1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie Podcast. I

00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike Today. It is gonna be.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: A lot of talk about sequels.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: I want to rank the top ten sequels coming out

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. The Goonies is getting a sequel.

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you what I love and don't love about

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: sequels and the state of cinema.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: We'll get into all that in.

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: The movie review. I'll give my spoiler free review of

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: The Monkey, which is the new horror movie from Oz

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Perkins who did Long Legs last year.

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: Was it as good as a trailer led on?

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: And then in the trailer park we'll be talking about

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Friendship and why I think it could be the funniest movie.

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: Of the year.

16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed.

17
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew.

18
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: And now let's talk movies from the Nashville Podcast Network.

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: This is Movie Mike Movie Podcast. What's Socking Sequels Today?

20
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Goonies two is officially a go. Steven Spielberg is on board.

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: It was inevitable that this movie was going to happen,

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: and now that it's officially announced, it's in the very

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: early stages of there's not even a director attached to it.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: They're writing it, so it is that earliest stages, which

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: I don't love when movies are announced this soon because

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: then it takes so long, and I think we live

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: in a world now where we kind of live in

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: these movies for way too long that by the time

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: they come out, it's like, oh man, this feels not

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: even new to me anymore. But with a movie this historic,

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: this bestowed upon just being not only a fan favorite,

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: but if you ask somebody who grew up in the eighties,

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: it could easily be their favorite movie. But none of

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: the original cast as of now, as the recording of

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: this podcast and the history of me talking about this

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: movie in particular, whenever I talk about it, something always

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: gets announced after I record it. But at the time

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: of recording this, nobody from the original og Gouni's cast

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: is going to be a part of it. Corey Felman

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Kihui Kwan have expressed interest and wanting to do a sequel,

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: And then you think about just how amazing this cast is,

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: with not just them too, but Josh Brolin, who has

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: had a wild career since the Goonies, Martha Plimpton Sean Ashton,

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Cohen, Carrie Green. Nobody as of right now is

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: going to be a part of it. And the last

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: episode I did talking about the Goonies was during my

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: episode when I wanted to talk about eighties movies that

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: needed sequels, and I include Goonies on that list. And

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I still believe that this sequel can work, but I

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: do have a couple of hesitations about it. If these

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: people aren't a part of this sequel, I'm not gonna

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: like it. And that is kind of how I'm feeling

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: right now, and that's why I wasn't that excited once

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: it finally got announced, because I was hoping the announcement

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: was going to come. We're making Goonies to all the

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: original cast.

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 2: Is back, or at least most of them.

58
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: Really hard to get all the original cast, but I

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: think getting most of them, especially the bigger names now

60
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: who have gone on to have really big careers, I

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: think it's important to get those people back, and that

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: is a reason to make a sequel. We didn't get that.

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: That leads me to believe that it's not going to happen.

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Because now over a decade they've been in serious discussions

65
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: about this it getting announced and nobody is a part

66
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: of it from the original. That is a bad sign.

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: The other thing, when it comes to sequels, I feel

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: like people are getting sick of them, and the state

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: of we feel like everything is a reboot and a remake,

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: and I feel like this doesn't really help because if

71
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: you take a movie that is so beloved by so

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: many people and you don't bring back any of the

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: original cast, it is really gonna leave a bad taste

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's mouths. And this is a

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: type of movie that you could ruin the legacy of

76
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: it is that level of film where the history alone,

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the memories that we associate with this movie, with the soundtrack,

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: with the cast, with the time that we first watched

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: this movie, if you don't include any of that into

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: the sequel, it is just it's not going to feel

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: the same. And I hate a cash grab, lifeless sequel.

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: And then when you look at the state of cinema

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: for the highest grossing movies last year in twenty twenty four,

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: I know the highest grossing movies were sequels, And I

85
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: think when it comes down to it, the main thing

86
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of.

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: I will watch a sequel.

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I am a fanboy of some franchisees, and no matter

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: how many movies they make, I'm going to continue to

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: watch them. Where I draw the line is when it

91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: feels like a cash grab, where it feels like they're

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: only praying on the fact that these movies have been

93
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: around for so long and people love them.

94
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: Then, no matter what we do, even if there's.

95
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: No integrity in it, even if we just get a

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: random director and just push along a storyline that adds

97
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: nothing that ruins the movie that came before it. I've

98
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: seen this time and time again. That is why I'm

99
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: always hesitating. So I hope they get a great director

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: to do it. I hope they bring back the original

101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: cast for Goonies, and I hope it doesn't feel like

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: a cash grab.

103
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: But at this.

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Point in time, I don't feel great about it. So

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: with that being said, let's get into me ranking the

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: top ten sequels coming out in twenty twenty five. By

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: ranking them, I mean at number ten is going to

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: be the movie I think it is going to be

109
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: the worst, And at number one is what I think

110
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: is going to be the best sequel of.

111
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five.

112
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: And I'm only gonna do direct sequel, So number twos

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: really anything that the sequel is a two, three, four five.

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: No matter where it lands in the franchise, it is

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: a sequel. But for the sake of this episode, since

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about Goonies two, I just want to talk

117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: about number twos. So at number ten, what I think

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: will be the worst sequel of twenty twenty five. I'm

119
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: gonna go with Freakier Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Lee Curtis, coming out on August eighth. This movie is

121
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: coming to us twenty two years after the original that

122
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand and three. Jamie Lee Curtis

123
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: is coming back, Lindsay Loewen is coming back. This time

124
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan's character now has a daughter and assume to

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: be step daughter. They're about to merge two families together,

126
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: and then they discover that lightning may strike twice and they're.

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Gonna be swapping bodies again.

128
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: So I would assume that's Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Curtis swapping bodies again, and then Lindsay probably swapping bodies

130
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: with her new daughter.

131
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: Freaky Friday was great.

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: It came out at a time where I feel like

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: putting music in a two thousands Disney esque movie.

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: With a rock band.

135
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: I ate up all those movies because I wanted to

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: be that, And Freaky Friday has a very memorable moment

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: whenever Lindsay Lohan is playing guitar on stage with their band,

138
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: but it's actually Jamie Lee Curtis's body inside of her,

139
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: and then you have Jamie Lee Curtis's actual body side

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: stage actually doing the solos. That is one of my

141
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: favorite musical scenes of the two thousands. And as much

142
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: as I enjoyed that movie, when it comes to Freaking

143
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Your Friday, this just feels like it has cash grab

144
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: written all over it. So it does make the top

145
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: ten in it being that it is going to be

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: a movie I definitely got to watch, But since it

147
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: is Disney, it is giving me more of the vibes

148
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: of whenever they made hocus Pocus two, where there was

149
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: no real reason to make a hocus Pocus to aside

150
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: from the fact that the people who loved and grew

151
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: up with that movie are now in their thirties and

152
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: can either pay for a Disney Plus subscription or get

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: their kids to watch it and then be invested in

154
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: the first one, and then Disney has a bigger product

155
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: on their hands. That is what this movie feels like

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: to me. Although I'm all about the Lindsay Lohan comeback,

157
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: I think she has put out some pretty good work

158
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: in the last few years. I think it'll just be

159
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: fun to see her and Jamie Lee Curtis on screen

160
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: together again. But I can only imagine this movie is

161
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: going to be a big step down from the original.

162
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: So at number ten, I have Free Your Friday, and

163
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: number nine I have The Black Phone two, which is

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: a horror movie with Ethan Hawk. It is coming out

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: on October seventeenth. He is coming back as a character

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: described as the Grabber, which is one of my favoritetten

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: masks of the last ten years. It's this pale off,

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: wide discolored mask with these horns, and Ethan Hawk just

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: has a very interesting demeanor and character in The Black Phone,

170
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: and the movie was about his character, the Grabber, who

171
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: would abduct kids and put him in his basement, and

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: it was really weird, not exactly edge of your seat scary,

173
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: but one that you watch and you think, man, what

174
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: if this happened to me? How would I get out

175
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: of this situation? Then it has that supernatural element too,

176
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: with the actual black phone where you can hear the

177
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: voices of the Grabber's previous murder victims. What the sequel

178
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: is going to be about, It's expected to follow one

179
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: of the characters who is now in high school, dealing

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: with the aftermath of the trauma that he experienced with

181
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: his first encounter with the grabber, who is returning in

182
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: this one. But I think there's also going to be

183
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: a new threat and then still having to deal with

184
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: the voices from the Grabbers' previous victims. It is a

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: really unique blend of a coming of age story with

186
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of horror elements, So I think this will

187
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: be one that you don't necessarily have to see in theaters. Again,

188
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: it's coming out on October seventeenth, but if you haven't

189
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: seen the first one, definitely worth the stream And if

190
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: you like that one, check this one out later this

191
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: year at number eight, I have Zootopia two coming out

192
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: on November twenty sixth. Pretty much everybody coming back for

193
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: this one. Jason Bateman, all of the original cast. Zootopia

194
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: was low key one of the best movies of the

195
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: twenty tens from Disney. And maybe this is just me

196
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: looking back on the twenty tens now thinking things were great,

197
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: when at the time I was still like, oh man,

198
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: Disney still hasn't been good since the nineties, So maybe

199
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: it's because there's been some time in between now, But

200
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: at that time, Disney had kind of gotten away. I

201
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: feel from having movies that really had a message. Came

202
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: just a factory of trying to create these franchises, and

203
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Zootopia was one that left a lasting mark of my brain,

204
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: even the fact that I was already twenty five years

205
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: old when this.

206
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: Movie came out.

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: And any Disney movie that can really spark a conversation

208
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: that can make a big statement about the world, but

209
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: not only that make a really fun and clever movie.

210
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: It is hard to blend a movie that has a

211
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: message but it's also just entertaining for the entire family. Zootopia,

212
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: I feel, is the best example of that when it

213
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: comes to just a straight on Disney movie, not a

214
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: Disney Pixar movie, just a straight on Disney movie, which

215
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: is what this is.

216
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: Disney movies were.

217
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: Always rooted in their early days in fairy tales. In

218
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: this one not really a fairy tale, but it has

219
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: some of those characteristics just because it's the animal dynamic

220
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: inside of the Animal Kingdom has a fantastic voice cast

221
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: at number eight. Zootopia too at number seven. I'm going

222
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: with The Accountant to starring Ben Affleck. This is coming

223
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: out on April twenty fifth. Ben Affleck plays an autistic

224
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: accountant was also a killing machine named Christian Wolf. John

225
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: Bernthal is also rejoining the cast and JK.

226
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: Simmons.

227
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: I love the First Accountant movie, which had Anna Kendrick

228
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: actually not coming back in this one, and this movie

229
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: left a lasting impression on me. If you look at

230
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: the reviews for the First Accountant, it got pretty bad reviews,

231
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I think it is a

232
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: great action movie. This is the type of action movie

233
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I love. Well, maybe the acting isn't top tier like

234
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: The Departed, it has enough grit for me that I

235
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I also enjoy seeing Ben Affleck play a

236
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: character like this who is just a unique person because

237
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: you see him go from being an accountant, being really

238
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: great with numbers, being really smart, to then being an

239
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: all out killing machine. It's just that juxtaposition that makes

240
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: this movie so interesting. Now after watching the trailer to this,

241
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: it does have a bit of a different vibe from

242
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: the first Accounted movie. I don't know if it's because

243
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: Matt Damon isn't a producer on this one anymore, not

244
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: that it feels worse than the first one. I just

245
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: think that it caught you a little bit more off

246
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: guard in the Accountant when he would go and live

247
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: his other life that people didn't know about. This one

248
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: seems to be he is more established and you kind

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: of know what is coming, and it almost feels like

250
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: in the trailer that Ben Affleck is playing the character

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: a little bit differently and a little bit more dialed

252
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: into some of the characteristics to make that jump seem

253
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more drastic. But this movie is coming

254
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: to us nine years after the first installment, which this

255
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: is a movie that I never really thought would get

256
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: a sequel, So I think that's why it's also interesting

257
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: to me his character Launders money for some of his

258
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: character Launder's money uncooks books for some of the most

259
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: dangerous people and assassins in the world, so it looks

260
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: like he gets himself into another bit of a situation.

261
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I think the scene at the end of this trailer

262
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: with him and his brother in the movie getting full

263
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: on into gear, walking out and just start shooting people

264
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: up like that as a type of movie that you

265
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: just go watch and enjoy. So maybe it's because there's

266
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of substance and anything beyond that,

267
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: which is why some people hated it and some people

268
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: ripped it to shreds. I enjoyed The Accountant one. I'm

269
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: excited for this sequel, so by number seven, I have

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: The Accountant too, and number six coming out on October

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty fourth is Mortal Kombat two. Video game adaptations.

272
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: Are huge right now.

273
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat doesn't have the richest history of being movies

274
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: that push the boundaries, but they are just fun movies.

275
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: And I just love Mortal Kombat characters so much. From Scorpions,

276
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: sub Zero, Goro, Luke Cage, there are so many great

277
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat characters, some fan favorites making their debut. This

278
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: has been a movie I've been waiting for since the

279
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: first one came out in twenty twenty one. Not the

280
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: original ones from the nineties, but the reboot this so

281
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: it is a direct sequel to that one. I guess

282
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: it's part of a bigger franchise, but I'm still including

283
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: it on this list and number six. I have Mortal

284
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Kombat too at number five. I didn't do this on purpose,

285
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: but I do have Five Nights at Freddy's, which is

286
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: coming out on December fifth. And this was a movie

287
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I didn't fully get when it came out in the theaters.

288
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: I reviewed it in everybody on YouTube let me know

289
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: how much of an idiot I was, and I think

290
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: it's because of the culture surrounding the video.

291
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: Game, and people love this one.

292
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: It was a really big hit for Blumhouse, and I

293
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: feel like I just kind of missed it. I want

294
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: to revisit it. I want to give it a second chance.

295
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: But now I'm a little bit more excited going into

296
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the second one now that I kind of know what

297
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: to expect. And I think even up toil last year,

298
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: I was still kind of in the mindset that every

299
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: horror movie needed to be scary, and I don't know why,

300
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: and I think it's the way some trailers sell some

301
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: movies that I thought this one was gonna make me

302
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: feel that, and I'm kind of eliminating that now from

303
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: my criteria of horror movies where I want to focus

304
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: more on the world that they create and the feeling

305
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: that it gives me and the elements of horror that

306
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: still exists without them being like, ah, it's gonna make

307
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: you scared, which is not what the Five Nights at

308
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: Freddy's franchise is. Another really lasting effect of this movie

309
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: is I recently heard the song Talking in Your Sleep

310
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: by The Romantics, which is featured in the first one,

311
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: kind of the theme song of the movie in a

312
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: way tells you the plot of what was happening to

313
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the character in the original movie. And I heard it

314
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: on the radio and I immediately associated it with the movie.

315
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: And it's been a while since that's happened for a

316
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: movie to take a popular song from a while ago

317
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: reput it into a movie and it kind of have

318
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: a second life. And now I will forever associate Talking

319
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: in Your Sleep with Five Nights at Freddy's, much like

320
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: also last year Dead pulling Wolvere did with the Madonna song.

321
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: So a lot of these pulling inspiration from the eighties.

322
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: But I just love those movie and music moments in

323
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: films that leave an impression on us, because music and

324
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: movies should be more deliberate, in my opinion, use it

325
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: at just the right time to really connect with the

326
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: plot of the movie, connect with that moment of what

327
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: your character is going through. That is what makes lasting impressions.

328
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: It's a lot different than just slapping a popular song

329
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: into a movie and saying, oh, yeah, that song was

330
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: in this movie. That's not as memorable. You can take

331
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: you a good song and put it into a movie,

332
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: but if you don't really fit it into the story

333
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: and play it at the right time, then it's not

334
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna have that same effect.

335
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: But that song did it.

336
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm understanding more the lore of Five Nights at Freddy

337
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: So that is why I have this movie at number five.

338
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: At number four, I have Nobody Too coming out on

339
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: August fifteenth. Bob Odenkirk is returning in this movie twenty

340
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: twenty one. This was one of my favorite action movies

341
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: in a long time, and he plays a retired assassin

342
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: force back into action to take on this Russian mobster.

343
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: So that's kind of a theme of a lot of

344
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: the action movies I like. I love action movies where

345
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: it's somebody who's been retired or out of the game

346
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: for a while and something has to suck them back

347
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: into the game. But Nobody had really great fast paced

348
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: action and fighting sequences where characters broke bones.

349
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: Bob butden Kirk's.

350
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: Character was bloodied up, a lot of shootouts, a lot

351
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: of fighting, a destruction of an entire house.

352
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: This movie had it all.

353
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: There are very few movies that I feel comfortable with

354
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: showing my dad because my dad does not watch movies,

355
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: doesn't care for him. I'm not sure the last time

356
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: he has completed a movie. But Nobody is a movie

357
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: that I could put on and be like, oh.

358
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: Man, this is good.

359
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: I love he loves shoot him up action movies, and

360
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: he would say, I love this.

361
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: That is the type of movie.

362
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: That feels nostalgic for me in a way because those

363
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: are the only types.

364
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: Of movies that me and him could pond over.

365
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: So the fact that we're getting a Nobody to maybe

366
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I could convince him to go to the theater to

367
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: watch it. Highly doubt it. But as far as new

368
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: action franchises go, this is it. If you like movies

369
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: like John Wick, Monkey Man, you gotta check out Nobody

370
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it yet, and Nobody to you

371
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: again this summer.

372
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a banger at number three.

373
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Here's when we get into like the top tier, top

374
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: tier stuff. Megan two point zero coming out on June

375
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, which is right around my birthday. This movie

376
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: made so much money back in twenty twenty two, one

377
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty one million dollars. I would argue was

378
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: probably the most viral movie of that year where it's

379
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: hard to get a movie moment where even people who

380
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: had no idea who the Megan character was knew it

381
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: from either the Sea song and how viral that was

382
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: on TikTok.

383
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: You probably saw a clip.

384
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Of this even though you had seen the movie because

385
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: of that moment that this movie had so a big

386
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: hit For Blumhouse, who we've talked about already on this

387
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: list when talking about five Nights if Ready's but.

388
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: This is kind of their formula.

389
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: They spent only twelve million dollars on the original movie

390
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: and gross those one hundred and eighty one million dollars.

391
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: This is their model.

392
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: They spend a little bit and hope that through word

393
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: of mouth and through marketing and through creating a character

394
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: like Megan who is so interesting that they could get

395
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: a crazy return on their investment, and Megan has now

396
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: become one of the new modern horror icons, which you

397
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: don't really get a whole lot of those anymore, but

398
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: she's coming back. The movie is also getting a spin

399
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: off which is coming out in twenty twenty six, so

400
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: they're really building out a world for Megan. She could

401
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: be the new Chucky as far as the formula of

402
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: you have your Megan one, two, and three, that's probably

403
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: your initial trilogy, and then you start doing more side

404
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: quest When Megan as a kid, Megan gets older much

405
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: like Chucky did, and I compare her to Chucky because

406
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: she is a killer AI robot much like Chucky was

407
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: a killer doll, and you can have a lot of

408
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: fun with that. She also borrows a little bit from

409
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: the comedy of Child's Play, where even though at moments

410
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: in the movie it does feel a little bit sinister,

411
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: but then at moments it does get a little bit silly.

412
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: So I still hope they hold on to the great

413
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: tension and actual horror elements that the first one had,

414
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: because there were some moments in that movie that were

415
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: not chilling, but for a kind.

416
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: Of slasher horror sci fi.

417
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: Movie, it had some intense moments that costs for some

418
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: good showdowns. I hope it doesn't get too into the

419
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: realm of Oh people like Megan because she's a little

420
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 1: funny and sassy, So let's add some more comedic moments

421
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: into it.

422
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: Save that for part three.

423
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Make part two a little bit more sinister, and I

424
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: think we're in good hands here. Megan two at number three,

425
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: coming out on June twenty seventh. At number two, I

426
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: have Happy Gilmore. And I know this might contradict what

427
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: I've been saying about what feels like a cash grab

428
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: in every way, I feel that Happy Gilmore too is

429
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a cash grab. It's coming out on Netflix.

430
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: The official date still isn't out. I've seen some early

431
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: images and stills from the movie. The only thing aside

432
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: from that that I feel it's a little bit cash

433
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: graby is this movie is gonna be really heavy with

434
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: the cameos.

435
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: First one wasn't like that.

436
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: This has kind of become Adam Sandler's marketing strategy and

437
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: kind of how he makes movies now is he includes

438
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot of celebrities now to pop up throughout them,

439
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: and I feel like that takes away from the art

440
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: of Adam Sandler, which his early movies didn't rely on that.

441
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of the model he created with

442
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: the Grownups movies. And I think it's because Adam Sandler

443
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: is at a point in his life where he just

444
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: wants to create fun sets. He wants people to come

445
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: onto a set and have a good time while making

446
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: a movie, often filmed in tropical locations, so I think

447
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: that is why he does this now. He's just trying

448
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: to have a good time, which I can't hate on

449
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: him for. But I think it's just the fact that

450
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: it's Happy Gilmore one of the best movies of his career.

451
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: When you talk about top three movies of Adam Sandler

452
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: that he's ever done, they all go back to the nineties.

453
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean top two is easily Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.

454
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: For me, those are the quintessential movies I think about

455
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: when I think of Adam Sandler. Maybe it's because they

456
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: came out around each other. I also associate them with

457
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: having the Two Pac DVD back in the day. I

458
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: feel like those are his two best movies, even though

459
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: I think on any given day, Big Daddy could also

460
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: be my favorite. But throwing all those reasons to win

461
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: the fact that Travis Kelsey is in it, Bad Bunny

462
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: is in it, You have Shooter mcg we have in returning,

463
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: Julie Bowen is returning. It does have the pieces of

464
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: the original. I think to me, it's also just thinking

465
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: of the way that Netflix movies look now, where they.

466
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Don't really look like movies anymore.

467
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: They look really glossy and bright and colorful, and doesn't

468
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: really have that same warmth of a movie from the

469
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: nineties that I think a sequel like this needs. So

470
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a weird thing to complain about,

471
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: But I think the cinematography isn't going to match the

472
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: tone of the humor of Happy Gilmore.

473
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: I hope that it does, but I'm.

474
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: So excited just to see what the plot is and

475
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: to see how this plays out, and hoping that he

476
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: wasn't lying and saying we have a really good script,

477
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: that this movie is actually.

478
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: Going to be good.

479
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: So I ranked it so high because my hopes are

480
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: so high. The last time though my hopes were this

481
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: high an anticipation for a legacy direct sequel like this

482
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: was back when they made Dumb and Dumber two, and

483
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed in that movie. Don't do me

484
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: like that, Adam Sandler. But my hopes are staying high.

485
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: At number eight. I have Happy Gilmore two coming out

486
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: on Netflix later this year. How surprising that they're not

487
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: going to put out this movie in theaters? Is that

488
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: another indicator? Because I think if you had a really

489
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: good movie on your hands, oh, I do want to

490
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: get that thing in theaters. But Netflix pays them so

491
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: much money, and that's going to be number one on

492
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: Netflix for like two to three weeks, so they're really

493
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: paying for that. But at number one coming out on

494
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: November twenty first, it is Wicked for good. We have

495
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Alfa Banow in full control of her power. She has

496
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: declared the enemy of the state and turns into well

497
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: a full out which hunt.

498
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: The thing I love knowing.

499
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: Going into this movie is the fact that they already

500
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: told us what happens to her character at the beginning

501
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: of Wicked. It starts with her dying, and if you've

502
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: seen the original Wizard of Oz, you already knew what

503
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: was going to happen to her character.

504
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: Regardless to me, in.

505
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: My head, I I just can't see it getting there

506
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: because I love the character of Alphabet so much.

507
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: Cynthia Reewo does an amazing.

508
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: Job in the first one vocally and through acting, say

509
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: with Ariana Grande, but in my head, I couldnt see

510
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: her character getting to that point, and I'm thinking to myself, like,

511
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe they changed something, maybe they rewrite history, maybe there's

512
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: some kind of magic that happens in between that that

513
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to her character because I'm so invested and

514
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I love it so much that I don't want to

515
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: see that happen to her. But I also think that

516
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some kind of a shift in Wicked

517
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: for good. And this is me have never seen Wicked.

518
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: I've never seen it, I've never experienced that. I for

519
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: that reason, have not looked up any spoilers on what

520
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: happens in the musical because I don't want to know.

521
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: So this is me pure speculation.

522
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: What I like to do about movies is figure out

523
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, So you might already know. This

524
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: is just my theory, But I think there's gonna be

525
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: some real shift in her character where you see that

526
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: rapid decline and maybe we see ourselves not rooting for

527
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: her as much as we have been, and we do

528
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: see this wickedness come out in her where she really

529
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: starts to change. People around her go from defending her

530
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: to being in fear of her. And then we ultimately

531
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: do see your demise and it makes a little bit

532
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: more sense, or we see the opposite of her still

533
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: being kind of a good person and she sacrifices herself.

534
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: Because this movie was also split into two parts.

535
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: It was originally going to be one movie, and they

536
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: had so much story to tell, so much content, that

537
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: they split it into two. I am glad that they

538
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: are releasing it one year after the first one, so

539
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: we don't have to wait a whole lot. I think

540
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: it's also smart for them because if you missed Wicked

541
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: one in theaters, even though it's about to be on

542
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Peacock on March twenty first, they could have those double

543
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: features sold out as well, where you show Wicked one

544
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: and it rolls into Wicked two. Yeah, you're gonna be

545
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: at the theater for like five hours, but I could

546
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: see some people doing that. Then you add in some

547
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: singlelong screenings as well, and that is great for movie

548
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: theaters and taking this thing full circle. It is movies

549
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: like that that create that experience that get people into

550
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: the theater, and that allow theaters to keep their doors open,

551
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: and I will always be for that. So I'm not

552
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: anti squl, I'm just anti wasting money on things and

553
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: wasting our time on things that feels like they weren't

554
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: really made with the same quality as the original movies.

555
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: So that is my list of what I think will

556
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: be the top ten sequels of twenty twenty five.

557
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: I'll come back.

558
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: I'll give my spoiler free review of The Monkey. I

559
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: Need the Trailer Park, we'll talk about the new twisted

560
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: comedy Friendship.

561
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review

562
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: of The Monkey not to be confused with Monkey Man,

563
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: not to be confused.

564
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: With Better Man, which also has the Monkey not to

565
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: be confused with God Diliver versus Kong, not to be

566
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: confused with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. It

567
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: is a big time for monkeys right now. If you

568
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: put a monkey in a movie, I'm gonna go see

569
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: that movie.

570
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: And what this movie is about.

571
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: It is based on a short story by Stephen King,

572
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: So it's about a boy named Hal. He finds a

573
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: monkey in his attic that belonged to his dad, and

574
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: every time the monkey plays its symbols and plays its drums.

575
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Somebody around hal dies. I love that the movie really

576
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: doesn't give a whole lot of backstory, because sometimes when

577
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: it comes to horror movies, whenever there's some object that

578
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: can't be explained, they get into too big of an

579
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: exposition of where this thing came from.

580
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: I don't really care.

581
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: About that hops right into It feels like a bit

582
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: of a Twilight Zone episode or Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episode.

583
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: It is pretty violent and brutal.

584
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: Because all these people die in a very interesting way,

585
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of them in ways I've never seen on

586
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: screen before. There were some brutal kills. I've never been

587
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: to a Habati restaurant, but now I'm never going to never. Nope,

588
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm good on that. This movie is very inventive. It

589
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: is from director Oz per Perkins, who last year directed

590
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Long Legs, which I loved, and Long Legs had a

591
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: much different feel to this movie to me. Long Legs

592
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: felt more sinister. That movie was more of a crime

593
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: drama to me, and this one was a little bit

594
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: more fun. And I love that it was different than

595
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: Long Legs but still felt like it was in his world.

596
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: Oz Perkins is a director I feel just has his

597
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: hand knowing what he wants to do and how to

598
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: execute it, and that is important. And for a movie

599
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: like this that I thought was going to be a

600
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 1: little bit more comical, which at times it was, it

601
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: wasn't overly comical, which I thought they were going to

602
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: really lean into the campiness of the way.

603
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: Some of the characters died At times.

604
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: It did get a little bit lighthearted, but at its

605
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: core it still felt like it had that integrity of

606
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: trying to make a real twisted tail and it kept

607
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: me entertained from beginning to end. The movie is only

608
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: ninety minutes long, so to me, it didn't really waste

609
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot of time once we got going. The

610
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: first act was solid, which is all about these two

611
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: brothers who are twins.

612
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: They don't like like each other.

613
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: They're pretty much complete opposites, and they have this monkey

614
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: come into their lives after finding it in their dad's

615
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: attic belong to him. They're curious about it. Once they

616
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: pull it out of its box that has this really

617
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: weird inscription on it, it just starts killing people, and

618
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: that is what you kind of focus on in the

619
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: first act. Of this movie, and then the rest of

620
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: the movie is them twenty five years later. They've been

621
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: a strange they haven't been in communication with each other,

622
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: and the monkey is back and it starts killing people again,

623
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: so they have to find a way to defeat it.

624
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: THEO James plays both twin brothers, which I enjoyed seeing

625
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: how he could do two completely different characters. And it

626
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: wasn't just a wardrobe. It was the way each of

627
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: them spoke to me. I think that was the highlight

628
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: of this movie, the fact that I actually believe that

629
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: there could be two of them. And anytime you have

630
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: a movie where it's one actor playing two characters, I'm

631
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: always waiting for that one scene whenever they both have

632
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: to appear on screen, because whenever I watch a movie,

633
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm always looking for that stunt double in any action scene,

634
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, stunt double right there.

635
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: The posture looks different, looks different. This dude is bulkier.

636
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: I am annoying to watch a movie with because I

637
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: always like to point out the stunt double. And whenever

638
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: you do a movie where it's one actor playing twins,

639
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: there's always that scene where they have to appear on

640
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: screen together. And you're getting like the back of one

641
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: character in the front of the other character, and you

642
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: can tell that it's two different people.

643
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: In this case, it wasn't as.

644
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Awkward whenever they're both on screen because this movie did

645
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: a really great job with the visual effects, so those

646
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: scenes weren't that distracting. And I think when it comes

647
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: to an Oz Perkins movie, it very much has this

648
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: unique look to it that I've really come to love.

649
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: These great close ups and interesting framings that really make

650
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: this movie feel like its own thing. It feels like

651
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: you're living in an Oz Perkins world when you watch

652
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: the Monkey, when you watch Long Legs, And I think

653
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: that is something that not only a great horror director

654
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: needs to do, but any great director. And when it

655
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: comes to a horror movie like this, you have to

656
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: walk that line of how serious are you gonna take yourself?

657
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's why a movie like this works,

658
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: because the tone was just right. It took itself seriously

659
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: enough that you actually cared and were rooting for some

660
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: of these characters, rooting against some of these characters. You

661
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: felt an emotional connection to his character when he was

662
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: a younger kid, when he grows up and it was

663
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: that attachment that you really needed. So it had that

664
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: sense of taking itself seriously enough. But then also when

665
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: it came to some of the horror elements and there

666
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: came time to have some fun with some of the

667
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: ways that these people died, it didn't take itself as seriously,

668
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: And I think it always comes down to that tone

669
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: and the performances from the actors in a.

670
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: Horror movie like this.

671
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel that characters get a little bit too

672
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: serious on what they find scary in a horror movie,

673
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: where they oversell it a little bit and they're trying

674
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: to convince you how scary it is, and sometimes that.

675
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: Loses me a little bit.

676
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: And it was the way that the characters reacted to

677
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: that that made it more believable, and the fact that

678
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: they didn't take themselves too seriously is what really sold it.

679
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: This movie also had really great writing. There were some

680
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: lines of Diet that really stuck with me. The movie

681
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: centers around the theme of deadbeat dads, the relationship between

682
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: you and your brother, so there's that sibling bond also

683
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: those feelings that you have when you don't really get

684
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: along with your siblings, and then later the theme shifts

685
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: whenever one of the brothers becomes a dad and then

686
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: has a son not wanting to be like his dad.

687
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: And there is a line that is discussed in the

688
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: movie that really stuck with me that I wrote it down.

689
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Death is the only thing that happens to all of us,

690
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: yet we're all surprised when it does. I thought that

691
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: was pretty profound, because, like I was saying earlier, at times,

692
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: this movie is a little bit campy, but then you

693
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: have some lines like that, the themes that they try

694
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: to drive home when it comes to these relationships, and

695
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: that one just kind of stuck with me, so proving

696
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: to me that this movie had more depth than I

697
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: was expecting. I thought it was just gonna be ridiculous

698
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: death after ridiculous death, which it did have. That there

699
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: were some great stills and moments in this movie that

700
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a great death, that's a great shot.

701
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: That is a great way to show how this monkey

702
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: is wreaking havoc, and the monkey itself look phenomenal. I

703
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: wanted to get out and touch that thing because it

704
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: looks so cool. So that was another great piece. I

705
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: feel like that is gonna be another great movie artifact

706
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: in the horror genre. And I think the thing I

707
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: love now about os Perkins that he's becoming a director

708
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna start investing my time in, and anytime

709
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: he puts out a movie, it's one I'm gonna take

710
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: note of. It's because the movie is so effortlessly interesting

711
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: and it's so uniquely itself, and it was the only

712
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: time I had seen a horror movie like this where

713
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: I actually thought maybe they could make a prequel because

714
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: they don't spend a whole lot of time focusing on

715
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: the origins of this monkey, which I think was great.

716
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: That would have been a waste of time.

717
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like horror movies always explored that a

718
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit too much of like where did this monkey

719
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: come from?

720
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: We must find the source, or sometimes in.

721
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: Really cliched horror movies, there's this big, drawn out moment

722
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: where they find somebody living in some remote hut and

723
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: go ask them about the questions of this ancient artifact,

724
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: and then they get the story and then they had

725
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: to go rush to save somebody. They didn't have that

726
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: at all in this movie, and I was glad they

727
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: didn't do that.

728
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: So for that reason, I give the monkey four out

729
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: of five symbols. It's time to head down to movie mics,

730
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: Traylor Paul.

731
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: Tim Robinson is my favorite comedian right now, and he's

732
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: not really a stand up comedian.

733
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: I think the word comedian has changed.

734
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: Especially with the rise of TikTok and how big is

735
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: Show I Think You Should Leave has become not just

736
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: from people watching it on Netflix, but from clips.

737
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: And memes, memes of all things being posted.

738
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: On TikTok, where you might not know the name Tim Robinson,

739
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: but if you saw his face, you'd be like, Oh,

740
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: it's that guy who's screaming in the drive through. Why

741
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: can I take your order?

742
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 3: With the progress prize Spithing by Taco, snifty by Pie

743
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: sinthy by hun hundred pieces, one hundred tenners, hundred peoples,

744
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: one hundred coffee with the Wye Smithy, my Sex, my

745
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: Pastapnything by Pepperton, one hundred fifty my taters.

746
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that'll be six hundred and eight dollars.

747
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Okay, who I've seen on a lot of memes, you

748
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: would recognize him.

749
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 2: You sure about that? You sure about that? You sure

750
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 2: about that?

751
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: And when it comes to what a comedian is to me,

752
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: it's just somebody who makes me laugh. I think people

753
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: think who's your favorite comedian, it automatically is a stand

754
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: up comedian. I don't think that's the case anymore, especially

755
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: in a world where there are so many different ways

756
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: to make people laugh. You could be funny on YouTube,

757
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: you could be funny on TikTok, you could just be

758
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: a funny person who writes things on Twitter.

759
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: There are so many avenues.

760
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: Now to be funny that I don't think you have

761
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: to be a standard stand up comedian to make people laugh.

762
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: They're just podcasters who aren't necessarily comedians, but they have

763
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: comedy podcasts where they can have funny conversations. So for me,

764
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: that person right now is Tim Robinson. He has created

765
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: what I believe to be the most innovative comedy, bringing

766
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: back just very dumb, slapstick things. He was at one

767
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: point a writer and cast member on SNL, which that

768
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: didn't pan out so well for him and is now

769
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: viewed as like, oh man, SNL really let one slip

770
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: through the cracks with him as he's become more successful,

771
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: and he has a very unique approach to comedy where

772
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: it's very awkward and he has characters that get hyper

773
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: focused on one thing to make something awkward and then

774
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: just fully commit to it, keep doing it through repetition,

775
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: doubling down on awkward situations, and creating really bizarre, outlandish moments.

776
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: He's known for screaming and just very unique delivery that

777
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: I came to love from watching his clips on TikTok

778
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: then going to watch You Think I Think you should

779
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: leave on Netflix. He also has a show called Detroiters

780
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: that was on Comedy Central back in like the twenty tens,

781
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: that had two seasons but then got canceled. And I

782
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: think he's always just been committed to the bit, committed

783
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: to this character, and committed to the style of comedy.

784
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: It's great to see it actually starting to work now.

785
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: And it's so funny to me that I think it's

786
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: at that level that if you don't find it remotely funny,

787
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: and I know comedy is subjective, and I always am

788
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: hesitant in recommending any type of comedy for that reason,

789
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: and I get that it is so dumb and acidine

790
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: at times where it's like, oh, why do you find

791
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: this funny? And in this moment, I don't care to

792
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: defend it. I don't care to put any kind of

793
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: prerequisite on this. It's just somebody that I can irrationally

794
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: say that if you don't find them funny, then I

795
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: don't know what you do find funny.

796
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.

797
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: Five, where I feel like we are afraid of weird

798
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: when anytime there's any kind of weird comedy, we put

799
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: it in this different category that just because it's not

800
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: your straight ahead here's a joke, here's a punchline, here's

801
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: a setup, here's a punchline, or taking that to movies

802
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: of like, oh, here's somebody doing something and then they

803
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: said this, and oh, that's funny, and then they fall

804
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: down that comedy has to have some kind of formula

805
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: or have some kind of standard and can't be weird.

806
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: That is just destroying any kind of innovativeness when it

807
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: comes to comedy in a genre that needs it. And

808
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: I think Tim Robinson is doing that. He is bringing

809
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: back what I used to feel in like the two

810
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: thousands watching Family Guy for the first time, where I

811
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: was like, I'm never gonna find anything as funny as

812
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: this ever again. He is doing that for me right

813
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: now where I feel at times so dead inside when

814
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: it comes to find anythings funny, even movies that now

815
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: I watch and I was like, oh, that was a

816
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: funny movie.

817
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: Rarely do I laugh out loud.

818
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: But when I watch his stuff, I am actually laughing

819
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: out loud repeating his stuff. That is how I feel

820
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: about him. And in this new movie he stars in

821
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: it with Paul Rudd. It's an a twenty four movie

822
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: called Friendship. It is kind of what is being described

823
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: as I Love You Man, which also starred Paul Rudd

824
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: Buffer Sickos. It is Tim Robinson's character who keeps to himself.

825
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: He's kind of nerdy, and he forms a friendship with

826
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: his neighbor, who is like the coolest guy played by

827
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: Paul Rudd. Doesn't really want to be friends with him

828
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: at first, but his wife kind of sells them money.

829
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: He hangs out with him, they become friends. They're really

830
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: close for a minute, and then Paul Rudd decides, I

831
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: don't want to be friends with you anymore. And then

832
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: the trailer takes a bit of a turn where it

833
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: goes from this kind of warm slapstick comedy to being kind.

834
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: Of a thriller, kind of a.

835
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Horror movie, which I really loved that flipping this trailer.

836
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: So before I talk more about it, here's just a

837
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit of Friendship, which is coming out this summer.

838
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: On May ninth, Monny, the.

839
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 3: New neighbor invited you over for a drink. It Hey, tonight,

840
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: I said you'd go.

841
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 2: You don't know my schedule?

842
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: You sit there every night.

843
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 3: It might be nice to have a pal, you know.

844
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: A bud. Hey, guys, this is my neighbor, Craig. He's

845
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: the best book. We had a couple of really nice hangs.

846
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: I think the best that we go our separate ways.

847
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 2: I don't wish to continue this friendship. You all accepted

848
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: me way too fast. You can't do that. You made

849
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: me feel too free. People need rules, you said, Bedad,

850
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: you psych the.

851
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: Just in that clip, you get kind of a taste

852
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: of his comedy if you're not familiar with it. For me,

853
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: it's the interaction with him and his wife of her

854
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: volunteering to go hang out with this guy and he's like,

855
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: you know know my schedule? Like I love that, just

856
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: that little line, I love that, or then him yelling at.

857
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: The other guy like who are you?

858
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: It is those types of deliveries that I realize that

859
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: sound crazy saying that those are my favorite. But it's

860
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: that type of humor that I just have an attachment to,

861
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: very awkward, very situational, and it's something that I feel

862
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: is becoming a part of him and a part of

863
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: the characters that he plays that all kind of have

864
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: this similar style to them, which is something that is working.

865
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: But it's it's interesting now watching this trailer hearing that

866
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: of how much it sounds like characters he has already played.

867
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: So I think he is kind of playing into that

868
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: where there are some comedic actors like that who start

869
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: to just kind of play themselves. You think about Michael Sarah,

870
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: you think about Ryan Reynolds, where they put a lot

871
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: of their personality into their characters and they kind of

872
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: have this theme going. Some people will say they become

873
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: typecast because they can only play themselves, but I think

874
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: if you're that funny and that unique and it works

875
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: in movies, continue to do it. Ryan Reynolds has made

876
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: a career off that, and every comedy is basically the

877
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: same character now and if you see all that he

878
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: has going on now, well, I'd rather make me laugh

879
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: than make me cringe at what's going on in the

880
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: news right now. But the tagline to this movie is

881
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: men shouldn't have friends all because he tries to befriend

882
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: his charismatic new neighbor and it soon threatens both of

883
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: their lives. I guess the comparison is made because I

884
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Love You Man does star Paul Rudd. He's getting married

885
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: and doesn't have a best man, so we be friends

886
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: Jason Siegel and they try to make that work.

887
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: And that's a good movie to me.

888
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: It reminds me more of that episode of The Simpsons

889
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: whenever Homer and Ned become friends and Homer becomes the

890
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: obsessed friend who wants to hang out all the time.

891
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: He's coming over when he's not invited. He is chasing

892
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: them in their car because they locked up all the

893
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: doors and try to get out of town without him.

894
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: That is what it reminds me of more because I

895
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: feel his character becoming more psycho obsessed in the fact

896
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: that he gets cut off. And this is the trailers

897
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: that I watched and I thought, I don't know how

898
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: this movie is gonna end. Some trailers I know everything

899
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: about it in those two and a half to three

900
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: minutes that I'm like, I just watched the entire movie

901
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: right now, This one no idea, and I love that,

902
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 1: So maybe it's me. I kind of think of when

903
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: I got to that point where I was partying pretty hard,

904
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: at drinking a lot, where it started to take a

905
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: lot of beers for me to actually get drunk. To

906
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: anybody young listening, don't drink beer to your twenty one

907
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: of legal age. But back when I was in college

908
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: and I would drink beer, I got to a point

909
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: where I was like, man, I.

910
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: Need like a twelve pack to really have a good time.

911
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's really why I don't drink so

912
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: much anymore, is because I'm not a drink one or

913
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: two type of person. I'm like, I'm either having none

914
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: or I'm having every beer in this house. So I

915
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: got to a point where it did take a lot

916
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: more adult beverages to get me to that level. I

917
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: think I'm also on that point now when it comes

918
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: to movies, where it takes something so at a left

919
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: field in the comedy realm to really make me laugh,

920
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: to become a movie that I feel becomes a part

921
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: of my comedic DNA, which is hard to do.

922
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:34,959
Speaker 2: Now.

923
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: There are movies that I have enjoyed in the last

924
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: five years. I mean even just this year with one

925
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: of them Days Bottoms Babes. Comedy movies like that that

926
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: I have enjoyed, but they haven't really absorbed themselves into

927
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: my comedy DNA that I feel now it is what

928
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Tim Robinson is doing, and I hope that this movie does. So.

929
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: If you like slightly off comedies that are absurd, chaos

930
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: and deeply awkward, then hopefully you and I will both

931
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: love Friendship again. It's coming out on May fifth, and

932
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: the fact that they got Paul Rudd to be a

933
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: part of this movie too gives me hope that I'll

934
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: get more eyeballs on it.

935
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of Movie by Framer

936
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: par Ken.

937
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: That is going to do it for another episode here

938
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: of the podcast, but before I go, I gotta give

939
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: my listener's shout out of the week. I felt myself

940
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: starting to lose my voice a little bit in that

941
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: last segment, so I needed to jump into an entirely

942
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: different voice to reset it.

943
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 2: I think we're good now. Do I have my voice back? Yes?

944
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: I do, all right. Before we go.

945
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: Every single week, I got to give my listeners shout

946
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: out of the week. This is episode two hundred and

947
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: sixty five, and I'm pretty sure I did this on

948
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: the very first episode. I think I made it a

949
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: point to shout somebody. I couldn't have done it on

950
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: the first episode if I didn't have anything to reference yet,

951
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: so maybe I did it on the second one. So

952
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: maybe this is the two hundred and sixty fourth shout out.

953
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: But this week's listener shout out comes to us from

954
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: YouTube shout out Manuel Hernandez, who commented on My Captain

955
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 1: America a Brave New World review and said a lot

956
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: of Marvel movies have just been fine. People seem to

957
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: look back as if they were all masterpieces. And I

958
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: think that is a great point, Manuel, that we do

959
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: forget that in phase one. Maybe not so much phase one,

960
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: but phase two. In Phase three, we had some real

961
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: turns in there, Thwar, the Dark World, ant Man in

962
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: the Wasp. There were some missteps there in Marvel that

963
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: I think, like I was mentioning earlier in this episode,

964
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: sometimes when you get ten years past something, you look

965
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: back with these rose colored glasses, thinking, ah, everything was

966
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: so good back in the day. But I remember even

967
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: feeling during those first few phases leading up to Age

968
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: of Ultron and then even more so leading up to

969
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: Infinity War, that it felt like there were some filler

970
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: movies in there, and movies that felt that they were

971
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: just pushing the narrative and pushing along the storyline to

972
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: get us to those big Avengers movies that now looking

973
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: back on everything before twenty nineteen think oh it was

974
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: all gold. Everything was good then not the case, and

975
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people felt that I was too negative

976
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: even with my spoiler review of Captain America Brave New World,

977
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: and I was just trying to say that it is

978
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those pieces much like we had

979
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: in those other phases that just felt like, Okay, this

980
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: is good for right now, but it's not gonna be

981
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: a movie you look back on in those ten years

982
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: and want to go revisit, much like thor The Dark

983
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: World or Aimin in the Wasp. Gonna be good for

984
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: the time being. I'm glad that it made a lot

985
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: of money, because at least to that, you can't say

986
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: the MCU is dead when it's still making millions of dollars.

987
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: But I just don't think this is going to be

988
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: anybody's favorite movie in the MCU of all time, which

989
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: is fine, not every movie has to be that. We

990
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: just have that higher standard now since Endgame. But thank

991
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 1: you Minuelle for that comment, thank you everybody for listening,

992
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 1: and until next time.

993
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,479
Speaker 2: By the way, if you did miss that.

994
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 1: Spoiler version of Captain America Brave New World I did.

995
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: That was at the end of last week, go back

996
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: one in the feed and check that out as well.

997
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: You had time to catch that in between now and then.

998
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: But until next time, go out and watch good movies

999
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later.
