How did you feel after you did 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: the first one? The first one was fine because I 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: just told myself that no one other than my mom 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: was listening, which I know isn't true. Um, this one's 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: a little more nerve wracking. Alright, Well, we're gonna do 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: our top three romantic comedies. And if you're new to 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the podcast and new overall listening to this, UM, just 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: a quick background. We have been dating for two years now. 51 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: We did long distance, and right now we're not really 52 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: long distance because we've been quarantining together for the last 53 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: seven weeks. How would you rate our quarantine so far? 54 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Am I reading it on a number scale? Letter grade? 55 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: Letter grade? I would say a solid A minus. I'll 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: tell yeah, I would put us out of a minus. 57 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: We watched a lot of movies together. We've watched a 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: lot of movies. I think that's kind of been the 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: way we've I don't know, not processed everything, but it's 60 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: a good way to kind of break away from everything 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: and watch movies. And you actually made me watch a 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: movie that I hadn't seen for the very first time, 63 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: and we're actually gonna talk about it on the podcast 64 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: right now that we are, all right, So let's get 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: right into it. I'll let you kick it off. Go 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: with your number three romantic comedy, that would be thirteen 67 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: going on thirty, which is a good one. Love that movie. 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: Why do you like it? It's just such a classic. 69 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: I love Jennifer Garner in it. Um. I think it 70 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: just spans like all of the time periods, her as 71 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: a teenager, her as an adult, um, and just kind 72 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: of the love story that follows along, and just it's 73 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: a classic. And Mark Ruffalo. I like Mark Rufflo a 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: lot in that movie. Um, it's kind of weird seeing 75 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: him go from doing those kind of movies to being 76 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: all into the Avengers and then now kind of like 77 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: going back into doing dramatic stuff. Where do you think 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: he fits in better? It is strange because I do 79 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: love Avengers, so I see him as Hulk. Um. But 80 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: I would say thirteen thirties probably the one that I 81 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: associate the most of him, just because I've seen it 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: so many times. It is a classic chick flick. I 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: like it too, though I don't. I guess it is 84 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: kind of chick flicky, but I don't know. I like that. 85 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: I like when anything goes back to like the nostalgia 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: factor of it of her, like looking back on her 87 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: childhood and then bringing that back into her adult life. 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it is pretty chick flicky. We've 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: watched that one together. Yeah, I like I still like it. 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: It has a six round Tomato score. Are you surprised 91 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: it's a little lower where you think that's right? Around? 92 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: Don't feel like rom Comes score very hot, That's true. 93 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Tomatoes critics don't love her rom com rom Comes and 94 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: horror movies are usually the hardest like to get critiqued. 95 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why, which I don't think you go 96 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: into a rom com expecting to see anything groundbreaking or 97 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: any kind of like, Okay, this is going to change 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: my life. It's just the movies sometimes you want to 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: watch to make you feel good and kind of kick 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: back and relax too. I guess that's a good way 101 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to describe it, feel good. I've never walked into like 102 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: a Nicholas Sparks movie thinking that it's going to change 103 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: your life. Number three I put Knocked Up. Have you 104 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: seen knocked I have, but it's been a long time. Yeah. 105 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: I came out in two thousand and seven. Surprisingly has 106 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: a rotten Tomato score, which I think this gets a 107 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: higher rating, probably because it's a Jet Apatow movie. Um 108 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: but I remember watching this for the first time in 109 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: thinking this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. 110 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: And it's a mix of being kind of raunchy and 111 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: really going after some of that crudeness in the comedy 112 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: a side of it. But it also has a pretty 113 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: good underlying romantic story, which is you don't expect of 114 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: um Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigel ending up having a 115 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: baby together. But I remember that being a pretty big 116 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: movie at the time of like everybody kind of wanted 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: to have a hit like Knocked Up Again. I would 118 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: say that's fair, and I think that was probably one 119 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: of Katherine Heigl's better rom coms. She does a lot 120 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of thing, like twenty seven a dressing that's 121 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: kind of her thing, and she was like so big 122 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: probably in like the late two thousands of doing all 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: these movies and kind of has gone away. I can't 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 1: remember the last thing I saw her in. And she's 125 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: reportedly not the easiest to work with. People say that. 126 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how true that is, 127 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: or people just don't I don't know like her, but 128 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like all of her movies. See, 129 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: I just associated her with Gray's Anatomy in my head. 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: Oh she wasn't that huge. She was one of the stars. 131 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: I forgot about that. All right, we'll move on to 132 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: our number two movies. What do you got? I have 133 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: one that we just recently watched, Crazy Stupid Love. Okay, 134 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: I admit, yeah. I thought this is gonna be a 135 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: whole different I thought it was gonna be like a 136 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: straight up, sappy, romantic movie, and I wasn't gonna be 137 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: into it at all. The only thing I really knew 138 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: about it was Ryan Gosling and Steve Carrell. You dragged 139 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: your feet about watching it. I didn't want to watch it. 140 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: I was like, I've heard of this movie and it's 141 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: probably not for me. But I watched it and was 142 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: pretty sucked in pretty right away. It's really good, and 143 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: there's a spoiler free podcast. I won't spoil anything, but 144 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: there is one twist that you don't see coming. I'm 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: so proud of myself that the whole movie I didn't 146 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: say there was a surprise coming, because I am notoriously 147 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: bad at keeping surprises. I'm the type of person that 148 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: like buys you a present and then it's like, I 149 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: bought you this present and your birthday is not for 150 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: another month, so to not spoil that there was a 151 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: surprise coming. Really proud of myself. That was really great. 152 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: I think one of the I can usually see a 153 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: twist coming, and I had no idea that was coming, 154 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: but I guess because it is a romantic comedy, you 155 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: don't expect a twist like that, and when it does, hey, 156 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: you're like, holy crap, this is just change the entire movie. 157 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: But I felt like the whole movie wrapped up pretty well, 158 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: and it didn't feel like like just a straight up 159 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: savvy romantic comedy, like there was a lot of good 160 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: backstory to it. I really like the characters in it, 161 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I just hand it really well done. 162 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: It's one of those two that there's several stories going 163 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: on at once and they tie them in together well. 164 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel disjointed, like there's several different plotlines I 165 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: feel like, and it kind of gets wrapped up. There's 166 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: like three separate Paul plot lines, and in that moment 167 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: where the twist does happen, they all hit it one, 168 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And that surprisingly has a score 169 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: which is pretty high that I feel like Ryan Gosling. 170 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: Oh in this movie, he's pretty like do you feel 171 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: like that's how you see Ryan Gosling? Like in rom comms, 172 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: he kind of has a pretty good range of doing 173 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: like really serious dramatic stuff and then doing kind of 174 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: the more rom com stuff like The Notebook. I haven't 175 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: seen him really in anything lately besides Crazy Stupid Love. 176 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: I haven't watched a ton of his dramas, so I 177 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: just kind of see him as the rom com guy. 178 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: All right, I'll go to my number two. I went 179 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: with Never Been Kissed? Have you ever seen Never Been Kissed? 180 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: And I think what I like about this movie? First 181 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: of all, it's so like n like on the edge 182 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: of when like two thousands are about a hit and 183 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: that movie just feels like the nineties still, And uh, 184 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I liked you. I don't like a 185 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: whole lot of Drew Berry Moore movies, Like, aside from 186 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: her as a kid being in ET, there's not a 187 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: whole lot of Drew Berry Moore movies aside from The 188 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: Wedding Singer that I like her in, which we're naming 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: a lot of rom coming. I was gonna say Fifty 190 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: Dates was also a contender on my list. I didn't 191 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: really like fifty First Dates sad like I like the 192 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: earlier Adam Sandler stuff, of course, and then later I 193 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: feel like he gets so into like just really wacky concept. 194 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I feel like that was like the very edge of it, 195 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: fifty First Dates. It was kind of the next era 196 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: of Adam Sandler. After that he gets into his like 197 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: don't mess with his old hand and all those ways, 198 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: Jack and Jill and surprisingly my mom's like, probably favorite 199 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: Adam Saidler movie. Um, but yeah, I like this one 200 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: a lot. I don't know why, Like I don't know 201 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: the cast. There's so many people in this movie, Like 202 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: Jessica albums in this movie. David Arquette is in this movie. 203 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: There's a whole lot of people who were like at 204 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: the time, We're like a really big deal. And he 205 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: you look at this movie kind of from a like 206 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: an outer scope, it's like, oh, this existed in this 207 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: nice little period of time, and it's one that I watched. 208 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: Anytime it will come on TV and I can kind 209 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: of jump back into it. And I think it has 210 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: also one of the greatest romantic scenes at the very end, 211 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: once it finally happens, Like, I don't know, I think 212 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: that makes me feel something even down to this day. 213 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: What you know, I'm just laughing, just laughing at me. 214 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: Do you not like the the end thing? It's been? 215 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Why else since I've seen it? When she runs out 216 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: onto the mound at the baseball game, not really ringing 217 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: a bell? Okay, well you have to go rewatch you know, 218 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: we have to rewatch this one. All right? What do 219 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: you have with your number one? I have? She's the 220 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: Man Amanda Bend and Channing Tatum. Why why is this 221 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: one of your favorite or your favorite? It's just so 222 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: funny and it's one of those that I can quote 223 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: that was like I think it came out in like 224 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and six, so I was like right before 225 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: I just like started to really love like a good 226 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: rom com and that was one of the first that 227 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: I watched um and I just think it A man 228 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: binds is so funny. And although that's one of the 229 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: last things that she did, and that's reportedly like what 230 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: kind of sent her out of Hollywood. So that's sad 231 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: if you would be in particular. Yeah, she said she 232 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: just had a lot of like trauma from having to 233 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: play both a girl and a boy and to that 234 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: kind of master up. It's been a while since I've seenism. 235 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: What's the overall? Like what happens? She pretends to be 236 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: her brother and dresses up as him and plays soccer 237 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: at his boarding school. Got it? And Chane and Katum 238 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: plays the one of the other soccer players. Got it? 239 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: I remember? Now there you go. I like this. I 240 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: think I only watched this when it would come on TV, 241 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: so I don't think I ever sat down and watched 242 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: it all the way through. But yeah, do you feel 243 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: like that was like your last That was one of 244 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: the last things, the last thing she did and her favorites. 245 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: I have it on DVD. I've watched a lot. That's 246 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: like a solid like Girl's Night movie with my friends. 247 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: My best friend can quote backwards and forward, so it's 248 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: kind of annoying to watch her. All Right, we'll do 249 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: my number one, which I had to go with only 250 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: the year after years two thousand seven? Oh, would you 251 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: know which I don't like? This is just one of 252 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: my favorite movies of all time. And I really like 253 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: this one because it's it feels very Indie and it 254 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: feels very kind of like low, a low budget in 255 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: a way, but kind of just has that indie feel, 256 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: yet it feels it and went way beyond that to 257 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: be a bigger movie. Um. I really like Ellen Page 258 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: in this one, and she's one of my favorite actresses actually, 259 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: and the soundtrack to this movie, all the quotes that 260 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: came from this movie, and this movie I felt defined 261 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: like two thousand and seven and everything was kind of 262 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: going on in that year, and it just feels like 263 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: it encapsulates that year and it also kind of holds 264 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: up over time and actually has a cent rating which 265 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: is pretty high. Like this movie actually did pretty well 266 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: as far as like people critics liking it too. I 267 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: think you have a good point about it kind of 268 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: being one of those that they weren't expecting it to 269 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: be such a big success because it was an indie 270 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: and then it just kind of blew up and they 271 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: were like, oh, we did good with this. And then 272 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: also here you have Jennifer Gardner and Jason Bateman as 273 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: the couple trying to adopt a kid, so she gets 274 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: pregnant as a teenager, and Michael Sarah Michael Sarahs like 275 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: Michael Sarahs like Ultimate two thousand seven I think this 276 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: is his best role. Like, like every role he kind 277 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: of did after this was like always acting like Michael 278 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: Sarah and I don't know. This one kind of has 279 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: a twist in it too, which in the movie feels 280 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: kind of like it doesn't really have a happy ending 281 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: in a way, And I like that it went the 282 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: dramatic route and didn't end how you were expecting it too, 283 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: but it also kind of it almost even left it 284 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: up to like they could make a sequel to this, 285 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Like I would kind of be interested to see something like, oh, 286 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: here's do you know, like ten years down the line 287 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: would be like thirteen now years. I don't know, I 288 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: think that would be interesting. I don't really like what 289 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: they make sequels so far down the line, but this 290 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: is just one of my favorite movies. I would kind 291 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: of be interesting to see. And I haven't seen Michael 292 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: Sarah and anything in a while. He hasn't been much Okay, 293 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: wrapping up thoughts on romantic comedies, any honorable mentions, Like 294 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: I feel like people were gonna be mad that we 295 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: didn't say the Notebook, but I don't think that's a 296 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: romantic comedy. Fourty year old version was probably up there 297 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: on my list, but I felt like Knocked Up was 298 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: in that same kind of space, and I felt Knocked 299 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Up was a better movie. I guess my honorable mentions, 300 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: Like we mentioned fifty First Dates Dress, This is a 301 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: really good one that I forgot about. Scene where she's 302 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: singing Benny and the Jets is great. How to Lose 303 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: a Guy in Ten Days was also one. That's another 304 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: one that's a really good one. The nineties was just 305 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: a really good time for romantic comedies too. I'll watch 306 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: that one anytime it's on TV. Any others we are 307 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: forgetting probably a lot. I feel well like The Wedding 308 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: Singer was close up there too, But as far as 309 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I had of Sandler movies, I just it's not one 310 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: of my favorites. I know people like that one a lot, 311 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: but I think for romantic comedies it's that's just not 312 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: up there for me. But I think that's all the 313 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: honorable mentions. I think that's the only ones that I 314 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: thought about. So um, those are our list of the 315 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: top three romantic comedies. We also recently watched a movie 316 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: called book Smart Together. Do you want to review that 317 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: one next? All right, we'll take a break and do 318 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: that all right. We're now going to get into our 319 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: review of a movie called Book Smart, which came out 320 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: last year, directed by Olivia Wilde, starring Caitlyn Denver and 321 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: Beatie Feldstein. Did I say her name right? And the 322 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: weird thing about this I didn't realize watching it that 323 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: that's Jonah Hill's little sister. Yes, I think I had 324 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: to tell you that. I was like, oh, crap, I 325 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: remember she started acting, and then I guess the fact 326 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: that she doesn't use Hill in her name. I was like, Oh, 327 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: I forgot that was her. But the weird part about 328 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: that is I felt watching this movie it reminded me 329 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: so much of super Bad, and I felt like it 330 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: was almost like a female version of super Bad. I 331 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: was like, holy crap, Jannah Hill's sister did a female 332 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: version of super Bad. We have to go to a 333 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: party tonight. What nobody knows that we are fun? I 334 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: didn't party because we wanted to focus on school and 335 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: get into good colleges. And it worked like irresponsible people 336 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: who partied also got into those colleges. We haven't done anything, 337 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: we haven't broken any rules. Name one person whose life 338 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: was so much better because they broke a couple of rules. 339 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: He broke art rules. Damn it. What do you think 340 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: about this movie? I thought it was really good. It 341 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: was funnier than I expected. Yes, I thought the same thing. 342 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: It was a dry humor too, which I think I 343 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: can appreciate in movies. I don't necessarily love all movies 344 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: that try to be funny, but it was a good, 345 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: like sarcastic humor. I felt it was very much your 346 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: humor in this that like, I like you laughed out 347 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: loud a lot during this movie. I did. And we're 348 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: all so right now in the middle of watching a 349 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: movie called The Wrong Missy, Right, that's what it's called, 350 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: the David Spade Netflix movie, which is I feel like, 351 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: the complete opposite kind of comedy funny, which has its 352 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: kind of moments too in a way because of really 353 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: like I think that's what it's produced by Adam Sandlers 354 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Movie Company, which he goes just for straight up like 355 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: here's cartoony funny of like outrageously ridiculous characters doing really 356 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: weird things. And I feel like that movie is a 357 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: complete opposite of book Smart Right now, it's funny. I 358 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: didn't want to watch it, and I didn't want to 359 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: like it, but it has So there's two different kinds 360 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 1: of comedies here. This movie Book Smart, which has like 361 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: really well written jokes, stuff that like maybe even we 362 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: didn't get the first time around, if you watch it again, 363 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: it would find funny again. And then you have a 364 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: movie like The Wrong Missy, which is just straight up, 365 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: like out there comedy of like okay, you don't even 366 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: have to really pay attention to find this funny, like 367 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: a kid could find that funny. I think Book Smart 368 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,239 Speaker 1: also reminds me of in a way Bridesmaids, which when 369 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: we've done our last podcast, it talked about being my 370 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: favorite movie and that it's just like a good, like 371 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: solid female comedy, like their strong female rules, Like they're 372 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: not playing like stereotypical like Damsel in distress, like just 373 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: very like independent. It's them being funny. So what the 374 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: movie is about, essentially, why I say it's kind of 375 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: like super Bad, is that it's these two girls who 376 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: essentially were in high school and they did everything by 377 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: the book and they didn't really go out in party 378 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: or do anything crazy. Maybe that's why I like it, 379 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: maybe I relate to it. So they do that and 380 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: then it's the last day of school and they're like, Okay, 381 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna go on to be college and we haven't 382 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: really done anything. And they're like, well, we you know, 383 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: we got into the schools we wanted to and that's 384 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: what we worked so hard for. But then they see 385 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: like other kids that they went to school with, who 386 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: also they just thought were partying the whole time. They're like, oh, yeah, 387 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: we all got into really great schools too. So they're like, 388 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: we didn't do anything fun during high school. We were 389 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: kind of just trying to focus on being smart and 390 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: doing all our school work that we didn't experience any 391 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: kind of like parties are getting any kind of trouble. 392 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: So the movie is their last attempt at trying to 393 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: have fun and go to this one party, and the 394 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: whole movie is their journey to that party, which I 395 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 1: feel is like super bad. But you said that kind 396 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: of feels like you just the whole like not having 397 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: fun in high school. Maybe that's why I like it. 398 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: As I related to them, you never went to a 399 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: party in high school, no, never think like you were 400 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: went to one New Year's Eve party and it was 401 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: like a high school party. See. I never went to 402 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: parties either in high school to parties. In college, I don't. 403 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: We don't go to parties now. I was never invited 404 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: to parties in high school. What happened was like I 405 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: had friends, had cousins who were older than me, and 406 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: the older brother who was seven years older than me, 407 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: and I would hang out with them, so I would 408 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: go to things that they were invited to, and I 409 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: would just kind of tag along. It's like, oh, it's 410 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: so and so his little brother, or it's you know, 411 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: his cousin. And I would kind of go and see 412 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: people from my high school and people who I went 413 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: to school with at these parties and just be kind 414 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: of weird because I was the shy, quiet kid in class, 415 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: and I would kind of get put into the situation 416 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: where I'm hanging out with these other people. But I 417 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: never went to a kind of high school party like 418 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: something like in this movie Book Smart or any kind 419 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: of like the typical high school party where it's people 420 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: hanging out, drinking and partying. Like that was never me, 421 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: And I don't really feel either for me that it 422 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: was like I was so focused on school, which I 423 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: was a good student like a's and b's throughout high school, 424 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: but I didn't feel like I wanted a party I 425 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: didn't like. I didn't like because I got to see 426 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: it from like an outside perspective of being there but 427 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: not really being a part of it. That I didn't 428 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: feel like I missed out on anything, Like I didn't 429 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: have like this feeling like they did in the movie 430 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: of like, oh, I wasted this entire time like not partying. 431 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: Did you feel like you, like, looking back on high school, 432 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: you would want to go back and maybe party a 433 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: little bit resolutely not see it's I think it's just 434 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: a little overrated. Did you go to prom? I did 435 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: go to prom? Say I didn't go to prom, and 436 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I missed out on anything there either. 437 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: I went to prom with like six of my best 438 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: friends and that was the only reason it was fun. 439 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: But we had our promise space, so that was way 440 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: too small, and so most of the night we just 441 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: stood outside and talked to each other and probably our teachers. 442 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: Like I, well, I made it a thing to like 443 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: not go to prom, like I was very more anti 444 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: social than I am now, and I think in high 445 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: school I had a little more purpose of being like 446 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: anti doing like normal traditional things. I was like, I'm 447 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: not going to go to prom as kind of like 448 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go against the establishment in a way. But 449 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: looking back, I don't think even if I didn't feel 450 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: that way, I wouldn't have wanted to go to Prom. 451 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: And I never feel like there's a space missing in 452 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: me of like, oh I really wish I would have gone. 453 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: You're not missing much. Um. But other things in this 454 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: movie that I felt I related to was kind of 455 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: their friendship, Like of like how I never had a 456 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: friend like that in high school that I was so 457 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: close with that I did everything with and like planned 458 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: out like our entire future with. I think that was 459 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: more like with my brother, So I kind of felt 460 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: like that was my relationship that I felt from this movie. 461 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: It wasn't so much like like with me, like a 462 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: person I went to high school with that I kind 463 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: of went on to college with. Like my brother was 464 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: seven years older than me, but once I graduated high school, 465 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: we were both together made a decision to move from 466 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: our hometown to Austin, Texas, and I felt like we 467 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of had that relationship of like we were so 468 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: close we would fight a lot, but then we would 469 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: kind of make it up and be cool again. Which 470 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: they kind of have a whole fight and big blow 471 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: up in this movie. Um, was there anything else that 472 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: kind of stick out from you that you related to 473 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: I never I didn't get so much like how on 474 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: brand it was with your comedy, like like that's why 475 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: you liked it so much. I didn't realize that until 476 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: now really that I related to it a little bit. 477 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything else that wouldn't give away spoilers. True, 478 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: still a fresh movie. So what would you rate this movie? 479 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Four and a half out of five books, four and 480 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: half out of five. I think I'll go I'll go 481 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: one down and give it four out of five. Looks. 482 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: It's pretty. It's really good, like for a good comedy. 483 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: I think it's really worth watching. And I like the 484 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: different perspective that it is from, like a female perspective, 485 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: but never feels like like a girly movie, I guess, 486 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: or like they take anything away from that. The director 487 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: lived with a wild I really like her too, and 488 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: it got like a pretty good buzz whenever like Oscars 489 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: came around. It didn't really get nominated for anything, but man, 490 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: I feel like that was kind of a sleeper movie. 491 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: But last year that I felt a lot of people 492 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: talked about, but it kind of took me a while 493 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: to see and I'm but I'm glad I did. And 494 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: I feel like maybe because it didn't have huge names 495 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: in it, But I think that's what made it good too, 496 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: is that it's fresher actresses, so they haven't done a 497 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: thousand comedies and it's not them just doing the same 498 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: role over and over. I feel like comedies are almost 499 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: better when you don't have a big name attached to 500 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: it because it allows you to watch this movie kind 501 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: of like with just focusing on the story and what's 502 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: happening other than like, oh, it's so and so acting 503 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: right now. Like I think that has a better kind 504 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: of I don't know a better set up for a 505 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: to be a good comedy than just throwing in a 506 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: bunch of a list actors to do things you don't 507 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: go in with any expectations. And there's a lot of 508 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: was there good some there's some good cameos in this too. Yeah, 509 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: he's pretty funny in it. Yeah, So you can watch 510 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: We watched it on what Hulu, and I think it's 511 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: you can. If it's you don't have Hulu, I think 512 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: you can rent it on other places for like three bucks. 513 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: So um, if you're looking for something funny to watch, 514 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: we recommend checking out Book Smart.

And also, before we hop 528 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: out of here, I have some quick a movie news 529 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: to go over and I thought since Kelsey is still here, um, 530 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: we will do it together. So first of all, Adam 531 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: Sandler's movie Uncut Gems has been added to Netflix, which 532 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: I feel that movie had very split reviews. Um, you 533 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: either loved it or hated it because it's such a 534 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: stressful movie and it's a dramatic Adam Sandler roll, which 535 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: I think people expect him to do more comedy stuff, 536 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: and it's kind of seeing him in a different light. 537 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: And we saw this movie in theaters and it is 538 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: legit the most stressed I've been seeing a movie in 539 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: a really long time. And I tweeted after I watched 540 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: this movie that I was on the edge of my 541 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: seat watching this and you can confirm that I was 542 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: literally on the edge of my seat, right, I've never 543 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: seen you so stressed out during a movie. It was 544 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 1: also pretty stressed. It's a very stressful movie, and it 545 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: has this kind of fast paced and like what's about 546 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: it happened throughout the entire a movie Like it has 547 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: this feeling of just like, oh, everything is frantic. Every 548 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: kind of situation he gets into feels like, holy crap, 549 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: like what's about to happen? And I felt that way, 550 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: just so tense throughout the entire movie that I enjoyed that, like, 551 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: I liked. I like any kind of movie that makes 552 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: me feel something real. And I was in that movie 553 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: theater in that scene, and I felt like I was 554 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: on a roller Coast here. But I think other people 555 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: you don't like it because of the stressfulness. You don't 556 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: like the violence in this movie. So I feel you're 557 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: going to see it as either one you liked or 558 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: you hated. What did you like or hate? It wasn't 559 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: my favorite movie, but I also didn't hate it. I 560 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: don't even think I watched a trailer for it. I 561 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: do think with a lot of movies that I go 562 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: to see with you, I just you blindly go see them, like, Okay, 563 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: I've heard like two things about this heard it's a 564 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: movie and that it's out. That's about it. Um. Yeah, 565 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: I was really stressful, and I don't love to be 566 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: stressed during movies. Don't do suspense, I don't do scary. 567 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: I still liked it. Though I thought the plot was good, 568 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: I think it could have been a little less stressful, 569 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: But overall, I will say that I liked it. How 570 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: do you feel about Adam Sandler as a serious actor 571 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: in this Do you think he's a good actor or 572 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: do you kind of feel like it was overhyped. I 573 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: thought he pulled it off well doing a dramatic role, 574 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: and again, maybe that's going into it without expectations. Because 575 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: I've never seen Adam Sandler really do a dramatic role, 576 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: so I think that's probably why I thought he was good. 577 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: I think if I had gone in like expecting big 578 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: things from him, I might have been disappointed. But again, 579 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: just went into it knowing nothing. Well, it is streaming 580 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: now on Netflix, so i'd say watched. If you're hesitant 581 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: on watching a stressful movie, give it like thirty minutes, 582 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: and if you're not into the plot by that, what 583 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 1: less than that? I'd say less than that. I'd say 584 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: if you're not into it, about like minutes in okay, 585 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: so give it the fifteen minutes on Netflix. If you 586 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: already have Netflix, it's free, so you're not losing anything 587 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: but having to rent it. But I think if you're 588 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: into action movies, if you're into I feel it's a 589 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: a whole different kind of plot than anything that's been 590 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: out recently. So, um, if you want to give that 591 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: a shot, it's on Netflix now. It's just so it 592 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: almost reminded me of how stressed I was watching The Joker, 593 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: which again is another one of your favorites. We differ. 594 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: They're not as dark. It's kind of in that same style. 595 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: It's not as twisted and like I just felt myself 596 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: holding my breath at so many points. It's one of 597 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: those don't even bother getting like a movie snack. You're 598 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: gonna be too stressed. It's not a movie snack. The 599 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: other bit of movie news is that um Regal Cinema 600 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: is saying they're gonna open starting in July. And you 601 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: and I the last movie we saw together was probably 602 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: in January. February we saw Birds of Prey, okay, And 603 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: the last movie I saw by myself was in March 604 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: onward and that was that's kind of our thing. We 605 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: go watch movies and um with you. Living in Austin, 606 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: we have Alamo Drafthouse there, which is you like it 607 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: because you can order food and drinks. I don't really 608 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: like watching movies with food or drink. But they have 609 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: really great screens, which I think kind of gets looked 610 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: over and all the other stuff to those movie theaters, 611 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: but like it looks different there and they have like 612 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: it's like this really nice four K. I know I'm 613 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: getting nerdy here. With the sound and the visual quality, 614 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: they're just so much better than other movie theaters do. 615 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: I really like it. And they also put a lot 616 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: of emphasis into what they showed before the previews, Like 617 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: for the Adam Sandler movie, they did like a whole 618 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: like setup of like his other movies, and kind of 619 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: a build up to it. They do some kind of 620 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: piece before it that goes along with it, like a 621 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: backstory in Harley Quinn, which I thought was helpful because 622 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: I had no nobody know. Yeah, So I really like 623 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: Alama for that reason of they put a really big 624 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: emphasis on like big movie fans and you get that 625 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: kind of experience too. And then I feel like my 626 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 1: favorite big chain is probably Regal because I don't know, 627 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: like AMC is cool because they have the really they 628 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: have the IMAX, but I don't know. I like Regal 629 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: for some reason. And they're opening starting in July, which 630 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: that's really the first month that they're putting out any 631 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: kind of new movie straight to theaters again. That new 632 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan movie is going to come out that first 633 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: week of July. And how do you feel about going 634 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: back into a movie theater because I'm I don't know, 635 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: like July feels soon to me, like I know that 636 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: movie theaters and movies are coming back then, but I 637 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: don't think I'm ready to go back. I don't know 638 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: that I want to go sit in the theater and 639 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: have to wear a mask to watch a movie, which 640 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: I know it is going to be the protocol for 641 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things. I just don't know that I 642 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: want to go. I think I would be too stressed out, 643 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: Like I don't think I would pay attention to the movie. Yeah, 644 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of all kind of I feel like even 645 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: going to the grocery store now feels like a process. 646 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: It's stressful and any Like, I don't mind wearing a mask, 647 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: but I think if I'm going somewhere where it's supposed 648 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: to be, I'm enjoying some thing and sitting there, I 649 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: don't want to have to be concerned of all the 650 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: other things around me. Like I like going in and 651 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: being super zoned into the movie, And it feels like 652 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be an added step right now, and 653 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable that i'd feel totally just relaxed 654 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: going to watch a movie like that. I would rather 655 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: watch it at home right now. I'd rather wait a while. 656 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: I think I just wonder kind of what they're gonna do, 657 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: because if these theaters and the companies are putting out 658 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: movies and people aren't going like did they pull them 659 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: again or do they put them back on streaming? Because 660 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: they feel like right before everything is shut down. I know, 661 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: talking about alabout Drafthouse, they had done kind of a 662 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: reduced seating capacity and if you were going with someone 663 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: you could buy seats together, um, but other than that 664 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: they had like several seats blocked off in between. So 665 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: I think they'll just kind of do like social distancing 666 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: within a theater. What would be a cool thing to 667 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: do now is bring out an entire theater and just 668 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: you and I could go watch a movie. Sounds great, 669 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: all right, we'll do that and we'll go watch Mulan 670 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: all right, perfect, all right. So that's been the episode 671 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: for this week. Thanks every buddy for listening. I will 672 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: talk to you guys next week later m
