Speaker 1: their mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge. He's basically like

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a walking amtvite with classes from the Nashville Podcast Networking cases.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Movie Movie Podcast. About to get into a conversation with

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Billy West. Now, he has a legendary voice actor and

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: I've been a huge fan of his work, everything from

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: his movies to his TV shows. He's basically the voice

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: of my childhood, so it was really cool to get

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: to talk to him. And if you're not familiar with

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Billy West, here's just a list of some of the

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: voices he's done. He is both Wren and Stimpy on

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Rend and Snimpy from Nickelodeon. He's also Doug Funny and

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Roger on Doug Futurama, which is one of my favorite

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: shows too. He's Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Dr Zoidberg's

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: at Brannigan, and a bunch of other characters just on

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Futurama alone. He's also currently the voice of the Red

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Eminem he was the voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: b and those are all the original voices he's created,

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: but he's also voiced iconic characters like Bugs, Bunny, Elmore Fudd, Popeye,

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: and Woody Woodpecker. So we're gonna get into this big

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: discussion of how he gets into the mindset to do

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: these voices, how he comes up with his original voices,

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll get into talking about Space Jam and

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: how he did Bugs Bunny in that movie, which is

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: pretty cool. That the new Space Jam is coming out

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: this Friday, and that the original Space Jam is now

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: available on four K Ultra the in digital for the

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: first time ever. So I want to ask him about

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: that and what I hope you take from this interview

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: is that voice acting is the real deal. It's not

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: just a simple thing that people just sit behind a

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: microphone do these funny voices and it's you know, it's

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: acting just like anybody else would approach acting. So if

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you ever think it's easy, it is not. And especially

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: to get to a level of that. Billy West is

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: at let's hear all about his story. Now here's Billy West.

48
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: All right on now with Billy West. How are you doing?

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good. Um, just woke up. Where do

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the face to day? I don't want to read the

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: headlines because that will spoil my day. But what is

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: the first thing you do when you wake up? Oh? Um,

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I started stretching, I guess because because

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: if I just jump out of that, I'll probably you know,

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: bounce off the floor. What about on the day you're

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: going into maybe do some voice work. What's the kind

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: of first process to get your day started on something

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: like that? Um? I did it early all the time.

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's just a thing. Get up at like

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: six um. Sometimes I mean I love thirty five miles

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: outside of l A. So um, the traffic gets to

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: be beastly. It takes a long time. So to be

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: at a gig at nine am in Los Angeles, I

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: have to leave my house at like, you know, six

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: fifty and on the way over, Like, do you have

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: to like warm your voice up at all at this

67
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: point or are you just so like fine tuned and

68
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: your work that you don't really have to do that anymore.

69
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I very rarely ever did warm up. If my throat

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: was damaged, I would do a particular little set of

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: exercises that would revive it. But I but I never

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: get exercises. I remember one time I was having trouble

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: with my voice and I was talking to a vocal

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: teacher or a speech teacher, and she gave me these

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: tongue twisting exercise to do. I said, I don't need

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: those things. You know, I always born doing that stuff.

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about some of your the

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: voices you've done in your career, and I want to

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: say it just first honored to be talking to you

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: that I don't think I was kind of I have

81
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: paramount plus now and I've been going back and watching

82
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: all the shows from my childhood, and I was realizing

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: watching these that like it's your voice and all these

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: from rend and Stimpy to Doug, and I kind of

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: realized like how important your voice was in creating those

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: shows and building such an identity with those shows. I

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: kind of want to go back to the beginning first

88
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: of when it kind of became something maybe you just

89
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: did as a kid, like doing these voices to something

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: that you were actually like, hey, I could have a

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: career at this. Um that's happened very late, realizing that

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: you could make a career out of it. I mean

93
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: I could always. I was always the same way as

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: I am now. When I was I was just a freak.

95
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: When I was a little kid, and I used to

96
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: go around, you know, to retting out voices and making noises,

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: and everybody was always like, you know, can you not

98
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: do that? Can you please not do that. I was

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: a neighbor lady up the street. She was a giant,

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: and she called me an which means talking machine. You know.

101
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I was always chatting and talking and blabbing, and I

102
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: couldn't I couldn't be contained, you know, which was very

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: weird because I was basically kind of shy. Um I was.

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, I found out late in life that I

105
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: had always been on the autism spectrum, and I always

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: had O c D and a D h D, except

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: that they didn't have words for that stuff back then.

108
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: So I, um, you know, I was hyper and I

109
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: was an m path and I didn't I never fit in.

110
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: I never felt like I sit in. But I could

111
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: just create worlds of things, you know, just to amuse myself.

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: And I just thought that everybody could do that, so

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was very special. I find a

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of myself and what you're saying right now, I

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: think for somebody like me who has done stand up

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: who does you know? Radio? Now, I feel like I've

117
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of been so in my world of like I

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: see all these things in my head where they make sense,

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: and it's like kind of a craft that I've kind

120
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: of been able to do. But when you're doing something

121
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: where you're performing, I think people people find a kind

122
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: of a You're like quiet, you don't really like being

123
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: around people. Sometimes it's it's kind of a thing, right.

124
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: I was targeted a lot, you know, I was picked on,

125
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: and plus I came from an abusive home life, you know,

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: I mean I got the tar beat out of me

127
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: all the time for nothing. For no reason at home,

128
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: And so you've got to cut through a lot of

129
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: scar tissue later on in life trying to figure out

130
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: what happened to you and I, you know, and I

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 1: was a drunk and a crazy and a druggie for

132
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: good twenty years. You know. I stopped everything, like everything

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: back in and started figuring out what I was gonna do.

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: I played music. I was in bands for years, and

135
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: whenever I was on stage and an amplifier blew up

136
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: or I broke a string or something, I would just

137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: start screwing around and the air would become electric. You know.

138
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand what was happening. Like the crowd was

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: just stopped dead and they just looking and I thought,

140
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm dying dying up here. But it

141
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: wasn't that they were like they were like almost fatally fascinated.

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: So just talking to you now, I can kind of

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: hear I think the voices that you say you kind

144
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: of pulled more from like your voice of like the

145
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: red Eminem and Fry from Futurama. And how do you

146
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: go about like kind of taking your voice and inviting

147
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of yourself and creating those characters voices.

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: One of them was purely intentional, like on Futurama. When

149
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: I had auditioned for fry Um, I said, you know,

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: going to just do my voice only when I was

152
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: like twenty five years old, because I remember what I

153
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: sounded like. You know, I was whiny and nasally and complaining,

154
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and you know, man, I just spoke a string. Now

155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: what amazing? Do you know that's the way I really sounded.

156
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm channeling myself at twenty five years old. Um. The

157
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Doug voice was just something delicate, and I imagined myself

158
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: being a tweener long before they called it that eleven

159
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: and a half, and I, you know, I hadn't gone

160
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: through puberty, so the voice would be kind of like

161
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: in the in the mid somewhere between you know, young

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: adult and kid. So I made it like this, you know,

163
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: like Port Chap is my DoD and uh, it was

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: something realistic about it. I mean like millions of people

165
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: and lots of people would say to me that, you know,

166
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: they thought it was like some young person or maybe

167
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: a woman or something. Didn't picture but it would be

168
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: some guy, you know. And I also did Roger, and

169
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: that was based on a real antagonist in my life.

170
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: The kid was a bugger. He was like he would

171
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: be doubl me, Like his hair came to a point,

172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and his nose came to a point, and his pointing

173
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: in my shoulder, you know, and uh and he had

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: pointing shooting. I mean this this kid was a son

175
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: of a bit and uh. And so I pictured this

176
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Roger to be like that, like, you know, he couldn't

177
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: pass up the opportunity to rankle Doug Funny. You know.

178
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, for no reason, no reason

179
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: at all. So when you're so when you're creating these voices,

180
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: you have these characters in your head, Like do you

181
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: have to see them first to match the voice? Um? Yeah, Well,

182
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: they show you what the character looks like and then

183
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: they give you an idea of what it is that

184
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: they're looking for, and you have to you have to

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: go off that. You know, you've got to try to

186
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: give them exactly what they're looking for. I think one

187
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: of my other two favorite voices are one that you

188
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: kind of use the three stooges to kind of channel

189
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, very from three students. What was it about?

190
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: The Three Students because for me, I think growing up,

191
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: that was like the only show that I could watch

192
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: with my dad and we would both laugh at because

193
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: it was so kind of simple and yeah, well, but

194
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: the thing is is it's a guy thing. Oh is

195
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: that what it is? Yeah? It is. It's truly it's

196
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: a guy thing. And old maybe recently where I'm watching

197
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: women on YouTube, young women watching The Stooges and dying laughing,

198
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: and that was not that was not like that years ago.

199
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Women could couldn't stand them. You know. My mother used

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to come in and go, how can you watch those

201
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: awful men? Yeah? But mom, that's funny, you know. But I, um,

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: I think I stopped going to church when I discovered

203
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: The Three Stooges because I found my saints, you know

204
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like every morning before school they

205
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: showed him. So I went to school with a head

206
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: full of that. And I hated school. I just hated it.

207
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: And um, and I was learning how to act. I

208
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: was learning how to do comedy just from watching The

209
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: Three Stooges. And that's what I wound up to do

210
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: in life. I should have never even bothered walking to school.

211
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Just stay home and watch the Three Stooges that would

212
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: have got you so much for well, you know what

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: it is. Back in those days, you know, there was

214
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: no such thing as show business. I mean, yes, everyone

215
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: knew it existed, but the bridge from like Detroit, Michigan

216
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: to Hollywood doesn't exist. And and no one back in

217
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: those days would encourage you. Hey, you know what, that's

218
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: pretty cool. You know you want to keep practicing that?

219
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: Will you know, make a table view or something of

220
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: will film you You know they didn't think like that

221
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: back then. They was I was just a pain in

222
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: the ass. So I want to talk about Space Jam now,

223
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: which is going to be available now on four K,

224
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: Ultra HD and digital for the first time. Now we've

225
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: kind of getting into the voices. You created the original voices,

226
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: but now you're going and doing a legendary character Bugs Bunny, Like,

227
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: how do you approach that of like keeping the same

228
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of iconic voice that everybody knows with Bugs Bunny,

229
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: but also kind of giving it your own spin. Um,

230
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I just gave it everything I had. I knew that

231
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: I have been right and had you hired me to

232
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: do it and I and I just didn't want to

233
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: let them down. I mean I wanted to, like, you know,

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: go in like Gangbusters, and pretty much what I did. Um,

235
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the thing about imitating work that's already been done is

236
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: the template was set. You gotta stick pretty much by

237
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: what was done, and you have to try to be

238
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: as faithful as you can be. There's other people that

239
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: do the characters, and there's people who prefer like one

240
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: person's version of Bugs over another's, and vice versa, you know,

241
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: and same with the other characters. But I mean I

242
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: did it for like ten years or so, and I

243
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: was I was grateful. I was honored, you know. I

244
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: mean that's what Mel blank was my idol. But the

245
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: thing is is, um, you know, people are like, hey,

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: you're the next Mel blank. Well, I don't want to

247
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: be the next Mel blank. You know, I want to

248
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: be the next me. You can't be the next Mel

249
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: blank by doing Mel blank voices. You know, you could

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: be the guy they hire. But but in actuality, UM,

251
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: it's much better to be an originator. And that's what

252
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: he prided himself on. He he claims that he never

253
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: did impressions, but he did a few impressions in those cartoons.

254
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: So when you're doing like Bugs, Bunny having an argument

255
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,359
Speaker 1: with Elmer in your brain. Is there like a gearshift

256
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: that you can go between the two voices or is

257
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: it just the thing you kind of automatically have been

258
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: able to do to go from one character to the other. Well,

259
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: there's like phrases that key you in um and you're

260
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: talking about two different actors. You're not talking about the

261
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: same actor doing both those voices. So you have to

262
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: imagine the person doing it and try to get into

263
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: their countenance and you know how much they weigh and

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: how energetic are they? And I do I do, like really,

265
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: but this happens in a split second with me, it's

266
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: not like I deliberate, but almost fund was very quiet,

267
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, and uh and almost childlike. And then when

268
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: when he got mad, he'd go from zero to eighty

269
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: five in a split second into you know, mania, He's

270
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: like these really quiet I'm hunting webbits. Uh. It's like

271
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: and then oh I webb it say it for is come?

272
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: So in your mind that's not it's not voices to you,

273
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: it's literally getting into the mindset of two different characters,

274
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: like just like an actor would yes, and and and

275
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with mel blank and what he did and uh,

276
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: and that was just um the original voice was like,

277
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: what's your doc? You know, but they sped it up

278
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: ever so slightly. Bugs was spread up and there's a

279
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: final boyd goodbye that I find that fascinating. That is

280
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: amazing that you can do that just just by kind

281
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: of feeling that in your head. Oh well, there's guys

282
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: that can do it, though, I mean there's not a

283
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: whole lot of them. There's probably about two, two or three.

284
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: But but that's you know, again, that's like imitating something

285
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: that's been done. The hard stuff is to try to

286
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: create something classic that hasn't been done until you did it,

287
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: which I think you've done with all the characters here,

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: I think you've completely done. That kind of made I

289
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: kind of associate you with one of the greatest voice

290
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: actors of our lifetime. So with all the voices you've created,

291
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: is it possible to like copyright like one of your

292
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: characters like that? Nobody can really take that and kind

293
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: of maybe spin off a character or imitate you in

294
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: a way. Can you like copyright a voice? Um? No,

295
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't really and um, like you can't

296
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: copy right a joke, you know, I don't know exactly

297
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: why that is. I mean, but I don't think that

298
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: they It's not on anybody's radar, you know, like who

299
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: who stole a voice from somebody else? I mean, it's

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: almost like in the in the world view, which seems

301
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: pretty picky you and if he has me, well, I

302
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: appreciate the time, Billy, like this has been amazing to

303
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: get to talk to you and hear kind of the

304
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: process behind these voices and kind of just being able

305
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: to pick your brain. So I really enjoyed this. Oh

306
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: me too, Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Have

307
00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: a good day you too. Man got to get into

308
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: our first movie review now talking about Black Widow, and

309
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I am joined by my wife, Kelsey. How are you today?

310
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm tired. Excited to talk about this movie though, yes,

311
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm hyped up. This is the most excited I've been

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: for a movie review in a while. It was really good.

313
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anymore till we get into

314
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the review. So if you haven't seen the trailer by now,

315
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why you haven't. It's everywhere. But here's

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: just a little bit just in case you don't know

317
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: everything about me. I've lived a lot of lives. Friend

318
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: was an aven Or before I got this family. I mean,

319
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: mistakes choosing between what the world wants you to be.

320
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: So Black Widow, We've waited over a year and a

321
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: half for this one. By the end of this review,

322
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: which will be spoiler for you will say whether or

323
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: not it was worth the wait, and whether or not

324
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: it's worth a thirty bucks to watch at home, which

325
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: they're submit you say things. Will talk about movie masks later.

326
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: But going into this one, I wasn't super excited for it.

327
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I was you were why I love Black Widow? When

328
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: did you start liking Black Widow? Because I feel like

329
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: she came We first introduced her in Iron Man two

330
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: back in and then since then she was kind of

331
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: just like a side character. They didn't give a whole

332
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: lot too. And I feel like at first when this

333
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: movie got announced, I thought it was a little too late, like, okay,

334
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: Avengers are over, they need to kind of revamp all

335
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: the Black Widow story. So I was like, Okay, we'll

336
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: see what it is. When did you get excited for

337
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: it somewhere along the adventures? Okay, I don't really remember.

338
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say there was one point in

339
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: the movie where I asked you a question. You need

340
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, that happened, and I was like, oh, okay,

341
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: So I completely remember all of the things that happened,

342
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: and all of them. I'm not like a I love

343
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: them and I can't wait to see them, but I'm

344
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: not like a Marvel mega fan tour. I know everything

345
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: about the universe. See, I'm also like, I love Marvel too,

346
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: but some people get real into like the timelines of

347
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: everything to order to watch them in what's happening, and like,

348
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't get that hardcore into it. I don't have

349
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: the time to be that hard It's a lot like

350
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: to follow it along. There's so many movies, so many characters.

351
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: I can't sit down and break down every relationship, but

352
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: I can follow along to every movie in which and

353
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: where each one occurs. But for this one, if you don't,

354
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: we're trying to place in the Marble timeline when this

355
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: one happens. It happens right after Captain America Civil War

356
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: and then before Avengers Infinity War, so it's kind of

357
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: right there in the middle, which is kind of weird

358
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: that it's not a full on prequel it's not a

359
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: full on origin story, and it kind of takes place

360
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of all those other movies. So if

361
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: you haven't seen all the Avengers movies or even Captain

362
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: in America basically versus Iron Man, you kind of have

363
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to see those to understand this one. Other than that,

364
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: I think you can get into it without watching every

365
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: single Marble movie. But from the first fifteen minutes of

366
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: this movie, I kind of felt like it was a

367
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: grittier movie. It didn't really feel like a typical Marvel movie.

368
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: There was more action, the backstory is pretty dark on

369
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: like what happened and to her and her sister in

370
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: this movie, like why they became spies, why one became

371
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: an assassin, Like that was pretty hardcore, right, it was sad.

372
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: There's like one scene in particular at the very beginning

373
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: where you're kind of like, man, like is this even

374
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Like it didn't even feel like I guess the Marvel

375
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: movies are never really geared towards kids, but I can

376
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: imagine like a kid watching that movie at that point, like, man,

377
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: this is kind of dark. Yeah, I would say it's

378
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: It's a pretty strong PG thirteen for like that element.

379
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: And then once it got into the story. I was

380
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: pretty invested into it. I thought the action was really

381
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: great and I like how they, for the first time ever,

382
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: really fleshed out who Black Widow is, who her family is,

383
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: like where she came from, and overall like what kind

384
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: of makes her awesome? Like I felt like, like this

385
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: is the movie she deserved like five years ago, but

386
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad it came now. The sad part for me

387
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: is that it feels like that kind of ending of

388
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: that whole phase of Marvel because after her, there's I mean,

389
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: there there's Doctor Strange, but other than the original Avengers,

390
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: this is kind of it. So I think that part

391
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: was kind of sad for me to watch. Are there

392
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: more aunt Man's? Yeah, there's another aunt Man coming, But

393
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that's also kind of on like the

394
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: the second tier of the original Avengers, She's like the

395
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: last one. Is there another Guardians of the Galaxy? Yeah,

396
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I still feel like that's kind of the side. I'm

397
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: just asking my questions. This into like me trying to

398
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: figure out how many movies there are. But overall, how

399
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: did you feel about this movie? I thought it was great,

400
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: loved it. I got so into it that I didn't

401
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: even need all my snacks. I really like the Florence Pew.

402
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: She was fantastic, like really good, so good. I think. Also,

403
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: what was different about this Marvel movie. I think it

404
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: had the least comedy out of every single Marvel movie.

405
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: There was pretty much only like one joke that they

406
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: kind of kept throughout the entire movie. Other than that,

407
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: I kind of felt like it was more of like

408
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: a Jason Bourne type movie of like, here's this mission

409
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to go and do. If you're hearing that

410
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: in the background, that is our dryer or I don't

411
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: think the microphone I can hear it. Oh you can, yeah, yeah, okay,

412
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's our washer. I'm doing laundry. But other

413
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: than that, I don't think there was a whole lot

414
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: of comedy comedy in it. It felt kind of more

415
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: just like a Spice slash assassin action movie with some

416
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: superhero flares. What I felt, Yeah, it was more in

417
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: the serious like not it wasn't like thora Ragnarok comedy, Yeah,

418
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: not at all. That was the funny one, right, that

419
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: was the funny woman. So I thought it was good,

420
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: on the borderline of really good not great. I thought

421
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: it was great. Not the best Marvel movie yet. I

422
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: don't think it's in the top ten, but I do

423
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: think now it's like probably one of my top three

424
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johnson movies. I would drank it amongst some of

425
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: my favorite really. Yeah, it was great, like Female Power. Yeah,

426
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that's what Marvel has been lacking. I think

427
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: they kind of interest a lot of test offs. It

428
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: is a lot of tests, it's a lot of dude

429
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: and really was just Black Widow. So I think they

430
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: kind of took a page out of DC success with

431
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: like Wonder Woman Harley Quinn, like success there, that's the

432
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: best movies they have over there, I know, But I'm

433
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: just saying success is a loose term, Okay, But the

434
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: only thing that d C has over them is those characters.

435
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, we need one of those they

436
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: had Captain Marvel. True, I still think Black Widows this

437
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: is a way better movie than I agree. But I'm

438
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: just saying they introduced Captain Marvel's movie. Yeah, I was

439
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: able to come out, so we had to give it

440
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: a rating. What would you rate Black Widow four and

441
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: a half out of five. I'm trying to think of

442
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a and nothing just four and a half out of five,

443
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: four and a half out of five. I would give

444
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: it four out of five. Russian Spies, super original scale,

445
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: is it incredibly or Black Widows Spiders? I was going

446
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: to do four and half out of five spiders, but

447
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna be that cheesy. Would have one. Okay,

448
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: four and half out of five spiders. So I think

449
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: it was worth the weight I was. I think it

450
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: was worth the way to see it in theaters because

451
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: we we we kind of had that decision of like

452
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: should we watch it at home pay the thirty bucks

453
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: or should we go to the theaters to watch it?

454
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: And we went with going to see it in theaters.

455
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: One for us, it's pretty much the same price. It's

456
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: like the tickets ended up coming out under thirty bucks

457
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: for both of us. So it's really more dependent for us,

458
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: like what experience do we want? And I kind of

459
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: like that that's happening now. The only thing I'm sad

460
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: about is that we didn't go to a theater with

461
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: like the leather recliners. Yeah, the seats are kind of crestrooms,

462
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: like a little subpar in the seats, so I couldn't

463
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: get us comfy but still I enjoyed that experience for

464
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: this movie because I was totally into watching it. I

465
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: wasn't distracted, was never on my phone. So I think

466
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: this movie deserved that kind of treatment. But on the

467
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: other hand, I feel like, if you don't want that experience,

468
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: you just want to see the movie, it's worth the

469
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: thirty bucks. Absolutely, like this is up there with one

470
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: of the best movies to come out in a long time.

471
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: So for one person, maybe not worth thirty bucks. But

472
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: if you're watching it with your entire family or you

473
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: just don't want to go to the movie theater, I

474
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: think it's completely worth it. It does still feel a

475
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: little weird to me to pay that on top of

476
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: the subscription fee, but I think that's just kind of

477
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: the world we live in now. I would also like

478
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: to note that we just had to pause recording so

479
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: you can burp incredibly loudly and then just came back

480
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: to the microphone. I'm throwing you under the bus there, Okay,

481
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: you're got me leave the bourbon. No. I do not

482
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: want you to leave that, Okay. I just want everyone

483
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: to know we had to take a quick pause there.

484
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Most of the edits we make on this podcast is

485
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: me burping yeah or mispronouncing some weird word. Not even

486
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: weird words nor words would credit there. So anyway, that's

487
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: what we think about Black Widow. Let's get into now

488
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: a double movie review and talk about The Tomorrow War

489
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: with Chris Pratt, a movie with one of the greatest

490
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: premises I've heard in a while. But did it follow through?

491
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the trailer or watch this movie yet,

492
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of that. Thirty years in

493
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: the future, we are fighting a war. Our enemy is

494
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: not human, and we are losing. We need you to fight.

495
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: We'll be back. I love you. Check me seven days

496
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: from now when you're sitting into that role and won't

497
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: be fighting for your country, We'll be fighting for the world.

498
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: So that Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt, Now, how do

499
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: you feel about him as like a leading actor in

500
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: an action movie. He's fine, ambivalent. Yeah, I feel like

501
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: he's right in the middle of the line of being like,

502
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: all right, anything Chris Pratt is in, I'm gonna watch it.

503
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm at the point like anything Chris

504
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Pratt is in, I'm curious to see what it's about.

505
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: I really liked my Guardians of the Galaxy. Yes, great

506
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: in that kind of feel like that was his peak.

507
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: What about the Jurassic World movies not so much. I

508
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: actually don't think i've seen him. I like those movies

509
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: and I like him in it, but I don't think

510
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: like I could see like somebody else in that role

511
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: was where I see like, I don't see I don't

512
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: associate him with those immediately, but I think he does

513
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: pretty good in those. I don't not like him, but

514
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm not like, oh my gosh, Chris Pratt. Yeah, I

515
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: feel that's way. So I think with this movie going

516
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: into it, I was like, all right, the premise sounds

517
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: really good. Let's see if Chris Pratt kind of takes

518
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: that next level of being like a big action star.

519
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: So the overall premise of this movie, again we'll keep

520
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: it spoiler free, but it's basically people in the future

521
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: come back to present time to warn us about a

522
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: war that's going on between humans and aliens, and they're

523
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: basically going to destroy the world. So they have to

524
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: come to our time to take people back to fix

525
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: the problem. Is basically what that movie is about, right

526
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: without ruining anything. So I think that's a great premise,

527
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: mainly because I love aliens, I love time travel, so

528
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: you put all those things into one movie. I was like,

529
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: how could it not be bad. We watched it, and

530
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: I think within the first five minutes I laughed because

531
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: it seemed kind of cheesy. I mean, yeah, it's it's

532
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: cheesy it but kind of had like a little bit

533
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: of like sci fi movie vibes, but a much bigger budget. Yes,

534
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: a bigger budget, and which side note, I love a

535
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: sci fi movie, so do I. And within that first

536
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: kind of opening scene, I felt like it's said a

537
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: darker tone that it never really got back to. Like

538
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: I felt like these aliens were gonna be super like,

539
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: highly intelligent. We were gonna have to do something a

540
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: lot more like having to out with them, I guess

541
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: is what I was expecting. But then it kind of

542
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: just turned into like a full on monster movie. They

543
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: had They were basically like big intelligent bugs like Spider's

544
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: almost like spiders. They didn't really feel like aliens to me,

545
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: and you kind of got scared a little bit, right

546
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: because you don't like anything jumping out, you don't like

547
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: anything by us. Well, it's it adds to the point

548
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to make here you did right, And

549
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: I was like, what did I say? I was like,

550
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to show the aliens within the

551
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes of the movie, because that's usually what

552
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: you do in a good monster movie. You don't reveal

553
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: them right away. You let the kind of anticipation build,

554
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: You let that kind of overall, like, Okay, when when

555
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: we're going to see him, when's that action gonna happen?

556
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: But that kind of happened pretty early on, and I

557
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: was like, well, they kind of just ruined a lot

558
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: of like what are the aliens gonna look like? So

559
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: they ended up just fighting monsters the entire time, and

560
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: that's not really what I was looking for with this premise,

561
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Like it seemed like they were going to be aliens,

562
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: maybe a spaceship or something, and it was basically, I

563
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: don't think we need a ship. We needed a spaceship.

564
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: They had a spaceship. There was no alien spaceship. It

565
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: was basically just like an investation. One of the aliens

566
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: have a spaceship. Yes, that would have been cool. Okay.

567
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: So that's how I was a little bit taken back

568
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: by the overall premise of it, and how they kind

569
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: of executed that. So I thought the Aliens were going

570
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more unbeatable, and I felt

571
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: like they didn't pose that big of a threat in

572
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: that kind of front without ruining it. I beg to differ,

573
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: but okay, everyone watch Yeah. But the other thing I

574
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: did like about this movie is that it felt like

575
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: that big summer blockbuster. It had that feeling, and we

576
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: watched it at home on Amazon, which we already have.

577
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: We don't have to pay any extra. We just clicked it,

578
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: were watched it, and I felt like I was at

579
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: the movies, but we also just had that option to

580
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: watch it at home. So it had that big kind

581
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: of blockbuster popcorn movie feel, which was a nice thing

582
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: to have. But what's a popcorn movie a movie you

583
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: don't have to think a whole lot about and you

584
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: just eat popcorn while you watch it? Interesting? Yeah, did

585
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: you coin that term? No? Okay, It's a movie you

586
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: can kind of just turn your brain off. Usually, like

587
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: big summer blockbusters, there's not a whole, big, overall plot

588
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: you have to follow. You can just kind of watch

589
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: it with ease. I love a good popcorn movie. Black

590
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Widow was not that Black Widow was not that you

591
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: had to get those confused. You had to pay attention

592
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: to that when you had to follow not only the

593
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: plot line and that, but you had to know things

594
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: about other movies. With this movie, you could just kind

595
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: of watch it and enjoy it. And I think overall,

596
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: that's the other aspect of this one that I like.

597
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: It was just overall entertaining. While it wasn't the best

598
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: execution of the plot was a little bit cheesy, the

599
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: acting was in I didn't think Pratt was his best

600
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: in this. It was entertaining. We watched the whole movie

601
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and it I don't think at any point we're like,

602
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: let's turn this off and not finish it. And even

603
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: though it's over two hours, I thought the entire time

604
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, ready to see what's gonna happen.

605
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm following along. Even though it was not, you know,

606
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: at the tier I was expecting, it was entertaining. That's

607
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: that's how I felt about it. So if you had

608
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: to rate it, what would you give it? Three out

609
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: of five bugs? Yeah, I was gonna give it three

610
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: out of five two. I think it's like it's right

611
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: in the line of like you don't need to watch

612
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: it right now, but if you're looking for something new

613
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: to watch, it's worth your time. It's not a waste

614
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: of time. But if you're if you want something new,

615
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: watch it, but like, don't clear your calendar to watch it. Yeah,

616
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: it's And I also don't want to overhype it in

617
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: any way of like, no, it's really like it's not.

618
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a good movie, of like, all right,

619
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: I just need something new to watch. I'm not going

620
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: to get my expectations up super high, but it's a

621
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: would watch. So the Tomorrow War, I'm more excited to

622
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: see kind of a different side of Chris Pratt. I

623
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: don't really like the leading action star him. I like

624
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: them more for the comedic stuff, the Guardians of the

625
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: Galaxy a little bit. I mean, I'll watch another Lost

626
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: World movie, but I don't think that's really what I

627
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: wanted for. I want him for like I'm gonna datem

628
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: or something. He's an actor. Do you have a crush

629
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: on Chris Pratt? No, not really. I would admit that

630
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't or do, like that's why I'm so critical

631
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: of him. All Right, Well that' took a weird Let's

632
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: get into some movie news now. So the biggest thing

633
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: over the weekend really is how much money Black Widow made,

634
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: which it's the largest opening of a movie since Star Wars.

635
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: That's a very long time. And the most interesting thing

636
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: I found about this not was that it made eighty

637
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: million dollars in the United States, but that they made

638
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars on Disney Plus alone, so that whole

639
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: premier access thing they have you pay the watch it,

640
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: it made sixty million dollars, and they've never kind of

641
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: revealed how much they make through that, which I've always

642
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: been curious about because I wonder, like, you know, how

643
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: many people are actually paying to watch it at home?

644
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: Did we do the math on that? What is sixty

645
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: million divided live math? Sixty divided by thirty two? Oh,

646
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: just two million people watched it down? Yeah? Is that right? Yeah?

647
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Two million times thirty Okay, I could have done that

648
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot faster. I would like to admit I've only

649
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: had half a cup of coffee today. It's a two

650
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: million household watch it at home. Yeah, it's a pretty

651
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: good number. And sixty million adding into the eighty that's

652
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: a big block. Bluses a little bit. Is their tax

653
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: i can't round too. But anyway, I think that's kind

654
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: of how the new box office numbers are gonna go.

655
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: Like it's the in theaters number, the at home numbers,

656
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: and then the global numbers, and you put them all

657
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: together and that's the new number. And I like the

658
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: fact that you have the option now, especially coming up

659
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: with this week of Space Jam two coming out. That's

660
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: a movie you kind of decide do you want the

661
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: theater experience and you just want to watch it at home.

662
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: I think that one, we're just gonna watch it at home,

663
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: couch watch that one. Yeah, that's not one I want

664
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: to spend the money to go see it in theaters.

665
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything more you get out of

666
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: that experience for that one. So you have the option

667
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: to watch it at home. So I think we're finally

668
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: in the seat of being able to decide our experience,

669
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: which has been the biggest debate of like, oh, well,

670
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: movie theaters to go out of business, movies aren't gonna

671
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: be able to make their money back. I think this

672
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: is what we have now. We have the option of

673
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: picking where we want to go the experience we want.

674
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: The bigger movies will still make money. Disney ain't hurden,

675
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: And I don't think it will take away from people

676
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: seeing movies and theaters because we like that experience, like

677
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: I've missed a night and I'm like dinner and then

678
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: like a movie like a date night, Like I love

679
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: going to the movie theater. So I don't think that

680
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: takes away. I do think that like some movie theaters

681
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: will have to start kind of moving to that format

682
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: of being like like an alimal drafthouse. I talk about

683
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: it all the time. Promise is a sponsored I just

684
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: love them, but of offering like food and drink and

685
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: kind of like a not an immersive experience, but being

686
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: able to make it something more of just than seeing

687
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: a movie. You have to offer a little more. I'd say.

688
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: The only thing that was kind of sad to me

689
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: is seeing that they don't have people at the front anymore.

690
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Like that was a little sad to me because I

691
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: like that kind of experience of like going up and

692
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: getting your ticket printed out and now like just the kiosk,

693
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: can we make the concession STANDI kiosk? Oh? Yeah? People

694
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: in fred of a spot a four course meal at

695
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: the movie theater And I'm not even kidding they had nachos, popcorn,

696
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: and Nathan's hot dog and also candy and candy. They

697
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: had the full full meal. And this is no way judgment.

698
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm not there's no judgment there. I just held up

699
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: the line a little bit and they probably bought like

700
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: they're probably told her that like a grocery amount, like

701
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: a grocery mill little for a hot dog alone is

702
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: like eight bucks as buying a hot dog in the movie.

703
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: There might there might be a little judgment. There might

704
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: be something up there, but yes, I think movie theaters

705
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: will have to now adapt and make it more of

706
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: an immersive experience and also just make it more fun.

707
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: Also bring back diet coke at Regal. Oh yeah, that's

708
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: your big beef with them right now. Yeah, Because it's

709
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: like nobody wants a pepsi. They don't want a pepsi.

710
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: I can sneak some candy in, I can't sneak like

711
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: a drink with ice in. I can sneak a bottle

712
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: of something in, but then I didn't want the ice. Yeah,

713
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: and I can't just ask for a cup of ice.

714
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: That's really obvious when you have to go to a

715
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: m C. That's where they carry coke. Okay, when are

716
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: you taking me to AMC? I don't know. We'll see.

717
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: All right, Well that will do it for this week.

718
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: Before I hop out of here. I gotta do what

719
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: I do every single week. My shout out to one

720
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: of you guys listening, whether you send in a d

721
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: M on Instagram, a tweet at Mike Distro, or a

722
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: message or comment on my Facebook page which is Facebook

723
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: dot com slash Mike Destro actually going over to the

724
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: old Facebook page today. This comment is from Sherry Morris,

725
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: she said. On the episode with Amy, she said, good podcast,

726
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 1: enjoyed hearing about Amy Brown's favorite movies. If you missed

727
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: that episode, you can go back one and listen to Amy,

728
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: who I work with on the Bobby Bones Show. We

729
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: talked a lot about her favorite movies as a kid,

730
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: the first movie she went to on a date, and

731
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: then she revealed like this crazy story about her next

732
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: boyfriend that she never told before and the weird kind

733
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: of connection that he had with Old Yeller. He basically

734
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: had to live out the movie Old Yeller, which had

735
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: a kind of a depressing ending. So then we kind

736
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: of switched it up a bit. But if you want

737
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: to hear that story it's on the last episode. Sounds sad, right,

738
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: sounds really sad. And I also realized that I think

739
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: that movie is one of the reasons I never had

740
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: a dog as a kid. Not this conversation. Save the

741
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: pot cast listeners. Okay, well, you can go back and

742
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: listen to that episode and hear my whole kind of

743
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: trauma with that. But I appreciate everybody for listening to

744
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: all of you who are subscribed and listen every single week.

745
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: That means a lot to me. I hope you come

746
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: back next week and listen to that episode and until

747
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: then later
