1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. I 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike, and we have a brand 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: new Adam Sandler movie to talk about this week, and 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: it's inspired my topic. I want to share with you 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: my top five favorite Adam Sandler movies of all time 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: and my top five worst. So I feel since he 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: is my favorite comedic actor, I have the right to 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: look at both sides of the spectrum because he's done 9 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: so many movies. Well granted, some of them aren't going 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: to be the best. And in the trailer park we 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: have the first look at Disney's Pinocchio, which is gonna 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: get very confusing because Disney is putting out of Pinocchio 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: and Netflix is putting out a Pinocchio And if we 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: even need one Pinocchio movie now in so, shout out 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning movie crew. You guys already know 16 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: what this is. Let's talk movies. In a world where 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man stands 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: is basically like a walking audience. David Who's classes from 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: the Nashville Podcast networkinges movie movie Podlas. Adam Sandler has 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: been my favorite comedic actor since I was a kid. 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I grew up watching him on Saturday Night Live, and 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: I feel like he has had the most dominant movie 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: career to come out of Saturday Night Live, arguably against 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. But I just feel like Adam Sandler's has 27 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: spawned over several different decades. I grew up with him 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: in the nineties, so I feel as a millennial, I 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: have my core favorite Adam Sandler movies. If you were 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: born in the two thousands, you probably have a whole 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: different set of Adam Sandler movies. And now gen Z 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: has a completely different outlook on Adam Sandler as he 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: starts to get into more dramatic roles, which I do 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: really love the more serious side of Adam Sandler. I 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: don't really think that they have enough to make it 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: into my top five, which I'll get into right now, 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: but I'll talk about it more in the movie review. 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: But I do like that he's not afraid to take 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: a step in the direction of make a more serious 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: movie for maybe a whole different type of movie fan, 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: but still give back to those people who want to 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: just see zany Adam Sandler. But I want to start 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: first with my top five favorite Adam Sandler movies, and 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: at number five I went with from two thousand and 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: five The Longest Yard. And this movie is a remake 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: and probably a rare case at least for me, as 47 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: a remake that is better than the original. And I 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: think it's all because of the cast. You not only 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: have Adam Sandler, but you have Chris Rock who two 50 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: of the biggest comedians ever in one movie, and surprisingly 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: it works really well. I really wish they would just 52 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: do more good movies together. They have been in a lot. 53 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: But on top of that, in the cast, you also 54 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: have Burt Reynolds who came back from the original. You 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: have Terry Crews as cheeseburger Eddie, who is one of 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: my favorite characters in Eddie Adam Sandler movie. You also 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: have Nellie Stone Cold, Steve Austin, Michael Irvin, Tracy Morgan, 58 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: Kevin Nash Goldberg. There's so many funny people in this 59 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: movie that just make it one of my most rewatched 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movies. The movie costs ninety million dollars to 61 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: make and made a hundred and ninety one million dollars 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: at the box office. And I feel like when this 63 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: movie came out, it was almost at like the height 64 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: of Adam Sandler's career. The year following this, in two 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: thousand and six, he came out with Click, and I 66 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: kind of feel like after Click, it was all like 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: a steady de Klein. He started to put out movies 68 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: that I wasn't the biggest fan of. Or maybe it 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: was just that I was getting a little bit older, 70 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more mature, and he was kind of 71 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: staying the same over the year, so he was just 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: giving everybody what he kind of was known for. Maybe 73 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: I just didn't find it it's funny anymore. But now 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: he's kind of on the rise back again. So from 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and five at number five is the longest yard. 76 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: At number four, I went with uncut gems. This was 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler's role of a lifetime, and I hate that 78 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: he got so close and so deserving of a Best 79 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Actor nomination at the Oscars that he didn't get it. 80 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: I know, he got another award that was kind of 81 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: a constellation prize, and I can only imagine what it's 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: like to have a career as prosperous as he has, 83 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: and to be in nineteen competing with all these other 84 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: major movies that were really so dynamic that year. I 85 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: think we'll look back in like ten years and see 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: how great of a year of film was. When you 87 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: have movies like Parasite, The Irishman, Joker, Once upon a 88 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: Time in Hollywood, all these great movies come out, and 89 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: Uncut Gems, this low budget indie movie, has as big 90 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: of an impact as all these other major blockbusters, and 91 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: a credit that largely due to the directors, the Safti Brothers. 92 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: But Adam Sandlich's performance in this and him being such 93 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: a big name attached to an indie movie movie, and 94 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of it is that you either 95 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: love or hate Uncut Gems. It does really invoke this 96 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: emotion of anxiety, and his character is so gritty and 97 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: you can almost just hate him just by watching him. 98 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: But there was something just so satisfying about that movie 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: going experience for me and made me love it so much, 100 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: and not only one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies, 101 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: but one of my favorite movies of all time, probably 102 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: at least in the top which is pretty good for me. 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: So at number four I would put Uncut Gems at 104 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: number three. I'm going with from Happy Gilmore, and I 105 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 1: think it's because he is such a big sports fan 106 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: that he has really made some of the best sports 107 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: comedy movies of all time. I mean, just in my list. 108 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that before I made this, but 109 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore being a golf movie and The Longest Yard 110 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: being a football movie, and now he just put out 111 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: a basketball movie. Basically, Adam Sandlers should just cover and 112 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: do every single sport. But Happy Gilmore. I don't think 113 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: people realize how much of a comedic influence this movie 114 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: had on what it was to make a great comedy 115 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: in the nineties. I felt like this was his defining role, 116 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: and if it wouldn't have been as successful as it was, 117 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: we maybe wouldn't have had all the other Adam Sandler 118 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: movies that we do. Movie cost twelve million dollars to 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: make and made thirty eight million dollars in the United 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: States alone, and really, when you look at that box 121 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: office margin, it's not the most successful comedy of all time. 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: It's just insane how much of a lasting power that 123 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: this movie has had that you almost don't have to 124 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: pay attention to that box office number. It feels a 125 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: little bit insignificant because everybody I know who has seen 126 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: an Adam Sandler movie has probably seen Happy Gilmore. So 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: it kind of goes back to this idea of you 128 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: don't have to see all your favorite movies in theaters 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: for them to it with you forever. We had so 130 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: many great characters in this movie, from Chubbs shoot m McGavin. 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: You have the infamous fight scene with Bob Barker. Do 132 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: you have the dude who tries to sabotage him on 133 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: the golf course yelling jackass, which I feel is something 134 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: we all probably quote. And then who could forget the 135 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: love interest Julie Bowen? Sometimes I do forget she was 136 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: in this movie. And I feel like if there was 137 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: any movie that Adam Sandler should reprise his role and 138 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: do a sequel, to which he hasn't done. A whole 139 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: lot of he does one character makes the movie, doesn't 140 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: really revisit it unless it's like a grown ups movie, 141 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: which is probably a whole different reason because he just 142 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: likes making movies with his friends and going on vacation basically. 143 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: But I feel like if one movie could have success 144 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: as a sequel, it would be Happy Gilmore, So I 145 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: put that one at number three. At number two. The 146 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: movie that came just the year prior to Happy Gilmore 147 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: from is Billy Madison, which was one of my favorite 148 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: comedies as a kid. I feel like this is the 149 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: movie that's the most character defining for him. All of 150 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: the little sandlerisms and his quirky things that he did 151 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: that we all kind of imitate. It's all in this movie. 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: This movie has the best quotes, some of the funniest 153 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: memorable scenes. You also have another great cast in this movie, 154 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: everybody from Norm McDonald to Chris Farley and Bridget Wilson. 155 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,239 Speaker 1: And not only did Adam Sandler star in this movie, 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: he also co wrote the script and it was Norm 157 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: McDonald's film debut. So I felt like this kind of 158 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: kicked off the start of Adam Sandler putting his friends 159 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: in his movies. And even though the movie debut at 160 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: number one at the box office when it first came out, 161 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: it got a lot of mixed reviews, which looking back 162 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: on it now, you have to be crazy to say 163 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: that this isn't one of the best and one of 164 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: the funniest movies. So I put that one at number two, 165 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: and at number one, this has just been my favorite 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: of his films for a very long time, the one 167 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: I go back and watch the most, and usually the 168 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: one I have to defend the most. That because it's 169 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: my favorite, some people question my taste. But at number one, 170 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: I'm going with Big Daddy. If I could only take 171 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: one Adam Sandler movie with me, world is ending, you 172 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: can only bring one of these movies with you, I 173 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: am bringing Big Daddy. I feel like out of all 174 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: of his movies, it is the most timeless. I feel 175 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: like it's the funniest. It has the best cast with 176 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: John Stewart, Leslie Man, Rob Schneider, and then you have 177 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: his usual friends, Alan Covert, who was also in Happy 178 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: Gilmore as his caddie, Peter Dante, who was also in 179 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: one of my favorite Happy Madison movies, Grandma's Boy, and 180 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: of course the one and only Steve Bushmi. But without 181 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: a doubt, this is the one I've seen the most 182 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: and just go back to and enjoy as much as 183 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I did probably the first time. And it's also cool 184 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: to go back and see Cole and Dylan Sprouse in 185 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: this long before Zack and Cody, long before either of 186 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: them were as successful as they are now, Like, who 187 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: would have thought that? Because I think what it takes 188 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: to have an overall perfect Adam Sandler movie is you 189 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: have to have the comedy, which Big Daddy has, And 190 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: where this one goes a step further is having that 191 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: emotional story, which it really walks that fine line of 192 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: not being too dramatic at all, but having little moments 193 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: where it kind of gets you in the fields where 194 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: him and Julian's aret to form this bond even though 195 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: they met on a ridiculous thing that would never happen 196 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: in the real world, and if this movie was made now, 197 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: he would probably just end up in jail at the 198 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: end of this. But for the sake of the movie 199 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: that came out in the nineties, you start to feel 200 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: this emotional attachment to both of these characters. And in 201 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: the end it almost doesn't really work out perfect for 202 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: either of them, because they of course end up being 203 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: ripped apart. But that moment where he's getting taken away 204 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: by Child Protective Services and is you know, yelling to 205 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: him but I can whine my own ass. Like as 206 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: dumb and funny as that was, it still kind of 207 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: hits you there. And then in all of that it 208 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: manages to work in a believable love story. So I 209 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: just feel like Big Daddy is the perfect Adam Sandler movie. 210 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: It's the most timeless. It's one that will still make 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: me laugh and probably still make me get a little 212 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: bit emotional after watching. So that is why I put 213 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: it at number one, and I'm willing to fight you 214 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: on that before I get into my top five worst, 215 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: some honorable mentions. At number six, I would have put 216 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: The water Boy at number seven. I would have put 217 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: my favorite rom com, The Wedding Singer, at number eight. 218 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: I would have put air Heads, which is the one 219 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: where they all break into the radio station, came out 220 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: in ninety four, Brendan Fraser Sandler and Steve Bushemy another 221 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: really good one. At number nine. I would have put 222 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: Funny People from two thousand and nine. That honestly would 223 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: have came in at number five if it weren't over 224 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: two hours. That movie is about twenty six minutes too long, 225 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: but hey, je apatow, am I right? And then at 226 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: number ten, I would have put Click from two thousand 227 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: and six, So that'll round out the top ten. But 228 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: now let's get into the worst movies, and I believe 229 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: these are the worst for different reasons. Some of these 230 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: have had a little bit higher expectations on. Some of 231 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: these were just downright bad. So there may be worse 232 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: ones in your opinion, but these are the worst to me, 233 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. At number five from two thousand, 234 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: I put Little Nikki, and I think it's because he 235 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: was having such a great moment coming off of Big Daddy. 236 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: He was just putting out a good movie after good movie, 237 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: and they were all funny. I just didn't fully get 238 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: Little Nikki. I remember wanting to like it, but I 239 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: just overall didn't like the character and probably haven't watched 240 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: that movie since two thousand again, so never really got 241 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: into that one. That's at number five. At number four 242 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: from two thousand and three, I went with the movie 243 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: he did with Jack Nicholson, Anger Management. I remember going 244 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: to see this movie in theaters and being pretty bored, 245 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: which is really for me in an Adam Sandler movie. 246 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: It just wasn't very funny to me. I didn't really 247 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: like the premise, and it's probably one of the most 248 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: forgettable Adam Sandler movies of all time. So I put 249 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it at number four because I did have some high 250 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: expectations going into it and it just kind of let 251 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: me down. At number three. Now, this is my mom's 252 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: favorite Adam Sandler movie. Now, my mom is from Mexico. 253 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: She doesn't watch a whole lot of movies at all, 254 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: and when she does watch something, she is really into 255 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: horror movies, which I recently learned, and she also really 256 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: loves comedies that have any kind of Mexican American actor 257 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: in it. And Jack and Joe has Anio the Bes 258 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: who is a huge actor to my mom, one of 259 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: her favorites, and I think that's why she loves the movie. 260 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: It's one of the few movies that she owns on DVD. 261 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: And I love my mom, and I have probably seen 262 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: this movie three or four times because she's like, hey, 263 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: let's watch Click, and she has parts of the movie 264 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: that she quotes. So for that reason, it does hold 265 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: a special place in my heart to know that a 266 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: movie that we probably all think is dumb, that some 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: people can find enjoyable. And I think that has really 268 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of given me some perspective on some Adam Sandler 269 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: movies that that you have left on this list. It's 270 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: just because we find it dumb and funny, they are 271 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: still successful to somebody, and if it can make someone happy, 272 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: let it make someone happy. My mom loves it, and 273 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: she would hate that I put it in the worst list, 274 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: but at number three I went with Jack and Jill 275 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: at number two is from The Ridiculous Six and it's 276 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: a movie that I probably could have turned off because 277 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: it was on Netflix, but there was something in me 278 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: just allowed me to keep watching it because it was 279 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: so bad that I almost found it enjoyable, which is 280 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: weird because I don't think it's one of those movies 281 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: that it's so bad it's good kind of campy style. 282 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: For that reason, it was just so not great and 283 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: not funny that it made it kind of fun to watch. 284 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: And I think I was also so excited about the 285 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: deal Adam Sandler had with Netflix to put all these 286 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: original movies out, which have been a little bit hit 287 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: or miss. I didn't love The Ridiculous Six, but I 288 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: recently did love Huby Halloween, So maybe sometimes you just 289 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: have to be in the right state of mind to 290 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: take one of these movies in. But I put this 291 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: one at number two and at number one from two 292 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, the only Adam Sandler movie that I 293 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: feel is completely unwatchable. And it was when he got 294 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: into this kind of hyper like character driven so out 295 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: of the box type style of movies that he really 296 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: just created live action cartoon characters that were essentially caricatures 297 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: of his personality and take that and turn it all 298 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: the way up to eleven is what a lot of 299 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: the movies he put out in the late two thousand's 300 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: early twenty tens where I kind of checked out of 301 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: his movies for a little bit, and Don't Mess with 302 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: the Zohan is the only one I feel as completely unwatchable. 303 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: You get really nothing out of it, and it's almost 304 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: like a movie that he later parodies in Funny People, 305 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: where he does all like a montage of ridiculous movies 306 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: he has made. Don't Mess with the Zohan? Is that so? 307 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Does he regretted himself? Probably not, because he's still made 308 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: him a lot of money, and I think that is 309 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: what he has proven time after time after every single movie, 310 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: and as hard as it is for a movie to get, 311 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, made, I would like to ask him at 312 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: some point is did you ever just think, like man, like, 313 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: maybe halfway through filming some of these movies like I 314 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: don't know if this is the one, Like, I don't 315 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: know we should follow through with this, but anyway, that 316 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: is the list, and we'll come back and talk about 317 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: his new movie called Hustle. We'll talk about that next. 318 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: Gonna get into a movie review.

He has been a 335 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: scout for the seventies six Tiers for years and now 336 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: he is trying to get to a point in his 337 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: career where he is not on the road all the time. 338 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: He has a family, he has a daughter, and he's 339 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: always had this dream to be a coach, and now 340 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: he finds himself at a point in his career where 341 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: that is an attainable goal, but he has this obstacle 342 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: to overcome as a scout, and he's going out to 343 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: try to find a new player for the seventy sixers, 344 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: and he finds this guy in Spain who is working 345 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: as a construction worker and just finds him randomly at 346 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: a pickup game and tries to convince him to come 347 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: to the United States and then tries to convince the 348 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: seventies Sixers organization that this is the pick, like, this 349 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: is the guy they need to invest all their time, 350 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: money and energy on because he is going to be 351 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: a star. So that is overall what the movie is about. 352 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: That's what his struggle is. And I really like the 353 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: dramatic side of Adam Sandler and I also really like 354 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: the comedic side, and I thought this movie was going 355 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: to be a full on drama, But what I kind 356 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: of found is it marries the two and is a 357 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: sports drama d which I was not expecting to like 358 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: as much as I did. But the movie was done 359 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: so well that it didn't feel like it was trying 360 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: to be overtly in one of those genres. They weren't 361 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: really laying out jokes the entire time. It just worked 362 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: itself so in naturally into the life experiences, into the 363 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: life struggles that it was just kind of effortlessly funny 364 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: in a way. I felt like it was really just 365 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler almost being himself and how he would be 366 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: funny in a normal situation like this, like if he 367 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: was actually an NBA scout trying to help out a 368 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: player like this is just things he would say. He 369 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: was so natural in it that it made it really 370 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: just fun to watch the two of these actors together. 371 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: So it's Adam Sandler playing Stanley Sugarman, and the player 372 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: he is trying to recruit is the character named Bou Cruise, 373 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: and Boux Cruise in the movie has some struggles of 374 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: his own. He has a dark past. He has a 375 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: daughter and a mother that he's trying to support in Spain. 376 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: So what the movie essentially is is two people trying 377 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: to achieve their dreams. It's bow Cruise trying to come 378 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: to the United States to be in the NBA, which 379 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: has been a dream of his, not even so much 380 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: to play in the NBA, able just to have a 381 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: way out of his struggle in Spain being poor, being 382 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: a construction worker, and you come here and be able 383 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: to make a significant amount of money as an NBA 384 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: player and be able to support his family and have 385 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: things for them that they never would have imagined. So 386 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: I kind of related to that on an emotional level 387 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: of my parents coming from Mexico to the United States 388 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 1: to seek a better life for themselves. It was, in 389 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: a way the story about the American dream. And then 390 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: with the main character, Stanley Sugarman, you have a guy 391 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: in his fifties, much like Adam Sandler is, and still 392 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: realizing that he has something left to prove, which on 393 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: an entirely different level kind of hits you emotionally. Of 394 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: at least as a kid, I always thought by the 395 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: time you're fifty, you have it all figured out. You 396 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: know where you are in life and you really have 397 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: nothing left to prove. But the movie is inspirational in 398 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: a way that Adam Sandler is a guy who has 399 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: this passion in this strive to achieve something, and even 400 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: in his fifties, it's still kind of lives and burns 401 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: inside of him so much that he is willing to 402 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: risk a lot, put his family on the line in 403 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: a way, their well being to achieve this dream and 404 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: to prove people right that he has made the call 405 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: of finding this player, that all of his knowledge, over 406 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: all these years of being a scout has you know, 407 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: something to show for it, which was an inspirational thing 408 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: to see. I really liked all the cameos as well. 409 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: Even though I'm not a huge NBA fan, I do 410 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: like when movies work in people who aren't typically actors 411 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: and put him into a situation where they need to act. 412 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: Some of it was maybe a little bit apparent that 413 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: they weren't really actors, but I felt like that did 414 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: add some authenticity to this movie. I didn't need it 415 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: to be perfect. I'd rather have you know, real people 416 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: in this to make it a little bit more believable. 417 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: And I like the fact that they used a real 418 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: NBA team, And even though this isn't based on a 419 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: true story or anything. It's a fictional movie, but it 420 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of puts you in it a little bit more 421 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: knowing that it's the seventies Sixers than referencing other players 422 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: in the NBA and kind of just creating this maybe 423 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: this does exist in the world and I just don't 424 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: know about it, but yeah, it's not based on a 425 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: true story. And then also what it does a really 426 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: good job at is showing the city of Philadelphia, talking 427 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: about the sports culture there and how it's a city 428 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: that will eat you alive in sports because they are 429 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: such passionate sports fans. So I do feel like this 430 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: was the perfect city and the perfect team to do 431 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: it with. And as a Dallas Cowboys fan, I know 432 00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: how passionate the Philadelphia in any fan base I'm talking 433 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: about specifically in NFL, how the Eagles give us crap 434 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: every single season. It's our toughest competitor all the time. 435 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: But knowing how passionate that fan base is and how 436 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: much they love their team to the point where they 437 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: give them just as much hate as a rival team would, 438 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: and they kind of addressed that in the movie as well, 439 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: but I felt like it did a really good job 440 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: of personifying the city, being a love letter to the 441 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: NBA and being a love letter to the city of Philadelphia, 442 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: and then also just knowing where Adam Sandler is in 443 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: his career of I feel like he still has something 444 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: he wants to prove. Maybe it's because he did get 445 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: so close to getting that Best Oscar nomination that when 446 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: he does a role like this, in the back of 447 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: his head, maybe he's still thinking, like, you know what, 448 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: I could get there again. I could be there that close. 449 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't think this is an Oscar worthy performance at all, 450 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: but I do think a lot of people will enjoy 451 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: this movie. I think sports fan ends will really gravitate 452 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: towards this, and it became one of my favorite sports 453 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: movies pretty quickly. I was like ten minutes into this 454 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: movie and already felt like there was a lot going on, 455 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: and overall, it just does a really good job at 456 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: pacing all of the turning points in the movie and 457 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: keeping the action treading along to where you think you 458 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: kind of have it figured out, you think you have 459 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: all the hurdles, and then there's another one, and then 460 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: there's another one, and then there's another one, and then 461 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: by the end of it, you feel completely fulfilled, like 462 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: all questions were answered and everything made sense in the 463 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: entire movie and was really kind of working to say something. 464 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: So I would give Hustle and Easy four out of 465 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: five basketballs. I would say it would hang right outside 466 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: of the top ten Adam Sandler movies for me. So 467 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: if you want to check it out, depending on when 468 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: you're listening to this episode, it hits Netflix on June eight, 469 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: and it is also in select theaters around the country. 470 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: And this was on my list of one of my 471 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: most anticipated movies of the summer and really just lived 472 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: up to the expectations, so I highly recommend it.

And I haven't been the biggest 491 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: fan of all the Disney reboots. There have been eighteen 492 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: live action Disney movies so far, and what they have 493 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: been kind of doing recently is taking all their biggest movies, 494 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: their most historic movies, and making live action adaptations. And 495 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: after watching this trailer, I do get that magical feel. 496 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: It makes me feel like if I were to go 497 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: see this in theaters but it's actually coming out on 498 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: Disney plug it would give me that feeling of being 499 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: a kid again, of like, Okay, this is something special 500 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: and spectacular, which Disney does so well with Pinocchio. I'm 501 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of the original story, but I 502 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: feel like as they praise it to be, it is 503 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: a timeless classic. And what makes it a timeless classic 504 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: is that original animated one, and it's the voice acting 505 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: in that, and it's how well that story is told 506 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: and how it really kind of fits in that type 507 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: of animation is what makes it a classic. The overall 508 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: story itself, I'm not the biggest fan of and I 509 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: don't really care to see just a live action version 510 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: of that. And where it gets weird is we have 511 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: a twin movie situation here, and that's when two movies 512 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: which are basically the exact same movie. Other examples include 513 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: when Pixar put out A Bug's Life and then DreamWorks 514 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: put out Ants, basically the exact same movie in the 515 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: same year, and in this case, it is literally the 516 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: same character movie being made in the exact same year. 517 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: Disney's comes out on Disney Plus in September eight, and 518 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Netflix is putting out Gamo de Toro's version in December, 519 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: and I actually am more interested in that one because 520 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: he's been working on that since and that's kind of 521 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: a passion project of his, and it's a darker reimagination 522 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: of the fairy tale, which actually has a darker past 523 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: if you really look at it. So I feel that 524 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: is a much more interesting story than what Disney is 525 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: doing and just kind of giving it their live action treatment, 526 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: which I haven't really loved. Now. I grew up in 527 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: the golden age of Disney with movies like The Lion King, Aladdin, Moulan, 528 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: Little Mermaids, like all those movies shaped what Disney animation is, 529 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: and I feel that is what they do the best. 530 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: That is what is the most memorable when it comes 531 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: to Disney movies, and that's really where they shine. And 532 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: even now with movies like in Gondo, like, it's the 533 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: animated movies that really cut through. And like I said, 534 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: there have been eighteen of these live action ones, and 535 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't feel like they've had the same lasting power 536 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: as any of their other movies. The only ones I 537 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: feel like I really even considered to be some of 538 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: my favorites would be Cruella most recently, and oddly kind 539 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: of in that same category is A hundred and one Dalmatians. 540 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: Of those being movies I felt really kind of transferred 541 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: well and fit well in the live action adaptations. So 542 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: what I do feel like is they are exposing the 543 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: younger generation to these classics and packaging up these movies 544 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: in a way that there maybe a little bit more 545 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: appealing visually, But I don't feel like they are creating classics. Again, 546 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that this animation style and you know 547 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: these special effects that they have with Jimmy Cricket, who 548 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: looks a little bit odd in this teaser, And again 549 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: we don't really have the best look at what Pinocchio 550 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: will look like. We get like a real small glimpse 551 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: of him. But I don't feel like this will be 552 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: as impactful and is lasting as some of those other 553 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: animation styles. So for me, it almost feels like a 554 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: little bit more of a cash grab of like, hey, 555 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: let's take these already known and beloved characters and crank 556 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: another movie out of it and throw Tom Hanks in it. 557 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just because I'm not six years old anymore, 558 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: but I just don't really feel like these live action 559 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: movies have flourished in any way and established anything that 560 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: really makes me want to run and go watch them, 561 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: whether it be in theaters or on Disney Plus. Because 562 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: even my favorite Disney movie from the nineties still is 563 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: The Lion King. I watched the remake of that in 564 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: theaters and never really went back to it again because 565 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: it just didn't really do anything for me. So again, 566 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: if you have such timeless classic why are you remaking them? 567 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 1: This makes edition of movie Laws and that's gonna do 568 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: it for another episode here on the podcast. But before 569 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: I go, every single week, I gotta give my listeners 570 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: shout out to somebody who sends me a d M 571 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: on Instagram, emails me movie Mike d at gmail dot com, 572 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: maybe comments over on TikTok. But today I'm going into 573 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: my Instagram comments and this shout out is to Caitlin 574 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: Copes on Instagram who asked on my last video is 575 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: could I share the movie pass I was talking about 576 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: the other day that you would love to get one? 577 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: And that movie pass that I have is the Regal 578 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: Unlimited and what that pass is for about bucks. Depending 579 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: on where you are, you can go and see as 580 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: many movies as you want. I haven't really tested the 581 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: capabilities of it, but apparently there are no limits. You 582 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: could go to five different movies all week, you go 583 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: to multiple movies in a day. And what I love 584 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: about it is it's the exact same way that you 585 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: would just buy tickets on the app, which is what 586 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: I do anyway, so there's no really other steps you 587 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: have to go through. Once you set up an account, 588 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: it's basically like having a membership there, So just think 589 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: of it as a subscription that you just pay for 590 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: and then you can just go unlimited. So as many 591 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: movies as I and my wife go to see in theaters, 592 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: after about two visits, it really pays for itself. So 593 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: for us, it made more sense for each of us 594 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 1: to get one just the amount of times we are 595 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: at the movies that we save money and having one 596 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: of these, So if you go to the movies a 597 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: lot too, I think it'd be perfect for you. And 598 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: the other thing I was concerned about, because I get 599 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: weird about things like this, is I was concerned that 600 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: since Kelsey and I both have one, like, how would 601 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: we get tickets together? But the cool thing is if 602 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: your other family members or friends have one, you can 603 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: add them as a friend the same way you would 604 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: like follow them on instag Graham or become friends on Facebook. 605 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: You add them and then when you book your tickets, 606 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: you can book them together so you can pick your 607 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: seats next to each other. With me being the anxious person, 608 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: that I am. That was a big deal for me, 609 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: so I'm glad they made that so easy. Yeah, that 610 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: is Regal unlimited and they don't pay me to say that. 611 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: That's just literally what I used to go watch movies. 612 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: But thank you Caitlin for that question. If that is 613 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: your shadow, and that is the episode for this week 614 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: and until next time, go out and watch good movies. 615 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you later.
