1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I want you to think about your favorite movie. You

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: have that one in your head. One maybe he watches

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: a kid or a teenager and just loved, maybe laughed

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: out loud with with some of your friends. And now

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to ruin that movie for you, because on

6
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: this episode, I'm talking about movies that would be problematic

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: if they were put out today. I want to talk

8
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: about the plot lines are just overall themes of certain

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: movies that just wouldn't fly by today's standards, and even

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: just when we look back and think like, how did

11
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: they get away with making this movie? We'll also get

12
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: into the highest streaming movies this year. Got some recommendations

13
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: there and a movie review of the new Bill Murray

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: movie on Apple TV. Plus. Needless to say, I think

15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: this episode is gonna get interesting. So thanks for hitting play,

16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: thanks for hidden download. Without any further ado, let's get started.

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking Audi MTV

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: with classes from the night strel Just movie. I recently

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: rewatched a couple of my favorite movies, and as I

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: was watching these movies, I thought to myself, well, these

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: didn't age so well. There were some plot lines in

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: this that I was like, how did they get away

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: with doing this back in the day? And I can't

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: even believe that they're kind of reputting these out now

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: on streaming services and really nobody has had that big

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: of an issue with them. One in particular, I was

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: just like, I had no idea what was going on

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: with this movie as a kid, and it was all

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: in good fun. But now looking back, I'm like, they

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: could never make that movie again today. So that's what

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. I'll start with those two

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: movies first, and then I'll get into some other ones

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: that you guys suggested on Twitter and Instagram, where it's

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: just things that at the time maybe seemed normal for

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: what was going on in the world and just our

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: values at that time. And you also have to think

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: of some of these cases. Movies have some creative liberty.

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Movies are a form of art, and you can express

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: yourself in different ways to get points across. You can

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: poke fun at things sometimes you know it's satirical, but

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: also you have to really think and consider that sometimes

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: maybe the right call wasn't made for a joke or

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: a character, or are certain plot lines. So so, I

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's so much that we've become so sensitive now. Then,

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: it's just like, Okay, we've actually grown so much since then.

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: We've learned a lot about what you can and can't say,

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: or how you can and cannot represent people. So in

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: no way could you depict these characters or these plot

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: lines the same as you could in a movie that

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: would come out now. In with that said, I do

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: think a couple of my favorite movies are now kind

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: of ruined after going back and watching them. And I'll

56
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: start with Never Been Kissed Now. I've Never Been Kissed

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: came out in and it was probably my first favorite

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: romantic comedy. And I think why I didn't really find

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: any kind of problem with it watching it because I

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: was about eight years old when I saw this movie,

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: and everybody in the movie seemed elder to me, and

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I just didn't really get what that meant yet. But

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: what actually happens and Never Been Kissed when you go

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: back and watch it now, is the main character played

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: by Drew Barrymore is Josie Geller, and she's twenty five

66
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: years old working at a newspaper. She's like the youngest editor,

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and they assign her this story to go back to

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: high school. So she's twenty five and goes back and

69
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: plays a seventeen eighteen year old in high school who

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: is there to kind of infiltrate the popular kids and

71
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: kind of find out what they do. It's kind of

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: a really bizarre plotline and topic for a movie when

73
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: you think about it. The whole kind of premise of

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: it is a little weird. But not only that nobody

75
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: knows or catches onto the fact that she's twenty five

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: years old in the movie, and just some kind of

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: creepy things end up happening, because what the entire movie

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: is about is her at the very end kissing her

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: much older teacher. Now, her older teacher in the movie

80
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: seems like a really nice guy. She you know, starts

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: to develop feelings for him. They have this whole exchange

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: like the school fair, and it starts to get a

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: little creepy when you think about it, because he is

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: an older guy. Not only that, but he is her

85
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: teacher in the movie, and the entire time he is

86
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: thinking that she is a teenager looking back. Now, if

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you did that movie today, this would be a news story,

88
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: like teacher hooks up an eighteen year old student. It

89
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't be everybody goes to a baseball game and waits

90
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: for him to show up to kiss him. Another kind

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: of weird plot line in this is she has a

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: younger brother in the movie, played by David Arquette, and

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: he sees his sister Josie in this movie going back

94
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and having fun in high school. So he decides, Hey,

95
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to school and get my baseball

96
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: career back up and running and joins the team. But

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: then he starts dating a sixteen year old girl in

98
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: the movie. There's a whole lot of weirdness here, and

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: the whole big scene happens when they're at the prom

100
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: and she reveals to everybody that she is in five

101
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: years old, and also that her brother has been posing

102
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the same at the same time, and no one is

103
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: really all that outrage. They're more just kind of caught

104
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: off guard that she isn't who she says she was.

105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody starts throwing out accusations of like, oh,

106
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Rob has been lying to be on this baseball team,

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: but he also has a sixteen year old girlfriend. Now,

108
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: no one brought that up. Other than that, I think

109
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the movie still holds up as far as being an

110
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: entertaining movie. It's just a little weird to think about

111
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: if you really kind of break down that relationship. But

112
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: I think that movie is mild in comparison to the

113
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: movie Blank Check, which was one of my favorite movies

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: as a kid. And it's a very wacky movie, and

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: I think that's why I liked it so much. If

116
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with it, it's the story about a

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: kid named Preston Waters, and Preston Waters pretty much gets

118
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: ragged on the entire movie for not having a whole

119
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: lot of money, kind of being a nerdy kid, not

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: having any friends. I could relate to that, And all

121
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: he wants to do is have his own room him

122
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: and have his own stuff. But his older brothers are jerks,

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: and not only that, but his parents are kind of

124
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: like giving him a hard time throughout the entire movie. Basically,

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: this kid is being tormented by everybody in his life.

126
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: His dad sends him to a birthday party without any

127
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: real money and it's at an amusement part, so basically

128
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: everybody's just making this twelve year old life a living hell,

129
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: to say the least. But here's where it gets interesting

130
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: and it gets creepier. Later, he gets a blank check

131
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: from his grandma and he's like, what's a blank check?

132
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: And his dad kind of described it to him, and

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: he goes about it by writing it in for ten dollars.

134
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: So he had a chance to give his son a

135
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: little bit more money for his birthday and he's short

136
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: changed him to ten bucks. That's fine, so Preston goes

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: to the bank to try to cash it. So there's

138
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: a whole lot of just kind of plot holes in

139
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: this movie. To sum it up pretty quickly, he ends

140
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: up getting run over by a guy who had earlier

141
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: in the movie found a way to steal a million

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: dollars and then goes to a bank to pressure or

143
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: the banker to launder the money for him, and he's like,

144
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send a guy the next day to come

145
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: pick up the clean money. But in that whole exchange,

146
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: he ends up running over Preston's bike and he offers

147
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: him he's gonna write him a check, but then the

148
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: police come and before he can finish writing the check,

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: he just bails gives Preston the blank check, hence the

150
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: name of the movie. And then from there, Preston, being

151
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the twelve year old that he is, writes in a

152
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: million dollars, goes to the bank the next day and

153
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: tries to cash it. It ends up working because the

154
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: banker thinks that the convict guy sent a kid in

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: to cash the check and pick up his money. But

156
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: the creepy part comes in when he met a teller

157
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: at the bank who is this older, attractive, thirty something

158
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: year old woman, and somehow it turns out that she

159
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: is working for the CIA and doing some undercover situation there,

160
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: and being the twelve year old boy that he is,

161
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: he develops a crush on her and basically tries to

162
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: use the money to impress her. But he has the

163
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: cover story the whole time is that it's working for

164
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: his boss named McIntosh, which he got from the computer

165
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: that I mentioned earlier. So he's using that as like, Oh,

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: my boss wants me to take you out to dinner,

167
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: he wants to pay for things to give you this gift.

168
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: It all just starts to get weird that she agrees

169
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: to go essentially on a date with a twelve year

170
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: old kid. They run around in a fountain together, like

171
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: him holding her hand. There's just a lot of weirdness

172
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: here with the older woman and a younger kid that

173
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: she would just, even if it is her job, agree

174
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: to go out with him, and even so much that

175
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: she calls it a date, like it's a date is

176
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: what she tells him. So if that's not weird enough.

177
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: When all the crap hits the fan, he ends up

178
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: getting busted by police. The convicts get arrested, but then

179
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: it's Preston and this older, attractive woman and she straight

180
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: up kisses him like it's in the movie. If you

181
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: go watching that on Disney Plus, that scene is still

182
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: left in there, an you think maybe it's innocent enough

183
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: she kisses him on the cheek or maybe kisses them

184
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: on the forehead. No, she straight up kisses him on

185
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: the lips. It's a pretty disturbing screen, Johnny. You just

186
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: look at that scene, and I don't know what was

187
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: going through the writer's heads when they made that scene

188
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: and it got approved. I just don't know what the

189
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: logic is there, because the entire movie seems innocent enough.

190
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: The whole idea is pretty perplexed. And it's supposed to

191
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: be a fun kids movie. I mean, it's a Disney

192
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: movie of all things. I just think if you were

193
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: going to reboot blank check in, there's no way you

194
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: could even get this movie pitched. It's just astounding. Now,

195
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: there's another very famous movie that has kind of a

196
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: similar thing in the movie Big with Tom Hanks. Elizabeth Perkins,

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: who plays Susanne Lawrence in the movie, ends up being

198
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: attracted to Tom Hanks's character Josh because he looks like

199
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: the handsome Tom Hanks, but he's actually a kid. But

200
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: he's actually a kid even though he looks like an adult.

201
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: Like this is still in a moral relationship going on here.

202
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: But again, in the world of movies, maybe not the

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: oddest thing is which you've kind of learned here. Another

204
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: major plotline in a classic comedy was a spinter pet detective,

205
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: the original one. We're plain and Simple. The whole final

206
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: joke of the entire movie just wouldn't fly today because

207
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty transphobic. So the way Ace Ntera cracks the

208
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: case is he finds out that Finkel is iron Horn

209
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: and iron Horn is Finkel, and then he has discussed

210
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: it at the fact that he had kissed her, and

211
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: all the other guys who find out at the same

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: time as he reveals it act in a similar way. Now, again,

213
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: this was the nineties. A lot has changed since then.

214
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: We've all kind of learned a lot more since then,

215
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: and I just see in no way that this movie

216
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: could be made today. I'll stay in the comedy genre

217
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: for the next one. One of my favorite actors, just

218
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of celebrities in general, is Johnny Knoxville. I was

219
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: a big fan of Jackass and all the Checkass movies,

220
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: and I liked when he kind of stepped aside from

221
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: that world and did his own comedies. I really think

222
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Johnny Knoxville is a great actor. Maybe it doesn't pick

223
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: all the best movies. And he did a movie in

224
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: the early two thousands called The Ringer, which is one

225
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: of his first really big steps into being a lead

226
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: actor in the movie in a movie. I went to

227
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the movie theater and enjoyed it. Now, looking back on

228
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: that movie, the whole kind of plot line could be

229
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: pretty problematic today because in the movie he poses as

230
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: a mentally disabled person in order to get into the

231
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: special Olympics, and he does that so his uncle can

232
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: place a bet on him, thinking that he could go

233
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: in and pretty much beat anybody. Now that sounds kind

234
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: of bad looking back on it, like you can't really

235
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: do that. But the other thing about this movie is

236
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: I felt like it did have some heart, Like you

237
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: learned some things in the movie, and the way his

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: character kind of changes throughout, which he starts out pretty insensitive,

239
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: but I think after getting to know the people in

240
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: the movie and the actors and what they actually go through,

241
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: he has a change and he becomes friends with everybody.

242
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: So I don't think the movie has a bad nature

243
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: about it. I think the only thing that's kind of

244
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: problematic today is that you have actors who are not

245
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: mentally challenged or mentally disabled playing characters who are. And

246
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: while I don't think they really come out and are

247
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: just poking fun or making fun of people, I think

248
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: that's a fine line to walk. Another movie I saw

249
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: you guys treating me a lot about was Tropics Thunder. Now,

250
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: the thing about Tropic Thunder is there's a lot of

251
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: things you could be offended by in this movie, and

252
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: I agree that you could probably not make this movie today.

253
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: But I also think that Tropic Thunder was very self

254
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: aware of the jokes they were making, and there was

255
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: also something they were trying to say and all the crazy,

256
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: outlandish things they did in this movie. So obviously the

257
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Robert Downey Junior character is highly offensive, but they were

258
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: also trying to make a statement of how there's not

259
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of diversity in Hollywood and how things

260
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: like that in parts were given to actors representing people

261
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: who they were not. So without a doubt, you couldn't

262
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: do that character today. You couldn't do that plot line.

263
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: But overall, I think when it comes to comedy sometimes

264
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: you have to go to radical extremes to make a statement,

265
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: whether or not you agree it's appropriate or not. And

266
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you can't be offended by that character.

267
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: You can't be offended by that movie. You could easily

268
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: watch this and feel that way. I'm not saying that,

269
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: but I think that's the kind of line you play

270
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: with a comedy like this. It's gonna go over the top,

271
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: it's going to do something crazy. And also kind of

272
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: sparked a conversation afterwards, and then Robert Downey Jr. Is

273
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: still doing interviews about this movie saying whether or not

274
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: he regrets playing that character, and he doesn't, kind of

275
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: along the same lines of that ideology. I have a

276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: few more of these I want to run through, and

277
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: one that I'm kind of interested to see how they're

278
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: gonna do the reboot of it is the news She's

279
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: All That, which they're flipping it and making it He's

280
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: all that. So the roles are kind of reversed here,

281
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: But when you think about the first one, it's a

282
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: little kind of insensitive and could also be viewed as bullying.

283
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Now he's essentially making over a girl who they depict

284
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: as being nerdy and uncool and unattractive, and when you

285
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: think about it, the whole plot line is kind of cruel.

286
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: It's basically a modern take on My Fair Lady, And

287
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: now they're taking She's All that and switching the roles

288
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: and making the guy the nerdy one, and the girl

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: is the one who makes him over into being prom king.

290
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: So I guess the issue here is if they can

291
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: depict bullying like that, But also it's just kind of

292
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: offensive to the actor supposedly playing the person who is unattractive,

293
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: like just flat out in any kind of movie where

294
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: you're showing somebody who is seen is not attractive, and

295
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: the other thing for me, I'm not an attractive person,

296
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: and they're showing these actors who are actually really attractive,

297
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: and they're just putting them in glasses and not so

298
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: cool clothes and being like, oh, look they're nerdy. I'm like,

299
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: I'll show you nerdy. You think that's nerdy, they're straight

300
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: up a movie star. What do they think of me?

301
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: That's where I find offense in this whole plot line.

302
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Another great comedy classic is Animal House. But there's a

303
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of things here that you think, like, yeah,

304
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: that's actually pretty creepy. Not only creepy, but it's a crime.

305
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: There's a scene where John Belucci's character is climbing up

306
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: a ladder and just is spying on girls and basic

307
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: their underwear and in some cases just not wearing anything.

308
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: A very creepy scene where it kind of breaks that

309
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: fourth wall of when he's looking in on the girl

310
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: and then looks back at the camera kind of gives

311
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: it a weird wink and then goes back to watching her.

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you could do that scene anymore. And

313
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: going back and realizing that that was in that movie. Yeah,

314
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: that that's not good. Even worse than that was in

315
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: the eighties, the movie Revenge of the Nerds, which is

316
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: basically the classic tale of David triumphing over Goliath, and

317
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: one of the ways the quote unquote Nerds has a

318
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: win in the movie is really a disgusting crime when

319
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: you think about it, and probably didn't really realize it

320
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: at the time when you watch this movie, but they're

321
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: at a Halloween party and he dresses as the jock.

322
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: But they're at a Halloween party and the nerd dresses

323
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: in one of the jock's costumes and then basically hooks

324
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: up with his girlfriend her not knowing that it wasn't

325
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: her boyfriend, it was actually the nerd, So this is

326
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: literally only a crime, and then she ends up staying

327
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: with that character after that encounters. So all in all,

328
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: pretty creepy. There Also in the world a creepy was

329
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: American Pie. Basically the scene everybody knew that movie for

330
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: and the reason all privy teenagers wanted to watch that

331
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: movie you could never do today because they straight up

332
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: put Shannon Elizabeth's character on a webcam and stream it

333
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: for all the high school to see. But not only that.

334
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: What we know about the internet now is that's gonna

335
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: live forever and people are gonna see that for years

336
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: to come. So they just straight up put her on

337
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: blast and there would be lawsuits after lawsuits after lawsuits.

338
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: Did that actually happened in her life? American Pie two

339
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: and three would not have happened because they all would

340
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: have been in jail. Now. A lot of the movies

341
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: I've talked about so far had been in the eighties

342
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: and the nineties, and I think we've come a long

343
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: way since then. But even more recently, in like the

344
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: early two thousands, mid two thousands, there were movies like

345
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: The Four Year Old Virgin, even like The Hangover, Wedding Crashers,

346
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: like that whole kind of genre of comedies. Some of

347
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: the language they used in those movies and the words

348
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: they said that we're not offensive at the time, And

349
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: I remember watching these movies, you know, you know they're

350
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: gonna be crude, and you know they're gonna say things

351
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: that are a little raunchy and have cursing in them.

352
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: Going back and watching that they basically just used slurs

353
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: feels a little bit cringe E And I don't think

354
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: when they made these movies that was an intentional thing.

355
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: They were just saying things that people, probably everybody was

356
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: kind of using in their everyday language. But we've kind

357
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: of learned over time that you probably shouldn't use those

358
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: words to describe people. So I would like to say

359
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: that all these movies were so long ago that we've

360
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: grown so much since then, But even just as recently

361
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: as like The Hangover, like straight up in that movie trailer,

362
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: they used a word that you could never say today

363
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: and it's just awful. So again, there's just that fine

364
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: line of saying things for comedic effect but also being like, Okay,

365
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: come on, we have to be a little bit better

366
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: than that, but don't gonna be wrong. The great thing

367
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: about Comedy two is kind of pushing those lines and

368
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: pushing those boundaries. Now, I'm a Mexican guy, and sometimes

369
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't like the way Mexican people are portrayed in movies,

370
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: even movies that I love, like Board in the st L.

371
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: A would teach Martin there's stuff about that and I

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: don't like. So you can never talk down to somebody

373
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: about being offended, Like if somebody takes something a certain way,

374
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: you can't really know how that feels or how it

375
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: affects them. I think in some cases we just all

376
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: have to get better at the things we put into

377
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: movies and know that maybe in ten years, yeah, that

378
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: might not be the best decision. What I want to

379
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: talk about now is the list that Variety put out

380
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: of the most streamed movies of the year. With all

381
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: of us being at home and movie theaters being shut

382
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: down for the majority of the year, it's basically led

383
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: to bigger streaming numbers some of these. I was kind

384
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: of surprised by of them reaching so many people, and

385
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: it kind of shows you the power of Netflix, but

386
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: now a little bit of Disney Plus, and I kind

387
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: of want to rate a little bit of all the

388
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: different services because I've actually used all of them. I've

389
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: can of the couple of them because I didn't think

390
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: they had enough to offer to me for what I

391
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: wanted to watch, So they put out this list. There's

392
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: thirty movies on it, and all of them come from Netflix,

393
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, HBO, Max, Hulu, and Amazon. Those are basically

394
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: all the places where we can go and either pay

395
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: a subscription to watch these movies or in some cases

396
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: you still have to pay the twenty bucks to stream them.

397
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: At number one is Hamilton's the movie, the most stream

398
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: movie of all and it's on Disney Plus. And I

399
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: remember when this movie came out that I struggle with

400
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: just the idea of is it actually a movie? Like

401
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: should I review it on the podcast because it's a

402
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: live recording of the actual play with all the original cast.

403
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: And after watching it, I was fully convinced that yes,

404
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: this has everything that really defines a movie, just done

405
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: in a different way. And I think the reason it

406
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: comes in at number one is because they had a

407
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: lot of things going for it. It was still towards

408
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: the earlier of the year, and it was kind of

409
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: an event when it came out right around on July four.

410
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: They came out on July three, but I think everybody

411
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: was at a point where they just wanted to stay

412
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: home and want something new. There was nothing really new

413
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: out up to this point for a while. And also

414
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Hamilton's just reaches a really broad audience, so there was

415
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: a big demand there. And I think Disney Plus also

416
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: kind of played their cards just right to where they

417
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: took away there one week try leading up to this,

418
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: so you basically had to sign up and pay for

419
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Disney Plus just to watch Hamilton's and it paid off

420
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: for them. So if you haven't seen this yet, I

421
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: do think it deserves the number one slot here. It

422
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: is a pretty long movie, but surprisingly keeps your attention

423
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: throughout the entire thing. So that's number one. Disney Plus

424
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: gets to win there. At number two is a movie

425
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: I reviewed just a couple of weeks ago, bore At

426
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: to the subsequent movie film, which Amazon now has their

427
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: just highest stream movie of all time. And I think

428
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: why this one has been so successful is the first

429
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: one was so beloved and even though it came out

430
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: so many years years ago, what it's actually about just

431
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: translates so well into today's world, and just that character

432
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: of Borat has kind of remained a pop culture icon

433
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: over the years that people were ready for this movie. Now,

434
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: they don't say exactly how many people watch this movie.

435
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Amazon just describes it as quote unquote millions. I kind

436
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: of wish it was like YouTube, and when you go

437
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: watch a movie on the streaming service it says, actually,

438
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: how many people have watched that movie? That would be

439
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: an interesting feature. Netflix does have the top ten, but

440
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like they control that a little bit,

441
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: like they can put out all their new movies and

442
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: work them in there, like we don't see those actual numbers,

443
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: so I feel like they manipulate that top ten a

444
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: little bit. I think if anyone was to put their

445
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: view count on their actually movies, it would be Amazon,

446
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think they'll do that. Running through the

447
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: top ten, here at number three, you have My Spy,

448
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: which is also on Amazon. Number four extraction with Netflix,

449
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite action movies of the year,

450
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of where Netflix has shined

451
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot this year. They put out a pretty good

452
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: action movie. They know what people want, blood guns, violence,

453
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: and hunky leads. At number five you have Phineas and

454
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: ferb the movie on Disney Plus. And I think family

455
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: movies just had a really big year this year because

456
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: families aren't going to the movie theater right now, and

457
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: have found that you can really save a lot of

458
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: money by even paying that thirty dollar rental at home.

459
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to buy all your kids the ticket,

460
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay for all the snacks at

461
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: the overpriced cost. You can rent the movie at home. Yeah,

462
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: you don't get that experience of getting out of the house,

463
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: but in the end comes out a little bit cheaper.

464
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: At number six you have Mulan, which I spent the

465
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: thirty bucks on to rent. Looking back, don't really think

466
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: it was worth it because since I watched that movie,

467
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: haven't really thought about it since. At number seven you

468
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: have The Old Guard on Netflix, another big action movie

469
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: for them. Again you're seeing a theme here. Netflix really

470
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: brings it with the action. And number eight you have

471
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: The Trial of the Chicago Seven also on Netflix. Really

472
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: great powerful movie. At number one you have The Witches

473
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: on HBO Max, and at number ten you have The

474
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: Lovebirds on Netflix. Now I kind of just want to

475
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: go through some highlights here on the list. At number

476
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty you have an American Pickle on HBO Max, which

477
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: was with Seth Rogan. I wanted to be more impressed

478
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: by HBO Max. I had a trial just to watch

479
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: this movie, and I spent a little bit of time

480
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: on that streaming service, and there was just nothing that

481
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: really stood out to me as far their original content.

482
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: I think the main appeal in the beginning was them

483
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: having all the Harry Potter movies, a lot of the

484
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: d C stuff, but a lot of that has since

485
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: gone away. Even the Harry Potter movies are about to

486
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: be completely eliminated from any streaming service because they had

487
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: this whole deal worked out to where you can't even

488
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: watch them on cable. They have kind of looped them

489
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: together with the Fantastic Beast movies, so all those rights

490
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: have been acquired, so basically there will be nowhere else

491
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: to watch the Harry Potter movies unless you pay to

492
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: rent them or buy them. Also at number twenty six

493
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 1: was a movie called Palm Springs, which I loved with

494
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 1: Andy Sandberg, and this one was on Hulu, which who

495
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: only had two movies that made the top thirty. I

496
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: don't think they're quite there yet with their original movies,

497
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: and for this one to be their second most successful

498
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: one this year, I think they have a long way

499
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: to go. But fantastic one here and number twenty eight

500
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: you have Cloud, which is the movie we reviewed here

501
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: last week. And another kind of highlight here another movie

502
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: we reviewed last week. At number twenty five, It's Holiday,

503
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: which is on Netflix. Now that movie has only been

504
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks, and for it to

505
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: already be in the top thirty just kind of shows

506
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: you the power of Netflix of putting something there to

507
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: where it already has all these built in subscribers. So

508
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: right out of this entire top thirty streaming list, it's

509
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Netflix still has a pretty good hole

510
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: on all of streaming movies. But coming up there, I

511
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: think Disney Plus is right behind them because Disney just

512
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: has that big name altogether and that umbrella of now

513
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: to be able to put their own movies on their

514
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: own streaming service. That's really the only major network that

515
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: can actually do that. Amazon Prime is kind of up

516
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: there too, but I just don't think they really have

517
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: their kind of style of movie down yet. But if

518
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: you want to check out this list, I'll put it

519
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: up in the show notes. You can click on that

520
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: and check out all these movies. All right. Got to

521
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: get into a movie review now, talking about On the

522
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: Rocks starring Bill Murray and Roshda Jones, and it's only

523
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: available to watch on Apple Plus. Before we get into

524
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: this review, which will be spoiler free, here's just a

525
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: little bit of On the Rocks. So Dean's going away

526
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot. We're playing business rich dad. Raise your hand

527
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: if that sounds Fisher. He's not like you. He's a

528
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: good guy, great dad. I'm sure it's nature males are

529
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: forced to fight to dominate and to impregnate the mold female.

530
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just not interested in anymore impossible. But woman,

531
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: is that are most beautiful between the ages of during

532
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: nine great so I have a many months left. So

533
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: Rashida Jones and Bill Murray is a duel that I

534
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: didn't know I needed. And I gotta say, at the

535
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: very beginning of this movie, I kind of instantly loved

536
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: it and fell in love with them two together. And

537
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: you don't really get funny Bill Murray like Hattie Shack

538
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: leading man, But what you get in this movie is

539
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: Bill Murray being his charming self. So he's basically playing himself.

540
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: But that's something only Bill Murray can do. And I

541
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: found that really enjoyable. Just watching Bill Murray b Bill

542
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: Murray now pairing him with Rashida Jones, I think is

543
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: a really great pairing in this movie. And what I

544
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: liked about it is that it didn't feel like anything

545
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: over the top, anything super special, But there was just

546
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: something warm about this movie that I enjoyed from the

547
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: very beginning. And just to get something like that right

548
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: at the start. I think men a lot to me

549
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: going into this and made me want to watch the

550
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: entire movie, not only those two together, but you get

551
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: Marlon Wains, who you really know for his comedy stuff,

552
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: but in this one you kind of get him being

553
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: a normal person and really kind of showing his acting chops.

554
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: So what this movie is about is Rashida Jones has

555
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of on herself in a rut with her marriage

556
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: with Marlon Wayans, and she starts suspecting that he is

557
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: cheating on her because he's just started this business where

558
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of traveling. He's hanging around with

559
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: this coworkers, some who are other attractive females, and she

560
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: starts to feel just a little bit suspicious about him,

561
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, being gone all the time or just hiding

562
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: his phone sometimes. And then he goes on a trip

563
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: and comes back and she's unpacking his bag and finds

564
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: a woman's toiletry bag And after that she kind of

565
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: confronts him and he says, you know, it was another coworkers.

566
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: She put it in his bag because it didn't fit

567
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: in hers. At the airport. He'll give it back to

568
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: her the next day. So he's very kind of cool,

569
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: common collective when he tells her, you don't really suspect anything.

570
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: But where it kind of comes into play with Bill

571
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: Murray coming back is he's kind of been in and

572
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: out of her life. He's like this real kind of

573
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: playboy kind of guy and hasn't been super involved or

574
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: just not there all the time. So he kind of

575
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: comes back to her life. She tells him what's going on,

576
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: and he instantly becomes desistent, suspicious, like, hey, we need

577
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: to start tailing this guy. We need to start getting

578
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: a private investigator on him and see what's going on

579
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: with him, because he believes that he is cheating on her.

580
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: There was even an instance at the very start of

581
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: the movie where he gets home from that trip, goes

582
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: to kiss her and you know, they're making out in

583
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: bed or whatever, and there's like a point where he

584
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: thinks that she feels like he thought she was another

585
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: woman because he just kind of stops and she's like,

586
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: was that weird? And that's where it kind of goes.

587
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: So the whole movie starts with her finding out more

588
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: about her husband and if she's cheating on him. It's

589
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: her dealing with her trying to write a book and

590
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: be creative while still being a being a mom and

591
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: having two kids. So it's a lot of learning kind

592
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: of how to balance that life and how to balance

593
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: the initial stages of if you think someone in your

594
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: relationship is being unfaithful, and not only that, but how

595
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: to deal with that with your career and with your kids.

596
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Just kind of feeling like overall you're in a rut,

597
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: like what did you do to make this happen? Or

598
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: was this actually going on? And it kind of escalates

599
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: from there. But what I liked about this movie is

600
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: that it starts out you think it's gonna be about

601
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: one thing, and it ends up being about another thing,

602
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: because once Bill Murray's character comes in, you learn a

603
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: lot more about him and the effect that his life

604
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: has had on her, kind of how he is he

605
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: is as a dad, and how he kind of treats women,

606
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: and just his whole approach to life, to where it's

607
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: a really great story of a dad and daughter relationship

608
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: that I haven't really seen done like this in a while,

609
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: And you have some really great actors here doing a

610
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: really great job. It's also written and directed by Sophia

611
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: coppolav who also worked with Bill Murray and Lost in Translation,

612
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: so you're getting something really great here. It's also an

613
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: A four film, which, if you're not familiar with this

614
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: production studio, it's a very highly rated independent movie studio,

615
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: where to the point, if I see it's an A

616
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: twenty four film, I am most likely just to watch

617
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: it matter who's in it, because I know they have

618
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: some pretty high standards when it comes to the plots

619
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: in their movies and just overall production in it. I

620
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna watch film, it's going to be

621
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: a pretty good movie. So this movie had a lot

622
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: going into it. I'd say the only thing that's holding

623
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: anything against it is that it's only on Apple Plus TV,

624
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: and I just happen to have a subscription because when

625
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: I bought my new iPhone, I got like a year

626
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: free subscription for some reason, and I used it to

627
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: watch the Morning Show TV show and pretty much just

628
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: this movie and that other Greyhound Tom Hanks movie that

629
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: came out earlier this year had been the only really

630
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: good or even decent original movies of the Tom Hanks

631
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: movie wasn't that great. This one, I think is up there,

632
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's something that would really move

633
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: me to getting a straight on Apple Plus subscription just

634
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: to watch this movie maybe like a free trial, and

635
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: then deleting it afterwards. Apple really isn't there with the

636
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: original movies yet, how I kind of talked about in

637
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: those top ten streaming list, you know, they're not really

638
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: there yet with their original content. They have some pretty

639
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: like heavy hitters, it seems like with actors, but it's

640
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: just not anything or enough there to want to have

641
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: a subscription or keep me there. So I did enjoy

642
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: this movie. It's a pretty easy watch, only about an

643
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: hour and a half, and it's a really nice story,

644
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: had a great ending, and just overall kind of good

645
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: message there at the end. If it were only in theaters,

646
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be anything that I would

647
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: tell you to rush to the theater now to see.

648
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: But if you happen to have an Apple subscription or

649
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: you're thinking about maybe trying it out and getting that

650
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: seven day or trial or whatever, it's a good maybe

651
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: date night movie, or just something to watch when you

652
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: need something to clean your palette. Very well done overall.

653
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: I would give it four out of five. Private investigators

654
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: give it four out of five. Private Investigators. That is

655
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: my review of On the Rocks. Let's take a look

656
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: now at movie news. One of the headlines I was

657
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: most excited about this week was that it was announced

658
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: that Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson are in talks with

659
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: the director of Wedding Crasher is at a possible sequel.

660
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: It's kind of looking like it's going to happen at

661
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: the time of recording this and what I've read so far,

662
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to be known that a few

663
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: episodes ago I put out my idea for a movie

664
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: on wedding crashers too. It was all kind of based

665
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: on this year what happened with weddings during the coronavirus.

666
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: So I have on record my movie idea for this,

667
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: and they are in talks of this now. Now, if

668
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: the new plot of this movie has anything to do

669
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: with the thoughts I said are out there, I just

670
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: want to say, I don't need any credit, I don't

671
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: need any money. I just want a cameo in the movie.

672
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. It just reminds me of

673
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: a funny TikTok that I saw of this guy who

674
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: was showing this book that he made when he was

675
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: a kid. That was kind of the plot line what

676
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: ended up being Finding Nemo. And he says that he

677
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: sent this book to LaVar Burton, who sent him a

678
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: letter back, and then years later he discovered that they

679
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: were making the movie Finding Nemo. I don't know how

680
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: real that was. Maybe he made up the whole thing.

681
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: It's still kind of funny though, Like that would be

682
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: hilarious if they ended up actually making the Wedding Crashers

683
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: movie and use my idea. Not that they probably saw

684
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: my idea and not that it's just some crazy original idea,

685
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: but it would get me to thinking. The other kind

686
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: of crazy and interesting thing that I saw is that

687
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp is being forced to exit the Fantastic Beast franchise.

688
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: It was on Friday that he announced that he would

689
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: no longer be a part of it, saying that Warner

690
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Brothers actually asked him to resign from his role and

691
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: and that was all because of the outcome of his

692
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: recent trial where he lost his libel case against the Sun,

693
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: which is a British tabloid that published an article back

694
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: in ten claiming that he was a wife beater. And

695
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: now Johnny Depp is saying that he plans to appeal

696
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: the ruling, but he has lost his job on the

697
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Fantastic Beast franchise, and it's kind of talks now what

698
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: they're going to do with it, how to kind of

699
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: take his character out and even if like Colin Farrell,

700
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: will still be a part of it. So Warner Brothers

701
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: announced that he is out and his role will be

702
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: recast before they filmed the third movie, which they're still

703
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: saying it's going to come out in theaters. It was

704
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: originally supposed to hit in November, and now they're saying

705
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: it will premiere in the summer of two. That's a

706
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: long ways away. All right, that's gonna do it for

707
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: this episode. Thanks so much for listening, for telling a friend,

Speaker 1: out is to at Molly Kate eight nine, who actually

717
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: had a question about the intro of this podcast and

718
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: wondered if it's Raymundo from the Bobby Bones Show doing

719
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: the voice, and I want to confirm it is Raymundo.

720
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: When I first started this podcast, I hit him up.

721
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, could you voice this for me?

722
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I gave him all the lines to record and he

723
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: did an excellent job with it. So thanks Raymundo for

724
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: being the voice of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. Molly also

725
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: said in her message, great job doing a movie podcast

726
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: when there aren't a whole lot of movies going on

727
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: right now. Enjoy listening and keep it going. Thanks Molly,

728
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: and I will keep it going because I will be
