339 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: Will Arnett also had his debut in ninety six with 340 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: a movie called Close Up. Viola Davis was in the 341 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: Substance of Fire. Anna Faris was in Eden, Ben Foster 342 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: was in Counterfeit. Nicholas Holt way back in the day, 343 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: was in a movie called Intimate Relations. I haven't seen 344 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: that one. Patton Oswald made his debut in Down Periscope. 345 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: Freddie Prince Junior made his debut into Gilligan on her 346 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: thirty seventh birthday. I haven't even heard of that movie. 347 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: Adam Scott also made his debut in hell Raiser Bloodline. 348 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: Octavia Spencer made her debut and A Time to Kill 349 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: Julius Stiles made her debut and I Love You, I 350 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: Love You Not, and Donnie Wahlberg also made his debut 351 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: in a movie called Bullet. Moving on now to two 352 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: thousand and six movies turning twenty. Where was I in 353 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and six. I was fifteen years old. I 354 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: was in high school. I was probably insufferable at this point. 355 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: I was at that age where I thought I knew everything. 356 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: I thought I listened to the best music. I thought 357 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: that if a girl just gave me a chance, she 358 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: would see that I am the person she is supposed 359 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: to be with. Looking back, I was an idiot. I 360 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: had nothing to offer. But I was also watching a 361 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: lot of DVDs, still not going to the movies that 362 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: much even then, still really couldn't afford it. But the 363 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: thing about two thousand and six, it was the era 364 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: of burned DVDs. I had a friend who would just 365 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: bring over stacks and snacks and DVDs. That is how 366 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: I want so many. Back in the day, I also remember, 367 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: aside from burned DVDs, we would go to a place 368 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: and walk to ATCHI called the video station, and they 369 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: had dollar rentals. And this place was so old school. 370 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: I think It had been around for probably at least 371 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: a decade before this. I think ever since I was 372 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: a kid. I remember the video station being there. It 373 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: is gone now, rip but they had dollar rentals, and 374 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: this movie rental place was so old school. You would 375 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: go to the wall and there would just be all 376 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: these DVDs on a shelf and they'd have like a 377 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: little chip on little hangar underneath it, and you would 378 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: just pick up that chip, take it up to the 379 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: counter and they would take that. And I don't know 380 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: what system they had, but the chips had some kind 381 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: of number on it, and they would just give you 382 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: the DVD from behind the counter. And that was the system. 383 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: You go take the chip, you take it up there, 384 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: and if there wasn't a chip there, that means they 385 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,239 Speaker 1: didn't have it available for you to rent. But that 386 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: is also how we watched a lot of movies. The 387 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: highest grossing movies of two thousand and six at number 388 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: ten was Happy Feet at number nine, with Superman returns 389 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: at number eight. Missioned Impossible three so ten years after 390 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: the first one came out again it landed on the 391 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: top ten list at number seven. X Men the Last Stand, 392 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: making four hundred and sixty million dollars at the box office. 393 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this movie. I do remember going to 394 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: see this one in theaters and a lot of people 395 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: thought that this was the worst one in the trilogy, 396 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: and some would say the beginning of the end of 397 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: quality when it came to the X Men movies. But 398 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: at that time, when this movie came out, I was 399 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: so heavily invested. I didn't see one or two in theaters, 400 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: but I remember I'm going to see this one and 401 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: being so blown away, especially at the final battle scene, 402 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: the quote unquote last stand. I really enjoy this one. 403 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: I think the X Men first three movies is a 404 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: great trilogy and I can't wait to see them again. 405 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: In Avengers Doomsday at number six was Cars dominated. I 406 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: didn't love it at the time. I think, like I 407 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: was mentioning earlier at fifteen years old, this was kind 408 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: of where I started to see animated movies as being 409 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: dom and being that I didn't want to be a 410 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: kid anymore, so I probably at the time refused to 411 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: watch Cars. I still don't think it is a top 412 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: tier Pixar movie when it comes to what I would 413 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: put in the mount rushmore of Pixar movies Lightning McQueen 414 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: would not be on my Mount Rushmore even if we 415 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: added a fifth head, even if we added a mini 416 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore. At the bottom of this one. As good 417 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: as it is, I do think cars a little bit overrated. 418 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: At number five nine at the Museum. Another one I 419 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: remember watching in school because it's kind of educational, even 420 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: though really is it. At number four is Casino Royale. 421 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: At number three is Ice Age The Meltdown. At number 422 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: two is The Da Vinci Code, which made seven hundred 423 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: and sixty million dollars at the box office. I never 424 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: really got on the Da Vinci cod train, and again, 425 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: at that time, much like right now, I was not 426 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: reading books and going to watch the movies unless it 427 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: was required reading, so I never really got too into 428 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: those movies. I wonder if I revisited them now as 429 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: an adult, that I would find them more entertaining. But 430 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: at number one was Pirates of the Caribbean, dead Man's 431 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: Chest being the only movie this year to make one 432 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: billion dollars at the box office. Looking at some other movies, 433 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: turning twenty years old, High School Musical premiered on the 434 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: Disney Channel in two thousand and six, and again I 435 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: was more of a Nickelodeon kid. This was also at 436 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: a time where I probably dipped out from Disney Channel 437 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: fifteen years old. Probably it was that cool anymore. Even 438 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: though I never really stopped watching Nickelodeon, I would still 439 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: watch SpongeBob well into my teens, and I would still 440 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: obviously watch Nick and Knight. But that's a bit different. 441 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: But high school musical turning thirty this year, could we 442 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: get zach Efron back into The Long Hair two thousand 443 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: The Wig to do a reunion for that movie. You 444 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: also had The Prestige and The Illusionists, where a couple 445 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: of twin films, Because this tends to happen not a 446 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: whole lot anymore. I don't think that studios would want 447 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: to go through that headache of the competition. But back 448 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: in the day, we'd have these twin films. We have 449 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: two movies that are very similar to each other come 450 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: out around the same time, and sometimes it's because competing 451 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: studios get wind of another studio getting a script and 452 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: they want to get a leg up on that studio. 453 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: Maybe they were both fighting for one, or there was 454 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: two out there and they realize both of them have 455 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: this script that is similar to the other, so they 456 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: want a race to get their movie to the market first, 457 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: because if you have a movie that is similar, you 458 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: want to get it out first in or to make 459 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,479 Speaker 1: the most money. When it came to both of these movies, 460 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 1: they were actually both solid. I think the better of 461 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: the two is The Prestige, which is the one directed 462 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: by Christopher Nolan. But The Illusionists also not a bad movie. 463 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: So sometimes it is a good thing because you end 464 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: up getting two pretty decent movies, but usually there's one 465 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: that is worse that doesn't do as well, which in 466 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: this case, the Prestige outperformed the Illusionists at the box office, 467 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: making one oh nine million dollars compared to The Illusionists, 468 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: which made eighty seven million dollars, which is pretty close. 469 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: But the Illusionists actually had a smaller budget, so it 470 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: ended up having a higher profit margin. But the Prestige 471 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: had Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Meanwhile, the Illusionists had 472 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: Ed Norton. Also in two thousand and six, you had 473 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Little Miss Sunshine, The Pursuit of Happiness, Blood Diamon, Tenacious 474 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: D and the Picadestiny Letters from Ewojima, Black Snake Moan, Dreamgirls, 475 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: The Devil Wears Prada, which we are getting a sequel 476 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: later this year. That one actually got it right doing 477 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: it on a big anniversary, being the twentieth year Rocky Balboa. 478 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: Sylvester Staloone tried to return it as a Rocky the Host, 479 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: which is a great movie by Bong June Hoe grid 480 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: Iron Gang with the rock The Hills Have Eyes, which 481 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: that movie terrified me when it first came out. Idiocracy, 482 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: which Connor predicted the future, which my favorite story about 483 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: Idiocracy is director Mike Judge, who also created King of 484 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: the Hill and Beavis and butt Head. He needed some 485 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: dumb footwear and he wanted something that looks so stupid 486 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: that it would make sense in this film, because it's 487 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: all about how humanity just gets dumber and dumber to 488 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: a point that everybody just has no brain cells whatsoever, 489 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: and the entire world is just like a big landfill 490 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: run really poorly. Everybody eats terribly. But he needed to 491 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: show that fit, that aesthetic that looks so ridiculous, and 492 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: he found crocs and he thought, man, these are so ugly, 493 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: so stupid looking. I think a majority of the crocs 494 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: in the movie are a very bright orange, and he thought, 495 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: there's no way that these shoes catch on. They are 496 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: too atrocious that nobody would wear them seriously, so he 497 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: put them in the movie. And then what happens, Crocs 498 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: end up getting really popular. So if you go back 499 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: and watch that movie now, you probably just think, oh, 500 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: they're all just wearing crocs. But at the time nobody 501 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: was wearing crocs because they look so ridiculous, but now 502 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: have become the norm. Also, this year you also have 503 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: Clerks two, which I loved, Maybe at times I enjoy 504 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: it more than Clerks one. Clerk's One was revolutionarying in 505 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: black and white, gave a lot of independent filmmakers aspirations 506 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: of being able to put out a movie of their own. 507 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: But as far as just quality story and overall emotional impact, 508 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: I like Clerks too a lot better. You also have 509 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: a lot of movies that I feel like if you 510 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: were what I was in ninety six five years old, 511 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: probably watched and loved movies like Flushed Away, Over the 512 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: Hedge and Monster House and Open Season. And then you 513 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: had saw three Failure to Launch, Employee of the Month, 514 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Final Destination three, Tokyo Drift, Lady in the Water, from 515 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: m Night Shyamalan and My Super Ex Girlfriend, which is 516 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: an underrated movie of two thousand and six with Owen 517 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: Wilson and Uma Thurman. I also do remember going to 518 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: see that movie in theaters where Luke Wilson goes out 519 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: with Uma Thurman finds out she's a superhero. He thought, man, 520 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: this girl is awesome. Then they break up and she 521 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: kind of ruins his life. Highest paid actors of the 522 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: year include Naomi Watts at number ten, Cameron Diaz at 523 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: number nine, Jennifer Gardner at number eight, Nicole Kidman at 524 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: number seven, j Low at number six, Jennifer Aniston at 525 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: number five, Drew Barrymore at number four, Willi Smith at 526 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: number three, Johnny Depp at number two with thirty seven million, 527 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: and at number one again on the list, the highest 528 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: paid actor of two thousand and six Tom Cruise with 529 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: sixty seven million dollars. Tom Cruise has to have so 530 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: much money at this point. Not as many actors made 531 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: their debut in two thousand and six that we would know, 532 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: but Dave Batista did come off of wrestling and did 533 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: his debut with Relative Strangers. Anna the Ottamas had her 534 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: debut with Virgin Rose. Scott Eastwood made his debut with 535 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: a movie called Flags of Our Fathers. Greta Gerwick, who 536 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: directed Barbie, also started out as an actor, was making 537 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: her debut with LOL And those are our debuts for 538 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Moving on now to movies Turning 539 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: ten That all came out in twenty sixteen. Where was 540 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: I in twenty sixteen. I was at the beginning of 541 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: the year living on my own because my brother was 542 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: slowly moving out of our apartment. I was finishing up college. 543 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: I graduated in May and then moved to Nashville immediately after. 544 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: So twenty sixteen was a very defining year for me 545 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: where my entire world changed. But it was also the 546 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: year that I reviewed my first movie professionally. And this 547 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: was back when snapchat was really popular, and I still 548 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: remember going to see Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice. 549 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: I went to Regal Theaters on Little Texas Lane in 550 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: South Austin, which wasn't even my go to theater, I 551 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: think just because it was close to where I lived, 552 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: and maybe they had the best showtime whenever I went 553 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: to go see it, but I went, I watched it, 554 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: and I got on my Snapchat afterward, which is where 555 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: I did all my reviews, probably for three years before 556 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: I started this podcast, and I just gave my thoughts 557 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: on it, and Bobby hit me up and said, hey, 558 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: good review, send me the audio and I'll play it 559 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: on the show. And that goes down in history as 560 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: my first ever movie review. But that is what I 561 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 1: remember the most about twenty sixteen. The highest grossing movies 562 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: of the year, which at this point I was going 563 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: to the movies all the time, not as much as 564 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: I do now because we didn't have Regal Limited at 565 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: the time, but I was going a lot and reviewing 566 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: a lot of movies. At number ten, you have sing 567 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: At number nine, you have Suicide Squad, which I hated 568 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: that movie when it came out. At number eight, like 569 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, the highest grossing movie of the year 570 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: year was Batman Versus Superman Dawn of Justice At number 571 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: seven was Zutopia, blew my mind when it came out 572 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen, and we did get that new 573 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: one last year that was just as good as the original, 574 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: still not better than the original. And I saw that 575 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: movie twice in theater, so I can say that now. 576 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: At number six, Deadpool which really rocked the ecosystem of 577 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: superhero movies back in twenty sixteen, where it was crazy 578 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: that at that time, after debuting in two thousand and 579 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: eight with the MCU with Iron Man, that it needed 580 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: a little shakeup. It was R rated, it was very meta, 581 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: and it changed what we thought about what superhero movies 582 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 1: could be. At number five was The Jungle Book. At 583 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: number four was The Secret Life of Pets. A lot 584 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: of animate movies on the list for this year, which 585 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: is kind of the norm now, the movies people still 586 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: pay money to go see in theaters. At number three 587 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Captain America Civil War. The biggest thing I was excited 588 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: about going to see this movie in theaters for the 589 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: first time. The debut of Spider Man in the MCU. 590 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: I remember going to watch it and later running a tweet. 591 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: They finally got Spider Man and Peter Parker Wright because 592 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: Tom Holland came in as the younger, fresher Peter Parker 593 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: that we needed because even though I love Andrew Garfield, 594 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: he was a little bit moody. He was also just 595 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: too good looking. But that was a great in theater experience. 596 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: At number two you have Finding Dory, which I think 597 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: I've only seen that movie once. I saw it in 598 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: theaters and thought, well, I don't know if that was 599 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: entirely necessary, felt pretty underwhelmed leaving the theater after watching 600 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: that one and at number one. The highest grossing movie 601 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: of the year with five hundred and thirty two million 602 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: dollars at the box office in the US was Rogue One, 603 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: a Star Wars story. This was still at a time 604 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: where I fully wasn't into the world of Star Wars 605 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: as far as even considering myself a fan. This movie 606 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: changed that because even if you didn't know anything about 607 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: Star Wars going into this one, I feel like this 608 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: movie can stand alone where it has great action. Really 609 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: by the end of it, it doesn't leave you thinking 610 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: I wonder what they're going to do next. There is 611 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: a definite end. This is just one story, pretty much 612 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: all self contained. Other movies that came out in twenty 613 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: sixteen Moonlight, Arrival, La La Land, a lot of great 614 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: Oscar Worthy movies here. Manchester by the Sea, which is 615 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: a depressing movie that is one that I can't really recommend. 616 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: And also if you say, oh, you're gonna cry if 617 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: you watch Manchester by the Sea, I don't think you 618 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: will at this point, because that has been a big 619 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: selling point. If you missed out on that initial window 620 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: of not having any influence of this movie going to 621 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: make you feel a certain way. It is sad, but 622 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: I think just on its own, if you go into 623 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: it knowing it's going to be sad, you're prepared and 624 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: you probably won't cry by watching it. Hell or High 625 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: Water was another great underrated movie of twenty sixteen. Mowana, 626 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: The Nice Guys, Fences, The Edge of seventeen, Doctor Strange 627 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: also debuted this year. Ten Cloverfield, Lane, Sully, Don't Breathe, 628 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: Star Trek, Beyond the Life, Roster, and Hacksaw Ridge all 629 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: came out in twenty sixteen, and the highest paid actors 630 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: of the year. You have Adam Sandler at thirty million, 631 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg also at thirty million. At number eight, you 632 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: have Brad Pitt. At number seven, you have Robert Downey Junior. 633 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: At number six, you have Ben Diesel at number five, 634 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: you have Ben Affleck at number four, you have Johnny 635 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: Depp at number three, you have Tom Cruise at number two, 636 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: you have Matt Damon at fifty five million, and at 637 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: number one you have Dwayne Johnson at sixty four point 638 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: five million dollars. Not a whole lot of actors made 639 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: their debut in twenty sixteen, and it has only been 640 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: ten years since then, so maybe looking back at another 641 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: five years will think, oh, man, this person had their debut, 642 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: but maybe they're just not at that level of fame yet. 643 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: The only person I could really find who had their 644 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: debut in twenty sixteen was Anya Taylor Joy in The Witch, 645 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: which came out in theaters that year. Everybody else I 646 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: found was pretty much just to cast the Stranger Things, 647 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: but they didn't make their feel debut, just made their 648 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: debut on Netflix in that show. So that is the 649 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: list movies that turn thirty, twenty and ten years old. 650 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: I'll come back and give my spoiler free review of 651 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: twenty eight years later, The Bone Temple. Let's Get into 652 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: It Now. A spoiler free movie review of twenty eight 653 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: years later, The Bone Temple. This one picks up immediately. 654 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: We're the last one left off, which I didn't know 655 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: how I was going to like that, because I don't 656 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: really like it when movies get split up into two 657 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: when there's really just one story and they try to 658 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: get more out of it. And there was a lot 659 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: more anticipation for me going into twenty eight years later, 660 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: because I've been waiting a long time for this franchise 661 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: to come back. And these movies were both filmed at 662 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: the exact same time, back in the summer of twenty 663 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: twenty four, but the first one was directed by Alex Garland. 664 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: This one was directed by Nina da Costa, and they 665 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: actually feel like completely different movies, at least to me. 666 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: The Bone Temple feels unlike anything else in the franchise. 667 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: So I will say that before getting into this review 668 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: that I won't talk too much about the plot, but 669 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: even just talking about the initial plot is going to 670 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: tell you a little bit where the first one left off. 671 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: So while it's still spoiler free in the world of 672 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: the Bone Temple, but anything I say really isn't going 673 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: to ruin anything for you, because just knowing that this 674 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: movie even exists lets you know a little bit about 675 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: how the last one ends. So I will say that 676 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: on the beginning, just because I like to be as 677 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: completely upfront with you with any spoilers. But I was 678 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: so surprised how much this actually felt different than the 679 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: first movie, where that movie I felt still had very 680 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: much the same DNA as those first two movies. Now, 681 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen any of the twenty eight years 682 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: or twenty eight Days Later franchise, you don't necessarily have 683 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: to start with those first two movies. So as long 684 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: as you watch twenty eight years Later from last Year, 685 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: you will know what is going on with the Bone Temple. 686 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: If you really want to, you can go all the 687 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: way back and start with twenty eight days Later and 688 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: then twenty eight weeks later. But just seeing twenty eight 689 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: years Later, I know it gets a little bit an amusing. 690 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: Just watching the movie from Last Year twenty twenty five 691 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: before you see the Bone Temple, you would be good 692 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: in that scenario. Really, all you need to know is 693 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: this rage virus is spread through blood and it is 694 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: entirely contained in the UK. You won't go into twenty 695 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: eight years Later thinking I'm completely lost what is this 696 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: story about, because it does a really good job at 697 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: resetting the storyline, and this is supposed to be a 698 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: part of an entirely new trilogy while it is still 699 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: in the same world dealing with those same effects that 700 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: happened in that indititional twenty eight days Later movie. You 701 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to watch those movies to understand it, 702 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: but it does add to the emotional impact. But what 703 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: you have in this movie is ray Find's character in 704 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: the most insane look I have ever seen him, and 705 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: he finds himself interacting with a new friend that could 706 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: change the entire world, and that whole relationship and dynamic. 707 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: This movie is really what fell unlike anything else that 708 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 1: I've seen in this franchise or any other quote unquote 709 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: zombie movie, which I really don't feel like twenty eight 710 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: years later is really in that same category. While most 711 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: people would say they are zombies, to me, they act 712 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: completely different like anything else from Donna the Dead or 713 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: any other depiction of a zombie. But it's all about 714 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: ray Fine's character trying to understand these creatures and because 715 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: he is a doctor, trying to do something that could 716 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: change his life and everybody else's life. You also have 717 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: Spike returning in this movie, who was the kid in 718 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: the first one, has found himself in the Jimmy Gang 719 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: and is trying to also get out of that really 720 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: bad situation. This movie is less about the infected and 721 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: more about the real enemy, which is humans and how 722 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: humans the need for survival, the need for power, and 723 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: in this one there are really no remnants of the 724 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: world that we know that is completely gone, which in 725 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: twenty eight years later you do get more of that, 726 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 1: you get more of the sense of building a civilization 727 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 1: in this post apocalyptic world, but here it feels like 728 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: an entirely different world that is so far removed from that, 729 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: and the effect it kind of becomes secondary. Which some 730 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: people might say, why am I going to go watch 731 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,479 Speaker 1: a twenty eight years later movie where it's not about 732 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: people being chased down by zombies? And I think it 733 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: was once it really settled into that plot line, probably 734 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: in the second act, maybe even almost an hour into 735 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: the movie, where I wasn't completely convinced that I was 736 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: enjoying it as much as the first one. Once I 737 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: really settled into that idea and realized that this movie 738 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: became something completely different than I was expecting, had so 739 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: much emotional depth, had incredible performances. There was a moment 740 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: in the movie where it just kind of clicked for me, 741 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: where everything started working so well and I could tell 742 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: that this entire story was crafted in a way to 743 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: get you to this point. And Ray Finds did an 744 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: amazing job at portraying this character who I just wanted 745 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: to be friends with. He was so smart and elegant 746 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: in a way that only Ray Finds could be, and 747 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 1: also was able to transform into a completely different person 748 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: where it was even hard for me to believe that 749 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: there was a human being inside there acting like that, 750 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: giving an amazing interpretive dance that was so sinister haired 751 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: with one of the best songs that you could quite 752 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: possibly use in this dance that he was doing, where 753 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: he transcended what it was to be a human being 754 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: on screen and gave something that was so disturbing, probably 755 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: to some because the character he is portraying seems like 756 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: a madman. And you have flames and you have bones. 757 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: This is what Avatar Fire and Nash should have been. 758 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: This is the real Fire and Nash, and that set 759 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: design on its own deserves an award. Seeing that tower 760 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: of all these skulls that he has been cleaning and 761 00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: putting together and the fire, it was just perfect. I 762 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 1: love that scene. And then you also have Jack O'Connell, 763 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: who plays a really good person that you want to hate. 764 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: You hate him so much that you kind of love 765 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: them because you need a good villain like that. You 766 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: need a force inside of a story like this where 767 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: he has no regard for human life, even the people 768 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: who are supposed to be his friends and followers. In 769 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: this movie, he doesn't care about him. His look alone, 770 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: with the blonde hair and the teeth, he was fantastic 771 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: in this, probably still a better villain in Sinners, but 772 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: he is somebody who now I'm really starting to pay 773 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: attention to because the dude brings it when he is 774 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: on the screen. And that is also what sets this 775 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: movie apart. Is the acting is a plus. I mean, 776 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: Ray Finds Alone brings any credibility that you need to 777 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: this franchise. But not only does it get the big 778 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: things right like the acting and the direction and the 779 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: set design, but even things that seem a little bit 780 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: smaller in comparison, from makeup and wardrobe and the score. 781 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: They all come together to create this really great composition 782 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: that has so many different layers to it. And then 783 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 1: you're watching it thinking, I'm just supposed to be watching 784 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: something that is often seeing to some as being a 785 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: lower form of entertainment, and I'm talking about horror, where 786 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: some people just dismiss it for no other reason than 787 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 1: they don't like being scared, or they think a horror 788 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: movie can only convey one emotion. The twenty eight years 789 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: later franchise or twenty eight days later Franchise blows that 790 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 1: out of the water. And I think the only reason 791 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: this is even in the horror genre is because it 792 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: has some scary images because it is associated with zombies. 793 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: But to me, this isn't a traditional horror movie. It 794 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: feels so much more than that because of the message 795 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: of this movie, even just the politics of survival and 796 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: what this would look like if this actually happened today. 797 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: I also want to go see this movie at eleven am. 798 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: It does take a special type of person to go 799 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: see a movie like this so early. That is what 800 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: I love. Though dark theater early in the morning, and 801 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't a super pac theater. I would say maybe 802 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: twelve fifteen other people in there with me. But even 803 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: with that little amount of people for an early showing, 804 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: it was still getting reactions from people. There were moments 805 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: where it was just one or two people. They gasped, 806 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: they clapped, they were excited, and I could only imagine 807 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: how much this movie would have hit more in those 808 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: apexes of the story if I would have seen it 809 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: in a crowdit theater on say a Friday or a 810 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: Saturday night. That is a sign of a good movie 811 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: if it is so good that you have a small 812 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: sample size and there is still somebody bold enough to 813 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: react in that way that tells you this movie is 814 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 1: gonna hit you on an emotional level. Scariness level, not 815 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: so much. There are surprisingly a couple of jump scares 816 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: in there that I maybe hopped up a little bit 817 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: out of my seat. More so it is the level 818 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: of violence and seeing people in situations that make you 819 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: cringe a little bit because of how bloody it is, 820 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: the use of blades and the use of just tearing 821 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: human flesh, and also the infected do run some people down, 822 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: so there is a little bit of that brutality as well, 823 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: but not necessarily a movie that is gonna leave you 824 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: having nightmares, but it will make you feel uncomfortable. I 825 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: don't think I can rank this movie above the original. 826 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: The original to me is still the best, even though 827 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: probably doesn't look the best, is the most low budget, 828 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: but it is what started it all, and with Killy 829 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: and Murphy in that first one, I just feel like 830 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: you can't get better than what started this entire franchise, 831 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: but it is right up there next to that one. 832 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: I ended up enjoying it more than twenty eight years later. 833 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: For The Bone Temple, I give it four point five 834 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: out of five. Human Skulls Tide to head down to 835 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: Movie Mike Trailer park our eighties and nineties action movies 836 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: trying to make a comeback, because after watching this trailer 837 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: for The Wrecking Crew, which stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, 838 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: that is the vibe I'm getting from this movie in 839 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: a good way, because the chemistry between them two seems 840 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: really good in this trailer, and I think that is important. 841 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: You can't just put two big, muscly guys on screen 842 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: together and get a good product. But I think seeing 843 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: them to play half brothers in this it just makes sense. 844 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: It takes place in Hawaii. They fit in perfectly. You 845 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: also have a great director here. I'm hen Manuel Soto, 846 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: who also directed Blue Beetle, which I love that movie. 847 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: I watched it again in the last month. I probably 848 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: revisit that movie now at least once a year. And 849 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: I know it's not everybody's favorite DC movie. I think 850 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: it just came out at the wrong time. Also, for me, 851 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: being Mexican American in that movie means so much to me. 852 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: I've also had on on this podcast talking about that movie. 853 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: So from that interview I left really liking him and 854 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: have now followed him on Instagram and just kept up 855 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: with all the things he has been up to. And 856 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: once I saw this trailer dropped, I was so excited 857 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: that the movie actually look good because I don't just 858 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: like him because he came here. We had a great conversation. 859 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: If the trailer would have looked bad, I would have said, 860 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna talk about that. But I think 861 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm so surprised because he does a really good job 862 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: in Justice trailer of capturing that aesthetic of an eighties 863 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: or nineties action movie with two guys just teaming up 864 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: and taking down bad guys. They play two brothers who 865 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 1: reunite after their father dies, and they're a little bit 866 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: suspicious about it. They say it was a hit and run, 867 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: but they think there is something more to that. They 868 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: are also wanted by the members of the Yakuza gang. 869 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: It is coming out on Prime pretty soon, actually, on 870 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: January twenty eighth. Before I get into more about the 871 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: wrecking crew. Here is just a little bit of the trailer. 872 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: I can't have two guys who look like they steroid 873 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: pancakes for breakfast turning my island into very room detective. 874 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: That is uncalled for. You guess lending this. You want 875 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: to tell me why the Yakuza want you dead, you 876 00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: have to ask them yakuza. That's what that was. He 877 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: blew up my car, I blew up their car and 878 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 1: then it landed on yours. Here's blew up your car again. 879 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: I think it all comes down to chemistry, because I 880 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: think two of them separately could carry a movie, and 881 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: bringing them both together surprisingly works really well. Dave Batista 882 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,879 Speaker 1: is in my top five, if not my top three, 883 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: of favorite wrestlers turned actors because I believe he is 884 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: somebody who has really taken the time to hone in 885 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 1: this craft and has been somebody who has taken roles 886 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: that have pushed the boundaries of what a wrestler turned 887 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: actor really can be where there are several road maps 888 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: laid down before you. When you see people like The Rock, 889 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: when you see people like John Cena, he is somebody 890 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: who I felt has not always chased the money, not 891 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: always chased the biggest roles. Sometimes has taken fairly small 892 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: roles in major movies, but through those roles has shown 893 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: me a lot of different sides of him. And sometimes 894 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: I forget that he is drags in the Guardians of 895 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: the Galaxy movies, which is so comedic, and you forget 896 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: how good he is at having comedic timing. So knowing 897 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: that for Dave Batista pairing him up with Jason Momoa, 898 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: who also has some pretty I don't want to say 899 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 1: great comedic timing, but in this trailer it works really well. 900 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: I enjoyed him in the Minecraft movie, even though that 901 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: was a little bit too over the top, and I 902 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 1: don't really feel to me Jason Momoa has that one 903 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: flagship role. I think back to him on Game of 904 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: Thrones way back in the day, which was my introduction 905 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: to him. His best movie to me is probably the 906 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: first Aquaman, which was really good, but I think the 907 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: fact that those movies got worse and that character kind 908 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: of got worse as it went along that I forget 909 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: how much of an impact and how much money that 910 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: first movie made. But seeing them two together just makes sense. 911 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: The idea to make them have brothers where it's like, 912 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: oh yeah, they kind of look like each other. I 913 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: also just tend to like the look of Amazon movies 914 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: more than I do Netflix movies because I feel like 915 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,919 Speaker 1: all these different services when it comes to their originals, 916 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 1: they have like a different filter on them. Over on 917 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: the Netflix side, they're very bright and orange. Over on 918 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: the Prime Video side, I feel like they have these 919 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: rich blues and greens in this movie. Being set in Hawaii, 920 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 1: even though they filmed a lot of it in New Zealand, 921 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: just has that warm summer day feeling to me. Just 922 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: by the trailer, the water looks really fresh when they're 923 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: out in the ocean. I just want to jump into 924 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: that pool of water, maybe just because I'm so cold 925 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 1: right now and just hate being cold. That I watched 926 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: this trailer and I think of warmer times. But throughout 927 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 1: this trailer, that is what you get. You get there 928 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,959 Speaker 1: back and forth of Batista being a little bit more 929 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: of the serious guy, Jason Momoa being the one who 930 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: is a little bit more comedic. So you have the 931 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 1: two opposites there. They're going to be beating up a 932 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: bunch of people in some shootouts, in some car chases. 933 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: In one scene, Jason Momoa has a laid to his throat. 934 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: He is in a towel and then yells out sword 935 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 1: fight and shakes his wiener at the bad guy. So 936 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: that is the level of comedy you are getting here. 937 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: There is also just a big overarching superhero connection among 938 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: the cast. Like I mentioned, Dave Bautista was Dracks the 939 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: Destroyer in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and the 940 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,279 Speaker 1: Avengers movies. Jason Momoa is Aquaman Jacob Batalon, who was 941 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,800 Speaker 1: ned in the Spider Man movies, which there is another 942 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: one coming out this year. He was also pretty good 943 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: as the friend in Novacane and Modena Backer is also 944 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: in this movie, and she played Vanessa in the Deadpool movies. 945 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: Stephen Root you also heard in that trailer clip that 946 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 1: I played earlier he was Milton in Office Space. So 947 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: a really unique cast that just looks like it's gonna 948 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: work really well together. I love the scene at the 949 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: end of the trailer where they are all riding in 950 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 1: Batista's car and just gets shot up. And ultimately, what 951 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 1: I love about this movie, not just the director, not 952 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: just the cast, is that this feels like a movie 953 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 1: that I'm always searching for when I go home to 954 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,760 Speaker 1: visit my parents because my dad is the hardest person 955 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: to get to sit down and watch a movie. And 956 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: if we do watch a movie, you have to put 957 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: on something that he's not going to fall asleep within 958 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: the first ten to fifteen minutes. And what does it 959 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: take to not put my dad to sleep. You need 960 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: some action, and you need a really easy plot to 961 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: fall along to. You need people also doing kind of 962 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: ridiculous things like Jason Momoa is doing that are almost 963 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: Three Stooges esque, where my dad and I always bonded 964 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,760 Speaker 1: over The Three Stooges even though they were way before 965 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: both of our times, but they would come on Saturdays 966 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 1: and we would just sit there and watch Stooges after 967 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: Stooges episode, and anytime a movie can implicate some of 968 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: that physical humor, has gun violence, has a really easy plot, 969 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: and has two dudes basically just taken down a bunch 970 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 1: of random bad guys. I want to take this movie 971 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,760 Speaker 1: and say, hey, Dad, let's sit down and watch a movie. 972 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 1: Don't think about work or anything else you need to 973 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 1: do around the house for ninety minutes. It's to two hours, 974 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: and we're gonna watch this and you're gonna sit there 975 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 1: and you're gonna like it. But it takes a movie 976 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: like this to convince him that watching a movie is 977 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 1: not a waste of time, because I think that is 978 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: how he sees it. He is a fan of nothing 979 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to movies and TV shows, doesn't even 980 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: watch sports. The only thing he likes is pretty much 981 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: music and working. So if you're like me and you 982 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 1: have a father figure in your life or maybe a 983 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: husband boyfriend, maybe this movie can help you bond like 984 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna help you bond with my dad. But again, 985 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 1: The Wrecking Crew comes out on Prime on January twenty eighth, 986 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: And that was this week's edition of Movie Mike Trailer 987 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: Barr And that is gonna do it for another episode 988 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta 989 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 1: give my listeners shout out of the week. But this 990 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: week I'm shouting out Garrett, who is really adamant on 991 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: me starting Project Hill Mary. Send me a couple of dms. 992 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: Actually here's what he said, get to work on your book, man. 993 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,400 Speaker 1: I just read Project Hill Mary and I love it. 994 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: I recommend getting the large print version and think me later. Seriously, 995 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 1: I need to talk about this book with someone because 996 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 1: I'm the only person I know who has read it 997 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 1: and can't talk about it. So much to talk about 998 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 1: And then he followed up with that maybe a couple 999 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 1: of days later, probably after the last episode where I 1000 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 1: talked about not reading it yet and said, read the book. 1001 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 1: Read the book, stop procrastinating. There are spoilers for the 1002 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 1: book in the trailer, so dumb read the book book 1003 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: emoji rock on hands. I've already seen the trailer. I've 1004 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: talked about the trailer. I even warned people that I 1005 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,359 Speaker 1: knew there were spoilers inside the trailer before I did 1006 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: it in the trailer park, because that is what everybody 1007 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: was saying. But I'm okay with it. I kind of 1008 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 1: already know what is going to happen. It's in the 1009 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 1: back of my brain. I haven't put a whole lot 1010 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 1: of thought into it, but I don't really mind it 1011 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,560 Speaker 1: being spoiled at this point. I don't think it's going 1012 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: to take away from me reading the book. But here's 1013 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,959 Speaker 1: the update on that. I have started reading Project Hill Mayer. 1014 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 1: I am about one fourth of the way through the 1015 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 1: book now, which is huge for me. I am such 1016 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 1: a slow reader where it doesn't feel to me that 1017 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm taking a long time as I'm reading it. I 1018 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 1: just really like to digest all the information. And this 1019 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: book did hook me in from the very beginning. But 1020 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: by the time I finished one chapter, I'm like, how 1021 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: has so much time passed? So I think I'm on 1022 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: the right track. It is not hard for me, now 1023 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 1: that I have started reading the book to pick it 1024 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: back up. Once I was through that first chapter, I 1025 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 1: was so invested. I need to know what happens. There 1026 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: are a lot of scientific terms and ideas in the 1027 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: book that I'm really wrapping my head around. And I 1028 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: think it's because it takes so much time to try 1029 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: to understand it that it takes me longer to read. 1030 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna get there. If i'm a fourth of 1031 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: the way through it now, I'll have no problem finishing 1032 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: it by the time the movie comes out on March twentieth. 1033 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: So thank you, Garrett for that encouragement for me to 1034 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: start the book. I'm happy to report that I'm in 1035 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: it now. I'm not gonna let you down. So thank 1036 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: you for listening, thank you for being subscribed, And until 1037 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: next time, go out and watch good movies and I 1038 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,439 Speaker 1: will talk to you later.
