So going into this film, which is a 39 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: companion piece, not a remake, not a reboot, It is 40 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: a prequel to that original story of Willie Wonka. 41 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: Way before he gets to the chocolate factory. 42 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: It is a young Wonka try to open his own 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: candy shop, goes to a new City has no money, 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: and then realizes that it's going to be really tough 45 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: to do because there are people in this city who 46 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: already run and have a lock on the candy and 47 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: chocolate department, and they don't want him to succeed. 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: But Willie Wonka. 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: Knows where there's a will, there is a way, so 50 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: he teams up with some people who see his vision, 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: see his big plan, and help him accomplish his dream. 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: This movie has fantastic visuals and fantastic music, which I 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: really feel like compliments the first movie, which the reason 54 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: that movie is one of my favorites of all time 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: is because it has everything inside of it that I 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: look for in a movie. It's so theatrical, The musical 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: numbers are very big and memorable. They have incredible set design, 58 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: incredible wardrobe. But at the core of it, it is 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: such a great story about Charlie Buckett, a kid who. 60 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: Comes from nothing poor. 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: He is hungry, and all he wants to do is 62 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: really be able to provide for his family and give 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: them something to eat, and really just try to find 64 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: a way to feel like a normal kid, because since 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a normal life, he doesn't get to experience, 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: those little things like having a part of chocolate seems 67 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: so out of reach for him. So I think as 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: a kid, I truly just identified with that. And I 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: feel like this movie spans generations because I was born 70 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: in ninety one. The movie came out twenty years before 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: I was even born, but it still feels like my childhood. 72 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: And I've gone back to this movie so many times 73 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: because i just want to feel that again. And I 74 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: think because this movie was done with so much practical effects, 75 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: and because Jane Wilder is so amazing, it is really 76 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: a timeless movie. Particularly That's probably why I didn't love 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: the Johnny Depp version, which was directed by Tim Burton, 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: because it had so much more cgi the oplumpas were 79 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: played by one person that was duplicated throughout the film. 80 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: It just didn't really have that same feel to it. 81 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: But with Paul King's version, it does a really great 82 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: job at honoring that first one but also giving it 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: a modern feel even though it's a prequel, with all 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: of the special effects being a lot more expensive looking 85 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: and elaborate, and obviously using that to heighten the story, 86 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: but without it feeling so overproduced and looking completely unrecognizable. 87 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: There is still so much life to this movie with 88 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: all of the fantastic elements, but at the core of it, 89 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: like the original, it is just a great story about 90 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: a young Willy Wonka trying to make his name known, 91 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: gives him a really great backstory, and also presents some 92 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: really new, great characters like Noodle, who we'll hear from 93 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Kayla Lane later about what she loved about playing that character. 94 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: So I really feel like this movie has something for everybody. 95 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: So again, you can own Wonka now on digital and 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: on four k UHD on February twenty seventh. Let's get 97 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: into these interviews. First, we're talking to director Paul King, 98 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: who also directed Paddington I and Paddington two. He is 99 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the first director I've talked to they can say he 100 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: has a movie with a ninety nine percent Ron Tomatoes score, 101 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: and that is well deserved for Paddington too. So let's 102 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: talk to Paul now about why he wanted Timothy shallow 103 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: May to play Wonka, what he loved about the original 104 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: that he didn't get to include in his version, and 105 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: how he felt about people who had no idea going 106 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: into this movie that it was a musical. 107 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: Carry you, Paul I'm really good. 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 5: Thank you. 109 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 6: How are you? 110 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: I am great good to get to talk to you. 111 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: The original Willie Wonka is one of my top ten 112 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time, so I hold it very 113 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: precious and after seeing Wonka, I completely loved it, and 114 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: I'd have to imagine it was such a hard thing 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: to do. And the thing I want to start with 116 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: first is I love the way Timothy shallow May portrayed Wonka. 117 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Did you have that vision first before he was cast? 118 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Or was he cast and then that vision happened and 119 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: it came to life. 120 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 5: Well, that's a really good question. First of all, thank you. 121 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 6: That means a huge amounts to me because the original 122 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 6: Willi Wonka is is right up there for me too, 123 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 6: and it's a daunting experience to kind of walk in 124 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 6: those footsteps. I think when I started working on the movie, 125 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 6: i'd been fortunate enough to meet Timothy in that kind 126 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 6: of year where he did call me by your name, 127 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 6: and Lady Burden knew what a wonderful actor he was, 128 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 6: and I really wanted to write something for him, and 129 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 6: so pretty much from the second David Haymees suggested a 130 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 6: young Willy Wonka film to me, I was like, well, 131 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 6: that could be Timothy Shallo. 132 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: Mate. 133 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 6: So there's obviously never a guarantee that you're going to 134 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 6: get the actor that you want, but in my head 135 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 6: I sort of went, well, him or someone like him, 136 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 6: I don't know who there is like him would be 137 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 6: absolutely wonderful in this world because he feels so sort 138 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 6: of mercurial, but he's also emotionally grounded and slightly unknowable, 139 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 6: and he has that whole sort of range. And I 140 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 6: felt that he could feel like a younger Willy Wonk 141 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 6: or you know, Geene Marder twenty years before the events 142 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 6: of that movie. Like it felt like there's a sort 143 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 6: of kinship there somehow, but without doing an impression. And 144 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: you know, once we've written the script and sort of 145 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 6: sent it to him, it's a nerve wracking moment because 146 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 6: you sort of go, if it's not you, I really. 147 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 5: Don't know who it could have been.

The thing I was surprised about is a 260 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: lot of people somehow did it realize they were going 261 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: into a musical. Well, it's such a big part of 262 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: the first one. It's such a big a part of 263 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: the second one. The music is like the foundation of 264 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: the movie, Like it's a musical. Were you surprised about 265 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: that and people saying, ah, I had no idea as 266 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: a musical. 267 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I think it was. It's tricky because it's 268 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 5: sort of. 269 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 6: A lot of the promotional materials didn't really have any 270 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 6: singing in them, or that you know, there would be 271 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 6: a shot. But it's a and I know there's a 272 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 6: sort of larger conversation about how musicals are sold, which 273 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 6: is is a really tricky thing to do because. 274 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: It's almost like a bad word to say it's a musical, 275 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: like somebody's not gonna go watch it. 276 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: That's what it feels like to me. 277 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 5: I think I think that is true, and I think 278 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 5: some some people. 279 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 6: The thing is some people will immediately just go, I 280 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 6: don't like a musical, and and that's the end of 281 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 6: their conversation. But I always kind of go, really, when 282 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 6: I meet somebody says they don't like musicals, and you go, 283 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 6: you don't like singing in the rain, and they're like, 284 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 6: the rain You what about sounding music? Well, obviously sound 285 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 6: of music's good. 286 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 5: What you don't like? You I like all of those. 287 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think it's I think it's more that 288 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 6: so yeah, hopefully, hopefully. And I think what's difficult with 289 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 6: a musical with original songs like we have is that 290 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 6: you sort of go They're hard to get into promotional 291 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 6: materials because people don't know them, and you sort of go, 292 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 6: it's hard to kind of so it was easier for 293 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 6: the to lean on something like your imagination, where you go, 294 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 6: people know that one, they know the ump lumpus tune 295 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 6: and and and it's kind of there's a sort of recognition, 296 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: but hopefully people have enjoyed the songs when they got 297 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 6: to them eventually. 298 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean I had a song steck in my head. 299 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: I was leaving the theater singing scrub scrub. 300 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, me too. 301 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: So you've succeeded at telling which I loved that this 302 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: was a companion piece and not a roommake, not a sequel. 303 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: You've succeeded at the young Willie Wanger story. I feel 304 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: like there's another story there because you really showed Wanco 305 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: and he was like bright eyed and bushy tail before 306 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: he had any level of cynicism which we saw in 307 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy one version. You think there's a story 308 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,359 Speaker 1: there where he kind of starts to turn his perspective 309 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, becomes a little bit more jaded. 310 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 6: Yes, I do, Yes, I think there's absolutely a story there. 311 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 6: Think it's I think it's a real challenge with the 312 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 6: story where you feel he becomes more cynical and jaded 313 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 6: to sort of find an ending that is satisfactory. And 314 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 6: I think one of the things that liberated us for 315 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 6: this movie was to go, We're not going to try 316 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 6: and take him all the Way to the Chocolate Factory, 317 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 6: because he seems quite a sort of damaged soul at 318 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 6: the beginning of the Chocolate Batu. You know, he's rittly 319 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 6: reclusive and he's retreat it by the walls. So I 320 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 6: think there could absolutely be other Willing Wonk stories that 321 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 6: could work, and I would love to find one, but 322 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 6: they're hard to find. And in a way, the closer 323 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 6: you get to the beginning of Charlie that the harder 324 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 6: it gets, you know, to find a. 325 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 5: Movie that works as a story. But we'll certainly give 326 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 5: it a go. 327 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: Well, I'm in a prayer to my tickets already. I'm 328 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: already in for it. If you make it gay great, 329 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: Thank you, I appreciate it. Paul's great. Good to talk 330 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: to you. 331 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 5: It's toy to you too, Thanks so much. 332 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: Now let's talk to Kayla Laine, who played Noodle in 333 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: the movie. 334 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: She is a young star on the rise. 335 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Her TV credits include Firebuds, Family Reunion, and This is 336 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: Us on NBC. She was also in Ryan Murphy's Hollywood 337 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: and Showtime's Kidding, starring Jim Carrey. She was only twelve 338 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: years old when she filmed this movie. She's fourteen now, 339 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and to think that she was born the year I 340 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: graduated high school made me feel oddly old. So I 341 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: wanted to dive into the mind of a teenager who 342 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: just had their breakout role and it's starting to make 343 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: their name known in the world. I love her character 344 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: in this movie. I also love the energy she brought 345 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: in this interview.

I am from Waksahatchie, 350 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: so it's just amazing to see another fellow north text 351 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: and crushing it right now. 352 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: Yep, me too. Wow, that's cool. 353 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: So I imagine, like, what was it like the first 354 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: time you saw yourself on the big screen? 355 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 4: I mean, like, I can't even lie. I was like 356 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: I was. I was like so nervous to see myself 357 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 4: on screen. I mean, I've seen myself on screen, but 358 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 4: to a movie that is this big. I was so 359 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: nervous to see myself on screen. I didn't know what 360 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: I looked like. I didn't know how when I first 361 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 4: saw myself on screen, I hadn't seen the movie at all. 362 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 4: I mean I've seen little clips and stuff, but I 363 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: hadn't seen anything, so I was just like, I was 364 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: like very nervous. But once I saw myself on screen 365 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: and I was like wow, it was just like it 366 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: took me. Like I was just literally crying. It was crazy. 367 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: I loved it. 368 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: How supportive has your mom been through all this? 369 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: I know she's, oh, yeah, very supportive. I couldn't. I 370 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: could not have done anything without my mom. I mean, 371 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 4: like she's helped me literally do everything. I mean she 372 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: helped me set up this this camera, like and she's 373 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: helped me everything, and yeah, like she's yeah, she's just 374 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: the best mom. 375 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: Does she help you with your lines when you're to 376 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: des trying to figure out everything? 377 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 4: Definitely? I mean I sometimes I would have like coaches, 378 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: but my mom was definitely my coach. She's my mamajer. 379 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: She helps me with everything. She helps me with She 380 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 4: also set up the camera, she helps with self taped, 381 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 4: she helps me learn my scripts. I mean like she's 382 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 4: she does everything. 383 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: What is your process of learning your lines and how 384 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: long does it take you? 385 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: Well, I've been learning lines since I was probably like 386 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 4: seven or eight. But it's very easy. Actually, it's very 387 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 4: easy to me, And well, I know, I've I've done 388 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 4: a lot of lines now, so it's kind of I 389 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: mean I should be it should be easier, but like 390 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 4: it's like super easy. All I have to do is 391 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: like read a couple of times over and I what 392 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 4: I actually do is I put it under my pillow, 393 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 4: so I kind of like sleep on it and in 394 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 4: the morning when I wake up, it feels like I 395 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 4: feel like I just have it in my brain. Like 396 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 4: that's just kind of like my technique of learning my lines. 397 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: And how soon after filming and you're rapped with everything, 398 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: do you forget everything or could you, like right now 399 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: go back into a Noodle line. 400 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 4: I could definitely go back into a Noodle line. Yes. 401 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: The thing I loved about the character I think it's 402 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 1: such a great example for young girls or just young people. 403 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: What is your favorite aspect of Noodle that you love. 404 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: That's a good question. I love how much she commits 405 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 4: to things. She really she really has her dreams, and 406 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 4: she knows what she wants, and she has everything laid 407 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 4: out and she knows what she she plans to have 408 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 4: in the future. But she the only thing is she 409 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 4: doesn't she doesn't like think it's gonna happen. But she 410 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 4: has it all there, but she's like, I don't know, 411 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 4: I don't know, this probably isn't gonna happen, because you know, 412 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 4: I this is happening, and this is happening. But she's 413 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 4: very she's very timid with Willy at first because she 414 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 4: knows that she knows that people could become like enemies 415 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: at any time in her life, and so she doesn't 416 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 4: like to become friends with a lot of people. But 417 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: she knows exactly what she wants. She knows that she 418 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 4: wants she wants to see her mom again and all 419 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 4: those type of things. And I think that's like one 420 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: thing that I really like about her. 421 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: Is how she Yeah, I heard that Timothy shallow May 422 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: has an interesting way of how he gets a new character. 423 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: You're working right alongside of him, did you see how 424 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: he gets into the Wonka character. 425 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he kind of Just one thing that he 426 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: does that I like about him is that he likes 427 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 4: to walk around and set with his cane. He kind 428 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 4: of walks around with his cane and he kind of 429 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 4: swings it around and it kind of just gets into 430 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 4: that like Willy Wonka mindset. I've never seen him like 431 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 4: practice his lines or anything like that. But I have 432 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: seen him like he stays in character. Definitely. He definitely 433 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 4: stays in character all the time on set because he's 434 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: always goofing around and having fun. Yeah, he's definitely, he's 435 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: all the He's Willy Wonk all the time. 436 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: So what was like the one thing you learned from 437 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 2: watching him? 438 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 4: Ooh, one thing that I learned from watching him. I 439 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 4: definitely learned how to how to get into character because 440 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 4: he liked to like he like to kind of step 441 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 4: off and kind of like get into his character. I 442 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 4: would see him sometimes standing on to the side and 443 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 4: nobody's around him. He's just kind of getting into his character. 444 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: And I really, I really do admire that about him 445 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 4: because he just takes the time and like, Okay, you're 446 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 4: Willi Wanka. You get into that mindset and like I 447 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: I don't really do that. I I don't. I don't 448 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 4: do that at all. So to see him like stand 449 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 4: on the side and kind of put all that that 450 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 4: Willy Wonka energy inside of him was really cool. 451 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: I appreciate the time, Kayla. Great talking to you, thank you. 452 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: Great talking to Paul Keane. Great talking to Kaylaleen, we'll 453 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: come back and talk about Drive Away Dolls, and then 454 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: in the trailer park we'll talk about what I think 455 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: about the new Twister movie. Let's get into it now. 456 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: Boiler Free movie review of Drive Away Dolls. This movie 457 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: was the palate cleanser that I needed. And we're in 458 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: a weird time for movies right now. January February, we're 459 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: still in the dumb months. We're about to get into 460 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: March with Dune coming out. But this is kind of 461 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: the movie I needed right now. A movie I didn't 462 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: really need to think a whole lot about, a movie 463 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: that was under ninety it was only an hour and 464 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: sixteen minutes from start to finish, at least up until 465 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: the credits, and a movie I didn't have to think 466 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: a whole lot about a movie that was very self 467 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: aware and on the joke. So all those things combined together, 468 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: and also that I didn't really know entirely what I 469 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: was getting into before going in to see this, I 470 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: think that led me to really enjoy this movie. I 471 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: will say right at the top, this movie is not 472 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: for everybody. Drive Away Dolls is a very hard arm movie. 473 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: A lot of graphic scenes, obviously a lot of language 474 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: and violence, but I think at the core of this 475 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: movie it has a lot of heart, It has some 476 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: good intention. So even myself, I don't think I was 477 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: a primary demographic for this movie, and looking at the 478 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: people in the theater when we went to go watch this, 479 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: I just found it interesting how everybody took in this movie, 480 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: which I'll get into more, but what the movie is about. 481 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: You have two girls who go on a last minute 482 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: trip to Tallahassee. 483 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: Margaret Quailey plays. 484 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: A girl named Jamie who is this really free spirit 485 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: from Texas. She talks with the Southern accent, and me 486 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: being from Texas, I always find it funny how somebody 487 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: chooses to take on a Texas accent, because they always 488 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: turn it up to attend. But I think in the 489 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: case of this movie, it actually played into it really well. 490 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: You also have her friend in the movie is named Marion, 491 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: who is this very up type person who is trying 492 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: to find somebody just to hook up with. And that 493 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: is really the entire plotline of this film. It kind 494 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: of has that classic dynamic of the odd couple. One 495 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: being very uptight and serious, likes to read, likes to 496 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: go home and go to sleep on time, and the 497 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: other one being the more wild person who can just 498 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: go into a bar, meet somebody and take them home. 499 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: Where the action takes place is on their trip to Tallahassee. 500 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: They are taking a drive away car, which is a 501 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: car you take from one location to another, and although 502 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: the movie never really says when it takes place, it 503 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: has a feeling of like the late seventies early eighties, 504 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: where something like this was a little bit more common. 505 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: So they go to rent a car to drive it 506 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: to Tallahassee, and at the same time, there are these 507 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: criminals who have contacted the same place and said, hey, 508 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: we're going to send a person to pick up a 509 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: car to take it to Tallahassee because it has to 510 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: be there tonight. And these criminals have placed something inside 511 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: the car that they. 512 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: Don't really say what it is, but it's. 513 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: Very incriminating and very important that it gets to Tallahassee 514 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: on time. The girls show up right after that guy 515 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: gets that phone call, so he thinks, oh, this has 516 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: to be the people they sent, so a classic mix 517 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: up case, and the movie is very wacky like this. 518 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of the plotline in blame 519 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: check wherever they're gonna send somebody to pick up the 520 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: million dollar check. Preston Waters happens to go in because 521 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: he was given a blank check. He decides to write 522 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: it in for a million dollars. He shows up at 523 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: the right time and they're like, uh, they send a 524 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: kid to cash the million dollar check. They give him 525 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: the money, and then the criminals shows up right after 526 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: him and they're like, we just gave the money to 527 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: the kid. So nothing novel here in the premise, but 528 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: in the storytelling here it works because it's very animated storytelling. 529 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me a little bit of Scott 530 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Pilgrim mixed with like road trip mixed with a little 531 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: bit of female dumb and dumber. They kind of have 532 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: that dynamic, even though neither of them are dumb. I 533 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: think just the fact that it's a road trip movie, 534 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: one of them is a little bit more reckless and 535 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: one of them is a little bit more by The 536 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: book also kind of reminded me of Jeff Daniels in 537 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: Something Wild. I just love road trip movies, and this 538 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: one really reminded me of a movie that probably would 539 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: have come out in the late nineties and early two thousands, 540 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: and this would have been a movie that would have 541 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: had so much success then because it had that kind 542 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: of feeling to me of this is a movie that 543 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: I would have loved to have discovered when I was younger, 544 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: probably like thirteen fourteen, where I probably should not have 545 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: been watching R rated movies, but at that time I did. 546 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: I think we. 547 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: Probably all did. And this film has that feeling of 548 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: if it were on a VHS tape, it would be 549 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: the movie passed around among friends. It kind of has 550 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: that cult classic vibe of like a Super Trooper that 551 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: nobody saw it in theaters really, but everybody saw it 552 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: on a VHS tape that just got passed around and 553 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: passed around. Nobody ever bought a copy. But somehow we 554 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: all watch these types of movies. So that makes me 555 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: excited knowing that movies like this are being made, even 556 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: though the financial ramifications of this movie aren't great, probably 557 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: cost about twenty million dollars to make and opening weekend 558 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: only made two point five million dollars. Again, it is 559 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: a weird time for movies right now, not a whole 560 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: lot of people motivated to get into the theaters. But 561 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: I think if it came out at a different time, 562 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: or even if it went straight to streaming, probably more 563 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: people would have seen it. And the movie has a 564 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: great director, Ethan Cohen, who he normally does movies with 565 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: his brother. You're probably familiar with the Coen brothers. They've 566 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: done movies like Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Burn After 567 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: reading My favorite, No Country for Old Men, And this 568 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: is the first movie that Ethan has done without his brother. 569 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: And the movie's not the biggest departure from the types 570 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: of films that they do. It still has that comedic 571 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: element to it, but it's a little bit more experimental 572 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: in some of the storytelling aspects. It is very cartoonish, 573 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: but on purpose very campy, and I think going into it, 574 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: I was expecting something a little bit different, a little 575 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: bit more grounded, but the movie really doesn't take place 576 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: in our reality. I don't necessarily love movies that are 577 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: just fun for the sake of being fun. That is 578 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: all fine if I'm watching a movie for free, but 579 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: if it's a movie that I'm going to the theater to 580 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: watch and pay money for, I don't really just want 581 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: to watch something ridiculously fun and leave, like h that 582 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: was a fun old time But in this case, the 583 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: things that helped it were the fact that Margaret Quaelely 584 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,719 Speaker 1: was really good. Her character was very well written, and 585 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: she also showed how much of a rain she has 586 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: because she is an actress that I really loved and 587 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: made which is much more of a dramatic role. 588 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: She's also been in movies like. 589 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: Poor Things, and it was cool to see her in 590 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: a leading role and really show how much comedic timing 591 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: she had. But this movie allowed me to see a 592 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: different side of her, and I was really impressed by 593 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: that her and Geraldinevissenathwin had amazing chemistry and that is 594 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: really what was the driving force in this movie. You 595 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: also had Beanie Feldstein who was a supporting actor in 596 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: this and she played a cop and I already know 597 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: her work from Book Smart in her other films how 598 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: much great comedic timing she has. I won't say she 599 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: stole the show from the other actors, but without her 600 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: the movie would have had a little bit of a lull. 601 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: But she was definitely that something extra that the movie 602 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: needed to carry it along. Which is interesting because, like 603 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: I said, the movie is under an hour in twenty minutes, 604 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: so there's really just NonStop action, but in moments it 605 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: felt like they ran out of footage because they did 606 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: these little sequences in between that were almost like that 607 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: seventies show transition things where they have all the characters 608 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: spinning around in the little groovy kind of visual effects, 609 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: and some of those went on a little bit too long. 610 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: That's where they play some other actor cameos in between. 611 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: It almost felt like they were trying to stretch it 612 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: out a little bit, and that's what kind of made 613 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: me feel like they almost didn't have enough story or 614 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: maybe ran out of money to make the movie they 615 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: wanted to make, which leads me to my biggest criticism 616 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: with this movie. And again, I still found the movie entertaining. 617 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: It was fun. 618 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: I was in and out of there, so I never 619 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: really had time to not enjoy the movie. As a 620 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: matter of fact, at one point I had to use 621 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: the pressroom and I didn't leave because I didn't want 622 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: to miss anything. After all was said and done, I 623 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: thought to myself, what was the purpose of this movie? 624 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: I just needed one. 625 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: Thing to be the takeaway from the film, whether it 626 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: be just a comment on friendship, some kind of storyline 627 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: that went along that made me think, oh, this is 628 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: why I should tell people to go check out this movie. 629 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: But the entire story was really just set up to 630 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: make one joke. But the problem with that if you 631 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: end up not finding that joke funny, you really will 632 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: have a hard time enjoying this movie. And I can 633 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: tell it was kind of going for a modern day 634 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: Thelma and Louise with a heavy hand on the R 635 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: rating and the raunchiness. Even though I know I'm not 636 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: the key demographic for this movie, I still found myself 637 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: laughing out loud at times. But there's almost a point 638 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: in the movie where it makes you feel, as the 639 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: viewer that the joke is on you. You decided to 640 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: go see this movie, and now we're gonna shove cake 641 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: in your face. But overall, for Driveaway Dolls, I give 642 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: it three point five out of five road trips. 643 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike. 644 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: Trailer Paul, I have never been so nervous for a 645 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: trailer to drop. 646 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 2: Came out back during the Super Bowl. 647 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: Twister is one of my favorite movies of all time, 648 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: and I think is the movie that I've seen the most, 649 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: probably over fifty times. The reason I love the first 650 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: one so much is because growing up in a trailer park, 651 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: my biggest fear was tornadoes. There was nowhere to go 652 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: if a tornado hit our trailer park. So watching this 653 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: movie was kind of like how Batman would associate himself 654 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: with the thing he was scared about. Bats I thought 655 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: along those same lines, if I watched a movie about tornadoes, 656 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: I would become less intimidated by them. I wouldn't be 657 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: scared every time we got a threat of severe weather. 658 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: And it kind of helped, But what it really did 659 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: was make me develop a love for disaster movies, which 660 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: I feel is the genre that gets kind of ridiculed, 661 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: gets overlooked a little bit, gets reduced to nothing because yes, 662 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: maybe they are not the best films on paper, but 663 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: there is something about a disaster film that warms my 664 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: heart that It's kind of like how some people are 665 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: really into true crime. They'll eat up any podcasts or 666 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: any Netflix series. That is how I feel about disaster movies. 667 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: It could be the worst disaster movie of all time, 668 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: and there's still something that I grasp onto just because 669 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I like the formula of it. And Twister has always 670 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: been the goat in my mind when it comes to 671 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: these movies. I also love the enselable cast of the 672 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: original movie with phillips seymore Hoffman, Helen Hunt, and Bill Paxton. 673 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: And how I wish that Bill Paxton and phillips seymore 674 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: Hoffman were still alive to be a part of this one. 675 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about how really nobody from the original 676 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: one is returning to this movie. 677 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: But this is the movie that I could quote line 678 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: for a line and also one that. 679 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: I feel still holds up given the special effects, given 680 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: the technology at that time, not just that goes into 681 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: the movie, but the computers they're using and everything throughout 682 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: that would feel like, oh, this is completely a nineties movie. 683 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: So going into a new chapter, which is what Twisters is, 684 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: it's not a remake of the original. It's also not 685 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: a direct sequel. They are calling it a chapter in 686 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: the story. So in my mind that original one is 687 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of erasing my memory as I go into this one. 688 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: And given the look at the first trailer, my initial 689 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: reaction is. 690 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: I love it. 691 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: So I'll get into more specifics, but the movie is 692 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: coming out this summer on July nineteenth. Before I get 693 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: into that, here is just a little bit of the 694 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: Twisters trailer. You thought you'd could destroyed a tornad, though 695 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: you never had a chance. 696 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: Do you want one? 697 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 3: You don't face your fears? 698 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: You're right them. 699 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 6: Dance. 700 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: So even that just little line right there, it kind 701 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: of sounds like that we got Cayle's line from the 702 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: original movie. But they also have twin Twisters in the 703 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: original movie. But it's not just a direct ripoff line. 704 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: It still feels kind of like, Okay, we're going for 705 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: something different. We're gonna give nods to the original movie 706 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: to remind all the fans, hey, we see you, but 707 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: this is gonna be its own thing. I even see 708 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: it with the truck driven by Glenn Powell's character, which 709 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: is a nod to Bill Paxton's red ram truck that 710 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: he had in the original movie. I was kind of 711 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: hoping for the yellow truck that Helen Hunt drove, but 712 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: maybe that would be a little too on the nose. 713 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: But again, we're going for subtle references here that I 714 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: think will be the key to making this feel like 715 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: it's inside of that Twister world as to not confuse 716 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: people that this is some kind of a remake or 717 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: a sequel. 718 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: So in this cast, we have Daisy. 719 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: Edgar Jones, who I really loved and where the Crawdads Sing. 720 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: She plays Kate Cooper, and I originally thought that she 721 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: was going to be the daughter of Joe played by 722 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: Helen Hunt in the original one. It doesn't look like 723 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: they have any connection whatsoever, but still kind of going 724 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: for that same type of role, having that same kind 725 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: of character essence to her. We have Glenn Powell as 726 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,239 Speaker 1: Tyler Owens and Anthony Ramos as Hobby, So those are 727 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: our three leads in this movie. So what is the 728 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: story about? Centers around Kate Cooper played by Daisy Edgar Jones. 729 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: She is a former stormchaser haunted by a devastating encounter 730 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: with the tornado during her college years, who is now 731 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: studying storm patterns. 732 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: In New York City. 733 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: And then she is lured back into the open planes 734 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: by your friend Hobby played by Anthony Jamos, and together 735 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: they are going to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. 736 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: So similar vibes and storylines to the original movie where 737 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: they are trying to get Dorothy in the air so 738 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: they could have all these sensors go into the tornado 739 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: and send them back information. Really the goal in the 740 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: original movie was they were trying to make tornado alerts faster, 741 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: therefore saving lives, So probably something similar here that they're 742 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: going to try and do. But then their characters cross 743 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 1: pass with Tyler Owens played by Glenn Powell, who has 744 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: described as a charming and reckless social media superstar who 745 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: thrives on posting his stormchasing content adventures online, so he 746 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: is really in it for the danger. So it looks 747 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: like Glenn Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones team up and 748 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 1: then they go against a competing storm chaser team, much 749 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: like they also did in the original movie. So a 750 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: lot of parallels here, and I think the action in 751 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: this trailer looks great. I really love how they are 752 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: showcasing the destruction of the tornado, which looks like a 753 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: lot more chaos. We see our main characters in some 754 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: really dangerous looking situations throughout this trailer, and what I 755 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: can't get over is how how much I think that 756 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: these scenes demand the big screen. Not only the visuals, 757 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: but the sound design in this trailer is fantastic. I 758 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: am waiting for that feeling of sitting in the theater 759 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: and hearing that rumble of all the storm sounds, the 760 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: wind and the rumble of the tornado. That is what 761 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. That is what I want in 762 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: a big summer blockbuster of this caliber. 763 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 2: The only thing that threw me. 764 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: Off from the trailer just a little bit, but I 765 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: think it could be justified. I don't love the look 766 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: inside of the truck with the GoPro camera. I think 767 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,959 Speaker 1: that dates it a little bit. And yes, the one 768 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: thing that stands out from watching the original is seeing 769 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: them on really big block computers, them not having cell phones, 770 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: which I think would be a lot different to make. 771 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: That movie now. 772 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: And obviously they have to update some of those things 773 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: a little bit by making Glenn Powell's character a social 774 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: media star. I just hope that doesn't come across as 775 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: being like, oh, now we're in twenty twenty four, or 776 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: we have to do all these things that the young 777 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: people are doing now. I get that that probably makes sense, 778 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: but that is what makes the original one feel timeless 779 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: to me. 780 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 2: So you have all these great visuals. 781 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: And then a kind of more low definition go pro 782 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: shot that a little bit takes me out of it. 783 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: But hopefully the reason they have it in there is 784 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: to give it kind of a gritty feeling to make 785 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: you feel like you are right there with them. Hopefully 786 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: that'll come across on the big screen as well. I 787 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: just don't love that shot right now. I think the 788 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: thing I'm looking forward to the most is finding out 789 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: how much chemistry Daisy Edgar Jones and Glenn Powell have together, 790 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: which is really what made the original work so well. 791 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton together, that sexual tension they had, 792 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: and just all of their chemistry throughout the chase scenes 793 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: and the will they won't they and the comedic timing 794 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: of both of them, that is what makes that movie 795 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: so great, paired with a really great ensemble cast. So 796 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: hopefully all of these new actors have that same kind 797 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: of mesh that the original cast had, because aside from 798 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: the chemistry of Bill Paxton Helen Hunt, what made it 799 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: great was how much they bonded as a team and 800 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: how well defined all the characters were, the funny names 801 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: that all of them had, and you really got a 802 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: sense of not only did they have chemistry on screen, 803 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: but there were a lot of things going on behind 804 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: the scenes that they all got along together. And I 805 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: think when people are having fun while making a movie, 806 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: it really makes the entire thing show on screen, and 807 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 1: I want to kind of know that these actors bonded 808 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: a little bit, that they really form this team, and 809 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: that will make me more invested in their characters. Once 810 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: this movie is all said and done, and it's really 811 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: going to be the defining factor of is this going 812 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: to be a movie that comes out in twenty twenty 813 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: four and we forget about in a year, or is 814 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: this going to be a new staple, a new real 815 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: chapter in this story and solidify itself history. 816 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 2: That is what I wanted to be. 817 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: Those are the standards I have because the original one 818 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: has done that. It has stood the test of time 819 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: so much that thirty years later, they are making another 820 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: installment because the demand is there, And I think that 821 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: is the true test of is a movie worthy of that? 822 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: Are we gonna care about this movie after we leave 823 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: the theater or are we just getting baited into seeing 824 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: Glenn Powell in a tight white T shirt and a 825 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: cowboy hat. I mean, it looks great in it, but 826 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 1: I need a little bit more than that. So again, 827 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: the movie is coming out in theaters this summer. On 828 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: July nineteenth. We got a new chapter and we got Cows. 829 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 3: And that was this week's edition of Movie. 830 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: Line Framer Bar and that is going to do it 831 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, 832 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 1: I gotta give my listeners shout out of the week 833 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: This week, I'm going over to my Instagram dms and 834 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: the listener shout out of the week is the Patty 835 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: Foss who Patty sent me a question and said, as 836 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: much as I'd like to listen to all the podcasts, 837 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: I cannot. So my question is, is there a way 838 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: to search your reviews for a certain movie. I was 839 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: considering a movie today, which is rare, so I wanted 840 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: to know what your thoughts were on the movie. So, Patty, 841 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,760 Speaker 1: thank you for that message. I think it's a question 842 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people have. I would obviously encourage you 843 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: to listen to all the episodes, be subscribed, download every 844 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: single episode, but if. 845 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 2: You can't do that, there are a couple of ways 846 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 2: you could do this. 847 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: You could just google movie Mike's Movie podcasts and the 848 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: movie you were looking for that should bring up that 849 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: episode that I did the review on. So just look 850 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: in the title movie review and the title of the 851 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: movie you are looking for should be in the episode there. 852 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. I do have a 853 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: YouTube channel, so I have an entire library on there, 854 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: probably the last year and a half to two years 855 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: of just the movie reviews, so you can watch them there. 856 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: So also be sure to subscribe to that channel while 857 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 1: you were there.
