1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today we're talking about the

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: top ten highest grossing R rated movies of all time.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: I'll give you what I consider the best, the worst,

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: the first R rated movie I ever saw, Oh Boy,

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: that was traumatizing. In the movie review, we'll be talking

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: about d D, which is a coming of age movie

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: set in the late two thousands in the trailer park.

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at a movie called A Complete Unknown,

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: better known as the Bob Dylan Biopic, with Timmy tim

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Timothy Shallowmet playing Bob Dylan. I have a history of

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: not enjoying biopicks because I often feel they're rushed, even

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: more so when the person is still alive at the

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: time the movie comes out. So not looking good for

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: this movie as of now. But thank you for being here,

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew.

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: And now let's talk movies.

19
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: much movie knowledge.

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 4: He's basically like a walking IMTB. With Glasses from the

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 4: Nashville podcast network. This is Movie Mikes Movie Podcast.

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: One of the biggest headlines since dead Pula Wolverine came out,

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: all the box office records it has broken. In my opinion,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: the biggest record is becoming the highest grossing R rated

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: movie in the United States, beating out The Passion of

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: the Christ. And I want to get into this full

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: top ten list because oddly, when looking at the top

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: ten highest grossing R rated movies in the US, they

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: are all pretty vastly different. And when I consider what

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: goes into making an R rated movie, I think you

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: would start to fall into some of the same type

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: of genre. For me, I feel like the R rated

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: genre is dominated by horror, especially now in today's market,

37
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: where I feel like studios are hesitant to put out

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: an R rated movie because you are limiting your audience,

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: and you don't want to reduce your audience right now.

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: You want as many people to go and see your

41
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: movie as possible. So I think it is amazing that

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: Deadpool and Wolverine has already crossed that mark. So we'll

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: get into that top ten list. But my history with

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: R rated movies, We're gonna do first, Last, regretful, worst,

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: and greatest R rated movie of all time. The first

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: R rated movie I ever saw. I was seven years.

47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: Old in nineteen ninety eight.

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: This movie came out in nineteen eighty eight and is

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: regarded as the movie that almost traumatized me forever. It

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: was child's play. The reason I watched this movie at

51
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: seven years old. The reason I was really exposed to

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: so many things so early on is because I have

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: an older brother and an older sister who are seven

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: and nine years older than me, so they were probably

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: fifteen fourteen years old in that age range, and I

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: was always exposed to things that they were exposed to

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: just because I was around. I wanted to be with him,

58
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: and my parents were okay with it for the most part.

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: I think the problem my parents had was nudity. They

60
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: could do and deal with us watching bloody and violent things.

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: That was okay with him. They were used to that.

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: We would even watch old school eighties Mexican movies with

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: people getting shot and cut up, and that was fine

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: with them. But when it came to anything showing a nipple,

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: we were not exposed to that. And we'll get into

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: one of the movies later on this list. That was

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: traumatizing for everybody in that picture. But I always wanted

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: to be just like my brother, just like my sister,

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: and for that reason is why I was what was

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: considered to be a lot more of a mature kid

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: growing up. My teachers would be like, there's something about

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Mikey here that he just doesn't really interact with all

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the other kids the same way. He speaks differently. He's

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of an outcast and was always viewed

75
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: as being much I don't want to say older and wiser,

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: but I had an older soul just because I was

77
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: used to being around two older all the time, and

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that probably has a lot to do with some of

79
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: my trauma from my early years. But what came along

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: with that is I watched a lot of movies I

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: was not supposed to watch. And the way we watched

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Child's Play is we used to go to Walmart, and

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: there was a video store connected to our Walmart back

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: in the nineties. I don't even think it made it

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: to the two thousands. It wasn't even a name brand

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: video store like Blockbuster or anything. I really never went

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: to Blockbuster as a kid. Their prices were astronomical for us.

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: We never had a membership card, so I don't really

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: get nostalgic for Blockbuster.

90
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: The other video.

91
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Store in town and walks of Hatchie, we had a

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: place that was just called the video store and you

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: could go rent movies for a dollar. They would have

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: these little hooks on the wall with a number written

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: on them. They were like these little coin medallion things,

96
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and you would take it off the wall on any

97
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: movie you wanted to rent and then just go up

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: to the cashier and give them all these little coins

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: and they would go get the VHS or the DVD

100
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: for you. That is was probably our primary source of

101
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: video rental after the video store inside of the Walmart

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: could put But the first time we ever went and

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: rented a movie from this Walmart video rental place, I

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: had my cousins in town from Memphis and we wanted

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: to rent some movies, and that was really the only

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: way we could convince my mom to allow us to

107
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: rent something because we just never paid for that. If

108
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: we were going to get a movie in any capacity,

109
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: we would buy it from the flea market. That way

110
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: we could keep it forever and watch it for years

111
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: to come, which we did it with a lot of

112
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: our vhs, but convinced her to do it. And I

113
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: don't know why she let us rent Child's Play. Maybe

114
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 1: she didn't really know what it was. Maybe it's because

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: Chucky is on the cover and it looks like it

116
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: could be a movie for kids.

117
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: There's a doll on it.

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was really going on back

119
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties where people were confused about

120
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: what Chucky was, but maybe it got past my parents.

121
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: And we also rented one more VHS that night, and

122
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: it was a ThunderCats VHS. I think it was just

123
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: episodes of ThunderCats from the eighties, and I remember my

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: brother being a big fan of that show, and it

125
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: blew our mind that it was available to watch it home,

126
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: back when you had to watch everything on regular TV.

127
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: But we rent a Child's Play, watched it on a

128
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: Friday night, and by late Friday night, I was traumatized.

129
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: It freaked me out so bad. I thought all of

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: my toys were going to come to life. The first

131
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: kill in this movie is just burned into my head

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: as being one of the gnarliest things I ever witnessed

133
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: as a kid, and I was so freaked out by

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: the end of this movie that I was so glad

135
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: that we had also rented ThunderCats because it was kind

136
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: of a palate cleanser and I still need that to

137
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: this day. If I watch a really dark show, like

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: I was just watching The Boys on Amazon, and not

139
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: that that show would give you nightmares, but there are

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: some very graphic and violent images that if I watched

141
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: that show right before bed, it could creep to.

142
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: My dreams and I have nightmares.

143
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: So sometimes I'll throw in an episode of Dragon ball

144
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Z in between, so I don't have that as the

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: last thing I watched. But luckily we had a VHS

146
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: tape of ThunderCats. I watched that after Child's Play, but

147
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Sdelle ended up having nightmares. So that was the first

148
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: ever R rated movie I watched back when I was

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: seven years old in nineteen ninety eight. Last R rated

150
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: movie I watched in theaters was Deadpool in Wolverine. Streaming

151
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: at home, it was probably Late Night with the Devil Love.

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: That horror movie still in my running for the best

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: horror movie of the year. That movie, in my mind

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: is battling out right now with Long Legs as taking

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: that number.

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: One spot.

157
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Most regretful R rated movie I ever watched was also.

158
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety eight.

159
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Another movie we got from the Walmart video rental store,

160
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: and it was Beloved, starring Oprah and Danny Glover. I

161
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: don't know what possessed my mom to want to rent

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: this movie. This was a pick from my mom. And

163
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: if you listen to this podcast, you know that my

164
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: mom oddly loves horror movies. Really, the genre she leans

165
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: into most is horror movies, and it doesn't matter if

166
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: it's overle gory, if it's I would say she leans

167
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: more towards like a possession type movie, anything related with

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: any kind of exorcism Laorna. She loves Annabelle in the

169
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Conjuring series. She is all about the horror genre. Second

170
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: favorite genre of movie for her is probably animated when

171
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: it comes to Pixar movies, Coco being one of her

172
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time. In that third category, it

173
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: would definitely be comedies from the nineties. But for some

174
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: reason she wanted to rent Beloved, And maybe it was

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: because Oprah's talk show was much more popular in the nineties.

176
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know if she did an entire segment

177
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: promoting this movie or had people on her show to

178
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: talk about it. But for some reason, when this movie

179
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: came out on VHS, my mom wanted to rent it.

180
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: And if you've never seen Beloved, it is a very

181
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: stirring and weird movie that's part drama, part fantasy horror,

182
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: and we were not.

183
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Prepared for this type of movie.

184
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: If you've ever went blind to a film, this is

185
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: not one to go in blind on that you watch

186
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: with your parents, and you probably have a story like

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: this of hey, let's all go watch this movie as

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: a family. It's our rated, but it'll be okay, and

189
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: then bam, you get a wiener on the screen, you

190
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: get people hooking up, you get something that is going

191
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: to traumatize your experience that you were not expected to

192
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: see with.

193
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: Your mom and dad. Beloved is one of them.

194
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Again, if you're not familiar with this movie, it has

195
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: full frontal nudity, and my seven year old self was

196
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: exposed to that with my mom for the very first time.

197
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: I think my mom gasped in sheer terror of what

198
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: was happening on this screen. That paired with the fact

199
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: that we didn't really understand what was going on in

200
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: this movie. It was hard for us to comprehend not

201
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: movie we should have watched together as a family, But

202
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: that scene came out of nowhere, and I will never

203
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: forget it, much like I never forgot the first time

204
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: I saw Child's Play. So the one regretful R rated

205
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: movie I have is beloved from nineteen eighty eight. I

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: feel like, now, as an adult thirty three years old,

207
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: I should revisit that movie to see if I understand

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. Now people say you have

209
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: to read the book before watching that movie to understand it.

210
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that would have helped, but still I regret that

211
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: R rated movie. The worst R rated movie I've ever

212
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: seen has to go to Showgirls, and this was back

213
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: when Elizabeth Berkeley was primarily known as Jesse Spanno on

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Saved by the Bell and a lot of actors have

215
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: this journey where you get known for something so wholesome

216
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: and something associated with your childhood or just a very

217
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: family friendly show. You want to shake that. You want

218
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: to do something different. You want to show people that

219
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm not that character anymore. I could do more adult,

220
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: mature things. And I think that's the idea that Elizabeth

221
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Berkeley had going into Showgirls. What I don't like about

222
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: R rated movies like this. It's one thing to show nudity,

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: but when you're just showing it for the sake of

224
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: showing it and making it R rated, making it raunchy

225
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: and being just so shocking, it is probably the worst

226
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: thing you can do. Just looking at the acting in

227
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: this movie, I don't understand how at any point while

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: filming this they actually thought it was going to be good.

229
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Berkeley's character in this movie is so chaotic, so

230
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: overly dramatic, she makes no sense. She goes from trying

231
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: to be sweet and inviting to just blowing up on people,

232
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: stabbing people in the back. And on top of that,

233
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: why you can't take it seriously is everybody's naked all

234
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: the time. And I get it, it's a movie called

235
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Showgirls set in Vegas.

236
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: But I believe it was overly R.

237
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Rated just for the sake of doing you can get

238
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: almost got slapped with the NC seventeen rating, which is

239
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: a whole other episode of this podcast. But worst R

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: rated movie I've ever seen, Ghosts to Showgirls, greatest R

241
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: rated movie I've ever seen. Mentioning earlier, I believe that

242
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: the R rated category belongs to the horror film. When

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: I thought of R rated movies I wanted to see

244
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: as a kid go to the theater and experience that I

245
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: couldn't get into. It was always a horror movie, with

246
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: the exception of the teen comedy about people hooking up

247
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: that came later in the mid two thousands. But I

248
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: still feel and believe that the genre is owned by

249
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: scary and horror movies because sometimes it's odd why other

250
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: movies get categorized as R rated movies. And when we

251
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: talk about the highest grossing R rated movies of all time,

252
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: a lot of the times it is due to language,

253
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: using of the F word explicitly, and then often just

254
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: because you see a nipple or a butt, they throw

255
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: R rating on it. For me, that doesn't really always

256
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: warrant an R rating. They may have changed the guidelines

257
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, but usually you get the one F bomb,

258
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: a handful of S words to keep that PG thirteen ratings,

259
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: so they use them very very cautiously, but you get

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: any amount of skin and bam R rated. So with that,

261
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I go back to a classic which actually has sub nudity,

262
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: but it is Halloween, which was one of my favorite

263
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: scary movies growing up and still one of my favorites

264
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: of all time. Change the landscape of horror in the

265
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: late seventies going into the eighties. I think other horror

266
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: franchises like Friday the Thirteenth Nightmare on Elm Street greatly

267
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: benefited from the success of Halloween. So that is my

268
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: favorite R rated movie of all time. Getting now into

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: the list of the top ten highest grossing R rated

270
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: movies in the United States at number ten from two

271
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: thousand and nine is The Hangover. I believe that this

272
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: is the last R rated movie that we all experienced

273
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: as a nation. Seems like there were so many in

274
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: the late nineties movies like American Pie early two thousands,

275
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: knocked Up, forty year old Virgin, Old School, But now

276
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: those movies have kind of dried up. And I'm talking

277
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: about the genre of movies that we all watched and quoted.

278
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: They were in constant rotation on TBS, so you could

279
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: not miss these movies. The last one, I feel had

280
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: that same level of impact and that same giant footprint

281
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: was The Hangover, and I believe is the only comedy

282
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in theaters twice. I loved it that much.

283
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: That is in at number ten. At number nine is

284
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the Matrix reloaded from two thousand and three.

285
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: I was never too.

286
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Huge into all of the Matrix movies. They went a

287
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: little bit over my head. When the first one came

288
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: out in ninety nine, I was still eight years old.

289
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the parodies of the Matrix more than I enjoyed.

290
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: The actual mo movies.

291
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: But what I could respect is what they did for

292
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: film at the turn of the century. Coming out in

293
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine, going into the two thousands, this was so

294
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: influential on all different types of filmmaking, primarily in the

295
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: sci fi genre, but also in action movies. This movie

296
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: was so cool and futuristic. It pushed the envelope when

297
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: it comes to special effects. The problem that The Matrix

298
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: ended up having is the first one was so good.

299
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: It was so hard to make a decent sequel.

300
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: To these movies.

301
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: They even tried it again back in twenty twenty one,

302
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that any of those sequels were inherently bad.

303
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: It was almost as if the Matrix should have stood

304
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: as a one and done. But obviously having that much

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: success with the sequel from two thousand and three, making

306
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: this list. You're gonna chase that money, You're gonna put

307
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Keanu Reeves.

308
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: Back in that leather.

309
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: So I respect this franchise for what it did, But

310
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: out of every movie on this list, it is probably

311
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: my lead's favorite. At number eight from twenty eighteen is

312
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Deadpool two. Out of every movie on this list, I

313
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: think this one has no reason to be here. It

314
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: kind of snuck in there, and it really rode the

315
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: success of Deadpool One, which was so polarizing and one

316
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't expected to catch on as much as it did.

317
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: But this sequel just did not live up to that.

318
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: So with that said, I have more respect for the

319
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: Matrix reloaded than I do Deadpool two. It is a

320
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,119
Speaker 1: fine movie, but easily the weakest now in that trilogy

321
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: to date. But at number eight is Deadpool two. At

322
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: number seven from twenty seventeen, is it This movie kind

323
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: of rattled me. I think that's a little rare coming

324
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: out in twenty seventeen. I was twenty six. I was

325
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: pretty jaded at this point when it comes to R

326
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: rated horror movies, and the original movie was always creepy

327
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: to me, and I don't really have a phobia of clowns.

328
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: I never found the original one to be that scary,

329
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: aside from the scene wherever a Wise would open up

330
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: his mouth and you'd see all the teeth and he

331
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: would look real demonic. That scene got me a little

332
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: bit as a kid. But I feel like Pennywise in

333
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: that movie was so just felt like a birthday party

334
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: clown and was so comical looking to me for the

335
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: most part that I never found it to be that scary.

336
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 1: When it came to twenty seventeen, it, oh my gosh,

337
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: they turned it up so much and they were really

338
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: able to make him, in my eyes, be the version

339
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: he needed to be to be truly terrifying. The third

340
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: act in it is one of the best third acts

341
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: in any horror movie from the twenty tens. That final showdown,

342
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: that final fight where Pennywise goes all out to try

343
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: and kill these kids, to try and terrify them and

344
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: also in turn.

345
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: Terrify you as the viewer.

346
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: I remember getting actually heated in my seat, like physically hot,

347
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: because my mind couldn't really comprehend all of these insane

348
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: images with all the blood, and I thought Bill Skarsgard

349
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: did a fantastic job as Penny wise, I'm glad this

350
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: movie made it on this list at number seven. At

351
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: number six is well before the number one movie. The

352
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: latest entry from twenty twenty three is Oppenheimer. I'm still

353
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: surprised by how well this movie did.

354
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: I still really enjoyed it. In my eyes.

355
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I still believe it is a five out of five

356
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: how I rated it last summer. I really think the

357
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: reason this movie was so successful was because of the

358
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Barbenheimer promotion. That wasn't even a real promotion. It was

359
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: just that hype of two very different movies coming out

360
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: on the same weekend, and people just ended up watching

361
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: them both. You'll never experience that again. Because I feel

362
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: as good of a movie as Oppenheimer is, it wouldn't

363
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: have been successful if it did not come out the same.

364
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: Weekend as Barbie.

365
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: It wouldn't because on paper, there is nothing that tells

366
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: me that it would have the same effect if it

367
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: came out on a different weekend, even a week after,

368
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: much less in a different season, which it could have

369
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: easily not come out in the summer and come out

370
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: in the fall and really leaned into the Oscar season.

371
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: But the movie is three hours long, diving into the

372
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: life and the mind of a very unorthodox historical figure.

373
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: But it was also the fact that I watched this

374
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: movie in seventy milimeter Imax, so I was engulfed in

375
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: the screen and fully had my attention on every single

376
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: frame of this movie. I feel like for the people

377
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: who waited and watched it at home, Oh man, I

378
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: don't know if the story came across the same way,

379
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: because I feel that three hour movies are a lot

380
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: easier to do and take in and not be distracted

381
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: if you go see them in a theater then if

382
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you see them at home. But now, rounding out the

383
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: top five at number five from twenty nineteen is Joker.

384
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: It's a masterpiece. Very rarely do I call a movie

385
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: a masterpiece, but for the longest time, I love this

386
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: movie so much After seeing it in theaters that year,

387
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: which twenty nineteen one of the best years in film

388
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: of all time and the last great year we've had.

389
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three got really close there for a second,

390
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: but then the writers an actor strike just kind of

391
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: took the wind out of its sales. Twenty twenty four

392
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: has been a big rebuilding year. I think twenty twenty

393
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: five is going to be the only year in recent

394
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: history that could rival twenty nineteen.

395
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: But for the longest time, after.

396
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: Watching Joker in theaters, which I believe was just one

397
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: of the best experience I've had watching an R rated

398
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: movie in theaters, I never wanted to watch it again.

399
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until recently, maybe twenty twenty one or

400
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: even early twenty twenty two, that I watched it again

401
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: for the second time, because I didn't want to ruin

402
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: that experience. Sometimes there comes a movie where you love

403
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: so much, you know if you go back and rewatch it,

404
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna point out plot holes, You're gonna find things

405
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: to critique, and those will be movies that I will

406
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: not go back and rewatch. And it's usually the movies

407
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: I end up rating a five out of five and

408
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: don't want to find those little things that I can

409
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: go back and nitpick or think, oh, maybe that wasn't

410
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: as good as the first time I saw it. But

411
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: Joker was that for a very long time. I'm not sure.

412
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: If Joker Too could live up to those expectations.

413
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: They put out the latest trailer in the last two

414
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: to three weeks, and I'm hoping that it's not the

415
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: exact same thing as part one, which is always hard

416
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: when you make a sequel. You want to give people

417
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: what they loved about the first one, but also give

418
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: them something that they had no idea they wanted, and

419
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: that is the kiss of death when it comes to

420
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: making a sequel to as beloved a movie like Joker.

421
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: Although I feel like you have to be in a

422
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: certain headspace to watch this movie, it's also a movie.

423
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's for everyone. Before those people who

424
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: like R rated movies that are in the comic book world,

425
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: I think it's perfection. So how can Joker two still

426
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: appease those fans while also giving them something different and

427
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: not alienating other people from.

428
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: Watching this movie?

429
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: The really tough thing to do, but I think Todd Phillips,

430
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: Joaquin Phoenix, and Lady Gaga can pull it off. Still

431
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: super excited for Joker two, but Joker one comes in

432
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: at number five at number four from twenty fourteen American Sniper.

433
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: Out of all the films on this list, this one

434
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: is the most surprising, and when looking at all the

435
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: different genres in this top ten, you have superhero movies,

436
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: you have horror movies, you have bio picks, you have

437
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: horror movies again, comedy in there, but this is the

438
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: only war and action movie the real life story of

439
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: US Navy Seal Chris Kyle played by Bradley Cooper. And

440
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: the reason I love this movie is not only did

441
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: it show the dark and off full side of war,

442
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: it also focused on the PTSD of war and when

443
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: soldiers go fight for our country and then come back

444
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: home and are expected just to click back into society.

445
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: And this was the first time I saw it depicted

446
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: in a way that it really registered with me. How

447
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: somebody can go overseas and do something that's just so

448
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: beyond what I can comprehend, and you imagine the toll

449
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: it takes on your brain, on your body, seeing some

450
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: of the most awful things you could see as a

451
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: human being, and come back and know that people appreciate

452
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: what you did, which I'll just say, shout out to

453
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: our military. And even though US as civilians can sing

454
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: you our praises, we just can't comprehend it because we

455
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: didn't go through it. And in this movie showing his character,

456
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: showing Chris Kyle having to come back and adjust the

457
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: family life. Oh, the scene with him and his daughter

458
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: like just him holding her in her arms, and you

459
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: hear it in his head that he hears all this

460
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: war going on. That is a scene that really sets

461
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: in with me that you're expected to go to war

462
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: and come back and just have a normal life where

463
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: you're just going to the grocery store and taking away

464
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: all those awful images from your head. So I love

465
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: that the movie shine light on that. And it also

466
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: had one of the most intense scenes where you could

467
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: hear Bradley Cooper's heartbeat, and I just remember the entire

468
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: theater being so silent in that moment where you could

469
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: just hear the popcorn hitting the floor. So I was

470
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised to see American Sniper at number four. Moving

471
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: on to the top three at number three is twenty

472
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: sixteen's Deadpool, an unexpected hit from a.

473
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: Mid comic book character.

474
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Deadpool was by no means one of the best Marvel offerings,

475
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: but that is kind of the history of the success

476
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: of Marvel. After so early on they sold off all

477
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: the movie rights to their best characters and had to

478
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: do what really no other studio could do and build

479
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: an entire billion dollar company off of their lesser known characters.

480
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: So I'll take all the bad.

481
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: Marvel movies we got in the early and mid two thousands,

482
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: because all of those gave birth to what is known

483
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: now as our MCU. But then rounding out the top

484
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: two at number two is The Passion of the Christ

485
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: from two thousand and four. If you missed the episode

486
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: where I talked about where I watched this movie for

487
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: the first time, I'll take you back to two thousand

488
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: and four Janajuato, Mexico. We had just bought I think

489
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: I got it for Christmas. Was our first ever portable

490
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: DVD player that we all used as a family, and

491
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't a nice one. We got it from Walmart.

492
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: It was probably like fifty bucks, so very bottom of

493
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: the line portable DVD player. The battery life was terrible.

494
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I had to keep it on the chargers of the

495
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: entire time. But we went to Mexico for Christmas in

496
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, went to a Mexican flea market

497
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: and bought a bunch of bootleg DVDs. And bootleg DVDs

498
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: in the two thousands were not straight video rips. It

499
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: was somebody going into a theater and filming the entire

500
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: movie on a handheld video camera and that is how

501
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: I watched Passionate the Christ on a bootleg DVD. My

502
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: mom had a moral dilemma with it, so eventually we

503
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: ended up watching it on normal DVD.

504
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: But she still struggles with.

505
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: This movie because it is hard for her to see

506
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the story just unfold in an R rated fashion, and

507
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: that was with even her knowing what was coming, because

508
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: she read the book before watching this movie, which I

509
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: think most people did right the Bible. At number one

510
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: is Deadpool and Wolverine now taking that number one spot.

511
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: If you missed it last week here on the feed,

512
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: I put up my spoiler. Yes, the version of the

513
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: review with all the spoilers talked about my favorite cameos.

514
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I've mentioned and talked about my feelings

515
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: of Deadpool and Wolverine enough. But if you missed that, also,

516
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: if you miss the entire breakdown I did of Robert

517
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: Downey Junior coming back to the MCU as Doctor Doom,

518
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: all those episodes are on the feed as well. So

519
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: that is the List'll come back and give my review

520
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: of d D and in the trailer part, we'll talk

521
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: about the new Bob Dylan biopic with Timothy Chalomey.

522
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: Let's get into It Now. A spoiler free movie review

523
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: of Dedi.

524
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: It is a coming of age story of a thirteen

525
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: year old and his last summer before starting high school.

526
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Dedy is a movie for anybody who has ever been

527
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: a teenager, simple as that. I love coming of age movies,

528
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: and there's a very delicate line you need to walk

529
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: to tell a story about a thirteen year old. We've

530
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: all been there, we've all been teenagers. We know what

531
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: the experience is like. You're very angsty, you want to

532
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: lash out against your parents, You're navigating all these feelings, relationships,

533
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: all these things you're experiencing for the first time. For

534
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: me is getting a lot of hair, starting to smell weird,

535
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: all those things that go along with being thirteen years old.

536
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: The line you have to walk while making a movie

537
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: about this is do you want to make it appeal

538
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: to thirteen year olds or do you want to make

539
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: it appeal to the adult to look back and remember

540
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: on what it's like being thirteen. In the case of Diti,

541
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: it is making that experience feel very adult, taking everything

542
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: into consideration of what you experienced to that time and

543
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: validating it, not making it feel less than just very

544
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: much giving an adult perspective on what it was like

545
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: being thirteen. Because if you think back on that time,

546
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: you in your head when you were thirteen saw things

547
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: as I'm now older, this is affecting me. Nobody understands me.

548
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: You felt in that moment that you were an adult.

549
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: You look back later when you're eighteen, twenty, whatever, thirty,

550
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, I was just a dumb kid,

551
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: But in that moment, you believe like this is your

552
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: whole world. Nobody understands you, your parents don't get you.

553
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: So I really love that perspective from this thirteen year

554
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: old who isn't a bad kid, but he's not the

555
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: best kid. He'd gets into some trouble. And I very

556
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: much identified with DEDI in this movie. Oh, because there

557
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: were so many aspects of this movie. The very first

558
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: thing I want to talk about is I love that

559
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: this movie was set in two thousand and eight. I've

560
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: talked about on this podcast how I feel my best

561
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: year was two thousand and nine, and I would say

562
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: my best school year was my senior year, which was

563
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: eight to nine. And the reason that is it's because

564
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: that was a time in my life where I had

565
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: the least amount of responsibility and the most freedom. Senior year,

566
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: I could drive. My classes in high school were very

567
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: laid back. In my senior year, I had like half days,

568
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: so I was looking ahead to college, but I knew

569
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: this was the time in my life that I was

570
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: just gonna enjoy it, go do things with my friends,

571
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: not take things so seriously, because I knew once college started,

572
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: then okay, to get to work. Then it's time for

573
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: me to start thinking about my future more. Not that

574
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about it in high school, but I

575
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: allowed myself to be fully engaged in those summer activities,

576
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: and that, I believe was that last time I felt

577
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: alive in some aspects. And you know, my life is

578
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: good now. I just that is a time that I

579
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: feel was just so great. And obviously I'm biased because

580
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: the mid to late two thousands is where I experienced

581
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things, But I think that was the

582
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: best decade to grow up in and be young, and

583
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: d D is a great example of that. It took

584
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: me back to things I haven't thought about in ten years,

585
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: the MySpace era, which in this movie, DD is friending

586
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: people on MySpace, looking up their profiles, At the very

587
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: start of the movie, there is a girl he has

588
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: a crush on. He goes through MySpace page to learn

589
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: things about her. He finds her profile song, which is

590
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: a hello goodbye song, takes that song and makes it

591
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: his phone ring tone, which that even brought back memories

592
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: of how important it was to me to pick the

593
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: right ring tone. For me, it was probably like Alkaline Trio,

594
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: maybe ransid Newfound Glory, and that was a thing. Callback

595
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: tones were a thing. And I also think that was

596
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: the best time to be a teenager because for millennials,

597
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: we got to experience the early stages of the Internet

598
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: where nothing was really that serious. Yet we were still

599
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: navigating social media. I had a Zanga page, I had MySpace,

600
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: I had Facebook, but at that time, nobody took it

601
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: that seriously.

602
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: There weren't influencers and it was kind of.

603
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: The wild West on what went into creating your page

604
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: and just friending people. We had a top eight which

605
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: were so brutal and was something also shown in this

606
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: movie of how you would rank your friends, and I

607
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: remember the ultimate thing for me growing up was like

608
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: making my crushes top eight and I was like, how

609
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: did I get in there?

610
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: What did I do.

611
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: My life is going to change forever because I made

612
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: it in their top eight, But it was a brutal thing,

613
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of what happens in DD has to

614
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: do with the technology at that time, very early filmmaking,

615
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: because he starts filming with these skateboarders, so it's very

616
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: much the introduction of the Internet. But it was almost

617
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: like we were all putting on a front at that

618
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: time to create these awesome social media profiles via Facebook

619
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: and MySpace, which I guess we all kind of do

620
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: that now, but I just remembered how important that was

621
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: as a teenager to be friends with your crush on

622
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: Facebook or MySpace, and just all the politics that went

623
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: into that. So I very much felt nostalogic connecting to

624
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: DD's story. The other thing that really struck me just

625
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: on a personal level, even more so than the MySpace

626
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: and the music during that time, which I would say

627
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: was my Space core, but also very much Warped Tour core,

628
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: where my entire summer was based around how good of

629
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: experience I was going to have at warp Tour. But

630
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: the soundtrack just kind of mirrored that and was very

631
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: much a reflection of two thousand and eight and two

632
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. But the family aspect in this movie

633
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: because Dedi is a first generation American. He is from

634
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: a Taiwanese family, and he lives with his mom and

635
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: his grandma, who is very traditional. They take schoolwork very

636
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: seriously because if you don't do good in school, you

637
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 1: won't get into a good college. If you don't get

638
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: into a good college, you won't get a good job.

639
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: If you don't get a good job, you won't find

640
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: a good partner. And a lot of those pressures that

641
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: not only his mom and his grandma put on him

642
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: in this movie are what he's kind of rebelling against.

643
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: And I got that a little bit in my family,

644
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: because my parents did want me to go to college,

645
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: being a first generation American myself, and it wasn't so

646
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: much that there was this pressure that they could show

647
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: me off to like my family, which was a thing

648
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: in this movie. They wanted to impress their aunts, their uncles,

649
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: everybody else in their family. It was just wanted me

650
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: to have a better life than they did. So I

651
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: identified more with the relationship he had with his mom,

652
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: who his dad in this movie really isn't in the picture.

653
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: He is working back in their native country to try

654
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: to make money to send back to them so they

655
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: can live their life. But it was this unique relationship

656
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: he had with his mom who was just trying to

657
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: do her best, trying to raise her two kids and

658
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: feeling like she failed. And it reminded me of a

659
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: conversation I had with my mom fairly recently where she

660
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: felt bad for what kind of mom she was growing

661
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: up to us. And my mom did it finish. I

662
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: don't even think she finished elementary school, never made it

663
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: to middle school. She came to the United States as

664
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: a teenager and did a lot of things just to

665
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: make ends meet. One of those beings, she got a

666
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: job when I started, probably first or second grade, at

667
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Taco Bell and she's been there ever since. And she

668
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: told me she felt like she failed as a mom

669
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: because she couldn't provide more for us, because she felt like,

670
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: I'm just somebody working at Taco Bell and hearing my

671
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: mom have these really human experiences kind of feeling the

672
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: way that I feel at times, feeling I failed them.

673
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: I never really heard my mom speak in that way

674
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: where I always just saw her as my mom, person

675
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: who did everything for us. She was kind of like

676
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: a superhero in my eyes, and realizing that she was

677
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: probably the age I am now at that time when

678
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: I was, you know, starting school and she went to

679
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: go do that job that I just thought, man like,

680
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: we're just humans. We're just trying to survive. And even

681
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: somebody like your parents, who you think have it all

682
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: figured out, they don't.

683
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: So it made me feel a.

684
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Little bit better about where I am in life, thinking

685
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: that my mom didn't know that she was making the

686
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: right choice or not. Back when you know, my oldest

687
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: brother and older sister were already you.

688
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: Know, on the path that they were on.

689
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: They were all good, but still making sure that I

690
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: had what I needed to survive. And I think she

691
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: feels bad about sometimes the way we grew up that

692
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: we didn't have a whole lot, and I never really

693
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: saw it as like, oh man, it sucked being poor.

694
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: At the time, I feel like not having a lot

695
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: growing up, you know, it made me appreciate more of

696
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: what I have.

697
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: And it was.

698
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: Watching d D that brought all those kind of emotions

699
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: up of what it's like to have parents who immigrate

700
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: from another country and come here without a whole lot,

701
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: trying to keep your heritage alive, but also adapt to

702
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: American society, which is what Dedi is trying to do

703
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: in this movie, and it's so hard.

704
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: Even his name.

705
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: His family calls him Dedi, but to everybody else at school,

706
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: he goes by Chris or another nickname. That was kind

707
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: of what I experienced too growing up, because Mike's not

708
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: my real name and I never really used my full

709
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: lead name in school, just because I kind of wanted

710
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: to blend in a little bit more. Also, how deed

711
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: he did of the music he's into. He's into the

712
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: skateboard culture, which was also what I was into growing up,

713
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: and being Mexican, people assume that I wouldn't be into that.

714
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: So there's a line in this movie that I won't

715
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: ruin because it kind of hit me right in the cut,

716
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: and I'll let you experience it. But it was a

717
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: reference to his race in a moment where he thought

718
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: he was just being a peer, maybe a love interest,

719
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: that he was almost reduced to nothing because they pinpointed

720
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: what he was based on his race. And I felt

721
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: that because sometimes people have told me, hey, you're not

722
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: really Mexican, You're kind of white, and I don't even

723
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: know what that means just because I have sometimes nerdier tendencies,

724
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: sometimes because I lean towards liking punk rock and things

725
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: that aren't traditionally Mexican. What is even tradition Mexican. I

726
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: always was into what I was into. I don't feel

727
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: like I based it around my race. It was just

728
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: what I was exposed to and what I liked. But

729
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 1: I was viewed as being different because I wasn't into

730
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: traditional things that a person of my race should be into.

731
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: So there were just a lot of parallels between how

732
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I felt I grew up, the past I had to navigate,

733
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: and what deed had to felt growing up, which I

734
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: feel was good for me to see to know that

735
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: it you know, it is kind of you. There are

736
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: things that are unique to growing up Mexican American, but

737
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: I feel like there are a lot of just parallels

738
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: with anybody who immigrates from another country to the United States.

739
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: So it was cool seeing that I could identify with

740
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: somebody else from a different country and know that we

741
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: kind of went through those same things. So if you

742
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: are like that too, this is definitely a movie you

743
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: have to see, especially if you grew up in the

744
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: mid to late two thousands, because it's going to feel

745
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: like a huge nostalgia trip. They also use AOL a

746
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: lot in this movie, which I hadn't thought about in

747
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: a really long time. Just those sounds of like sending messages,

748
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: adding people, blocking people, sending an away message.

749
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: That brought back a lot of memories.

750
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I got an AOL account,

751
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: I was Alkaline Punk thirteen. Because my favorite band growing

752
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: up was Alkaline Trio. I was like, yeah, let's throw

753
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: punkin there. Cool number thirteen. I just remember getting on

754
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: their messaging people. How much of a thrill that was.

755
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: I could crush hours on a dial up connection on AOL.

756
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: That was very much a very two thousand and eight experience.

757
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: This movie is right under ninety minutes, so if you're

758
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: somebody who likes a shorter movie, this is perfect for you.

759
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: At the very start of.

760
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: This movie, I thought it was just gonna be kind

761
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: of a coming of age story that I'd already seen before.

762
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: But once you really get into it, you start seeing

763
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: the dynamic he has with his sister, with his family,

764
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: and the fact that a lot happens to DDI in

765
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: this life last summer before high school. By that third act,

766
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: you are all in invested emotionally and you want to

767
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: see more of his story, And by the time it

768
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: was over, I was like, oh man, I gotta know

769
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: what happens in high school. So this movie only gets

770
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: better as it goes along. I easily give it four

771
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 1: out of five friend requests. I think if I put

772
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: in my bias of being a first generation Mexican American

773
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: and identifying with what DD goes through, I'd probably put

774
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: in a point five bias, But I feel good at

775
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: giving it a four out of five. That is a

776
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: strong four out of five, And I would also put

777
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: this in my top five coming of age movies in

778
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: the last ten years.

779
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed this movie.

780
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a movie that I

781
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: keep revisiting, especially once it hits streaming. So if you're

782
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: looking for some coming of age movies, definitely check out DD.

783
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie Mike Traylor Paul him.

784
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: At the challow May trying to win his first oscar.

785
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: After watching the trailer to the New Bob Dylan Biopick

786
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: called a complete unknown.

787
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: That is how I'm feeling.

788
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: There are a lot of recipes on not recipes, a

789
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of ingredients to this recipe inside of this trailer

790
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: that are all the makings of what I believe is

791
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: what we.

792
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: Would call Oscar bait. And it's all right.

793
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: Rommi Mallick did it back in twenty nineteen, playing Freddie

794
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody got his first Academy Award. Timothy

795
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Shallo mag still a young actor, but I feel the

796
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: reason you take on a role like this with a

797
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: movie coming out in December, with a director who also.

798
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 2: Did walk the line Ford V.

799
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Ferrari, very familiar with the biopic genre, that to me

800
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: is saying that Timothy shallow May wants to win an

801
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Oscar and while watching this trailer, I don't feel it

802
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: so far.

803
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: I feel like.

804
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: All the statistics that go along with this movie, cast

805
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: of characters, the director, those make me think this is

806
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: going for being nominated for Best Picture, him being nominated

807
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: for Best Actor. But just by the look of it, ooh,

808
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: I'm not buying into it just yet, because when he

809
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: is in the sunglasses on a stage with the guitar

810
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: and the clode, you could convince me that it looks

811
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: like Bob Dylan. However, in the moments in this trailer

812
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: when he's not wearing sunglasses, I can't help but see

813
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: Willy Wanka in there, which leads me to believe that

814
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: it is so important what roles actors take on when

815
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: because really, for me, even more so than Dune Part two,

816
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm starting to associate him with Willy Wonka, which he

817
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: did very well also singing that movie. In this biopic,

818
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: it is him singing these Bob Dylan songs. I'm sure

819
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: he worked with a vocal coach, and I don't think

820
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: it's that big of a stretch for him because he

821
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: grew up in musical theater. You can go watch videos

822
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: of him on YouTube. Belting is little hard out singing

823
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: these songs, so it's not unusual for an actor at

824
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: this level to take on the actual singing. I'm sure

825
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: probably like they did with Bohemian Rhapsody, they bring somebody

826
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: in to patch things in. So maybe it's not him

827
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time, maybe eighty percent of

828
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: the time. So I feel like for those reasons, you

829
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: have all the ingredients here of somebody baking up a

830
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: cake to win a Best Oscar, not even just to

831
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: get nominated. I think he is trying to win and

832
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: I will call it just by after watching this trailer

833
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: that he will get a nomination. I won't say anything

834
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: until I actually see the movie, but I don't have

835
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: any reason to deny that this movie is going to

836
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: be not good.

837
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: Just with my.

838
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: Experience with biopics, I always feel like they are a

839
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: little bit rushed. I don't love it when they come

840
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: out when the person being portrayed is still alive, because

841
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: I feel that that person could have a lot of

842
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: influence on the movie. I don't think that is the

843
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: case here. It was the case with the Queen movie.

844
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: Although Freddie Mercury wasn't alive, the guys from the band

845
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: was still alive and they were trying to have so

846
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: much input in that movie. Sasha Bara Cohen, who was Borat,

847
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: was initially supposed to play Freddy Mercury, and he dropped

848
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: out because the band wanted him to die halfway through

849
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: the movie, and the rest of that film to be

850
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: about how they recovered after the loss of Freddy Mercury

851
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: would have been a terrible movie. So oftentimes you have

852
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: the estate or maybe a daughter some relative kind of

853
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: calling some of the shots on how they depict the story.

854
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: That is why I don't like it when the person

855
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: is still alive for that reason, and I also just

856
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: believe it is so hard to take somebody's entire life

857
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: story who is so impactful on a genre, on a movement,

858
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: which is especially what Bob Dylan was with the protest

859
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: songs in the sixties, and put it all into a

860
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: two to two and a half hour movie.

861
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: It is really tough to do.

862
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like the task is so hard to

863
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: be taken on that you're setting yourself up for disaster,

864
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: for disappointment. For me, just not enjoying it. Not that

865
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't like music. I'm a huge fan of everybody

866
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,479
Speaker 1: loves music. Saying you don't like music is like saying

867
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: you don't like to breathe. Music in movies, for the

868
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: most part, go hand in hand. But I just don't

869
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: go into a biopic thinking, ah, this is gonna be

870
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: the one where they truly get it. But before I

871
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: get into more of my thoughts, we'll look at the

872
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: impressive filmography of the director, James Mangold. This movie doesn't

873
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: have an official release date yet, it's just coming out

874
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: in December. I would assume maybe they queue it up

875
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: a little bit before the Christmas run, because we have

876
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: some heavy hitters coming out in December, so maybe that's

877
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: when they decide to put out this movie right in

878
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: time for Oscar season. But here's just a little bit

879
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: of the trailer of a Complete Unknown.

880
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: I want to tell you a little story.

881
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 5: A few months back, my friend Woody Guthrie and I

882
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 5: we met a young man. He dropped in on us

883
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 5: out of nowhere, and he played us a song. In

884
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 5: that moment, we got a feeling. We were definite a glimpse.

885
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 2: So the future. That's all I got so far. Good start.

886
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: So the movie is set in New York nineteen sixties.

887
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: You have a nineteen year old Bob Dylan from Minnesota.

888
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: He arrives in the West Village. Looks like he is discovered.

889
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: In that trailer, you heard the one and only Edward Norton,

890
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,479
Speaker 1: who is a great actor. He is playing fellow folk

891
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: singer Pete Seeger. You also have El Fanning in this

892
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: movie playing Sylvia Russo, who was inspired by Bob Dylan's

893
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: real life ex girlfriend, Susie Rotolo. If you are familiar

894
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: with this album The Free Wheeland, which has a very

895
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: iconic cover, she is the one featured in that picture.

896
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: You also have Boyd Holbrook, who I just saw in

897
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: The Bike Riders playing Johnny Cash, so pretty decent cast here.

898
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: I would say Timothy Shallow may probably getting paid the

899
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: majority of the money. He is in that place of

900
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: his career where he can take on any role, and

901
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: I have to imagine this is a pretty iconic role

902
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: for him as as if this movie is successful, this

903
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: could be a movie that people associate with him throughout

904
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: the rest of his career, because for me, I keep

905
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: thinking of him as Willy Wonka, as I was mentioning earlier.

906
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: I still don't feel like the Dune franchise has really

907
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: attached itself to him. I think it's just hard for

908
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: me to differentiate the goofy guy that he is on

909
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: SNEL and also see him as this very serious actor,

910
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: even though that's really where he got to start early on.

911
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's once you start taking on those

912
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: big blockbusters that more and more people are seeing. Those

913
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: are the ones that people are really going to start

914
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: associating you with. So this movie is successful, if he

915
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: gets nominated or if he ends up winning for Best Actor,

916
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: this could be a real career defining movie.

917
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: For him.

918
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: The movie is directed by James Mangold, who most recent

919
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: film includes Indiana Jones and The Dialogue Destiny, which I

920
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: actually believe was a pretty good movie that the box

921
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: office did a little dirty, primarily because nobody really asked

922
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: for the continuation and the finale of Indiana Jones. But

923
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: if you have Disney Plus and haven't seen it yet

924
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: looking for something to watch over a weekend, and you're

925
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: a fan of Harrison Ford and maybe you'll like the

926
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: early on Indiana Jones movies. I still think it is

927
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: a fun time. It just came out at a really

928
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: weird kind of cross pass between a lot of good

929
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: summer movies. Last year, James Mangold also did Four to

930
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: Be Ferrari, fantastic movie, but I mean anything with Matt

931
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: Damon and Christian Vale is going to be great. My

932
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: favorite credit of his is he directed Logan with Hugh Jackman,

933
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: what I believe is a top five comic book movie

934
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: of all time. He also did The Wolverine and before

935
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: that did Walk the Line, one of the best music

936
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: bio picks of all time, easily top three for me,

937
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: and I think if it wasn't for the fact that

938
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: at Mexican and La Bamba and Selina will always outrank

939
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: everything on my list. It would probably be number one,

940
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: but it would go La Bamba Selena and then Walk

941
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: the Line because I love that movie so much. And

942
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: if you look at a movie like Walk the Line

943
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: with Joaquin Phoenix, who also did a lot of the

944
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: singing in that movie, and see how well James Mangole

945
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: told Johnny Cash's story in that, I think if he

946
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,959
Speaker 1: can take that same formula and adapt it to Bob

947
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: Dylan's life, then this is going to be a home

948
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: run hit. The thing is, I don't really know a

949
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: whole lot about all of the hardships and just career

950
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: ups and downs that Bob Dylan went through. When you

951
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: look at Johnny Cash and Walk the Line, dude had

952
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of demons starting out from his childhood, his

953
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: battle with drugs, leaven his wife, all the pills, the

954
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: music playing in prisons. There are so many just polarizing

955
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: things about Johnny Cash's career. After watching a complete Unknowns trailer,

956
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what the means of this story is

957
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: going to be. So I'm wondering what the meat of

958
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: this story is going to be. By the description of

959
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: the movie, it says it'll focus on his early rise

960
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: to fame, his infamous performance at the Newport Folk Festival,

961
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: and the aftermath of that. But it is based on

962
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen book Dylan Goes Electric, which is about

963
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: the controversy surrounding the switch to electrically amplified instrumentation by

964
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan. If I had to list my top three

965
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan songs of all time, you might want to

966
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: get out the basic B meter because I'm not too

967
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: familiar with his music. I honestly know it primarily from

968
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: watching movies. I can tell anytime it is his voice

969
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: on a movie soundtrack. I was also in high school

970
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: in an indie band where I played drums and my

971
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: friend and lead singer and songwriter in that band, we

972
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: were called Lynn Haven. We were mildly popular in high school.

973
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: But he was so almost like a Bob Dylan Stan

974
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: heavy inspiration on his Songwride, his singing style, he had

975
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: the harmonica and everything, so from him. I was exposed

976
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: to some of Bob Dylan's music, but it really hasn't

977
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: been until I think it was I was rewatching The

978
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,919
Speaker 1: Watchmen and I heard a Bob Dylan song in that

979
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: that maybe want to go listen to some of his music.

980
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: This was just a few months ago, So my top

981
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: three Bob Dylan songs would be at number three, blowing

982
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: in the Wind. I know these are also basically his

983
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: biggest hits that he's ever had. At number two would

984
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: be Like a Rolling Stone, and at number one would

985
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: be The Times They are a change in which if

986
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: you go watch The Watchman, which is Zack Snyder's best

987
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: movie and the only reason he really continues to make

988
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: movies is because everybody remembers The Watchmen in probably three

989
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: hundred but at the start of that movie, in the

990
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: opening credits, they're showing all of this protest footage and

991
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: how the Watchmen superheroes were connected to that, and they

992
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: were playing that song over the top of it, and

993
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really great use of music

994
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: and opening credits, something that doesn't really happen a whole

995
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: lot anymore. So I think his music is just associated

996
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: with that kind of imagery, maybe even been overused just

997
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. So again I'm hesitant about this because

998
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: biopics have never been my favorite. It is hard for

999
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: me to see Timothy Chalomey and a more serious role

1000
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: right now, and that's probably unfair, but I still like

1001
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: him as an actor, I like him as a person,

1002
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: and I'm a pretty big fan of James Mangold again.

1003
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: That movie is coming out this December.

1004
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 3: Jeez.

1005
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 4: And that was this week's edition of movie Line Tramer

1006
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 4: Bar and.

Speaker 1: That is gonna do it for another episode here of

Speaker 1: the podcast. But before I go, I gotta give my

1021
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: to Facebook and it goes to Ashley B who wrote

1022
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: Kelsey the Simpsons is the absolute worst ride from motion sickness.

1023
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know now lol. So thank you, actually

1024
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: B for validating Kelsey and what we were talking about

1025
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: last week of how I drug her to California to

1026
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: get on the Simpsons ride even though she didn't want to,

1027
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: and it was in that moment and also us taking

1028
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: a picture with Bart and Lisa at least two people

1029
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: dressed as Bart Lisa in big costumes that.

1030
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: I realized, Oh, this girl is the one.

1031
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 1: She's down for Simpsons, which is one of my favorite

1032
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: shows of all time. That means she can now enter

1033
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: my life and I knew she was the one. So

1034
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,680
