I 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: want to talk about movies celebrating birthdays this year, movies 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: turning ten, twenty, and thirty years old in twenty twenty two. 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: We'll get into what movies crushed it at the box office, 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: what movies too come Best Picture, and also what movies 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: too come Worst Picture at the Razzies of each year. 33 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: But most importantly, if I can only take one movie 34 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: from each of these years, I'll pick which one that 35 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: is and which ones would be the only one I 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: could watch forever. So let's start back at movies turning 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: thirty years old this year. These are all movies that 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: came out in nineteen ninety two. Before we get into 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: the biggest ten movies at the box office this year, 40 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: let's just talk about the landscape of nineteen ninety two. 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: I would have been turning one year old this year, 42 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: so at this point in my life I had probably 43 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: not seen any movie yet. If I had, I was 44 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: a baby and didn't know what was going on in 45 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: pop culture. Of the biggest thing you would hear in 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: music dominating the radio ways would be Nirvana and everything else. 47 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: When it comes to technology was in its very early stages. 48 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety two, there were about twenty six websites, 49 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: so really the Internet wasn't a thing yet. So when 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: it came to watching movies, streaming was so far away. 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: We were still in the VHS days, going to the 52 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: movie days. This was even long before DVDs, and I 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: think the movies that came out during this year are 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: a big reflection of that. These are the highest grossing 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: movies in the United States according to Box Office Mojo 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two. At number ten is under Siege 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: with eighty three million. At number nine is The Hand 58 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: that Rocks the Cradle, bringing in eighty eight million dollars. 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: At number eight is Aladdin bringing in ninety nine million dollars. 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: At number seven is a League of their own, which 61 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: made one hundred and seven million at number six is 62 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: Basic in Steak, bringing in one hundred and seventeen million, 63 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: and then we'll get into the top five, which are 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: the ones I want to break down a little bit more. 65 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: At number five, bringing in one hundred and twenty million, 66 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: is Wayne's World. And What's all? These movies are obviously 67 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: not ones that I watched the year they came out, 68 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: because again I was one year old, But this is 69 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: a movie I probably watched years later, maybe I was 70 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: six or seven years old, And Wayne's World was never 71 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: really a comedy that I really got into or identified 72 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: with or found even all that funny. I like the 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: characters themselves, Wayne and Garths more than I actually like 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: the entire idea of the movie. So when it comes 75 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: to Wayne World, I probably enjoy the SNL sketches and 76 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: watching those back more than I would sitting down to 77 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: watch this movie. But I would say, of all the 78 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: sketches that got turned into movies from SNL, it's probably 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: the most successful and the most beloved, and I get 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: it and can see why, but I just don't think 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Wayne's World will ever be one of my favorites. At 82 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: number four is Home Alone two Lost in New York, 83 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: which made one hundred and thirty six million dollars back 84 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two, which was a lot of money, 85 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: and I was greatly due to the success of the original, 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: which came out just two years before this one. I 87 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: rewatched Home Alone two over the holiday break, and I 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: gotta say that movie is way too long. The first one, 89 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: Home Alone is a quick hour and forty three minutes, 90 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 1: but they really went for making a longer movie about 91 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, with Home Alone two coming in 92 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: at two hours, and it feels like two hours. And 93 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: while I think Home Alone is one of the best 94 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: Christmas movies ever made, Home Alone two it lacks the 95 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: original sentiment of the first movie, the original warmth of 96 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: the first movie, and taking Kevin out of his home 97 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: and putting him on the streets in New York feels 98 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: less like a good Christmas movie and more like a 99 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: cash grab. So I could actually go without ever seeing 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Home Alone two again. Right above that one at number 101 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: three is Sister Act, which made one hundred and thirty 102 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: nine million dollars in nineteen ninety two. When I posted 103 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: this on Twitter and Facebook, there were a lot of 104 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: big Sister Act fans and what I'm seeing in this 105 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: top five is a lot of comedy, which was I 106 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: feel like a lot more prevalent in the nineties, and 107 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: a movie with Whoopie Goldberg as the lead. I don't 108 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: think it gets any more nineties than this one. I 109 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: was surprised though, to see if this one make more 110 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: money than Wayne's World in this year. I feel like 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Wayne's World is a movie people talk about more as 112 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: being one of their favorite comedies. But if you want 113 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: to go back and rewatch that one, rewatch Sister Act. 114 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: It's actually available on Disney Plus. So that's at number three. 115 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: At number two is one I'm surprised by. A movie 116 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: that brought in one hundred and forty four million dollars 117 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two is Lethal Weapon. Three. Lethal Weapon 118 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: was a very successful action buddy cop movie. The original 119 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: one came out at nineteen eighty seven, and they went 120 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: on to release two, three, and four all in the 121 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: nineties and are possibly working on another one now. When 122 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: it came to who I wanted as my action star 123 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: in the nineties, I never really thought of Mel Gibson 124 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: being that person. My mind tends to go to actors 125 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: more like Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, 126 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: or even Will Smith. I would even take John Claude 127 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: Van Damn over Mel Gibson. But I think the one 128 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: thing you can't deny is Mel Gibson as an A 129 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: list actor who sells tickets, especially in the nineties. So 130 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: number two is Lethal Weapon three. But at number one, 131 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: the highest grossing movie of nineteen ninety two was Batman 132 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: Returns bring in one hundred and sixty one million dollars, 133 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: and when it comes to Batman movies, for a long time, 134 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: this was my favorite Batman movie, and if it wouldn't 135 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: have been for Christopher Nolan and The Dark Night, this 136 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: would remain my favorite Batman movie. I thought it had 137 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: the best villains with Penguin Catwoman. So those are the 138 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: top highest grossing movies of this year. When it comes 139 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: to the Oscars, best picture was Silence of the Lambs. 140 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: The worst movie, which was voted on by the Razzies 141 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: was a movie called Shining Through. It was a World 142 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: War two drama starring Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith. Big 143 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: box office bomb, but not only that, critics hated it, 144 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: so it was the worst movie of the year. Voted 145 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: on by the Razzies. But some other movies to note 146 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: that came out in nineteen ninety two. I feel like 147 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two was VHS heaven. You had movies like 148 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: Three Ninja's Mighty Ducks, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: in Beethoven. These were all movies I just remembered throwing 150 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: in a VHS tape, hearing the warm fuzz of it 151 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: coming on, pressing that play button, and watching these movies. 152 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: There were also just some big dramas like Malcolm X, 153 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: the Bodyguard, American Me, A Few Good Men, and a 154 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino classic with Reservoir Dogs coming out this year. 155 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: And then you also had movies like Encino Man, My 156 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: Girl of Mice and Man Candy Man, Pure Country, and 157 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: a leigue of their own. So what it comes down to, 158 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: if I could only take one movie from nineteen ninety two, 159 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: I would have to say, because it was my favorite 160 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: Batman movie for a long time, it would be Batman Returns. 161 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: I feel like that movie still holds up. You almost 162 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: could watch it now and not even realize it was 163 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: made in the nineties. But if I was able to 164 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: make it a double feature, I would definitely take a 165 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: league of their own with me as well. So overall, 166 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: a pretty good year there in nineteen ninety two, and 167 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: now we'll move on to movies. Turning twenty years old 168 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: this year. Back in two thousand and two, I was 169 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: turning eleven years old, going from fifth grade to sixth grade. 170 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I had a DVD player by this point. 171 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: They became a little bit more popular in the two thousands, 172 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: and then right around O one and O two they 173 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: became more affordable to the point to where I could 174 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: get one. And I don't think we realized how much 175 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: DVDs changed how we watched movies at home. Before that 176 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: we were talking about in the nineties it was all 177 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: VHS tapes, But once the DVD player came around, I 178 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: think the thing we were most kind of mind blown 179 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: about was not having to rewind anymore or find the 180 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: play so you left off in a movie. You could 181 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: throw a DVD in either just skip scenes like that. 182 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: Just the chapter feature was groundbreaking to us. And then 183 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: I think the special features is what I love the most, 184 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: watching the behind the scenes, watching things with commentary. That 185 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: was groundbreaking when it came to DVDs, they were a 186 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: little bit more expensive, but man, was it worth it. 187 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: I think the hardest thing for me when buying DVDs 188 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: back into two thousands was deciding on which aspect ratio 189 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: to you could buy, because I remember you could buy 190 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: them in full screen version or in wide screen version, 191 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: and for some reason I was very into full screen, 192 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: and I think in the two thousands, right when I 193 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: got a DVD player, we stopped buying VHS's, bought everything 194 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: on DVD, but would only go back and watch our 195 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: old movies on VHS tape. So if you ever had 196 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: a VHS DBD combo, you know, you probably grew up 197 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: in the nineties and the two thousands. And if you 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: turn it on the radio in two thousand and two, 199 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: you probably heard this song, Yeah how You Remind Me 200 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: by Nickelback. But let's get into the biggest movies of 201 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: the year. At number ten bringing in one hundred and 202 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: fifty four million dollars, was a Beautiful Mind, a movie 203 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: that not only gained so much critical acclaim, but also 204 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: performed really well at the box office, bringing in that 205 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: amount of money. A movie that blew my mind the 206 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: first time I watched it. It's very rare. You see 207 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: a movie do that well at the box office and 208 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: also win a bunch of awards. A lot of the 209 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: times the movies that get nominated for the fancy awards 210 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: don't really do so well. Sometimes they make like a 211 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: million bucks, two million bucks, but this one bringing in 212 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four million dollars back in two 213 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: thousand and two. At number nine is ice Age bringing 214 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: in one hundred and seventy six million dollars. Talking about 215 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: DVDs just a second ago, I think this is a 216 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: DVD that was I don't know, maybe required by law 217 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: for every school to buy. But it felt like almost 218 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: any time we had a movie day in school and 219 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: they rolled out the TV cart with the DVD player, 220 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: now we would watch ice Age. At number eight was 221 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: Men in Black two, bringing in one hundred and ninety 222 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. At number seven was Austin Power's Gold Member 223 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: making two hundred and twelve million dollars. At number six 224 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: was Lord of the Rings the Two Towers, bringing in 225 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen million dollars. And then we get 226 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: to the top five. At number five was My Big 227 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: Fat Greek Wedding, bringing in two hundred and twenty three 228 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: million dollars. Again, another surprise here is a rom com 229 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: bringing in that amount of money. I feel like the 230 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: late nineties, early and mid two thousands were really like 231 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: the prime spot for romantic comedies, the days of Hugh 232 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: Grant and Matthew McConaughey. I feel like we're in full 233 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: force in this time. Neither of them are in this movie, 234 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: but just saying, I feel like a lot of people's 235 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: favorite romantic comedies came out during this time, and the 236 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: box office reflects that at number four, bringing in two 237 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven million dollars. As signs, I felt like, 238 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: more so than the movies that made more than this 239 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: on this list, this is the movie that people talked 240 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: about the most. And I think it was because m 241 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: Night Shamalan, of course, always has the twist at the end, 242 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: and there's just something about movies like this that people 243 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: just want to share an experience together and then go 244 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: on to talk about. And I felt like because it 245 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: was about aliens and crop circles, and we're always curious about, oh, 246 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: do you believe in aliens and you think they're real? 247 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: And this one really kind of put that into perspective 248 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: of what it would look like if they did make 249 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: contact with Earth. And not only that, it had a 250 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: scene that I think collectively we all had that jump 251 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: scare moment while watching this movie and probably my favorite 252 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: m Night Shamalan movie. I was also saying earlier, don't 253 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: really like mel Gibson in his action roles, but when 254 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: it comes to his dramatic roles, I liked them. In 255 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: Signs at number three, bringing in two hundred and forty 256 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: three million dollars this year. In two thousand and two 257 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a great sequel, 258 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: a movie that was able to capture the same feeling 259 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: of the first one and really set the tone for 260 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the franchise, to the point at which 261 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: each movie had its own identity. In a movie that 262 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: people camped out to buy tickets, it was all over 263 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: the news at the thing that really doesn't happen anymore, 264 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: because I know Friday is still like the main release 265 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: day for movies, but now you can catch a mattinee 266 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: on the Thursday before they come out. You don't have 267 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: people waiting in line for tickets. But back when Harry 268 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Potter movies were coming out, it was an event to 269 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: be had. The only thing we've seen in recent history 270 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: was the last Spider Man movie, but even that isn't 271 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: compared to what a midnight release was for a movie 272 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: like Harry Potter. At number two, bringing in three hundred 273 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: and two million dollars, was Star Wars Episode two, Attack 274 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: of the Clones. The Star Wars movies that I just 275 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: kind of forget about. I remember all the promotion around them, 276 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: but I feel like if you took away episode one, 277 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: two and three, it wouldn't really matter. But at number 278 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: one and number one with Ease bringing in four hundred 279 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: and three million dollars this year was Spider Man. Do 280 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: I need to go on why this movie was great? 281 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: And then taking home Best Picture in two thousand and 282 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: two was a Beautiful Mind. Like I was saying earlier, 283 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: it's rare for a movie to bring in that amount 284 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: of money and also win an Oscar for Best Picture. 285 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: Worst movie was a movie called swept Away, which is 286 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: a remake with Madonna that took home the Razzie Award 287 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: that year for Worst Movie. Other movies of note that 288 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: came out in two thousand and two, my personal favorite 289 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Disney movie, Lee Loo and Stitch Catch Me if you Can, 290 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: The Born Identity, Sweet Home Alabama, Scooby Doo, Mister Deed's 291 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: Eight Mile, The Rookie Jackass, the Movie, and one of 292 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: my favorite low budget movies called Spun. It was also 293 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: a pretty big year for what I would describe as 294 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: college movies, with movies like Orange County, Van Wilder, and 295 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: Stealing Harvard come out, and I think that was a 296 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: lot due to the success of movies like American Pie 297 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: Road Trip. Everybody was looking for that next big comedic hit, 298 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: and everybody was focused on college kids trying to hook up. Now, 299 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: if I could only take one movie from two thousand 300 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: into this is a tough one because with Spider Man 301 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: being my favorite superhero and the original being one of 302 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: my favorite not just Spider Man movies, but one of 303 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: my favorite movies of all time. It's also the year 304 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: that one of my favorite Disney movies came out of 305 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: all time. And I think I would have to take 306 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Lelo and Stitch from two thousand and two because I 307 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: would still have all the other Spider Man movies. When 308 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: I think about it, it doesn't take away two or three, 309 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: or The Amazing Spider Man or another Tom Holland Spider Man, 310 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: so I could get my fix in other ways. Yes, 311 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: I would lose out on a very big, instrumental piece 312 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: of not being able to watch that original Spider Man. 313 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: But I think when it comes to a movie that 314 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: I would sit down and rewatch more and kind of 315 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: get that same feeling as I was when I watched 316 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: it as a kid. I think I would have to 317 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: take Lelo and Stitch because I just feel like no 318 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: other Disney movie could replace that for me. Not The 319 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Lion King, not even a Pixar movie like Toy Story. 320 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Like there's only a feeling I get from Lelo and 321 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Stitch that nothing else could recreate that. So I would 322 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: take Lelo and Stitch with me. So that is two 323 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: thousand in two. Moving on now to movies turning ten 324 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: years old this year, and these are all movies that 325 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: came out in twenty twelve. I think this is where 326 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: it gets interesting, because in my mind, I don't imagine 327 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: twenty twelve being ten years ago. I was twenty one 328 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: years old, I was still in college. I had started 329 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: working at the radio station in Austin. I had just 330 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: come off of being an intern for the Bobby Bone Show, 331 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: and Bobby helped me get a job there working as 332 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: a board operator, so I kind of shifted this year 333 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: from going for being an inn. Doing that job, I 334 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: would on occasion when their executive producer was out go 335 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: fill in for them. So that's kind of where I 336 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: was in my life. My movie obsession was full on 337 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: by now. I would go to the theater probably still 338 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: once a week, maybe once every two weeks. But I 339 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: think where my obsession was a little bit more was 340 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: watching everything on Netflix, but also going and renting things 341 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: at the red box, which was a lot more prevalent. 342 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: Then I could walk to a seven to eleven, go 343 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: rent a movie for a dollar, go home and watch it, 344 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: and then go back and get another movie for a dollar. 345 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: And setting the stage in two thousand and two, outside 346 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: of movies, if you were to go in turn on 347 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: the radio, you probably could not escape this song by Godier. 348 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: So looking at the biggest movies to come out in 349 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: twenty twelve at number ten was Madagascar three bringing in 350 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen million dollars at number nine, with 351 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: one of my favorite comedies bringing in two hundred and 352 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars, It is Ted, starring Mark Wallberg and 353 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: Seth McFarlane as the voice of Ted, which is basically 354 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: just a little bit skewed version of Peter Griffin, which 355 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: he also does the voice of. Actually was watching this 356 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: movie the other day. Very ridiculous, very dumb, but still 357 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: very funny to me. At number eight was The Hobbit, 358 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: bringing in two hundred and twenty eight million dollars. At 359 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: number seven is a lot of people's favorite Disney movie 360 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: of the last ten years. It is Brave, which made 361 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty seven million dollars, and number six 362 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: is The Amazing Spider Man, bringing in two hundred and 363 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: sixty two million dollars. Rounding out the top five, The 364 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: Twilight Saga Breaking Down Part Two comes in and number four, 365 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: making two hundred and eighty six million dollars. I only 366 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: watched the first one in theaters, and that was before 367 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: there was any hype really built around it. I remember 368 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: it was like maybe the second week it came out, 369 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: and my sister wanted to go watch it, so she, 370 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: my brother, and I all went to go watch Twilight. 371 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was all right, and then just a 372 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: couple of weeks later it was full on Twilight fandom. 373 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: I myself never really got into the movies, never read 374 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: the books. But there's even now kind of a Twilight 375 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: resurgence with the movies being on Netflix. Now, I feel 376 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: like we're maybe ten fifteen years away before those movies 377 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: get remade. Like if there's any book franchise that starts 378 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: to get its remake, whether it be like Hunger Games, 379 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: Harry Potter, I think Twilight kind of is the one 380 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: would be the one to do it. At Number four 381 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: is Skyfall, which made two hundred and ninety million dollars. 382 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: I feel like that James Bond movies are kind of 383 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: like the Ncis of movies, Like, who was watching these 384 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: movies and loving them? I get it if you're listening 385 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: to this now. I think I'm completely ridiculous by saying 386 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: that I have just never met anybody who loves the 387 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: James Bond movies, but every time they come out they 388 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. Who was watching James Bond? 389 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: Who loves James Bond? I feel like it's kind of 390 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: people who only come out once every four years to 391 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: watch a movie and it's James Bond. More power to 392 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: you if you love James Bond. I just never really 393 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: understood it at number three is the book series and 394 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: movies I actually really got into bringing in four hundred 395 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: and eight million dollars was the Hunger Games. And I 396 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: felt like the Hunger Games hit me a little bit 397 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: different than Harry Potter. I was never fully obsessed with 398 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter books. Maybe I'm weird and saying that 399 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: I actually loved the movies more than the books, But 400 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: when it came to Hunger Games, I really loved the 401 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: description in those books more than I did the movies. 402 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: I almost didn't really enjoy the first one so much 403 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: because I was such a big fan of the book. 404 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: I was kind of one of these people saying that 405 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: the book was better than the movie just because the 406 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: book was so much more descriptive on the actual hunger 407 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: in the Hunger Games that was completely taken out of 408 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: the movie. And the whole reason Catnists volunteering herself so 409 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: her sister didn't have to go be a part of 410 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: the Hunger Games was really because of how much their 411 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: families struggled just to eat, and how in the book 412 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: she's just described as being this frail but smart character. 413 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: A lot of that kind of doesn't even appear in 414 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: the movie, they just get into the actual Hunger Games. 415 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: I still enjoyed seeing it in theaters. I felt like 416 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: it was just very abrupt, a very abbreviated version of 417 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: the movie. But I would go on to probably like 418 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: Catching Fire more. And then at number two was The 419 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: Dark Knight Rises, bringing in four hundred and forty eight 420 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: million dollars in twenty twelve, an underrated one. I feel 421 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: in the Dark Knight franchise. Actually watched this movie in 422 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: Imax and felt like Christopher Nolan really went in on 423 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: exploring every bit of the screen. I loved the opening 424 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: scene in this movie, and I really loved Baine as 425 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: a villain in this and how I felt when I 426 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: watched The Dark Knight Rises, it's I almost liked Baine 427 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: more as a just straight on villain that I did Joker. 428 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: Joker was a great character, but I felt like he 429 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: was almost bigger than Batman in that movie. I almost 430 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: didn't really see him as like a driving force, as 431 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: a real threat. Then I just liked him watching Greek Havoc, 432 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: But when it came to The Dark Knight Rises, I 433 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: love the battle between Bain and the feeling that Batman 434 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: could just not defeat him Bain just pretty much taking 435 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: him to shreds, getting him at his very lowest. I 436 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: just thought that was very powerful, but I didn't love 437 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the ending, and I feel like that's what's held a 438 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: lot against the Dark Knight Rises is the ending kind 439 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: of lends a little bit lackluster. And then at number one, 440 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: bringing in a whole lot more than number two at 441 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty three million dollars, was the Avengers? Crazy? 442 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: To think that The Avengers came out ten years ago 443 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: and all the marble madness we've had in between, the 444 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: Avengers just really changed the game on what a movie 445 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: could be. And I think so many kind of of 446 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: franchises have tried to mimic that with Justice League the 447 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: Suicide Squad and have just not been able to replicate 448 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: it ever. Again. The other thing I kind of find 449 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: looking at these three years, twenty twelve, twenty two, in 450 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, at the number one spot on every 451 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: single year is a superhero comic book movie. And I 452 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: know people, and I know people tend to criticize that 453 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: there are so many superhero movies now. I know there 454 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: are more of them now, but it's not like it's 455 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: a new concept. I think there're movies that we've loved 456 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: forever and will continue to love forever, and just prove 457 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: to be movies that will actually get us to go 458 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: to a theater to watch. Looking at the Big Awards 459 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: this year, the movie that took home Best Picture at 460 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: the Oscars was The Artist. The movie that the Razzies 461 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: voted as the worst movie was The Twilight Saga, Breaking 462 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: Dawn Part two, an easy movie to pick apart. Some 463 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: other big movies that came out in twenty twelve were 464 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: Wreck at Ralph twenty one, Jump Street, Argo, which is 465 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: one of my favorite dramas of being a wallflower, Men 466 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: in Black three, which I think was the worst movie 467 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: of twenty twelve, of my least enjoyed theater experience of 468 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: that year. You also have a Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper 469 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: classic with silver linings, Playbook, Looper, and Chronicle. If I 470 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: could only take one movie from twenty twelve again, it's 471 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: hard enough to take that number one. The number one 472 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: is always just the best, with the Avengers and that 473 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: being such an instrumental part of all the Marvel movies. 474 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight Rises makes a pretty good case. But 475 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: the Hunger Games would be tough not to watch ever again. 476 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: But you really can't rule out a compilation of all 477 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the best superheroes with one of the best villains. I'd 478 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: hate to sound basic, but I'm going with the number 479 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: one of the year at the Avengers. So that's it. 480 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: That's a look at nineteen ninety two, two thousand and two, 481 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: and twenty twelve. Hope you enjoyed that look through history. 482 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: Coming up, I'll get into my spoiler free review of 483 00:23:52,760 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: Encanto after this. Gonna get into a spoiler free movie 484 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: review now actually coming to us by listener requests. This 485 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: is from Cara Cathleen on Instagram, who messaged me asking 486 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: when I was going to review this movie. I wanted 487 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: to wait till it came out on a Disney Plus 488 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: and more people had the chance to watch it. And 489 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: I also think with the release of it on Disney Plus, 490 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: the soundtrack has had such great success in the last 491 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: just week, breaking in some crazy records that we'll get into. 492 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: But before we get into it, here's just a little 493 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: bit of the trailer of Encanto from Disney. I'm not 494 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: super strong like Louisa the Dolts, drunk out of your 495 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: corning or effortlessly perfect, like, but Mama, why am I 496 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: the only one that didn't get a gift? You're just 497 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: as special as anyone else in this family. You just 498 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: heeled my hand with an ad So what this movie 499 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: is about. It's a family with a bunch of magical powers. 500 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: They live in the mountains in this town in Colombia, 501 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: and they all live under one roof. Not only do 502 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: they all have magical powers, but the house itself does 503 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a character of its own. The 504 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 1: story follows the main character named Mirabelle, who is the 505 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: only member of the family not to have her own powers. 506 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: So what happens is the family always has this big celebration, 507 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: this big reveal of one of the kids discovering what 508 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: their power is, what their gift is, and why all 509 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: her brothers and sisters have these amazing things they can do, 510 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: whether it be like her sister Luisa, who is very 511 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: strong and can move buildings. One of her other sisters 512 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: can control the weather, another can make all these beautiful 513 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: flowers grow, another one can shape shift and become any 514 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: other person, and one can heal people through food. She 515 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: is struggling because she never had anything and doesn't feel 516 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: as special. But where the struggle comes in is now 517 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the house seems to be in danger and the magic 518 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: surrounding their home seems to be fading away, and she 519 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: has to find a way to save it. Basically, what 520 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: this movie is about, the entire family kind of controls 521 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: everything going on around the town. But what I kind 522 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: of take away from it is all the members of 523 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: the family kind of represent somebody that maybe you know 524 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: in your life, and their power is greatly associated with that. 525 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: Her sister, who is strong it is kind of the 526 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: one who carries the entire family, and the entire weight 527 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: of everybody's problems literally falls on her shoulders in this movie. 528 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: The other sister who can control the weather is maybe 529 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: somebody in your life who their moods can quickly change 530 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: and you know it. And then you have the grandmother 531 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: in the movie who is the one kind of overbearing 532 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: of everything and making sure everything remains exactly how it is. 533 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: So I like this movie, but I think there are 534 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: a few things that kept me from loving it. I 535 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: thought the premise was great, and like the first thirty 536 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: minutes of this movie, I was really into it. I 537 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: love the idea of Midabel, you know, struggling that she 538 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: didn't have something that makes her different from all her siblings, 539 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: didn't have that one unique characteristic, And when it came 540 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: to people kind of inadvertently taking digs at her because 541 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: she never found her power, she dealt with that. I 542 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: really felt like it was going to go on a 543 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: little bit more of an emotional journey for her that 544 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: I just never felt like it really quite got there. 545 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: When it came to the animation in this movie, I 546 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: think it's some of the best that Disney has ever done. 547 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: There were very small details when it came to these 548 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: characters from the hair, like you could literally see like 549 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: the hair on their arms, and different expressions really come 550 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: to life in this and I think that's where Disney 551 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: really kind of shined in this movie. But I felt 552 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: like while the premise was so strong in the beginning, 553 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: over the course of the entire movie, I felt like 554 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: the movie became a little bit average. And I think 555 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: that's greatly due to it being a musical and then 556 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: bursting into song. Again. I'm not the biggest hinto musicals, 557 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: and when it comes to having to tell the story 558 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: throughout song, I feel like it kind of loses that 559 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: emotion connection for me. Now some people, and why I 560 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of people love this movie is because 561 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: of the songs. It is because of the music, because 562 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: it kind of brings it to life in a different way. 563 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: And you find people, now, you know, making this soundtrack 564 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: number one on Billboard, going back and listening to these songs. 565 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: But that's really not what I go into wanting out 566 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: of a Disney movie. But I kind of feel like 567 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to have the same kind of situation 568 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: I had when I first saw Muana in theaters. I 569 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: didn't love Mauana in theaters because of the same reason 570 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: that I felt like the songs took me out of 571 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: it a little bit. And maybe three or four years later, 572 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: when I really watched it and understood the story a 573 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: little bit more, I then found those songs resonating a 574 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: lot more, and now that is one of my favorite 575 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Disney movies. But I also think I'm having a little 576 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: bit of Lynn Manuel Miranda fatigue kind of the same 577 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: way I'm having Ryan Reynolds fatigue. Is they are just 578 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: in everything right now, and I get it. He is 579 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: the best, probably and the first choice when it comes 580 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: to wanting to musical. But after seeing In the Heights, 581 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: after seeing Tick Tick Boom, and seeing how much of 582 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: an influence he had on this music, even though he 583 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: does it really well, I was kind of wanting Disney 584 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: to do with something a little bit different. And it's 585 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: something about Disney movies now getting away from not having 586 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: a villain and instead just focusing on the struggles like 587 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: within a family. I think it's kind of a different 588 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: take for me that I don't know if it's working 589 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: quite as well. I mean, if I had to assign 590 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: someone a villain of maybe personifying them of somebody I 591 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: would know in my life, I would say that Grandma 592 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: is the kind of the villain in this of not 593 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: listening to me and Ibelle and making it seem like 594 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: everything is fine at the very start of the movie, 595 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: even though things are not fine. But what I did 596 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the movie really enjoy about this 597 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: is the representation that this movie brings into Latin culture 598 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: and seeing things that resemble things that I would be 599 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: more familiar with from you know, growing up in a 600 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: Mexican household. Also seeing how some of those same traits, 601 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: same foods translate to a family like this from Columbia, 602 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: so above me not fully enjoying the movies I thought 603 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: I was going to. I really have to command Disney 604 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: for portraying these characters and even making a movie like this. 605 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: But the thing that's really just the most surprising to 606 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: me is how successful this soundtrack has been, with the 607 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: soundtrack being at number one right now at the time 608 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm recording this on the Billboard chart and for one 609 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: of the songs being the biggest Disney hit from an 610 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: animated movie since nineteen ninety five, and that means it's 611 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: now surpassed Let It Go, which came from Frozen in 612 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. So I do have the top five most 613 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: successful songs from Disney movies, and this is based on 614 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: commercial sales Billboard charts. At number five is now let 615 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: It Go, which was able to reach number five back 616 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, and it's beaten out now by we 617 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: don't talk about Bruno from a Ganto, which no, no. 618 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: And I think why that is surprising to me is 619 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: I just remember when let It Go came out from Frozen. 620 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: You couldn't go anywhere without hearing that song or seeing 621 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: somebody singing along to it on YouTube. I just felt 622 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: like Let It Go had much more of a cultural 623 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: impact to where everybody in America probably knew that song, 624 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: people had it as their ring tone, And it's just 625 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: surprising how fast we don't talk about Bruno has made 626 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: it to number four on the charts. It also kind 627 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: of just shows how much of an impact it has 628 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: when a movie goes on to streaming and for all 629 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: these records to be coming out now, but at number three. 630 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: Another movie that peaked at number four was Colors of 631 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: the Wind from Pocahonnas by Vanessa Williams. Can You at 632 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: number two was another song that peaked at number four 633 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety four. It is Elton John's can 634 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King. I mean, 635 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: I think that's the song I think about when I 636 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: think about songs from Disney movies. But at number one 637 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: is a song that went number one in nineteen ninety 638 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: three from Aladdin, A Whole New World, a dazzling place. 639 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: So that's just to look at some other big Disney songs. 640 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: So I'm just surprised to see this soundtrack being as 641 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: big as it is and people loving it as much 642 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: as they did, because I mean, when it comes to 643 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: what I thought the best songs were from Encanto. For me, 644 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have picked we don't talk about Bruno. I 645 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: think I probably would have picked surface Pressure. But that's 646 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: also probably because Luisa was the character I identified with 647 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: the most, and really for me, I thought the most 648 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: memorable character of the entire movie. You just don't buy 649 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: oh sister. But if I had to rate in Gontol, 650 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: I would give it three point five out of five. 651 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: Donkeys a good Disney movie that I think could have 652 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: been great if it would have had a stronger act three. 653 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: It was close to being a four, honestly, But the 654 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: thing I said out loud when the movie finished and 655 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: the last scene hit, I was like, Oh, that's it. 656 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: That's how they're ending it. So that's why I give 657 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: it a three point five four in Gonto. Time now 658 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: for the part of the podcast where I break down 659 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: a movie trailer of a movie coming to you very 660 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: soon in theaters or on streaming.

There's no more music in me, no more 669 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: dreams in me. I've lost the one person on earth 670 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: who understood me our school. That is expected. It's a 671 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: new boy on her band. Hey, you must be Lennon Walker. 672 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: So what this movie is about. It's actually based on 673 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: a book by the same name, also called The Sky 674 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 1: Is Everywhere, And the book is about this high school 675 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: girl who loses her older sister and then is kind 676 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: of struggling with her death being so sudden, and then 677 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: she becomes, at least in the book, romantically involved with 678 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: the sister's boyfriend who passed away because they're able to 679 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: bond over having the same feelings of grief and loss 680 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: and kind of dealing with that together. But then there's 681 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: also a new kid in down that they both have 682 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: the same love of music, where you kind of hear 683 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: at the end of that trailer, So it's the main 684 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: character dealing with these two close relationships. I had actually 685 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: just never heard of this book. I told my wife 686 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 1: about it. She's now added it to her reading list, 687 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: so hopefully when the movie comes out, we'll watch it 688 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: and she can give that review of how the book 689 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: is different from the movie, something I'm always kind of 690 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: curious to see how they adapt. The movie does star 691 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: Jason Siegel, but also just a lot of newcomers in 692 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: this movie. Why I'm interested in this movie where the 693 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: plot doesn't sound like something I would be fully into, 694 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: I do like book to movie adaptations. It's also coming 695 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: from A twenty four, which is a studio that I 696 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: always just give the benefit of a doubt, and they 697 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: have very unique romantic movies, so I don't feel like 698 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: this is going to be a very straight on kind 699 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: of romance or even a little bit of romantic comedy. 700 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: There's always just kind of edge to them with movies 701 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: they've done like The Spectacular Now or even like Lady. 702 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: I think it's going to have a little bit of 703 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: an edge to it. But visually, I really love how 704 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: this movie looks. I love a movie with a good 705 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: color palette, and while watching this trailer, seeing the burst 706 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,959 Speaker 1: of color and it having a unique, almost warm feel 707 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: to it. I'm just a fan of If a movie 708 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: is esthetically pleasing to the eye, it just keeps me 709 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: more focused into it. And it just feels like, even 710 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: though maybe it's a romantic story that's been kind of 711 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: touched on before, having this whole fresh look on it 712 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: makes me more inclined to watch it. I like the 713 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: special effects they have edit in there, from like the 714 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,479 Speaker 1: music notes exploding on the one scene where she sees 715 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: the other guy. And it also helps that it's coming 716 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: out right around Valentine's Day. We're all watching movies that 717 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 1: make us feel romantic or that loving feeling, and I 718 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: always like watching something new, and on top of the 719 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: fact that it's coming out on Apple tv Plus, I 720 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: feel like they're really going to get more into the 721 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: movie game this year. They're very kind of slow with 722 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: the content they're coming out with over there, whether it 723 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: be a series here, series there. They really haven't had 724 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 1: that one big Apple TV Plus movie hit yet that's 725 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: made people go over there just for that. I don't 726 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: think this one will be it for them, But if 727 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: they can keep putting out movies that I'm interested in 728 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: and also landing movies with well known actors, I think 729 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: it'll justify the subscription rate, which is actually probably the 730 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: cheapest one I have right now. Again, that movie is 731 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: called The Sky Is Everywhere, comes out on February eleventh 732 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: on Apple TV Plus. This makes edition. I do have 733 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of movie news here I want to 734 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: touch on. First up is The Batman has officially released 735 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: its runtime at two hours and fifty five minutes, and 736 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: that's not even including the credits. And when you look 737 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: at all the other Batman movies, the Dark Knight was 738 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: two hours and forty five minutes, so it is beating 739 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: that out by ten minutes, making it the longest Batman 740 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: movie ever released in theaters, and I, for one am 741 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: excited about that. I tweeted that I probably would have 742 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: watched this movie even if it was four hours long, 743 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: and just the vibes I've been getting from the trailers 744 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: and seeing the stories come out about this movie, it 745 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: seems like it's going to need all two hours and 746 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: fifty five minutes to get this story across, because what 747 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: they are doing here is reintroducing Batman in a whole 748 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: new world, in a whole new story. I feel like 749 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: the first hour is going to have to set that 750 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: stage and then developing all the other characters with the 751 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: Riddler and the Penguin and Catwoman. I'm just hoping the 752 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: long run time really opens itself up for a lot 753 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: of action, which they've been sewing in the trailers, a 754 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: lot of explosions, a lot of fighting. I hope it's 755 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: a movie I end up watching and never even question 756 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: how long it is. I see some people a little 757 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: bit skeptical about that of three hours being a pretty 758 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: long time to spend in a movie theater having to 759 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: go pee, and some people saying they're opting out for 760 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 1: waiting until it comes out on HBO Max, which if 761 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: you want that option, that's there for you too, but 762 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to wait forty five days and I'm 763 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: not going to do that. And the longest movie that 764 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in theaters was Endgame at three hours 765 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: and two minutes, and that was a movie that just 766 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: warrants being that long. But also coming off of just 767 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: watching Zack Snyder's Justice League, which clocks in over four hours, 768 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm just a little bit more into watching long content 769 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: right now and not being afraid of a long movie 770 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: if it's really good done the right way. You know, 771 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: if someone sits down to watch three or four episodes 772 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: of an hour long TV show, nobody panics because it's 773 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: all part of the plan. But when somebody puts out 774 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: a three hour long movie, well then everybody loses their minds. 775 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: And if you didn't catch that, that is an adaptation 776 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: of a quote from The Dark Night. All right, So 777 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: that's all I wanted to talk about in movie news. 778 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: There there was one other news story I had here 779 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: pulled out, but I kind of realized that there's a 780 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: spoiler in that, so I'll save that for another episode. 781 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: And before I hop out of here, what I do 782 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: every single week is give a shout out to one 783 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: of you who listens and post about the podcast, whether 784 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: it be you tagging me in your Instagram story, sending 785 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: me a tweet at mic destro, or emailing in at 786 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: movie Mike d at gmail dot com.
