Today I want to share 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: with you what I think are the best movie castings 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: of all time, because they just came out with the 5 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: official cast for the new Fantastic Four movie and everybody's 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: freaking out over it. There's a long, weird history with 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: Fantastic Four, so we'll dive into all that. In the 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: movie review, we'll be talking about Dakota Johnson's performance in 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: Madam Webb and oh man, how I loved all the 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: press she did leading up to this movie. Is it 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: going to be a disaster? That is the question. And 12 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: in the trailer park, we'll keep it in Marvel, except 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: we'll step out of the Sony Spider verse and hop 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: over into the MCU to talk about dead Pool and Wolverine. 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: So thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew. Now let's 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: talk movies. 18 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 20 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast. A man so much 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTV Woods glasses 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. 23 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: You finally have it, the official casting for the new 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Fantastic Four movie, which is coming out on July twenty fifth, 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. We're gonna have to wait a minute 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: for this one. Everybody has been speculating, everybody's been freaking 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: out about Fantastic Four. And maybe I'm the only person 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: who doesn't fully get the Fantastic Four movies because I 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: don't really see anything fantastic about them. And I think 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: it's whenever Pedro Pascal was just rumored to be mister 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: Fantastic that I was like, what is the big deal? 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: What am I missing about these movies? And it was 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: at that time that I went back and rewatched every 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: single Fantastic Four movie and I still don't get it. 35 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: And this is coming from somebody who loves Fantastic Four 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: in the comic books, which is why there's been so 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: much of a demand to make this movie. And when 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: you look at Marvel movies, historically, the movies that got 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: made first were the ones that had the most popular 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: comic books. You go way back into the nineties, and 41 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking even outside of the TV shows that were made, 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: but they wanted to make the big properties have their 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: movies first. That's what we got Fantastic four. There was 44 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: a movie in the nineties that never came out because 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: it was so awful. But that's why we got The 46 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: Hulk first, the X Men, and of course Spider Man, 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: because those were the best selling comic books, the ones 48 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: everybody loves, so naturally you want to make movies about 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: your most popular heroes first. And that is also what 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: led to the history of the MCU, because Marvel was 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: selling off all of their big properties left and right, 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: because they were the Marvel that they are now. They 53 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: weren't acquired by Disney. They were struggling to stay alive 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: because the movies historically didn't perform well at the box office. 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: So Marvel had to go and sell the movie, right, 56 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: it's to different studio. They sold movies off to Fox, 57 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: they sold them off to Sony, and the ones they 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: kept for themselves were the less popular superheroes. So if 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you look at the MCU, which started in two thousand 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: and eight with iron Man, iron Man was by no 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: means one of their most popular characters, but it was 62 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: really all they had the rights left to so then 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: they started building their empire, and that's what you had. 64 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: Movies made with less popular characters. The Avengers themselves all 65 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: individually weren't the most popular. They didn't quite compare it 66 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: to all the big heroes. But at the bottom base 67 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: layer of that, it was always Fantastic for they were 68 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the first superhero family. And the thing that really set 69 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: them apart, and much like a lot of the Marvel superheroes, 70 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: was that they had flaws. They got put into situations 71 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: that everybody on the DC side didn't have to deal with. 72 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: Fantastic Four had to deal with money issues. Their headquarters 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: would be taken away because they couldn't afford rent, and 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: they went through all these real life things and they 75 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: placed them in New York City, so it felt very 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: real and they had a lot of comedic elements to them. 77 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: That is why I think young readers grasped onto the 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Fantastic Four so much. And their superpowers were very elaborate. 79 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: You have read Richard's aka Mister Fantastic who his body 80 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: is essentially elastic and he can stretch out and do 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: all these weird things. You have Sue Storm aka the 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: Invisible Woman. You have Ben Grimm aka the Thing, and 83 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: then you have Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, and 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: the villain is Victor von Doom aka Doctor Doom. And 85 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the thing about all these characters is they are so cartoony. 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: They're great in the comic books, but it's such a 87 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: hard movie to get right because of that. I love 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: mister Fantastic, but when you put him onto the big screen, 89 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: it looks incredibly cheesy. And the Thing is also very 90 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: hard to get right with the aesthetic and the look 91 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: of the Thing. But I would think that they didn't 92 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: really have the idea of turning this into a live 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: action franchise at the point of conception. So I think 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: that's why historically Fantastic Four has had such a rough 95 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: go at the box office and when it came to 96 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: the big screen adaptations. First you had Fantastic Four in 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, which was the movie that never saw 98 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: the light of day. And just to give you context 99 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: on how bad this movie was, here is a scene 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: in the movie where Ben Grimm first turns into the Thing, 101 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: and he sounds like Patrick Starr from SpongeBob. Ben, We're 102 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: all gonna go get some help. Tell me that doesn't 103 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: sound like an episode of SpongeBob. I want all of 104 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: you got to look at it. That's a SpongeBob reference 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: for all you pineapple heads out there. And I would 106 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: argue that in between nineteen ninety four and all the 107 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: way to two thousand and five, they didn't improve that 108 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: much in quality. They still had that level of cheese, 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: which I guess going into it you have to expect 110 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: a little bit. So maybe that is something that I 111 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: just fully didn't understand about these movies. But anyway, you 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: had it in two thousand and five Rides of the 113 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: Silver Surfer in two thousand and seven. In those movies, 114 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: you had Johann Griffith as Reid Richard's Jessica Alba as 115 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: Sue Storm, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, 116 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: who he would go on to be in another Marvel franchise, 117 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: The Avengers, and of course Captain America. He had Michael 118 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Chickliss as Ben Grimm aka the Thing. And then you 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: had Julian McMahon as Victor von Doom. And the thing 120 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: is Doctor Doom is such a great character in the 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: comic books, but on screen in these movies, his mask 122 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: looks terrible, and he is such an incredibly cheesy villain 123 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: that it almost looks like you're watching a bad soap opera. 124 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: But you had that one in two thousand and five, 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: follow it up with a sequel in two thousand and seven, 126 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: which the Silver Surfer is another great comic book hero. 127 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: And I feel like these movies just came out at 128 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: the wrong time. If you took this same cast and 129 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: put it into the twenty and fifteen version, I think 130 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: it would have been a better movie. But then they 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: tried to get in twenty fifteen. You have Miles Teller 132 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: this time as Read Richard's aka Mister Fantastic, Kate Mara 133 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: as Sue Storm, Michael B. Jordan as the Human Torch, 134 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm, and Tony Kebble as Doctor Doom. 135 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: This is a pretty decent cast, but somehow they managed 136 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: to make this movie even cheesier. And I think what 137 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: happened here is they spent more money and paid more 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: attention to detail on the special effects. That the script 139 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: in this movie was terrible, And the scene that drives 140 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: me crazy is how they finally decide to name their group, 141 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: listen to the level of acting and just poor writing 142 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: in this clip. 143 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: Come along way since the garage. 144 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Say that again, it's fantastic. Yes it is, guys, 145 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: I got it, And then it cuts to their name. 146 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Fantastic for that's how they came up with it. That 147 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: is terrible, terrible writing. So that is the reason I 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: have not the highest of expectations going into this movie, 149 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: even though this new one has a fantastic cast, which 150 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: I want to get into now. Just announce this past 151 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: week on Valentine's Day, which I thought it was a 152 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: really cool way that Marvel announced it. They essentially put 153 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: out this old school looking Valentine's Day card and then 154 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: you had all the actors in their suits drawn animated. 155 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: It was a really cool retro looking way and a 156 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: fun way to announce a movie. Casting one of the 157 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: best I've seen in years. When I saw it the 158 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: official casting, even though it all been kind of rumored, 159 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this actually looks like it could 160 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: be pretty good, and it's going to come down to 161 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: how good is the script and how much are they 162 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: going to pay attention to the visual effects, because you 163 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: can't have but these visual effects given all of these characters, 164 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: but also you have to come through with a much 165 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: stronger story that we've had in the past. So Pedro 166 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: Pascal is Read Richard's aka mister Fantastic. Pedro Pascal is 167 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: a really hot actor right now, coming off the Last 168 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: of Us. I feel like he is somebody that everybody 169 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: wants a piece of right now. For an actor who's 170 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: been around a while, is now really translating into becoming 171 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: a full out movie star. So I feel like him 172 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: taking on this role, they have to kind of queue 173 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: him up on the plan that his character has throughout 174 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: the MCU. I don't feel like he would take this 175 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: as a one off. I feel like they had to 176 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: offer him a multi movie deal to connect him in 177 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: the EMS, so whether it be more Fantastic Four movies 178 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: or also cameos in the new Avengers movies or Secret 179 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: Wars movies, which the Fantastic Four are probably going to 180 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: play a bigger role in those movies given that we 181 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: don't really have any Avengers anymore. I was just rereading 182 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: Secret Wars and it really made me excited to see 183 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: a more refined Read Richards, which is what you have 184 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: in that Secret Wars. For yes, he is super smart, 185 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: like he has been depicted in movies, but also has 186 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: some internal struggles and things going on in his mind, 187 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: and I feel like Pedro Pescal could be the person 188 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: to bring that out and read Richards as Sue Storm 189 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: aka the Invisible Woman. You have Vanessa Kirby, who maybe 190 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: I kind of missed a boat on her, but it's 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: really been in the last year that I've been more 192 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: familiar with her and enjoying her performances in movies like 193 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning. I thought she was really good 194 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: in that and in Napoleon, even though I didn't love 195 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: that movie, I thought her performance was great that movie. 196 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: I could care less about Napoleon. I cared more about 197 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: her character, which was the wife of Napoleon. So I 198 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: feel like she's also on the rise right now. And 199 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: she has shown me in two different types of movies 200 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: that she can do action and she can do drama. 201 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: Put those two together and we have her as Sue 202 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Storm in Fantastic Four, and then Joseph Quinn, who you 203 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: would know as Eddie Munson in the latest season of 204 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: Stranger Things. He is kind of coming on the rise 205 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: now too. Obviously that has made him, I wouldn't say, 206 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: a huge star, but it's made him notable, and that 207 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: show has such a big fan base that I feel 208 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: like they have him because Okay, you have people who 209 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: recognize you, now it's time to put you in a 210 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: big Hollywood movie to see what you got kid. Then, 211 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: as Ben Grimm aka the Thing, we have Evan Moss Backrack, 212 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: who you would know as cousin in The Bear, another 213 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: actor here who has found success in the last couple 214 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: years and now really cashing in on that. And I 215 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: think he's a really good actor. He is probably one 216 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: of the biggest driving forces in The Bear, and The 217 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: Thing is probably a hard character to play because if 218 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: you've seen the other movies, you are on screen as 219 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: Ben Grimm for a very limited amount of time, then 220 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: your role translates into voice acting. They'll probably have him 221 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: stand in as the Thing, kind of like they did 222 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo as The Incredible Hulk. Put some big suit 223 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: on him, put some tracking on his face, and then 224 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: use his movements to I would hope impose on the 225 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: character that way. It has a little bit more of 226 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: a human feel to it and not just look like 227 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: a big clump of rocks like the Thing is. So 228 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: maybe that'll work or maybe they'll just go back and 229 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: make them as comic accurate as possible. So I like 230 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: the cast. It looks promising. I just really hope that 231 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: the MCU isn't investing so much in The Fantastic Four, 232 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: which is historically not performed the best. And if you're 233 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: in a situation where you're looking for your new ev 234 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: you're looking for your new team for everybody to root for, 235 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: but most importantly pay money to go see in theaters, 236 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: that has me a little bit worried. Now, let's get 237 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: into some of the best castings in movie history. Since 238 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about superhero movies, I'll kick it off with 239 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: a couple that I have at the top of my list, 240 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: and I think this one might be hands down the 241 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: most important movie casting of all time, and it is 242 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man. First movie came out 243 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight. Jon Favreau, who directed 244 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: the movie, saw Robert Downey Junior and kiss Kiss Bank 245 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: Bank and thought his wit, his charm, his depth would 246 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: be perfect for Tony Stark. And this is back when 247 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: Marvel was not what we know it to be now, 248 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: and this was so essential going down the line because 249 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: at the forefront of the MCU, and really the heart 250 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: of the entire Infinity saga was Robert Downey Jr. As 251 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: iron Man. He threw the entire MCU on his back 252 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: and carried it. If you put iron Man in any 253 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: of the Marvel movies, it would instantly make it a 254 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: better movie. He proved it. And not only that, he 255 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,479 Speaker 1: got paid and they realized that because he made millions 256 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars as Tony Stark and iron Man, 257 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: so much so that if the MCU ever gets desperate 258 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: again and they need that money, they're gonna bring it 259 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: back sooner than we want because he is so good 260 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: at it. And I think iron Man is one of 261 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: the most iconic and important characters in modern cinema and 262 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: has made billions of dollars at the box office. And 263 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: it was also a bit of a risk to cast 264 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: Robert Downey Jr. Who had had issues in the past 265 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and had gone through stuff and was seen as kind 266 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: of a risky choice to base your entire movie studio on. 267 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: This is gonna be the guy at the forefront of everything. 268 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: But it worked out perfectly. So at the top of 269 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: my list, I'm not gonna rank these all in order, 270 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: But that is such a big important part of the 271 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: history of Marvel for over a decade and has left 272 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: such an impression that without that, Marvel would have been 273 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: much like it had been before going bankrupt and not 274 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: being able to catch the check. So Robert Downey Junior 275 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: as Ironman one of the best of all time. Along 276 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: those same lines, before there was Ironman, there was Wolverine. 277 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman is Wolverine is incredible and I'm gonna get 278 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: into the Deadpool Wolverine trailer later. And the crazy thing 279 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: about this is Hugh Jackman actually wasn't the first pick 280 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: for the role. Dugray Scott was initially cast as Wolverine, 281 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: but he had to drop out because he had scheduling conflicts. 282 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: And then the director saw Hugh Jackman's performance in the 283 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: stage reduction of Oklahoma and saw how charismatic Hugh Jackman 284 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: was and also just how strong he was physically. And 285 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: that is the other bizarre thing about Hugh Jackman is 286 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: we know him as Wolverine, we know him as being 287 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: able to do action movies, but the dude can sing 288 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: and is so classically trained in musicals. I could see 289 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: nobody else as Wolverine, and I feel like he is 290 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: an actor that just immerses himself in a role when 291 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: it comes down to the hair and the wardrobe and 292 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: the physical attributes to me, he is Wolverine, even though 293 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: in the comic books Wolverine is a much shorter character. 294 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: Is this really hard headed compact, dude, But once you 295 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: put Hugh Jackman on the big screen, it is undeniable. 296 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: We'll get out of the superhero world for a minute. 297 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: And also on my list, I have Chris Tucker as 298 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: Smoky in Friday, which came out back in nineteen ninety seven. 299 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: The way Chris Tucker got this role the director Gary 300 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: Gray saw Chris Tucker doing stand up and thought, man, 301 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: I could use that guy in my movie because he's 302 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: very energetic. He's so charismatic. I just love listening to 303 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Chris Tucker talk with all the inflection and emotion in 304 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: his voice that it just makes me laugh. And the 305 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: reason I feel like this is one of the best 306 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: movie castings of all time is because whenever a sequel 307 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: gets brought up, everybody wants to know if he's gonna 308 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: come back as Smoky. That is the sign of an 309 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: iconic character and an amazing performance. Because they've made a 310 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: lot of sequels to Friday, but Chris Tucker has not returned. 311 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,719 Speaker 1: And when they made that movie, the actors didn't make 312 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot of money. It was essentially an indie 313 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: movie that ended up being such a hit that you 314 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: think gets crazy that he probably only got paid maybe 315 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: a few thousand dollars to be Smoky. And they also 316 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: filmed that movie so fast that for these actors' lives, 317 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: it was little slice of their year, a little slow 318 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: of time that has lasted their entire career. But Chris 319 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: Tucker is fantastic as Smoky. I've watched that movie countless 320 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: times and he still makes me laugh. One of the 321 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: best movie castings of all time. We'll get out of 322 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: the nineties, move over to the two thousands into a 323 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: holiday movie. Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf in Elf 324 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: in two thousand and three. And the thing about this 325 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: casting that is impressive is that Will Ferrell was not 326 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: at the status that he is now back in two 327 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: thousand and three when he was cast and this movie 328 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: came out. John Favreau, who directed this movie another name 329 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: we've heard on this list before as a director. He 330 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: was really just a big fan of Will Ferrell from 331 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: his Saturday Night live performances, so to cast him in 332 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: this movie, much like we've seen historically through this list, 333 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: was also a bit of a risk because he wasn't 334 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: a household name. The studio wanted somebody more recognizable. But 335 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: Jon Favreau, being the amazing director he is, saw the 336 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: vision that Will Ferrell is Buddy the Yelf. He has 337 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: the comedic timing, he has the look, he has what 338 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: we need to make this movie work. And he was 339 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: completely correct. So a great move on Jon Favreau's part. 340 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: But also the reason I consider it to be one 341 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: of the best movie castings of all time is because 342 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: it catapulted Will Ferrell's comedic career in movies. So we 343 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: went from having supporting roles in movies like Old School 344 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: to having a slew of starring roles in comedies through 345 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: the two thousands and into the early twenty tens, and 346 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: this was the movie role that made him undeniable in Hollywood. 347 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: We'll get out of family Christmas movies and move way 348 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: back into the eighties. In horror, Robert England as Freddy 349 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street back in nineteen 350 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: eighty four. Robert England just has the look. Even when 351 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: he's not wearing the Freddy Krueger makeup, all I can 352 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: see in his face is Freddy Krueger, which I am 353 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: imagine is both a blessing and a curse, because I 354 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: feel like he loves the Freddy Krueger character. He goes 355 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: to comic cons, he does all these things because he 356 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: is dedicated to the fan base. But I have to 357 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: imagine that gets a little bit hard because Freddy Krueger 358 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: is known as being a pretty vile, unattractive characters, so 359 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: to be associated with that day after day when you 360 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store has to be pretty tough. 361 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: But also you are one of the most iconic horror 362 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: characters of all times, So I think the two probably 363 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: outweigh each other. When it comes to how Robert England 364 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: was cast as Freddy Krueger, Director Wes Craven just saw 365 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: him in a television mini series and he saw his 366 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: ability to bring a sinister presence to a character. And 367 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: he also thought that his charisma and physicality would be 368 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: perfect for Freddy Krueger, which I feel like is a 369 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: pretty demanding role based upon the mind frame that you 370 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: have to be in to do some of the things 371 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: that Freddy Krueger does. Have that comedic timing as well, 372 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: because Freddy is a funny character even though it is 373 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: a horror movie, and then also have the look that 374 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: makes it believable without being completely cheesy. I could see 375 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: no one else as Freddy Krueger. I mentioned recently that 376 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: it's probably time to remake a Nightmare on Elm Street. 377 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm at the point where I just want to see 378 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: all of the original horror characters do movies where they 379 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: are just aging. They kind of did it with Halloween 380 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: in the most recent installments, do it with Freddy Krueger, 381 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: an aging Freddy Krueger having a little bit of a 382 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: harder time killing people in their sleep. Next up from 383 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, I have Christoph walt as Hans 384 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: and Inglorious Bastards. I think this is one of the 385 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: best movie villains of all time, and Christoph Waltz just 386 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: plays a villain so incredibly well. He went on to 387 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He is such 388 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: a great actor. He wasn't even supposed to be a 389 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: central figure in the movie, but after being so impressed 390 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: with his audition, Tarantino decided to go back and rewrite 391 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: the character and put him at the forefront of the film, 392 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: and it works together so beautifully. You can see it 393 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: from the very opening scene of this movie, the tension 394 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: that he brings to the situation that seems not insignificant 395 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: but almost just ordinary. He takes it up to a 396 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: level of ten. I just love the way that he 397 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: speaks in this movie, and that he is so menacing 398 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: and that you, as the viewer, want to take him 399 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: down yourself because he is such a driving force and 400 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: such a great villain an oscar well deserved. I have 401 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: Christoph Waltz as Hans and Inglorious Bastards also on my list, 402 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: going back to the seventies, Harrison Ford as Hans Solo 403 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: in Star Wars, and it's him more so than any 404 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: other actor in this movie. No disrespect to Mark Hamill, 405 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: but I think he's not the only actor I could 406 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: see doing that role. Justice and Carrie Fisher rip is 407 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: fantastic and iconic as Princess Leia, but I think without 408 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: Harrison Ford as Hans Solo, these movies would not have 409 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: had the same effect. And I also just love the 410 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: story of how Harrison Ford was cast in the role. 411 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: He really wasn't pursuing acting as you would think to 412 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: land a role like this. He was already in his thirties, 413 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: but he was working as a carpenter and he ended 414 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: up getting an audition with George Lucas. They had worked 415 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: together on American Graffiti, so we actually brought in Harrison 416 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Ford to read lines with other actors who are auditioning 417 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: for different roles in the movie, and then George Lucas 418 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: was impressed by how Harrison Ford was portraying Han Solo 419 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: and thought, that is exactly what I envisioned for this character. 420 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: He's rugged, he's charismatic, he has the essence of Han 421 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: Solo that we need. And initially Harrison Ford was a 422 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: little bit reluctant to take the role again, and he 423 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: was working as a carpenter for lucasfilm. He wasn't really 424 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: trying to be a full on Hollywood actor, and then 425 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: decided to accept the role and went on to become 426 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: an icon in film. From this, he did all the 427 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: other Star Wars movies. He went on to be Indiana Jones. 428 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: I mean for an actor like Harrison four to be 429 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: not one two but like three super iconic characters in 430 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: film and get his start so much later in life 431 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: in his thirties, which is inspiring to me as somebody 432 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: who was thirty two gonna turn thirty three this year. 433 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: Just shows you that don't compare yourself to others. Don't 434 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: think you have to be on some kind of a 435 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: timeline and think, oh, I'm thirty or I'm forty. Even 436 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: if I'm fifty, I couldn't start this now. You go 437 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: through history and see people who made it later in 438 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: life because they were just good at what they did, 439 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: because maybe they waited at the right time. I don't 440 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: always believe that good things come to those who wait. 441 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: I think good things come to those who go out 442 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: and try and find them, but also have the patience 443 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: to take rejection and the drive and determination to keep 444 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: trying and trying again when things don't work out. So 445 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: the waiting is kind of the byproduct of all the 446 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: hard work that you actually put in. But to know 447 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: that you could be in her thirties and still the 448 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: greatest things that you will accomplish are still ahead of 449 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: you is inspiring to me. I see that as Harrison 450 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: Ford and Han solo and Star Wars. That is why 451 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: I included him on this list. We'll run through some 452 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: more a little bit quicker. Of course, I gotta mention 453 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: Heath Ledger as the Joker in the Dark Night. I 454 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: don't need to go in extensively. Why I think that is. 455 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: You've heard me rave on and on about Heath Ledger 456 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: as the Joker on this podcast time and time again. 457 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: But it would be a discredit to his performance and 458 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: not include him on this list. I would also include 459 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz 460 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: back in nineteen thirty nine, Alongo Say. I would also 461 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: have Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in the original movie, 462 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: because I wasn't that familiar with Gene Wilder and all 463 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: the amazing work he has done in comedy from Blazing 464 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Saddles see No Evil, Here No Evil, just a couple 465 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: of my favorites, which those movies came out after Willy Wonka. 466 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: But he is an actor that I feel like a 467 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: lot of people might not know all of his other 468 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: work or even in Young Frankenstein. The list goes on 469 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: and on with how many great movies he has started. 470 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: And it's because of this role as Willy Wonka being 471 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: one of the most iconic out of all of them, 472 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: that if you were just a surface level movie fan, 473 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: maybe that's the only one you know him for, which 474 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: is fine. But I also think it's because he did 475 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: such a great job at portraying that character and making 476 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: him iconic. And it's because of the wardrobe, but it's 477 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: also because of his performance and the way he played 478 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: the character that has this odd charm to it. Also 479 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: like this weird, sinister vibe, all the quirks that he 480 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: incorporated in Willie Wonka that would go on to be 481 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: replicated and imitated, sometimes poorly, with Johnny Depp and Timothy Shallowmey. 482 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: It's because of Gene Wilder. So the impact he has 483 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,239 Speaker 1: had on the role is why he is undeniably one 484 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: of the best movie castings of all time. And then 485 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: in the two thousands, I'm gonna put Daniel Radcliffe and 486 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: Emma Watson both being cast in Harry Potter, which they 487 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: kind of had similar roads to being cast in these movies. 488 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: The books were obviously incredibly successful, so casting was extensive 489 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: of they literally just had open casting calls trying to 490 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: find kids who could play these characters, and Daniel Radcliffe 491 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: was somebody who the filmmakers were impressed by not only 492 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: his performances and some other things he had acted in, 493 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: but also how he resembled and looked like Harry Potter 494 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: in the books. It was almost like the best of 495 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: both worlds because even though he was a kid, he 496 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: was really smart and articulate and could easily play the role. 497 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: But he also actually looked like Harry Potter, so he 498 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: was almost destined to play the character. And then with 499 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: Emma Watson, along the same lines with Daniel Radcliffe, they 500 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: were impressed by how confident she was, how smart she was. 501 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: She had this natural acting ability that aligned with the 502 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: character of Hermione. Now you probably ask why I didn't 503 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: include Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. Again, I think that 504 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: is a casting that I could see somebody else in 505 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: that role. I think there's an alternate timeline somewhere where 506 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: somebody else is cast in that role and it's actually 507 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: the right person meant to be playing his character, and 508 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: we're living in the timeline where Rupert Grind played Ron Weasley. 509 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: I don't even know who Rupert Grint is, but that's 510 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: probably just me and Finally, let's go all the way 511 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: back to superhero movies. I have JK. Simmons as Jay 512 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: Jonah Jamison and Spider Man, and he is one of 513 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: the only characters in Spider Man who has constantly been 514 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: the same person. J Jonah Jamison was not only in 515 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: the Toby maguire Spider Man movies, but he is so 516 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: good that they brought him back as j Jonah Jamison 517 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: in the Tom Holland Spider Man movies. He was cast 518 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: after director Sam Raimi saw his performance in a movie 519 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: called The Gift and they thought he had the perfect 520 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: combination of humor and intensity, which, oh man, J Jonah 521 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: Jamison is all about the intensity and about that incredible haircut. 522 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: J Jonah Jamison has a haircut they can really set 523 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: your watch too. But I think the most important thing 524 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: about him is that big booming voice that he has 525 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: when he's yelling about Spider Man. JK. Simmons captures that perfectly, 526 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: and he is always one of the best things out 527 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 1: of any Spider Man movie. And to wrap this up, 528 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: I had more on my list, and I'll go through 529 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: them in about thirty seconds without a whole lot of depths, 530 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: but just because I wanted to include them on this list. 531 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: Here we go. Javier Bardem as Anton Sugar and No 532 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: Country for Old Men, James Earl Jones as Mufassa in 533 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: The Lion King al Pacino with Tony Montana in Scarface, 534 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator in Terminator, galal Gado as 535 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: Wonder Woman, Jennifer Lawrence as Catnus Eberdeen in The Hunger Games, 536 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: Robin william as the Genie and Aladdin, and Henry cavill 537 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: as Superman in Man of Steel. Well come back, I'll 538 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: give my spoiler free review of Madam Webb, and in 539 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: the trailer park we'll talk about Deadpool and Wolverine. All right, 540 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: let's get into it. A spoiler free review of Madam Webb, 541 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: starring Dakota Johnson. This is a standalone, quote unquote superhero movie. 542 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: She plays a paramedic who discovers she has the ability 543 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: to see into the future, and she's connected with these 544 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: three other teenagers and they are trying to avoid being 545 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: killed by this really weird villain who has a long 546 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: history with the mom of Dakota Johnson. And that is 547 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: really all the story that is in this movie. Oh 548 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: my gosh, Okay, I'm gonna compose myself. The thing about 549 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: this movie, and what I've shared with you on this podcast, 550 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: is that I don't like to read reviews and I 551 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: will not seek them out going into a movie. I 552 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: don't listen to anybody else on TikTok, which I know 553 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: is probably contradicting myself, because I want you to listen 554 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: to me, but I don't do it as a reviewer 555 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: because I don't want my thoughts tainted by somebody else. 556 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to even resemble an opinion that somebody 557 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: else has because then it won't feel like me. So 558 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: I still did not read any individual review. I didn't 559 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: listen to anybody on TikTok, but it was hard to 560 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: avoid all of the articles and Rotten Tomatoes posting NonStop 561 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: and just seeing the headlines, which is really all I 562 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: saw going into this movie. And I feel like my 563 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: perception of the movie was already tainted because people are 564 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: calling this movie the worst Marvel movie of all time. 565 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: They are dragging Dakota Johnson, they are dragging the director, 566 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: and I feel like when that happens, people tend to 567 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: pile up and with all these movie influencers and other 568 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: YouTubers and podcasters. I often feel like sometimes one person 569 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: who is established has an opinion, and everybody else who 570 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: kind of runs in that same circle starts having that 571 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: same opinion because they don't want to look like, Oh, 572 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: if they had that opinion and I actually liked it, 573 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: what would that say about me? I don't care about that. 574 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: If I genuinely like this movie, I would tell you. 575 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: But going into this movie, I already had this perception 576 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: that it was going to be so bad, so I 577 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: was bracing for impact. I was expecting to watch the 578 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: worst garbage of all time. And in the past couple 579 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: of years, they have been maybe two or three movies, 580 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: maybe four, that I've wanted to walk out of, and 581 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: I was prepared to have that kind of emotion going 582 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: into this movie. And maybe it's because I had that 583 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: brace for impact mentality. Then I don't think it was 584 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: as bad as I was expecting it to be. I 585 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 1: was expecting it to be a turd on the screen, 586 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: and that is not exactly what happened. Did I love 587 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: the movie by no means was it a good movie? No? 588 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: But I do think there is kind of an audience 589 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: for this movie. Bear with me, now, look at me. 590 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube or if you're a longtime listener, 591 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: here part of the movie crew. You know I love 592 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,719 Speaker 1: Spider Man. Have this entire studio decked out in Spider 593 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: Man comics. I am wearing my Spider Man shirt today. 594 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: I think that is who this movie was for now. 595 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: This movie comes to us from the Sony Spider Verse, 596 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: not the MCU, which is another big issue. They have 597 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: hered coda. Johnson herself might have not even known that 598 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: she wasn't joining the MCU. She was joining the Sony 599 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: Spider Verse, two very different things. One of them gives 600 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: us the Avengers, gives us Iron Man all of those, 601 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: and the other one has given us in recent years 602 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: Venom Morbius and now Madam Webb. So it is viewed 603 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: as being the lower tier Marvel. But I feel as 604 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: a just general movie goo where you might not know 605 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: that my wife Kelsey, who is as in tune with 606 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: movies as much as I am, didn't really know the difference. 607 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: Dakota Johnson herself and all the press she did for 608 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: this movie, I am convinced she thought she was a 609 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: part of the MCU. There's this whole theory going on 610 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: of is the Sony Spider Verse kind of tricking actors 611 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: into thinking they're joining the MCU, thinking they're gonna be 612 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: in a Marvel movie and have the same kind of 613 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: prestige that comes along with taking one of those roles. 614 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that's completely true, because there has to 615 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: be agents, there has to be managers, there has to 616 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: be somebody telling these actors, hey, you're joining the Sony side, 617 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be on the Disney side. But in 618 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: all the interviews that Dakota Johnson gave, she was talking 619 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: about how all the movies are connected. She's not that 620 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: familiar with Marvel movies. She doesn't really know a whole 621 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: lot of female Marvel superheroes. One of my favorite clips 622 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: was somebody giving her an actual comic of Madam Webb 623 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: and she was like, oh boy, because she is not 624 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: familiar with the source material. I don't think she's ever 625 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: watched a Marvel movie, to be honest, And I feel 626 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: like that's also why some nerds like myself are a 627 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: little bit hurt, because we think when actors take on 628 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 1: these roles, they spend all this time doing research, reading comics, 629 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: watching all the other movies. At the end of the day, 630 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: they are actors. They are the elite of Hollywood. They 631 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: don't watch these movies like we do. They are not 632 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: nerds like us. Despite the amount of effort that we 633 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: want them to put into it, they're not going to 634 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: do it. For some of these actors, it is merely 635 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: a paycheck and then sometimes just a step to take 636 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: on another project. I really got that perception from Dakota Johnson, 637 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: and I like her as an actor. I've come on 638 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: and defended her and said that she is one of 639 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: the most underrated actors in Hollywood, and it's weird that 640 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: you take on one not so great role and people 641 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: change the perception of you. I find myself struggling with 642 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: her right now because I feel like she was trying 643 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: to just be her authentic self, and interviews and all 644 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: the promotion leading up to this, I saw a lot 645 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: of people saying they wanted to cancel their tickets. She 646 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: was trying her hardest. But if you have hardcore Marvel 647 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: fans coming at you with the first edition of Madam 648 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: Webb in the comics and expecting you to know about it, 649 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: it is going to be tough. I think her team 650 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: should have trained her a little bit better on how 651 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: to answer some of these questions, because I was surprised 652 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: to see how empty the theater was that we went 653 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: to on a Friday night, a seven o'clock showing. The 654 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: theater was very, very empty. I've gone to a lot 655 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: of Friday night Thursday night showings for movies that have 656 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: been kind of wishy watching. Even Argyle had more of 657 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: an audience in there. It was crazy to me how 658 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: much of an influence that all these negative reviews had 659 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: on this movie, because in my heart, I don't think 660 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: it's an all out just terrible, terrible movie. It has 661 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: a lot of issues that I want to get into now, 662 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: but I think a lot of it roots from the 663 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: eighty million dollar price tag, which Dakota Johnson was paid 664 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: five million dollars for this role, and the eighty million 665 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: dollar budget really shows in this film because we were 666 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: teased in the trailer with all of this action. Sidney 667 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: Sweeney in the suit. They had her in the promo 668 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: talking about how she wanted her character Julia to repel 669 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: because it was iconic. There was very little action in 670 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: the suits in this movie, and they tried to disguise 671 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: it with a story that was really just paper thin. 672 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 1: You would drop this thing in water and it would 673 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: dissipate because the story was so weak. It tried to 674 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: create this mystery with Madam Webb developing her powers of 675 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: predicting the future and trying to figure out her past 676 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: with their mom. And it also just teas ues with 677 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: Spider Man being connected with this story, which I think 678 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: that is who this movie was said to be for, 679 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 1: was hardcore Spider Man fans like myself. We're gonna go 680 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: watch these movies because we just want any kind of 681 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: inkling of our favorite web Slinger. And they were just 682 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of throwing it out there so randomly and so 683 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: just like here you go, you nerds. And that is 684 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: exactly how I felt watching this movie that Sony, in 685 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: association with Marvel thinks that us nerds will just go 686 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: watch anything. Ah, they'll take it all in and we'll 687 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: make some money off of it. Throw eighty million dollars. 688 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: We'll make that money back. It was not the case here, 689 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: And I want to criticize the coda Johnson so hard 690 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: for giving a very dull performance. She was trying her all, 691 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 1: she was giving it her best effort, but I almost 692 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: felt like I was still watching her On Saturday Night Live, 693 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: she gave an interview two weeks before the premiere, saying, 694 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's good or not. I was 695 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: acting on a blue screen for a majority of the film. 696 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: It felt weird. All of these warning signs I saw 697 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: going into this film. It was gonna be really hard 698 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: to come back from that, and that is what you 699 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: have here. She is trying her all to act her 700 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: way out of a hole, but she has no tolls 701 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: around her. The villain in this movie, his dialogue felt 702 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: so ai generated and I don't know what this villain 703 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: personality was. Now. I don't think this is one of 704 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: the worst superhero movies of all time, but it definitely 705 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: has the worst super villain of all time, miserable. I 706 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: was watching his performance because it was like a cliche 707 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: nineties villain that you would make fun of it in 708 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 1: Austin Powers movie. It was so bad, and he even 709 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: had like this secret layer with somebody behind the chair 710 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: running all of these monitoring systems. It was awful, worst 711 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: super villain of all time, and the reason I wouldn't 712 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: call it a worst superhero movie of all time because 713 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: it is hardly that Madam Webb in this movie is 714 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: not a superhero. It is all the standalone backstory leading 715 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: up to the superhero moment, and then it cuts you off. 716 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: That's enough for you. You're not getting that anything that 717 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: started to resemble anything from the source material from the 718 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: comic was left out of this movie except for one detail, 719 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: and by the time we got to that, it felt 720 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 1: so awkward and so off putting that it made zero sense. 721 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: Probably thirty minutes worth of story spread out over an 722 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: hour and forty five minutes, maybe a little bit over, 723 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: and you could tell in this movie it was like 724 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: they used that editing tool where you stretch something out 725 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: because you don't have enough material. That is what they did. 726 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: There were scenes where they were driving, nothing being said, 727 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: nothing happening, and they just put this very generic score 728 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: over it and gave about a thirty second buffer to 729 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: get to the next scene. It felt like they had 730 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: a script and they were trying to meet a certain 731 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: word count, Like back in eighth grade when I was 732 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: trying to write a paper that needed to be three 733 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: pages long, and I'm like, all right, let's just instead 734 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: of using contractions, you start spelling out some words that 735 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 1: is what this movie was doing, and it was completely noticeable. 736 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: They thought I wasn't gonna catch it, and I think 737 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: it goes without saying, but the eighty million dollar budget 738 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: also hurt the visual effects. So when it comes down 739 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: to it, this movie was just hard to take seriously 740 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 1: because it was soap opera level acting, two thousands video 741 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,919 Speaker 1: game graphics, and a cheesy story with no mystery whatsoever 742 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: that I didn't really care what was going to happen 743 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: to these characters. Nothing heroic happened. There wasn't any superhero action. 744 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: It was really just to Coda Johnson learning how to 745 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: predict the future and running away from the villain the 746 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 1: entire time. And it was the fact that nobody in 747 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: this movie questioned anything. They just went along for the 748 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: ride and then got there and we're like, okay, I 749 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: guess we're just following to Coda Johnson throughout this entire movie. 750 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like my parents whenever they told 751 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 1: me I'm not angry with you, but I'm disappointed. It 752 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: almost just felt worse when they were just disappointed in you. 753 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: That is how I felt about this movie. Because I'm 754 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,720 Speaker 1: such a big Spider Man fan and I still don't 755 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: know why they thought Madam Webb is one character that 756 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: needs their own movie. They should have just put Sidney 757 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: Sweeney in the Spider Woman's suit and called it a day. 758 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: That would have been a more entertaining movie. However, I'll 759 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: go back to the last bad movie I talked about, 760 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: which was Argyle. I thought that movie obviously wasn't worth 761 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: the theay experience, but also wasn't worth streaming for Madam 762 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: Webb since it got so much hate, and since I 763 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: still dedicated myself to watching it so I could share 764 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: my honest thoughts with you. I still think when it 765 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: goes to streaming, maybe whenever it's available for free on Netflix, 766 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: just give it a watch to get a perspective on 767 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: exactly what went wrong here. So if you are a 768 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: die hard Marvel fan, a die hard Spider Man fan, 769 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: I would still not recommend. Maybe it's kind of like 770 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: when you watch something bad to realize how bad it is. 771 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: That is the only reason I would say it is 772 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: worthy of a stream because this will be referenced a 773 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: lot as being one of the worst superhero movies of 774 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: all time, even though I don't think it's the worst 775 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: of all time. I've seen some really bad, awful movies. 776 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, DC, and I still don't know 777 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: why Marvel allows this to put out such an inferior 778 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: product in association with their name, because people sometimes don't 779 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: know the difference. That being said, for Madam Webb, I 780 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: give it one point five out of five. Oh, I 781 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: don't even care to be creative here. They didn't care 782 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 1: to be creative. Let's just do red jackets that Dakota 783 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: Johnson was wearing awkwardly in this entire movie. 784 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike Traylor, Paul. 785 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: Because the MCU needs saving. That is the question. I've 786 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: been a fan of the MSU for a very long time. 787 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: I've stood by them through thick and thin, and I've 788 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: been critical of their work at times, but at the 789 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: core of my being, I still have always believed in them. 790 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that they need saving. What I 791 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: expressed was they needed to slow down and really focus 792 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,919 Speaker 1: on putting out just one or two movies a year 793 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: until we can get rid of all these people saying 794 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: they're superhero fatigue and how quickly Marvel fans are generally 795 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: to just turn on the MCU because just last year, 796 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: we were given one of the best movies from Marvel 797 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: with Guardians of the Galaxy three, and everybody was raving 798 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: about it. And then they put out the Marvels in 799 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,240 Speaker 1: November and everybody's like, ah, it's all over, It's all over. 800 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: And now that the dead Pole and Wolverine trailer has dropped, 801 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,720 Speaker 1: everybody's like, ah, the MCU is back. So what side 802 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: are you on. I've always been on the Marvel's side, 803 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 1: but as big of a fan as you are, you 804 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,879 Speaker 1: always criticize some of the movies you don't love as much. 805 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: But getting into dead Pool and Wolverine, there are so 806 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: many things to be excited about, and if the MCU 807 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: did need saving, this would be the movie to do it. 808 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: Not only just this film alone, but I think it's 809 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: gonna set up an entire storyline in the MCU. So 810 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into all that. The movie is coming 811 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: out on July twenty sixth, and initially I thought this 812 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: movie was just gonna be called Deadpool three. Now that 813 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: it's dead Pool and Wolverine that hasn't been even more 814 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: excited because he's gonna play such a bigger role in 815 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: this movie. Where I thought it could have just been 816 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: a cameo. But now, oh man, there's a lot to 817 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: dive into. So before I get into more about Deadpool 818 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: and Wolverine, here's just a little bit of the trailer. 819 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: Waite wolfin Who's asking whoa whoa? 820 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? Whoa? 821 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: Whoa whoa? Is that supposed to be scary? Pegging isn't 822 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: new for me, friend, though, but it is for Disney. 823 00:45:54,600 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 2: Wait, you are special, Zeel Chompson, to be a hero 824 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 2: among heroes. 825 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: I smell when you're stepping in sense your little cinematic 826 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: universe is about to change forever. 827 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 2: I'm the Messiah, I am Marvel Jesus. 828 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 1: So this trailer had everything I was expecting from Deadpool. 829 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: You have the humor, you have the naughty language, and 830 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 1: you have the violence. And I think for me personally, 831 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: the comedy in Deadpool is wearing on me a little bit. 832 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: I know that's what people love about the character, his 833 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: sarcastic humor, which was greatly reflected in the comics, and 834 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds does an amazing job at doing it. But 835 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: I don't really want to go into another Deadpool movie 836 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: to laugh. What I really find the most entertaining about 837 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: these movies is the R rating and the commitment to 838 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 1: really gory and really brutal superhero violence, which we don't 839 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: really get anywhere else. I think that's what made the 840 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 1: first movie so groundbreaking, was it showing blood and guts 841 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: and being able to go there. And this is Disney's 842 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 1: first R rated Marvel movie now that Deadpool is no 843 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: longer a Fox property, and it's Deadpool's introduction into the MCU, 844 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: which is the other thing that Deadpool plays into a 845 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,320 Speaker 1: lot is the total medi quality of all the movies 846 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: and being so self aware. We see it in this 847 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: trailer because what this movie is going to be about 848 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: that we heard there. Deadpool is going to be traveling 849 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 1: through the multiverse. He finds himself in a situation where 850 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: he is dealing with the TVA, which, if you are 851 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: not familiar with the Disney Plus show Loki, they are 852 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: essentially the guardians of the timeline. So when you have 853 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: all these superheroes and people traveling through all the timelines, 854 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: the TVA is the one who regulate that and keep 855 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: things from turning into chaos. So I think that's an 856 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 1: interesting way to connect Deadpool into them mainly because this 857 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: means that they can really play around bringing back characters, 858 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: which is what we see in this trailer. You have 859 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 1: characters coming out the Wazoo, from Fox, Properties, from the MCU, 860 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: and it's all going to be combined into one movie 861 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: to create an all star list of characters, and Hugh 862 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 1: Jackman returning as a more comic book accurate version of 863 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: the character. So, going back to talking about how meta 864 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,240 Speaker 1: this movie is going to be, you have the TVA 865 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: going after Deadpool. It seems to be he is retired. 866 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: He is just trying to live a normal life. And 867 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: the opening part of this trailer you don't see him 868 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: in the Deadpool costume. You see him in this weird 869 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: wig and just hanging out with all of his friends, 870 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: and then they come to him with this plan of 871 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: inviting him to join the ranks of all the big 872 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,320 Speaker 1: Marvel superheroes. When looking at the TVs, you see Captain America, 873 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: you see Hulk, you see Thor, it seems to be 874 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 1: something that Deadpool has dreamed of of maybe being a 875 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: part of the Avengers. And then instead of saying that 876 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: he's good to do that, he calls out saying that 877 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: he is ready to be a part of Marvel. You 878 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: even get a glimpse later in the trailer of the 879 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: twentieth century Fox logo in shambles now that that is 880 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: no longer a thing. So I think the fun in 881 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: this movie is going to be Deadpool traveling around different 882 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 1: timelines in the multiverse and all the characters he is 883 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: going to interact with. You get glimpses of what could 884 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: be a Professor X in this trailer. You also see Pyro. 885 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: You get a line of Aaron Stanford saying, god, I 886 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 1: love this part, which he played Pyro in X two 887 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: and X Men in the Last Stand. So Deadpoole obviously 888 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: has a deep connection with the X Men, and I 889 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: think that is what a lot of MCU fans have 890 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,719 Speaker 1: been really wanting to see in the MCU. So it 891 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: looks like we're going to get a lot of that. 892 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 1: You also got a glimpse of a character that appears 893 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: to be Doctor Doom, but if you really take a 894 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 1: look at it, it's really more of a Doctor Doom 895 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 1: inspired outfit. I don't think they're ready to introduce him 896 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: just yet. The thing that has me the most excited 897 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: where a couple of Easter eggs in reference to Secret 898 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 1: Wars and the last scene of this trailer, whenever Deadpool 899 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: is lying on the ground, you see to the right 900 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: of him a copy of Secret Wars, the comic book, 901 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: laying next to him, kind of cuing us out thinking, Okay, 902 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: this is going to lead to something much bigger, either 903 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: the next Avengers or the next Secret Wars movies, and 904 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: thinking that Deadpool and Wolverine could be a part of 905 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: that is one of the most exciting things to come 906 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,320 Speaker 1: of this. And I don't want to get too ahead 907 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: of ourselves and thinking that this movie is going to 908 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: crush therefore setting up a lot of other things, But 909 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: that just has me really excited thinking about all the 910 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: characters that could be coming together on screen for one new, 911 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 1: amazing movie that we really haven't had that feeling since 912 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: Avengers Endgame. So that's probably the thing I'm the most 913 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: excited about from this trailer as far as things to come. 914 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: But other things that this movie could contain. There are 915 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: some little glimpses and maybe rumors of the Hulk being 916 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,800 Speaker 1: in this movie. I don't know what Hulk in particular 917 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 1: is going to be, but with them going through the 918 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: depths of the multiverse, I mean, the easy answer would 919 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 1: be Mark Ruffalo, although he did come out recently saying 920 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: that he is not going to be a part of 921 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,319 Speaker 1: Captain America four. I would really push for it being 922 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: Edward Norton's Hulk, who I feel got the raw end 923 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: of the deal in the MCU. I have a deep 924 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: love for that movie, even though it is seen by 925 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: so many fans as one of the worst movies in 926 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: the MCU. I just love the character, the incredible Hulk, 927 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: and I just think he needs his really good introduction 928 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: on the big screen. That for me, I would hope 929 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 1: to lead to another solo movie that they get the 930 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 1: character right. So there is some evidence in the trailer 931 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: that we could have a whole cameo. You see some 932 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 1: glimpses of thor Ragnarok, which hlpe was a big part 933 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: of that movie. But I think the one scene in 934 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: particular is there's a moment where it is panning to 935 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 1: a Wolverine sitting at a table. You get a real 936 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: quick glimpse at him and he's wearing this white tuxedo, 937 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: which that is a reference to Wolverine Issue eight from 938 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,280 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, where it's Hulk and Wolverine teaming up together, 939 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: and the cover feed them both in white tuxedos leaning 940 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: on each other. So I think that would be an 941 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 1: awesome thing to incorporate. And that is really what I 942 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,320 Speaker 1: love about this trailer in this movie. Is it really 943 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 1: honing in on the source material, which whenever that big 944 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: article came out last year from Variety stating how bad 945 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 1: of a shape that the MCU was in along the 946 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 1: lines of me saying that they needed to reduce the 947 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: amount of films, I said, they needed to talk to 948 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: some nerds and go back to the source material. And 949 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: that is what it looks like they did in this trailer, 950 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: just with all of these references. I mean, putting a 951 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 1: Secret Wars issue in there is exactly what I'm talking about. 952 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: Putting references to iconic comic book covers in the trailer. 953 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: That is what I need more of. And then we 954 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 1: get another small glimpse of Wolverine in the suit, which 955 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 1: when that first image came out, I was not a 956 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 1: big fan of it because it looks like a motocross suit. 957 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,719 Speaker 1: I get they're trying to make him look similar to 958 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: Deadpool and it's supposed to be the most comic accurate 959 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,439 Speaker 1: version Wolverine. I guess I wanted to look a little 960 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: bit more cartoonish and they're going for a little bit 961 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: more of a sense of realism. And I was hoping 962 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 1: to have a full suit reveal in this trailer, but 963 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: I guess they're really trying to keep that a surprise, 964 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: which I'm okay with. You really only get a glimpse 965 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: of the back of it and action just a little 966 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,840 Speaker 1: bit after Wolverine brandishes his claws and then kind of 967 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: scoops up Deadpool there, but then it cuts to the title. 968 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of things to be excited 969 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: about when it comes to this movie. I cannot wait 970 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 1: to see it on July twenty sixth, mainly so all 971 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: the Marvel haters will have nothing else to say but 972 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 1: retreat back to their basements. 973 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of Movie by Tramer par. 974 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: And that is going to do it for another episode 975 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,879 Speaker 1: here of the podcast.
