11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies.

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking Audi MTV

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: which glasses from the Nashville Podcast. Not more cases, Movie

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Mic Movie. We made it to the finale of Horror

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Movie Month. Thanks to everybody for indulging me this month

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: because I know not everybody loves horror movies as much

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: as I do, so today I wanted to talk about

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: the most family friendly Halloween movies that you can watch today,

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: because I know that sometimes you don't really want to

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: sit down and watch something where you're completely scared. So

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I think this is where we can all agree on

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: that these are just traditionally fun, family friendly movies, and

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I'll share where you can watch all of these, what

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: some of these movies mean to me, my personal favorites,

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and you can take your pick depending on what streaming

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: service you have. But before we get into this list,

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I didn't want to share with you some of my

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: favorite Halloween traditions as a kid, I love trick or treating.

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I grew up in a trailer park, though, so none

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: of the trailers would hand out Halloween candy. And also

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: we didn't all have enough money really to spend buying

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: candy to hand out. So my family and some other

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: families in the trailer park are all about getting free things,

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: so we would always go to the nicest neighborhoods. And

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: it combined a lot of my favorite things candy, which

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I like a lot of people love chocolate. That is

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: my number one go to when it comes to Halloween candy.

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: It combined my love of horror and horror movies because

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I love seeing other people's costumes. Who will had money

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: to actually spend on the costume, and my favorites were

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: always the most traditional iconic Halloween characters like Freddy Krueger,

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Jason Michael Myers, anybody who could afford those masks I

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: was always envious of. And three, it combined my love

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of seeing other people's houses and as a kid, one

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: of my biggest dreams was always to live in a

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: brick house, and I would see other kids with that

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: and make me jealous of them. And just that moment

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: where they opened their door and you can see into

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: an entirely different life of somebody watching a big screen

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: like above getting the candy. It's not that I was

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: scoping out their houses to rob them later, but I

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: just enjoyed seeing other people and like, man, it's not

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: just on TV where will have nice houses. So that

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: is what I enjoyed doing on Halloween. The only time

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I ever dressed up and got her legit costume was

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: in kindergarten. My parents got me a woody costume from

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Toy Story and I love that thing, and as much

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: as I begged them to get me other costumes later

62
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: in grade school, could never just swing it. The only

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: other costume my head was movie related. I did get

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: the ghost face mask from Scream in fifth grade because

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: I found it in the discount aisle at a grocery store.

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't have the full long ghost face costume,

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: but I did have the mask and I thought that

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, so I just wore that with all

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: black clothing and I would ghost face. Aside from that,

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: my favorite Halloween traditions is hands down watching scary movies.

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: And for some reason, my parents didn't really have any

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: restrictions on me when it came to horror movies. They

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me watch anything that was too adult when

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: it came to Jose dramas in comedy is, but when

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: it came to horror movies, they were totally cool with it.

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: So I was ten eleven years old watching all the

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Halloween movies on AMC would always run this marathon of

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: showing every single Halloween movie, and I remember I would

79
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: watch them from when the sun went down until as

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: late as I could stay up on Halloween watching these movies,

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: and this was like the first series of movies that

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I remember giving me nightmares. I remember watching all of

83
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: them and then greatly regretting it as I went to

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: sleep and woke up in a pit of sweat because

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I was dreaming that Michael Myers was coming for me.

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: But I love that tradition of watching Halloween movies on AMC.

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: And my other favorite tradition was watching them with my

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: family because we would go and trick or treat and

89
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: then come back later that night and throw all of

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: our candy on the floor, sort through it, count all

91
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: the good candy. We had, sometimes make some trades with

92
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: my brother and my sister, and then in the background

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: we would always have Halloween movies playing. And for some reason,

94
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: even though I would watch the more adult horror movies

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: as a kid, I think the ones that stuck with

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: me the most the ones that we kind of watched

97
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: together as a family the most. We're mostly family friendly

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Halloween movies, and I think it also has to do

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: with the movies I was exposed to in school and

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: leading up to Halloween. We would always watch movies in school,

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: and of course they always had to be rated G

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: or PG, So I think that's why in this list,

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: I have a lot of these movies that are just

104
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: associated with my childhood because they were safe enough for

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: us to watch at school, and there were also just

106
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: ways to watch things with my family that we all enjoyed.

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: So let's get into this list what I think are

108
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: the best family friendly movies that you can watch on

109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Halloween and where to stream them. Starting first with probably

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: one of the oldest movies on my list from night

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: is Beetlejuice, which is rated PG in eight. P G

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: was a little bit different as far as what we

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: would rate something now. I think if you put Beetle

114
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Juice out now in two it would probably be PG thirteen,

115
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: just because there's some swearing in this movie that you

116
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: kind of forget about. There's an F bomb, there's some

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: mild sexuality stuff in this movie, and it has some

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: pretty legit scares that I think if you were a child,

119
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: maybe not be the best for younger kids. But I

120
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: think overall, compared to the other things that come along

121
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: with Halloween movies, Beetlejuice is a classic. It's a horror

122
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: slash comedy, but I think nowadays, compared to some of

123
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: the movies that come out now geared towards kids, it's

124
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: really not that bad. It has that blend of horror

125
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: like elements mixed with comedy, and you have an iconic

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: performance from Michael Keaton. So I would still say that

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: this movie is pretty family friendly. And this was the

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: first time as a kid that I was exposed to

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Tim Burton, and I greatly enjoyed his style in the

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties before he got a little bit too weird.

131
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: But if you don't want to start there, how about

132
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: we moved to nine in a movie that is rated PG,

133
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: and you can watch it now on to Be with

134
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Ads or you can watch it on Peacock, depending on

135
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: which one you have. And it is Casper from which

136
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: is a family comedy, a little bit of fantasy, but

137
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Halloween movies. The movie stars Christina

138
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: Ricci and it's about her moving into a new house

139
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: with her dad. It's this giant mansion that is said

140
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: to have all these wicked spirits living in it, but

141
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: it turns out it's Casper, the friendly ghost. I very

142
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: much love how nineties this movie feels with Christina Ricci,

143
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Bill Pullman, you have the live version of Casper played

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: by Devin Sawah. You have Brad Garrett as one of

145
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the voices of the ghost, and you even have a

146
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: dan ackroid can meal in this who is in Ghostbusters.

147
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: So this is a very fun, family friendly movie, and

148
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: the movie is rated PG, but I still think they

149
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: let a few minor curse words slip into this movie,

150
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: which was a lot more acceptable even in the nineties.

151
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: And I think it was also more acceptable in the

152
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: nineties to work in some innuendo jokes. So it's no

153
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: wonder we turned out the way we did watching all

154
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: these movies growing up. And there's very minor cartoon violence

155
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: in this movie. I think my favorite scene out of

156
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: this is whenever they make Casper make them breakfast and

157
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: they're all eating around this big, long table, and I

158
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: just remember how delicious all that food look, from the

159
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: donuts to the pancakes and the eggs you made and

160
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: then eating everything and you're just seeing it fall completely

161
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: out of them. That is one of my favorite visuals

162
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: out of this movie. But there's a lot of great

163
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: voice acting with all the ghosts, and it always made

164
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: me want to live in a haunted mansion as a kid.

165
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: And I also loved at this movie was set in Maine,

166
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: and it kind of romanticized my thoughts of the Northeast

167
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: in as a kid and growing up in Texas, we

168
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't experience seasons like this, so I love the cinematography

169
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: capturing all of like the leaves changing and all of

170
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the landscape of Maine. And I've still never been there,

171
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: so it also makes me want to go experience that

172
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: around this time of year. So this one is definitely

173
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: one of my favorites from is Casper. Moving on to

174
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: the animated side, and again we have Tim Burton here,

175
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: who I feel does a lot of family friendly horror comedies.

176
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't really love all of his live action movies

177
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: aside from his work with Batman and Beatle Jews. I'm

178
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: more leaned towards his animated movies, and I think my

179
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: favorite out of all of his animated movies was frank

180
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: and Weeney from twelve. It's an animated horror comedy. You

181
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: can watch it on Disney Plus, and it's about this

182
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: boy who his dog passes away suddenly and he attempts

183
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: to bring his dog back through this powerful science experiment.

184
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like Frankenstein. He's a dog. You

185
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: get the name frank and Weeny, so you have this

186
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: young kid named Victor Frankenstein. He's kind of an outsider

187
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: at his school except for his dog, Sparky, and he

188
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: is heartbroken when Sparky passes away. And then from the

189
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: help of his science teacher, he gets this idea on

190
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: how to bring Sparky back to life. It goes well,

191
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: and then he goes around resurrecting some of his other

192
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: classmates dead animals. But then you find out there are

193
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: some consequences from this. And I love the claymation animation

194
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: style in this movie. I love the black and white.

195
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: It gives it a very classic feel. And there's just

196
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: so much work that goes into creating a stop motion

197
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: movie like this. You have to animate every single movement.

198
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: You have to take a picture, move the character a

199
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: little bit, take another picture of move it just a

200
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit more. So. I just imagine how much work

201
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: goes into making a movie like this, but it provides

202
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: an utterly beautiful result in Frank and Weeney. So it's

203
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: a great mix of beautiful animation style, a little bit

204
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: of comedy with some horror like elements. But I think

205
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: a movie that anybody can enjoy. So I'm going with

206
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: Frank and Weeney. Checked that one out on Disney Plus.

207
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Next up on my list, I have a movie that

208
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: at the time I loved that came out in two

209
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: thousand and two. It's rated PG. It is a mystery

210
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: on Netflix called Scooby Doo. And when this movie came out,

211
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to it to be anything great. I was,

212
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: of course, eleven years old. I wasn't even the biggest

213
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: Scooby Doo fan. But I think this is a movie.

214
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: Looking back on it now, it's a lot more clever

215
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: than it gets credit for. And this movie has a

216
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: really great cast. Matthew Lillard as Shaggy is the ultimate

217
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: casting is Shaggy. You also have Freddie Prince Jr. Sarah

218
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Michelle Geller, Linda hard of leaning in. The movie is

219
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: about the Scooby Doo gang. After they all break up,

220
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: they are individually brought to this island resort to investigate

221
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: the strange things that are going on. And as a kid,

222
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this how significant this would be later

223
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: in life. But James Gunn is the one who created

224
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: this story for Scooby Doo. He went on to make

225
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: movies like The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy. He

226
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: just landed a really big role over on the DC world,

227
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see how his vision carries over

228
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: to restoring what is happening at d C. But I

229
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: think this is a movie. Now looking back on it,

230
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate somebody making a movie like this for kids

231
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: with that much thought into it, even though yes, some

232
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: of the visual gags are dumb. The c g I

233
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: is still very early two thousands, so it's not quite

234
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: the best, but the writing is there, the story is there,

235
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: and I still think it provides some pretty good entertainment

236
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: on Halloween. That movie is rated PG, which it was

237
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: falsely said to be rated ARE at one point, and

238
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that's because later on YouTube some deleted scenes

239
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: got posted that were maybe more of an adult theme,

240
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: So there was this whole theory going around that this

241
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: movie was initially going to be a more adult telling

242
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: of the Scooby Doo story that actually wasn't true. But

243
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: I do like when movies are made like this and

244
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: they don't really dump things down to kids, and I

245
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: didn't realize that at the time, but now looking back

246
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: on it, I have a bigger appreciation for Scooby Doo

247
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: from two thousand and two. Next up on my list

248
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: is another movie on Netflix. It came out in It

249
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: is rated PG thirteen, It stars Adam Sandler, and it

250
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: is called hub Halloween. I'm not going to feel the

251
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: need to defend my pick for this movie, and I

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: know now historically that Adam Sandler comedies are generally not

253
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: that well received. I've recently been looking back on and

254
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: how bizarre that year was of all the ups and downs,

255
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: and one of the major highlights throughout that year was

256
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: anytime we got a new movie to stream at home

257
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: because theaters were shut down. So there aren't that many

258
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: new movies that came out in the ones that did,

259
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: even though they weren't the best movie, and if they

260
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: came out now, I wouldn't really think that much about them.

261
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: But there are individual movies that I just associate with

262
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: different parts of that year and things they helped me with,

263
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and Huby Halloween did that for me in October of

264
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: But the movie stars Adam Sandler. He plays a character

265
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: named Hubi, and he is known as the Halloween Helper

266
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: in this town, even though it's something that everybody kind

267
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: of makes fun of him for, but he does it anyway.

268
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: He's not really aware of what is going on with

269
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: all the people around him, making him a mockery from

270
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: kids and adults, but then he realizes that there is

271
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: actually something scary happening one Halloween night and it's up

272
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: to him to save the day, even though nobody believes him.

273
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: You have all of the classic Adam Sandler cast of

274
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: friends in this movie, like Kevin James, Julie Bowen, who

275
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: it felt like a reunion from Happy Gilmore, and you

276
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: also have Keenan Thompson and more so, basically anybody who's

277
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: ever been in an Adam Sandler movie is in this

278
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: one as well. The movie is rated PG thirteen, so

279
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a movie that adults will love,

280
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: but if you have younger kids and want to expose

281
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: them to Adam Sandler, I think they would find some

282
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: enjoyment in this movie because the comedy is very low brow.

283
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: But at the time that is what I needed. I

284
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: just needed something to distract me. I needed something with

285
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes, and this movie at least delivered with that criteria.

286
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: So so watch it on Netflix if that sounds fun

287
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: to you. The movie is called Hubie Halloween. But my

288
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: final suggestion and I think it is the best family

289
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: friendly Halloween movie ever made. It is from nine, it's

290
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: rated PG, and you can watch it Disney. Plus it

291
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: is hocus Pocus. And going back to my favorite Halloween traditions,

292
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: this is one that it was not a school year

293
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: unless we watched hocus Pocus every year in elementary school.

294
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: When we had our Halloween party in class, we would

295
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: always watch hocus Pocus. So I know this movie from

296
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: beginning to end. I can recite this movie probably without

297
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: watching it. It really has all of the best elements

298
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: to a Halloween movie takes place on Halloween. I love

299
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: movies that take place entirely in one day. You have

300
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: the Sanderson sisters, who are the spirits of these three

301
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: seventeenth centuries Salem witches and then accidentally resurrected by this

302
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: group of kids, and then they come back to terrorize

303
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: the town and steal the souls of children. Which I

304
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: guess that's a little darker for a Disney movie now

305
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: than you may expect, But somehow the movie is still wholesome.

306
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: So I think, out of this entire list, if you

307
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: only had to watch one, it has to be hocus

308
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: Pocus if you haven't watched it this Halloween season yet.

309
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: And then You also now have the sequel on Disney

310
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: Plus Hocus Pocus, to which I'll get to in the

311
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: movie review and how those movies compare. But I have

312
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: some honorable mentions here that you can watch on different

313
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: streaming services if you have Disney Plus. There is The

314
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Nightmare Before Christmas, which is another will is that a

315
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: Halloween movie? Is it a Christmas movie? So I didn't

316
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: put that in my normal list. You also have some

317
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: Disney Channel movies, Halloween Town from nine or Twitches from

318
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. On HBO Max. There are a

319
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: couple that aren't really Halloween movies, but hey, you could

320
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: get away with watching these on Halloween. You have The Goonies,

321
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: which is just the classic eighties movie but some minor

322
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: scary elements if you have very very young kids, but

323
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: a family friendly adventure movie that I don't think anybody

324
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: would question if you decided to watch that one on Halloween.

325
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: On HBO Max, you also have Gremlins, which is really

326
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: more of a Christmas movie. There's no mention of Halloween

327
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: and Gremlins, but the characters and the creatures and Gremlins

328
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: are very much horror ResQue, so that's another one you

329
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: could watch on Hulu. You have The Sixth Sense, which

330
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: is a little borderline, but it is rated PG thirteen,

331
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: So if you're wanting to go scary without going too scary,

332
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: you could watch that on Hulu. But also on Hulu

333
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: you have Ghostbusters, the original one from four that one.

334
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: Especially if your kid has seen the Ghostbusters costume at

335
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: Target or Walmart but has never seen that movie, sit

336
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: them down and make them watch Ghostbusters. If you have

337
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: the Roku app, you can watch Cora Line on Netflix.

338
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: There's also a Labyrinth which kind of fits into the

339
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: Halloween theme, and if you have Pluto, you can watch

340
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: the Adams Family movie from n So Happy Halloween, everybody,

341
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: come back and talk about hocus Pocus too. Let's get

342
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: into our movie review this week now. I want to

343
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: talk about hocus Pocus two, which has been out on

344
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Disney Plus for a aisle now, but I wanted to

345
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: save it for this week to go along with the

346
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: theme of the episode. And I didn't really have the

347
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: highest expectations for Hocus Focus too, even though I'm such

348
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: a big fan of the original, I was really only

349
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: going into this with the expectation of having some nostalgia.

350
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to see all the three sisters back in

351
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: this movie, and that was really it. I just can't

352
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: put my heart into wanting Disney to do something great

353
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to making a sequel to such a

354
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: beloved classic, but I was happy that it was a

355
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: sequel instead of a remake. So I'll get into my

356
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: full review and thoughts on this movie, but before we

357
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: do that, here's just a smidge of the trailer. I

358
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: have a gift from my favorite customers. Legend has it

359
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: it's on the sixteenth birthday that a witch gets her powers. Yes,

360
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: so what this movie is about. It's these three young

361
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: girls who accidentally bring back the Sanderson sisters in modern day.

362
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: The movie is set in two and now, just like

363
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: they did in the original, they have to figure out

364
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: how to stop these child hungry witches from taking over

365
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: their town of Salem, and the original cast is back.

366
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: As far as the three original Sanderson sisters, you have

367
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: Bette Midler, Sarah, Jessica Parker, Catherine and Jemie all back

368
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: in this movie. And I was pleasantly surprised that the

369
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: movie didn't do just all the same old gags as

370
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: the original movie, which is what I thought was going

371
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to happen from that trailer. When I first saw that trailer,

372
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking, they're just going to pretty much reenact

373
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: everything that we love from the original one, and it'll

374
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: be fine at that. So what I was pleasantly surprised

375
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: was there was some actual advancement in the story. It

376
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: starts out giving the origin story of the three Sanders

377
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: and sisters, which I probably found that opening sequence the

378
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: most entertaining out of the entire movie, which as a whole,

379
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: I found this movie to be pretty entertaining, and I

380
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: had the low expectations, but I did really like that

381
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: opening sequence of seeing where the young girls came from

382
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: and their story. I almost think that could be its

383
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: own independent series on Disney Plus. Maybe if they don't

384
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: make a hocus Pocus three, but if they stick with

385
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: that original story of how they got their powers and

386
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: their adventures as young teenage, which is I think there's

387
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: a story there, So Disney Plus, if you need that

388
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: script written, I'll get on that right now. And then

389
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: it goes fast forward into two and you have some

390
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: whole new cast of characters here, and they actually tried

391
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: some advancements in the story. It focuses on this group

392
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: of three friends and their struggles of friendship and how

393
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: they would all go out and have this which day

394
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: out in the woods. But look back at what made

395
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: the original one work is the pacing in that movie

396
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: is so great that right like right after another, one

397
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: right after another. There's just things happening all the way

398
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: throughout that movie, And at any point in the original

399
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: there's never really a lull. There's always something happening that's

400
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: moving the story along and keeping it going. And in

401
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: hocus Pocus too, it almost has too much time to

402
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: breathe and go out and try to flesh out these

403
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: characters when I just needed a little bit more action.

404
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: That's all this movie really needed to do to make

405
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: it better, because once it gets to the actual adventure part,

406
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: it's like thirty minutes into the movie, that's really when

407
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: it starts to become more entertaining. And the other thing

408
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: that I was kind of surprised about is this movie

409
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: costs forty million dollars to make, which is below average

410
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: for a normal Hollywood production. About average would be sixty

411
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: five million dollars for just a normal movie like this.

412
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: A superhero movie would run on the complete other spectrum

413
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: of thing about two million dollars to make, so they

414
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: didn't make this movie on the lower side, probably because

415
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: it is a Disney Plus movie. They didn't have any

416
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: expectations to put it out in theaters. But it looked

417
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: like it was made for about forty million dollars and

418
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: it was just interesting to see how I just watched

419
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: the nineteen original before watching this one, and the special

420
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: effects didn't get that much better. As far as when

421
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: they are flying in this one, it's still very evident

422
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: that they are sitting on brooms in front of a

423
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: green screen, and it doesn't look that much better than

424
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: the original one from nineteen. The only thing that didn't

425
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: prove is the special effects when it comes to them

426
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: using their powers and you know, throwing people around and

427
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: those kind of battles. Aside from that, I don't think

428
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: they made a whole lot of advancement in the special effects,

429
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: So that was a little bit of a bummer. It

430
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: was just look kind of weird to see that. And

431
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't that they paid the actresses a whole lot

432
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: of money to return. Bett Middler made three million dollars

433
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: to come back and do this movie. Kathy and the

434
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: Jimie who plays Mary, reportedly took a salary of eight

435
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, and Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Sarah in

436
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: the movie, reportedly made seven hundred thousand as well. So

437
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was a bit surprising that. I think,

438
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting them back for the original movie, they

439
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: would have paid them a little bit more. The other

440
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: thing that just kind of bothered me, again, it was

441
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: very minor things, but that's what I do interviews, is

442
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: that the movie takes place twenty nine years after the

443
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: original I just feel like they should have waited until

444
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: next year to put this movie out because they are

445
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: referencing two in this movie. Original one came out in

446
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: ninety three. It just feels like it would have been

447
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more significant to have been thirty years

448
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: after the original one instead of twenty nine. That's just

449
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: the weird numbers thing that bothers me. So I won't

450
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: really hold that again to the film overall, but every

451
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: time that came up in the movie, I was like,

452
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: why is it twenty nine and not thirty? They should

453
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: have just said it in regardless, And I'll be a

454
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: critical fanboy here for a second. Again, I try not

455
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: to over emphasize wanting a cameo because sometimes it's seen

456
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: as cheesy. But I feel like a movie like this,

457
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: where they didn't spend an entirely large amount getting back

458
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: the original cast, I would have loved a cameo from

459
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: the original cast, whether it had been Max or Danny

460
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: or Allison, like those three characters from the original movie,

461
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: or even Jason Marsden as Binks. None of those people

462
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: came back in this movie. Disney has no loyalty. The

463
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: actor who plays Max said he would have loved to

464
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: have been a part of it, he wasn't asked to

465
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: do it. His younger sister, Danny was reportedly attached to

466
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: the movie at one point, but wasn't in this movie,

467
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: and the actor who played Allison also said she would

468
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: have loved to have been a part of this movie.

469
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll do this thing that's probably annoying, but if I

470
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: were making this movie, I would have just had a

471
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: loose little tie in. You have the three teenage girls

472
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: who are the main characters in this movie. Be all

473
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: they could have done was made their parents in the movie,

474
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: Max and Allison like they got married, had a kid.

475
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: The timing could have worked out for them to have

476
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: a teenager. Their aunt would have been Danny, so there

477
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: would have been this connection to that original family. Like

478
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: in my head, in a perfect scenario, they are the

479
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: ones who teach them how to defeat the Sanderson sisters.

480
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: But really all they had to do was be their

481
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: parents in the movie, and it would have kind of

482
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: satisfied the fans of the original movie without giving a

483
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of without just making it feel like a reboot.

484
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: I think it just needed that element to it. The

485
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: only other cast member I saw who came back in

486
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: this movie was the person who played the good zombie

487
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Billy Butcherson. Just funny that the one who is the

488
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: less recognizable one because he's in full makeup and costume

489
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: is the one who actually comes back in this But

490
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: again I realized this movie wasn't made for me. I

491
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: think younger kids and tweens will enjoy this movie much

492
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: like I did when I saw the first hocus Pocus

493
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: back in the nineties. I think they geared towards that

494
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: it's anyway by adding more musical numbers, so it felt

495
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: even more like a musical than the original one did,

496
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: and I think still overall, I found it entertaining, So

497
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I would give hocus Pocus to two point five out

498
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: of five spells. It's time to head down to movie Mike,

499
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Laura Paul. If you know me, you know I love

500
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: a Marvel movie, especially one to kick off a new year.

501
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: And coming out on February is Marvel Studios ant Man

502
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: in the Wasp Quantum Mania. And this is the third

503
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: in the Marvel ant Man trilogy. And I think this

504
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: could be the most sophisticated ant Man movie yet, at

505
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: least just by the looks of this trailer. It looks

506
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: a lot different as far as the comedic elements in

507
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: this one. Even just what the ant Man suit looks like.

508
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: It feels like ant Man maybe getting a little bit

509
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: more distinguished. So we'll talk about where the ant Man

510
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: character has been throughout all these movies and his role

511
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: in the Avengers. But before we get into this new trailer,

512
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of ant Man in the

513
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: Wasp Quantum Mania. People still need help that That's why

514
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: we made this. It's like a satellite for deep Spacelift Quanta.

515
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Wait wait a minute, you're sending a signal down to

516
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: the quantum realm. Turn it off now, I can get

517
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: shoot hope if you've helped me, So what's it going

518
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: to be? So in this movie we find Scott Lang

519
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: played by the one and only Paul Rudd, and you

520
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: have his daughter in this movie, now played by Catherine Newton.

521
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: You also have Evangeline Lily back in this movie with

522
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: her parents. So it feels very much like where we

523
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: and did with ant Man and the Wasp. And in

524
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: this movie they all go on this new adventure exploring

525
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: the quantum realm and going against King the Conqueror, who

526
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: we first saw in Loki the series on Disney Plus

527
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: and is now going to be the new villain as

528
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: we entered the new phase of Marvel. And you also

529
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: have Bill Murray thrown into this movie as well. So

530
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: the cast looks pretty solid here. And some things I

531
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: noticed in ant Man in the Wasp, which I think

532
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: it may be on the bottom of most people's list

533
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: as far as more on the end of the worst

534
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Marvel movies ever made. And I think that's greatly due

535
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: to the character himself as ant Man. And I rewatched

536
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: these movies recently as I'm rewatching all of the Marvel movies.

537
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: I watched both aunt Man Won and aunt Man too,

538
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: And I think the reason there's so much hate around

539
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: these is it kind of has that cheesy superhero comedy writing,

540
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: more so in the second one in the first one.

541
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: I think the first one is actually pretty olid, and

542
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: the writing team in that one, I think they actually

543
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: did a really good job. I think there's just something

544
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: that people don't like whenever they cut away from the

545
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: action sequences and whenever you look at a little bit

546
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: further the joke of like, it's just these two very

547
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: and like people fighting each other like a toy train set.

548
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a little bit like, oh, come on,

549
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. But then later an Antman and the Wasp.

550
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: I do think the writing suffered there a little bit,

551
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: But I think overall the ant Man character has some heart.

552
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: He is a character who is coming from somebody just

553
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: trying to get his life back on track. Scott Lang

554
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: is a next convict and it's really just trying to

555
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: save the world but also just maintain his relationship with

556
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: his daughter. And I think that's why you would care

557
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: about Scott Lang. But in this trailer, it has what

558
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: appears to be an entirely different vibe to it. It

559
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: looks less comedy and more sci fi, more dramatic. There

560
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: are some scenes in this that I was surprised used

561
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: to see. It almost looked like a Star Wars movie

562
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: in some parts. Even the new aunt Man suit is

563
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: a lot more striking, and it even seems like it's

564
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: less focused on the power's traditional powers of him shrinking down.

565
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even really see that in this movie. I

566
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: think it's taking all these characters, putting them into the

567
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: quantum realm for some interesting things to happen. And also

568
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: just looking at the c g I in this trailer,

569
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: which Marvel has been criticized fairly recently, and just the

570
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: last year of them working their VFX artists pretty harshly

571
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: and the results being some gaps in their c g

572
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: I and things not looking completely right, things looking like

573
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: they rushed all these projects. But the world they create

574
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: of this quantum mania looks pretty good in this trailer.

575
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: It looks pretty solid. So with the less comedic approach

576
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: at least the feeling in this trailer and the heightened,

577
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: more fine tuned special effects a little bit more dramatic here,

578
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: I think this movie has some potential to be the

579
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: best in the relogy I still really enjoy the first

580
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: ant Man, fell off pretty hard there in the second one,

581
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: but I have some hopes for this one, especially the

582
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: more we get to see from Kang, who It's gonna

583
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: be really hard to get a villain on the level

584
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: of Thanos again, and I'm not going to set my

585
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: expectations that high. I don't think we'll ever have as

586
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: amazing of a villain that we had in the Infinity saga.

587
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: But Kang looks pretty interesting in this movie, and I'm

588
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: excited to get to know more about that character. So

589
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: so we get Waconda Forever pretty soon on November eleven,

590
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: and then to kick off, we get the New ant

591
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: Man coming out on February. So definitely some good news

592
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Marvel fan. This leaks edition of Movie

593
