1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: with you my list of my top ten most iconic 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: movie theme songs of all time. In the movie review, 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: one of my most anticipated films of the world every three, 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: my expectations in the rankings of all the other trade 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: and rocky movies. Yet another, Yes, another live auction remake 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: of a Disney movie. This time we have Peter Pan 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: and Wendy. How many more interpretations of the Peter Pan 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: story can they do? We'll get into all that. Thank 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: you for being here, shout out the song and as 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: the power to make a movie legendary. So I want 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: to share with you what I think are the top 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: ten most iconic movie theme songs of all time. And 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: what this means is these are the theme songs that 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: are the most recognizable. They are the ones that you 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: hear and you immediately know and can place yourself back 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: into that movie theater, back into that living room the 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: first time you watch these movies as a kid or 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: as an adult. These theme songs have the ability to 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: ignite an entire fandom, and some of these theme songs 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: even transcend Some of the movies they are attached to. 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: So let's get into the list and the ground rules 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: are all of these songs are purely instrumentals. We are 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: looking at just compositions made for movies. You're not going 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: to hear anything like my Heart Will Go On for 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Titanic or Lose Yourself for eight Miles. We're just looking 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: at instrumentals. And what we are going to find is 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: there are some composers who just dominate movie scores and 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: dominate theme songs. So we're going to be very familiar 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: with a lot of these names by the end of this. 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: So what I'll do is I'll play about ten to 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of each of these to give you some 34 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: time to identify the movie, and of course there will 35 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: always be some honorable mentions. So let's kick it off 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: now here is number ten. Can't you name that movie? 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: That is from Hans Zimmer and the movie is Pirates 38 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean. Hans Zimmer has done so many great 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: scores for films from The Dark Night to Inception. He 40 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: is known for creating very big and grand sounding scores. 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: Because I think with this song alone, it kind of 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: takes the Pirates of the Caribbean movies up to an 43 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: entirely different level of that entire franchise, which out of 44 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: all those movies, I was a fan of about two 45 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: point five of them, and the movies were so expensive 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: to make. A lot of that was to pay Johnny Depp, 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: which I think his charisma is really what made those 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: movies successful. But it was all the big ships and 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the big fight sequences, and it was Hans Zimmer's music 50 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: at the core. That was the glue that kept that 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: entire movie together, whether you realize it or not. And 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: I think as we look at all these on this list, 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: you realize how important music is to movies, and not 54 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: just the music with the lyrics, but the scores themselves, 55 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: because in our life we don't really have scores to 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: the things we do. Imagine if we did. Imagine if 57 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: you going to the grocery store or trying to make 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: it to a doctor's appointment on time, had a movie 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: score to it, what would that sound like? Would it 60 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: be more inspiring? Yeah? Probably. You can make even the 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: more mundane things seem more exciting and grant with a 62 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: great score, and that is what these composers do. By 63 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: doing this list, I've become more fascinated with scores. So 64 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: if you've been watching my Instagram stories lately, I'm putting 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: a score on everything, and Hans Zimmer is one of 66 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: my favorite to put on my Instagram story right now. 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: So I'll probably get tired of this trend in another 68 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: week and a half or so, just because that's how 69 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: I do things. But Hans Zimmer is my dude. I 70 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: feel like they were just looking for some generic pirate 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: music when it came to this movie, but he took 72 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: it up on an entirely different level and spensive movie 73 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: franchise like this needs a big, expensive sounding theme song, 74 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: and that is what Hans Zimmer delivered. So I put 75 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: him at number ten with Pirates of the Caribbean. Here 76 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: is number nine. Can you name that movie? Oh? This movie? 77 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: This theme song hasn't me hyped. I hit that and 78 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: I instantly wanted to leap out of this chair. That 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: is from Danny Elfman and the movie is Batman like 80 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: that song hit different. As a kid, I didn't know 81 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: anything about compositions or composers or theme songs. I just 82 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: remember when that song came on, I was about to 83 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: watch something awesome. I was about to see Batman. So 84 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: even though I didn't realize it at the time, this was, 85 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: without a doubt, my first favorite movie theme song as 86 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: a kid. And what really put it into perspective is 87 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: whenever they came out with a flash trailer, they reveal 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Michael Keaton coming back as Batman, and you get this 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: different version of this theme song, and I realized how 90 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: iconic those notes are. Hearing that kind of took me 91 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: back to when I first saw Batman for the first time, 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: so it felt so much more nostalgic. And I feel 93 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: like Danny Elfman is a musical wizard when it comes 94 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: to compositions. They just have a different sound to them, 95 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: And I think the difference in just having a generic 96 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: orchestra sound and something that's actually a theme song has 97 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: some real detail and something that evokes a little bit 98 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: of emotion in you with just some instrumental That is 99 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: what Danny Elfman does. So that's why I put Batman 100 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: and his theme song at number nine. Here we go 101 00:05:50,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: with number eight. Can you name the movie? This one 102 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: is unlike any other theme song on the list. It 103 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: even has me speaking in a different tone. It is 104 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: from John Williams and the movie is Harry Potter and 105 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: this theme song, it's so different than all the other 106 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: theme songs on the list. It's not as big, it's 107 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: not as epic. It's quiet, it's ominous, it is magical, 108 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: and it sets the tone for not only the first 109 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Harry Potter movie, but for the entire Harry Potter franchise. 110 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: And that is what a good theme song does. And 111 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: there is just something about this being the first thing 112 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: you hear in a Harry Potter movie combined with the 113 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: nighttime scenes. So this theme song in an opening scene 114 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: are what dreams are made of. It's one that I 115 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: wish I could go back and experience for the first time. 116 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: So at number eight is the Harry Potter theme song 117 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: from John Williams. Now, as I'm talking in this different tone, 118 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: we'll switch it up now and move on to number seven. 119 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: Can you name this movie as a very charging sound 120 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: to it? It is from Alan Silvestri and the movie 121 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: is The Avengers. This theme song is huge for many 122 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: reasons that feeling it gives you. It just has that 123 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: superhero feeling to it, and the theme is huge for 124 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Marvel and their branding. I felt like this was very 125 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: intentional of them always having this at the beginning of 126 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: the Avengers movies and you see their now iconic opening 127 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: sequence with all the comic book page is reminding you 128 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: of all their characters and really establishing their dominance when 129 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: it comes to superhero comic book adaptations. So there's something 130 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: about seeing those comic book sequences and this playing underneath 131 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: that is just engraved into my brain. And even now 132 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: going into watching a Marvel movie, even though they change 133 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: it up a little bit, even though we don't always 134 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: have this Avenger's theme song underneath it anymore, it's really 135 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: created a cohesive branding to the Marvel movies and it 136 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: gives you that feeling of like, yeah, I'm here sitting 137 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: in this movie theater and something spectacular is about to 138 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: come on to the screen. So props to them for 139 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: really driving that into all of their movies. And I 140 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: love how this song was used through all of the 141 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: Avengers films and it subtenly became iconic for me, and 142 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: I think it's because of the scale of all these 143 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: Marvel movies. To me, it became the best superhero music. 144 00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: Sure you could argue for Superman, which is big, grand sounding, 145 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: but for me, it is the Avengers so I put 146 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: it at number seven. Moving on now to number six, 147 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: can you name this movie? We have another John Williams 148 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: entry on the list. And as we move through this list, 149 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: if I've done it to the best of my abilities 150 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: and how I set out to make this episode is 151 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: they will become more and more recognizable as we go. 152 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: You should be able to get them with and I 153 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: would say at least three notes. Some of these you 154 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: can get within that first note. This one, I would 155 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: say maybe the first three notes. But it's so instantly recognizable, 156 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: and this movie feels like an adventure to me. And 157 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: the movie I am talking about is Indiana Jones. When 158 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I hear this song, I see Harrison Ford. I see 159 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: him in the get up, I see him with the whip, 160 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: I see the title sequence. I see those orange and 161 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: yellow letters in that glorious fun and it embodies all 162 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: the things that I look for going into a summer blockbuster. 163 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see the new Indiana Jones movie. 164 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: And much like I did in the flash trailer, I 165 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: also realized the power of the theme song in the 166 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: latest Indiana Jones trailer because you see Harrison Ford. But 167 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: there's something about hearing those notes and hearing that music 168 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: that really brings it all together. And as a movie fan, 169 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put any of the Indiana Jones in my 170 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: top ten, not even top twenty movies of all time. 171 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: But I can respect this song. I can respect what 172 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: that franchise means to movie history. So I feel like 173 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: this song even transcends any one individual Indiana Jones movie. 174 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: So that is why I put it at number six. 175 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: Moving into the top five, here is number five. Can 176 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: you name the movie we got back to back? John 177 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 1: Williams entries here, one note is really all you need 178 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: on this one, and the movie is Jaws. Even before 179 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: it gets into the vicious orchestra part, you already know 180 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: what this movie is. You know exactly the feeling you 181 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: get when you hear this song. And what I love 182 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: about this movie theme song is that I really haven't 183 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: seen this done in a while, and I feel like 184 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: more movies could benefit from this. But the movie theme 185 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: song itself personifies the monster in the movie, and that 186 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: is iconic in itself. When you hear this song in 187 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: the movie, you know that means you're about to see 188 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: a glimpse of Draws. He's about to kill somebody he's 189 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: about to attack. And I was watching Cane Bear recently 190 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: and I left that movie thinking if they would have 191 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: had that approach with the Cocaine Bear, of creating some 192 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: kind of iconic theme song or even just some iconic 193 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: sound that lets you know as the audience that you're 194 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: about to see the bear, you're about to see the monster. 195 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: I think that movie would have had a little bit 196 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: more impact on me and could have created a legacy 197 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: one like Jaws did so many years ago. It reminded 198 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: me of learning about music and elementary school. I remember 199 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: my third grade music teacher, Miss Barcas, and she would 200 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: make us watch Peter and the Wolf all the time, 201 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: and in that we learned about different instruments because in 202 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: that musical, all of the characters are represented by different instruments. 203 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: So it's a flute, it's a clarinet, it's a French horn, 204 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: and anytime you hear those different instruments, you associate it 205 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: with an animal. And maybe that's the only thing I 206 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: really retained from elementary school at all, aside from basic 207 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: reading and math, but that has always stuck with me. 208 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: So maybe that was the ration here for John Williams. 209 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: But it's an iconic sound, it's an iconic score, it's 210 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: an iconic theme song. And that's why it's at number five. 211 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: That is Jaws. Let's move on now to number four. 212 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: Can you name this movie? We have three in a 213 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: row here from John Williams. The movie is none other 214 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: than Jurassic Park. This song made me believe in dinosaurs. 215 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: And we go back to talking about wanting to place 216 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: ourselves in a position to where we could watch a 217 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: movie for the very first time and feel those same emotions, 218 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: and this is a theme song that captures that. When 219 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: you first hear the song in this movie, it's the 220 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: first time that you are seeing the dinosaurs in all 221 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: their glory, and it's a moment in a movie that, 222 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: as the audience, we also feel exactly what the characters 223 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: are feeling. They really hadn't seen the dinosaurs up close 224 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: and personal, and it is as mind blowing to them 225 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: as it is to us viewing the movie, and just 226 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: to look on their faces and Laura Dern just having 227 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: this expression of complete and utter awe and it all 228 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: goes back to that theme song of hearing that and 229 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: seeing all those dinosaurs walking along in Jurassic Park and 230 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: aside from what it does and what it means to 231 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: the movie, it's just a great piece of music. You 232 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: hear this and you don't even have to know anything 233 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: about classical music, anything about any kind of orchestra. You 234 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: just hear this and it's like, yeah, that's good. That 235 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: is epic. So that one we put at number four 236 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: with Jurassic Park, but it's not the last we will 237 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: hear of John Williams on this list. But here we 238 00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: go now with number three. Can you name the movie? 239 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: This one is from John Carpenter, who also directed this movie. 240 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: He is responsible for one of my favorite movies of 241 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: all time, even transcends the horror genre, and this theme 242 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: song itself is bigger than the movie. The movie is Halloween, 243 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: so I feel like this is not only the main 244 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: theme for the movie Halloween, but I think we just 245 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: associate this song with the holiday, and it's just a 246 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: few chilling notes, just that piano, the bassline, and the piano. 247 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: It's one of the only songs I can actually play 248 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: on piano. So maybe that's also why I have some 249 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: bias towards this song. It's the Halloween theme song and 250 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Rugrats that I can play on piano, but the power 251 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: that just those few notes in this song with such 252 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: fairly light production. Now, this movie was made on a 253 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: very low budget, it was made very quickly, but now 254 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: has sparked a franchise that has been going on for 255 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: decades now, since the seventies. And you watch Helloween without 256 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: the music, and you don't have a movie without this song. 257 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: This movie does not have the same impact. Michael Myers 258 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: doesn't seem scary. His subtle slow walking or getting up 259 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: or killing people doesn't have the same effect. It is 260 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: this theme song and the entire score in Halloween that 261 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: makes that movie scary. It's so subtle, it's so eerie, 262 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: but it is so iconic. And I love how they 263 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: have kept this theme song throughout the entire franchise. They 264 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: mixed it up here and there. John Carpenter, it's just 265 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: so great at making eerie music. He has such a 266 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: great composer. If you break it down musically, the theme 267 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: song has some really weird timing, so you have this 268 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: just obscure sounding song that works so well. I don't 269 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: think it's more iconic than when made two in one, 270 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: but man, it is such a great theme song. So 271 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: at number three as Halloween from John Carpenter. Moving on 272 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: to number two, Can you name the movie? This is 273 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: from Bill Conti and it is the theme from Rocky. 274 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: It also goes by the title of Gunna Fly Now. 275 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: And I guess I had to make a bit of 276 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: an exception for this one because it does have some lyrics, 277 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: very few lyrics, But I feel like even if you 278 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: took those lyrics out, it would still be, without a doubt, 279 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: so recognizable. You don't need the lyrics to have the 280 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: same impact. It's just hearing those first few notes. This 281 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 1: makes me want to just bust into a montage right now. 282 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go have a montage. But this is the 283 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: song that inspired this entire list, this entire episode. Going 284 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: into Create three and I went back and rewatched the 285 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: first Rocky and I started to question whether or not 286 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: the movie theme song is dead. We still have songs 287 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: written for movies, and those songs still have a similar impact, 288 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: even though that's not as great anymore either. But when 289 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: it comes to movies just having as hard of a 290 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: theme song, like a Rocky theme song, it just doesn't 291 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: really happen anymore. And I started to think if my 292 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: life had a theme song. What would it be? In 293 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: my head, it's something that goes really hard, makes me 294 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing something epic. I go back to 295 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: my boy Hans Zimmer and the movie theme song I 296 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: think fits my life in my head at least is 297 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: the main theme from The Dark Knight. I picture myself 298 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: getting ready for work to this song, like I'm bout 299 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: to go in and do some damage, even though I'm 300 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: just to go in and produce a radio show. Or 301 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: maybe it's something like the Spider Man movie theme song, 302 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: picture of myself on a run, jumping through things, hopping 303 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: over fences. But in reality of my movie theme song 304 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: is probably Married Life from Pixar's Up. It's just over 305 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: here trying to live a normal life. That is probably 306 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: my life theme song. But anyway, back to Rocky, this one, 307 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: this should be all of our lives theme songs. We 308 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: should all want to be like Rocky, all right. So 309 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: before we get into what I think is the most 310 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: iconic movie theme song of all time, gotta throw in 311 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: some honorable mentions here. One that almost made my list, 312 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: and it almost snuck in there, but it would be 313 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: the Home Alone theme song, also from John Williams. I 314 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: just don't feel like this one is as recognizable. It 315 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: goes great in the movie, but I feel like if 316 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: you take this out of it, you don't hear it 317 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: and immediately think of home alone. But it just feels 318 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: like Christmas to me. It feels like snow falling on 319 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: the ground to me. I mentioned this one earlier, but 320 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: Superman almost made the list. I'm not the biggest fan 321 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: of the Mission Impossible franchise, but it had a great 322 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: theme song in that same vein. You also have Top Gun. 323 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: Another movie series I'm not the biggest fan of but 324 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: also has an iconic theme song. Is The Godfather or 325 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: movies like James Bond, And then I wanted to go 326 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: into just some of my favorite movies that I love 327 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: the theme songs, but I don't feel like they're that recognizable, 328 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: even though I feel they're very important to the feeling 329 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: of all these movies. So movies like Blade Runner twenty 330 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: forty nine has probably the best score in the last 331 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: ten years. There's just so many great sounds in this 332 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: movie that make it an even better sci fi movie 333 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: for me. It really takes it up an entirely different 334 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: notch on the old amplifier. When it comes to even 335 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: just the notification tones in that or bringing it all 336 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: full circle, the text tone in that movie is actually 337 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: from Peter and the Wolf. This is my favorite song. 338 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: I just love me some Peter in the Wolf. I 339 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: also really love the Black Panther theme. The Shaft theme 340 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: is iconic, just that high hat or also movies like 341 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: The Exorcist. And then one movie theme song from a 342 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: movie I did not expect to like. I don't like 343 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: period pieces whatsoever, and for some reason, I just felt 344 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: like I needed to watch the Favorite and I ended 345 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: up completely loving that movie and all of the classical 346 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: music throughout that entire score, like for a week straight. 347 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: This was just me and my Ford focus going hard. 348 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: But those are all the honorable mentions. So now number one, 349 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: What is the most iconic theme song of all time? 350 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Think about it for a second. What do you think 351 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: would make this list at number one? You'll know it 352 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: by the first note here. It is Let's Go, composed 353 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: by none other than John Williams in the late seventies. 354 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: This is a theme song that not only makes this 355 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: movie the first Star Wars movie, it makes the entire franchise. 356 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: It is the most epic piece of music ever written 357 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: for a movie. Let me state that again so I'm 358 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: clear and on the record. It is the most epic 359 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: piece of music written for a movie ever. It's that 360 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: combined with a yellow letters scrolling the screen in this 361 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: crawl that we had never seen before in a movie, 362 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: but now is the recipe for a Star Wars introduction 363 00:23:46,320 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: to a movie. So that is it. That is the 364 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: list of what I think are the top ten most 365 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: iconic movie theme songs of all time. If you think 366 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: I miss one, if you think I messed up the ranking, 367 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: what should have been on the list, what should have 368 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: been off the list? Let me know. Hit me up 369 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok, Mike Distro on all those 370 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: or you can always find the links in the episode 371 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: notes of this podcast. I'll come back. I'll give my 372 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: spoiler free review of Creed three, the movie that inspired 373 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: this entire topic this week, and then in the Trailer 374 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: Park we'll talk about our first look at Peter Pan 375 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: and Wendy coming later this year on Disney Plus. Let's 376 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: get into a spoiler free movie review. Now. If you're 377 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: watching on YouTube, you can see that for this review. 378 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: Since we're talking about a boxing movie, I'm wearing some 379 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: boxing gloves, or maybe you're watching a clip on TikTok 380 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: or Instagram and thinking why is he wearing boxing gloves? 381 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Because I get into my movie roles, I'm like a 382 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: method actor movie reviewer. But let's talk about Creed three, 383 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: one of my most anticipated movies of the year. I 384 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: love me so Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors has 385 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: now probably entered my top five, if not top three 386 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: actors right now. So not of all time, but if 387 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: actors who I'm interested in watching their movies right now, 388 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: he is right up there because he is such a 389 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: dynamic actor. And I'll get into more of how I 390 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: feel about his range in movies now, But from the trailer, 391 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: going into it and seeing them too together, I thought 392 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: this could be the most dramatic Creed movie yet, maybe 393 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: the best one in the franchise. So we'll see what 394 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: ended up happening. But before we get into this entire review, 395 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Creed three trailers. 396 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: Damien's fighting the world and he's trying to hurt people. 397 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: I founse few you think you mad try spending half 398 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: your life in a sale. Why does somebody else live 399 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: your life. I'm coming for everything. You're threatening. Something's going 400 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: on with you. Damian was like family. Now we passed talking. 401 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: Then maybe you just have to find am. So let's 402 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: talk about what Creed three is about. You have Adonnas 403 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Creed back. The movie starts with him going out on 404 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: top and then enjoying retirement, enjoying spending time with his family, 405 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: and enjoying the life he is able to live because 406 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: of what boxing has done for him. But then someone 407 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: from his past comes and knocking, and it is Jonathan 408 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: Major's character named Damien. They were friends as kids, they 409 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: were both up and coming and boxing, but then one 410 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: night they both get involved in a situation and Damien 411 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: ends up in jail twenty years later is where you 412 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: find him in Creed three. He gets out and he 413 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: just wants a shot at getting back into the ring, 414 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: and that's where Adonnis comes in and you really learn 415 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: more about his backstory, more about what actually happened to 416 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: land him in prison. So I did enjoy that you 417 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: didn't learn everything up front. I think that probably would 418 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: have wasted a little bit of time, And instead you 419 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: learn a little bit more and more about that night 420 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: as you go along, so it adds a little bit 421 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: of mystery to it. And right out of the gate, 422 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: I felt like Jonathan Majors was such a great villain, 423 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: and there's just something about the way he delivers his lines, 424 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: something about the way he approaches a character. Even thinking 425 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: of what he did with Kang and Aunt Man, he 426 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: just plays a villain so well, to the point to 427 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: where you almost want to trust him. You think, oh, 428 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: maybe he's not such a bad guy, but then boom, 429 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: he comes with it and he is this just utter 430 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: force that you can't help but want to root against, 431 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: You can't help but want to fight him and take 432 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: him out. He does that so well. So there's so 433 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: much credit that I give to Jonathan Majors and his 434 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: performance in this entire movie. I almost feel that it 435 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: overshadows anything that Michael B. Jordan did it in this movie. Now, 436 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan's not only start in this movie, but 437 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: he also directed it, and I kind of felt that 438 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: it was his directorial debut, and there were some aspects 439 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 1: of this movie looking at it that it felt like 440 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the first time he directed a movie. Because that's a director. 441 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Your job is to get the best performances out of 442 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: all your actors, and I didn't really think he did 443 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: a good job at that. And I know Rocky movies, 444 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: Creed movies always have a little bit of cheesiness to them. 445 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: They're just the tad like cheese whiz on every single 446 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: Rocky movie, and this one. There were some lines in 447 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: this movie that would be cheesy no matter who was 448 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: delivering them. But I felt like the line they ended 449 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: up using in the movie on some of these characters, 450 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: it just sounded like bad acting. So it was bad delivery, 451 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: and maybe all they needed was to do was take 452 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: another take or just do something to get a little 453 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: bit better performances out of some of these actors. So 454 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: that was really the main thing I picked out on 455 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: his directing abilities. I guess after watching the trailer, I 456 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: thought they were going to step up the drama a 457 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: little bit more. And I don't know why I was 458 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: going into a movie like this expecting like some really 459 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: renowned performances from all of the actors, but like Michael B. 460 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: Jordan was a little bit flat. I've seen him put 461 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: more life into the Creed character in the previous two films, 462 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: and I felt like him as a Donna's Creed was 463 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: not as strong as Jonathan Majors as Damien, but overall 464 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: their relationship in the movie, their chemistry worked really well together. 465 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: Was this movie hurt by the fact that Rocky Sylvester 466 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: Stallone was not in this movie at all? Surprisingly, I 467 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: don't really think it was. I don't really think it 468 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: was necessary. This movie was very much the story of 469 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: a donna's Creed. It was so focused on him, his 470 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: moral dilemma, all of his past demons coming out to 471 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: the forefront in this movie. I felt like it would 472 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: have been muddied if Rocky would have been in this movie. 473 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: So I don't think it was hurt by the fact 474 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: that he did not have a supporting role in this movie. 475 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: It was a little reminiscent of Rocky One. There were 476 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: some references to that movie, so I feel like, if anything, 477 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: it would have only benefited from a Rocky cameo. That's 478 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: all you needed. I felt like it would have been 479 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: dragged down by the fact of Rocky doing the same 480 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: old thing about I don't think you should fight in this, 481 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, doing that whole role, doing the old wise 482 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: guy trying to protect Creed. I don't think we really 483 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: needed that, So I don't think the movie was hurt 484 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: by the fact that we didn't have Rocky. I just 485 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: wanted something else to take it up on a bit 486 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: of a more emotional level. And going into this movie, 487 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: I was putting it at a four point five based 488 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: on what I'd seen, based on the fact that I 489 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: love both actors in the leading roles. It's just crazy 490 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: to me how much the Creed movies have changed over 491 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: two movies, and also just how much the entire idea 492 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: of a fighting movie like this has changed since the 493 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: original Rocky from the seventies, which I went back and 494 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: watched just because I had a feeling there would be 495 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: some kind of allusion to that movie, some kind of 496 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: homage to that movie, since Rocky wasn't going to be 497 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: in this one. Creed three, like all the other Creed movies, 498 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: Like all the other Rocky movies, they are known for 499 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: their montages. I thought this one was a great montage. 500 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: I think that was due to the fact that you 501 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: had a montage looking at the trading of both Creed 502 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: and Damien, so I felt like watching these two forces 503 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: and you can't wait till they come together. Create three 504 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: also had the best cinematography out of any Creed movie. 505 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's saying a whole lot, But stylistically, 506 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: there were some really cool shots, but there were some 507 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: cool special effects, some cool camera tricks that they did 508 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: in this movie to make it look a little bit different, 509 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: especially when it came to the final match. And by 510 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: the time we got to the final match, I realized 511 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: this movie needed more boxing moments, so would have benefited 512 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: with some more boxing thrown in there. The other thing 513 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did 514 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the fashion choices in this movie. And maybe that's 515 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: just because I myself and my personal life have been 516 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: trying to dress with more intention and just trying to 517 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: have my own sense of style. Not trying to be 518 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: fancy in any way, but I am just very drawn 519 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: to style and fashion right now. So that's all I 520 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: look at on Instagram and TikTok, and when watching this movie, like, oh, 521 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: they were a lot more intentional with the way Adonna's 522 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: Creed dressed and the way that Jonathan Major's dress kind 523 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: of opposite to him. Adonna's Creed in the movie obviously 524 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: has a lot more money, so he was in very 525 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: nice looking suits, he had this cool monochromatic look going on. 526 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: And then Jonathan Major's just coming out of prison. Although 527 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: I do question some of the things he was wearing 528 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: because some of that stuff looked expensive, but he had 529 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: like the car heartworn jacket, the rugged looking beanie, the 530 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: cool sweater. I really liked his style as well, So 531 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: if I were to pick one of theirs to dress 532 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: more like, I'd probably lean more towards Jonathan Majors. That's 533 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: actually the look I've been going for. And also, as 534 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: I sit here doing this review with boxing gloves, I 535 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: have been doing boxing classes with Kelsey and by no 536 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: means am I a boxing expert or would even say 537 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm an aspiring boxer, But from doing those classes, I've 538 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: learned some of the basics some of the techniques, and 539 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: I found that that was beneficial to me going into 540 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: a Creed movie. Just knowing how much stamina it takes 541 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: to just do a boxing class, I can only imagine 542 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: having to do that in the ring for twelve rounds, 543 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: so not only keeping your composure and keeping up your strength, 544 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: but then having to take all those hits. Boxing is 545 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: just a crazy sport that you go into it, and 546 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: even if you win, you still get beat up and 547 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: are probably out at least a couple a few weeks. 548 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Some boxers take even up to months to recover from 549 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: a fight. It's just knowing that physical strain that they 550 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: put their bodies through, almost like voluntarily asking to be 551 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: put into a car wreck. So I would say I 552 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: had a little bit more understanding or could just pick 553 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: up on some of the techniques. And I'm like I 554 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: we learned a little bit of that in class. So 555 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the first two Creed movies, 556 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: would you be a fan of this one? I would 557 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: say yes, unless you were only watching those movies because 558 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: of Rocky, then you would not be happy whatsoever. How 559 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: does it compare to the other two Creed movies. I 560 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: would say that the first one is still the best 561 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: to me. The second one took a step down, So 562 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: I would go one to three, two. And the ranking 563 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: of the Creed movies I went into this in my 564 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: head it was a four point five. I was needing 565 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: it to go up on an emotional level, on a 566 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: dramatic level, to give me to that five. That's just 567 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: how much I love these movies, how much I think 568 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: they're great for film right now. The theater was packed, 569 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: and it brings together a lot of different film fans. 570 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,479 Speaker 1: The more casual fan, you'll find it a Creed movie. 571 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: So I enjoy that aspect of it getting people out 572 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: into the theater because it's a spectacle, and it's a 573 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: different kind of spectacle. It's a boxing match, it's sports. 574 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: This reminded me of how my family some of the 575 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: only things we would bond over as not just with 576 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: my immediate family, but with my aunts and uncles. We 577 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: would all go in and pay for a pay per 578 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: view and there's just some fun bonding experience that comes 579 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: along with watching two people battle it out who's gonna win. 580 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: That's what makes these movies so fun to me. So 581 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: in my head it was a four point five. I 582 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: wanted to take it up to a five. Didn't quite 583 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: get there because I felt it was a little bit 584 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: cheesier than I was expecting. Maybe it's just because I 585 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: have like a crush on Jonathan Major's right now, but 586 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: he was my favorite character in this movie. I just 587 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: needed something a little bit more to have me invested 588 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: in Adonis Creed and his story and his journey throughout 589 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: this entire franchise with that performance from him. Judging his 590 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: directing abilities on his first film, I had to go 591 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: down another point five. So for Create three, I would 592 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: give it four out of five boxing gloves. It's time 593 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: to head down to movie Mike Traylor, Paul Let's take 594 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: a look and yet another Disney Live action adaptation remake. 595 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: There have been so many, so many lately now with 596 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: Disney plus that they are kind of just, at least 597 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: in my eyes, going after some cash grabs. I think 598 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: the entire movie industry right now, at least the more 599 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: mainstream studios, they're just banking on something that is familiar 600 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: to audiences, so it feels like less of a risk. 601 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know why there have been so many 602 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: Peter Pan movies. I love the original one, I love Hook, 603 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: but when it comes to just a story I want 604 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: to see told over and over again without really changing 605 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: a whole lot. I don't know why filmmakers keep going 606 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: back to this story. There's not one thing about a 607 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: Peter Pan movie, one scene, one sequence that I think 608 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: I need to see this interpretation done so many different times. 609 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: I just don't really feel that it's just been around forever. 610 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: We just keep making them from Peter Pan in two 611 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: thousand and three, finding never Landing the animated Tinkerbelt movie 612 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: Pan in twenty fifteen. There was a darker Windy movie 613 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. So the movie has been done over 614 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: and over again, and I was willing to give it 615 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: another chance. I do think there's something magical about a 616 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: Peter Pan movie. Maybe that's it. It's just a little 617 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: bit magical. It's fun for kids. So I wasn't excited, 618 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: but I was interested in it, And after seeing this trailer, 619 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: I think, oh man, this is gonna be bad. But 620 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: before I get into more of my thoughts on Peter 621 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: Pan and Wendy and what they should actually do, here's 622 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: just a little bit of the new trailer. It's coming 623 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: to Disney Plus next month on April twenty eighth. Here 624 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: you go, How did you come to Neverland? You boys? 625 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: Every last one of us. She's not old boys? So 626 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: where is this place? That's hard? She's like a found us. 627 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: Wendy Moira, Angela Darley. Where is Peter Pan? So in 628 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: this movie, you have Jude Law as Captain Hook, you 629 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: have Jim Gaffagan as me, and you don't even get 630 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: a glimpse of him in the trailer upsetting to me 631 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 1: because he's probably the one I want to see most 632 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: in this movie. You have some new stars Alexander Maloney 633 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: as Peter Pan and Ever Anderson as Wendy, and when 634 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: they're reviving this classic yet again, I wanted something that 635 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: looked different, that felt different. So this trailer let me 636 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: down and I now think it's going to be exactly 637 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: like what the Pinocchio remake was with Tom Hanks, just 638 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: the reinterpretation of the original story that we all know 639 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: done live action. You put it on a Disney Plus 640 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: and you know they started out strong with Disney Plus 641 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: putting out Yes they were remakes, but I felt like 642 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: they were a lot better in the beginning. And now 643 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: they're just kind of slapping things on there, and it 644 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: very much feels like back in the day when they 645 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: used to have straight to DVD Disney movies like The 646 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: Lion King two, Lion King one and a half, Like 647 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: those movies are now just kind of becoming the Disney 648 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: Plus movies. And how we as the viewer lose out 649 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: on that is we are still getting some A list 650 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: names as some of the stars, but what they are 651 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: scaling back on is how much money they are putting 652 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: into the visual effects. This movie looked completely lifeless and 653 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: a movie as magical as Peter Pan. I want some 654 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: high quality production in there. I want it to look 655 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: like these people are actually flying. I want some big, 656 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: grand set design, costume design. That is what makes a 657 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: movie like this great. But we are just getting much 658 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: of the same quality here with Disney Plus, and with 659 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: them losing subscribers for the first time, I don't feel 660 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: like this is going to be a title that's going 661 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: to make you think, oh, I should keep my Disney 662 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 1: Plus subscription or I should renew it after canceling it. 663 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: So I feel like this is a step back for 664 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: them and trying to get more people to come over 665 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: to Disney Plus. I think it will maybe appease the 666 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: people who already have it. I'll end up watching it 667 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: and probably hating it by the end of it. It'll 668 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: be a movie that I watch and probably writt p 669 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: strats and I hope they proved me wrong on that 670 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 1: it really just looks like a low budget Pirate of 671 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: the Caribbean movie, and I felt like they should have 672 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: put more money into making this movie look more expensive 673 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: looking more sleek and made it an actual theatrical release 674 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: so very much, giving me those straight to VHS vibes, 675 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: and with characters that have had so many interpretations. They 676 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: did it best with Hook in ninety one and of 677 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: course the original in nineteen fifty three, And I guess 678 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: what I wish this movie would have been. Probably wouldn't 679 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: have been a kids movie at all, so probably why 680 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: they would never do this, But they should explore the 681 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: darker timelines of Peter Pan, like a grittier Peter Pan 682 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: or a grittier Hook. I've seen a lot of fan 683 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: theories online that would make for a much better Peter 684 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,879 Speaker 1: Pan movie, and these are stories you probably wouldn't want 685 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: your kid watching. They don't feel as Disney. But why 686 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: not go with something a little bit off the wall, 687 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: with something that's been done so many times. I would 688 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,959 Speaker 1: like to explore the dark Disney theory that Peter Pan 689 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: is actually the Angel of Death and all of the 690 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: kids in the movie that he is guiding along or 691 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: actually dead. Yes, it's a little bit dark, but that 692 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: would be a lot more interesting. Or you explore a 693 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: storyline where Captain Hook is actually the good guy and 694 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: Peter Pan is the one kidnap kids, and all Hook 695 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: is trying to do is stop Peter Pan. If you 696 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: look at the original Peter Pan movie, he's not really 697 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: trying to mess with the kids. He's not trying to 698 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: hurt them. He's just going after Peter Paine. He hasn't 699 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: vendetta against Peter Pan and wants to take him down. 700 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: That is the relationship they have, So maybe there's a 701 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: little bit something to that. I like it when you 702 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: can look at villains and heroes and kind of shift 703 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: a perspective on it on who is actually the bad 704 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 1: person here, So you explore a story where Hook is 705 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: actually trying to save the children from Peter. There you go, 706 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: that's an adaptation I would spend my money on. But 707 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: if you're just a diehard Peter Pan lover, you can 708 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: look forward to that coming to Disney Plus on April 709 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: twenty eighth edition. And that is gonna do it for 710 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, 711 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 1: I gotta give my listener shout out of the week. 712 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: This week we are shouting out Amber Stiffler, who is 713 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: a Stiffler Underscore on Instagram who left this comment on 714 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: my Cocaine Bear movie review, and she wrote, I have 715 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: just started listening to your movie podcast, starting at episode 716 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: one December eighth, twenty nineteen. I've listened to five of 717 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: them already. Thanks for giving me something interesting to listen to. 718 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: Not a lot catches my interest fire emoji. One of 719 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: my favorite things that I love in life are new listeners. 720 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: So welcome Amber to the podcast. If you're going back 721 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: that far, I praise you if we're listening to my 722 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: early episodes, because I feel like I was just getting 723 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 1: used to speaking into a microphone at that time. I 724 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: actually went back recently and listened to the first ever 725 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: trailer I did for this podcast, and I cruise a 726 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: little bit. But I think with anything that you start 727 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: in life, you should look back at those early things 728 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: and think, oh man, that wasn't very good. So I 729 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: feel like I've grown a lot. So you've gotten through 730 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: five episodes so far. I hope I continue to get 731 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: better as you listen along, so don't let the early 732 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: versions of the podcast keep you from listening to more. 733 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: So thank you, Amber. You are the listener of the 734 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: week and I officially name you a member of the 735 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: movie crew.
