And in the trailer park, I 12 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: want to talk about a new movie that's entirely based 13 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: on a stand up comedy bit called The Machine. Thank 14 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: you for being subscribed, shout out to the Monday Morning 15 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: Movie crew. And now let's talk movies. In a world 16 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man 17 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking AUDIMTV with glasses from the 20 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Nashville Podcast Network Movie Mics Movie So I wanted to 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: do something entirely different this week and it may be 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: an ongoing thing if you guys are into it. But 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: I want to do a best and worst movies we've 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: seen in the last month. So it's an entire February 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: movie round up. Because on this podcast, I usually only 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: review one movie a week, but I watch a lot 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: more than that. Us together, we watch a lot of movies. 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: You don't always go see all the movies with me 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: in theaters, especially when it comes to anything scary or 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: with violence. I will say there's only like one movie 31 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: a month I don't see with you. Yeah, and then 32 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: but we watch a lot at home and some movies that, 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: as we'll talk about, weren't the best, that don't really 34 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: garner an entire review. So we'll start with our best 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: and Kelsey, you can go first. What is the best 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: thing you've watched this month? It was the Alison Brie 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: movie on Amazon Prime, somebody I used to know. I 38 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: thought it was really it was a cute rom com. 39 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: Love a rom com. We'll talk about one that I 40 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: didn't love, but I loved that one. I love Alison Brie. 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I think she's great. Dave Franco produced it, is that 42 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: correct directed it? Yeah, I think they're such a funny 43 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: team together, Like they're such a good like husband wife 44 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: team when they work on movies together, and it's just 45 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: good like it was. I don't feel like it was 46 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: super predictable. I mean it didn't have like tons of 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: twists and turns. I really enjoyed that one. I'm getting 48 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more into rom coms as of late. 49 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: I think the genre is kind of coming back. I 50 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: think it's hard to do a full on comedy right now, 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: but I think rom coms, when done right, can be 52 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: really good right now. And I really enjoyed this one too. 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was my best of the month, 54 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: but the plot was a little bit different, and I 55 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: think that's what I look forward to going into a 56 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: rom com is all the generic stuff has been done 57 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: over and over again, and sometimes those movies serve a purpose, 58 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: just make you feel good. You don't have to think 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: a whole lot, but I think when you do add 60 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more depth to a plot, like this 61 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: movie did. I will also say it was Alison Brees 62 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: promo on Jimmy Fallon did a little rap and it 63 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: made me want to watch it even more so. Here's 64 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: that clip of Alison bree rapping on Jimmy Fallon. Here's 65 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: a little tale about a movie I made with my 66 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: sweet ass husband. His name is Dave. About girl meets boy, well, 67 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: remeets actually, I don't want to start off this rap 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: in factually, So they hang out in their hometown and 69 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: they have a great night just paling around, and she's 70 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: totally in. She thinks he's the one. But that's when 71 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: things stop being fun. See it turns out he's here 72 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: in wedding bells, but they're not about her, They're about 73 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: someone else. Say, what's gonna happen? Where could this? Oh 74 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to watch somebody I used to know her. Yeah, 75 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: that is a great way to promote a movie. It 76 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: made me want to watch the movie even more. I 77 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: already wanted to watch it before I saw that clip, 78 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: and then watching the movie, I was like, Oh, that's 79 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: such a great thing to do. The thing I'd liked 80 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: about it is you don't really root for her. She's 81 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: not really like the like the best protagonist. Yeah, she's 82 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: not like somebody that you're like, yeah, I hope she 83 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: ends up with the guy. Like, that's not the kind 84 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: of story that you're wanting to see, and I think 85 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: that makes it very realistic. So what the movie is 86 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: about is her character goes back home after going to 87 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: La to pursue her dream of being in Hollywood, and 88 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: then she goes back and meets her ex boyfriend where 89 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: they were together for a long time. They kind of 90 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: hit it off, have a date, but then you find 91 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: out he is in a committed relationship and about to 92 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: get married. So it's this entire thing of her trying 93 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: to get back with him, forming a relationship with his fiance, 94 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: spends their whole wedding weekend with them. And again, none 95 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: of this is a spoiler, it's all in the Chidler 96 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: and Alison Bruce rap so I think also, this movie 97 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: had a really great cast, and at the core of it, 98 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: the writing was just really good. The plot line isn't 99 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: completely predictable, even up to the end, Like most times, 100 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: I can pretty much predict how a romcom is going 101 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 1: to end. We had that discussion while we were watching 102 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: the movie, like, what do you think is going to 103 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: happen here? I think it proves maybe it's not an 104 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: entirely groundbreaking romantic comedy, but it's a little bit more 105 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: novel than your basic formula. I also don't think we're 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: in an age where movies have to be groundbreaking. We're 107 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: making seven thousand street pools and eight thousand remakes of 108 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: the same movie. Like kind of feel like we're done 109 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: with groundbreaking for a while. If it's not broken, you 110 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: don't have to fix it. And a romcom is a 111 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: good genre. But yeah, I mean every other movie is 112 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: a sequel. I mean Top Gun did a sequel like 113 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: thirty years later. True, We've got what Toy Story five 114 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: coming out? Yeah, We've got remakes of everything. We're making 115 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: animated movies into live action. Like, none of these things 116 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: are groundbreaking. So if you want to check that movie out, 117 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: is available for free on Amazon. What would you rate 118 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: that one? I give that one a four out of 119 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: five soft pretzels. That's exactly what I gave it. So again, 120 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: you can check out that movie on Amazon. Which it's 121 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: still weird to me that Amazon has original movies. The 122 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: same place we get like toilet paper and granola bars 123 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: from also makes movies. They're also about to launch that 124 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Daisy Jones and the Six show. It's based on a 125 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: book that I read like that and I think for 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon is behind it, and it's got a pretty 127 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: good cast, but all from Amazon. Yeah, my best of 128 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: the month would be not Get the Cabin, which I've 129 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: already done my full review, my spoiler free review. That 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,679 Speaker 1: is one you didn't go with me to see in theaters. 131 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: I guess I did not go to two this month too, 132 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: But I think you would have enjoyed Knock at the 133 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: Cabin minus some of the violets, because I've never enjoyed 134 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: an m Night Shamalan movie never. They freaked me out. 135 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Interesting what about it? Because it's kind of suspenseful, mysterious, paranormal. 136 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: I don't do any of that. Have you watched the 137 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: movie me I hide under the Blanket. I once asked 138 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: you to fast forward through something because it scared me. 139 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: But even now, sitting here at the end of the month, 140 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: as much as I've talked about this movie since it 141 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: came out, I still stand by it being my favorite 142 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: of the year and the one so far the really 143 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: only noteworthy movie that's come out that I feel if 144 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: you haven't seen it and you're into this type of movie, 145 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: you need to watch it to determine for yourself. Because 146 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: I still think it's a hit or miss movie. For 147 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: most people. You can watch an M Night Shamalan movie 148 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: like you and not get it, not be fully into it. 149 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: You think it's terrible, but somebody else like me watch 150 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it and completely love it. So I think it's kind 151 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: of like a love or hate type director. I feel 152 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: a little insult to my intelligence that I wouldn't get it. 153 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: I think I could get a night Shamalan movie. I 154 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: don't think it takes i Q. I mean I consider 155 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: myself pretty smart. I didn't mean not get it as 156 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: an understand it, but I mean like not get it 157 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: in your soul. Kay, resonate with you. There we go. 158 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: That is the word. I was looking a better word. 159 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: But I still stand by that one being my favorite 160 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: out of the entire month. So we'll move on now 161 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: to talk about our worst. What is the worst thing 162 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: you watched this month? I'm so sad it's the worst. 163 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: It's another rom com. It is going to be your 164 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: place for mine with recent Ashton Terrible on Netflix. Absolute garbage, 165 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to anyone who loved it. Sorry Reese, 166 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: if you happen to hear this, I love you. I'm 167 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: the target demographic for a rom com. I love it. 168 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: I love it. It It makes me feel good inside, like 169 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: I will watch a Hallmark movie at Christmas. It used 170 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: to be a lot more into them, not just Christmas, 171 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: but I've I've narrowed it down to just Christmas. And 172 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: it was it was bad. It was it had the 173 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: makings to be a good movie. It's like when I 174 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: try to make a recipe and something goes wrong and 175 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: it just like falls flats, Like when I made brownies 176 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: the other day and I overbaked them and then they 177 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: were terrible. It's like everything that went into the brownies 178 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: was great and then they just came out this one. 179 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: I was glad you didn't like as well, because I 180 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: feel like I have two different modes when I watch 181 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: a movie. I can watch it as somebody who is 182 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: going your critique it later, and I can also watch 183 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: it knowing that it's something that you want to watch, 184 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: and I'm just there to enjoy. I was actually interested 185 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: in watching this movie because of the two leads, but 186 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: within the first twenty minutes of it, I was like, 187 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: what is this? And the entire first hour of this 188 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: movie probably could have been twenty minutes. It was insane 189 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: to me. The whole movie could have been zero minutes. 190 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't think that far. I just think that there 191 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: was something in the making of this movie that was 192 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: just completely phoned in. The script felt like they had 193 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: one scene and then we're writing everything as they went along. 194 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: The acting was very tough to watch because since Reese 195 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher's characters are in two different cities 196 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: that about basically the entire movie. Ashton Kutcher do not 197 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: have the acting ability that Reese Witherspoon does to only 198 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: talk and do one sided acting, because when he was 199 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: talking into FaceTime, just on his end, it looked like 200 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: he was reading his lines like this, Yeah, this is 201 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: me talking to Reese Winnerspoon. My problem was more so 202 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: with him, like Reese could do a rom common Er Sleep, 203 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: but he's done a good rom com. No strength of 204 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: the one of my favorite movies. I would argue though, 205 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: that aside from his not great performance in this, I 206 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: just didn't love Reese Witherspoon's character. No, her character, Debbie 207 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: was a little bit. Debbie didn't do much for me. 208 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: Debbie was a downer. Debbie was a downer. Debbie was 209 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: an overprotective Helicopter Mom Downer. Yeah, the entire storyline for her, 210 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: her goals in this movie, the way she reacted to things. 211 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I just felt like they could have gave that character 212 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more depth and it would have probably 213 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: been a better movie. Have Jesse Williams. We also had 214 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: Zoe Chow in both movies, Your Place, Remind and Somebody 215 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: I used to know. I thought she was great in 216 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Your Place Remind as kind of Freeze's sidekick friend. Yeah. 217 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: These was a battling Valentine's Day movies. We watched them 218 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: on the same day. Yeah, so I felt like we 219 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: got our polar opposites there. So I would say, your 220 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: Place or mine, don't spend your time on it. Somebody 221 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: that I used to know, I'd say, it's a little 222 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: bit rountier, there's nudity, and it's a little bit more adult. Yeah, 223 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: so it's not so much of an easy rom com. 224 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: That's fair. So what would you rate Your Place Your Mind? 225 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: One out of five? Hidden Manuscripts one out of five? 226 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: I think I would have gone less on that. I'd 227 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: have gone point five one because of adverse furthererspin and 228 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: I am a big fan of verse. She is the 229 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: one she is the one. She got a point five 230 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: on my scale. The worst thing I watched this month 231 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: wasn't a new movie. It was Now You See Me two, 232 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: which came out in twenty sixteen. And the reason I 233 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: even stumbled upon this movie I remember watching Now You 234 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: See Me a while back and I rewatched it because 235 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: we were going to Washington, d C. And that was 236 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: one of the only movies available on the plane. Side note, 237 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: can we have a little tangent about how irritating the 238 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: HBO Max interfaces on the app on your phone? Because 239 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: we both downloaded things to watch on the plane. If 240 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't start it before you're off 241 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: of Wi Fi, it won't show up. What's the point 242 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: of downloading it? Yeah, I just wanted to finish Gossip Girl. 243 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: HBO Max is the only service I found that the 244 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: app does that. So originally what I did I had 245 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: downloaded the first two John Wick movies because I wanted 246 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: to watch them before they left. HBO Max had him downloaded, 247 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: had him que it up. That's all I wanted to 248 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: do on this plane. Went to click it and that's 249 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: when we found out it wouldn't load, and I was like, 250 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: it's downloaded, it's there, HBO Max, what's going on? So 251 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: I resorted to Southwest and what they have available to 252 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: watch for free? I'd basically seen everything, and I was like, 253 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: now you see me, Like it'd been so long since 254 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: I've seen that movie. I wanted to check it out again. 255 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: And that almost feels like a movie that was made 256 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: to be watched on an airplane service. And if you 257 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: haven't seen it or don't remember what this movie is about, 258 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: it's this group of magicians that get together and rob 259 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: a rich person. So they go and do these performances 260 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: and then they make off with a heist. So sounds 261 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: pretty ridiculous. But what he Harrelson is in it. The 262 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: cast is great, Yeah, Franco, Yeah, Jesse Eisenberg, And it's 263 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: weird that it has such a great cast. But it's 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: almost like this movie's kind of dumb. Mark Ruffalo, is 265 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: it it? Illa Fisher? Right, Yeah, she's in the first one. 266 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: So I watched the first one on the plane and 267 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: that was back in January, and then we were in 268 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: February and I was like, I think they made a 269 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: part two to that that I never watched. So then 270 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: I went over to tub to watch this movie. That 271 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: should have been my first indication that the movie wasn't 272 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: going to be great. If you don't know what TUB is. 273 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: They did the commercial for the Super Bowl that made 274 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: everyone think that you sat on your remote and change 275 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: the channel. Yeah, and I think before that I had 276 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe seen one thing on TUB. But I went back 277 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: to watch Now You See Me Too, and it's one 278 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: of the worst movies not only I watched this month, 279 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: but probably ever. Now You See Me. He should not 280 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: have received a sequel. And the reason this movie was 281 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: so bad it did so many tropes that I hate 282 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to sequels. It turns out that Woody 283 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: Harrelson had an evil twin brother, and then they bring 284 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: him out. So there's this scene where it's Woody Harrelson 285 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: and his evil twin brother with hair having a conversation, 286 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: and I feel like that is up there with the 287 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: tropes that I hate, the long loss hidden twin, right 288 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: up there with somebody being hit by a bus. I 289 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: hate somebody getting hit by a bus in a movie. 290 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: It feels so cheesy, it feels so lazy in the 291 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: writing where they just wrap up somebody's character being killed 292 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: because they get hit by a bus. Mysterious long loss, 293 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: Hidden Twin is up there, and Hit by a Bus 294 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: is probably number one. But this movie was so bad. 295 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm so surprised it was even made and that the 296 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: people were still associated with this with minus Sila Fisher, 297 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: who was not in this, one should have been called nice. 298 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: Didn't see this now you shouldn't see this. So I 299 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: would give this movie a point five as well. It 300 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: was a waste of time, an utter waste of time. 301 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just sometimes go back to 302 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: watching things from the twenty tens thinking they'd be a 303 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: little bit better than they were if I missed them. 304 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: Then I was halfway through the movie and you were like, 305 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: this is stupid, and you kept watching. Yeah, because it's 306 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: the plot. Morgan Freeman's in it. Yeah, the plot gives 307 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: you enough to make you want to keep watching it 308 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: even though it's bad. Evil Twin made you keep even 309 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: though it's bad and not really going anywhere. You just 310 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: want to know, all right, what's going to be the 311 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: finale in this movie? I'll keep watching. So I think 312 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: that's why this movie is a perfect movie to be 313 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: seen on an airplane or on cable TV. No, but 314 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: now you see me was good enough to be on 315 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: an airplane. Now you see me. Two wasn't even airplane. 316 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: That's true to be, materials to be. This is not airplane, 317 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: not cable to be. But those are the best and 318 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: worst things we've seen this month. Now, kind of a 319 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: weak month. Yeah, February was a little bit weak. It 320 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: usually is. January and February are what are known as 321 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: dump months, where a bunch of random movies come out 322 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: that really have no place within the rest of the year. 323 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: Usually get like a horror movie in January, and then 324 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: of course all the rom comes coming out around Valentine's Day. 325 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: But next month, that's a great month. We got Creed, 326 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: we got john Wick. There are so many great movies 327 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: coming out in March. I feel like every single Friday 328 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: of March has a really big movie. So go down 329 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: in February and then next month when we do this episode, 330 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: I'll be like man, which one was the best? See 331 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: and we all segue us into the next thing. We 332 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: thought we were going to have a real hit on 333 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: our hands with ant Man. Yeah, that was a big 334 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: one of the month. That was so the other movies 335 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: we saw in theaters. Ant Man was one, what did 336 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: you think about it, which you're not really the biggest 337 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: ant Man fan. Yeah, out of the Marvel series, it's 338 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of a Doctor Strange to me, 339 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: Like a little week Doctor Strange was even a little 340 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: more interesting to me. Oh yeah. I like the visual 341 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: effects of Doctor Strange, like I thought the multi Verse 342 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: because that was the last one, right Multiverse. I thought, 343 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: like all the visuals were really good. Aunt man, we're 344 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: talking about this after the movie, like it gets into 345 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: like quantum it's a quantum realm and then they kind 346 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: of start talking about like quantum physics and quantum math, 347 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: and I don't want to have have to think that hard 348 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: in a movie. So it was. It was Paul Rudd, sweet, 349 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: Paul Rudd. Jonathan Majors was great. The other movie we 350 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: watched in theaters that we never got to review was Missing. 351 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did see that, which was the sequel 352 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: to Searching, and in Missing, it kind of flips the script. 353 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: In the original it's the dad trying to find his 354 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: daughter and in this one it's the daughter trying to 355 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: find her mom. And the novel thing about this movie 356 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: is that all takes place over some kind of technology, 357 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: So whether it be FaceTime, the screen recordings of emails. 358 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: It's all from that perspective of somebody's computer or somebody's phone, 359 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: which I feel like you can only do so many 360 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: of these movies before that novelty wears off. But Searching 361 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: was so good. We were excited to see this one 362 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: because we kind of just watched Searching on a whim 363 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: of Yeah, we watched that like when I first moved 364 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: to Nashville when everything was still shut down. We watched 365 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: like a movie, and I we were trying to just 366 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: find anything. We realized check out Searching, and it was 367 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: really good. It's kind of true crime live action in 368 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: a way of you're watching all the events unfold in 369 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: real time in the movie and trying to figure it 370 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: out yourself. So I think that's the fun part of it. 371 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: It's a mystery that you're trying to take all the 372 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: clues that are presented to you and you decide and 373 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: figure out what's going to happen. I think that's what 374 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: I enjoyed about watching this movie in theaters is because 375 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: I like hearing other people's commentary sometimes as the movie 376 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: was going along, Although somebody talked a lot during this movie. 377 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: We went to go see it. Oh yeah, there was 378 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: a row, an entire row in front of us, and 379 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: they wouldn't shut up. But I was trying to figure 380 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: it out. And the fun thing about this is paying 381 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: attention to everything on the screen because you see like 382 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: their text messages up, you see emails, you see people's 383 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: names listed on the call log. I was looking into 384 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: all that. I don't think it helped me figure it 385 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: out in this movie, but I felt like this one 386 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: was somehow better and somehow also a little bit worse 387 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: than the original. I felt it was a little bit 388 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: more dramatic. There were a few more twists in this one. 389 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: There were more twists, which I think is what makes 390 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: a movie like this interesting. But you also had to 391 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: suspend reality a little bit more in this one to 392 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: where in the first one, I felt it was a 393 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: little bit more straightforward, like this could all happen in 394 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: the real world. Yeah, some of the things in this 395 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: one were like, they're really gonna do that, Like it 396 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: was a fun in theater experience. I would never watch 397 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: it again because you already know what happens, and I 398 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: just don't really know who that movie is for. It 399 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: was kind of a novel idea. Yeah, it was more 400 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 1: novel than some of the other things. That's what I'm 401 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna start judging movies on the novelty. Yeah, and it 402 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: reminded me of one of my favorite horror movies, Friended, 403 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: which is a movie that I enjoy because it all 404 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: takes place over Skype. I wouldn't say a guilty pleasure 405 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: movie of mine, but I know that movie is not good, 406 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: but I like it for some reason. They're just those 407 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: movies sometimes, like I know it's on paper not good 408 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: that I can't really recommend it to somebody and be like, 409 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: you have to watch this movie. I just enjoy it 410 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: for some odd reason. So maybe that is what also 411 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: missing is like would you watch another sequel if they 412 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: made a trilogy out of this? I honestly probably would. Yeah, 413 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: I would do it again. Having the Regal passes is 414 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: not an ad for Regal, but as usual Regal, if 415 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: you would like to sponsor us, let us know Regal Unlimited. 416 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: We only pay the tax. It's like fifty five cents 417 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: to go watch a movie as many times as we 418 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 1: want in a month. Yeah. We see a lot of 419 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: things that we probably it's true, wouldn't see. Sometimes are bored, 420 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: and we're just like, I see a movie, yeah, and 421 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: then if it's not good, we could just leave. We 422 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: have left during a couple of movies in the past year, 423 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: and I feel no remorse about leaving. Hey, they're so 424 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: bad and there's still two hours left. I'm out of there, 425 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, they've already gotten there's seven dollars 426 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: out of my Diapepsi the concession stand. And those are 427 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: movies that end up not getting reviewed because they're that terrible. 428 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: A couple more things we watched this month is after 429 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: we went to go see Adam Sandler Live in Nashville. 430 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: You now want to go on a wormhole of watching 431 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movies. And there was one that we realized 432 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: we never watched that came out on Netflix back in 433 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen called Murder Mystery and was one of Netflix's 434 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: like highest streamed movies, which he signed a huge Netflix 435 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: movie to two hundred and fifty million dollars for four films, 436 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: saying four films, and they're all done through his production 437 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: company too, and they're not necessarily I feel like he's 438 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: out of his really bad movie era, the era that 439 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: came in the late two thousand's early twenty tens, when 440 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: he was just putting out really bad movies in theaters. 441 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: But also Adam Sandler can flop and he's like, okay, yeah, 442 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: And even though these movies still get ripped a shred 443 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: online with critics, they have some of the lowest rout 444 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: Tomatoes scores. When Netflix puts him out, a lot of 445 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: people watch them. Yeah, we watched it because the second 446 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: one is coming out next month. Yeah, it's coming out 447 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: on March thirty first, So we're like, let's see if 448 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: this one's any good, and then that will lead us 449 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: into the sequel. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, 450 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: I think because it wasn't as Zany off the wall 451 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: as I was expecting from an Adam Sandler movie. It 452 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: kind of gave a knives Out feel, maybe like a 453 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: little bit lesser knives Out. It was like a five 454 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: dollar Walmart DVD bin I don't know, it was a 455 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: five dollar Walmart DVD ten dollar because it's not the 456 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: acting level of Knives Out. It's not the star power 457 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: quality of that. I don't know. It's got Adam Sandler 458 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: and Jen Aniston. How much more star power do you 459 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Need but Knives Out has like eight tray List actors. 460 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: So Jennifer Aniston looked so good in this movie. I 461 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: think they're good, a good duo together. They were fun 462 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: together and I bought it. I liked both of their characters. 463 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: But it's a movie if you have really low expectations 464 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: going into it, you can enjoy and probably one you 465 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: can watch with the entire family. There's nothing that crazy 466 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: about it. Which I was looking back on some of 467 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler's movies as you were going through some of 468 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: the ones you wanted to watch. I went down a wormhole. Yeah, 469 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: you fell asleep after we got home from the Adam 470 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: Sandlers Show, and I was awake till like one am 471 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: on a Wikipedia literally just being like, oh have I 472 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: seen that one? Forgot how good that one is? Oh, 473 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that one. Let me add that to 474 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: the list. And I think that is some of the 475 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: reason of his success is he's never really made a 476 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: full on raunchy comedy. They're usually somewhat family friendly to 477 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: an extent. Maybe tips to scales a little bit on 478 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: some movies, but no F words, probably an S word 479 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: here and there. Cut Gems had some efforts I wouldn't 480 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: consider that an Adam Sandler movie though, but he's in it, 481 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: and he's like the star. I mean, like the ones 482 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: he makes with this production company. Oh okay, I was like, 483 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: like Happy Madison movies, Yes, good, all Happy Madison productions. 484 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: So I feel like that's also been a part of 485 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: his success, is making movies that really the most amount 486 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: of people can enjoy. Also, I'm obsessed with him and 487 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: his wife and the fact that he puts her in 488 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: every film. It's like a little Easter egg, it is. 489 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: But that show cute. The live show is really good. 490 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: I am probably a bigger fan of his comedy than 491 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: you are, and the reason I wanted to go, well, 492 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: we never seen him in any capacity, but I was 493 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: such a fan of his last Netflix special and this 494 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: is essentially what he does in that special, but live. 495 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: And it's just crazy to see how influential his movies 496 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: have been because when we went, there were people in 497 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: Bobby Bouche jerseys and Happy Gilmore jerseys. So if you 498 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: have a chance to see Adam Sandler coming to your city, 499 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. It's part music, part stand up. 500 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: They're surprises. It's also just cool to like see this 501 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna sound cheesy, but to be in the same room 502 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: as Adam Sandler, I found myself saying that too. Adam Sandler, 503 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: like he has his career has spanned like my whole 504 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: lifetime beyond, but like I know him from things for 505 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: me when I was really little, and it's like WHOA, 506 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: Like this is cool. It was cool to see him there. Yeah, 507 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: he had some surprises which we won't spoil, but they 508 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: were really cool. And the final thing that we watched 509 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: in February, and the reason we watched it is because 510 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: our internet went out for five days. It's terrible and 511 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: normally I can fix the internet. It's like living in 512 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: the Stone Age. It's like reboot the router, maybe unplug something, 513 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: run some kind of diagnostic and get the network back up. 514 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: But I tried all that, could not do it. It 515 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: was five days until they could get somebody out here 516 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: to check on it. Five days is also really hard 517 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: when you work from home. Yes, our hot spots were 518 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: burning on our flower working off a hot spot, which 519 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: I mean shout out to even having that capability, and 520 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad it powered like zoom calls. But it was 521 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: like anytime I would not like reset it for like 522 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: an hour of the hot spot would die and then 523 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: my Microsoft outlook. There were a couple times where I 524 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: was like, wow, no one's emailed me, and then I 525 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: looked down and it's like disconnected like two hours ago, 526 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: and it's like a crap. And what that led us 527 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: to do was bust out the blue ray collection and 528 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: to like talk to each other. It was a rough 529 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: five days. So the last thing we watched before we 530 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: got our internet backup was Spider Man No Way Home 531 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: for probably the fifth time. I still like that movie. Yeah, 532 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm half watched to half write a book, but it 533 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: holds up. It reminded me of how much of a 534 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: Zendaya fan am and how much I want them to 535 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: do another one, and how much I want and Tom 536 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: Holland to stay together forever. You think, are they still together? Yeah? 537 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: So do you know different? No, don't break my heart 538 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: like that. Ever since you went on social media, I 539 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: don't really see anything anymore. But they did confirm that 540 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: they will be making a Spider Man four. They're working 541 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: on the story, which after rewatching it now for the 542 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: fifth time, they have to make one more. Yeah. They 543 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: left us with way too big of like a What's 544 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: going to happen next? So that is it? That is 545 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: our best and worst in our February movie round up? 546 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: Anything else you want to say? Kelsey, we don't recommend 547 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: TV shows here, so I can't go on that team. 548 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: Can I get a TV show plug? Though? Okay, you 549 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: could do one. Thank you. If you have HBO Max 550 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: and you're in two comedies you like Mindy Kaling, you 551 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: must watch The Sex Lives of College Girls. Odd title, 552 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: I know, but it is hysterical. I watched all twenty 553 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: episodes and no, don't know six days. Yeah, I watched 554 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: maybe half of those with you, and I really like it. Dude. 555 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: It's funny. So if you just need something like light quirky. Obviously, 556 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: as the title says, there is some some nudity, some 557 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: adult themes, so don't watch with your children around. But 558 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: it's hilarious. I give it a gold star. That's probably 559 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: if we were doing TV shows, that would be the 560 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: best thing I've watched in February. And for me, if 561 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: I was doing TV shows, it would be also an 562 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: HBO Max original. Well, I guess it's just HBO. But 563 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: the last of us, yes, who are loving that? I 564 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: have watched every single episode and been on every single 565 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: episode and my kind of show. That's our random recommendations. 566 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: So there you go. A small TV moment here on 567 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: the podcast. We'll come back and talk about Cocaine Bear, 568 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: and then in the trailer Park we'll talk about the Machine. Time. 569 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: Now for a spoiler free movie review, let's talk about 570 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: Cocaine Bear. Ocine Bear. Say it with me. Although I 571 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: feel that this movie is unspoilable because all it is 572 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: is exactly what it says in the title, A Bear 573 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: does Cocaine You get. Cocaine Bear based loosely on a 574 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: true story. It's about this five hundred pound black bear 575 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: stumbles upon some cocaine in a Georgia forest, eats all 576 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: these bricks of cocaine, and then goes on a cocaine 577 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: fueled rampage, killing a bunch of people in the forest 578 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: and destroying a bunch of things. That's really all you 579 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: need to know going into this movie. And I had 580 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: somewhat high expectations oddly for this movie because I felt 581 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: like it has such a sexy title, it has a 582 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: really good cast and a good director. I wanted this 583 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: to be a movie that I could go into completely 584 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: disconnect from reality and just enjoy a bear on cocaine. 585 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: So before I get into my fool thoughts of this movie, 586 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the cocaine bear. Cocaine bear. 587 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: Trailers of dollars worth of cocaine fell from the sky 588 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: this morning in Knoxville, Tennessee. There's more this out there. 589 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: If they dumped it somewhere. I'm looking for my daughter's 590 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: fast as a dangerous place. A lot of cocaine was lost. 591 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: I need you to go and get it. Let's see 592 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: what kind of affect that has on. So that's really 593 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: all you need to know going into this movie. It's 594 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: about a bear who does cocaine. You don't need to 595 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: watch any other movie leading up to it, which I 596 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: know they did some promo surrounding this, kind of poking 597 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: fun and all the Marvel movies. You don't need to 598 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: watch Kujoe, you don't need to watch Jaws, you don't 599 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: need to watch Anaconda or Lake Placid. This is the 600 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: only movie you need to know going into this. So 601 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: they poked some fun at movies like that, and I 602 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: think that's kind of what we need in this world 603 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: of reboots and remakes. And everything interconnecting. We just need 604 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: a really good movie that at the core of it 605 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: embodies all the things that people go to the movies 606 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: to do. And it's what I said earlier, disconnect from 607 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: reality watch something completely ridiculous but also well done, which 608 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: I think is the key difference here in Cocaine Bear. 609 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: So aside from just the fact of it being a 610 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: bear going on a cocaine field rampage, I think what 611 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Banks, who directed this movie, did a really good 612 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: job at was interweaving the storylines between all the other characters, 613 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: so you have all these other things going on that 614 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: you actually care about, and I think that's important for 615 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: a movie with a plot this ridiculous, is to give 616 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: us some experiences with these characters, and even though it's 617 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: not the most fleshed out characters of all time, it 618 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: gives you something a little bit more to grasp onto, 619 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: which I think is what ended up keeping this movie 620 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: being something like Sharknado that is fun on a very 621 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: small level, but aside from that, there's no real substance there. 622 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: What you have in Cocaine Bear is the interweavings of 623 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: all these other characters lives. You have the people connected 624 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: to the drug dealer who dropped all the cocaine in 625 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: this location. There they are trying to retrieve it and 626 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: getting it back to the drug lords. So that is 627 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: where Rayleiota and O'Shea Jackson's character come into play. And 628 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: then you have Carrie Russell and her daughter who she 629 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: and a friend went out into the forest after skipping school. 630 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: Carrie Russell finds out that's where she is and she 631 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: goes to try to rescue her. You have a group 632 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: of punks who have been terrorizing hikers, and then you 633 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: just have some other hikers and park rangers who just 634 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: happened to be there and get thrown into the mix 635 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: as well. So you have these interweaving storylines, which I 636 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: always find entertaining because once one storyline gets boring, you 637 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: move to the next one. It's pretty NonStop action throughout 638 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: the entire movie, not a whole lot of dialogue or 639 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: story building you really need to get into in this movie. 640 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: So I think at the core of this movie, if 641 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: you had to kind of put a scale of killer 642 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: animal movies, I would put Jaws up there at the 643 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: very highest. You can be the very highest level a 644 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: killer animal movies, and at the very bottom, I would 645 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: put another shark movie like Sharknado, where still in the 646 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: same category but just completely ridiculous, and in the middle 647 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: I would put movies like Anaconda and Kujo. So I 648 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: think that is where Cocaine Bear lands right there in 649 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: the middle of completely ridiculous but also still grounded in 650 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: reality to where it doesn't just feel like you're watching 651 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: something too bizarre the entire time. And the violence in 652 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: this movie is pretty exaggerated. The kill scenes are pretty 653 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: gruesome and violent, and there's a lot of blood, some intestines, 654 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,959 Speaker 1: so it gets pretty intense. And the thing you have 655 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: to suspend the most belief on is the fact that 656 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: this bear could take all this cocaine and not die 657 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: from a heart attack. So aside from that, you end 658 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: up kind of rooting for the bear. The bear didn't 659 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: do anything wrong. It stumbled onto the cocaine and then 660 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: form this addiction and a result of that is just 661 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: killing everybody get encounters. But the thing I really took 662 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: away from Cocaine Bear and why I think it's a 663 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: movie that we need right now in the world, it 664 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: really came down to the in theater experience. I went 665 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: into a pack theater on a Thursday night, and everybody 666 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: there was just wanting to have a good time, and 667 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: there was also a diverse crowd. I sat next to 668 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: a woman probably in her late fifties early sixties, somebody 669 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: I really wouldn't expect to go watch a movie like this, 670 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: but had a great time. The entire movie was laughing 671 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: at things and commenting on things, and I think this 672 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: is a movie that warns that you don't really have 673 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: to pay attention to the plot, you don't have to 674 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: focus in on anything and have complete silence. That camaraderie 675 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: and that laughter add to the experience of this movie, 676 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: and I think that is what we need. I think 677 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: my favorite performance was probably O'Shea Jackson, just because I 678 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: really liked his character. And you have Carrie Russell, who 679 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't really remember the last thing I saw her in, 680 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: but you realize that she is a really great actress 681 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: even in this situation. And I think at the end 682 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: of the day, this is what we'll separate Cocaine Bear 683 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: from some other bad movies that may try to replicate 684 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: this formula of just giving a different animal a different substance, 685 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: or just putting another animal on cocaine is the fact 686 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: that they were able to get some really good actors 687 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: to make this story believable. So aside from the violent 688 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: nature of this movie, I still wouldn't consider it a 689 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: horror movie. I would consider it a comedy. And I 690 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: think when it comes to just making a straight ahead comedy, 691 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: you're probably going to fail, so you have to add 692 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: something else. It either has to be a horror comedy 693 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: an action comedy. There has to be something else to 694 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: a movie now to resonate with us and actually make 695 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: us laugh, and this movie did that because of its 696 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: ridiculous nature and over the top grew some violence, but 697 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: also adding some jokes in there, adding in some callbacks 698 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: throughout the movie. I think that made it one of 699 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: the funniest movies I've seen so far this year and 700 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: probably will because of that bond it formed with just 701 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: these strangers. I was in a theater with watching a 702 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: ridiculous movie. So this is a movie I wasn't expecting 703 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: to feel this way afterwards, but I think it warranted 704 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: a Cocaine Bear two, maybe even a Cocaine Bear three. 705 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: I think they may have something here that'll get audiences 706 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: and people like me who just want to go and 707 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: watch something completely turn off your brain. And also that's 708 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: not so interconnected to a bunch of other movies. And 709 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: also this movie is only an hour and a half, 710 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: which I think they probably recognize that there wasn't enough 711 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: story to make it any longer. Just a plot alone 712 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: doesn't warrant more than ninety minutes, so I think that 713 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: was also key into keeping me entertained throughout this entire movie. 714 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: So as much as I enjoyed this movie, I do 715 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: feel like it has a little bit of a threshold. 716 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: Nothing with a plot like this I think would enter 717 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: the four range on the rating scale. So it's at 718 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: the very tip top of what a movie like this 719 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: could be. So for Cocaine Bear, I would give it 720 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: three point five out of five Double bags. It's time 721 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: to head down to movie Mike treit Laar Paul. I 722 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about a movie called The Machine. So 723 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: if you're familiar with the comedian Bert Krisher, who you've 724 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: probably seen a clip of it on TikTok. But he's 725 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: a very funny comedian. He is known for getting on 726 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: stage and ripping off his shirt. And this entire movie 727 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: called The Machine is based on a story he told 728 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: in a stand up special and a story that has 729 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: gone viral. The YouTube video alone has fifty million views 730 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: on Facebook. This story has forty million views. And it is, 731 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: as far as he says and as far as I know, 732 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: based on a true story about a time he robbed 733 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: a train in Russia with the Russian mafia. So I 734 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: just love the origin of how this movie came together, 735 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: going from being a stand up bit and a story 736 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: that he was known for, and then it turning into 737 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: a meta comedy where he plays himself. His dad is 738 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker, and it's taking that story 739 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: and turning to get it into a full theatrical release. 740 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: So I think, just for him, how exciting I like 741 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: to see comedians get a chance to be on the 742 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: big screen. That's inspiring to me. So before I get 743 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: into more about this movie, here's just a little bit 744 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: of the machine trailer. You paid money to see my 745 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: son tell his made up story about robbing a train 746 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: in Dusha for the million time. It's a true story. 747 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: Are you the machine man? The party's outside? Twenty three 748 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: years ago you told the only thing my father ever 749 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: cared about. This some sort of TikTok prank. I'm about 750 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: to lose much nation. It's definitely a prank. Clearly that's 751 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: a fake gun or not, You're coming with me back 752 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: to Russian Russia. So the movie takes place twenty three 753 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: years after the original story that inspired it. It's about 754 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: Bert's character and as a strange father and the past 755 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: comes to haunt him. There's this Russian person who comes 756 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: and takes him back to the Motherland to pay for 757 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: his crimes that he committed when he was in college. 758 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: So now together him and his father must retrace the 759 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: steps of his younger self in the midst of a 760 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: war between a sociopathic crime family while he attempt to 761 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: find some common ground. So, in real life, this movie 762 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: and its actual events happened twenty three years ago. Burt 763 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: was a student at Florida State and he spent a 764 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: summer abroad in Russia, where apparently he just partied, drank 765 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: a lot of vodka, got drunk, and somehow met a 766 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: local mobster and ended up involved in a train robbery. 767 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: So then twenty years later in this movie, a Russian 768 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: gangster shows up at his house and then takes him 769 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: back to Russia. But all of this came because of 770 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: the stand up bit he did in the comedy special 771 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen, so from twenty sixteen to twenty 772 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: twenty three we now have the movie. So that had 773 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: my interest based on the origins of this movie alone, 774 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: because this movie is part meta comedy, being that Bert 775 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: plays himself based on a true story that at least 776 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: he believes, so whether or not all the details that happened, 777 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: even as he tells it in the stand up special, 778 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: are true, we have to take his word and believe 779 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: that at least most of it is true, probably exaggerated 780 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to stand up comedy. And then I 781 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: like seeing Mark Hamill play his dad, which I feel 782 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: like Mark Hamill just gets known for being Luke Skywalker, 783 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: but he's done a lot of great voice acting work, 784 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: probably one of the best jokers to ever do it, 785 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: So I like seeing him in an action comedy like this, 786 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: and it looks like very over the top, ridiculous action comedy. 787 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: There are some scenes in this Red Band trailer where 788 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: Bert accidentally kills a guy and then feels really bad 789 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: about it afterwards, so it looks like a lot of 790 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 1: fun action. Kind of reminds me of nineties comedies from 791 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: back in the day. Maybe I could see Chris Farley 792 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: in a role like this where it's just the normal 793 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: guy who looks like Bert and has to navigate his 794 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: way through this really crazy situation. And I feel the 795 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: same way after watching this trailer that I did when 796 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: I watched a Cocaine Bear trailer. Looks like a bunch 797 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: of NonStop action, ridiculous comedy in a movie where you 798 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: don't have to think a lot while watching it. So 799 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 1: this movie may be a sleeper pick for the summer 800 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: blockbuster slate. The Machine comes out on May twenty sixth, 801 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: twenty three, this week's edition of Movie Bar and that's 802 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: going to do it for another episode here of the podcast. 803 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: But before I go, I gotta get my listeners shout 804 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: out of the week this week, I am going over 805 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: to Instagram and I got a DM from Rebecca Martinez 806 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: who shout out to Rebecca Martinez for being a frequent 807 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: listener of the podcast. This is your first listeners shout out, though, 808 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: because you sent me a DM saying I fully laugh 809 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: because you said Chris Evans not Chris Hemsworth while referencing 810 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: Thor And also, I love the humor in Quantum Mania. 811 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: It's never too late to stop being a dick, So 812 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: thanks Rebecca for pointing that out. I have a tendency 813 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: to do that with actors who have the same first name, 814 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: so Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, I will say those 815 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: completely wrong for some reason, maybe because they're both in 816 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: Marvel movies. They're both Chris's. I'm glad you were able 817 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: to know which one I was actually talking about. I 818 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: do that also with the tom's Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. 819 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: I think before on the podcast somebody called me out 820 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: for say that Tom Cruise was in Forrest Gump. Obviously 821 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: I know it was Tom Hanks, so I'm sure that 822 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: irritates you when you're listening when I get those things wrong, 823 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: But you know what I have to say. I'm only human, 824 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: So I hope you have a great rest of your week. 825 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: Let me know again if you enjoyed the format of 826 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: this end of the month type episode, and we'll do 827 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: it again for March because there are so many great 828 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: movies coming out. Next week I will give my review 829 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: of Create three, which is one of my most anticipated 830 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: movies of the year, and then we have the new 831 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: Screen movie coming out after that, so a lot to 832 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: look forward to here on the podcast. And until next time, 833 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: go out and watch good movies and I will talk 834 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: to you later.
