1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie Podcast. I

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: with you ten things in film that twist my nipples.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: You heard me correctly. These are things that irritate me,

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: that make me annoyed. Twist my nipples. That is exactly

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: what we were talking about today. In the movie review,

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: I want to get into my thoughts of Air, the

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: new sports drama that came out over the weekend. And

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: in the trailer park we'll talk about our very first

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Latino superhero in the DC universe. The movie is called

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Blue Beetle and comes out later this year. Thank you

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: for being here and being subscribed in listening every single week.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Shout out to the movie crew. And now let's talk movies.

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: much movie knowledge. He's basically like a walking IMTV with

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: classes from the Nashville Podcast networkings Movie Mics, Movie Podcast.

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Today's question, what is something in film that twist nipples?

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: What does that mean exactly? What is something that irks you?

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Something that annoys you, what grinds your gears, what gets

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: your goat? Whenever a movie does this, I have come

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: up with ten things that every time this happens in

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: a movie or surrounding a movie release. Whenever these things happen,

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I just can't help but get a little bit irritated.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: We'll go through these ten. We have some honorable mentions

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: because I asked this question online. Always like getting your

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: feedback on these topics. So this is going to be

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: a very unhinged episode if you can't tell just by

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: the episode title. So we'll waste no time and get

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: right into it. At number ten of things that twist

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: my nipples any final words that phrase, and it has

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: to do in regards to a villain always taking too

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: long to kill the hero. Now, in a movie, we

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: probably don't want to see the hero be killed. We

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: want to see them save the day. But they have

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: to do it a little bit different for me to

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: not get irritated whenever a villain just goes through his

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: entire plan right in front of the hero and then

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: they take this extended period of time to take them

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: out when they have like the gun pointed at them,

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: when they can throw them off a cliff when there's

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: just the opportunity to finish out their evil plan and

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: they don't do it. And that is quickly followed by

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: the other one that somebody comes in at just the

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: right time. I, for one, at this point of watching movies,

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: would just like to see the hero get hurt a

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: little bit, much like we saw in John Wick four.

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: They need to take some hits. I enjoy movies where

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: sometimes the unexpected thing happened. So anytime there's a clichade,

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: hero just gets rescued at the right time because they're

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: like any final words, I'm not into it. That twists

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: my nipples. That comes in at number ten. At number

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: nine is an unrealistic amount of days from our main

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: characters in a movie, as somebody who works Monday through

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Friday sometimes spills over into the weekend. I can't imagine

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: a situation in a story where I would have just

58
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: an unlimited amount of days off. And I get you

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: have to suspend belief in a movie, but sometimes you

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: have characters with very important jobs and they just don't

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: work at all. The entire story carries out and there

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: is no concern about how they make money. You don't

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: have anybody checking in with their boss. If they get

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: into a situation where they are gone for a very

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: long time, there is just no worry in their mind.

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: At bad Mom sixty seven on Twitter also said housing

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: situations that don't match their actual jobs. I feel like

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: these two go hand in hand. You have a character

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: who is taking all this time off, but it is

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: somehow able to afford a giant luxury apartment in New

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: York City. This doesn't match up. Also along the same

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: lines of unrealistic days off is whenever teenagers go missing

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: or they go on a big adventure and their parents

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: never wonder where they are. You mean to tell me

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: all these teenagers were able to go away from their

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: parents and not come back to a ton of miss

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: calls and a police report. So unrealistic amount of days off,

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: houses that don't match, and kids that go missing without

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: their parents looking for them. I put that all into

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: this category at number eight. It really twists my nipples

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: every time a Star Wars project gets announced and the

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: fan base just obliterates it. So I am going against

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: the Star Wars toxic fan base because last week Star

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Wars announced that three new films are coming. They are

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: starring Daisy Ridley. She's returning as Ray and it will

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: be set fifteen years after the Rise of Skywalker. So

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: the interesting thing here is it won't be called Episode ten.

88
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: It's a whole new era. So this phase is supposed

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: to be after the events of the sequel trilogy, which

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: I am currently rewatching right now, So it takes place

91
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: after the Rise of Skywalker. Like I said, it'll take

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: place fifteen years after that movie. She's building a new

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Jedi academy, trying to bring back the Order to full strength.

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: So at this moment, not a whole lot is known

95
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: about this new phase of Star Wars other than that,

96
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: but every single comment about this movie is that this

97
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: is a franchise nobody asked for. And I think this

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: is just the cycle of Star Wars. I was talking

99
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: about this recently whenever this was just a rumor. It

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: just seems like Star Wars fans are never satisfied, and

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: I find myself to be a casual fan. I enjoyed

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the original trilogy. I love them for what they are,

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: and I'm a nerd in my own riot, but I

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: was just never super passionate about those movies, so I

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: didn't really get upset about the prequel movies, so I

106
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: don't feel like they ruined the legacy of Star Wars.

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: And then when the sequel trilogy came out, that is

108
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: really when I became more of a fan. I found

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: it fresh and reinventive. I loved the story of Ray,

110
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: which I know by defending these movies, I'll probably get roasted,

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with that. I found those movies to

112
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: be a good bridge between the old classic characters that

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: we loved at Chewbacca, you have Han, Solo, Princess Leia,

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: all back in those movies. It was exciting for me

115
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: to see them in those more so than it was

116
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: for me to go back and watch those original movies,

117
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: because I felt like the time that these movies came out,

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: the technology was so much better and they look more

119
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: sleek and crisp. In the visuals of Star Wars and

120
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: the creation of that entire world, I felt just had

121
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: more life to it, And as I rewatched them now,

122
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: I still really enjoy them. So I find this move

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: to be interesting because instead of creating a whole new

124
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: trilogy and making episode ten, eleven, and twelve, they're really

125
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: trying to bridge this gap, and I would rather them

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: do this than copec and remake the original movies. I

127
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: can only imagine the hate that would come if they

128
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: did that. So to everybody who has that same comment

129
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: about nobody asked for this, some people actually did so.

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: At number eight is the Star Wars toxic fan base

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: that always just twist my nipples. At number seven, this

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: one maybe a little bit controversial, but the post credit scene.

133
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I think in twenty twenty three, I am over the

134
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: post credit scene. I don't want to hang around in

135
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: the movie theater that long anymore. And maybe it's because

136
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: having this podcast, I watched so many movies. I go

137
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: to the movie theater at least once, sometimes twice right

138
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: now looking at three times a week. Because there are

139
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: so many good new movies coming out, I'm just trying

140
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: to keep up. I don't want to add any more

141
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: time to hang around for a scene to tease the

142
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: next project. So I find myself now. I'll go watch

143
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: them on YouTube, or I'll find them on TikTok later.

144
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: But I think we need to get away from the

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: post credit scene. They used to be cute. It used

146
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: to be fun to wait around to have that little

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: moment of them teasing a new character. But at this

148
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: point it kind of feels like when artists make a

149
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: big deal when you go to see them in concert,

150
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: like they're playing their last song and they leave the

151
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: stage knowing, dang well, they're about to come out and

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: do an encore. They're gonna do it regardless, it's already

153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: built into the set list that they're going to come

154
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: back out and do the hit song that they haven't

155
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: got to yet. I say we quit that entire song

156
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: and dance and just put it at the end of

157
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: the movie. It just needs to be the final scene,

158
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: so it's not even so much teasing us for the

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: next thing. Just get right to it and the movie

160
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: one quick slate, get to the post credit scenes so

161
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: we can get out of there. So number seven post

162
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: kred scenes really started twist my nipples at number six

163
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: along those same lines. This has to do with horror

164
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: movies in particular, whenever a horror movie ends and that

165
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: last final scene is finding out that the villain is

166
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: not dead, therefore setting up a part two. I can't

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: stand this anymore. This is the biggest cliche in horror

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: movies that we need to get rid of. I've been

169
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: seeing it so much more now and it just feels

170
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: very eighties, nineties, early two thousands to do this. Let's

171
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: get away from this. I feel like it's cheesy and

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: it takes away from the ending of a movie. Once

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: the character is finally able to kill the horror movie villain.

174
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: We don't want to see them come back to live.

175
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: We get it, you're probably going to make another one,

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: but don't do the whole fake out of them opening

177
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: their eye, of them moving their hand, or the one

178
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: I really hate is getting us with that final jump

179
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: scare and showing a real one quick second jump of

180
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: the character like bursting out of the screen. I cannot

181
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: stand that. And along those same lines, I just hate

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: when a movie is made deliberately to set up the

183
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: next one. At this point, I want to see a

184
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: movie that doesn't leave anything on the table. Don't put

185
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: out a movie if the entire reason is just to

186
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: set up a sequel. I get that you're trying to

187
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: build a franchise, you're trying to make a sound investment,

188
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to get people wanting to see more of

189
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: your movie. But give us everything in part one, and

190
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: if you do a good enough job, I want to

191
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: see part two. You don't have to trick me to

192
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: do it, and we get it. Horror movie villains are

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: supposed to come back. Look how many times Michael Myers,

194
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger, Jason have come back over the years. We

195
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: know how this works. So that's what I have at

196
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: number six. Moving on now to number five, This one

197
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: is movies getting remade too quickly. I find we have

198
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: this happening more and more because studios are cashing in

199
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: on known properties. It seems like they are a little

200
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: bit more unwilling to take risks on new content, new ideas,

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: which is something they shouldn't be doing because we see

202
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: with movies, like everything everywhere, all at once. He creates

203
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: something new, fresh and exciting, people are going to pay

204
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: attention to it. So the whole idea of let's just

205
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: do what works is a really bad state of mind

206
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: to be in. That being said, the one that really

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: got me last week was Disney announcing that they are

208
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: remaking Mahanna as a live action movie, with the Rock

209
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: coming back as MAUI. I'm about to get into a

210
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: big rant right here, so just hold on to your seats.

211
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Mauana is a great animated movie. It came out in

212
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Let me say that again. The movie came

213
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: out in twenty sixteen, and we are already talking about

214
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: a remake in twenty twenty three. That is unheard of

215
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to me. That might be a record for the quickest

216
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: remake ever. I'm a big fan, or at least was

217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: a big fan of the Rock. I loved him as

218
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: a wrestler. I loved a lot of his work. Once

219
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: he really started to become a name in Hollywood, I

220
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: think he is a great person, but I'm starting to

221
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: see him have some qualities that he is starting to

222
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: ruin franchises for me, look at what happened with Black Adam,

223
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: and now he is moving on to ruining another one,

224
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: and that is Mauanna. Now, I don't want to be

225
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: that same person from the toxic Star Wars fan base.

226
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to say we didn't ask for this.

227
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: I think Mauana was a movie that was kind of

228
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: a sleeper hit for me. I saw it in theaters.

229
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: I didn't entirely get it. I'm not the biggest fan

230
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of the musical Disney side. I could watch a Disney

231
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: movie and take out all the musical numbers, and I'd

232
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: be fine with it. I'm more invested in the story.

233
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: But watching that movie for the second and third time,

234
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this was a lot better than

235
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: I remember. So Mauana is a great movie and a

236
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: very important Disney movie, one of the most important ones

237
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: in the last ten years. But to already be remaking

238
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: it as a live action movie that is insane to me.

239
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: They're just remaking every single Disney movie. And I get

240
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: the old class sakes Pinocchio, Okay, Peter Panton, Wendy, all right,

241
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: they're old movies that haven't been done in so long,

242
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: But Mauana just so Dwayne the Rock Johnson can start

243
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: in another live action movie because maybe being animated wasn't

244
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: enough for him. He wanted to be the face of

245
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: the movie. Is that the reason? He says it's because

246
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: of the deep personal meaning connected with his heritage. I

247
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: hope that's the case. I hope it's not just that

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: he wants to be the face of another movie. And

249
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Mijuana has actually been one of his biggest roles in

250
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: the last ten years. I would say his most significant role,

251
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: the one that is universally loved, And maybe he just

252
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: doesn't like the fact that it's just his voice in

253
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: the movie. That is the only reason I can see

254
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: why they are remaking this movie now. So I would

255
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: just rather have a sequel and not a live action remake,

256
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: at least in this point of time. Maybe another ten

257
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Maybe maybe we're just now getting a live

258
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: action Lee Loin Stitch that was twenty plus years now.

259
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Live action Mawana not the time for it. So it's

260
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: also getting harder and harder to defend Hollywood in their

261
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: decisions when we just keep remaking everything, but now remaking

262
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: everything within ten years insane. So that is number five.

263
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: That one got me heated there at number four, it

264
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: is continuity errors. What are continuity errors? It's whenever a

265
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: movie lacks consistency, there is just some little mistake in

266
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: the background, and it just comes down to they're not

267
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: being enough attention to detail. And maybe it's just me,

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: but I hyper fixate on little things in movies. I

269
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: pay attention to every single little detail. So for me,

270
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: a continuity error, it could be a character drinking out

271
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: of a can, and the minute I notice a straw

272
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: inside a can, I'm like, oh, that straw is going

273
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: to turn every which way. And I'm gonna pay attention

274
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: to every single cut in this movie because it's not

275
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna line up. I catch those. Every time there is

276
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: a clock on screen, I am paying attention to what

277
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: number is on the face of that clock, or if

278
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: it's a clock with hands, I am looking dead at

279
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: those hands to see all the little cuts. So maybe

280
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm a little too hyper focused into finding continuity errors,

281
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: but it just twists my nipples. So if a character

282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: is drinking out of a cup, I am looking at

283
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: the level of liquid in that cup. That's another thing.

284
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Why are we still drinking out of empty coffee cups?

285
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: I get the reason why you do it. On a

286
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: film set. You don't want your characters holding on to

287
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: a hot beverage for an extended period of time. And

288
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't add a whole lot to the scene

289
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: to you, but it does to me. When a character

290
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: gets handed a Starbucks cup and that thing looks like

291
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: it will blow away with a little blow of the wind,

292
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: that gets to me, what does it take to fill

293
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: that up with liquid? Now, you may say having liquid

294
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: in there would add some slashing around sounds, and you

295
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: know how to edit out the sound in post production.

296
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: But to me, that is worth it to add some

297
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: weight to that cup and add some realism to that scene.

298
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: There are other instances I notice, say when a lamp

299
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: gets broken on screen, you see it shattered, and then

300
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: in another there see and you see that lamp back

301
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: in perfect condition. That one gets me too. Or in

302
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: other instances, say a character gets hurt to the point

303
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: to where they can't walk. They have this injury that

304
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: is so bad in that moment, but then just a

305
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: few scenes later, they completely forget about it and they're

306
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: totally good trotting along. So let's tighten it up, Hollywood.

307
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Let's get rid of these continuity errors. At number three

308
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: of things that twist my nipples, it is the weak

309
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: use of a film title inside of a movie's dialogue.

310
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: One of the best things a movie can do is

311
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: say the title of a movie inside of that film.

312
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: It is something I look for. It is something that

313
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: every time it happens, I'm like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme

314
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: pointing at the screen. It all comes back to that

315
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Family Guide joke where Peter Griffin jokes about them saying

316
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: the title of the movie in the movie. I actually

317
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: did an entire episode on this if you want to

318
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: go back in search. The use of film titles in

319
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: movies one of my favorite things in all the film

320
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: But it being one of my favorite things, it can

321
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: also be a thing that irritates me when it gets

322
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: crowbarred in there, because to me, it is something so

323
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: sacred that you have to be good at doing it.

324
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: If you're not, just don't do it at all. The

325
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: best example of this is twenty sixteens suicide Squad. So

326
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: that's it. What we some kind of suicide squad. If

327
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: you're going to deliver it like that, don't deliver it

328
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: at all. Instead, hit me with one a little bit

329
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: more creative, like in twenty seventeens Get out Yo Yo,

330
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: or another fine example the breakfast club Breakfast Club. Unless

331
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: you are hitting us with a quality example like that

332
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: in a movie, don't bother doing it at all at

333
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: number three is a weak use of the film title

334
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: in that film. At number two. This one got me recently,

335
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: but I cannot stand it when people in a movie

336
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: order a pizza that is not enough for the amount

337
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: of people in that movie. The last time I saw

338
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: this was when I went to go see a good

339
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: Person starring Florence Pugh Morgan Freeman, directed by Zach Braff.

340
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: And there is a scene where there are two adults

341
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: and a teenager having dinner and they only order one pizza.

342
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: One pizza for three adults is not enough. That is

343
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: an unrealistic amount of pizza in that situation. What do

344
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: they do do? They just eat a slice, pass it around.

345
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: Everybody just takes one by one bite rule, and this

346
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: happens a lot. And I am somebody who loves pizza,

347
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: but I also have pizza anxiety, especially at parties, because

348
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: part of my entire existence is I have a very

349
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: addictive personality and that greatly shows when I eat pizza.

350
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how normal people just eat one or

351
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: two slices. I am a three four slice. I could

352
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: eat a whole pizza if you don't stop me. So

353
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: I have pizza anxiety. Where I am at a party

354
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: and they start saying, hey, we should order pizza. I'm like,

355
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: oh no, do I tell them that I can eat

356
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: a whole pizza by myself And this is not a

357
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: great situation for me. So I get pizza anxiety, and

358
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: whenever that pizza gets there, I'm doing pizza mass and

359
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: looking at all the number of adults, how many they

360
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: have on their plate, because I know I'm about to

361
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: eat my two slices that I modestly got on my

362
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: plate in about four bites, And then is it too

363
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: early to go back and get another slice? Should I

364
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: give the host the last slices of pizza? I could

365
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: easily polish off these other two slices I got after

366
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: my other two slices. So I go through this entire

367
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: thing in my head of how many pizza slices is

368
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: enough to have at a party, and I can't stand

369
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: it in a movie where they only order one pizza,

370
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: get more pizza box. It's a cheap prop and this

371
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: scene in particular took it up an even larger level

372
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: because you know, you get eight slices of pizza in

373
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: a normal pizza box, and there were leftover slices. So

374
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: maybe I just don't know how much pizza the average

375
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: person consumes, But I don't think one pizza is enough

376
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: for two or more adults. I don't think so. And

377
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: what are the odds they all agree on the same topping.

378
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: That's a whole other discussion. So when people don't order

379
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: enough pizza in movies that my nipples all right before

380
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: we get into my number one has some honorable mentions.

381
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: This one almost made my list, But it's whenever characters

382
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: go into another room to have a private conversation, but

383
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: then they proceed in having a conversation that is so

384
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: loud that there's no doubt to us that for sure

385
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: every other person in that other room heard every word

386
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: that they just said. Why is it that just because

387
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: you leave the room, you think people can't automatically hear you.

388
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: Also in situations in movies where people pretend to whisper

389
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: things so that other people don't hear them, but they're

390
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: like inches away from that person they're trying to keep

391
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: a secret from. They heard you. We heard you. It's

392
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: not a secret. Also, when nobody makes concrete plans in

393
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: a movie, say a character ask another character out on

394
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: a date and they're just like, yeah, I'll go out

395
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: with you, and they're all excited, and they just leave,

396
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: no concrete plans, none of that negotiating of like what

397
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: about Friday. Friday's no good for me. What about Saturday? Oh,

398
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Saturday's even worse. How about Sunday? I can't do Sunday

399
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: that all gets cut out and somehow they just magically

400
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: end up at the same place at the same time.

401
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: Bizarre to me. Or even in movies where there are

402
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: five or more adults and all of their schedules just

403
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: magically aligned. Unrealistic. Also in movies whenever characters are driving

404
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: and they're having a conversation and they make full on

405
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: eye contact for several seconds, you mean to tell me

406
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: that you can take your eyes off the road for

407
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: several seconds and everything be okay. That is a crash

408
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: waiting to happen. Unrealistic. Don't like it. A couple more

409
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: these were comments on my Facebook page. Yolanda wrote, very

410
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: rarely do characters stop for gas in a movie, which

411
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: is very true. Cars just never run out of gas

412
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: and they can also always find a parking spot. And

413
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Manuel on Facebook also said when characters don't use toothpaste.

414
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: I admit I never really noticed this, but saw more

415
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: people commenting about this. I feel like this goes hand

416
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: in hand with the empty coffee cups and no attention

417
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: to detail. So put some toothpaste on those toothbrushes. We

418
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: made it to number one, and my number one is unrealistic.

419
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: Room and makeup. And this has to do with in

420
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: situations of peril, or in situations where characters are living

421
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: in a post apocalyptic world, in a dystopian future, or

422
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: way back in history and the character doesn't match their environment.

423
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: So say it's a movie set way back in the

424
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: day and somehow the lead actress has perfect makeup and

425
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: perfect hair. That is unrealistic. I want that portrayal of

426
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: what that character would actually look like. They probably wouldn't

427
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: wake up with the full face of makeup and their

428
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: hair perfectly combed, so they wouldn't have these big, clean,

429
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: perfect Hollywood teeth. There are some fake teeth on them.

430
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: Most recently, I saw this in Where the Crawdad sing.

431
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: I love that movie, but her character was known as

432
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: the swamp Girl, and she looked like she could be

433
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: on the cover of a magazine. Also recently, I was

434
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: rewatching The Hunger Games and they're in this situation where

435
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: they're trying to kill all these other people and somehow

436
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: they all still look perfectly groomed. Or how about Brad

437
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Pitt in the World War two movie Fury. He had

438
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: a really cool haircut in that movie. There is no

439
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: chance that somebody fighting in that war would be able

440
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: to maintain that sharp of a fade. It just wouldn't happen.

441
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: That haircut was too cool for that movie, although I

442
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: admit after watching it, I wanted that haircut, but it

443
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: did not match up with those times. And I think

444
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: right now a lot of post apocalyptic movies are being

445
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: made this dystopian future, and somehow all these lead characters

446
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: have short, well groomed hair. Especially when it comes to

447
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: the guys. If there was somebody who hadn't seen a

448
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: barber in ten years, they would have the most untamed hair,

449
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: the most untamed beard, and they would look very different

450
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: than they are being portrayed. So if you have a

451
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: movie set in a post apocalyptic world, I want a

452
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: zz top beard. I want some broken teeth, I want

453
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: some dirt on their face, I want torn up clothes.

454
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: I want to smell those characters through the screen. I

455
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: will refuse. I will refuse to see another period piece

456
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: where somebody just has perfectly white teeth because anytime that happens,

457
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: well you know what it does. It twists my nipples.

458
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: So thank you for listening to this week's ten point rant.

459
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,080

Speaker 1: my Nike gear because we're talking about Air today and

466
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the movie is about the creation of the Air Jordan shoe.

467
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: So I actually have a partnership with Nike. I don't

468
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: think I've shared this on the show before, but I

469
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: have this really cool deal worked out where all I

470
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: have to do is go on Nike's website, pick out

471
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: anything that I want, pay for it with my own money,

472
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: and they send it to me. So I have this

473
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: great deal. That is why I am decked out in

474
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: my Nike gear today to talk about Air. And I'll

475
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: have to say at the top of this review that

476
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: is what I was worried about going into this movie

477
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: because based off of the trailer, it almost felt like

478
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: it was going to be a two hour long Nike commercial,

479
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: and I was worried about that. You know, whenever the

480
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: Facebook movie came out back in the twenty tens, the

481
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: social network, I felt like I had that similar feeling

482
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: of like, am I really going to go watch a

483
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Facebook movie? Is it good to be that compelling? And

484
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I was proved wrong there, And I was proved wrong

485
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: guess again, because this movie did not feel like a

486
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: two hour long Nike commercial. So we'll get into all

487
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: the details about this movie. So many great things involved

488
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: in this movie, from the real life story involved with

489
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Nike and Michael Jordan, but also how this movie saw

490
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: the light of day. How this movie was written and

491
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: then ended up on the big screen is one of

492
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: my favorite parts of the entire story. So before we

493
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: get into all that, here is just a little bit

494
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: of the air trailer. You asked me what I do here?

495
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: This is what I do. I find you players, and

496
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: I feel at this time, Okay, it's risky. When you

497
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: were selling sneakers out of the back of your plymouth,

498
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: that was risky. Don't change that now for a rookie, Yes,

499
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: who's never set foot on court. That's the literal definition

500
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: of rookie. Yeah, what's the plan? We build a shoe

501
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: line around just him? I need the greatest basketball shoot

502
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: that's ever been made. Who's the player? Michael Jordan? So

503
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: this movie is not the story of Michael Jordan. It

504
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: is the story of the creation of the Air Jordan shoe,

505
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: so much so that you don't even really see Michael

506
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: Jordan in this movie, mainly from the back. There's some

507
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: brief little glimpses of Michael Jordan, but they didn't want

508
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: to focus on his story. Director Ben Affleck actually said,

509
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: that's a different story to tell. Instead, the movie focuses

510
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: on Sonny Vicaro played by Matt Damon, and he is

511
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: a sports marketing executive in the eighties at Nike, and

512
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: this is a time where Nike wasn't at the top,

513
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: at least in the basketball world. They were crushing it

514
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: in their running shoes sales, but when it came to

515
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: their basketball department, it was struggling. They weren't selling many

516
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: shoes and they were really being beat out by their competitors,

517
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: Converse and Adidas, who were signing all the big athletes,

518
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: had the big rosters, had all the money to throw around,

519
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: so it was going to be a natural fit for

520
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan to go to either Adidas or Converse. So

521
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: he really wasn't even in their plans to go after

522
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: They wanted to sign three players, but instead Sonny Vaccaro

523
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: became obsessed with Michael Jordan, was watching all of his

524
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: tape from his college days in North Carolina, and he

525
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: thought that Nike should, instead of going after those three players,

526
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: put all of the money from their budget into just

527
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: landing Michael Jordan and creating an entire shoeline around him,

528
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: which hadn't been done before. So instead of getting three

529
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: players that are just not going to really do much

530
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: for the company, let's go after one and put all

531
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: of our eggs in one basket. Because he was so

532
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: passionate about him and was so just enthralled by everything

533
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was doing as a player that he knew

534
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: in his gut that this was the best decision to

535
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: make for Nike. One of the most powerful things in

536
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: this movie is see how Nike wasn't dominating at this

537
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: point and you root for Nike, which is weird to

538
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: root for a corporation to sign somebody to make more money,

539
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: but in this situation, it had me wanting Nike to win.

540
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: They felt like the underdog in this movie. So I

541
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: think that's why this movie really worked to be able

542
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: to depict such a large corporation to be the underdog

543
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: and we as Americans, we as people just love rooting

544
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: for an underdog story. So that was actually pretty powerful.

545
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: So I'll give that to Ben Affleck's filmmaking style to

546
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: really making this root for Nike in this situation and

547
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: also not really making it feel like a two hour

548
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: long Nike commercial. Now you do see a lot of

549
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Nike throughout, and I'll admit, after I watched this movie,

550
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: I started googling things like, ooh, I kind of like

551
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: those old school classic running shoes. I gotta find me

552
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: some of those. And also when it comes to actual

553
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: air Jordans, I didn't have any money growing up, so

554
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: I've never owned a pair of Air Jordans. But after

555
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: this movie, I was looking at those retro ones to

556
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: try and get a pair of the shoes featured in

557
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: this movie because they are so cool. So maybe a

558
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: little bit it did work as a commercial, but it

559
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they were just throwing it down your throat.

560
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: And also, it doesn't really depict Nike as this grand

561
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: organization that has no flaws. It shows some of their flaws.

562
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: It talks about some of their practices of how their

563
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: shoes are made, all of the struggles they are going through,

564
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really feel like Nike was behind this

565
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: and saying like, oh, you can't make us look bad

566
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: at all. I felt like it went through the highs

567
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: and the lows of the company to give a real

568
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: life picture of what was actually going on back in

569
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: the eighties. And from the very opening scene of this movie,

570
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: it felt like an eighties time capsule that eighties seemed

571
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: like a wild time to be alive. I really love

572
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: the cinematography and the opening shot of this movie, the

573
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: real grainy footage, all the contrasting colors of the eighties.

574
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: It really made it feel like a little time capsule.

575
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: And I love the shift in that opening scene where

576
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: it goes from that grainy eighties look to a more

577
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: modern appeal, but still kind of keeping that aesthetic. And

578
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: there was a lot of attention to tell in this movie.

579
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: Everything from when Matt Damon's character would go into a

580
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: seven eleven, all the products on the shelf looked like

581
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: eighties products, all the cars, all the fashion very much

582
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: felt like the eighties. So they did a really good

583
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: job of putting us in that mindset and believing that

584
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: this movie was made back in the day. That combined

585
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: with the eighties soundtrack made me feel nostalgic for the eighties.

586
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I grew up in the nineties, but after watching this movie,

587
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I was born in the wrong decade.

588
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: And that also helped with another aspect of the movie,

589
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: because a lot of this movie takes place over phone calls,

590
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: and it made me realize that you couldn't really make

591
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: a movie with a story like this past two thousand

592
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: and seven. Once the iPhone was created, nobody had phone

593
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: conversations like they do in this movie. A lot of

594
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: slamming of phones, a lot of dialing of phones, and

595
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the dialogue that took place was just

596
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: phone conversations, and that wouldn't really work today. It really

597
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: made me feel nostalgic for being able to slam a

598
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: phone call after a heated conversation. So in an iPhone

599
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: era world, in a smart own world, we won't really

600
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: have that anymore. So we have to find more stories

601
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: like this that took place before two thousand and seven

602
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: to have that gratification of somebody slamming a foam because

603
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: now if this story takes place, say you focus on

604
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: the Lebron James story, all that is email text messages dms,

605
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: it's not really good to feel the same way. There

606
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: were so many standout performances in this movie from Chris

607
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: Tucker in the opening scene. Very rarely do you get

608
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: such a powerful opening from a supporting cast member. But

609
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: it really made me appreciate Chris Tucker. And he has

610
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: been so funny throughout his entire career in all of

611
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: his roles from Friday that sometimes I wonder, like, why

612
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: doesn't he go back and do a Friday movie. This

613
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: movie was an example of why he should never do that,

614
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: because he is worth more than that, and he can

615
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: do a higher caliber movie like this and be great

616
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: in it. There were so much great dialogue throughout this

617
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: entire movie. That's what really carried it, because this movie

618
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: is just really straight on filmmaking. There are no bells

619
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: and whistles. It all down to the dialogue and the script.

620
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: And what blew me away about the making of Air

621
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: is that this entire movie exists because this dude, who

622
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: was unemployed in his twenties watched The Last Dance. This

623
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: twenty year old named Alex was just watching The Last Dance.

624
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: And there's a part in that documentary where they briefly

625
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: mentioned the partnership between Michael Jordan and Nike, and Alex

626
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: saw that and thought that deserves to be a movie.

627
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: Somebody has probably already made that movie, right, googled it up.

628
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: No one has made it. So he sat down and

629
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: wrote this script and just sent it out as a

630
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: spec script, and that is how this movie was made.

631
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: And Alex is a master of dialogue, because this movie

632
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: was more comedic than actual comedies. It's one of the

633
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: funniest movies I've seen in the last two years, and

634
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: it's not even trying to be funny. All of the

635
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: dialogue is just written so well that the entire theater

636
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: was laughing throughout this entire movie. And the dialogue felt

637
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: so natural between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, you think

638
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: they must have wrote it. No, it's all thanks to Alex.

639
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: So this movie is filmmaking greenwriting at its best. I

640
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: thought maybe the absence of Michael Jordan would make it

641
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: a little less exciting, but they proved me wrong. It

642
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: really doesn't need him at all. And this movie was

643
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: really inspiring to me because of Sonny mccarroll's story. It

644
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: really shows you by the end of the movie that

645
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: all you have to do is be passionate and put

646
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of time and effort to those things you

647
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: are passionate about, because that is what he did. When

648
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: all the big companies were going after Michael Jordan, they

649
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: were only telling him and boasting all of the things

650
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: that made their companies great, not what made him great.

651
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: And Sonny McCarroll was the only one that pointed out

652
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: all of the things that made Michael Jordan great and

653
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: why he would go on to be a global superstar.

654
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: So it really proved to me that you need to

655
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: find somebody who believes in you, somebody who really knows you.

656
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: Invest in the people who invest in you. And also

657
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: when making any kind of deal, whether in a job interview,

658
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: a deal with your significant other, always ask the right

659
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: questions that his movie is all about. Ask the right

660
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: questions in those situations that are going to benefit you

661
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: in the long run. I'll quote one of my favorite

662
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: eighties movies, Stand in the Liver. Sometimes you only see

663
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: the turn, you don't see the road ahead. Because mj

664
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: and his mom, they were not just trying to make

665
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of money with him signing with a random company.

666
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: They were looking out for his entire life, and they

667
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: knew he was something different, and they knew he needed

668
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: to get paid for that. The other really impressive thing

669
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: is that Ben Affleck has only made five movies in

670
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: his career. I'm really enjoying the veteran actor turn director

671
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: because I think they have this vision that only somebody

672
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: who has done this for so long at such a

673
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: high level and knows what it's like to be an

674
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: actor on screen and also knows what it's like to

675
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: get the performances that you need to make a movie great,

676
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: and he has proved that in just five films. This

677
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: is definitely my favorite Ben Affleck directed film. I'd go

678
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Air the Town from twenty ten at two and then

679
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: Argo from twenty twelve at number three, because it is

680
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: pretty impressive to make a movie about the origin of

681
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: a shoe be this entertaining, and even more impressive that

682
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: you could have us rooting for Nike and then leave

683
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: the theater wanting to go buy our own Air Jordan's.

684
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: So this movie is definitely a mussy and we're really

685
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: not getting a high level of sports drama anymore. So

686
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: this one is already easily entered for me into the

687
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: top ten sports dramas of all time in the last

688
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: five years, easily top three, probably the number one. If

689
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: you love movies like Moneyball, this is definitely right up

690
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: your ally and you don't even have to like sports

691
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: to enjoy this movie. So if I had to rate Air,

692
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: it is almost a perfect movie. And the only reason

693
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: I deducted a half a point is because with a

694
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: movie based on a true story like this, I would

695
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: want it to be as accurate as possible, and I

696
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: know you have to embellish some details to he would

697
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: up a story and really give it that driving factor

698
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: that's going to make you leave the theater and be inspired.

699
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: So I was that I was five out of five

700
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: leaving the theater. After doing some research on the story,

701
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: this is where my mind changed a little bit, and

702
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it. Even though it is

703
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: a true story, I feel like you can still spoil it.

704
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: There are some details in the story that Michael Jordan

705
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: said aren't completely true, and he oversaw a lot of

706
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: the filmmaking process early on in this movie to kind

707
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: of sign off on it, and what he said kind

708
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: of changes your perspective on a big aspect of this movie.

709
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say, but it's a pretty big aspect.

710
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: So at just the entertainment value, this is as good

711
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: as it gets. With the sports trauma, it would be

712
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: a five out of five, But because of that, I

713
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: can't let go what he said, so my rating for

714
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: Air would be four point five out of five. Air

715
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: Jordan's it's time to head down to movie, Mike Trait,

716
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Laura Paul, we finally have it, our first Latin superhero

717
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: from DC. I am so excited to see it, and

718
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: I didn't realize, probably until Black Panther came out, of

719
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: how important it is for different races, different ethnicities, different

720
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: colors of skin to be represented as superheroes. Just growing

721
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: up as a Mexican kid, I never really thought that

722
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: much about it because I just love superhero so much.

723
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: It never occurred to me that a superhero could look

724
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: like me. I just accepted them for what they were.

725
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: They existed in a world that I knew was imaginary,

726
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: not real, So I just never put those things together

727
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: that I could be represented by a superhero. In twenty

728
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: twenty three, maybe a little late to get our first

729
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: Latin superhero from DC, but I'm okay with it. Because

730
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: things are changing and even more so important it is

731
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: to me that doesn't really matter at somebody in my

732
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: thirties now and watching superhero movies. But to some kid

733
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: seeing this trailer of Blue Beetle and thinking, man, not

734
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: only does that kid look like me, but the family

735
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: looks like me. They live in an area that looks

736
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: like where I live. That is important and I think

737
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: that actually is what is going to keep superhero movies alive,

738
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: telling the stories of people from all around the world.

739
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: We saw it work so wonderfully with Black Panther movies,

740
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: like into the Spider Verse. It's a breath of fresh air,

741
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: and that is what we need to do when making

742
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: superhero movies. The only thing that worries me is that

743
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: with any DC movie, people tend to not give it

744
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: a chance even before it comes out. And I don't

745
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: want to see that happen with the first ever DC

746
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: movie to have a Latino superhero. So I am already

747
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: highly invested in this movie because what it means to me.

748
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: The movie is coming out in theaters on August eighteenth.

749
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: Before I get into my full thoughts of Blue Beetle,

750
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the trailer, I think

751
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: he likes me. What the free entry systems? Ready? So

752
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: this movie follows the hero Himeraeus. He is this teenager

753
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: who gets in possession of this ancient relic. It is

754
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: this beetle that in the trailer you see it in

755
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: this little box. It comes out and then it gets

756
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: slammed into his face. Him becomes the host of the

757
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 1: Blue Beetle, and now he has all these superpowers. And

758
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: digging more into the history of this character. He debuted

759
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: in the comics back in nineteen thirty nine, originally published

760
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: by Fox Comics, later acquired by Charlton Comics in the

761
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. This version was a little bit more lighthearted

762
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: and humorous than the original, and then d C Comics

763
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: acquired the rights to the character in nineteen eighty and

764
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: that is when they adapted him into their mainstream superhero universe.

765
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: And we didn't get the jime Res version until two

766
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: thousand and six when he was introduced in Infinite Crisis

767
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: number six. So that is this version of Blue Beetle

768
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: we are getting. He is a teenager living in Elbasso, Texas.

769
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Although I was a little bombed, this movie actually isn't

770
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: set in Elbasso. Instead, they decided to put it into

771
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: a fictional city called Balmata City, so it's a futuristic

772
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: beach town with a lot of palm trees. I just

773
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: really wanted to see a Mexican character in Elbasso and

774
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: how I would describe Blue Beetles characters. He's kind of

775
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: like DC Spider Man. He's a teenager. Instead of being

776
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: bit by a spider he is taken over by this beetle.

777
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: Although he doesn't have the same superpowers as Spider Man,

778
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of combining the Iron Spider suit and Iron

779
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: Man qualities. He has these powerful hand blasts and beams.

780
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: He has sound many population technomorphy. He has a cool

781
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: spaceship that looks like a beetle, and then the trailer.

782
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: He also has this AI system that can create anything

783
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: he imagines, which a lot of the movie kind of

784
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: looks like him learning all the ins and outs of

785
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: what the Blue Beetle can do. It kind of reminds

786
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: me of the scene in Spider Man Homecoming where Peter

787
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: wants to take off the training wheels protocol and is

788
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: trying to unleash the full power of the Spider Man's

789
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: suit with all the technology that Tony Stark is put

790
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: into it. That is kind of the feeling I get

791
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: out of Blue Beetle a little bit iron Man, a

792
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: little bit Spider Man with a Latin twist. So in

793
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: this movie, you have Zolo many Duena playing Blue Beetle,

794
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: you also have George Lopez. It is directed by anhell

795
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: Manuel Soto and it is coming out on August eighteenth,

796
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: So I am really loving the representation in this movie.

797
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: I like the superhero teenager route. I think when done correctly,

798
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: it brings a lot of fun to a movie. If

799
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: DC can find a way to make this story different

800
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: than what is happening in Chosam Teenagers, I think they

801
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: have a great shot. The only thing I'm not blown

802
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: away by is the visuals in this movie. Before this trailer,

803
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: we didn't really know what the Blue Beetle character was

804
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: going to look like, and I was a little underwhelmed

805
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: the first time I saw the suit. It almost looks

806
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: like the CGI isn't quite done yet, So I don't

807
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: know if this is actually the final look we are

808
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: getting in the movie. Maybe this was still in the

809
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: early stages of development and they cut the trailer from

810
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: that but I was kind of hoping that the visuals

811
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: would be a little bit more crisp. Especially in some

812
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: of these close ups it almost looks like video game

813
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: quality graphics. I am very aware in this trailer that

814
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: I am watching something computer generated, and I think movies

815
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: have reached a point now that I need to be

816
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: convinced that this could actually happen in real life. It

817
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: needs to look very realistic to me, unless it's very

818
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: campy and kid friendly looking, and I don't really think

819
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: this movie calls for that. So I was a little

820
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: bit underwhelmed by the VFX in this movie, which is

821
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: surprising to me because I feel the one place that

822
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: DC really outshines Marvel recently is with their visual effects.

823
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Marvel is overworking their department right now,

824
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: and we've even seen the stories come out about that

825
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: of their conditions and things being rushed over there. I

826
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: felt like DC has had a pretty good grasp on

827
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: making really crisp looking superheroes. I didn't really feel that

828
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: in this trailer. It almost looked like straight to TV

829
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: quality to me, not a bad thing. It was just

830
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: hard for me to get excited about the fight scenes

831
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: with our character here. In the suit. Especially with this

832
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: suit that can transform itself and you have all these

833
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: cool weapons like cannons, blades and shields. I want to

834
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: feel that a little bit more. This suit can also

835
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: manipulate energy. It can also make things go invisible. So

836
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe they're just not giving us everything in this trailer.

837
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll set us up to blow us away later.

838
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: I am hoping for that again. It comes out on

839
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: August eighteenth. Dare I say it? I am hyped for it.

840
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: This links addition of movie or bar and that is

841
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: good to do it for another episode here of the podcast.

842
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: But before I go, I gotta give my listeners shout

843
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: out this week. It is a collective shout out because

844
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: I announced last week that I am running a marathon again,

845
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: my second marathon ever. If you're not aware, I am

846
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: a pretty avid runner now. It all started ten years

847
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: ago when I made the decision to get healthy, and

848
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: the first step in my health journey was to just

849
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: get my body moving. My first goal was to be

850
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: able to run a mile without stopping, and that was

851
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: hard for me. I was almost three hundred pounds. I

852
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: could not run whatsoever. I could barely walk a mile

853
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: without being at a loss for breath. But within that

854
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: first year I made it a goal to do that.

855
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: I was able to run a mile without stopping. One

856
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: mile turned into two, turned into three, and in twenty seventeen,

857
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: I ran my first marathon ever and it was the

858
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: hardest thing I'd ever done. That I told myself I

859
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: would never do it again. But then I found out

860
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: that I could run a marathon and also raise money

861
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: for a great cause. So I am running the Nashville

862
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: Marathon on April twenty second and raising money for Saint Jude.

863
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: And I put this up last week and the response

864
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: was something I didn't really expect. I set my goal

865
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: initially at five hundred dollars, and through the power of

866
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: the B team, through the power of the movie crew,

867
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: and just everybody's support, we were able to meet that

868
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: so fast that I just kept upping the goal. So

869
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: at the time of recording this, I went from wanting

870
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 1: to hit five hundred dollars to hitting thirty five hundred dollars,

871
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: which is crazy to me. So I wanted to thank

872
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: everybody who donated. I was going through the list of

873
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: donors trying to reply to everybody, couldn't get to everyone,

874
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: so I just wanted to say thank you to everybody,

875
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: because I saw a lot of people who said that

876
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: they loved the podcast and that meant a lot to me.

877
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: And reading all the stories you shared in the comment

878
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: section of those donations really meant a lot to me

879
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: and really gave me the motivation I was looking forward

880
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: to really do well in this marathon, because even though

881
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: I'm an avid runner still now, it was so hard

882
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: the first time, I made a lot of mistakes and

883
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: I am hoping to not make those again the second

884
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: time around. But now that I see the support here

885
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: and that I know that this money that we all

886
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: raised is going to a great place and going to

887
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: the kids at Saint Jude, I think it's going to

888
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: feel a whole lot different to me. So thank you

889
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: to everybody who donated. You can still donate if you

890
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: are so inclined to. I will put the link in

891
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: the episode notes of this podcast, so all you have

892
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: to do is click it and any amount helps. We've

893
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: already far reached anything I thought would be possible through this,

894
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: so thank you. Hope you enjoyed this week's episode. There

Speaker 1: There are so many movies coming out right now, so

898
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,880
