1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, your

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: go to source for all things movies. I am your host,

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Movie Mike A K eight Mike D. I'm just the

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: guy who loves movies. I would talk about them even

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: if I didn't have this podcast, and every single week

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: I bring you a movie exploration topic. Sometimes I talked

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: to actors and directors. Today, I want to talk about

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: some of the most successful low budget movies. These are

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: all films that got made for a pretty small amount

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: of money and ended up doing really well at the

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: box office. I'll get into my review of Jackass Forever

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: and in the Trailer Park you had another Texas Chainsaw

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Massacre reboot is coming to Netflix, so we'll talk about that.

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for being subscribed, Thanks for listening every single week.

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: Special shout out to the Monday Movie crew. And if

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: you're down, I'm down. Let's talk movies. In a world

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: in a movie podcast, a man with so much movie knowledge.

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: He's basically you're like walking on with glasses from the

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: Nashville Podcast Network. Movie So I usually get a lot

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: of good feedback whenever I do episode it's discussing some

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: movie math. It's one of my favorite subjects to dive into.

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: And this week I wanted to get into movies that

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: made a lot of money with a pretty small budget.

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: And first of all, I just kind of want to

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: set the stage or what a normal movie cost to

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: make nowadays, and I think that will be a little

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: bit better of a reference we get into some of

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: these low budget movies now. A typical movie now cost

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: around sixty five million dollars to make. It depends on

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: who is the lead in it, because now actors are

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: getting paid twenty thirties, sometimes upward of fifty million dollars

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: for a single role. Streaming has greatly changed how much

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: an actor can make because when you go and do

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: movies or streaming services, there's really not a whole lot

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: of money to make on the back end with ticket sales.

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: But generally a movie can get made for sixty five

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. Of recent note, Joker, which was made in

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, was fifty five million dollars to make. Joaquin

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Phoenix made about four point five million dollars for that movie,

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: but then you have bigger production movies, the Marvel movies,

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: the big action movies, and a movie like Spider Man

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: No Way Home cost about two hundred million dollars to make,

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: and that goes on to make you know, one point

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars. So that's kind of a range for

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: a normal movie, and you think, oh, maybe an animated

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: movie will cost a little bit less. Well, No and

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: Gonzo also cost a hundred and fifty million dollars to make,

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: and that has made around two hundred and thirty three

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: million dollars. Another movie for reference, Don't Look Up, which

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: came out on Netflix, that costs about a hundred and

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: ten million dollars to make, and thirty million of that

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: was paying Leonardo DiCaprio. Twenty five million of that was

55
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: playing Jennifer Lawrence. So a great deal of a movie

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: like that is paying the big star actors. And when

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: you talk about low budget movies, generally the consensus is

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: anything made under two million dollars would be a low

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: budget movie. This is a very independent movie. Anything under

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the two million dollar range is probably gonna have relatively

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: unknown actors or maybe bigger actors taking a lower salary

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: in order to get a movie made or it's the

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: very first in the franchise of movies that later the

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: sequels will make a lot more and the actors will

65
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: get paid a lot more for I think it's very

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: rare to find a movie under two million dollars, So

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: we'll get to some of those movies under the two

68
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: million dollar mark. But I didn't want to start a

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: little bit higher just to kind of get a bigger

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: range on this topic with the movies that got made

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: for less than ten million dollars. So we'll start first

72
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: with Little Miss Sunshine that came out in two thousand

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and six that had a budget of eight million dollars.

74
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: The movie stars Steve Carrell. It's like a drama t

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: slash comedy road trip movie. And with it only costing

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: eight million dollars to make, after Fox Searchlight Pictures bought

77
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: the rights to it, we're able to put it out

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: in theaters. After it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

79
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: It went on to make a hundred and one million dollars.

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: But not only that, this movie was highly critically acclaimed,

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: one Oscars for Best Original screen Play, Best Supporting Actor.

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: So I feel like sometimes with these lower budget movies.

83
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Almost the idea is for it dictor to awards season.

84
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: I feel like in between the ten million dollar and

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the five million dollar range is where a lot of

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: these movies live. Because another movie that came out in

87
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Juno, costs six point five million

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: dollars to make, ended up making two d and thirty

89
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: one million dollars at the box office and also just

90
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of critical acclaim. And with both of

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: these movies, they have a low five feel and a

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: lot what goes into having a successful movie with the

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: lower budget is the story. I think you'll see a

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: theme in all of these movies. There has to be

95
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: something so dynamic about the story that would have people

96
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, really pick out and want to watch this movie.

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's where the real success is with

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: a low budget movie. It's something that you want to

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: tell your friend about whether the subject matter alone is

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: worthy of wanting to watch the movie. And sometimes in

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Juno's case, it doesn't hurt to have a really good soundtrack,

102
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: but also just really good actors who put up a

103
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: performance that is worthy of winning an Oscar. Along with

104
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: that original screenplay, that's something that hasn't been done before.

105
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: And this is really something that I kind of feel

106
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: is like a win for a director, a win for

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: an actor to be a part of a production like this.

108
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And sometimes it is the lower budget movies from an

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: actor that becomes some of fans just favorite movies. So

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: those are a couple under the ten million dollar mark.

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: Now let's get into movies that got made under five

112
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: million dollars. And right at the five million dollar mark

113
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: is twenty seventeens Get Out, directed by Jordan Peel and

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: with the relatively low price tag of four point five

115
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: million dollars to make this movie, and went on to

116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: make two hundred and fifty five point four million dollars.

117
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good profit margin. And this is the

118
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: first time in this list I'll talk about horror movies,

119
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: but I feel like horror is a really lucrative genre

120
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: when done right, when you have a unique concept, you

121
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: don't really need a whole lot of other movie magic

122
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: making effects. It's all about the story. It's all about

123
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: creating that feeling of of stress, of anxiety when you're

124
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: watching a movie. If you can create that energy of

125
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: keeping people on the edge of their seat while watching

126
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: something that you know invokes a feeling of being scared

127
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: in the theater at your house. That's all you need.

128
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: It's just that feeling. And horror movies can do that,

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: and they can do that for a pretty low budget

130
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: if done right. And also in this category of movies

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: made under five million dollars, you have movies that are

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: cult classics. And I want to talk about Donnie Darko,

133
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: which came out in two thousand and one, cost only

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: four point five million dollars to make. And while this

135
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: movie wasn't a box office success in any means, it

136
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: only made seven point five million dollars at the box office,

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: But Donnie Darko has become a cult classic, which almost

138
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: goes further than any amount of money you can make

139
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: at the box office. Sometimes movies come and go. A

140
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: movie that made a lot maybe just a few years ago,

141
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: we kind of forget about. But a movie like this

142
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: that lives on forever and becomes people's favorite movie of

143
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: all time, I think that's almost worth more. And even

144
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: though it doesn't have that commercial success to really hold

145
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: on too, if you can make a cult classic, you

146
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: can almost live forever through that. Johnny dark it was

147
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: probably a movie that this next generation will watch again

148
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: in generations to come, we'll keep watching because it has

149
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: this following. So while it's not successful financially, I think

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: you can measure success in other ways of you know,

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: how long this movie is going to last and how

152
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: much people are going to continue to watch this movie.

153
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: And the thing that director James Gunn kind of explains

154
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: so well that I was able to take away from

155
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: recently is that he said that a lot of his

156
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: favorite movies he didn't watch in theaters, like Jaws is

157
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: one of his favorite movies, but he's never seen that

158
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: movie in theaters. Really none of us have. But that

159
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: movie lives on forever and never because we watch it

160
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: at home streaming her on the DVD on the Blu Ray.

161
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: So when Donnie darkos case, that's how I measured this

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: movie's success. Other movies in this bracket are from two

163
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: thousand and three. Lost in Translation cost four million dollars

164
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: to make, ended up making a hundred and eighteen million dollars,

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: also got nominated for four Oscars and one for Best

166
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Original Screenplay. And also in this bracket, The Oscar Wins

167
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Keep on Coming. Steen Moonlight came out cost four million

168
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: dollars to make, ended up making sixty five million dollars

169
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: at the box office, and then the following year won

170
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: the Oscar for Best Picture. A few more movies here

171
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: to mention. Garden State, which came out in two thousand

172
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: and four, was made for only two point five million dollars,

173
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: ended up making thirty five million dollars at the box office.

174
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Another case of a really good soundtrack really helping this

175
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: movie and helping it live on. Then in two thousand

176
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: and four, Saw came out, only cost one point two

177
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: million dollars to make, but ended up making a hundred

178
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: and three million dollars at the box office. Movie that

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: everybody talked about when that movie came out, how just

180
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: shocking and in credit a bull it was, and with

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: just one point two million dollars, that spawned an entire

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: franchise that has now grossed over a billion dollars. And

183
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: then one more in this bracket. In nineteen Quentin Tarantino's

184
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Reservoir Dogs came out. He made that movie for one

185
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: point two million dollars. It went on to make about

186
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: two point nine million dollars at the box office, but

187
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: really kick started his career after Reservoir Dogs. Basically everybody

188
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: wanted to mimic that movie and make their own version

189
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: of Reservoir Dogs. All right now, I want to get

190
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: into movies made for a million dollars or right around it.

191
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: In the first movie from nineteen seventies six, it's just

192
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: a little bit above a million. But I feel like

193
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: this is a pretty amazing feat for this movie. And

194
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: the movie is Rocky, which was made for one point

195
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: one million dollars, went on to gross two hundred and

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars in a movie that has become

197
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone's signature movie has also spawned one of the

198
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: best movie franchises. It went on to win Best Picture.

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: And what I love about the Rocky movies is much

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: like Rocky in the real movie, it really was a

201
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: sleeper hit. Nobody expected this to be the biggest movie

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventies six and then continue to make money

203
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: and was the second highest grossing movie in nineteen seventies seven,

204
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: right behind Star Wars. And a rare thing to happen

205
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: is a movie like this to have such of a

206
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: box office impact, a movie that a lot of people

207
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: end up going to see because sometimes movies that get

208
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Picture. You know, not everybody has seen

209
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: these movies. But a movie that had this much power

210
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: going into it was up for ten Oscars and ended

211
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: up winning three, including Best Picture. Like that's amazing. That

212
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: really hasn't been heard of in a very long time.

213
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: So with all that considered, out of all the movies

214
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I put together on this list today, I think that

215
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: is one of the most impressive things. But now we'll

216
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: get into movies made for less than a million dollars.

217
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: A horror classic which came out in nineteen sixty Psycho

218
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: from Alfred Hitchcock. Was able to make this movie for

219
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars, which back in was probably a

220
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: lot more money, but it went on to make fifty

221
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: million dollars. An interesting thing I recently found out about Psycho.

222
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: It's basically credited for being the movie that created movie times.

223
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: Alfred Hitchcock had to make it a point that if

224
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: somebody was going to watch Psycho, they had to watch

225
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: it from beginning to end. And before that it was

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more normal for movie theaters just to

227
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: keep playing movies on a loop, and people would come

228
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: in and watch them and you wouldn't necessarily start right

229
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning and finished right at the end. You

230
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: could just walk in at the beginning, maybe you're in

231
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: the middle, maybe there's another movie starting right after. The

232
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: environment really wasn't made to watch a movie. People in

233
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: there were, you know, just hanging out. But when it

234
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: came to Psycho, that's when the movie times were set, like,

235
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: you have to arrive at this time. You have to

236
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: see the movie from the start to the end to

237
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,239
Speaker 1: get this movie. So not only was it a successful,

238
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: low budget movie, it also changed the way we go

239
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: and watch movies. Now, how about we go even cheaper?

240
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: In the blair Witch Project comes out, the movie only

241
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: cost six hundred thousand dollars to make, and you probably

242
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: watch it thinking I could have made this for five

243
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: bucks in a VHS tape, and you're probably right. But

244
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: the movie went on to make two and fifty million

245
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: dollars and really just created its own genre with being

246
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: the first movie to really adapt the found footage horror movie.

247
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the first one was called UFU Abduction, but

248
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: blair Witch is the one that really put this type

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: of movie on the map, and the way they did

250
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: this was really all in the marketing and the thing

251
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: that some horror movies do is they create these concepts

252
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: and these ideas that you wonder to yourself as the viewer,

253
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: did this actually happened? And that was the biggest thing

254
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: behind the Blair Witch Project is it was kind of

255
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: marketed and pitched as this actually happened somewhere and you

256
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: were just watching this, And that's what made it a

257
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: little bit more scary. I know what they did with

258
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: Texas Chainsaw massacre to where some people kind of forgot

259
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: whether or not that was a real event. And when

260
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: you watch something in that type of way, it becomes

261
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: more scary because you wonder, what if this happened to me,

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: what would I do? And with something like The Blair

263
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Witch Project, it almost sounds like something that could actually happen.

264
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: So the movie was such a pop culture hit then

265
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: paved the way and set the stage for other found

266
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: footage movies, but at the time was a totally original concept.

267
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: And yow, from six hundred thousand dollars to two and

268
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, that's a really good profit margin. Let's

269
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: go down even further. In two thousand and four, Napoleon

270
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: Dynamite comes out. The movie costs only four thousand dollars

271
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: to make and ended up making forty six million dollars

272
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: at the box office. I think the most interesting thing

273
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: about this is that John Heater, who plays Napoleon Dynamite,

274
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: was only paid a thousand dollars for his role. And

275
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: this is the movie that really put him on the

276
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: map allowed him to have other major movie roles. It

277
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: really Napoleon Dynamite is the one movie that John Heater

278
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: will always be known for. And luckily he still makes

279
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: money off the royalties. After this movie was a success,

280
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: he was able to renegotiate and get a percentage of

281
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: the movie's profits, so he's made a lot more than

282
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars now from this movie. And I've seen

283
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: other stories of people who were extras in this movie.

284
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: They weren't paid. They were just like, Hey, you want

285
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: to be a part of a movie. Hop on this

286
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: bus and we're gonna film this scene. And I think

287
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: that is my new goal in life. I just want

288
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: to be an extra in a movie. So if anybody

289
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: has any leads on that, hit me up a few

290
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: more movies I want to mention before I get to

291
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: the most profitable movie of all time based on returning investment.

292
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: From nineteen seventy nine, you have Mad Max, which was

293
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: made for a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and

294
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: ended up making a hundred million dollars at the box office. Now,

295
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: if you want to compare that to Mad Max, Fury Road,

296
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: which came out in that movie cost about a hundred

297
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: and fifty to a hundred and eighty million dollars to

298
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: make and went on to make three hundred and seventy

299
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: four million dollars, So it ended up making a lot

300
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: more money, but also had to spend a lot more money.

301
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Which one of those would be your favorite? I would

302
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: still lean to probably Mad Max Fury Road, but for

303
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: being able to make Mad Max for three hundred and

304
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars, as intricate as that movie is, that

305
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: is also pretty impressive. From nine Clerks was made for

306
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: only two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and this was

307
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: coming from an original budget that Kevin Smith only had

308
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: about twenty seven thousand dollars to make this movie. He

309
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: sold off a bunch of his like rare comic books,

310
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: maxed out every single credit card to get this movie. Made,

311
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: and I love that this movie feels very low budget.

312
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: You watch Clerks in black and white and it almost

313
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: feels like it was a movie made by a group

314
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: of your friends. But it's one of my favorite Kevin

315
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Smith movies, and of everything he's made since, I think

316
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: it's the one that resonates with Kevin Smith's fans the most.

317
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: And this movie made three point one million dollars at

318
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: the box office, but as the movie responsible for putting

319
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: him on the map and allowing him to make another movie,

320
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: you know there's another Clerks movie in the works. I

321
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: thought Clerks too was great. My other favorite Kevin Smith

322
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: movie is without a doubt, Mall Rats. I love that

323
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: all of his films don't really have like this well finished,

324
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Hollywood polished to them. It's all about the writing, It's

325
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: all about the comedy and all about the character stories.

326
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Another low budget movie was Swingers, from cost two hundred

327
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to make and made four point six million dollars.

328
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: That was directed by Jon Favreau, who has done The Mandalorian,

329
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: who has done the original Iron Man and has really

330
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: become an underrated director and writer. And the way he

331
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: saved a lot of money while making this movie was

332
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: well casting himself. You also have a couple of documentaries

333
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: here in two thousand and four, Supersize Me was made

334
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: for sixty five thousand dollars, that's it, and ended up

335
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: making twenty two point two million dollars at the box office.

336
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: And then Catfish from twelve was made for thirty thousand

337
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: dollars and that made three point seven million owners of

338
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: the box office. Documentaries can usually be made for a

339
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: lot less money, but with Catfish and Supersize Me, those

340
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: were documentaries that a lot of people talked about, so

341
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: a lot of their success came from word of mouth

342
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: and also just the power of them being able to

343
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: storytell in these documentaries. And then finally the movie that

344
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: is the most profitable movie ever made based on return investment.

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: It is from two thousand and seven, Paranormal Activity, which

346
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: was made for just fifteen thousand dollars. That's right, one

347
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: five zero zero zero dollars, and for that low budget

348
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: it went on to make a hundred and ninety three

349
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: million dollars. They've made sequel after sequel spinoffs in this movie,

350
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: and it borrowed from the Blair Witch Project in the

351
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: same way if you're watching this movie feeling like this

352
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: actually happened to the people living in this house, and

353
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: it's a pretty crazy and freaky concept that you'll go

354
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: home and be a little bit freaked out at every

355
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: single noise in your house. And where the paranormal activity

356
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: movies took it a bit further, it was really marketing

357
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: towards the last fifteen minutes of the movie. Like in

358
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: all the trailers that played for this movie, it was like,

359
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: you'll be shocked by the last fifteen minutes. You're not

360
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna want to miss that, And that creates the sense

361
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, I really got to pay attention

362
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: to this movie to the very end. I gotta go

363
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: see this movie in theaters. So there is such clever

364
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: filmmaking and the paranormal activity movies that they don't get

365
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: enough credit for to be able to take not a

366
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of money a movie that looks like it

367
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: was just shot on some old cam quorders from you know,

368
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: the two thousands. So there you go. I hope you

369
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. Coming up next, actually the movie that kind

370
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: of inspired this entire list, I want to talk about

371
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Jackass Forever and some of the Jackass movies that came

372
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: before it. They were made for a relatively low amount

373
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: of money. We'll get into that review next. You're gonna

374
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: get into a spoiler free movie review. Now I want

375
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: to talk about Jackass Forever, which is playing now in theaters.

376
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: Movie that was on my most anticipated movies of two

377
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: I'll just say it did not disappoint. But before I

378
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: get into my full review, here's just a little bit

379
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: of Jackass Forever. You're still blowing people up. It's not

380
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: hard enough. An Jackass Texas rat Snake Minimus for insis

381
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: hits harder than any heavyweight. To Aaron, it was a lightweight.

382
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: That's not a lightweight. Then, even that trailer makes me smile. Still,

383
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about Jackass Forever, like, this is what I

384
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: want out of a comedy going experience in the movie theater,

385
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: because the Jackass movie is unlike any other comedy that

386
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: you'll see in theaters, because it's a movie that you

387
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: experience with strangers and can all collectively just laugh and

388
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: then wind it a movie. And I haven't laughed so

389
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: effortlessly in a movie in a very long time, and

390
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is because of the

391
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: format of a jackass movie, which is unlike anything you'll

392
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: really go to the movie theater to see, because it's

393
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: skit after skit. There's no following a plot line, there's

394
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: no act one at two, act three. It's just funny

395
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: moment after funny moments. Sometimes the bits are seconds long

396
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and that's it, And that's just a lot of creative

397
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: details that goes into something so juvenile, and it's just

398
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: funny that after so many years, some of the same

399
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: gags of like hitting somebody in the junk are still funny.

400
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: But in this movie they also step up the creativity

401
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot because they are now older. Johnny Knoxville is

402
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: fifty years old, Stevo is in his late forties, and

403
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: all the other original casts are right around that age group.

404
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: So some of the more physical stuff was a little

405
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: bit toned down a bit, not to say they didn't

406
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: really go for it in some scenes, but they brought

407
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: in some new cast of characters that are younger and

408
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: more vibrant and able to take on a little bit

409
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: more of the stuff that would result in broken bones.

410
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: Because what I learned from, you know, hearing them talk

411
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: about this movie, that it's a lot harder for their

412
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: bodies to recover from this, and there were a lot

413
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: more hospital visits in this Jackass movie than any other

414
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: Jackass movie given their age. So this movie was ninety

415
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: minutes of just fun. Like that's a plain and simple.

416
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a movie we all deserve

417
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: to watch right now, a movie where you can really

418
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: turn off your brain and just laugh. Now. Was it

419
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: my favorite Jackass movie? I don't think so. I think

420
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: for some reason, for me, a good Jackass movie also

421
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: has some heart to it, and I think for me,

422
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: Jackass three will always be that Jackass. The first one

423
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: has a special place in my heart because it was

424
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: the first time that they could be more themselves and

425
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: do the things they couldn't do on TV. I think

426
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: Jackass two has some of the best us and most

427
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: memorable bits. But the cool thing about Jackass Forever is

428
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: that they were one able to make another Jackass movie,

429
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: but too it just felt like going to hang out

430
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: with some friends you've had forever again. And I love

431
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: the sense of community that the Jackass movies have created,

432
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: and really the promotion around this is it really creates

433
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: almost a sense of community with a movie and with

434
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: things like Johnny Knoxville and Stevo we Man going into

435
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: movie theaters to surprise fans. It's a really like fan

436
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: driven movie, and they're able to connect with people unlike

437
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: any other movie franchise because I feel like they don't

438
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: really consider themselves movie stars, and it's the only kind

439
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: of franchise where it takes somebody like Cris Pontius or

440
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: Preston Lacey who are otherwise would it be in a

441
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: Hollywood movie and really allows them to be able to shine.

442
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: I guess for me being such a big Jackass fan

443
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, I did feel a little bit

444
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: like there was something missing from the movie, and maybe

445
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: it's because Bamar Jira wasn't in it after getting kicked

446
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: out of it. He really adds a lot to the

447
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: Jackass movie, which I realized afterwards. He isn't it for

448
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: a very brief moment. He doesn't get any kind of line.

449
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: But I guess there was a stunt that they did

450
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: that they wanted to include the movie that at the

451
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: time he was still a part of the crew, so

452
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: they didn't cut him out completely. And it's also the

453
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: first Jackass movie they've made since Ryan Dunn passed away. Tragically,

454
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: so it was either not having them too in the movie,

455
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: and then what they kind of did was show a

456
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: little bit more of danger errand in the movie and

457
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more of women, and I felt like,

458
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: for the first time I kind of saw what Jackass

459
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: could evolve into, because they are saying this will be

460
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: the last one they make, but that kind of saw

461
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Johnny Knoxville take a little bit more of like a

462
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: ring leader, which he has always had that role, but

463
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more of like the next movie could be.

464
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: Jackass presents like a movie that just Johnny Knoxville hosts,

465
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: and he has these newer, younger talents doing all the

466
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: crazy stunts, maybe revisiting some stunts they've done before, just

467
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: with new people. And although he really did risk a

468
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: lot of his health for this movie, he takes some

469
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: very hard blows to some really crazy things, proving that

470
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: he is the ultimate leader in this the ultimate Jackass.

471
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: But I did enjoy the new cast. I will say

472
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more of shocking gross humor than

473
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: maybe any other Jackass movie I've seen for that reason

474
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: of them leaning a little bit away from the physical comedy.

475
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: The other thing, I kind of feel like it missed

476
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: was the grand finale. While it was a little bit

477
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: more elaborate than some of the other final ending scenes

478
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: in the other movies, I just feel in the past

479
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: that's been a little bit grander, and I wonder if

480
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: it has a little bit to do with them making

481
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: this movie in during the pandemic. It's probably just harder

482
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: to make a Jackass movie when you have to deal

483
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: with all those protocols. They started talking this movie back

484
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, started and it got kicked off by

485
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: Johnny Knoxville and Stevo both ending up in the hospital

486
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: pretty early on. Then the pandemic hit shut him down

487
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: until about September. They were able to get the movie done,

488
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: was supposed to come out last year, and now finally

489
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: came out now this year. So I also did kind

490
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: of get that feeling too of it being a hard

491
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: movie to make given the circumstances. But I also think

492
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: they made up for that a little bit with some

493
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: of the celebrity cameos, which I all thought were pretty funny.

494
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: So I will say, if you're a fan of all

495
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: the other Jackass movies, you will go into this one.

496
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: You will laugh. Be aware. I feel like there's more

497
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: male nudity in this one than any other Jackass movies.

498
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: If you don't like things with fluids that come out

499
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: of animals vomiting or blood and people getting injured, probably

500
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: not the movie for you. But if you're going into

501
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: a Jackass movie, that's just something you have to expect

502
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: out of it. I would give it four out of

503
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: five broken ribs and in a world of people being

504
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: able to put up these ridiculous things on YouTube and TikTok,

505
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: I really loved how they were able to differentiate themselves

506
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: and show that they are the best at what they do.

507
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: Now tying this movie back into the theme, this movie

508
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: was made for ten million dollars, and all the other

509
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: Jackas movies were made for relatively low budgets. The first

510
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: one cost only five million dollars to make and went

511
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: on to win eighty million dollars at the box office.

512
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: Jacks two was made for a living point five million

513
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: and made eighty four point six million dollars, and then

514
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Jack Asked three was the most expensive one, which came

515
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: ten years after the original. That one cost twenty million dollars.

516
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that was due to the

517
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: use of three D technology for that movie, but it

518
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: also went on to make the most making one and

519
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: seventy one million dollars. I wish this movie all the

520
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: success at the box office because with that ten million

521
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: dollar budget really allows it to grow. And I hope

522
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: more movies come from the Jackass universe, whether it be

523
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: another Bad Grandpa or something like I was talking about earlier,

524
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: where it's Johnny Knoxville kind of being the ring leader

525
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: and just hosting a Jackass movie because from what I've read,

526
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: he can't take another blow to the head without risking

527
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: his life. So that's what I think about Jackass forever.

528
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the part of the podcast where

529
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: I break down a new movie trailer of a movie

530
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: coming to you very soon in theaters or on streaming.

531
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: It's time to head down to movie Mike Troi La Paul.

532
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: This week, I want to talk about Texas Chainsaw Massacre,

533
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: yet another reboot of the Texas Chainsaw franchise. This one

534
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: is coming out on Netflix on February. Before I get

535
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: into what I think about this movie, here's just a

536
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: little bit of the trailer. Fifty years I've been waiting

537
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: for this night, just to see him again, who leather Face,

538
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: try anything in your cancel bro. Oh. So I was

539
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: excited about this movie until I saw this new trailer

540
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: which made it look very cheesy, very formulaic. And maybe

541
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: it was that last line of everybody taking pictures with

542
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: their phones of leather Face and like a bus and

543
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: the guy says, hey, you do anything, we get canceled.

544
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: I feel like there was a very cringe line for

545
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: this movie and already kind of took me out of

546
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: what I thought this movie could be. The other thing,

547
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like it's following the formula of

548
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: bringing back somebody who you know, had to deal with

549
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: leather Face twenty years ago, and now it being the

550
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: ultimate showdown between the two, and it's almost exactly the

551
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: plot of Halloween Kills and with them rebooting Scream, with

552
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: them rebooting Chucky into a you know, a series. Now,

553
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: with Texas Chainsaw now doing this movie on Netflix, I

554
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: feel like it's only a matter of time before we

555
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: get another Friday the thirteenth and then another Nightmare on

556
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: Elm Street. The other thing I don't particularly love about

557
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: this is every Texas Chainsaw movie has oddly unique title

558
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: and it doesn't really make any sense of what film

559
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: happens when the original one is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,

560
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: and then there's the part two. But then you have

561
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which came out in two thousand

562
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: and three, which I thought was still a really good movie,

563
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: and then you just have Texas Chainsaw from leather Face

564
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: in sev So a lot of these have been hid

565
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: and miss But with all those factors, when you go

566
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: into a movie like Texas Chainsaw, you only want to

567
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: see one thing is leather Face. Tearing people at a

568
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: stress with a chainsaw doesn't really take a whole lot

569
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: of thought to figure out. But the thing that I

570
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: think will make this the hardest movie to watch is

571
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: the actual mask and the way leather Face looks in

572
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: this movie. Like I thought it was a parody. I

573
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: didn't realize that was watching the Texas Chainsaw trailer because

574
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: it didn't even look like leather Face. I guess if

575
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: you're rebooting something this amount of times, you have to

576
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: give it a totally different look. But I kind of

577
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's going to take me out of wanting

578
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: to see this movie altogether. But if you want to

579
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: check that out, it hits Netflix on February. All right,

580
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: and that'll do it for this week's episode. But before

581
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: I hop out of here, every single week I give

582
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: a listener shout out at this part of the podcast.

583

589
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: shout out goes to at Halo Barbie two on Instagram,

590
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: a k A. Olivia. She posted a picture and tagged

591
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: me in her Instagram story of her listening to the

592
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: podcast on her iPhone and said, always listen to Mike

593
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Petro's podcast when I get ready in the morning. Finally

594
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: saw Spider Man still listening to this one first, then

595
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: the new one for Monday. So she was listening to

596
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: the spoiler version that I put out of Spider Man

597
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: No Way Home. So if you had a chance to

598
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: watch Spider Man now as it's about to cross the

599
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: two billion dollar mark at the box office, and if

600
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: you haven't listened to that episode yet, you can go

601
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: back and listen to all the spoilers that I talked

602
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: about in that episode. It's a very rare thing I do,

603
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: and with a movie as big as Spider Man, I

604
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: had to do one. So thanks Olivia for tagging me

605
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: in your Instagram story. That's probably the easiest way to

606
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: get a listener shout out because I love to repost

607
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,800
