Today I want to share 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: with you my top ten Christopher Nolan films of all time. 4 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: We'll rank his entire filmography. In the movie review, we'll 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: be talking about the best horror movie I've seen this 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: year called Talk to Me. And in the trailer Park 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: we'll keep the horror theme alive and talk about the 8 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: new Exorcist movie. It's being rebooted yet again. We have 9 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: Exorcist Believer coming to us later this year. Thank you 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: for being subscribed, thank you for listening every single week. 11 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: And now movie crew, let's talk movies. 12 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 14 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with glasses. 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: From the Nashville Podcast Network. This is movie Mike's Movie Podcast. 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: We are coming off the hype of Oppenheimer, and in 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: my review last week I said that Oppenheimer is not 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: a top Christopher Nolan film, and some people lost their minds. 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: I was not saying in. 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 3: Any way that it is a bad movie. It is 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: a five out of five film. 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: But Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: our lifetime, so those top five spots are so coveted 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: to me, and there are movies that have been with 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: me for so long now that to me, after watching Oppenheimer, 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: it did not penetrate that top five, although it was 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: so good and it moved me in a way I 29 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: was not expecting coming off of it. I didn't want 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: to be like, this is the best movie I've ever seen. 31 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: That's how I feel sometimes there's recently biased. When you 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: go watch a movie like that, you automatically think it 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: is number one. I think we'll look back in a 34 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: couple of years and remember how good it was. But 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: comparing it to the work we've been able to sit 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: with of his and know for so long and have 37 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: time to study and divulge it fully, I still think 38 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: it will not be top five in another two or 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: three years. And that is how much I know Christopher 40 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: nolan movies. You really had to sit with him and 41 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: chew on them and really dive into all the things 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: he covers in one movie, and Appenheimer being a three 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: hour movie, there's a lot to dive into. So that 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: is a movie I will spend a lot of time 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: with in the years to come. But looking at my 46 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: top five of the movies he has made over his career, 47 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: it is not quite there to me. So after saying 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: that and seeing some people outraged by that statement, I 49 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: decided to dive into this fully and share with you 50 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: my thoughts on his top ten movies of all time. 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: Now Christopher Nolan has directed twelve, we're doing a top 52 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: ten because I'm looking at this long term. I will 53 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: update this list as he puts out more movies, so 54 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: I will let you know what makes my top ten 55 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: and what I think about those other two movies that 56 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: sit out of this top ten. 57 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: But let's look into Christopher Nolan. 58 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: If you're not fully familiar with his work, he has 59 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: directed twelve movies. His movies have made five billion dollars worldwide. 60 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: He's been nominated for five Oscars, but surprisingly has no wins. 61 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: I think that changes after this year. His movies have 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: one Oscars, but he hasn't won the Big Prize for 63 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: Best Picture or Best Director. He is a British American filmmaker, screenwriter, 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: and producer. He was born on July thirtieth, nineteen seventy 65 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: in London, England. He is known for movies that are 66 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: very innovative in their storytelling. They have these very complex 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: narratives you really have to chew with a lot of 68 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: the themes, and oftentimes, as we'll get into in this list, 69 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: you have to rewatch them to fully get them, at 70 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: least for me anyway. He also has very visually stunning 71 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: films that really pushes the envelope on filmmaking. So all 72 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: the things that make up a Christopher Nolan movie are 73 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: very mind bending concepts. He also uses a lot of 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: practical effects and very minimal cgi, which is important to 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: the integrity of filmmaking. Is the way he sees it. 76 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: His movies have a lot of emotional depths. They are 77 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: very tense and suspenseful in their storytelling. He also has 78 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: very ambiguous endings that sometimes stories just kind of end 79 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and then as the viewer, you have to decide where 80 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: the characters go from there, and a lot of people 81 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: love or hate this approach. Personally, don't like it when 82 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: everything's wrapped up into a nice little package. I like 83 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: to have some thought after watching a movie, thinking where 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: these characters are going to go next, so if done correctly, 85 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: I like an ambiguous ending. He also has a lot 86 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: of collaborators that he works with with Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: Killian Murphy, Christian Bale. The list goes on and on. 88 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: It's like he has this palette of paints that he 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: likes to paint his pictures with and that is what 90 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: makes up his cast for the most part. So let's 91 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: get right into this list now, not making the top ten. 92 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: At number twelve, I would put nineteen ninety eight's following. 93 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: This was his directorial debut. 94 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 1: It was directed, written, and even edited by Christopher Nolan 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: himself in a very very cheap way, so the film 96 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: is only an hour long, making it his shortest film 97 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: to date. It's about a struggling writer who tags along 98 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: with a thief on a series of burglaries to gain 99 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: inspiration for his novel. To me, this movie is kind 100 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: of like when a musician puts out their initial work, 101 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: maybe an EP or a mixtape, to really put them 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: on the map. But I don't really feel that as 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: their first collaborative work. I always look at their first 104 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: full official, full length, So that's why I would put 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: this movie at number twelve. At number eleven, I would 106 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: put twenty twenty's ten. And that's even with how much 107 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to love that movie and what it did 108 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: with the technology, the boundaries that tried to push, it 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: just didn't really make sense to me, even after watching 110 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: it for the second time. Christopher Nolan is a director 111 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: who doesn't miss, but with this one tenant twenty twenty 112 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: he missed. And I'm sorry to say that, but everything 113 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: in the top ten, I would say, is not a 114 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: miss whatsoever. These are all top tier movies that would 115 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: be any single director's one claim to fame. But the 116 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: fact that he has ten of these is amazing. So 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: here we go into the top ten. Now, at number ten, 118 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm putting two thousand and fives Batman begins, and you 119 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: gotta think of the landscape of superhero movie in the 120 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: two thousands, and also just the way we viewed Batman movies, 121 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: which in the nineties for the most part there towards 122 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: the end, really struggled and left a bad taste in 123 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: everybody's mouth. With movies like Batman and Robin in nineteen 124 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: ninety seven, they were viewed as more comical and cheesy 125 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: and seemed like they were only being released in order 126 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: to sell toys to kids. And eight years later you 127 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: have another Batman movie, and everybody thought, Oh, they're making 128 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: another Batman movie, but we were not expecting it to 129 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: be as dark and gritty. And even though we didn't 130 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: fully get that picture and Batman Begins, I remember kind 131 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: of losing interest in Batman at this time. I was 132 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: probably fourteen years old, and I remember the thought of 133 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: another Batman movie. As much as I loved Batman, I 134 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: wasn't fully invested in this, so I didn't go see 135 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: this movie in theaters and didn't watch it until later 136 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: when it came out on DVD. So over the years, 137 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: I've been able to love what this movie did in 138 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: this entire triller and what it went on to do 139 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: for the superhero genre in general. But I almost feel 140 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: like this movie did all the legwork to get us 141 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: to the Dark Night. 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: So I appreciate this movie for what it did. 143 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: It just to me, even looking back at it now, 144 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: doesn't really feel like a true Batman movie because it 145 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: deals so much with the liga shadows. So it's still 146 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: a good movie, just not my favorite. That's why I 147 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: put Batman Begins from two thousand and five at number ten. 148 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: At number nine, I have Momento from the year two thousand. 149 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: This was Christopher Nolan's breakout hit and maybe, to some 150 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: his most confusing film. But I think I went into 151 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: it knowing that it was gonna be confusing, that I 152 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: allowed myself to be confused. And I think if you 153 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: go into a movie like this and know that you're 154 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: not gonna fully get everything, it allows you to enjoy 155 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: it a little bit more. And that is kind of 156 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: how I feel going into any Christopher Nolan movie that 157 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: maybe I don't fully get it, but I'm going to 158 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: interpret it how I want. I'm going to draw my 159 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: own conclusions as the viewer and take everything that he 160 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: puts on screen and make my own assumptions of it. 161 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: And that is exactly how I felt after watching Momento, 162 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: especially once you get to the ending of this movie, 163 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: where it seems like everything you just watch was an 164 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: entire lie and. 165 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: You have no idea what to believe. 166 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Can you believe this narrator, this guy you've been following 167 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: this entire movie. I just love the concept of this movie, 168 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: and I believe this was his most ambitious film in storytelling, 169 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: and this is the reason he was put onto the 170 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: map in two thousand. Without this movie, he really wouldn't 171 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: have been able to make anything else. It was Momento, 172 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: and then it was the Dark Knight trilogy. This is 173 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: the one that really set him apart as a director. 174 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: So maybe it didn't fully hit with everybody, but this 175 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: movie was so important on all the movies that were 176 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: to follow, and I feel like, at its core, this 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: is what a Christopher Nolan movie needs to be. Now, 178 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: it may take you one, two, or even three or 179 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: four or five views to fully get this movie, and 180 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: maybe you have different interpretations after each time. 181 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: You watch it. 182 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: But the power of that, the beauty of that, is 183 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: the reason I think Momento is such a great movie. 184 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: So even though I do have it ranked on the 185 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: lower side, I still really love this movie. It's just 186 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: not one that I would throw on in a random 187 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: time and just have on in the background and watch 188 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: over and over again. But if I allow myself to 189 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: be fully invested and sit down with Momento, it is 190 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: a great movie. But that is why I rank it 191 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: at number nine. Moving on to number eight, the movie 192 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: he made after that one is two thousand and two's Insomnia. 193 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this movie and maybe it's one of 194 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: his more straight ahead crime dramas and probably his most 195 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: thriller like movie of all of his movies. And it 196 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: is the only movie that Christopher Nolan did not write 197 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: or even co write the screenplay, and I think that 198 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: does show when watching this entire movie. But I feel 199 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: like the story is so good. It is one that 200 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: he probably sat down with and thought, I need to 201 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: make this movie, even though it is not my full creation. 202 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: But what Insomnia is about. It's about two Los Angeles 203 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: detectives who are investigating a homicide in Alaska. And the 204 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: main detective is played by al Pacino, who is so 205 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: good in a Christopher Nolan movie, and he accidentally kills 206 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: his partner and it involves a cover up of his murder. 207 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: You have another murderer played by Robin Williams, who, Oh 208 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, just seeing Robin Williams in a movie again 209 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: just warms my heart. I actually rewatched this movie in 210 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: preparation for this episode, and it brought back all these feelings. 211 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: So the cast in this movie is really great with 212 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Al Pacino, Hillary Swank and Robin Williams. Maybe not as 213 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: tacked as all his movies would be to follow, but 214 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: to have all these actors in one movie is amazing. 215 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: And what I love about Insomnia is it really starts 216 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: to show the way Christopher Nolan handles pacing and handles 217 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: building tension. You really get the first taste of it here. 218 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: It's not his full style yet with the score and everything, 219 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: but you really get that anticipation in this entire movie 220 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: that you're building towards something that isn't going to be pleasant. 221 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: And as the viewer, you. 222 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: Experience the insomnia that al Pacino's character is facing. He 223 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: can't sleep, He has all these thoughts swarming through his head, 224 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: he has a lot weighing on his heart, and it 225 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: all goes back to the fact that he can't sleep. 226 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: He's not thinking clearly, and through his filmmaking, Christopher Nolan 227 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: allows you, as the viewer to also feel more and 228 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: more tired and more and more just not thinking clearly, 229 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: just like the character, just by watching this movie. So 230 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: I think it is his most anxiety inducing movie because 231 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: you feel that character having no rest as the viewer. 232 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: So at number eight, I have two thousand and two's Insomnia. 233 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: At number seven, I'm going with twenty fourteen's Dunkirk, which 234 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: is the story about several Allied soldiers as they are 235 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, as German forces 236 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: attempt to wipe them out. 237 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 3: The reason I. 238 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: Love this movie is I love stories that immediately drop 239 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: you into the action of the film, and that is 240 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: exactly what Dunkirk does. 241 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 3: I feel like this is also. 242 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: One of his most renowned movies because it was nominated 243 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: for Best Picture, he was nominated for Best Director, and 244 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: it is the highest grossing World War Two film ever made. 245 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: And not only that, you get Harry Styles. And I 246 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: remember being so excited about seeing Harry Styles in a 247 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: movie like this and thinking it was just gonna be 248 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: the guy from one direction in a war movie. But 249 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: I think he surprised us all in being such a 250 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: great actor, even though he did have a smaller part 251 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of this entire movie. But everything 252 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: about this movie was so well executed. And I remember 253 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: from seeing the first initial teaser of Dunkirk that it 254 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: immediately had me drawn into the action. And that is 255 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: what really sets this movie apart from any other Christopher 256 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: Nolan film, because he is great at putting you in 257 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: the shoes of these characters and allowing you to feel 258 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: what they feel. And I feel like Dunkirk is the 259 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: best example of that, putting you in the war zone. 260 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: I remember that first teaser of seeing all the soldiers 261 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: looking up at something approaching them, a bomb or a missile. 262 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: In that teaser, you don't really know what it is, 263 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: but I remember having that feeling while watching this entire movie. 264 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: So it is anxiety inducing in a different way. I 265 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: guess in movies, I'm just always trying to feel something 266 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: like that, because maybe I don't always feel it in 267 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: the real world, but I feel like visually too. This 268 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: is one that I just love because the color palette 269 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: has this very rich kind of blue color to it, 270 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: and it feels very cool and inviting, even though it 271 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: is a war film. And this is also one of 272 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: the most memorable theater experiences I've had while watching a 273 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan film. So at number seven, I have twenty 274 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: fourteen's Dunkirk at number six. You should already know what 275 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: it is because I said it is not a top 276 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: five Christopher Nolan film. It is twenty twenty three's Oppenheimer. 277 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: I've had a week now to process this movie, and 278 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I still feel really comfortable putting it right now here. 279 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: This movie is very profound with its bold visuals. Seeing 280 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: it inn iMX seventy milimeter the way I did really 281 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: emphasized and highlighted all of the visual aspects of this movie. 282 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: It has a great soundtrack, a great score that is 283 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: very memorable, and out of every movie on this list, 284 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: there is really no action to it, but it doesn't 285 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: need it. 286 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: It is all dialogue. 287 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: But through that dialogue it is able to build this 288 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: tension and move you in places that you didn't think 289 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: a movie driven. 290 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: By dialogue can move you to. So it's still a 291 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: five out of five. 292 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: Film, but it's not a five out of five Golden 293 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: plated platinum film that will make it into my top five. 294 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: So Oppenheimer just misses out of the top five slot, 295 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: but still a perfect film. But let's get into it now. 296 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: My top five Christopher Nolan films of all time. At 297 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: number five, I have the Prestige from two thousand and six. 298 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: It is a movie about two rivals magicians played by 299 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, and they are trying to 300 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: sabotage each other because they. 301 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: Performed the same trick. 302 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: And I think the reason I love this movie so 303 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: much is because it does deal with magic. I think 304 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: there is something about magic that no matter what kind 305 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: of person you are, you are going to find fascinating 306 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: because you are trying to figure out the trick. And 307 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: I feel like this movie created a trademark of Christopher Nolan. 308 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: It is the misdirection. I feel like after he made 309 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: this movie he became a magician himself, because in all 310 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: of his movies he is trying to push you onto 311 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: one thing and look in one way when really there's 312 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: something else going on over here that you're not paying 313 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: attention to. It is the classic misdirection that a magician does. 314 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: They try to make you look at their right hand 315 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: when they are actually doing something with their left hand 316 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: that is causing the trick to happen. That is what 317 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: he does in the Prestige, and that is what he 318 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: does in a lot of his other movies that create 319 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: these mind bending moments. And sometimes a twist can be 320 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: seen as kind of cheesy, like oh, this person was 321 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: dead the whole time, Ah, I didn't see it coming. 322 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan doesn't do that. He does the misdirection. And 323 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: although on paper. Maybe it's a twist. It is much 324 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: more mind blowing when there's been something in front of 325 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: your eyes the entire time, you just haven't seen it. 326 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: You've been thinking about it one way when it is 327 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: really this way. And that is what The Prestige was. 328 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: And I remember watching this movie for the first time 329 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: and thinking, this is the best movie I've ever seen, 330 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: and I will never see anything greater than The Prestige. 331 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: It's because I'm fascinated with magic. I am fascinated with 332 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: psychological thrillers. Aside from probably superhero movies, they are my 333 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: favorite genre of movies. So this movie has both of 334 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: those things going for it. You also have Hugh Jackman, 335 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: who I wish could have been in more Criscipher Nolan films, 336 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: just like I wish Al Pacino would have been in 337 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: more Christopher Nolan films. And oddly enough, in two thousand 338 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: and six, there was a similar movie put out, a film, 339 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: if you will, call The Illusionists with Ed Norton. I 340 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: watched them both, but by far The Prestige was the 341 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: better movie. So at number five, I have two thousand 342 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: and six The Prestige. At number four, I have from 343 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: twenty twelve The Dark Knight Rises. This is the one 344 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that people always want. 345 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: To rip me to shreds for. 346 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: But I will stand by The Dark Knight Rises and 347 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: being such a great film because I love this opening scene, 348 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: one of my top ten favorite opening scenes of all time, 349 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: rivaled only by its predecessor, that scene with Bain and 350 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: that airplane. It just gave me this daunting feeling going 351 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: into watching The Dark Knight Rises. I honestly believe the 352 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: reason people don't like this movie as much is because 353 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: everybody was comparing it to The Dark Knight. You can't 354 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: compare the two. You really can't compare all of the 355 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: movies in this trilogy because Batman Begins is the rising action, 356 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: the Dark Knight is that climate of the entire story, 357 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and The Dark Knight Rises is the falling action and conclusion. 358 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: But I feel like it is such a great ending 359 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: on the trilogy, and it is due to the fact 360 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: that Bain is such a force and such a great villain. 361 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: At times, I would argue that he is actually a 362 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: better villain to Batman than the Joker was, because the 363 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: Joker was just chaos. He was gonna do what he 364 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: wanted to do no matter what Batman just happened to 365 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: get in the way, but Bain literally broke the back 366 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: of Batman, got under his skin and not only broke 367 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: him physically, but also broke him mentally to a point 368 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: of no return. 369 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: So I felt like the opening scene was great. 370 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: Bain was such a great villain throughout this entire movie 371 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: that you think, like, is Batman really going to be 372 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: able to break him down. It also has one of 373 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: my favorite scenes of the explosion that goes down at 374 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: the football field, which watching that scene in a theater 375 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: is one of my core memory moments of movie watching. 376 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: The only issue I had with The Dark Knight Rises 377 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: was the way Batman eventually defeated Baine. I do feel 378 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: like they kind of minimize his entire character, and that 379 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: is the only thing I would change in this movie. 380 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even change the ending, which. 381 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: Has that classic Christopher Nolan ambiguous ending. I like drawing 382 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: my own conclusions of what happens next, what Batman does 383 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: when he goes into hiding, what Robin does after discovering 384 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: the back cave. 385 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 3: I thought it was the perfect. 386 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: Ending, especially with Christopher Nolan saying recently that he has 387 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: done with that he will never make another one, and 388 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: they shouldn't. Even though Christian Bell says he would be 389 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: on board. If Christopher Nolan ever had a story to tell, 390 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: I just don't think there would ever be one. He 391 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: did it in the trilogy, he did it so well. 392 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: So at number four, I have The Dark Knight rises. 393 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: At number three from twenty ten, I have inception this 394 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: is a movie. First time I saw it in theaters, 395 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: didn't fully get it, but I knew I loved it. 396 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: I knew I was watching something really and this movie 397 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: was highly influential on my love of watching and reviewing 398 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: and talking about movies. If it wouldn't have been for 399 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: this movie in the twenty tens, I don't think I 400 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: would be doing this right now because I love the 401 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: complexity of this story of going from a dream into 402 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: a dream into another dream. 403 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 3: And I think even. 404 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: Now, this is the movie that just gets referenced so 405 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: much in pop culture and in different situations that it 406 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: was so important in the twenty tens and so important 407 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: to Christopher Nolan's career to not just be the guy 408 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: who made the Dark Knight movie. 409 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: So without this. 410 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: Movie, I don't think he would have been able to 411 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: make all the other movies. 412 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: Outside of the Dark Knight genre. 413 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: So essentially, he made the Dark Knight trilogy to be 414 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: able to make any movie that he wanted, and the 415 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: first one just happened to be Inception, which was so 416 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: great and different. So I think we've all seen and 417 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: know the story about Inception, But it's about Leonardo DiCaprio's character, 418 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: who is the leader of this band of thieves and 419 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: they are trying to steal information from a very high 420 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: profile person played in this movie by the one and 421 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: only Killian Murphy, and the idea is to be able 422 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: to do that in their dreams without them ever knowing. 423 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: So the objective of the mission is to plant an 424 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: idea inside their brain to make it seem like they're 425 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: the ones that came up with it, the perfect crime. 426 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: But the twist is that a subconscious has all these layers, 427 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: and in the movie, they have to keep going a 428 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: step further and further, going a dream into a dream, 429 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: and things get a little bit more complex every time 430 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: you do that, time slows down a little bit more, 431 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: and if you die there, you die. 432 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 3: In real life. 433 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: So I feel like that concept for me was pretty 434 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: easy to understand. 435 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: I think where we all get lost a little bit. 436 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: Is what's going on with Leonardo DiCaprio's character and where 437 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: exactly he is at the end of the movie, which 438 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: again you have that trademark Christopher Nolan ambiguous ending is 439 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: he in a dream, is he in Israel life? 440 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: Is that his time? 441 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: Or is he imagining the situation in his subconscious And 442 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan actually talked about this in a recent interview 443 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: and said essentially that Leonardo DiCaprio's character doesn't care where 444 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: he is. He doesn't care if he is still dreaming 445 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: or if he is in the real world. His totem 446 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: just spins indefinitely. I also think this movie was so 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: highly influential in the visual aspect of it, and it 448 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: has been ripped off by so many filmmakers, but no 449 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: one has done it quite like Christopher Nolan. So at 450 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: number three I have twenty ten's Inception, and at number 451 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: two I have from twenty fourteen Interstellar. This is the 452 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: movie that took me the longest to fully appreciate. Quite honestly, 453 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: the first time I saw this movie, I did not 454 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: like it. I would probably have put this movie at 455 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: the bottom of my list. I thought it was very long, 456 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was very boring, and I fully didn't 457 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: get the emotional aspect of this movie, but I gave 458 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: it another chance. 459 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 3: Still didn't get it. 460 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: I gave it yet another chance, and I was like, Okay, 461 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: I get it a little bit more. And I realized 462 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: the passion that some people had about this movie, and 463 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: I felt like there was just something I was missing. 464 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: And it wasn't really until about two years ago in 465 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, where I started rewatching a bunch of things 466 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: because there were no new things coming out that I 467 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: really sat down with Interstellar and really allowed myself to 468 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: be immersed in this movie. And after rewatching it in 469 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, I finally realized the beauty I was missing 470 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: in this movie. I think I was just trying to 471 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: look at it as a sci fi film. I was 472 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: so focused on that aspect of the film that I 473 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: was looking past Matthew McConaughey's character, this ex astronaut turned 474 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: farmer sent to find another planet to save humanity, and 475 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: thinking about the journey his character goes through in that 476 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: emotional moment of realizing that he has been communicating with 477 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: this daughter and how far ahead of time he went 478 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: into that all those things just kind of resonated with me, 479 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: and a light switch kind of went off in my 480 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: brain and I fully got it, and I understand the 481 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: complexity of the story. I understand the complexity of the ending. 482 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: And then, for some reason, in that moment, the score 483 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: of the movie just fully hit me, and it made 484 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: me so emotional that I realized I had been missing 485 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: it the entire time, and Christopher Nolan had been showing 486 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: me and trying to tell me the effects of going 487 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: through a black hole and leaving behind the ones you 488 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: love the most and not following through on this promise. 489 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: It just hit me right in the gut and moved 490 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: from the bottom of my list to being number two. 491 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: And I think for that reason that of any movie 492 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: on this list, this is the movie that he really 493 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: struck something that will be remembered long after he is 494 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: no longer on this planet, long after he is no 495 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: longer making films. And that is the other thing about 496 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan. Some directors of his caliber maybe moved past 497 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: their prime. He is still in it, so he may 498 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: still have another Interstellar in him. But I think I 499 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: don't know him personally, but I feel like of all 500 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: the movies he would save in a fire, or the 501 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: movie he would only want to be remembered for. If 502 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: he could only be remembered for one, I truly feel 503 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: like it would be Interstellar, and if it wasn't from 504 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: my personal connection with the number one movie, this could 505 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: easily be my number one. But nonetheless, Interstellar is at 506 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: number two. So number one is The Dark Knight from 507 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, the movie that I credit with 508 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: changing the course of superhero movies. I have referenced this 509 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: movie so much on this podcast, and for the longest 510 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: time it has been my number one movie of all time. 511 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: This movie has all of my favorite aspects of what 512 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: makes Christopher Nolan great in one movie, starting with that 513 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: opening scene, the best opening scene in any movie I 514 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: have ever witnessed, and it is the bank robbery scene. 515 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: Everything from the last minute detail from the wardrobe choices 516 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: and the Joker mass being a reference to one showcase 517 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: in the TV show way back in the day, the 518 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: way the Joker is revealed in that opening scene and 519 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: how he drives the bus out into traffic, showing that 520 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: the entire thing was so well orchestrated, showing you the 521 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: mind of the Joker and knowing that he is going 522 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: to be madness to deal with in this entire movie. 523 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: And then of course it is Heath Ledger stealing the 524 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: show in the Dark Knight, giving us one of the 525 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: best on screen performances of all time, winning an oscar 526 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: after his death, and making it a performance that no 527 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: one else can really touch, and making the character of 528 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: the Joker something that now is so coveted to play. Yeah, 529 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson did it back in the day, but now 530 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: there is just so much of a standard on anybody 531 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: who puts on the Joker makeup to live up to 532 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: even a fraction of what Heath Ledger did, no one 533 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: will ever touch it. I will argue that they can 534 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: make a better Joker movie post Heath Ledger, allowing you 535 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: really get into the little things that make him tick 536 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: and having an entire movie to focus on one character, 537 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: but no one will ever give a performance like Heath 538 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Ledger did. Everything is so refined in this movie and 539 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: the story is just bulletproof where there is not one second, 540 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: not one scene, you would take away to make this 541 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: movie better. And there are just so many great and 542 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: memorable scenes from the opening, from the Joker crashing the party. 543 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: But I think still the best scene out of the 544 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: entire movie is that interrogation scene between Batman and the Joker. 545 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: Where in that scene or do you realize the greatness 546 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: that is Heath Ledger? That you are looking at this 547 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: character he is portraying, But at no point in that 548 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: scene do you see Heath Ledger underneath that makeup. In 549 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: my mind and probably a lot of people's minds, you 550 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: just feel like this Joker character exists in this world 551 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: like you are in Gotham looking at a LifeCam in 552 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: this interrogation scene, because he plays it so well that 553 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: there is not even a glimmer that there is a 554 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: real human underneath that person, because the character is so convincing. 555 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 3: And it is that scene alone that cements this movie 556 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 3: as my number one. 557 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: And this was the movie that paved the way for 558 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: every other superhero movie that came after it, whether it 559 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: be in the MCU or whether it be in DC. 560 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: So that is it at number one. I have The 561 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: Dark Knight from two thousand and eight, and that is 562 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: my list. 563 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: Whenever he makes another couple. 564 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: Movies, we'll go back and maybe rerank the list after 565 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: I rewatch him again. 566 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 3: For the fiftieth time. 567 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: If you want to let me know what your favorite 568 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan film is, you can hit me up on 569 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: any social media platform at Mike dstro or email me 570 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: Moviemike d at gmail dot com.

Let's get into a 575 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: spoiler free movie review now. I want to tell you 576 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: about the new A twenty four horror movie called Talk 577 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: to Me, which is now easily my favorite horror movie 578 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: of the year. It is a story about this group 579 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: of teenagers that come into possession of an embalmed hand. 580 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: It's this little sculpture looking thing and they put it 581 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: on the table and whenever you put your hand next 582 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: to this hand and say talk to me, you are 583 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: suddenly able to communicate with the dead. And what I 584 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: love about this story is that it just kind of 585 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: puts you in this world, doesn't really give. 586 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: You a whole lot of origin of. 587 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: Why this is going on, how they got the thing. 588 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: It really sets the stage in the opening scene pretty quickly. 589 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: Within three minutes, you see this guy essentially get possessed 590 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: by some kind of demon, stab his brother and then 591 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: kill himself, and that is the introduction to the story, 592 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: and then you fully get engulfed into the lives of 593 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: these teenagers who have just somehow have this hand in 594 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: The possession doesn't really get a whole lot into the backstory, 595 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: which I love. You just kind of exist in their 596 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: world and they are having these parties where they put 597 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: the hand on the table, they light a candle, somebody 598 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: gets on the other end. They strap them in and 599 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: while they're holding the hand, they say, talk to me, 600 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: and suddenly somebody appears across the table, somebody dead, and 601 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: they are able to communicate with them, and then they 602 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: say the other phrase, I let you in. And after 603 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: that all hell breaks loose because that demonic presence suddenly 604 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: inhabits their body and they just start saying all these 605 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: random phrases, all these weird things come out of them. 606 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: Their eyes go black, and then it's the job of 607 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 1: the person who essentially puts them under to snap them 608 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: out of it. So you can only stay in this 609 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: state for about a minute or so, otherwise something even 610 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: more awful is going to happen. And what I love 611 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: about this movie and really all a twenty four films, 612 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: is they always feel very novel, even though the concept 613 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: isn't anything out of the realm of what. 614 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 3: We've seen in a horror movie. 615 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: What it does it does really well and it has 616 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: this very specific style from these new directors who are Australian, 617 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: who are twin brothers, and I think they completely crushed 618 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: their film debut. So you have Australian twins, Danny and 619 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: Michael Philippo, and I am so impressed that they just 620 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: had this clear vision that they wanted to do and 621 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: were able to completely nail it in their film debut, 622 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: because sometimes as a movie fan, I get worried that 623 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: people aren't going to want to direct new movies anymore. 624 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: I feel that it's harder and harder to get a 625 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: movie made in the world of YouTube and TikTok, that 626 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: it'll get harder and harder for a kid to live 627 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: out his or her dream to have their vision come 628 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: to life. So I want to get into the things 629 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: they really nailed in this movie. It really starts off 630 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: in the first three minutes. Really, that's the tone and 631 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: for me, Demonic Possession movies are just my favorite genre 632 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: of horror movies, dating back to any Exorcism movie. I 633 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: also have kind of a soft spot for all the 634 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: paranormal activity movies. I know, on paper, those aren't the 635 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: greatest movies, but there's just something about those storylines and 636 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: the fact that those movies are made for such a 637 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: low amount of money but provide so many big thrills 638 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: and scares that. 639 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 3: I just really love what those movies did for horror. 640 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: So anything that involves anybody being possessed or talking to 641 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: the dead, or just things moving around in a room, 642 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: that is what I look for, and this movie had 643 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: a lot of that, But it never felt cheap or 644 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: cheesy in any way. And I think that is really 645 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: what kind of set this movie apart from anything else 646 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: being put out right now, is it had this tone 647 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: that it carried throughout the entire movie. Now, however, I 648 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: don't think this movie is just all out scary. You're 649 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: not gonna watch it and immediately have nightmares. It is 650 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: just very, very creepy, and I think the reason that 651 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: really shines through is because all of the performances from 652 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: the actors in this movie, that their performances were really 653 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: able to ground this movie in reality when you have 654 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: all these bizarre things going on, and I think it's 655 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: their connection and able to portray these characters and really 656 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: buy into the storyline of what was happening, and also 657 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: at the same time not questioning everything to some crazy 658 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: extent where I feel like if this movie was Americanized, 659 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: that's where it would have gone. It would have been 660 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: them focusing on the origin of the hand, going to 661 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: somebody's house who's like eighty years old and asking them 662 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: about it, and that eighty year old person like shooting 663 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: them away and telling them never come back here. 664 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 3: That did not happen in this movie. 665 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: And I feel like by avoiding that and a lot 666 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: of other cliches and tropes and horror movies, it was 667 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: able just to live in that world, accept it for 668 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: what it is, and continue. 669 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 3: The ride all the way throughout. 670 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: So I felt a lot of authenticity in their performances, 671 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: but also their use of very practical effects, which was 672 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: also able to give this movie a sense of all 673 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: the demons in this movie were people in costumes and makeup, 674 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: which made it feel a lot more realistic, and that 675 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: also allows you as the viewer to find it a 676 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: lot more believable and think, what if this was happening 677 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: to me, Because it doesn't look like just the random 678 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: CGI ghost. It looks like a real person right there 679 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: that you could sit across from and touch. So I 680 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 1: think that level of practical effect was also really important 681 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: to making this movie creepy. But what really makes this 682 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: film work is it has a good story, which sometimes 683 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: I feel gets overlooked in a horror movie because you're 684 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: trying to spend so much time on the jump scares 685 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: and all the scary elements to make sure it is 686 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: frightening to the viewer. But if you don't have that 687 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: good story, I'm not gonna care about it. I'm not 688 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna be invested in this character getting out of the situation, 689 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: or somebody getting saved or somebody dying. I'm just gonna 690 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, you're gonna come at me with another scare. 691 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: That is fine, But you actually care about the characters 692 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: in this movie, most importantly seventeen year old me, who 693 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: is the main character who is struggling with the death 694 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: of her mom, and as a result of the death 695 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 1: of her mom, her dad is having a hard time 696 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: accepting it. He's become very distant, so their relationship is 697 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: so fractured that she has gone to look for a 698 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: family in other places. So her best friend's family has 699 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: become her own family, and they have been the ones 700 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: who have really taken her in, which leads to a 701 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: very complex situation with everything that unfolds, because it all 702 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: comes back to them messing with the hand and doing 703 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: things they are not supposed to do and finding enjoyment 704 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 1: out of it, which I thought was a unique take 705 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: on a possession story where most oftentimes, whenever there is 706 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: something creepy, they don't want to be a part of it. 707 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: But I guess since because they are teenagers, they find 708 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: it fun. They are filming these things and uploading them 709 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: on the internet, sharing them with their friends, so it's 710 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: almost like they see messing with demons as like this 711 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: roller coaster ride. It kind of reminds me of that 712 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: episode of SpongeBob when SpongeBob and Patrick knowingly ride the 713 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: hooks of fishermen and they ride it all all the 714 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: way up and then right before they get caught, they 715 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: let themselves fall all the way down, but knowing that 716 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: if you stay on that hook long enough that you're 717 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: gonna end up as somebody's dinner and you find out 718 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: what happens in that episode. And at ninety minutes, this 719 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: movie really has no time to mess around and doesn't 720 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: do that by any means. You get to know the 721 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: characters a little bit, but for the majority of the movie, 722 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: there is always just something building towards that next moment, 723 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: and it kind of reminded me of the first time 724 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: I saw The Ring back in the two thousands. It 725 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: had that two thousand psychological supernatural movie feel to me 726 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: with a modern edge. The other thing I really loved 727 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: about this movie is the fact that it didn't leave 728 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: anything on the table. The thing I usually end up 729 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: complaining about the most when it comes to American horror movies, 730 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: especially big budget blockbuster ones, is it always feels like 731 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: they leave things on the table in order to set 732 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: up a sequel, and that results in me feeling like, 733 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: as the viewer, I don't have the best story here 734 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: because they had to add something in to make sure 735 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: it sets up for a part two, or to make 736 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: sure they're building on a franchise. With this one, I 737 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: felt like the Filippo brothers knew like, this is our 738 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: one chance to make a really great movie. Let's throw 739 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: everything at the viewer in this installment and not count 740 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: our eggs before they had to start thinking, well, we. 741 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 3: Got to make a franchise, we got to make a sequel. 742 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: I was satisfied with every single aspect that happened in 743 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: this movie and didn't feel cheated in any way. 744 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 3: And even though I. 745 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: Feel like this is the best horror movie so far 746 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, if I compare it to other 747 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: A twenty four films, or really just any other horror 748 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: film in general in the last five years, I don't 749 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: think Talk to Me necessarily push the envelope to new 750 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: heights and did something completely novel. But what it did 751 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: accomplish in this movie, it did really well and it 752 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: felt very effortless. I never lost interest in the story, 753 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: and they didn't really rely on jump scare moments. Unless 754 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: you're really kind of on edge a horror movies, I 755 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna go into this movie and be like, 756 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: like caught off guard by anything. But with that creepiness 757 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: throughout the entire film, it'll definitely keep you a bit 758 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: on the edge of your seat. So for Talk to Me, 759 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: I give it four out of five and balmed hands. 760 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie mikes. Traylor Paul. 761 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: The Exorcist from nineteen seventy three is one of the 762 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: most scary movies that has ever entered my eyeballs. 763 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 3: And now we are getting a whole new trilogy. 764 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: So they have made several Exorcist movies. This one, coming 765 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: out on October thirteenth of this year, will be the 766 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: sixth installment in the franchise, but it's the first of 767 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: a whole new trilogy, so it's not a full on remake, 768 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: which I'm happy about because if they ever tried to 769 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: remake that original movie, that would be a travesty on film. 770 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: Because still it is one movie that I watch and 771 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: it still gives me the chills, and the movie came 772 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: out in the seventies in a time where. 773 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 3: They were not making movies like this. 774 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to watch on YouTube is 775 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: audience reactions from the very first Exorcist movie. And I 776 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: didn't want to play you a clip of this because 777 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: this movie was so terrifying that people were walking out 778 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: of it. People allegedly were barfing at the sight of 779 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 1: what happens in this first movie. So to get you 780 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: back in the mindset before we talk about this new one. 781 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: This is real life audience reaction that you can find 782 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: on YouTube after people went to go watch The Exorcist 783 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: back when it premiered in nineteen seventy three. 784 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 3: I'm not going back in there. I have a friend 785 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 3: in there alone, and I don't want to leave her 786 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 3: in there alone. I'm not standing here shaking for nothing. 787 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,720 Speaker 3: I about Yeah, it's very, very real. 788 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I want to go home. I 789 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: want to say if it's gonna make me throw a walk. 790 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: Is one of the most growth of movies in the world, 791 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,240 Speaker 1: one of the grossest movies in the world. 792 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 3: I love that line. 793 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: That is footage from its opening night on December twenty sixth, 794 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. The movie caused mass hysteria, which really 795 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: doesn't happen with horror movies anymore, because I think you 796 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: could probably turn on the news and watch something more scary. 797 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: Then you can go into a movie theater and experience. 798 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: But I have a lot of expectations going into this 799 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: movie because it is a part of the Exorcist franchise. 800 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 3: Fifty years ago, there were. 801 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: Things that you could show in movies that would be 802 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: unsettling to people. You hear it there in that clip, 803 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: But now the bar is set so high, And I 804 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 1: was just talking about it in my review of Talk 805 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 1: to Me. 806 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 3: That the playing field has changed. 807 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: So whenever this trailer first dropped, I was wanting to 808 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: see something different. I didn't really care so much about 809 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: the nostalgia factor. I think the movie has been out 810 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 1: so long, it's fifty years old. There's really nothing going 811 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: to get me hype about seeing a character from the 812 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: original movie again. I just wanted them to kind of 813 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: capture that same chilling, haunting feeling with giving it a 814 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: modern edge. 815 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 3: Do I think they will be able to do that? 816 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: After the first glimpse of this trailer, I'm not entirely convinced, 817 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: and I will tell you why. But before I give 818 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: you my full thoughts on the Exorcist Believer, here's just 819 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of the trailer. 820 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 3: Exorcism is a ritual every culture, every religion. They all 821 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 3: use different methods. It's when to take all of them. 822 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 3: Don't be scared. We've met before, mother. 823 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: So this movie centers around a story of two young 824 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: girls who disappear into the woods and they return days later, 825 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: there's all these weird things happening with them now. And 826 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: in the trailer you hear their dad talking to his 827 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: daughter and she thinks she's only been gone for a 828 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: couple hours, and she's been gone for three days. And then, 829 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: much like in the original Exorcist movie, all of these 830 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: demonic things start happening, and death and despair follow these 831 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 1: daughters around everywhere they go, and they realize they need 832 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: to find somebody who has experience with this, and they 833 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: seek the help of Chris McNeil, who was the mom 834 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 1: in the original Exorcist movie and in that one, her 835 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: daughter is the one possessed. Her daughter was played by 836 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: Linda Blair. So, just like in real life, this movie 837 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: also takes place fifty years after the original and the 838 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: character Chris McNeil is the only one still alive from 839 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: that original movie. 840 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 3: It seems like. 841 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 1: So that seems to be the overall plot of this movie. 842 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: And again, this is the first one of a whole 843 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: new trilogy. It's coming out on October thirteenth this year, 844 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: and the next one is called The Exorcist Deceiver, and 845 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,919 Speaker 1: that's supposed to come out on April eighteenth, twenty twenty five. 846 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: And after watching this trailer, I have to say I 847 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 1: was pretty underwhelmed. It felt a little bit safe to me. 848 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: And that's weird to say, because you do get a 849 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: little bit of a glimpse of the possession and the 850 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: fact that this one is dealing with not only one, 851 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: but two victims who will become possessed. There's kind of 852 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: like a tag team demon situation going on here, but 853 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: it kind of relies a little bit on nostalgi debating 854 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: and having some references to the original one. I quite 855 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: honestly don't want it to have anything to do with 856 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: that original movie. I wish it was an entirely new story. 857 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: And again I don't really think her returning as the 858 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: mom and this one is gonna have. 859 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 3: A whole lot of effect on me. 860 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 1: I would have rather seen maybe something with Linda Blair 861 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 1: and her character being repossessed again as an adult, or 862 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: some way that she connected with the daughters in this. 863 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 3: Movie outside of that. 864 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: So in a way, to me, this kind of feels 865 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: how they tried to keep the Halloween franchise going and 866 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: having some connection to the original movie. I think they 867 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,280 Speaker 1: should have just moved on made it an entirely new story, 868 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna waste a lot of time 869 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: in this movie doing that and setting that up. And 870 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: that is what I got worried about after watching this trailer, 871 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: which is three minutes long, kind of long for a trailer. 872 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: I like a two two and a half minute max, 873 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: just to give me a taste of what to expect 874 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: in the movie, because when it starts giving you a 875 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: little bit too much in the trailer, that's when you 876 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: really got to worry, especially with a horror movie, which 877 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: for me, for the most part now, I don't like 878 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: watching an entire horror movie trailer because they always use 879 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: some of the best parts of the movie in that 880 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: trailer to hook you in, and then, much like a 881 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: comedy movie, when they put all the funny parts in 882 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: the trailer, you go see it in theaters and it's 883 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: all kind of ruined for you already. I like to 884 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: go into horror movies really just knowing about the premise, 885 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,839 Speaker 1: maybe one scene at most, and then I just want 886 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: to experience all that action, all that scariness in the 887 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: actual theater. So that's very much the approach I had 888 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: this week going in to talk to me, and the 889 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: thing I worry about is the movie has a two 890 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 1: hour runtime, and I even feel like in that trailer 891 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: it kind of lacked on the pace, which was surprising 892 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: to me that you would put out a trailer that 893 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: I get bored in. I should not get bored in 894 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: a three minute trailer. The trailer is just too long. 895 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: It should have been ninety seconds if that was the case. 896 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: And you also give a lot of way about the 897 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: entire story. I almost feel like I just watched the 898 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: abbreviated movie on YouTube and the entire thing is just 899 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna feel like a almost watered down story. So there 900 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: was nothing impressive to me about this trailer, and that 901 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,879 Speaker 1: is a bummer because I was really excited to see 902 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: the first look at this movie. I had such high 903 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,439 Speaker 1: hopes at them bringing back the Exorcist and making it 904 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: even just the fraction of the amount of terror that 905 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: is captured in that original movie. I'm not really seeing 906 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: it right now. Probably my favorite thing in the trailer 907 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: is Jennifer Nettles, who is getting a lot of really 908 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: great roles right now. I love her in the Righteous 909 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: Gemstones on Max and out of anybody in this trailer. 910 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,959 Speaker 1: For some reason, I'm just drawn to her character being 911 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,240 Speaker 1: the mom of one of these daughters who gets possessed, 912 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: so I can't wait to see what her character goes 913 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: through in this movie. So really, what I'm hoping on 914 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: is that they saved so much of the actual scariness 915 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,320 Speaker 1: for the movie, because they do give you a pretty 916 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: big chunk of it showing what happens with the two 917 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: daughters there at the end of this trailer, you heard 918 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: it there and that clip of them making a reference 919 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: to recognizing the mom from the original movie. But there's 920 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: just something telling me that they showed so much about 921 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: what is going to happen, how that final showdown is 922 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: going to go down, that all of the other elements 923 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 1: aren't really going to be that scary, and it's gonna 924 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: be a very slow burn horror movie, which I just 925 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: want to avoid at all costs. And maybe it's also 926 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,800 Speaker 1: because I have a pretty high standard on exorcism movies. 927 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: My favorite one, hands down is the original one from 928 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, but also two thousand and fives the 929 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: Exorcism of Emily Rose, which was the movie in the 930 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: two thousands that gave me the most vivid nightmares I 931 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 1: had ever had, and I feel like that was the 932 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 1: last movie to really capture any sort of essence of 933 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: that original Exorcist movie. Again, that's coming out on October thirteenth. 934 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still good to check it out, but 935 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: I might not be as happy about it. That was 936 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: this week's edition of Movie Live Tram or Bar and 937 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for another episode here of the podcast. 938 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: But before I go, I got to give my listeners 939 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: shout out of the week.
