1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: You ever watch a movie with a big, old a 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: list actor and you think, man, they had to make 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: such a big paycheck for that movie, And yeah, that's 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: usually the case. They used to make a lot of money. 5 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: But sometimes, sometimes, in very rare instances, they take a 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: lower amount of money for a particular movie and have 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: their own explanation why. Sometimes they lead onto oscar, sometimes 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: they did it as a favor, whatever the case, that's 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: what we're talking about today. This episode is all about 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: a list actors who surprisingly took a small amount for 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: iconic movie roles. I'll also give a movie review for 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: a brand new movie called Black Bear, which is available 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: to stream now on demand, and also some major movie 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: news with Warner Brothers coming in hard with HBO Max 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: and announcing that all their movies will go onto streaming. 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: We'll get into those movies and our thoughts on that. 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Will have my fiance Kelsey on for that segment without 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: any further ado, let's get started. In a world where 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: everyone and their mother has a cast, one man stands 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking AUDIMTV, which classes from the 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Nashville Podcast Networking Movie Movie Podcast. All right, so just 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: to paint the picture of why I came up with 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the idea for this episode and the research I did 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: on this is. I am currently sitting in a bedroom 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, California. If you don't know, the main 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: show I work for is called The Bobby Bones Show, 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: where I am a writer and the producer over there, 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: and occasionally I have to travel for the job. This 31 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: year has been a lot different because everything got shut down. 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: We weren't traveling for a very long time. But right 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: now we're having to do a couple of weeks out 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles, which as a kid, Los Angeles 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: always seemed like a very far distant place that I 36 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: would never get a chance to go. And it wasn't 37 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,279 Speaker 1: until I started working in radio and had this job 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: and to do some traveling that I came to Los Angeles. 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I remember the first time I came to California just 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: how mind point it was for me to be a 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: trailer park kid who never left walks the Hatchie Texas 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: let alone, the state let alone, come to the West coast, 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: and it's still not lost to me how cool it 44 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: is to come out to Los Angeles, and me being 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: such a big movie fan, it's cool to see the 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: studios and walking around those places. I know everything's kind 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: of shut down now, but just driving through saying the 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: Hollywood sign like it's an amazing thing. And while I've 49 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: been here this week, I still go out on my runs, 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: which is pretty much my main form of exercise, but 51 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: also how I get the creative juices going. I come 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: up with a lot of ideas for the main show 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: and for this podcast while I'm out on a run 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: and I'm here reading in Los Angeles and I see 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: all these fancy houses up on the hill, and I 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: get to thinking, like, man, I bet some famous people 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: live in those houses, and just thinking about how expensive 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: it is to own a place out here, and just 59 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: how much a movie star actually makes, which got to 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: mean the thinking, you know what they end up making 61 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: per movie. And then I kind of got a little 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: bit more of like, you know what, I think, sometimes 63 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: the paycheck doesn't mean a whole lot to them anymore. 64 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: And I've seen this a lot more where actors come 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: back later in their careers and they're just trying to 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: do something that's meaningful to them, Like they've done the 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: big blockbuster movies, but they want to do something that's 68 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: a little more you know, refined and something that defines 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: them as an actor in the legacy they want to 70 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: leave on that. They kind of turned down big money 71 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: to do smaller projects to have that chance of getting 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: an oscar basically, And then you also kind of see 73 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: early on in actor's careers, they basically take anything to 74 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: kind of build up their resume. So you can see, 75 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: like a big actor who goes on to have a 76 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: very you know, fruitful career in the early days, they 77 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: took on a very small paycheck. So what I kind 78 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: of went through in research where instances where this happened, 79 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: where they ended up having these iconic roles, but the 80 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: paychecks don't really amount to what you think they would 81 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: have now a lot of time. In a lot of 82 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: these cases, it's still a lot of money. Like, don't 83 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: get me wrong, it's a big amount to shake a 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: stick at that we would be like I would take 85 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: that in an instance to do essentially a few months 86 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: of work, not downplaying how much effort and how hard 87 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: it is to be an actor in the craft they have, 88 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: but just saying like it's a substantial amount. So I 89 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: want to start first with Matthew McConaughey. So going back 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: first to thirteen. So Matthew McConaughey, he basically had his 91 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: run in like the early two thousands where he was 92 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: doing a lot of just kind of cheesy rom com 93 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: some action adventure movies in there. He was a big 94 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: movie star. He would make a lot of money per movie, 95 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: around fifteen million, twenty million on the high end. He's 96 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: in that a list kind of status there. But around 97 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: ten he started taking on smaller rules to kind of 98 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: it was almost a reinvention him of self, Like he 99 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: did all those movies and he was kind of known 100 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: as that guy, but he wanted to do something the 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: year and just more refined and kind of show like, hey, 102 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm like a really great actor. I have the ability 103 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: to do that. And where this all comes into play 104 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: is he actually turned down a role on Magnum p 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: I where he was gonna be making fifteen million dollars, 106 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: like straight up to do it. That's how much they 107 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: would have paid him. But instead he wanted to do 108 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Buyers Club, where he only earned under two hundred 109 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in exchange for some back end points. So 110 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: what that essentially means is he takes that kind of 111 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: smaller paycheck up front, but he also gets money on 112 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: the back end, whether through like royalties, ticket sales. Basically, 113 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: he doesn't make a whole lot of money up front, 114 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: but if the movie ends up being a success and 115 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: a hit, he'll make it on the back end, which 116 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: in this case, that's what happened. The movie only had 117 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: a five million dollar budget, like I did this super 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: low budget where there was basically like one person doing 119 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: like the makeup and the costumes were just all just 120 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: done on a shoestring budget for this type of movie. 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: That went on to make sixty million dollars. So he 122 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: ended up making his money on the back end. And 123 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: not only that, but he landed his first ever Academy 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Award for Best Actor. So now, Matthew McConaughey, it's worth 125 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: about ninety five million dollars. So to break that down 126 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: in what that would mean for you and I listening 127 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: how much he's making, he makes about fifty two cents 128 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: per second, about thirty one dollars per minute, eighteen hundred 129 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: dollars every hour and about forty five thousand dollars per day, 130 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: so he's doing pretty well. And I thought it was 131 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: cool of him to take less on this movie because 132 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: he believed in the project and he believed that it 133 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: would go on to be something that they're gonna end 134 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: up winning Officers for which not only did he, but 135 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: also Jared Letto did for Best Supporting Actor. And I 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: think since then we kind of take Matthew McConaughey a 137 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: little bit more seriously. He's not just the googby alright, alright, alright, guy, 138 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: He's kind of a legit dramatic actor now, whether it 139 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: be in movies or in TV. So I think this 140 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: was good on him. You know, tank the less money upfront, 141 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: make it on the back end. Either way, you get 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: to go home with an oscar. Now, all right, now 143 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: let's talk about Robert Downey Jr. And some of the Avengers. 144 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: So starting with Robert Downey Jr. The first Iron Man movie, 145 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: which basically kicked off the entire Marvel franchise and made 146 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: it what it is today, greatly due to how great 147 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: he was in the movie. And he only had a 148 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars salary for that first movie, and 149 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: let's just say since then he has gotten paid but 150 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to be the leading man in that 151 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: type of movie. At the time was a very small scale, 152 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm talking a legit a list actor at the 153 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: top of their game will probably bring in on the 154 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: higher end twenty million dollars for a traditional theatrical release. 155 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different now in the world of streaming, 156 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: like Netflix is paying way more in that right now, 157 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: they're getting up in too, like the forty sixty million 158 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: dollar range. But for an actor just with a straight 159 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: up theatrical at least, it's usually about fifteen twenty million 160 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: on the higher end, So five hundred thousand dollars it's 161 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: significantly less, but that's what it was at the time. 162 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: He was kind of having a comeback at this time. 163 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: But also like Matthew McConaughey, being that he took the 164 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: small upfront, he got the money in the back end 165 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: and ended up making two point five million dollars with 166 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: the success of the movie, ended up making fifty million 167 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: dollars for the first Avenger film, and then at the 168 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: very end of it, by the time we got to 169 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: End Game, he was making seventy five million dollars per 170 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: Marvel movie, so he's worth now about three d and 171 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: ninety six to roughly four hundred and thirty five million dollars. 172 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: So again I've kind of learned this in my life. 173 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: Whenever you first started something in approving yourself, you're gonna 174 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: have to take a little bit less money, and then 175 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: once you prove your worth, that's kind of when you 176 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: get paid. And then kind of going back to if 177 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: I will quote one of my favorite superhero movies, The 178 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: Dark Night, when Joker says, if you're good at something, 179 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: never do it for free. Words of wisdom from the 180 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: Joker here. Also staying in the kind of Avengers world 181 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: is Chris Evans was only paid a million dollars for 182 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the first Captain America film, and that was probably my 183 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: least favorite one, and I didn't know that they would 184 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: kind of be successful after that one. I thought that 185 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: one was a little bit slow. I didn't think the 186 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: villain was all that great, and he was in that 187 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: movie and we never saw him again, and I thought 188 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: they could have brought it back in some capacity. I 189 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: think that's also what a lot of the Marvel movies 190 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: were kind of lacking in the beginning, they didn't have 191 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: great villains, but needless to say, he really went on 192 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: to carry the Marvel movies. Now they were really heavy 193 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: on having iron Man being everything, whether it be the 194 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: Avengers movies or just having cameos and other Marvel movies, 195 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: because he carried the movie so much of putting his 196 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: name on it. People loved Robert Downey Jr. Is iron Man, 197 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: but I think underneath that, Chris Evans really kind of 198 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: created this foundation of the movies to where he was 199 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: right up there with iron Man as far as carrying 200 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: being able to carry a movie. So I thought he 201 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: should have been paid a lot more throughout, but he 202 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: ended up only making about fifteen million dollars per movies, 203 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: so they were just giving Robert Downey Jr. All the 204 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: money here. But even on the lower end, Chris Himsworth, 205 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: who played Store, he only took on a hundred and 206 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to play Thor in the first one. 207 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: But like Chris Evans, by the time he got to 208 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: the later movies, he made fifteen million dollars for Stora Ragnarok. 209 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: So I think in their cases it was just a 210 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: matter of them being able to show their worth and 211 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: showing that they could carry these movies so they got 212 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: their paycheck later. In Jonah Hill's case, when it came 213 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: to the Wolf of Wall Street, he accepted sixty thousand 214 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: dollars and it was mainly because he wanted to work 215 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: with Martin Scorsese, who was a legendary director, and for 216 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: an actor to be able to say that they worked 217 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: with one of their heroes probably means a lot to him. 218 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Think that really is what kind of sealed the deal 219 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: for him when he was just offered this role in 220 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: the ability to work with Martin Scorsese, he was like, 221 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: I'll basically do whatever, Like right when the deal was 222 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: offered to him, he took it and signed it and 223 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: was like, I just don't want them to take this 224 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: away from me, Like I want to be able to 225 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: work with Martin Scorsese. And when you just think of 226 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: the history of movies that he has, that they're all 227 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: legendary in their own way, and if you're in any 228 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: of his movies, you're basically going to leave behind that 229 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: same legacy. You're gonna be a part of his collection 230 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: of films. So I could see with an actor like him, 231 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: which also he was mainly a communicy actor at the time. 232 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: He'd done you know, money Wall, but he'd never really 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: been in a drama like this before, which he just 234 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: has some commenty in it too, but it's just seeing 235 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: Jonah Hill in a way you really haven't expected to 236 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: see him before. He's not the guy from super Band 237 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: at this when he's not playing Seth. So that's what 238 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: he did. He took the sixty thou dollars, that's all 239 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: he made from this movie, but then went on to 240 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Award, 241 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: and probably he was like biggest moment of his career 242 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: to date. Like, aside from him being able to do that, 243 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: he got to work with Martin Scorsese and since you know, 244 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: done a little bit of work and directing, he directed 245 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: a movie called Mid Nineties which came out a couple 246 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: of years ago. And I bet a lot of being 247 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: able to work with Martin Scorsese and a director of 248 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: that caliber really kind of gave him some edge and 249 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,239 Speaker 1: gave him some knowledge that he would not have acquired 250 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: any other way. Again, I can kind of relate this 251 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: back to me. I started out as an unpaid intern 252 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I worked for free for about a year and a half, 253 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people would come to me and 254 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: be like, dude, why are you doing this for free? 255 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: Like you're really good at this, you should be getting 256 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: paid by now. And I was like, you know what, 257 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: I know that eventually this will turn into something, and 258 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: I know that I am learning things that are invaluable. 259 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: And maybe people think I'm crazy right now, but just 260 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: know that this will pay off later. And it ended up, 261 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: you know, working out for me like it did for 262 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: Jonah Hill. You just can't really put a price on experience. 263 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: It's like that being able to work with somebody so 264 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: great and being able just to kind of experience that firsthand. 265 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: That's something in an internship that you know what it's 266 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: all about. Really, So I wouldn't go back and never 267 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: be I look back and I'm fine that I never 268 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: made a dime early on when I was doing this thing. 269 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: Ten years later, I'm still here doing my own podcast, 270 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: which is what I set out to do from the 271 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: very beginning. So hey, full circle moment. Here, we'll roll 272 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: through some more of these that I found. Um, if 273 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: you're watching Christmas movies right now or you're a big 274 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: fan of the movie Home Alone, a very small kind 275 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: of cameo at the very end is John Candy. It's 276 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: really an iconic cameo, Like you don't really realize how 277 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: big of a part of that movie is. And a 278 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: lot of that scene he just did on improv and 279 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: they were basically just like, hey, just show up to 280 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: set one day, knock out these scenes and you'll be 281 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: in the movie. And he ended up only making four 282 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen dollars for that movie. So at the 283 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: very end, if you don't remember, at the movie, he's 284 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: the one who offers Evan's mom a ride to go 285 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: and get to Kevin because she can't get a flight 286 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: out anywhere, and he has the whole polka band and 287 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: the whole idea like that whole like kind of back 288 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: and forth between her and him was a lot of 289 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: just his improv. So for fourteen dollars, and sadly, John 290 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: Candy died just three years after that movie came out, 291 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: but phenomenal actor. If you're not familiar with all of 292 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: his movies from anything of Splash Baseball's Uncle Buck, highly 293 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: recommend just sitting down over the holiday break and watching 294 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: a good old John Candy movie Myselfsky Polka, King of 295 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: the Midwest, the Kenosha Kickers. No, that's okay. I thought 296 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: you might have recognized anyways. Um, I had a few 297 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: hits a few years ago. That's why, you know, just Polca, PoCA, 298 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: Polka Folka. And then we got Jennifer Lopez who was 299 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: not paid a single dollar for her role in Hustlers, 300 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: which is like super surprising to me because you think 301 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez wouldn't even show up to a place unless 302 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: she had, like I don't know, ten fifty million dollars guaranteed. 303 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: But she believed in this movie so much she was like, 304 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to take a salary. I found an 305 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: interview she did in g Q and she basically said, 306 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: I did it for free, I produced it, I bank 307 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: on myself. She said, like Jenny from the Block, I 308 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: do what I want, I do what I love. So 309 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: that's pretty amazing. And that was I felt a very 310 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: big snub for her. She, along with that movie should 311 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: have been nominated when it came out for the Oscars. 312 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: But it's cool to see a celebrity and an actress 313 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: of her status just to be that passionate about a 314 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: project and just want to get it made. Also, Hillary 315 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Swink in the movie Boys Don't Cry. She was paid 316 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: just three thousand dollars for that role. And this movie 317 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: was very early on in her career. She had made 318 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: a whole lot of money doing any role. And what 319 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: she found out is that from a movie job, you 320 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: have to make five thousand dollars in order to qualify 321 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: for health insurance. And while making a movie, she had 322 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: to get a prescription. Field went to this pharmacy and 323 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: they told her, all right, this is gonna be a 324 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty dollars and she's like, is that with 325 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: my insurance? And they were like, yep. Turns out she 326 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: had an Academy award, didn't have health insurance. Boom. George 327 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: Clooney one of the highest paid salons right now. But 328 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: in order to write, direct, and star in the movie 329 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: good Night and Good Luck, George Clooney only received a 330 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: three dollar salary. That's right, one two three dollars. That's it. 331 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: I literally have that amount in my wallet. I could 332 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: hire George Clooney now if I wanted for what he 333 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: made making this movie. So this was basically just a 334 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: passion project for George Clooney. We've kind of seen a 335 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: theme here. People just really believe in a movie they 336 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: will basically make it for nothing. This one paid off 337 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: because it was nominated for not one, not two, not three, 338 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: not even four, not even five, but six Academy Awards 339 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and six. A passion project that 340 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: actually paid off. Now. I have friends who do passing 341 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: projects sometimes, whether it be some kind of hip hop 342 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: album they're making their bedroom, and I gotta say, I 343 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: don't think those have paid off quite like this one. 344 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: So be passionate but also has some talent. Jennifer Lawrence 345 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: who made about five hundred thousand dollars for her breakout 346 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: role as catanists Everdeen in The Hunger Game and then 347 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: went on to make thousands and millions in the rest 348 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: of that franchise, and now it just makes pretty much 349 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: that for every single movie. But when it came to 350 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: her first critically acclaimed role in Winter's Bone, she only 351 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: made three thousand dollars per week. That was it got 352 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: nominated for Oscar, but she only made three hundred thousand 353 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: dollars a week, and even later in her career for 354 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: like movies like American Hustle, she said, you know, she 355 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: still felt like there was a gender pay gap, like 356 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: her and Amy Adams were paid a lot less than 357 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: her male co stars. She said, like early on in 358 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: her career, she you know, didn't really know how to negotiate. 359 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: She would just kind of give up early. I mean, 360 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: that's also kind of along the lines of gal Gadot 361 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: and Wonder Woman. For the very first one, she only 362 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: made three hundred thousand dollars and that movie ended up 363 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: making eight hundred and twenty one million worldwide. Like that, 364 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: math makes no sense to me. Meanwhile, you got Superman 365 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: making tons of money and his movies are terrible. A 366 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: few more of these a little surprising. Brad Pitt was 367 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: only paid six thousand dollars for his role in Filma 368 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: and Louise. Bill Murray earned about nine thousand dollars for 369 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: his work on Rushmore ended up being an indie classic, 370 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: though Dustin Hoffman only made about seventeen thousand for his 371 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: breakout role in The Graduate. Julia Roberts made about fifty 372 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to start in the very first movie Mystic Pizza, 373 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: and then only made three hundred thousand dollars for one 374 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: of her most iconic roles of all time pretty woman 375 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: like That's it. John Travolta only made a hundred and 376 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars for his role in Pulp Fiction, which 377 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: I just saw him do a commercial the other day 378 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: where he's basically reenacting that dance scene, so he's made 379 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: up his money there. And then, finally, from one of 380 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: my favorite movies, the original Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis. It 381 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: was a very new actress at the time, basically put 382 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: her on the map. She only made eight thousand dollars, 383 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: so they shot that entire movie and only four weeks. 384 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: She was paid two thousand dollars per week. And also 385 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: not only that, she bought her own costume for the movie, 386 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: actually got it from a J. C. Penny's. Think about that. 387 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: Lorie Strode's iconic look was the J. C. Penny's original. 388 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: So if you ever wondered how much actors made for 389 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: some of your favorite movies, there you go. All right, 390 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: let's get into a movie review now. I want to 391 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: talk about the movie Black Bear, which just came out 392 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: last Friday, and I gotta say this was an unexpected 393 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: hit for me. I love Aubrey Plaza, so I was 394 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna watch this movie no matter what. But upon turning 395 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: this movie on and seeing what it ended up being about, 396 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: I was blown away. And I'm gonna say this early, 397 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: this could possibly be one of my favorite movies of 398 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: Before I get into that full review, here's just a 399 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: little bit of the movie black bear line since the 400 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: sudden I got here, this is what I want to 401 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: be normal people again. So going into this movie, I 402 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: didn't know a whole lot what it was going to 403 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: be about. I saw a quick snip, but the trailer 404 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: mainly saw it from Aubrey Plaza promoting the movie on 405 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: her Instagram page, I just watched Happiest Season, so I 406 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: was like, all right, I'm down to see her in 407 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: a dramatic role now, which I mainly know her as 408 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: a comedic actress. I know her from Parks and Wreck 409 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: and a bunch of stuff she did early in her 410 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: career that was, you know, more towards just straight up 411 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: comedy stuff. And then seeing her in this movie being 412 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: so intense and kind of like, oh man, like it's 413 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: like the range on Albredy Plaza in this movie. It's 414 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: pretty phenomenal. It's seeing her in a way I've never 415 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: seen her before. And I don't want to completely ruin 416 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: what the movie is about, because for me, I watched 417 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: it just on a whim. I knew it was gonna 418 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: be good when it was something brand new that you 419 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: could stream on at home. And the other great thing 420 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: about this that I'll mention right now, it only costs 421 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: six dollars to rent. Yeah, that's a big thing. Like 422 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: all the new movies coming out at home or twenty bucks, 423 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: this one will only cost you seven bucks wherever you 424 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: can stream video on the Man movie. So that was 425 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: a big selling point for me from the very beginning. 426 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: And I won't really reveal what happens throughout the movie, 427 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: but it just almost felt like two movies into one. 428 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: And what the movie is essentially about, which you kind 429 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: of pick up from the trailer, which is about as 430 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: much of a spoiler as I ever give out. I 431 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: only talk about something that shown in the trailer. It's 432 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: about this woman who goes to stay at a bed 433 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: and breakfast with this other couple and there's just some 434 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: crazy tension between the two because they feel like the 435 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: husband has feelings for this person coming to stay with them. 436 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: But that when you but then what you find out 437 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: later while watching this movie, it turns into being a 438 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: movie about making a movie and the director trying to 439 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,239 Speaker 1: get a really dramatic performance out of Aubrey Plaza and 440 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: doing things that kind of manipulator in the process, and 441 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: it gets very intense. So this movie is a little 442 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: bit meta in the sense that it's like a movie 443 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: within a movie about filmmaking. But maybe just because I 444 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: love movies so much and I love the process behind it, 445 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: it was kind of cool to see that different perspective, 446 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: like something pulled kind of behind the curtain a little bit. 447 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: And what it did a really good job of When 448 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: it did make the flip into like a chapter two, 449 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of broken into two chapters, it's still kept 450 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: this kind of intensity in this kind of just suspense 451 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: that was going while you're the one experiencing it with 452 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: the characters in the movie. So I just thought that 453 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: was a really interesting thing. And even if it's kind 454 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: of a meta kind of concept, I think they did 455 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: it pretty well. And there was just something about this 456 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: movie just from the dialogue that just had me like 457 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: pulled in. It wasn't anything crazy, no crazy special effects 458 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: or no crazy horror blood things like that. It was 459 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: just like intense dialogue and intense conversations, and you just 460 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: really see how great of an actress that Aubrey Plase 461 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: is to see that range in her to go from 462 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: like almost being two characters in this movie. In a sense, 463 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: it's really kind of captivating and a really unique way 464 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: to do something that I had, Like, I didn't even 465 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: know I needed this movie in my life until I 466 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: was watching it. And there's some things in this movie 467 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: that I haven't seen in movies in a long time. 468 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: And it's a fair warning it is rated R. And 469 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: there's there's man butt in this movie. I haven't seen 470 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: man butt in a movie in quite a while. I 471 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: think the total butt count in this movie is maybe two, 472 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: maybe three possibly butts in this entire movie, which is 473 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: something you don't see all the time anymore. And also 474 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: smoking don't say that a whole lot of movies anymore. 475 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: But I think they kind of did it as a 476 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: tactic to kind of create Aubrey Plaza's character when you're 477 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: seeing her as the actress acting in this movie. So 478 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: that was kind of an interesting point too. So from 479 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: the start of this movie, I kind of got misery vibe. 480 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to have that kind of 481 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: a twist, but what I ended up getting was two 482 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: movies in one, and Aubrey Plaza is really perfect in 483 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: both of them. So I think if you're looking for 484 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: something a little bit different as far as like a 485 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: drama with a little bit of not even common just 486 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: a little like dark comedy in there, I really think 487 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: you'll enjoy this one. It has a unique perspective, It 488 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: felt fresh and just something that I didn't know I needed, 489 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, and kind of a sleeper pick 490 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: in there to be one of my favorites. There were 491 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: just something that just captivated me in a way that 492 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: I haven't been before. There was parts of the movie 493 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: where I like stood up and put my hands on 494 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: my head, like literally got out of my seat to 495 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: react to what I was seeing on screen. Has a 496 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: really cool feel, looks amazing, It's done, I would say 497 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: pretty close to perfect and what I was looking for. 498 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: Would easily give it four out of five bears. And honestly, 499 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: I hope to see Aubrey Plaza do some more dramatic 500 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: girls like this. She's amazing at it. All right, let's 501 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: get into some movie news now, and I'm joined by 502 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: my co hot in fiance Kelsey, who is back home 503 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: in Nashville.

This is kind of 507 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: like become my favorite part of the podcast because we 508 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: get to just talk about movie news, go back and forth, 509 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: and I think listeners like this.

How 512 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: do you feel about this segment? I like it. It's fun. 513 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: I feel like people get to hear are like natural banter. Well, 514 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: there we go. Let's get into the biggest movie headline 515 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: of the week, and it's gonna pretty much change the 516 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: way we watch movies for the entire year. And Warner 517 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: Brothers coming in strong announcing that all of their movies 518 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: next year are coming to theaters and directly onto HBO Max. 519 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: And we've been talking about this for a minute now 520 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: because we're like, should we get HBO Max? Should we 521 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: try just to hang on to the trial, But now 522 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: the pretty much sets that we're gonna have to get 523 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: it and pay for it because we want to watch 524 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: all these movies. And I think it's pretty cool what 525 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: they're doing here. Are you excited about it? I am, 526 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: which I think paying for that service goes back to 527 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: our discussion last week about whether or not we will 528 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: pay for movies. So I'm just just getting this on 529 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: the record. We can pay for HBO Max. Is that 530 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: a yet? Yes, we can pay for HBO Max because 531 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: the great, the great thing that they're doing is you 532 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: just pay the subscription for HBO Max and you get 533 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: these movies. The only real catch here is that they 534 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 1: will only be available for thirty days, so they come 535 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: out in theaters, they come out on their streaming service, 536 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: and you can have like thirty days to watch them. 537 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: But they're not doing the whole Disney Plus thing that 538 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: charge thirty dollars, which ended up pretty much failing, which 539 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: we did watch that Muan movie Bade this thirty bucks. 540 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: So this is really them kind of saying like, hey, 541 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: we're here with HBO Max and we're gonna like change everything. 542 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: I think movie theaters are pretty upset. I read a 543 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: whole article with an interview with the CEO of Warner 544 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: and he's like Yeah, they're pretty much like not happy 545 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: about this, but we told them that, you know, this 546 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: is better than giving you nothing. This is kind of 547 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: working towards being able to enjoy new content again, because 548 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they just can't keep the laying movies on 549 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: and on and on without us seeing anything. This is 550 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: kind of that in between. Do you think that movie 551 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: theaters will kind of die out because it is a deal? 552 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't think they'll die out. 553 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: I still think there's an experience there in going I 554 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: think like going to see a movie in theaters is 555 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: more of like that would be more of like a 556 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: date night, like something you can do. I feel like 557 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: after this year, nobody's really gonna want to be home anymore. 558 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: Like I feel like once we're let out of our houses, 559 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: we're all just gonna never want to be home. So 560 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: I think that there's still some value in going to 561 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: the movie theater and it's an experience, um just kind 562 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: of those big ticket movies. But I'm also I'm looking 563 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: at your tweet now about this, and you said, looks 564 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: like I'm not leaving my couch for a while. I 565 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: just wanted to want to know we haven't left the 566 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: couch like, you're just you haven't. We have a lot 567 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: of couch this year. Like, I think we are probably 568 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: gonna need a new couch, like sooner than anticipated because 569 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: we've just sat on the couch for this entire year. Yeah, 570 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: the button prints getting pretty bad right now. It's not 571 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: like you aren't going to leave the couch, you just 572 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: you haven't yet going to continue. I was anticipating at 573 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: some point in to get out of the house and 574 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: go to a movie. But I think what this is 575 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna do. It's gonna give people the option. Who if 576 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: you're not comfortable going into a movie theater. But even 577 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: before the pandemic started, people were saying, Hey, we want 578 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: to be able to watch these movies at home too. 579 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: We like home theater systems and TVs and surround sound 580 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: has all gotten so much better. At home, you have 581 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: that ability to still enjoy a movie to that kind 582 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: of quality and that comfort of just you know, walking 583 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: to your living room. So I think this is something 584 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: people have been wanting. Is just kind of given them 585 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: a reason to do it this year while kind of 586 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: still pissing off a movie theater. So yeah, I honestly 587 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: don't know now if I would go back to a 588 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: movie theater. Again, this is only Warner Brothers, but I 589 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: could see other places following suit too. Yeah, we may 590 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: need to order that new couch. Do we also to 591 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: get a sound of bar? We do need a sound. 592 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: I can get a tweet the other day of somebody asking, 593 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: like the setup, I have to watch movies and the 594 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: only thing I'm really particular about is the picture, Like 595 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't I haven't invested in getting anything for the 596 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: sound yet, which I think you know, we're just saying 597 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: that's our next step. But um, at the start of 598 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: this whole thing, it was just kind of my idea 599 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: to like, Okay, I'm gonna need a new TV because 600 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna be watching a lot of things at home. Now. 601 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: We just have a TV that barely fits on our 602 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: TV stand. That's true. The first time I plugged that 603 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: thing in, I literally laughed out loud because it was 604 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: so massive in there and it barely fit on the 605 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: on the little TV stands. So we may need to 606 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: upgrade that too. So I just I just hear dollar 607 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: signs out of this conversation. But among the movies coming out, 608 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean everything from Mortal Kombat to Space Jam, which 609 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to, to the Suicide Squad Matrix, 610 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: four Dune. There's just so many movies that they're putting out, 611 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: and along the same lines what I was talking about 612 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: this quality is they're also being released in four K. 613 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: And then the other thing we about is they are 614 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: going to get rid of their seventh day trial, which 615 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: we were saying, yeah, they're probably not going to keep 616 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: that around for much longer. So I think our plane 617 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: has kind of gone there. Yeah, I mean there was 618 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: no that's just a bad business plan. Anyone can see that. 619 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: And I don't have a business degree, but like you're 620 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna offer a seven day free trial and put out 621 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: a huge movie, Everyone's just going to sign up, and 622 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: there are those people that would forget to cancel, but 623 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: I think the majority would try to cancel, So probably 624 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: smart that they're doing that. They got to make their 625 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: money back somewhere, because I mean, these movies cost so 626 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: much money. But I think they'll get a lot of 627 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: subscribers out of this. I'm curious to see how this 628 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: plays out, and right now they're only saying that this 629 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: will only be but I think they're just saying that 630 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: not to make any more movie heaters mad because pretty 631 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: much the head of AMC like wants to murder them 632 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: right now. I mean I still enjoy it. Like I said, 633 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: it's like an experience going into the movies. I mean, 634 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said. You get kind 635 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: of dressed up and you leave the house and they're 636 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: making a movie. Theater is a lot more comfortable, Like 637 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: AMC in particular have some great leather recliners though, So 638 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: I still would go the movies, not anytime soon, but 639 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: eventually I don't want them to completely die out. Are 640 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: you saying we should get leather recliners? Some lazy boys 641 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: his and hers? The lazy boys walked myself into that one. 642 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: Also in movie news, speaking of paying for movies, Mulan 643 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: is now available for free on Disney Plus. Now. We 644 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: paid the thirty bucks and we were like, hey, don't 645 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: pay it, like it's not worth it. Would you say, now, 646 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: if people have Disney Plus to watch, move on? Sure? 647 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: I mean I I didn't really enjoy that movie. It 648 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: was it didn't feel like it did. No. If you're 649 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: looking for something to watch, like I know kids are 650 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: probably getting out of school now, sure watch. It wasn't 651 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: my favorite thing. I'm probably never going to rewatch it. Yeah, 652 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: it just felt like a Disney war movie. It didn't 653 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: have the charm is the original one, like the songs 654 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: that weren't in there, Mooshoe wasn't in there. I felt 655 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: it lacked a little bit. It looked amazing like they 656 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: filmed that to be seen in a big movie screen. 657 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: But aside from that, they took a lot away from 658 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: the story and it didn't really feel like the same movie. 659 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: So but also, mulan Is just isn't one of my 660 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: favorite Disney movies. Also in movie news, the Oscars said 661 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: that they will be live and in person next year. 662 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Usually goes down in February and now won't happen until April, 663 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: but it won't be a virtual thing. They'll be back 664 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: with actors and actresses in the actual awards ceremony, which 665 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: for me, the Oscars are kind of like my super Bowl, 666 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: which I mean, I'll watch the Super Bowl as well, 667 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: but I get so invested in the Oscars and watching 668 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: all the Oscar movies and making my picks and you know, 669 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: when those are on. It's an event for me that 670 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: I really look forward to every year. And I think 671 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: they can do it in a safe way, especially by April, 672 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: and I was kind of thinking of when they did, 673 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: like the c m as that kind of had a 674 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: weird field to where it felt like they were just 675 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: a conference room kind of standing around and like chairs 676 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: and tables, but they were all there, like all the 677 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: people nominated and performing were there. So the weird thing 678 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: about oscars is there's I mean there's usually performances too, 679 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: but it's just kind of people hanging out in the room. 680 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: So I guess that's the oppost they're going to have, 681 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: just not having a full on audience there. But do 682 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: you like the oscars? Do you like watching them? I do? 683 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I don't typically know a lot of 684 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: the movies. The only beer that I had seen a 685 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: lot of the movies with the year that that movie 686 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: pass thing was a big deal and which I mean 687 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: that went under quickly. What did I pay? I paid 688 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: like ten dollars a month and I could see like 689 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: a movie a day, which was great. I saw so 690 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: many movies I never would have seen because I was like, 691 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't really have to pay for this um But yeah, 692 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't always know all of the Oscar 693 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: movies I will watch them, though I enjoy them. I'm 694 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: kind of wondering what's going to be nominated next year. 695 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: Not that much has come out Sonic the Hedgehog, like 696 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: The Hedgehog for Best Picture. Yeah, yeah, I remember when 697 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: Movie Pass came out, everybody tagged being in there, like 698 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: you gotta get this, you gotta go, you know, get 699 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: this movie Pass that you can see all these movies, 700 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: and I never got it. I knew it was going 701 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: to fail from the very start. I'm like, there's no 702 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: way that they're going to be able to keep up 703 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: with that business plan like of allowing you to watch 704 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: however many movies you wanted, and which I think that's 705 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: how it was at the very beginning, and then they 706 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: kind of restricted there. Towards the end, they restricted it 707 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: and it would be like one showing in the theater 708 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: like Miles from You. So they like pretty much limited 709 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: it at the end and then they went under. But 710 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: it was great while it lasted a lot of movies. 711 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: R I p Movie Pass. And last thing in movie 712 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: news is the Toxic Avenger reboot officially has Peter dink 713 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: lidge On as a cast member, which I'm pretty excited about. 714 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: Toxic Avenger was a really big cult horror movie back 715 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: in the day from Trauma, and it was a movie 716 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: that I watched and wanted to essentially become a director 717 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: and make my own horror movies. So I think this 718 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: is pretty cool. This is getting a reboot mainly because 719 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: of a whole lot of people don't know about this movie. 720 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: But there's such a kind of underground fan base for 721 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: the Toxic Avenger and all the Trouban movies. And I 722 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: think now that Peter Dinklage is attached who you would 723 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: know from Game of Thrones. He's also an elf and 724 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: a lot of things. But I think that will bring 725 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: a lot of attention to this movie that kind of 726 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: deserves it. And I think this is a movie that 727 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: you would absolutely hate, to be honest, Like, you don't 728 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: like any kind of horror movie, any kind of golore, 729 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: even if it's kind of comical, do you. I don't 730 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: even like suspense. You don't like science at all? You 731 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: know that. Why are you sounding surprised right now? I 732 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: thought it was more like scary things, like horror related 733 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: or like demon stuff. There's actual like suspense movies you 734 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 1: don't like. I mean, I didn't even love bird Box. 735 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's that's kind of like could kind of happened. 736 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't like the feeling of like knowing that 737 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm just supposed to be scared. Like sometimes even in 738 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: TV shows, I will if they like start like am 739 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: I like not scary music, but it just kind of 740 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: like tells you something's coming. I will pause it and 741 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 1: watch or not posit muted watching a soundbox. I just 742 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: don't like to be scared. Well, the other day I 743 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 1: was watching Midsummer in the living room and I made 744 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: a point to pause it when you came through the 745 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: living room. Um, I did that for you because I 746 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: know you don't like Oars though, and that movie is 747 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: pretty freaky, So, um, I did you that song. I 748 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: knew everything that happened in that movie, so I didn't 749 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: feel like it would have been that scary. But thank you. 750 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: I do appreciate that the sounds account. Well, there we 751 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: go a lot of big movie news here. Um.
