1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: A little behind the scenes before we start this week's episode.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: When I sit down to do a podcast, I'm basically

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: having to psych myself up to have a conversation with myself.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: And how do I do that. I get my voice voice. See,

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: even there, I'm still getting my voice warm. I have

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: to get my voice warm, so I do my evil laugh,

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: which is also my vegeta laugh if you're a fan

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: of dragon Ball. So this is what I do before

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: I record an episode, and that like opens up my

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: throat a little bit, but that's how I do it. Okay,

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: that is a peak behind the scenes. Hello, and welcome

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: back to movie Mike's movie podcast. If you ever hear

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: me laugh at the beginning, that's why it's because I

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: do that. I am your host Movie Mike. This week,

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the best, worst, and most disappointing DC movies.

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm still writing off the high of Superman, which I'll

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: get into later how I'm getting so much hate for that.

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: In the movie review, I'll be talking about I Know

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: what you did last summer, And in the trailer park

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about weapons that has Josh Brolin in it.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: That is the only trailer I've watched recently that has

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: scared me, like legitimately not expecting to twenty eight years later,

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: trailer freaked me out, but this one got a genuine

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: reaction for me. It looks awesome. Thank you for being here,

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies from the

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike Movie Podcast. You see,

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: That's why I do it. I'm warmed up. I'm ready

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: to go all right, best, worst, and most disappointing DC movies,

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: DC comics as a whole. I feel when I sit

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: down to read comics, my dumb brain tends to enjoy

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Marvel comics more because they are easier to read. But DC,

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I would say, has the more complex stories, the more

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: adult stories. When it comes to the DC titles, I

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: really love. It's the one that are like seventeen plus,

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: which means they have a lot of violence, a lot

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: of blood. And also when it comes to the movies,

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Marvel guy. I always have been since I

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: was a kid. That's why Spider Man is tattooed on

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: my arm. So coming up with this list of the

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: top ten DC movies was actually pretty tough, and it

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: was actually much easier to come up with my worst,

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to do a full on here

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: my ten wordt DC movies. I decided to spread it

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: up and I have my top five worst and my

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: top five disappointing, which I feel are different because some

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: are just so bad. And I would say when it

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: comes to DC, they have the bad of the bad.

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Marvel has bad, but even Marvel's bad is still watchable.

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: DC's bad is not watchable. It's not worth the revisit.

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: But first, let's kick it off with the positive. At

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: number ten, I have Birds of Prey starring Margo Robbie.

53
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: It came out in twenty twenty. It's called Birds of Prey,

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: but also had a really long title when it came out,

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Harley Quinn is the one character that is unlike every

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: other DC character because she did not have a comic

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: book debut. Most comic book character that's where they debut,

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: and then later they are turned into either an animated

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: show or they have their big screen debut. Harley Quinn's

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: first appearance was in nineteen ninety two in Batman, the

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: animated series, in an episode titled Joker's Favor. She was

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: created specifically for that show, not for the comics, but

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: became such a big part of that animated show that

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: she went on to be one of the most memorable

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: DC characters. And I believe that Margot Robbie as Harley

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Quinn is the same scenario as Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: in Marvel as in I do not want to see

69
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: this character recast. If they ever did recast her, I

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: would not accept that person because I think there are

71
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: some actors who were just destined to play certain characters

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: who embodied them so much that I could not see

73
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: anybody else doing it but them. And Margot Robbie as

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Harley Quinn is that. And the reason I believe that

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: this movie wasn't as big of a hit as it

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: needed to be one because it came out in February

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, so that obviously hurt the movie. Also,

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: that really long title. Whenever I went to go see

79
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: it in theaters, I remember them abbreviating it no matter what,

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: and even if you just shorten it to birds of Prey,

81
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: you still don't really know what that is, not that

82
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: you're going fully blind to a movie theater, like, oh,

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: I wonder what I should watch today? Birds of Prey

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: have no idea, but still that at some level of confusion,

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: And anytime you add any level of confusion to something

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: meant for the masses, it's gonna hurt you a little bit.

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: So the really long title, even though it was an

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: artistic choice, they should have just called that movie Harley

89
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Quinn and I feel like it would have resonated a

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: little bit more. But the actual movie, I believe, was fantastic.

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: It had some great action, it had a great story.

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought it really captured the chaotic, just nature of

93
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: her character, how rebellious she is. It was also rated R,

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: which I think d C has leaned more into overall,

95
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: and is really where they have the edge over Marvel

96
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: is their willingness to put out movies that it's gonna

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: limit the audience a little bit because it's our rated,

98
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: not going to be appealing to kids, even though I

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of kids end up watching these

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: movies anyway. But like I was mentioning earlier, with the

101
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: more adult themed graphic novels and comics. I think that's

102
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: what d C does really well, and the titles that

103
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: really excite me as we're going to see on this list.

104
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: So I really believe that this movie came out at

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: the wrong time. If it would have came out last

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: year or even this year, with what DC is doing

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: with our new slate, I think it would have had

108
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: a much better chance at success. Still, a really fantastic

109
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: movie just did not get its fair shake at the

110
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: box office. So at number ten, I have Birds of

111
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Prey at number eight. I'm going to be so biased

112
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: here and this is gonna be the one that people

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: don't agree with the most, but I still believe in

114
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: my heart of hearts. Also, it's one of the most

115
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: watched DC movies for me as far as saw it

116
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: twice in theaters, have seen it multiple times at home

117
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: on streaming. It is twenty twenty three's Blue Beetle I

118
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Love Cholo made Duena as Jim Reis, and it's because

119
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: it was the first time I watched a superhero comic

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: book movie where I saw myself in a character, where

121
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: I saw members of my family. His dad feels so

122
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: much like my dad, his uncle feels a lot like

123
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: not my uncle, but more like my brother. I love

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: that this movie committed to the use of Spanish. I

125
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: love the music and the references to our culture. You

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: have these characters talking about things that I've only talked

127
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: about with my immediate family and my cousins. So it

128
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: brought a much needed representation to the big screen. And

129
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: overall is a great and slightly different origin story than

130
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: what we've been getting time and time again. But overall,

131
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I still love this movie. And if there's one character

132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: I hope that James Gunn continues to use because I

133
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: think he's gonna keep using Harley Quinn. They've worked together before.

134
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I think that will happen. But the one character I

135
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: feel kind of hangs at the balance is Chilama Dee

136
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Duina as Blue Beetle. I know they are going to

137
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: do an animated Blue Beatle show, but I want to

138
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: see him come back into another DC project. With all

139
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: they have coming out, which is a lot. So at

140
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: number nine I have Blue Beetle from twenty twenty three,

141
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: and at number eight I have twenty seventeen's Wonder Woman.

142
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: It is astounding to believe when you look at the

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: history of DC. It took until twenty fourteen for Wonder

144
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Woman just to get her debut in a theatrical movie,

145
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and it was borderline cameo because it came to us

146
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen's The Lego Movie, and then made her

147
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: live action debut in twenty six teens Batman Versus Superman.

148
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Then it wasn't until twenty seventeen that we got our

149
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: first female led superhero movie with gal Gado as Wonder Woman,

150
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: which man, I keep seeing her get dragged on TikTok

151
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: so much for her acting. But I don't think we

152
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: were saying that back when Wonder Woman first came out,

153
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: because this movie was so groundbreaking and long overdue. Much

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: like some of the other movies on this list, I

155
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: think at that time, Diana was the hero that we

156
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: needed when that was strong, compassionate, and overall just inspiring.

157
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Had a really awesome theme, which I still think is

158
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: one of the best themes in DC. But the movie

159
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: came out and became the highest grossing female superhero movie

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: and the highest grossing live action movie by a female director.

161
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to Patty Jenkins at number eight. I have

162
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: wonder Woman. Wonder Woman at number seven from twenty twenty one,

163
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: I have the Yes, I said the Suicide Squad directed

164
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: by James Gunn again, See, has always just had issues

165
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: with confusion and audiences just being like, wait, what who's

166
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: part of this? Where does this go? And the fact

167
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that we had already had a Suicide Squad movie. When

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: this movie rolled out in twenty one, people were confused

169
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: because it was like, are they remaking Suicide Squad? Well,

170
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: it's like no, it's a different director, it's James Gunn now,

171
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: and it's all different characters. But there's also some characters

172
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: from that because you have Harley Quinn again, but everybody

173
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: else is new. But what this movie showed me, and

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: now what Superman has showed me, is James Gunn can

175
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: take something that was crap, that was burnt pieces of

176
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: rubble and build art out of it. Because this movie

177
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: was so hymn. It was so bright and colorful. And

178
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: now as we see more of his work, we are

179
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: starting to see more of his calling cards and more

180
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: of his signature style, whether it's animals, whether it's big

181
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: cosmic colors, whether it's giant monsters ripping through cities that

182
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: are bare cartoonish and comic book like and out of

183
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: this world, and things you would never imagine to see

184
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: in a movie of this scale. And he did also

185
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: with an R rating, which again I love the R

186
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: rated movies in the superhero world because you can get

187
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: real violence, you can get characters with guns. Not so

188
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: much for the cursing. I don't really feel like that

189
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: adds a whole lot to me, Like I don't go

190
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: watch an R rated movie thinking, man, I really hope

191
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: they say the F word at least seventeen times in

192
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: this I just feel like it ads another level of authenticity.

193
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: When you see characters bloody, when you see some characters

194
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: die in the case of the Suicide Squad, you see

195
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot of brutal debts, people having exploding parts, heads popping,

196
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot of wild things that you would never imagine

197
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: to see on a movie of this scale. It was

198
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: also oddly emotional, and I think about James Gunn. He

199
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: can make you feel emotions for characters that are inanimate objects,

200
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: that are animals like King Shark. Oh man, there's a

201
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: moment in King Shark where I fell for him so much,

202
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: and I had to question myself after watching this movie,

203
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: like why was I so invested in a giant shark

204
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: who barely even spoke words. So whether it's that, whether

205
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: it's a giant tree who only says his name, those

206
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: are the calling cards of James Gunn and I'm more

207
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: excited to see what he does with other characters as

208
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: he builds out this DC universe. So this movie was

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: critically loved. I loved it, but again another movie that

210
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: was financially hurt by COVID, And this was at a

211
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: time where HBO Max was putting out movies in theaters

212
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: but also on Max at the same time, so that

213
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: really hurt this movie as well because it cost one

214
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five million dollars to make and only

215
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: made one hundred and sixty eight point seven million dollars.

216
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: So you see that. I'm glad they're not on that

217
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: model anymore. And as we can see through Justice Year alone,

218
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: that when movies come out in theaters and people really

219
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: want to see them, they show up. For a while

220
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: there in twenty one and twenty two, I started to think, Man,

221
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: are people just not going to go back to the theater?

222
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: Have we become so used to having everything at home

223
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: that that experience is just gonna go Away. I was

224
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: worried there for a bit, but it turns out we

225
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: just needed better movies because this year is still on

226
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: pace for me to be the best movie year since

227
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. But at number seven, I have The Suicide Squad.

228
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: At number six, I have The Batman from twenty twenty two.

229
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: This was the detective side of Batman that we had

230
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: never seen before, because we've seen every other iteration. We've

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: seen the dark, campy Batman with Tim Burton, we had

232
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: seen Batman with nipples, We've seen really bad Batman's up

233
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: to this point, but this was darker and grittier, even

234
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: darker and grittier than Christopher Nolan's Batman. But that was

235
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: one of the things that they never really leaned into,

236
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: that Batman is not only great at fighting villains, but

237
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: he's also really smart and a great detective. And I

238
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: just remember being so engulfed in flames and rain and

239
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: car chases during this movie that I literally felt my

240
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: brain changing as I was watching something that I knew

241
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: was going to really resonate with me and change me

242
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: as a person. And it's so hard for a movie

243
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: to do that. But I remember turning over to Kelsey

244
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: at the moment between the chase between Batman and the

245
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: penguin and saying, this is such a good movie. I

246
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: love this so much. And Matt Reeves has been working

247
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: on The Batman two now for so long. It looks

248
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: like we are going to get it at some point

249
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. I'm not even looking at that day

250
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: because we were supposed to get it this year. Twenty

251
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty five is the year where we're supposed to get

252
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: this sequel. But apparently he has sent the script to

253
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: James Gunn, who he received that script on the week

254
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: that Superman came out and didn't have time to read it.

255
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Could you imagine getting the script to The Batman two

256
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: and just being like, I'm not gonna get to that

257
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: right now. I'll read that later. But it's only because

258
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: you're so busy talking about your biggest movie right now

259
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: with Superman. But man, I just hope that Robert Pattinson

260
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: isn't going to get a little bit too old and

261
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: not be able to play the Batman anymore. Paul Dana

262
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: was also fantastic as the Riddler. Everything about this movie

263
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: was great. I hope they lean even more into the

264
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: r rating at number five. This is where I'm putting

265
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Superman twenty twenty five. This is where the new era starts.

266
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: I think I easily could have been so much influenced

267
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: by recency bias and put this movie even higher. But

268
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: then I started to look at the movies that I've

269
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: been a fan of for so long, movies that have

270
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: really shaped DC and again not even focusing on DC

271
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: as a universe, but even before we even knew what

272
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: a movie universe was, there were really memorable movies that

273
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: I believe are so much better than Superman twenty twenty five.

274
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Even though it's really all I can think about right now,

275
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I get on TikTok and I can just watch anybody

276
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: break down the movie, people talking about their favorite moments,

277
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: and I think this movie has just brought a lot

278
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: of hope for people. And you start thinking about all

279
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the things going on in the world where people struggling,

280
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: people just trying to put food on the table, and

281
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: all that kind of goes away when you go watch

282
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: a movie like Superman and you can see people just

283
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: being united, at least most people, not the people ripping

284
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: me for loving this movie and feeling like James Gunn

285
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: has done a disservice to Superman. But the people who

286
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: just went and found hope in this movie, and we've

287
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: all just kind of come together around this character, and

288
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: I think that is what we've needed. That is what

289
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: a superhero does in the fictional movie world, but also

290
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: what they can do in the real world by us

291
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: watching these movies. So this movie was inspiring to me,

292
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: so I feel really good about it. At five. I

293
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: also think that maybe a sequel could rank higher once

294
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: we have more moving parts here of people who can

295
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: appear in a Superman movie. I feel like we could

296
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: get another top five entry that's only to come. So

297
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: at number five, I have Superman from twenty twenty five.

298
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: At number four, I have the OG nineteen eighty nine's Batman.

299
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: And at the time this movie was darker because Batman

300
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: up until nineteen eighty nine had this campier feel to

301
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: him with the TV show and the Boom Pals and

302
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Adam West dancing, and it was Tim Burton who put

303
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: his dark, quirky style on it. And to think that

304
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: at that time this was seen as the dark Batman,

305
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: like this is gritty, this is real life, And looking

306
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: back on it now, it does feel a little bit

307
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: more fantasy, and the character has only gotten darker and

308
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: darker with every decade of us wanting more blood and

309
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: head bashing. Could they ever get too dark? That's the question.

310
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: But at number four I have the Og Michael Keaton,

311
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: who I believe is the best overall Batman, being that

312
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: both of his parts are up there with a high

313
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: rating number of him as Bruce Wayne and also hit

314
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: as Batman, fantastic suit, fantastic batmobile, great villain with the Joker.

315
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: At number four, I have Batman from nineteen eighty nine

316
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: getting into the top three. Now at number three, I

317
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: have Joker from twenty nineteen. This movie was so bold,

318
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: and this came out and there were headlines about this

319
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: movie of how dark it was. And again we keep

320
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: going darker and darker. This is almost as dark as

321
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: you can go, because really, at its core, Todd Phillips

322
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: didn't create a comic book movie. He made a movie

323
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: much like Taxi Driver, much like King of Comedy. Basically

324
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: was inspired by those two movies and made a movie

325
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: about a guy just descending into madness, inciting a riot,

326
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: being a wanted criminal, doing heinous things, having no remorse

327
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: for any of it. And he did it with some

328
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: clown makeup to fit into this universe, because really, any

329
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: connection that this has to Batman as a whole, you

330
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: could argue that all that is in his head and

331
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: it really has no connection to Gotham or to anything.

332
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: And I think that is why I enjoyed this movie

333
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: so much, is because it just felt like a character study.

334
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: And this really just haunting villain origin story, the best

335
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: we've ever had. It really addressed mental illness, class division, identity,

336
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: just struggling to feel like you belong, also struggling with

337
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: a medical condition. And I know Martin Scorsese has come

338
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: out and said that he hates superhero movies. He doesn't

339
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: consider them to be cinema, but this was the most

340
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Scorsese type movie you could get. If Scorsese was to

341
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: make a superhero movie, this is the type he would make.

342
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: But think about what a DC version of Goodfellas would be.

343
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: That would be a great movie, but it would also

344
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: be three and a half hours long and cost two

345
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars, because that's the only type

346
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: of movie that Scorsese can do. But at number three,

347
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: I have Joker from twenty nineteen at number two. I

348
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: have Batman Returns from nineteen ninety two, another entry from

349
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: Tim Burton in the top five. This was my Batman

350
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: movie of my childhood, and this was really where Tim

351
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: Burton leaned more into making a Batman movie that was him,

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: because I think with the first one he was just

353
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to make a movie for the studio, give a

354
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: little bit of his style, but really just make them happy.

355
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: If that was proven to be successful, he could go

356
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: on to make the movie he really wanted to make.

357
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: It was much more gothic and weird. I think to

358
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 1: a point they didn't even like that part of it

359
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: because with the first one it was such a big

360
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: hit that they were able to sell so many Batman

361
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: toys and merchandise to kids, and then you have this

362
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: one that at times has more adult themes. I mean,

363
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: I felt ways about Catwoman that I probably should not

364
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: have felt as a kid, had this awakening when watching

365
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: Michelle Pfeiffer, and they had a hard time marketing this movie.

366
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I believe they struggle even getting the toys in the

367
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: happy meals once the movie came out that parents started revolting.

368
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: But looking back on it now, man how punk rock

369
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: was this movie. Danny DeVito is Penguin. It had some real,

370
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: just tragic moments in it, but also that dark comic

371
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: book flair. This movie defined my childhood, submited my love

372
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: for Batman, who is one of my top five superheroes

373
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: of all time. At number two, I have Batman Returns

374
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety two, but at number one, again, DC

375
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: is so Superman and Batman heavy. It goes to the

376
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: Dark Knight. It's the gold standard. I probably talk way

377
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: too much about this movie because not only do I

378
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: believe it is the best DC movie of all time,

379
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: it is one of my top five movies of all time.

380
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: And I think now in twenty twenty five, I may

381
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: have to readdress my top ten movie list of all

382
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: time only because so many great things have come out

383
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: in the last two to three years. I feel like

384
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: some of those fives I've given out to work their

385
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: way up into that top five. But it's because not

386
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: only is this just a great DC movie, not only

387
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: is it just a great superhero movie, It's just a

388
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: great movie period. No matter what. You can't watch this

389
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: movie and say that's a bad movie, that's not good.

390
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: You could say it's not for me, which is fine.

391
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: Not everybody likes comic book movies. Not everybody buys into

392
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: the idea, like some millionaire just dresses up like a

393
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: bad guy and goes around fighting crime, Like how does

394
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: that even work? He doesn't really have superpowers? Like that

395
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: is fine if it's just not for you. But you

396
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: cannot watch The Dark Knight and say that is a

397
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: bad movie. And I'll die on that hill. All right,

398
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: Let's get to now what I believe to be the

399
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: top five worst DC movies of all time and number

400
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: five twenty sixteen's Suicide Squad. I wasn't even that excited

401
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: going into this movie, and I think it's because this

402
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: was the first time we saw somebody played the Joker

403
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: that wasn't Heath Ledger. And what Jared Leto did with

404
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: the Joker and the tattoos and the ha ha has

405
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: and the green hair, tried to make them like a

406
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: punk rocker, tried to make them so weird, really leaned

407
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: into that reveal being so significant, and it just wasn't.

408
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: It was just so bad. It was frustrating. It was

409
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: a production nightmare has one of the worst line deliveries

410
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: of all time. Like I love when characters say the

411
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: title of a movie in a movie, but Will Smith

412
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: saying what are we some kind of suicide squad? That's

413
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: just terrible writing overall, just a bad movie. At number four,

414
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: I have Aquaman in the Lost Kingdom from twenty twenty three.

415
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: I found it surprising that the first Aquaman was as

416
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: successful as it was internationally. He did really well. I

417
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: just never really got the Aquaman character, and I think

418
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: when you do look at DC and see some of

419
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: these characters that have been around for so long, since

420
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: since the forties, since the fifties, Aquaman just seems so

421
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: old school. But I think Jason Momoa does bring a

422
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: modernist to the character. And even though he does the

423
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: character really well, I could see them recasting Aquaman if

424
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: they ever decide to use them again. But I feel

425
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: like after this movie they are done with it. It

426
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: still performed decently, but the writing in Aquaman and the

427
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Lost Kingdom was so bad. The acting was bad, the

428
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: story was terrible, the CGI was atrocious. I feel like

429
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these actors just did it for the payday.

430
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: There was no saving grace from this movie. There was

431
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: never a moment that it shined. All the action was terrible.

432
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: The only good thing I can say about it is

433
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: the underwater stuff was still unique to it, and aside

434
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: from that, that was it. This movie sank. It was bad.

435
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Don't go revisit it. If you never saw it, don't

436
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: watch it. Just go watch Aquaman one at number three,

437
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I have twenty eleven's The Green Lantern. If you talk

438
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: about or CGI, this one probably has the worst CGI.

439
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: If you look at the suit transformations, like just those

440
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: scenes alone, because that's the only thing worthy of going

441
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: back and watching. Is bad. CG all around looks terrible.

442
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: I would say at the time, Ryan Reynolds really wasn't

443
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: ready for this. Even though he was an established actor,

444
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: he wasn't as good as he needed to be to

445
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: make a better movie out of the script, to make

446
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: a better movie out of all the technology failures that

447
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: this movie was riddled with. It was totally confusing. Ryan

448
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Reynolds now just famously makes fun of the film. It

449
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: is just on that level of bad movie that the

450
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: only good thing you can say about it is it's

451
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: fun to make fun of it. Wasted this character for

452
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: a very long time up until now, and I feel

453
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: like for a lot of people, they're just like, I

454
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: don't care about the Green Lantern anymore, maybe until now

455
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: when James Gunn created a different version of the character

456
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: and fixed it, and Ryan Reynolds went on to be

457
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: all right at least in the movies personal life. Maybe

458
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: not at number two. I have Joker, fully, I do

459
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: from last year. I think it's because Todd Phillips hated

460
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: what happened with Joker won as far as the people

461
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: who resonated with it. I think he feels like he

462
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: created a monster. Maybe he didn't like some of those

463
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: stories that came out, some of the controversy it did

464
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: created that he decided to have a total departure from

465
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: that and really take the wind out of the sales

466
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: for this character. Because that is exactly what he did.

467
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: And why this movie is not number one is because

468
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: I do believe still that he made the movie he

469
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: wanted to make. Whenever it was announced that it was

470
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: going to be a musical, I was like, let's hear

471
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: him out, guys. He has to have a reason to

472
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: do this. And then all the details that came out

473
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: of it just kept getting worse and worse. Not only

474
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: is it a musical, it's a joke box musical. It

475
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: just didn't even feel like the character anymore. Of the

476
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: story was just so felt like a really bad high

477
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: school play. There were some good uses of cinematography that

478
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: had me gripping to that trailer and just wanting to

479
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: find something good in it, but overall the movie just

480
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: was not good, downright bad, downright cringey. At times, I've

481
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: never wanted to leave a movie more that I ended

482
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: up not leaving. But again, don't even watch this movie

483
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: on streaming if you haven't yet. It will make you

484
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: want to vomit just a little bit. But that's at

485
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: number two, because that number one not only one of

486
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the worst DC movies of all time or superhero movies,

487
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: just one of the worst movies of all time. Catwoman

488
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: from two thousand and four, And to think that there

489
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: were plans to make a Catwoman movie after Batman returns

490
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: with Michelle Pfeiffer, even that last scene they put in

491
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: the movie where you see her head turn with the

492
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: moon really big and bright, showing you that, oh, maybe

493
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna bring this character back, there was discussions of

494
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: making a Catwoman movie then obviously never saw the light

495
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: of day. To think we went from that to getting

496
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: halle Berry playing basketball the movie. This destroyed her reputation

497
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: at the time, even though again she's fine. The only

498
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: good thing to come out of this movie is that

499
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: Hallie Berry was accepting of how bad it was. She

500
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: is one of the only actors on her level who

501
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: actually have accepted a Razzie, which I think now her

502
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: and Dakota Johnson have bonded over that honor of them

503
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: both being in superhero movies and winning Razzies for it.

504
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: And I remember that I got this movie on an

505
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: illegally burned DVD from a flea market in Mexico, and

506
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: I thought they ripped me off. I was like, they

507
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: gave me a burn dvdal the wrong movie. They probably

508
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: filmed this thing in their backyard. Lo and behold, it

509
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: was actually the real movie. So I was like, maybe

510
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: because I'm watching this in Spanish that it's so bad. No,

511
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: this movie is just really that bad. At number one,

512
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: I have Catwoman to close up this episode, I have

513
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: my top five disappointments, and I don't consider these to

514
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: be bad. I was just overall dis pointed because I

515
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: was actually excited about these. At number five, I have

516
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four because one was so good.

517
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: This one just didn't pack that same punch. And again,

518
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: this was when HBO Max was putting out movies. This

519
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: one didn't even come out in theaters or maybe in

520
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: very few select theaters because it was late twenty twenty.

521
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: So the only good thing I can say about it

522
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: was that Kelsey and I watched it at home and

523
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, just nice to get a new

524
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: movie in twenty twenty. But that's at number five. At

525
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: number four, it was Justice League from twenty seventeen. That

526
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: movie just felt rushed. It was fine, we got Wonder

527
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Woman in there. The Flash felt cool at that time.

528
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen. The Zack Snyder cut is still better.

529
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: But even that, I just kind of lose grasp on

530
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: what that project exactly was going or should have been.

531
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: It just felt like they were trying to compete with

532
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: the Avengers and rushed with making a Justice League movie.

533
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully, in James Gunn's world, we're still I would

534
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: say a decade away from that, because we have a

535
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: lot of characters we need to build up before that.

536
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: At number three, Batman Versus Superman Gone of Justice in

537
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, This was the first time on the big

538
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: screen we were getting Batman and Superman in the same film.

539
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: But this movie was so boring, so boring. I had

540
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: to fight to stay awake through this movie. And again,

541
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: this was DC just trying to do what Marvel was

542
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: doing with Civil War having Captain America fight Iron Man.

543
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: They're like, we gotta make our two biggest characters fight

544
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: each other. How do you put Batman in Superman in

545
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: the same movie and have it be this boring by

546
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: including these unnecessary details about Bruce Wayne and the whole

547
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: thing just looking like a mess. To waste what I

548
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: would say is one of the better Batman suits, Like

549
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: I love chunky Batman, like big bulky, like oversized, I

550
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: love big Batman with the fat logo. To completely waste that.

551
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: Henry Cavill has just been misused. Man of Steel was good,

552
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: but in every other project he was just like, man,

553
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: why are they doing this to you? Man? Why he's

554
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: been ripped off so much in movies? Speaking of Henry

555
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Cavill getting ripped off at number two, I have Black

556
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: Adhaim I was so high going into this movie, such

557
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: a cool looking character. I was still a huge fan

558
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: of the Rock and how much he was promoting this

559
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: movie on Instagram, just making it look cool. But the

560
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: Rock sunk like a boulder. The rock in this movie

561
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: was acting like a rock, Like that's his range. He

562
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: can act like a rock, he can act like a boulder,

563
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: sometimes act like a pebble. But his character was just

564
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: so one dimensional, had no depth to him. And I

565
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: feel like you wrote in this contract that he wanted

566
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: to look cool at all times. He didn't want to

567
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: struggle here, and the movie suffered for it. And they

568
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: brought back Henry Cavell for this movie and wasted him.

569
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: And now not even part of DC anymore. He left

570
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: his job on the Witcher. Yeah, he lost his He

571
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: lost his job because of the Rock. The movie was

572
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: so disappointing, But at number one. The biggest disappointment in

573
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: DC was The Flash in twenty twenty three. Like I

574
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, Michael Keaton is the best Batman. They

575
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: brought back the best Batman and they wasted in. This

576
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: movie had me hype from the trailer, like Batman saying

577
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: the famous line, Let's get nuts. And this movie just

578
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: made no sense. They just threw in random cameos because

579
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Marvel again was having so much success with the Multiverse,

580
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: they thought, let's do that too. Marvel just set all

581
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: these records with no Way Home. Let's have row no

582
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: Way Home. The biggest disappointment based on how hiphe I

583
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: was going into it up until I sat my butt

584
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: in that theater. This is movie I genuinely thought was

585
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: going to be good. I had no reason to hate it,

586
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: but I did. At Number one is the flash come back.

587
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I'll get my spoiler free movie review of I Know

588
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: What You Did Last Summer. Let's get into it now,

589
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: a spoiler free movie of I Know What You Did

590
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Last Summer. This movie is both a sequel and a

591
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: reboot to the original one from nineteen ninety seven. I

592
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: really think the franchise that did this best was Stream

593
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. They're the ones who kind of

594
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: coin that term of requel where they continue the storyline

595
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: from the original, but then bring in a whole new

596
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: cast of characters. And let me say, even before I

597
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: watched this movie, I thought, how are they even going

598
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: to remotely make this movie make sense? Given that just

599
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: by watching the trailer you know that the exact same

600
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: thing happens to this new group of kids that happened

601
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: to them in the original What are the odds? Because

602
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: that's what this movie is also about. Five friends cause

603
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: a car accident, they make a pack to cover it up.

604
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: Next summer rolls around, they get a handwritten note I

605
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: know which it did last summer, and then they have

606
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: to bring in the help of some of the original

607
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: cast members from the movie from nineteen ninety seven, Freddie

608
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: Prinze Junior and Jennifer love Hewitt. But you have a

609
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: bunch of new fresh blood in this one. So just

610
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: going into it, I thought, how are they going to

611
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: make this happen again? How are they going to make

612
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: it make sense? Because it's a whole lot different than

613
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: when Scream does it, Because Scream, that person can be anybody.

614
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: But I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I

615
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: went into this movie with a pretty open mind, knowing

616
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be anything super incomplex. But I

617
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: think what I liked about Scream and the way they

618
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: did it is they made it a little bit more

619
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: sinister in those ghost Face was a little bit more menacing.

620
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: They aged the mask a little bit. Going into that,

621
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: I felt like I was going to watch a little

622
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: bit more of a brutal slasher than the ones that

623
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: were so famous in the late nineties and early two thousands.

624
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: But what I got, and I know what you did

625
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: last summer, it just wasn't it. And I think it's

626
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: because of the acting. I know that horror movies like

627
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: this slashers are always infuriating because you're like, why are

628
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: you doing this? Why are you so dumb? But if

629
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: you didn't have dumb characters in a slasher movie like this,

630
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: nothing would happen. They wouldn't wonder off by themselves, they

631
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't go hang out with sketchy people. So I understood that.

632
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just the dumb things they did in

633
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: regards to what got them killed and what got some

634
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: of these characters killed. It was just overall of their

635
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: interactions and the dialogue just felt so watered down. The

636
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: only performances I really like were Freddie Prince Junior and

637
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Jennifer love Hewitt, because I think they were the best actors.

638
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because they had more experience with the franchise,

639
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: they knew how to play it a little bit more.

640
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: By the way, they both look fantastic when they were

641
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: on screen. I was invested in. I would have just

642
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: watched them two together, And I get you need teenagers,

643
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: or in this case, they have them a little bit older.

644
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: They're in college. You need younger people to make a

645
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: story like this work. But I just would have watched

646
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: them to get back together and have to deal with

647
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: this killer again, maybe something more like a Halloween, like

648
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: how Jamie Lee Curtis keeps returning. I would have been

649
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: more invested in that. Because everybody in the cast was

650
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: so insufferable that I wasn't rooting for them to live.

651
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: I wanted everybody to die. Like whenever The Fishermen was

652
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: on screen, I was like, take them all out because

653
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: I cannot stand any one of these people. And I

654
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: even think it's the way they are trying to keep

655
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: this secret that had so much more weight to it

656
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: in the original, like their initial pack, it felt a

657
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: little bit more realistic. In this movie. Nothing made sense,

658
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: there were no consequences, nobody was questioning anything. The adults

659
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: in this movie were also just as insufferable, So it's

660
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: not just the younger cast, it's everybody in Southport has

661
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: zero brain cells. The kills themselves were the only things

662
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: I felt improved from the original one, although in this

663
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: case it's really hard to take the killer seriously because

664
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: in the first movie you still believe that it's just

665
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: a regular person, but in this one, the killer almost

666
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: has supernatural abilities. They kind of have a Michael Meyer's

667
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: essence to them, where they're attacking one minute and then

668
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: the next minute they run away and they're gone, So

669
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: it's harder to believe that there's actually a person behind

670
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: this and not somebody supernatural. That part I didn't like,

671
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: because it almost felt like the person underneath it was

672
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: just the shape. It felt just more generic horror movie

673
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: that that didn't quite work for me. I even rewatched

674
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: the original movie going into this one, just because I

675
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: wanted to remember all the lore, and I was reminded

676
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: of how much I rooted for Julie, how much I

677
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: rooted for Rey, just how much chemistry all those actors

678
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: had in that original, which was what made that movie significant,

679
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 1: which is what made that movie get a sequel. This one.

680
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: I never want to see any of these people ever again.

681
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: And I think Madeline Klein is a good actor. I

682
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: enjoy her in Outer Banks, but this role just wasn't it.

683
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: I think just the way they decided to write her

684
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: character just didn't really make you care about her. Her

685
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: actions did not make sense because one thing happened and

686
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: the next moment she forgets about it. Her character just

687
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: didn't learn anything, and you're like, come on, just get

688
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: with it. And just the interactions between her and everybody

689
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: else was so forced. And they also made it a

690
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: point to just give you all this information at the

691
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: very beginning, to tell you all the dynamics between everybody,

692
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: to not show you their backstories, but deliberately tell you

693
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: everybody's backstories and everybody's relationship when it goes from when

694
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: the accident first happens to then we jump forward a

695
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: year after, just like it did in the original movie.

696
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: They're just telling you all this information to try to

697
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: get the story going, to try to get to the killing.

698
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: It just really felt like they were juicing an onion

699
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: by the end of the movie. And even though I

700
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of good things to say

701
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: about this movie, for some reason, it was still entertaining.

702
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: For some reason, I still needed to sit there in

703
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: that theater till the very end to find out how

704
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: this thing was going to wrap up, to find out

705
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: who was going to be behind it in the end

706
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: and to find out whether or not it was actually

707
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: worth my time. Just barely was this movie worth my time?

708
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to see them continue on which whenever

709
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: I saw Scream in twenty twenty two, I was already

710
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: for the next one after that one, because I started

711
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: to feel like, Okay, they did a good job at

712
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: rebooting this and also making a sequel, And I just

713
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: think that I Know What You Did last Summer fan

714
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: base just isn't quite as strong as anything else in

715
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: the horror genre. When you want to start pulling out

716
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: movies that people feel nostalgic for, I don't think there's

717
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: that much nostalgia here because the killer themselves is not

718
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: that interesting. The look of the character is not that interesting.

719
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: I can't really buy into the hook as being one

720
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: of the best horror weapons of all time. This suit

721
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: itself just isn't that memorable when you're starting to put

722
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: people up there like Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Chucky, like

723
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: all those great people from Slashers. Not even the best

724
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: I Know What You Did last Summer movie comes close

725
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: to one of the worst movies from those franchises. And

726
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: I think that is saying a lot, because there are

727
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: some bad Halloween movies, there are some bad Friday the

728
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: Thirteenth movies. It just felt like they were really justing

729
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: on that nostalgia. They even make a point in the

730
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: movie to call out nostalgia, and I love nostalgia. Look

731
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: at this room around me right now. I live in nostalgia.

732
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: Nostalgia will probably at some point in my life be

733
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the death of me. But it just didn't really bring

734
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: back any feelings from when I watched the original. They

735
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: tried to make all of Madeline Klein's fashion statements as

736
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: impactful as Sarah Michelle Geller's fashion statements. They tried with

737
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: the cool cars, they tried with the romantic scenes. They

738
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: tried with the blood, they tried with the guts, they

739
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: tried with the action, but they did not capture the

740
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: original energy of nineteen ninety seven's I Know What You

741
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: Did Last Summer. The only thing that even made me

742
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: want to go see this movie was the fact that

743
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: Jennifer Love Hewitt was in it, and I'm glad she

744
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: was because if she wasn't, this movie would have been

745
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: a total snooze fest for I Know What You Did

746
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Last Summer twenty twenty five. I give it two out

747
00:39:54,360 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: of five hooks. It's time to head down to movie

748
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Mike Trailer, Paul. When the trailer for Weapons first came out,

749
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: it had my curiosity, But now that I've seen the

750
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: second trailer and really dove into it, now it has

751
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: my attention. This movie looks like it could be pretty good.

752
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: It's from the same director who did Barbarian, that Kreger,

753
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: which if you haven't seen Barbarian, I would say it

754
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: is one of the most dynamic horror movies of the

755
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: last three years. Because it came out in twenty twenty two,

756
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: is available on Netflix now, and it was a movie

757
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: that a bunch of people told me, you gotta see Barbarian,

758
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: you gotta see Barbarian, and I watched it. I thought

759
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a movie I would completely love

760
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: because I love that style of horror movie. It's not

761
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: exactly what I was expecting, not your traditional horror movie,

762
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: but it has some great visuals, has a lot of

763
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: social commentary inside of it, so it's almost a horror

764
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: movie disguising itself just a little bit, which I kind

765
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: of think is going to be the case here with weapons.

766
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: I think that is Zach Craiger style. There's a lot

767
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: of interesting history with this movie. Another really famous director

768
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: wanted the rights this movie, lost out on it and

769
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: fired his staff because of it. But the movie stars

770
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: Josh Brolin, who I love, and we'll get into how

771
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: he was kind of broke for a vast majority of

772
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: his career. A really famous movie of his came out

773
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: while he was broke. Julia Garner, who you might remember

774
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: from Ozark. You also have Olden ahren Reich, who you

775
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: might remember from the Hans Solo movie. He was also

776
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: just in Ironheart, which I've been hesitant to say that

777
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of Ironheart. Well, maybe not

778
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: a big fan, but it was a lot better than

779
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: I was expecting, mainly because I haven't been that into

780
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: all the Marvel Disney plus shows all those people in

781
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: this movie. Even though the trailer says this is based

782
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: on a true story, it's not based on a true story,

783
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: but essentially, a bunch of kids leave their homes in

784
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, nobody forces them, they go

785
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: somewhere they can't find them, and then all the parents

786
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: in the town are riled up because they all have

787
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: a connection to one teacher's classroom, who is Julia Gardner's classroom,

788
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: and they want answers. So before I get into more

789
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: about weapons, here's just a little bit of the trailer.

790
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: We're talking about seventeen kids and one classroom. I want

791
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: to know what happened in that classroom. This is a

792
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: true story that happened right here in my tongue. A

793
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: lot of people die in a lot of really weird

794
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: ways in the story, but you're not going to find

795
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: it in the newsroom. Those kids walked out of those homes.

796
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: No one pulled them out. I'm want divorced them. What

797
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 1: do you see that? I don't show me where did

798
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: you go? There's something very very wrong going on. So

799
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: this movie, seventeen kids disappear, but it appears that eighteen

800
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: kids were in the class total. So maybe it is

801
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: that one child who did not dissiper who we're hearing

802
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: from in this trailer. The interesting thing about the way

803
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: they run out of their homes a couple of things.

804
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: It looks like they all go into the same direction

805
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: because we see Josh Brolin pull up a map. He's

806
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: pulling up all this ring cam footage trying to see

807
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: where they all went, and there's a big red line

808
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: in his map that all goes in the same direction.

809
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: They also all run in the same style. If you

810
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: were going to have a running start to try and

811
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: fly with your arms kind of out, kind of like

812
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: when you would play Super Mario Land or Super Mario World,

813
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: and he would start running like he was about to

814
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: take off with this cape, just with his arms kind

815
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: of angled by his side, almost like you're about to

816
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: fly away like Superman. That is how they are running.

817
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: So they're not running guarded in any way. They're not

818
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: protecting themselves. They don't really seem to have control of

819
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: their body. And you have to remember the title of

820
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: this movie is weapons, So to me, it feels like

821
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: some force is turning these kids into weapons in some way,

822
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: because what we see later in the trailer is some

823
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: of the adults starting to harm themselves. We see two

824
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: adults standing at the edge of a hallway, which that

825
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: has me just confused that have everything because you see

826
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: one kid walking down this hallway towards them and there's

827
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: almost this line of salt in between them. But the

828
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: two adults are standing at the edge of the hallway

829
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: and they look like they could be dead. They're just

830
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: standing there with like blood on their face, and you

831
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: get that weird sound effect as soon as the kid

832
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: places his foot over that line of sand. That is

833
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: the part I don't get, because if these kids are

834
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: used as weapons, is that what they are doing or

835
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: are they turning the adults into weapons once the kids

836
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: are gone, Because we also see some other members of

837
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: the community running through the streets in complete daylight with

838
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: a bloody face. We see another older gentleman stab himself

839
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: in the face. So a lot of creepy things are

840
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: going on here. As the voiceover said from the kid,

841
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people die in this story in really

842
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: unusual ways. It also kind of reminds me of the

843
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: Power Readers movie whenever Ivan News ooses all of the

844
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: parents and has mind control over them and they all

845
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: essentially become his minions and they have no control over

846
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: their body and they're just mindless zombies doing whatever he

847
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: wants them to do. Could we have that type of situation?

848
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: There are a lot of little subtexts in the classroom.

849
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: If you look at some of the things written on

850
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: the wall, it looks like they were being taught a

851
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: lesson about parasites, so it did something specifically infect all

852
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: of these kids inside of this classroom. If you look

853
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: at the time of day, which I am always fascinated

854
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: with any horror movie that shows a clock. Going back

855
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: to me watching movies like The Conjuring or The Exorcism

856
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: of Emily Rose, you learn about things like the devil hour,

857
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: that there are certain times of the day where these

858
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: evil spirits come out, where bad things happen. In the Conjuring,

859
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: at a certain time of day, all the clock stop,

860
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: or not day, but overnight, all the clock stop, and

861
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: then they smell this rantid meat. In this trailer, you

862
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: see the clock at two seventeen, which is a very

863
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: specific time to put into a trailer, So there has

864
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: to be some roote in that. I always pay attention

865
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: to the Diamond Day because for some reason, demons till time.

866
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: Maybe a devil has a rolex or something. I really

867
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: like Josh Brolin in a role like this. He is

868
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: a fantastic actor, most famously probably Thanos. That was his

869
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: biggest payday for me, my favorite movie of his, even

870
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: though I love Himsstanos. It has to be No Country

871
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: for old men. The wild thing about Josh Brolin. I

872
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: mean he got his acting star back in the eighties.

873
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: He was in the Goonies in nineteen eighty five. I

874
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: feel like everybody knows that. But because he's had such

875
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: a long career, you forget that. He broke out in

876
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: the late eighties, had success in the nineties and two thousands,

877
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: obviously with being in No Country for Old Men, but

878
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: probably has made a majority of his money from playing

879
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: Thanos in the MCU. But he said that he spent

880
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: twenty two years of his life just trying to work,

881
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: and whenever No Country for Old Men came out, he

882
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: was broke. He only made thirty thousand dollars for his

883
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: time on No Country for Old Men, And even though

884
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: that movie went on to win Best Pictures, sometimes you

885
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: don't make a lot of money off of movies like that.

886
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: Because after No Country for Old Men, he thought he

887
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: was broke. He thought he was done. He just had

888
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: all this success and thought, man, I'm gonna have to

889
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: go back and just find a normal job. He was

890
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: in a panic in his life, and then he received

891
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: a call from his lawyer who said, you got some

892
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: back end pay from American gangster. And he's like, all right,

893
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: maybe this will get me rented for another month. And

894
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: he got a number from his lawyer which he thought

895
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: was sixty thousand dollars, which he thought, Okay, that's a

896
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: pretty good payday. And it turns out he missed the

897
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: zero and he actually got six hundred thousand dollars in

898
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: back end pay, and that number brought him to tears.

899
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: He thought, man, I could live the rest of my

900
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: life off of six hundred thousand dollars. But then whenever

901
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: he played Danos an Infinity War, he made eight million

902
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: dollars for that role. There's no official number on what

903
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: he ended up making for endgames. Some say he probably

904
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: made another eight million. I feel like some people probably

905
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: got paid the exact same because they filmed those two

906
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: movies at the same time. So I was like, all right,

907
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend all this time here you get eight million,

908
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: and since we're all just kind of filming it all

909
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: together at once, we're gonna pay you kind of the

910
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: same thing. I really hope he had some kind of

911
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: deal where he got some money off that back end,

912
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: which I really feel the people who made the most

913
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: on that movie, well, number one is easily Robert Downey Junior,

914
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: who made millions and millions off of playing Tony Stark.

915
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: But Van also is such a big part of that world.

916
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: You can't imagine how he wouldn't make at least something

917
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: closer to Robert Downey Junior. But we even see that

918
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: now with David Cornsweat and Nicholas Holt making vastly different

919
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: salaries for Superman. Because Josh Brolin is still listed with

920
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: having a net worth of about twenty five million dollars,

921
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: we were talking last week about movie maths and actors

922
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: not making as much as you think. I would put

923
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Josh Brolin in the upper one hundred million range, but

924
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: Internet has unlisted at twenty five million. But that's not

925
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: always completely accurate. The other lore of this movie is

926
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: apparently Jordan Peel was involved in the bidding war for

927
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: the script to Weapons. He wanted this movie so bad

928
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: because Zach Gregor was already attached to it. Barbarian was

929
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 1: already a hit. So this is what happens. A director

930
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: delivers a hit and then everybody wants a piece of

931
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: their next movie. So Jordan Peele's production company was trying

932
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: to win the bidding war, but it ended up going

933
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: to Newline for thirty eight million dollars, which New Line

934
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: Cinema is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, who is putting

935
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: out this movie. Now. They won the Bidding War. They

936
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: have the movie coming out on August eighth, and allegedly

937
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Peele fired his management after losing that Bidding War,

938
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: and I believe Jordan Peele at the time, him and

939
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: Zach Gregor had the same management, So maybe that was

940
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: just a whole awful situation. But that's how competitive Hollywood gets.

941
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: And that also leads me to believe that this is

942
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: a really great story and it has a really great

943
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: second and third act that we're not seeing just in

944
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: this trailer. Because if it's something that Jordan Peele wanted

945
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: this badly, it has to be good. So, like I said,

946
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: it added my curiosity, but now it has my attention.

947
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean even just the sound design, like this is

948
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: kind of what got me in the trailer, that really

949
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: made me feel it, that freaked me out a little bit.

950
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: I love it when trailers use this kind of sound.

951
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: Oh that got me. But again, Weapons is coming out

952
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 1: next month on August eighth, And that was.

953
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 2: This week's edition of Movie Line tramor bar and that

954
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: is gonna do it for another episode here of the podcast,

955
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 2: But before I go, I gotta get my listeners shout

956
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 2: out of the week, and I promise I'm not always

957
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: trying to pick the negative responses and dms and messages.

958
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: But I've been getting them a lot more frequently lately,

959
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: and I came to understand that for Jurassic when I

960
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: don't like a movie, I get a lot of pushback

961
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: of people say, how'd you not like this movie? A

962
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: lot of fanboys, die hard fans will hit me up

963
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: and call me stupid things, tell me to never review again,

964
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: which I shared with you last week. But this past review,

965
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: when I talked about Superman, I had people hitting on

966
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: me because of how much I love that movie. So again,

967
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to highlight all the haters here, but

968
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: this is just what's been coming in more frequently. If

969
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: you want to combat this a little bit, I would

970
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: appreciate it if you maybe sent me a more positive

971
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 1: message or just tag me in your Instagram story listening

972
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: to that week's episode at Mike Distro on Instagram. I'll

973
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: repost that and make you next week's listener. Shot out

974
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: of the week just so it doesn't become the hater line.

975
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: But this week's listener shout out of the Week, aka

976
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: the hater shoutout of the Week, is to Joseph Scott,

977
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: who sent me this on X and said, wait, movie, Mike,

978
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: like something mediocre, You don't say Superman was a two?

979
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: It best? Same James Gunnfield. Every single thing he makes

980
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: Superman was not a too at best, at worst, at worst,

981
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: even at worst, even if you have no soul and

982
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: don't like anything fun at worst, that movie could be

983
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: was a three because it's in no way mid a

984
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: two point five, no way less than mid. It is

985
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: even if you're the biggest Superman hater, the biggest hater

986
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: of James gunn At minimum, that movie is a three

987
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: unless you're just really finding things to hate about movies,

988
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: or you have some completely different agenda going into it

989
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: and you wanted to hate it. I just can't find

990
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: what people hate about this movie, and most times I can,

991
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: and most times I can really have a grasp on

992
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: my fanboy noess, But I wasn't even a fan of

993
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: Superman going into this. I would have rated it lower

994
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: if it truly made me feel that way. So I

995
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: have no reason to overhype it, which I do get that.

996
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: It is hard when there is so much hype for

997
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: a movie and people go see it opening weekend and

998
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: it has really high rotten Tomato scores, everybody talking about

999
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: it at buzzing about it, and I think, what we're

1000
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna see now more so going into this week and

1001
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: the next week is all the people who went to

1002
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: see it because of the buzz. No matter what, when

1003
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: something is overhyped, you're gonna have those people go see

1004
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: it and be underwhelmed. This is what everybody was hype about,

1005
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: and I hate that. But I know in order to

1006
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: get that, you have to have something so great like Superman,

1007
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: that is inspiring people, that is fun. I have seen

1008
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot of what Joseph here on X is calling

1009
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: out people saying that all of James Gunn's movies have

1010
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: the same formula and they're all the same movie that

1011
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: is terrific. Is much like y'aw doing all these things,

1012
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: which that was the only thing I kind of looked

1013
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: back at a little bit more after watching it, after

1014
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: hearing more about what other people had to say. But

1015
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: if you have a formula that works in storytelling, of

1016
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: course you're gonna go back to it if it makes

1017
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: a great movie, and at this point in his career,

1018
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: that's how you tell superhero stories from him. I don't

1019
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: think you can hate it for that. I don't think

1020
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: he needs to reinvent that just yet. But I guess

1021
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: if you didn't like his trademarks, I could see what

1022
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: you think. This is a lot more of the same.

1023
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: But again, I still think even if you hate all

1024
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: those aspects, a minimum of three. But I appreciate the feedback, Joseph.

1025
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: I know not all people like this movie. I'd like

1026
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: to open myself to everybody's opinions. But again, if you

1027
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: want me to not bring another hater next week, send me.

1028
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't even have to be positive, just send me

1029
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: a different opinion. Thank you for listening, Thank you for

1030
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: being subscribed. Hope you have a great rest of your week,

1031
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: and until next time, go out and watch good movies

1032
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later.
