Today I want to share 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: with you what I believe to be the top five 4 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: years in movie history and my top five movies from 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: each of those years. In the movie review, it's the 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: film I've been foaming at the mouth to talk about. 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: I'll give my spoiler free review, very careful to be 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: spoiler free thoughts on weapons and in the trailer park 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Predator bad Lands, which looks awesome 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: to me. This movie came out of nowhere and I 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: can't wait to see it. So thank you for being here, 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: thank you for being subscribed, shout out to the Monday 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies from the 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: Nustville Podcast network and this is movie Mike Movie Podcast. 15 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: As I put together a list of what I believe 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 1: to be the top five years in movie history, meaning 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: if I could only keep one year worth of movies, 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: what years would I keep? And obviously it's going to 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: be rooted in the years that I was alive I 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: was born in nineteen ninety one have been really hard 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: for me and I probably would have not been truthful 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: to myself that I would have went back to the seventies, 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: it went back to like the golden age of Hollywood. 24 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like that wouldn't be authentically me. So 25 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: even though I considered those years, I just couldn't bring 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: myself to put those on this list. Even though there 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: are some historic years. But that being said, I still 28 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: don't feel like these other years that came before it 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: are even close to these years. Let's get right into 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: the list. At number five, I have twenty fourteen. And 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: why twenty fourteen is so important to me? This was 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: an era for me where I watched so many movies 33 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: on Blu Ray. To me, I associate twenty fourteen with 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: being my year of the Blu Ray, and it was 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: highly influential on the red Box, which is now gone. 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: What would happen with red Box? Oh? Man? It just 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: kind of sent there are no physical places to go 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: get movies like this anymore. It's all gone, it's all streaming. 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: But I was never a big Blockbuster kid because my 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: parents didn't want to pay for a membership. We also 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: didn't want to deal with late fees. But when I 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: was an adult in college in twenty fourteen, I would 43 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: walk to the seven eleven to get some snacks, and 44 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: I'd always grab a red Box movie, or if I 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: was going to the grocery store, shout out to HGB 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: in Texas, I would get a red Box movie. They 47 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: always had the latest ones. And it was so easy 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: because for me, being a person with social anxiety, worst 49 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: thing you could possibly make me do is call somebody 50 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: on the phone, like I would never order pizza as 51 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: a kid. Oh, whenever that all went to online, that 52 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: was just like a dream for me. And the great 53 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: thing about the red Box is you don't have to 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: talk to anybody. You just go up to the kiosk 55 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: find which movie or even video game you wanted to rent. 56 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: And I just have so many great memories of renting 57 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: red Box movies. In twenty fourteen, my top five movies 58 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: of the year, which I all watched from red Box 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: except for maybe the ones that came out later in 60 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: the year. But at number five I have Whiplash, fantastic movie. 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: Who knew you could make a movie about drumming be 62 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: so hence filled great performances from JK. Simmons and Miles Taylor. 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: Fantastic movie. Next best drumming movie would probably be The 64 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Sound of Metal, but I was way later. At number four, 65 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: I have Fury, which is my favorite war movie of 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: all time, Brad Pitt Shila buff. I just love the 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: greediness of that movie. And after watching that movie in 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, I wanted Brad Pitt's haircut, even though couldn't 69 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: pull it off, and really it probably looks so good 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: in him because he is so good looking. At number three, 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: I have Nightcrawler, which is the best Jake Gyllenhall movie 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: of all time. Blazy guy trying to make money by 73 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: covering crime scenes and then he gets a little bit 74 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: too into it, keeps trying to get the bloodiest shot 75 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: because blood cells on the news, so he keeps taking 76 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: it a step further and further and then does some 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: really unethical things. A fantastic movie. And then at number two, 78 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: I have Guardians of the Galaxy, which when this movie 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: came out in twenty fourteen, it shook up Marvel a 80 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: little bit, which was really just being super established obviously 81 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: with two thousand and being the first Marvel movie. But 82 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, this was like, Okay, we have something 83 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: different here, and it just changed the game. James Gunn 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: started to become dominant in the comic book movie world. 85 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: But at number one, my favorite movie from twenty fourteen 86 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: is Interstellar. I did see it's coming out later this 87 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,119 Speaker 1: year in Imax, and that would be a real treat 88 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: because this is one I didn't watch in theaters. I 89 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: watch it on red Box, and obviously with anything Christopher Nolan, 90 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: seeing it on the big screen you get that full effect. 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: But some other notable movies from twenty fourteen, you have 92 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: John Wick The Amazing Spider Man two, which back on 93 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Spider Man Day, we had the first look at Tom 94 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Hollins's new Spider Man suit and it looks so good. 95 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: It kind of looks a little bit of what we 96 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: got with Toby Maguire. It's like a great mix of 97 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: that and also what the Spider Man suit has turned 98 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: into now. But Amazing Spider Man two was fantastic, even 99 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: though at the time I think a lot of people 100 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: talk crap on it. We also had Gone Girl in 101 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: this year, Had to Train Your Dragon to the Grand 102 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson, one of his better movies, 103 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: a top five movie of his American Sniper, which is 104 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: another one of my favorite war movies. The Edge of 105 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Tomorrow with Tom Cruise, which I don't think I fully 106 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: got when it came out in twenty fourteen, but maybe 107 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: three or four years ago I rewatched and visited that 108 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: movie again, and that's a really good movie. It has 109 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: such a generic title though, you just see Tom Cruise 110 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: in the Edge of Tomorrow and it really doesn't tell 111 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: you much about that movie, but it's all about him, 112 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: like reliving the same day and trying to crack this timecode. 113 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: You also have The Winter Soldier. It follows one of 114 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: the most underrated horror movies of the twenty tens, Days 115 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: of Future, Pass from X Men twenty two, Jump Street, 116 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: in the Hunger Games World, we got Mocking Jades, a 117 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: lego movie, Big Hero six. There are so many great 118 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: memories in twenty fourteen Transformers Age of Extinction, which isn't 119 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: the best Transformers movie, but at this time in twenty fourteen, 120 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: I was convinced that every Transformers movie I went to 121 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: go see in theaters was gonna be great. The premise 122 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: of this movie, I just do not like Mark Wahlberg 123 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: in it. We also had Annabelle, Godzilla, The Theory of Everything, Boyhood, 124 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: which I do believe is a bit overrated, but I 125 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: watched it before everybody was rating it so high. I 126 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. But that's a movie that not a whole 127 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: lot of people talk about anymore, with it being still groundbreaking. 128 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: At the time. You usually had some comedy bangers like Neighbors, 129 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: the first Paddington movie came out, The Interview, which was 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: highly controversial, Tusk, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes TMNT, 131 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: the live action Michael Bay One, which was kind of 132 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: like a different version of Transformers but with Ninja Turtles, 133 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: A Million Ways to Die in the West, which was 134 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: a movie from the creator of Family Guy, Seth McFarland. 135 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: Not the greatest of comedy movies, but I do remember 136 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: going to see that movie in theaters. Saint Vincent, which 137 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: starred Bill Murray, and Wild all those movies from twenty fourteen. 138 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: That brings it in at number five on my list. 139 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: Next up on my list at number four is nineteen 140 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: ninety nine. Now we were just arguing the most influential 141 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: movie years. I think you can make an argument for 142 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine being the most influential year because it 143 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: closed out the nineties and really set us up for 144 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: the two thousands. And gave us a lot of movies 145 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: and styles that people have been trying to recreate ever since. 146 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: This time was so edgy and cool and black and dark, 147 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: where people just wanted kind of still the coolness of 148 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: the nineties without the cheese, and that is what we got. 149 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: More going into the two thousands with my top five 150 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: movies from nineteen ninety nine. At number five is an 151 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: underrated Disney movie as well, primarily because of the music. 152 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: It's Tarzan. That was one of my favorite movies as 153 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: a kid and as a family. Watched that movie so much. 154 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: That movie is a classic that I'm glad they haven't 155 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: tried to remake or make a lot. Well, they did 156 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: kind of make a live action version that wasn't Disney, 157 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: but that movie was so good with the music of 158 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: Phil Collins, great voice acting. I have that one at 159 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: number five. At number four, I have American Pie, which 160 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: was the quintessential teen hookup movie and everybody wanted to 161 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: be like American Pie. And I think now when we 162 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: think of the greatest comedies ever in the movies we 163 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: kind of craved the most. Where people say, why don't 164 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: they make great comedies anymore? I think oftentimes we're talking 165 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: about movies like American Pie and the trails that were 166 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: blazed in that film, not only with its comedy, with 167 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: its ensemble cast, but also the music. It really meant 168 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: something in nineteen ninety nine to get your song in 169 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: a movie, and this was a great reflection on the times. 170 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, blank onin eighty two is actually in this movie. 171 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: Their song Mutt is also in this movie. And then 172 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: when it came time for American Pie too, it became 173 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: more of a thing, and you had bands like some 174 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: forty one New Felt Glory, which were so popular and 175 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: so influential on me at that time. So it also 176 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: takes me back to that era when it did mean 177 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: something to have a song featured in a movie, and 178 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: now just kind of like it doesn't even matter anymore 179 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: unless you're James Gunn and using songs for a very 180 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: specific purpose. At number three, I have Toy Story two, 181 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: which was a movie that almost didn't see the light 182 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: of day because again in the nineties, still computer technology 183 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: and animation was still relatively new. They didn't have it 184 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: fully figured out on how to back things up, and 185 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: this entire movie was almost deleted entirely. But luckily one 186 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: of the people working on the movie. One of the 187 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: animators had a kid and was working from their home 188 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: office and had a copy of this movie on their 189 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: home computer. Otherwise they would have had to start all 190 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: over and redo this movie entirely. At number two, I 191 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: find a lot of movies from nineteen ninety nine that 192 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: I resonate with or all animated, because at number two 193 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: I have south Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut. This movie 194 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: taught me how to curse at a very young age. 195 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: I should not have watched this movie at eight years old. 196 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: This was a movie as a kid that I just 197 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: had playing on a loop. Not at my parents' house. 198 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: They did not owe me watching or knew about this movie. 199 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: But at my cousin's house, we would watch this movie 200 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: all the time. Time we'd be playing Tony Hawk pro 201 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: Skater or Grand Theft Auto and just watching south Park, Bigger, Longer, 202 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: and Uncut. I wish they would make another full length 203 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: animated movie like this and put it out in theaters. 204 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: At number one, though, it's fight Club. Fight Club is 205 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: the quintessential nineteen ninety nine movie, and I know some 206 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: people are gonna say, well, that's obviously the matrix for 207 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: me it is Fight Club. I don't really have a 208 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: deep connection with The Matrix. I Love Again and it 209 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: can appreciate how influential that movie was, but I would 210 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: not put that in my top five of movies from 211 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. But you also had, of course The Matrix, 212 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: like I just mentioned, Big Daddy, The Mummy, Nodding Hill, 213 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me, a great comedy movie, 214 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: The Green Mile Johnny su Nami, which I rewatched pretty recently. 215 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: That movie still holds up. Some parks are a little 216 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: bit weird, but I think that's the case for any 217 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: Disney Channel movie. And it's also weird seeing how unsupportive 218 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: his dad was, Like, Dude, your dad's just kind of 219 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: a bad dad, just moved than you and doesn't care, 220 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: has no remorse and doesn't want you to end up 221 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: like your grandfather his dad. Like that whole dynamic was 222 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: a little bit weird. So there are some things that 223 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: I also didn't notice, like the two brothers, the one 224 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: that owns the shop on one side of the mountain 225 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: and the other one that owns the shop on the 226 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: other side of the mountain. One of them is a snowboarder. 227 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: One of them is a skier, and it turns out 228 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: they're played by the same actor that blew my mind. 229 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until now. You also had other 230 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Disney Channel movies from nineteen ninety nine like Xenon and 231 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Smart House. All this was like my era of Disney Channel. 232 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Also in ninety nine, you had American Beauty Eyes, White 233 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: Shut Ten, Things I Hate About You, The Sixth Sense, 234 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: Double Jeopardy. That movie blew my mind as a kid, 235 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: The Boodendogs, Saints Dogma Life. I love this movie with 236 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence and the late Bernie Mack. 237 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: You also have Lake Placid Varsity Blues, which is my 238 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: favorite football movie of all time, Never Been Kissed, which 239 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: is my favorite rom com of all time. And then 240 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: you have these really random nineties movies that I love, 241 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: and it was usually because I watched them on cable, 242 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: But movies like Deep Blue Sea. I've seen that movie 243 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: so many times. I don't think we ever rented it. 244 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: I never saw it in theaters, but for sure watched 245 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: it probably on USA so many times in the nineties 246 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: and then probably carrying into the two thousands. Movies like 247 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: Office Space, October Sky, She's all that, the Iron Giant, 248 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: but the Blair Witch Project, Deuce Bigelows, Stuart little Man 249 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: on the Moon, mistery Man, Blue Streak, which is my 250 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: favorite Martin Lawrence movie of all time. Any given Sunday, 251 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Idle Hands, Detroit Rock City. Nineteen ninety nine is a 252 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: great year. And again it's just because three and four 253 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: and one are so just top level to me, because 254 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: ninety nine is stack. But still, this is a really 255 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: tough list to make. It comes in at number four. 256 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: At number three, I have twenty nineteen. This year is 257 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: very special to me. That is the year we launched 258 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: this podcast, and it was a year that I didn't 259 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: know how good we had it until movies shut down 260 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. My favorit favorite five films from this year. 261 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: At number five, I have Once upon a Time in 262 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: Hollywood Quentin Tarantino. He said he was gonna make his 263 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: final movie. It was supposed to be about a movie critic. 264 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'm here, I'm ready cast me 265 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: in your movie. And then he's like, I'm not making 266 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: that movie anymore. But it's been too long since we've 267 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: had a Quentin Tarantino movie a fantastic in theater experience 268 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: and also has really great rewatchability. Wild thing looking back 269 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: on that movie now is how many people were in 270 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: it that are such big stars now, like Austin Butler, 271 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney, recent Oscar winning actor Mikey Madison. They were 272 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: all cast in this movie and have smaller parts in it, 273 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: but now they're all huge and could be carrying their 274 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: own movie. It was almost like a prerequisite to be 275 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: a star in five years. At number four, I have 276 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: uncut Gems Adam Sandler in a dramatic role and in 277 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: a stressful role like this is my favorite, speaking of 278 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: stressful movies. At number three, I have Joker, the dive 279 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: that this movie took from Joker one to Joker two. 280 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: In my head, Joker two doesn't. I can't allow that 281 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: movie to ruin what was created in the first one. 282 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: One of my favorite in theater experiences of all time. 283 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: It just left my jaw on the floor and really 284 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: rattled me so much so that it was a really 285 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: long time, probably two years until I was able to 286 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: actually rewatch this movie. It is a movie that I 287 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to go back and revisit so soon and 288 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: have my perspective changed because I left that movie. I 289 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: gave my review and I gave it a five out 290 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: of five, and I stood by that for a very 291 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: long time, and I didn't want my opinion change because 292 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: I knew how it made me feel in that moment, 293 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: the energy going into that movie, with it being so 294 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: controversial in some of the ways that it depicted violence, 295 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: but I think it's just a great character study on 296 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: somebody going through a lot of hard mental struggles, dealing 297 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: with an illness and then kind of inciting a riot 298 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: as a result of that. But yes, for me, this 299 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: is a perfect movie, and Joker Too does not exist. 300 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: At number two. I have Parasite, which was really influence 301 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: on me giving international films more of a chance. And 302 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't that I was against them. I was never 303 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: really against watching movies with subtitles, But it was this 304 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: movie that really just made me think, like, why haven't 305 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: I been seeking out movies from other countries, and why 306 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: have I been hesitant to do that? Why do I 307 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: look at them at sometimes being homework. This movie changed 308 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: all that. And the thing it really changed with me 309 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: is I always watch movies now in the language that 310 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: they are made in with English subtitles unless it's animated. 311 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: I feel like animation is a little bit different because 312 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: when you watch an animated movie, oftentimes they get actual 313 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: American actors, established actors to revoice those characters, and they 314 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: treated the same way they would treat any movie. But 315 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: when they do just Spanish dubs or English dubs, oftentimes 316 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: it's just random people. They could still be actors, it's 317 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: still a job for them, but I don't feel like 318 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: they capture the same emotion that the actors do that 319 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: are actually playing the parts in these countries that these 320 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: movies are being released in. So I feel to get 321 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: that real emotion, I have to watch it in their language. 322 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: Even though I don't understand what they are saying, I 323 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: feel the emotion that paired with me reading it allows 324 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: me to enjoy these movies at times more than I 325 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: do just standard American movies because I'm so dialed in 326 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: because I'm reading and also hearing and feeling their emotion 327 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: and the way that they speak in the acting. So 328 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: that is something I always do. Even though Netflix or 329 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: other streaming services sometimes give you that ability to also 330 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: change what you were hearing. I want to hear their 331 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: actual voice in their language, so that is something also 332 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: that Parasite has influenced me, and it's really stuck with 333 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: me since twenty nineteen. Number two is where I have 334 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: that movie. At number one, I have Avengers Endgame, and 335 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: depending on the day, I would battle on which one 336 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: of those is two and which one of those is one. 337 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: But where I placed them on for this list is 338 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: because at least once a year I rewatched Endgame, and 339 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I would probably rewatch it more if it wasn't three 340 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: hours long. So in total in my life I have 341 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: rewatched Endgame more. So I have to put it at one. 342 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: More notable movies from twenty nineteen some of my favorites 343 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Detective Pikachu obviously, Spider Man Far from Home. I think 344 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: the Best Picture category was one of the best, at 345 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: least in the last ten years. Parasite was also the 346 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: winner of the Best Picture Award that year, but he 347 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: had Ford v Ferrari. The Irishman watched all three plus 348 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: hours of that on Netflix. Jojo Rabbit Joker also made 349 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: it into the Best Picture category. Little Women Marriage Story, 350 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: which now I hear they're using a clip of Scarlett 351 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Johansson to like word away like wildlife apparently like wolves 352 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: and other things like freak out when they were to 353 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: hear that scene, So that's an unexpected result of that movie. 354 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: Nineteen seventeen Beautifully Shot also Once upon a Time in 355 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: Hollywood was in that category. You also had movies like 356 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: Midsommar Knives Out, John Wick Chapter three, The Rise of Skywalker, 357 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: Lighthouse oh Man, Willem Dafoe, and Robert Pattinson Going at 358 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: It It Chapter two, which was another really great horror 359 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: movie experience, even though I love part one so much more, 360 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: that one was just so cinis during the beginning. I 361 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: love seeing that one in theaters. Movies like Book, Smart 362 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: Bomb Show, Jumanji, Next Level, Toy Story four, even though 363 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: I believe it should have ended a Toy Story three, 364 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: The live action Lion King Godzella, King of Monsters, Frozen two, 365 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: which I think is the better Frozen movie. We finally 366 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: got the sequel to Zombie Land, Double Tap came out 367 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: that year, Sound a Metal, which I mentioned earlier, Annabel 368 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: Comes Home. You also have Fighting with My Family, which 369 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 1: is based upon the WWE Superstar page, which I am 370 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: so back into WWE now. It started with The Unreal 371 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: Show on Netflix. Which I finished and loved, and I 372 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: think they put that out perfectly because it led right 373 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: into Summer Slam. And ever since then, I've been watching 374 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: Monday Night ragain. I feel like I'm ten years old 375 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: all over again, which is on par for this episode. 376 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: You said us, Richard Jewell at Astra Aladdin the Platform 377 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: Ready or Not Man twenty nineteen was stacked at number two, 378 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: I have nineteen ninety four. Looking at this list, it 379 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: is hard to believe that nineteen ninety four was real. 380 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: And out of all the years on this list, if 381 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: I could go back and experience just one year by 382 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: seeing all of these movies in theaters for the first time, 383 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: it would be nineteen ninety four because I've seen the 384 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: least amount of these in theaters, obviously because I was 385 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: three years old. But I'm gonna give you my top 386 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: five to start this, because there are just mountains and 387 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: mountains of so many good movies in nineteen ninety four, 388 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: for one actor in particular, single handily their best year 389 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: in movies of all time. But at number five, I 390 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: have Forrest Gump. Think about that, at number five, I 391 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: have one of the greatest movies of all time. That 392 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: is how stacked this year is at number four. Now 393 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: people are gonna argue that number five I was better 394 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: than my number four. But to me personally, I have 395 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Angels in the Outfield, which I believe is the best 396 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: baseball movie of all time. Angels in the Outfield could 397 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: not be made today, not for a political sense, just 398 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: because a movie as ridiculous as it sounds made sense 399 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four. We were in an era where 400 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: we could believe that a team would say, Okay, this 401 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: kid sees angels, we're gonna give him this signal. We're 402 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna make them come to every single baseball game. A 403 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: plot as ridiculous as that did not feel ridiculous in 404 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. I just watched this movie so much 405 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: as a kid, and then later as an adult, found 406 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: it so hard to even track it down. It wasn't 407 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: until fairly recently, maybe in the last year year and 408 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: a half, that this movie was even available to watch 409 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. So it almost felt like did I 410 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: even experience this movie whatsoever? But it also has a 411 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: lot of emotion in it, aside from all the fun 412 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: of people running around trying to catch baseballs that are 413 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: being thrown around by the angels in the outfield. Literally. 414 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: You also have a story about a son who just 415 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: wants to be reunited with his dad, but instead he's 416 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: living in foster care and his dad is just a 417 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: dirt bag. Tells him, you know this team that is 418 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: historically bad, that just can't win a game to save 419 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: their lives. If they're ever good, we can be a 420 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: family again. And then that team ends up being really good, 421 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: and dad is still like, Nah, I'm gonna leave you 422 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: behind and leave you bawling in the courtroom. What a 423 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: ridiculous plot, What a ridiculous premise. There is no reason 424 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: this movie should pack as emotional of a punch that 425 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: it does. But I have that one at number four. 426 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: At number three is pulp fiction with Quentin Tarantino dropped 427 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: this banger, and then everybody wanted a piece of them. 428 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to rip them off. And I feel like 429 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: there have been so many directors in the action genre 430 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: who have tried to replicate this movie and just can't 431 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: do it because they don't have the vision of Quentin Tarantino. 432 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: But a movie that just has unorthodox storytelling, has such 433 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: powerful and dynamic characters, such memorable lines, from the very 434 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: beginning and images it is probably his masterpiece. Probably has 435 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: other movies that are better technically, maybe at times have 436 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: higher action, or without this movie, we would have never 437 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: gotten any of those. And number two, I have Dumb 438 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: and Dumber my favorite comedy movie, not only of the nineties, 439 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: but my favorite comedy of all time. And again a 440 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: movie that could not be made today because things that 441 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: we found as funny and ridiculous in this movie just 442 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: would not work. And I also think it captures what 443 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: comedy is and why a comedy movie like this does 444 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: work is because you have two people who are just 445 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: utter buffoons who you try to figure out which one 446 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: is dumb and which one is dumber because they're both idiots, 447 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: but everybody else in the movie is normal, and everybody 448 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: else finds them so ridiculous and gets frustrated with them 449 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: and doesn't understand them, and they play the part of 450 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: us as the audience. But the fact that you have 451 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: that contrast between these characters, because if it was just 452 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: them being stupid all the time, but also having everybody 453 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: in this world being as stupid as they are or 454 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: accepting of how dumb they are, this movie would not work. 455 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: That is another problem I had with Happy Gilmore two 456 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: is there was no contrast between anybody. Everybody was just 457 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: dumb and doing ridiculous things, and there was no one 458 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: there to say, hey, like what is happening here? Like 459 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: why is everything so ridiculous right now? Which there was 460 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: that and Happy Gilmour won. It just wasn't all ridiculous 461 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: all the time. I really think that's kind of the 462 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: source of why some movies now aren't as funny as 463 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: they were back twenty thirty years ago, is because there's 464 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: no longer that contrast. You have to make a comedy 465 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: movie now and think everything has to be wilding out 466 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: all the time. It has to be parody. But dumb 467 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: and dumber is how you do it. That's at number 468 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: two and number one. My favorite movie of nineteen ninety 469 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: four is The Lion King. I still say it is 470 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: the best made Disney movie of all time. Not my favorite, 471 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: Lela Stitch will always be my favorite. But I think 472 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: when you look at storytelling, even though some people argue 473 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: that The Lion King just basically ripped off the Land 474 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: Before Time, that even the makers of the Land Before 475 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Time said, whenever Lion King came out, they were like, 476 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: what did they do? They just ripped off our movie, 477 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: But it was more impactful, It had better songs, it 478 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: had more memorable characters. So even if they did rip 479 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: it off, they ripped it off really well. But also 480 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: in ninety four you had The Usual Suspects, a movie 481 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: that blew my mind and still will blow my mind 482 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: even though I know what is going to happen. Has 483 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: one of the best twists of all time, the Shawshank Redemption. 484 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: The actor who had the biggest year in nineteen ninety 485 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: four was Jim Carrey with the movie we mentioned earlier, 486 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: Dumb and Dumber, but also had a spintera pet detective, 487 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: and The Mask all come out in nineteen ninety four. 488 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: You also had indie darlings like Clerks, one of the 489 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: greatest action movies at the nineties, Speed Interview with the Vampire, 490 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: True Lies, Clear in Present Danger D two, The Mighty Ducks, 491 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: Little Giants. This was an era of great sports family comedies. 492 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Oh Little Giants is an amazing movie. Has one of 493 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: the greatest sports villains of all time with the Dallas Cowboys. 494 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: Even though I'm a fan of the Dallas Cowboys at 495 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: the time, they're kind of the Villain, even though EMMTT 496 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: Smith is in this movie. You also have movies like 497 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: The page Master. That movie also feels like does anybody 498 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: else remember The Page Master? Or Am I the only 499 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: one that watched that movie as a kid with Micaulay Culkin, 500 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: Major League two, Blank Check The Jungle Book, which was 501 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: the live action movie in the nineties, and it even 502 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: had the best good bad movies The Flintstones, I don't 503 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: believe is a good movie, but I still watched it. 504 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: I still loved it. Movies like The Little Rascals Street Fighter. 505 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: As bad as that movie was, it's still a good 506 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: bad movie in nineteen ninety four, and other Adam Sandler 507 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: movies like Airheads that is nineteen ninety four at number two, 508 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: before I get to number one, I have an honorable mention, 509 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: and that honorable mention goes to two thousand and nine. 510 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: I feel like this was the last year that film 511 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: was really unified. It was right on the cusp of 512 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: us being so consumed by social media and YouTube. The 513 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: iPhone came out a couple years before this in two 514 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: thousand and seven, and I feel like this was the 515 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: last year, at least in film, that we were all 516 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: unified and watching the same things because we were just 517 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: before that era of there being so many avenues on 518 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: where to watch things. Once Netflix came around and really 519 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: started dominating with streaming, we were still going to the theater, 520 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: all watching the same movies and then later watching it 521 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: on Blu Ray. That's why I feel like two thousand 522 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: and nine to me is very significant. My top five 523 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: movies of this year were Up in the Air, which 524 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: is my favorite George Clooney movie. Number four is Avatar 525 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: and again I think right place, right time that went 526 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: on to be one of the highest grossing movies of 527 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: all time. And number three I would have up at 528 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: number two The Hangover, which I believe to be the 529 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: last great American comedy classic, again that we all watched collectively, 530 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: back when we would all go watch a movie and 531 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: then everybody would just be quoting it because we all 532 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: went to go see the same thing. But at number one, 533 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: speaking of Quentin Tarantino earlier, even though I believe Pulp 534 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: Fiction is his masterpiece, at number one, and Glorious Bastard's 535 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: is my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie, one of my favorite 536 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: in theater experiences. Oh, I had so much joy while 537 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: watching that movie and rooting on the good guys, and 538 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: Christoph Waltz was just such a great villain. And again 539 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: we had Brad Pitt be and Brad Pitt again. But 540 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: honorable mention goes to two thousand and nine. But at 541 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: number one I have two thousand and seven. This is 542 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: the year where I really fell in love with movies. 543 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: If it wouldn't have been for two thousand and seven, 544 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: I would not be here today doing this podcast. I 545 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: was sixteen years old. I was watching movies all the time. 546 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: Also what era I refer to as the burn DVD age, 547 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: where that it was just kind of running rampant. I 548 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: remember having one of those binders where you would put CDs, 549 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: but it was all filled with DVDs. I had a 550 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: friend who made them, and it was just the gift 551 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: that kept on giving because every week it would just 552 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: give me another stack of movies. So I watched so 553 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: many movies in two thousand and seven, and it was 554 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: the year that I truly fell in love with movies, 555 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: where I went from saying I like movies to final 556 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: saying I love the movies because I started to see 557 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: the inner workings of what it took to make these 558 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: It was the year I started paying to directors and 559 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: paying attention to cinematography, because I started noticing all these details, 560 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: and I started to wonder, like, why do I like 561 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: this movie? What is it about it that actually sticks 562 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: out to me? I started to watch movies more analytically, 563 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: and this was the year that all those lights and 564 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: sensors in my brain just started going off, where I 565 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: started asking more, where I started watching movies and not 566 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: just paying attention to the cast, but also who produced it, 567 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: who wrote it, who directed it. All those things in 568 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven started to matter to me. So 569 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: that's why I went from just being a kid who 570 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: watched movies to being a kid who now watched the films. 571 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: And now that kind of sounds like, ah, you loser, 572 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: called movies. Films are all movies. It's all the same thing. 573 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: But that's the only way I can describe that of 574 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: that switch in my brain that if I wouldn't have 575 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: had this year with such great movies, I would not 576 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: be in this position now. I would have never gotten 577 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: to twenty fourteen, which was another year on this list, 578 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: or twenty nineteen, So in no way would I still 579 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: be here in twenty twenty five talking about movies. If 580 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't for two thousand and seven. My top five 581 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: movies of this year at number five is The Simpsons Movie, 582 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: which is funny because I was just talking about how 583 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: I started paying attention to films and talking about directors, 584 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: and then at number five, I have the Simpsons movie. 585 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: But I am such a huge Simpsons fan and I'd 586 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: been waiting for this my entire life. I loved all 587 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: the promotion leading up to this movie. It felt like 588 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: an event. Seven to eleven's were changed into quickie marts, 589 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: and I remember going to see this and it blew 590 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: my mind to see the Simpsons curse, some of the 591 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: scenes where you see Bart in ways you didn't think 592 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: you were going to ever see Bart. It just felt epic. 593 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: It felt like the perfect story, and it just felt 594 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: like something in my lifetime that I would never witness. 595 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: At number four, I have Transformers. This movie changed me 596 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: a lot. This movie also had a big impact on 597 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: cinema and summer blockbusters, where I just associate watching a 598 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: Transformers movie in the summer as a rite of passage. 599 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: I just believe that that is a pillar of cinema 600 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: more so than any other action franchise. If there is 601 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: a year where a Transformers movie comes out from now 602 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: until forever, I don't care how bad these movies get. 603 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: I am going to watch it because it feels like 604 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: a rite of passage. It feels like an event. Hearing 605 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: Peter Cullen's voice in a theater as Optimist Prime through 606 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: the booming theater speakers and seeing all the carnage of 607 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: Transformers metal on screen and the explosions from Michael Bay 608 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: that feels like summer to me. So I'm always gonna 609 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: chase that. It's like a drug to me. I had 610 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: my first hit in two thousand and seven, and I'm 611 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: still chasing that high ever since. At number three Spider 612 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: Man three, at the time, this movie got dragged, and 613 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't until maybe the last five years or so, 614 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: especially whenever Toby Maguire came back, that I feel that 615 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: Spider Man three finally got its flowers. Yes, it gets 616 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: parodied a lot, it gets poked fun at a lot, 617 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: But I love this movie when it first came out 618 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: because we got black Suit Spider Man. Maybe I didn't 619 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: love because the depiction of Venom, which was my favorite 620 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: villain from the nineties, wasn't really portrayed in the way 621 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: I wanted him to. I would not have cast to 622 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: Ford Grace to play Venom, but it was what it 623 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: was and it did so many things for me that 624 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: I loved. So at number three, I had Spider Man 625 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: three and number two is Juno. If I had to 626 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: pick one movie from this year to really define what 627 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: pop culture was, to really define what music was in 628 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven in fashion, I would show you Juno. 629 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: I love everything this movie, from the wardrobe, from the 630 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: quirky characters, from the memorable quotes. In two thousand and seven, 631 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: it was so important to have a quirky movie with 632 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: these really great quotes that you could put on a 633 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: T shirt that you could sell at hot topic, And 634 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: that is what I think about when I think about Juno. 635 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: Also has really great music and a movie that I 636 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: probably watched the most that year and it still holds up. 637 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: I love Juno at number two. At number one, I 638 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: Have No Country for Old Men, which would also enter 639 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: into my top ten movies of all time, And this 640 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: was the one movie specifically, like I was mentioning earlier, 641 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: what changed in me in two thousand and seven, This 642 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: was really the movie that did it. You have one 643 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: of the greatest movie villains of all time played by 644 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: Javier Bardem. Josh Brolin is fantastic in this movie. Woody 645 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: Harrelson is fantastic in this movie. I also loved that 646 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: the Cohen Brothers brought people who weren't real actors, but 647 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: they worked and lived in these towns that they were 648 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: filming in in Texas to add that level of Texas authenticity. 649 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: My favorite scene added this entire movie is Anton Sugar, 650 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: who was the villain, going to pay for his gas 651 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: at the gas station and him having that encounter with 652 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: the clerk there, and it's just so simple but just 653 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: such great dialogue that there's so much tension in it, 654 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: and that guy is the only guy to not die 655 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,239 Speaker 1: at the hands of Anton Sugar. He does not know 656 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: how close he came to death to him that day. 657 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: Some weird guy just came in with a funny haircut. 658 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: He wanted coin toss and that was it. But he 659 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: did not know in that moment how bad that interaction 660 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: could have gone, and just how much tension you can 661 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: build just through great dialogue and through great acting. A 662 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: perfect scene. No Country for Old Man my favorite movie 663 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: from my favorite year two thousand and seven, A comeback 664 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: and give my spoiler free review on Weapons.

Weapons is 667 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: now entering that over hype stage because when it first 668 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: came out opening week and theaters were packed, Our theater 669 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: was packed. Everybody was going crazy for this movie, big 670 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: word of mouth. But now here we are, you're gonna 671 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: start to see those people who are going to witness 672 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: it now and they're gonna be like, that's what everybody 673 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: was raving about. That movie is so overhyped. But that 674 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: is okay with me because I would rather a really 675 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: great movie be overhyped than have to fight for a 676 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: really great movie that nobody has seen. Because there have 677 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: been those this year where I'm like, everybody, you gotta 678 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: go check out this movie, and everybody just doesn't want to. 679 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: The movie doesn't do great at the box office, and 680 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: then maybe six months down the line, when it's on 681 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: a streaming service, then people start to catch wind of it. 682 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: You could even argue maybe that's what happened a little 683 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: bit with Barbarian Bam that cemented Zachkreigor as a really 684 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: great director. People started to see how much of a 685 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: visionary he is, and he is now up there on 686 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: the horror directors I'm really paying attention to. I think 687 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Peele is still at the top of that list 688 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: because he is somebody who is more established than some 689 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: of the other people working now. But he was a 690 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: person who wanted this movie, fired some of his management 691 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: team because he could not secure this film. And now 692 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: I know exactly why he wanted this movie because it 693 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: is next level horror. And Zach Craiger is somebody I 694 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: really enjoy now because he's only forty four years old. 695 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: But just hearing him talk about this movie, how much 696 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: attention to detail he has. So what this movie is 697 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: about if you haven't heard about it yet, Seventeen kids 698 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: go missing in this one classroom. Julia Gardner is the 699 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: teacher in the classroom. The parents want answers, they are 700 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: blaming her, and it is up to this town to 701 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: unravel the mystery why all these kids went missing at 702 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: two seventeen in the morning, exact same time, exact same night, 703 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 1: in the exact same way. But nobody knows exactly why 704 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: it also stars Josh Brolin, who plays one of the 705 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 1: missing kids' dads, Alden Ehrenreich, who is a police officer 706 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: in the town, Benanic Wong. So right there, you have 707 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: Silver Surfer, you have Thanos, you have the guy from Ironheart, 708 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: and you also have Wong from Doctor Strange. Also rounding 709 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: out the cast, you have Austin Abrams, who plays a 710 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: junkie in the movie. And let me just start with 711 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: the cast just perfectly cast it. I couldn't see anybody 712 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: else in any of these roles. And I know Pedro 713 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 1: Pascal was supposed to play the role of Josh Brolin. 714 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: I am so glad he didn't get it. And it's 715 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: not that I don't like Pedro Pascal. It's not that 716 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: I have Pedro fatigue. I watched all three of his 717 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: big movies this summer. He's a fantastic actor. Because I 718 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 1: actually think that if Pedro Pascal was in the same role, 719 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: it would not have hit the same way. There was 720 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: just something about his character that was more nuanced than 721 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: I feel that Pedro Pascal could pull off right now. 722 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: And the reason he didn't do it is because he 723 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: had too many projects. Obviously, with all the commitments he 724 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: has right now. So they had to recast almost this 725 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: entire movie except for Austin Abrams, who was there from 726 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: the very beginning. And not only did they give great performances, 727 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: their characters were so well written and so well developed 728 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: that I could put myself into the shoes of any 729 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: of these people in this town and I would know 730 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: what they love, what they hate, what triggers them. They 731 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: all have very unique flaws, which is something that I 732 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: really took away from Weapons is that there's not one 733 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: character that is inherently the protagonist. Nobody in this movie 734 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: is necessarily a good or bad person in the story, 735 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: because I think they've all been through something traumatic, they 736 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: all have some kind of blame pointed to them at 737 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: some point because of something they've done wrong. That there's 738 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: not one person that you're necessarily rooting for, And I 739 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: think having that nuance of humans that have some good 740 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: qualities about them but also can be kind of shady 741 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: in other ways is what makes this movie feel more 742 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: real life. That if this actually happened in a town, 743 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: you wouldn't just have a good Kuy, a good Samaritan 744 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: out there trying to figure this thing out. There would 745 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: be some very mixed feelings between everybody in this town, 746 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: and that is really what you see. You don't just 747 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: see one shiny, perfect person trying to figure this thing out, 748 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: trying to save the day. So not only were all 749 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: their performances on the screen, I just believe all their 750 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: characters were so well written on the page, which goes 751 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: back to what I say about Zach Kreiger knowing his 752 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: vision before he goes into his movie, not trying to 753 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: find it in the process, and I think that is 754 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: what really resonated with me. And not only that, but 755 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: the movie just instantly dives into it. You start with 756 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: the girl explaining the story how everybody went missing, and 757 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: then you are right there in it. I love the 758 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: format of the movie as it dives into each character individually, 759 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: which is probably another reason why you do get to 760 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: know these characters so well, is because it fully dives 761 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 1: into where they were, where all these things started to happen, 762 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: and show you all the things they have going on 763 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: in their life. It doesn't really waste a whole lot 764 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: of time with this crazy backstory of what happened before 765 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: they went missing, diving into the characters backstories that way, 766 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: because it doesn't tell you. It just shows you by 767 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: just letting you live a day in their life. And 768 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: I think that way of handling the story perfect and 769 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: I feel like that added way more to the mystery 770 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: because the movie was so unpredictable and in an era 771 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: of filmmaking right now, especially in horror, where sometimes you 772 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: can tell, Okay, I kind of see where this story 773 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 1: is going, we're gonna get to this final battle. We're 774 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: gonna all have it figured out by the end. I 775 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: didn't know who was about what, I didn't know what 776 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: was going on, but I was so in for the 777 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: ride that in the two hour runtime, I never checked out. 778 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: The horror elements were also fantastic, and I kind of 779 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: knew going into it it wasn't gonna be a full 780 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: on supernatural jump scare movie, although it did have those 781 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: elements in there as well, it was really more of 782 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: a horror mystery. I also feel like the movie didn't 783 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: use a bunch of cheap tactics to scare you. There 784 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: were some more of the traditional elements, a couple of 785 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: jump scares here and there, but I think the movie 786 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: just had a sinister DNA to it that aside from 787 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: a couple of things early on, it didn't really rely 788 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: on that. It also did a fantastic job of not 789 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: showing you everything in the trailer, which is something that 790 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: horror movies are notorious for, because there were some elements 791 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: that I saw from different portions of the movie in 792 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: the trailer, but even then, having all the pieces to 793 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: this puzzle kind of laid out for you, you still had 794 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: no idea how those things were going to play out. 795 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: I think Austin Abrams was low key the MVP of 796 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: this movie, even though his character didn't have the most 797 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: massive role. Out of anybody else, I would still say 798 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: Julia Gardner was my favorite part of the movie. Josh 799 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: Bolin right up there with her, but I think his 800 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: presence brought something that was just completely unexpected out of 801 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 1: anybody else in the town. You don't really see characters 802 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: like that. And he also brought a little bit of 803 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: comedic relief. That was another thing I wasn't really expecting. 804 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: There were moments in this movie where people were laughing, 805 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: where even at its most sinister times, there was a 806 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: little bit a levity and it wasn't cheesy, it wasn't forced, 807 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: It kind of happened naturally. There weren't moments that it 808 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: felt like, Oh, this is a punchline moment, or this 809 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: is something we're gonna do deliberately to make you laugh. 810 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: But I think just the way these moments were sprinkled 811 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: in where you kind of took yourself back a little 812 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: bit and thought, hey, that's kind of funny, made me laugh, 813 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: it made everybody else laugh, And I think Austin Abrams's 814 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: character was a big portion of those laughs. And I 815 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: think what I love the most about Zach Kraiger now 816 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,720 Speaker 1: that he's going to be somebody that I pay attention 817 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: to every single film. Because I wasn't the biggest fan 818 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: of Barbarian, I enjoyed some elements of that movie. It 819 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: felt a little bit unconventional to me, much like some 820 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: people are gonna go watch Weapons and feel like, oh, 821 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: this is so overhyped. That was kind of Barbarian for me. 822 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: What I do love about him is how much he 823 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: just has a passion for filmmaking. He said his three 824 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: biggest influences going into this movie were Magnolia, Hereditarian Prisoners, 825 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: which I was like, those are all contemporary movies that 826 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 1: I feel like the general public has still seen. So 827 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: to have somebody making movies with those types of influences 828 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: and be able to make something that pools from those 829 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: inspirations but feel entirely different. I think we're in good 830 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: hands when it comes to horror. I think we're also 831 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: in good hands when it comes to horror because of 832 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 1: all the success that Warner Brothers has been having, which 833 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: I've been telling you guys, horror is where it is 834 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to creativity. It's also where it is 835 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: where it comes to strong female leads. Oftentimes that is 836 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: the only place I can go where I can see 837 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: somebody like Julia Gardner have a role where they're not 838 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: typecasts in any way, where their characters aren't pigeonholed. But 839 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers became the first studio in history to have 840 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: six consecutive forty plus million dollar openings. And if you 841 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: look at this list, you have Minecraft with one hundred 842 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: and sixty two point eight million, Sinners with forty eight million, 843 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: Final Destination, Bloodlines with fifty million, f One with fifty 844 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: seven million, Superman with the one hundred and twenty five million, 845 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: and Weapons with forty two point five million dollars. And 846 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: out of those six movies, fifty percent of them are 847 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: original movies, so Warner Brothers still chases those big ips. 848 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: If you look at Superman, Final Destination obviously is a 849 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: long running franchise, Minecraft is a video game adaptation. But 850 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: the threat in all these movies is that they also 851 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,879 Speaker 1: have really great directors who I believe truly are visionaries. 852 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: And I think that is something that they have prioritized 853 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: more than other studios and is why they are having 854 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: so much success as they are finding filmmakers that know 855 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: how to create a spectacle, and they also make movies 856 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: where it starts with story first. It just has to 857 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: James Gunn, who is a part of Warner Brothers, is 858 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 1: the biggest proponent of that right now, saying we're not 859 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: going to make a superhero movie unless we have the story. 860 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: We're not just going to put some character out into 861 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: the theaters because it has a big fandom. Man, We're 862 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: not throwing in random cameos or post credit scenes just 863 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: to introduce characters. If there's not a story there, we're 864 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: not making the movie. And I think that is something 865 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: that Marvel and other studios need to learn. In this 866 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: world where a lot of people say they're superhero fatigue. 867 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: People have been saying that everything is a reboot and 868 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: a remake. For I think probably ever since I've been alive, 869 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: people have been saying nothing is original anymore, and those 870 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: movies still make a lot of money. It's not right 871 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: now that we're sick of everything being part of a 872 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: franchise or being a reboot. Is that we are sick 873 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 1: of mediocre movies with lame stories that go nowhere. Even 874 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: Josh Brolin was doing press for this movie and saying, 875 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 1: I don't get on streaming services. Everything on there is 876 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: so boring. Go see a movie like Weapons that is 877 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: truly unique and worthy of your time. So I think 878 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: for Warner Brothers they have figured that out with finding 879 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: great directors who know how to make these great stories 880 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: come to life. So Weapons, for me, it was an 881 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: almost perfect movie. It's as close as you can get. 882 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: I think I've just been more hesitant now about handing 883 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 1: out fives, because now I truly feel that a five 884 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: comes with time. It comes with seeing a movie maybe 885 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: for a second time in theaters, or spending more time 886 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 1: with it at home than it becomes one I throw 887 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: into the rotation. So I feel like this is one 888 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 1: that could grow. But I also think that Zach Kreiger 889 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: hasn't put out his best movie yet. So for Weapons, 890 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: I gave it four out of five kids running with 891 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: their arms out like they're holding heavy bags at groceries 892 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:22,240 Speaker 1: four point five out of five of those. It's time 893 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: to head down to movie mikes. Traylor Paul, the Hunter 894 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: becomes the Hunted and Predator bad Lands. When I saw 895 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: the trailer for this movie in theaters when it opened up, 896 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: I was like, Ah, here we go, another generic sci 897 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: fi movie. I haven't been one to dive into any 898 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: of the Predator or Alien movies, but one movie earlier 899 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: this year may have changed my mind because this is 900 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 1: coming to us from the same director of Predator, Killer 901 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 1: of Killers, which was an animated movie on Hulu, and 902 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: when I sat down to watch that movie, I just 903 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 1: love animation. Been talking about that a lot in the 904 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I'm just so drawn to it. 905 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: I think you can tell such great, powerful stories with it. 906 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: So I thought, Okay, I'm not fully into Predator, but 907 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: you have a new R rated animated movie in the 908 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 1: Predator universe. Let me check it out. And I freaking 909 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,879 Speaker 1: loved it. It is right up my alley has very 910 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 1: sophisticated animation, some great action, and this is coming to 911 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: us from director Dan Kratchenberg, who also did Prey, which 912 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: is also a pretty big hit for Hulu, and ten 913 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: Cloverfield Lane, which was a pretty good Cloverfield movie, one 914 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: that also kind of went under the radar with John Goodman. 915 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: The original Cloverfield is another movie I just have an 916 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: affinity for back when found footage movies, we're kind of 917 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: having a moment in the late two thousands. But Predator 918 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,959 Speaker 1: Badlands is not an animated movie. It is a live 919 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: action movie coming out on November seventh. It's about this 920 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: alien hunter who gets cast out from their klan and 921 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: then forms this unlikely alliance with this android was played 922 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: by el Fanning, except there's a little bit of a 923 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: twist on her character that you see in the trailer 924 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 1: that we'll talk about more. They go on the journey 925 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,919 Speaker 1: together and there's another bigger predator out to kill both 926 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: of them. It looks like this movie's coming out on 927 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: November seventh. Before we talk about it more, here's just 928 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of the Predator bad Lands trailer. And 929 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: you've come to the most dangerous planet in the universe. 930 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: If you're after a creature that can't be killed, the 931 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: definitive apex predators. I could help you. Well, good luck 932 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 1: with your journey here. You're not the predator, here the prey. 933 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 1: We might not be alone in this hunt. This trailer 934 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,479 Speaker 1: got me hyped. I immediately thought, when does this movie 935 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: come out? Because I cannot watch it soon enough. But 936 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: it starts El Fanning, who you hear mostly in the 937 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: trailer here because she is the one speaking English. She 938 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: is an android, and the reveal in the trailer as 939 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: as soon as Predator picks her up, she only has 940 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: half a her android bodies, so just the torso. It's 941 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: her torso and her arms and her head. It looks 942 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: like she's just been ripped apart. At the very beginning 943 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: of the trailer, she seems to be inside of some 944 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 1: repair chamber, so somebody had it out for her and 945 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: I can't wait to find out what happens more with 946 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: her story. But this movie only has two people listed 947 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 1: in the cast, l Fanning and Demetrius Schuster Colomuntaghi who 948 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: plays the Predator, but he doesn't even speak English in 949 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: this movie. He actually learned an entirely different language that 950 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: was written for this movie by the same person who 951 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: created the language used in the Avatar movies, And those 952 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: are the kind of details that I really buy into 953 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 1: because this actor is primarily a stunt performer, which in 954 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: this case is probably all you needed. But in order 955 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: to play this part, they learned this Predator language. And 956 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,240 Speaker 1: even though this movie is in the Predator universe, which 957 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: isn't directly a part of the Alien universe, although they 958 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: combine themselves a lot, a lot of the companies and 959 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: characters kind of go go back and forth between each other, 960 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: and I think those franchises fit really well together. If 961 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 1: your favorite franchise is Alien or Predator, I feel like 962 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,479 Speaker 1: you are a really cool person because you don't care 963 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: about the flashy things, Because I think the main ones 964 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to sci fi franchises, you're either a 965 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: Star Wars fan or you're a trekkie, and those are 966 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: just very two distinct They're the big boys in town 967 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to sci fi franchises. But if you 968 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: are quietly into Alien or Predator movies, I just feel 969 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 1: like you don't care about anything. You don't care about 970 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: being cool. If you are into these movies, I also 971 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: feel like your favorite sport is like baseball. That's not 972 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: the sexiest of sports. It's not football, it's not basketball. 973 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: But you're just appreciate something that puts as much detail 974 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: into movies like this movie is doing, because they are 975 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 1: trying to expand this universe kind of in the same 976 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: world of where the animated movie I was just talking 977 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: about exists in this new type of world that they 978 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: are building. And I think Hulu is doing this with 979 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: twentieth Century Student because they have this property, so also 980 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: using the same director who did Pray. All these movies 981 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: kind of tie into each other. So I am enjoying 982 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 1: this entire universe that they are starting to build. And 983 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: I think if you're hopping into this right now, it 984 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,440 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like you need to catch up with the 985 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: whole lot. You could maybe go watch Pray, go watch 986 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: Killer Killers, the animated movie, and then go see this 987 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: one in theaters, and now you are into this world, 988 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,280 Speaker 1: which this trailer does a really good job at showing 989 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: you how immersive the world is going to be. And 990 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: that is really what stuck out to me about this trailer, 991 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: because what we heard in that was a little bit 992 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: of the story of them meeting him, not wanting to 993 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: team up with her. They are able to understand each other. 994 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: You see the subtitles of what the Predator is saying. Essentially, 995 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to believe that he is now being hunted. 996 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 1: He's like, no, nobody hunts me. I am the Predator. 997 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to take this person down. She tells him, like, no, 998 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,319 Speaker 1: this person who is after you cannot be beat. So 999 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: I think we're going to see him, like we see 1000 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: in the trailer, go up against somebody really big, and 1001 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: to have somebody who is an unstoppable force that, for 1002 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: the most part in this franchise is the hunter hunting 1003 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: the humans. This movie is flipping the script and taking 1004 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: that antagonist and making them the protagonist. So I always 1005 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: love a good anti hero story. Maybe it's a story 1006 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: of redemption of somebody who has done bad things in 1007 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 1: the past and somebody who probably doesn't really want to 1008 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 1: do good things, but man, they are not gonna let 1009 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 1: somebody take them out at something that they are known for. 1010 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: I first saw the trailer when we went to Fantastic 1011 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: Four and we saw that in Imax, and seeing this 1012 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 1: on a screen of that size just felt right. It 1013 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: felt like this movie should have come out in the 1014 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: dead of summer. But I think because of how competitive 1015 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five summer blockbuster season was, they maybe 1016 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: decided with the franchise like this that, even though it 1017 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 1: does have some power to its ip, it's not a Superman, 1018 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: it's not a Fantastic Four, it's not a Jurassic Park. 1019 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: Putting it out later in the year in November, I 1020 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: think maybe sets it up for having the most chance 1021 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: of success, because if I know nerds, they love coming 1022 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,439 Speaker 1: out to support any movie that they want to see 1023 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,399 Speaker 1: at any time of the year. But for people who 1024 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 1: are just casually going to movies, I think that is 1025 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 1: a good time to capitalize on things because in November 1026 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 1: we get a lot of the Oscar bait movies, we 1027 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: get some family movies that gear up more towards Thanksgiving. 1028 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 1: But kind of that sweet spot is that November seventh 1029 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: weekend where we've seen all the horror movies we wanted 1030 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: to see in October, and I think once October thirty 1031 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: first hits for a lot of people, they're over that. 1032 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 1: Even though I believe horror can be seen year round, 1033 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a specific time for me. But they 1034 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 1: tend to put out a lot of horror movies, specifically 1035 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: around Halloween, and then once November hit, you're like, oh, 1036 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: that's disgusting. I don't want to see that anymore. So 1037 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: November seventh for a Predator bad Lands movie, I think 1038 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 1: is also fantastic timing. I think it could really capitalize 1039 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: with some strong marketing because I think this movie does 1040 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: have the power to be a hit because it is 1041 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: the seventh film in this mainline series, in the ninth 1042 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 1: film overall in the franchise. I can't wait to see 1043 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,479 Speaker 1: all the other characters that are gonna arise also hunting them. 1044 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 1: There might be some callbacks to Pray, which that movie 1045 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: took back way in seventeen nineteen. It's not a sequel 1046 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 1: to that movie. It is still a standalone movie, but 1047 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 1: I feel like there might be some little connection there, 1048 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: at least a nod to that movie, because we do 1049 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 1: see some Easter EGX that a out the trailer, and 1050 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm excited just to see a 1051 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 1: movie that is going to force people to read subtitles 1052 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: in theaters. But again, this movie is coming out on 1053 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 1: November seventh, And that was this week's edition of Movie 1054 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 1: li Frame or bar and that is going to do 1055 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: it for another episode here of the podcast. But before 1056 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: I go, I gotta give my listeners shout out of 1057 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 1: the week. This week, I'm going over to my email, 1058 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: which you can always send me an email, Moviemike d 1059 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. All my socials are always linked 1060 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,959 Speaker 1: in the episode notes, but this week I'm shouting out Tim, 1061 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: who wrote me and said love the podcast and thought 1062 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: you'd be the best person to ask. So I keep 1063 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 1: seeing all these offers for one month free of different 1064 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: streaming services, and I'm always tempted, but I never sign up. 1065 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 1: Why because they always ask for a credit card up 1066 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: front and I don't fully trust it. My question is, 1067 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: how do these free trials really work? Am I being 1068 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 1: overly cautious? I just feel like the second I enter 1069 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 1: my credit card info, I'm going to forget to cancel 1070 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: and get charged. Do you use these free trials? Is 1071 00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: there a safe way to take advantage of them without 1072 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: getting burned? Signed Tim, And here's my answer. I get 1073 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: the hesitation. I hate putting in my credit card info 1074 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 1: for a free trial because I'm, like you said, it's free. 1075 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 1: But the reason they do that is because as soon 1076 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: as that one month is done, they're going to charge 1077 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,320 Speaker 1: your credit card and for the most part, continue to 1078 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 1: charge you every month. You've just signed up at that point, 1079 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: but they give you that first month free as incentive. 1080 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 1: The time most recently I've done this was last year 1081 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: Peacock ran a promotion during Black Friday. It was like 1082 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,479 Speaker 1: twenty dollars for an entire year of Peacock, and I thought, 1083 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: to myself, even if I don't use it that often, 1084 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,959 Speaker 1: twenty bucks is a great deal for an entire year 1085 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: of a streaming service. And that was also around the 1086 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 1: time when the NFL was starting to put games specifically 1087 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 1: on Peacock, also with WWE putting their live events on Peacock, 1088 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 1: which that is going to go away next year. It's 1089 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: going to move over all the way to ESPN. But 1090 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 1: I thought, for that low amount, I could buy it, 1091 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,799 Speaker 1: and even if I don't use it, it doesn't feel 1092 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,760 Speaker 1: like a waste of money, because what is twenty bucks 1093 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: spread out over a year. So what I also did, 1094 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: I love scheduling me in email. I schedule myself on 1095 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: email to cancel it as soon as I hit sign up, 1096 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 1: one year away from the date that it's going to 1097 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: charge me. So like the day before he's going to 1098 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: charge me, I have an email schedule telling me to 1099 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 1: go cancel it. Peacock, at least, in my experience, has 1100 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: been an easy one to cancel. That is the one 1101 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 1: streaming service that I've just not kept insistently. Sometimes I'll 1102 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,279 Speaker 1: have it, sometimes i'll cancel it because sometimes they have 1103 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 1: exclusive movies that I want to watch and I'll get 1104 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,879 Speaker 1: it for like a month, or I'll utilize a free 1105 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 1: trial or take advantage of a sale like this. But 1106 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 1: that one lets you cancel pretty easy. I don't know 1107 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: how easy some of the other ones are to cancel, 1108 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: because haven't had to do that. Although sometimes when you cancel, 1109 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,359 Speaker 1: they're like, no, don't go well over the price. So 1110 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: my advice to you is you might be a little 1111 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 1: bit overly cautious. They won't charge you. They can't just 1112 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 1: straight up charge you if you cancel before that, So 1113 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: just schedule an email, schedule a text on your phone, 1114 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,200 Speaker 1: write it on your calendar, depending on how old school 1115 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: you are, and they will not charge you. Just make 1116 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 1: sure you have that reminder because if you don't, you're 1117 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: gonna get charged. And there are so many streaming services 1118 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,439 Speaker 1: right now, I hate the way everybody is shifting things. 1119 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: It's getting annoying. I don't know what I have and 1120 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,920 Speaker 1: what I don't have. Some things don't even feel exclusive anymore. 1121 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,359 Speaker 1: We're basically just going back to cable. So I think 1122 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 1: that's the way this is going to go down in 1123 00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 1: three to five years, where all these companies realize that 1124 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: they would make more money if they all just merge together. 1125 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: So we're going to go back to cable eventually. It's 1126 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: just not going to be like it used to be, hopefully, 1127 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: But they're not a scam. Just remember to cancel before 1128 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: they charge you. So thank you for that question. If 1129 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: you ever have questions like that, you can email me 1130 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: like Tim did, or you can send me a DM 1131 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: even if it's not directly podcast related. You just have 1132 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: a question you want to know, hit me up. Thank 1133 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: you for listening, thank you for being subscribed, And until 1134 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 1: next time, go out and watch Good Boobies and I 1135 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: will talk to you later
