00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,520

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: I said, you're recording this episode, and it's it's kind

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: of like what I'm on teams meeting and I can't

5
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: stop staring at myself and the.

6
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Good I look.

7
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: No usually I'm like, oh, this is not good lighting.

8
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: I had to get my work to order me a

9
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: new camera because previously I bought myself a webcam for

10
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: at home and it was just like one of the

11
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: cheap ones.

12
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: Way zoomed in, way zoomed in, and.

13
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: I was like, you can see every pore on my face.

14
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: And I take good care of my skin, but I

15
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: was like, this is too up close and personal, Like

16
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: if I have my hair, like some days I wear

17
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: my hair in a clip, and I just looked like

18
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: a giant like egghead.

19
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: On most calls, you ever get a glimpse of yourself

20
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: in the mirror and it totally ruins your day?

21
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Or like when you flip a photo. I hate

22
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 2: when you flip the folk.

23
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a good side, yeah, but then when

24
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: you flip a good side for me side barely acceptable.

25
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: I have a lot of dental issues, so shout out

26
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: to all the people in the comments want to know

27
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: when I get my braces off. There are a lot

28
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: of stuff going on.

29
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: We'd also love time.

30
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: I would love to know too, But I've had teeth

31
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: taken out because they were so jammed and in this

32
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: process now for a long time. So yes, I am

33
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: aware that I still have braces, but I have a

34
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: side where they took out a couple of teeth to

35
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: give other teeth room to grow, and they have they

36
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: have pulled, and they have pulled so far because of

37
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: these braces for so long. There's space now to put

38
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: in some implants. But I don't like pictures from that

39
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: side because it just looks like a big gap or.

40
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: No, or when we take a selfie and you want

41
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: the writing to be the exact way, I hate it

42
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: on you flipp it because I don't like how.

43
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't like backwards writing and photos.

44
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 2: I don't like how I look when you flip the photo.

45
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: You like grati the way.

46
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: I think it's very nice right right leg that I have.

47
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: That was the other thing I was gonna say. You

48
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: ever look in the mirror and see some grays and

49
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: you're like, oh.

50
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: Do I I don't even have to look in the mirror.

51
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: Have we told the story on this podcast before.

52
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've told it before.

53
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: Should we tell it again?

54
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: No, we're good.

55
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: I think we should tell again.

56
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: That's not only not like getting a haircut now, is

57
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: because they get rid of some of the grays.

58
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: So four years ago, during the pandemic, you know, couldn't

59
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: get my hair done. I am a natural brunette, but

60
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: it's like a very mousey brown and I don't like it.

61
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: So we are walking back in the house. We've been

62
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: spending time on the back patio, and you're looking at

63
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: me this weird look, and I think it's about to

64
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: be one of those sweet moments where you're like, I'm

65
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: just looking at you and thinking about how much I

66
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: love you. And then we're no longer separated by the

67
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: pandemic and I'm like what, And you're like, Oh, it's

68
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: just in this light you can see some of your grays.

69
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, in this lake, can you see

70
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: your life flash before your eyes? And I did, and

71
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: I'm aware. I also had a dermatologist once who when

72
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: she was doing a scalp check, she said, do the

73
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: people in your family gray early? Because you have more

74
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: grays and I was like, lady, I've had gray since

75
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: I was eighteen. I'm a high stress individual. She then

76
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: also had me pull down my mask, and in COVID

77
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: times she just goes rosetia pull that back up. I

78
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: did leave crying from that appointment, but I am distracted

79
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: because I am due to get the grays covered. So

80
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: if anyone's watching this on YouTube, please don't tell us

81
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: that he still has braces.

82
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: We know I'm aware and that.

83
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 2: I have great hair because I'm also aware.

84
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,960

Speaker 3: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast.

98
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

99
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

100
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with glasses.

101
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: From the Nashville Podcast Network, this is Movie Mike's movie podcast.

102
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. Movies of the Month for November.

103
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: What was the best thing we watched? In your opinion?

104
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: As if you've enough to ask, the green lights behind

105
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: my head didn't tell you it is Wicked.

106
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Is it a movie that you've been thinking about every

107
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: day since? Because that is my sign of Oh, that

108
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: was a good movie.

109
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: I think about it. I watched tiktoks about it. The

110
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: soundtrack comes up on Spotify. I said that weird. Oh,

111
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, shuffle on Spotify.

112
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Suffle Spotify and you got the internet radio on your phone.

113
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: Popular has been coming on Gracy Abrams Radio. So I

114
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: have been listening to Popular.

115
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: So is it the popular from the movie or the

116
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: popular from the musical?

117
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: The movie? You know? I think about holding space for

118
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: the lyrics of define gravity about once a day. I

119
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: want to go see it again. I tell other people

120
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: to go see it. I ask people if they've seen it, so, yeah,

121
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: it does consume a lot of my brain power.

122
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: That is something I've felt. I've rarely leave a movie

123
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: and think about it so much that I want to

124
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: go see it again. And I do want to go

125
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: see this movie again. And it is a two hour

126
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty almost two and a half hour movie to forty

127
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: ten minutes of credits. Do you know I timed that movie?

128
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: It timed out to two thirty.

129
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: He does time every month. Yeah, time a lot of suff.

130
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for the most part, when you see a movie,

131
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: time you can cut off ten minutes. But the problem is, oh,

132
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: it never starts on that time, and oh I hate

133
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: it for some people who don't know that. And you

134
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: get there so early because at least at Regal it's

135
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Now they do ten minutes of just raw

136
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: commercials and then twenty minutes of previews.

137
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: It's weird the commercials.

138
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I'm already paying to go see a movie

139
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: in theaters. I don't need to see normal commercials. I

140
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: feel like that is like, why are we doing this?

141
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: That's gonna take somebody who doesn't come to the movies

142
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: that often and kind of ruin that experience. I don't

143
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: want to be advertised to here the movies. Yeah, that's fine,

144
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: more trailers so you come back and watch another movie.

145
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: But I don't want to see a commercial for a

146
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: car when I'm at the movies. But I have really

147
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: been wanting to go see Wicked again because I feel

148
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of details now that I missed,

149
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and like you mentioned, seeing things on TikTok about it

150
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: and seeing more people dive into it. I still haven't

151
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: been exposed to any spoilers.

152
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: It's not again it's spoilers, but I don't want to know.

153
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: For twenty one.

154
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Years, I know, but at this point of my life,

155
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: I do not want to know what is going to

156
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: happen in part two.

157
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: But what if we go to New York and we

158
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: see it on Broadway.

159
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: That's different because I feel they're gonna make the movie

160
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: a little bit different from the musical, and I feel

161
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: like if people have seen the musical before, you're probably

162
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: it's like reading the book. You know they're gonna have

163
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: some differences between the two, and I think that's a

164
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: little bit more fun.

165
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: Okay, But I have seen people reading the Wicked book,

166
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: and if anyone's trying to read it. It is a

167
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: very dark book. It's i've heard dark explicit. It's not

168
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: like whimsical, so be warned.

169
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes into some pretty like interesting details about

170
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: the boat that I don't think a kid would want

171
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: to read.

172
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't pick up the Wicked Book thinking you're about

173
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: to read something fun.

174
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I did go back and I rewatched The Wizard of

175
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Oz when last weekend without me. I'll rewatch it again.

176
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: I'll watch that movie every day. I love it. I

177
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: like Saturday morning, I just started it.

178
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: It's so rude.

179
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 4: How is it rude watching a movie we both seen.

180
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: It's not like I rewatched it. Watch it and I'll

181
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: rewatch it again. And we've both already seen it. It's

182
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: not like we were I started a show without you.

183
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: It's to rewatch a movie on Saturday morning when you

184
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: know I sleep.

185
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: I watched like two other movies in that time, so

186
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, i'll watch this one now. It's

187
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: surprisingly shorter than I remember. I mean it's like an

188
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: hour and a half, so it's a quick watch. But

189
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I did some research on that. Because Warner Brothers owns

190
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: the rights to Wizard of Oz and it's not public

191
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: domain until twenty thirty five, so that leads me to

192
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: believe that they are building up towards remaking The Wizard

193
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: of Oz because once it's public domain, it's free game

194
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: for people to make it. I don't know if you

195
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: can rebuy the rights to have it reset for another

196
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: one hundred years. But who do you think should play

197
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Dorothy in a remaking of the Wizard of Oz? I

198
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: started thinking about that, like who kind of fits.

199
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Advance warning about thinking about this, She'd put me on

200
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: the spot right now.

201
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like you would have somebody in mind

202
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: because you really don't have to be I mean, Judy

203
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Garland could sing, but I almost feel at this point

204
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: you don't have to be a singer you could have

205
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: because I think that's kind of hard to find somebody

206
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: at the level of like Carpenter to Herbie Dorothy dire

207
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: hair Brown. I was thinking like a Daisy Ridley, Like

208
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: you're just.

209
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: Gonna pick one of the Daisies for everything right now, Jones.

210
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Jones, I just feel like you need somebody who already

211
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: has like the hair.

212
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: But I don't. I don't see Daisy Ridley in a

213
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: whimsical musical.

214
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Maybe she's a little bit too old for that role.

215
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Daisy Edgar Jones. I could, yeah, actually, because when she

216
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: was doing the Twisters press tour, everyone's like, what's one

217
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: thing people don't know about you? And she's like, I'm

218
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: quite silly, and she's like in her mid twenties. I

219
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: can see Daisy ugar Jones.

220
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: I'll go with my other Daisy, my backup Basy.

221
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Which we did rewatch Twisters. Some things giving that we.

222
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Did and we blew up the air mattress and rewatched

223
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: that movie.

224
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: Great, great experience. Sometimes being an adults fun, Like just

225
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: blow up the air mattress for mad a cookie cake.

226
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's nobody who can tell you not to. That

227
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: was always something I wanted to do as a kid,

228
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: like blow up an air mattress or create like a

229
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: pillow for it and watch movies with in. I never

230
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: did it. Now I've done it. It's fun.

231
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: It's great.

232
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: My best of the month for.

233
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't done talking about Wicked. Oh you got more'n

234
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: you didn't even let me finish. You sidetracked on the

235
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: remaking of the Wizard of Us. Okay, even if and

236
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: I we did the review. I forgot already. We did

237
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: that after we saw it. Even if you're not a

238
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: musical person a theater person, go see it. It's so

239
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: well done. I know people are like, this pressed tour

240
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: they've done is wild, and I do admit it is

241
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: strange to watch them cry in every interview, but you

242
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: know what, they're proud of their work. It was an experience,

243
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: and I think they both should be proud of it

244
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: because they're both phenomenal in it. And I think it's

245
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: just so good. And even if you're like, wow, two

246
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: and a half hours, it doesn't feel like it and

247
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: like another movie we're gonna talk about. So yeah, go

248
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: see Wicked.

249
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Good now, Yes, all right? For my best of the month,

250
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm going with A Real Pain, which was a story

251
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: with Kieran Colkin.

252
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: You said it right this time?

253
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: Okay, making sure guess thee Eisenberg and I feel that

254
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: movie really hit me on an emotional level that I

255
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: wasn't quite expecting.

256
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: TikTok about that made me really sad.

257
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: That I feel like Jesse Eisenberg's character in the movie. Yeah,

258
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: why to make you said.

259
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: Because you looked sad while talking.

260
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how emotional I was you looked.

261
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: So sad you came home, and I was like, do

262
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: you need a hug?

263
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, why, See, sometimes when I do reviews,

264
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: I just like I have to go off raw emotion.

265
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: That is how I based a lot of my reviews.

266
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: And that one we left the theater and I felt

267
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: weird that something was so oddly specific to me in

268
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: a movie about just like my personality and stuff I've

269
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: been like dealing with, like my whole life. And I

270
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: think when I sat down to record that review, I

271
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: was like, this is gonna kind of feel like a

272
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: therapy session because it's stuff i've I mean, I've talked

273
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: to you about that, and maybe not in that explicit way,

274
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: just because I just thought that was something that only

275
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: I dealt with. But seeing somebody else go through that,

276
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: of just that feeling of like wanting to be more outgoing,

277
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: wanting to connect with people more, and I was like, man,

278
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: this movie just hit me. And I didn't know how.

279
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what that movie was going to

280
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: be about. About their entire journey of like being close

281
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: and then kind of being estranged, going back for a

282
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: really dark reason after their grandma died and then you

283
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: have all the other emotions mixed in with why they

284
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: are there going to that concentration camp, and just like, man,

285
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: where's this movie going. But there's also like some fun

286
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: moments in it, some really good bonding moments, and I

287
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: think character yeah, and it's yeah, like a really unique

288
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: just blend of people. And it doesn't feel like a

289
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: traditional movie in the sense that it's not like a

290
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: this happens, therefore, this happens, Therefore this happens, here's the

291
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: rising act, here's the fault. It doesn't really follow that.

292
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: It just felt like a movie about life. And I

293
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: enjoy those movies every now and then. It's a nice

294
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: little slice of life that you go through something from

295
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: beginning to end. It's not so much that you follow

296
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: this character's journey and they accomplishing amazing. It's just like

297
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: you feel all these things. That was my best What

298
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: what did you rate Wicked Again? You gave it a

299
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: five out of five?

300
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: I think so.

301
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: I think you gave it a five out of five

302
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: when we did it, because I gave it a four

303
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: point five out of five because I was split into

304
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: two for a real pain. I gave that one a

305
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: four point five out of five and so forth. For

306
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: the year, I have not given out a five out

307
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: of five.

308
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: I loved a real pain. I would also say, like

309
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: you would categorize me, you knowing me as someone who's outgoing.

310
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: I'm an introvert, but I can strike up a conversation.

311
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 2: I can make friends at the post office.

312
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: I think that. I mean, that's why you make me better,

313
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: is because you are the one who can talk to

314
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: people and connect with people, and you make me more

315
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: normal because without you, I'm just like the isolated. Here's

316
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: this dude not saying.

317
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: Anything, but I will say I once had a boss.

318
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: Among all the other insults she gave me, she told

319
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: me I was socially awkward.

320
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: That is bizarre.

321
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying so, like even someone saw me

322
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: as that, So it's like we all have a little

323
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: bit of socially awkwardness in us.

324
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that all perspective?

325
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: The other the other insult she gave me that I

326
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: loved it was a like informal setting, so I could

327
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: wear like shorts and a T shirt in the summer.

328
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: I wore a dress one time and she was like, Oh,

329
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: you're so much skinnier when you're not hiding behind pants

330
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: and shorts, and I was like, oh, little backhanded compliment there, Yeah,

331
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: she'll stop me. I'm socially awkward.

332
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah that's bizarre. That's not true whatsoever. I'm socially awkward.

333
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: Not as much as you think. You're just in your

334
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: head about it. Yeah, I guess so less socially awkward

335
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: than you think. You just when you are thinking, you're overthinking.

336
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: So you just need to stop thinking.

337
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Just live inside that head though. All right, for the

338
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: worst of November, what do you have?

339
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: Are you not entertained? No? I was not entertained by

340
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Gladiator too.

341
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to do this in the movie review

342
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: coming up, so I will say nothing and I will

343
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: let you go why you hated?

344
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Why want to give any spoilers, But there was just

345
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: some really stupid CGI. I don't love movies from that

346
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: time period.

347
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: Pieces technique over here Street just make less money.

348
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like bloody Gore. I'm not big into

349
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: like a severed.

350
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: Head, which is kind of really Scott's calling card.

351
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: And it's the same didn't Napoleon?

352
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you didn't like it. It's over over the

353
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: top blood and guts and like the real visceral sound

354
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: of like a blade going in.

355
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: And I watch medical shows. I watch all those things.

356
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: So it's the violence, is it the violence more so

357
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: than the gore.

358
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: It's the violence, yeah.

359
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: Because I've seen some of the medical shows you watch

360
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: there's like blood loosing out where I was surprised. I'm like, hey,

361
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: that's cool, that doesn't bother. I didn't know you liked

362
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: this stuff.

363
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: It's like someone coming at someone in like the slicing.

364
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: Of the head so hated Game of Thrones.

365
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: Or like the bayonet and then they pull it out

366
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: and the sound effect. Yeah, I just wasn't into that.

367
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: The plotline was kind of like up down, up down,

368
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: so we had something coming and then it's like I

369
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: could have seen that from a mile away. Yeah. The

370
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Joseph Quinn's eye makeup, the smoke ye really intense.

371
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean that was distracting his paleness too.

372
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: He was like.

373
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: A history thing right where they would like put makeup

374
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: on to make themselves pale because that showed you had

375
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: money or something.

376
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were probably using like real like things

377
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: of charcoal paint that on. Yeah. I wasn't. I didn't

378
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: go into it thinking I was gonna love it. But

379
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: I was like, we got to see all the Blockbusters,

380
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: so I went to see it.

381
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Did you at least like Denzel Washington's character or he

382
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: is acting?

383
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: I liked Paul Mescal. Yeah, I thought Paul Mascal was great.

384
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Do you think he was convincing?

385
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very attractive, very in shape for that movie.

386
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: For my worst of November, I am going to say

387
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: here with Tom Hanks speaking of bad CGI, that was

388
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: some bad special effects with They had tod age him

389
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: to be a teenager, and I think the d aging

390
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: just isn't quite there yet.

391
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe if you're deaging someone a little younger, No

392
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: disrespect mister Hanks, big fan, lovely man in person.

393
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: To go from being in your late sixties to being

394
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: a teenagers off like that just doesn't look very good.

395
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: He looked like his character did in the Polar Express,

396
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: which same director, by the way, Roberts and Mexis. But

397
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: he looked like that.

398
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: That's when we haven't rewatched at Christmas time in any

399
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: of the years Polar Express, we've never rewatched them.

400
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: I think I've only seen it maybe once. That was

401
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: when that technology was so that type of three D

402
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: animation they use was so new that it looks so

403
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: bad for the I mean for now. Maybe at the

404
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: time it looked good. But that used to be my

405
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: favorite thing as a kid. I think in like first

406
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: or second grade, we would read the book and we'd

407
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: all get to dress and pajamas to school. That was

408
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: my favorite. I remember us all going down the hall

409
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: in our pj's, and I think at that time I

410
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: was still into Thomas the Tank Engine, so I had

411
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: like Thomas the Tank Engine slippers, or at least kept

412
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: him FM kindergarten. If it was first grade, you.

413
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: Were in Thomas the tank Engine phase for a while.

414
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: Your mom has stories about that.

415
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: That was my jam I couldn't leave the house without

416
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: watching it.

417
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: No, your mom always talks about how she'd be like,

418
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: all right, Mike, you have to go to the grocery store,

419
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: and you'd be like, no.

420
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: No, I'm not going. I'm gonna but yes. Aside from

421
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: the CGI, it was just the most mid movie I've

422
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: seen all year, for the level of talent on the

423
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: acting side and for the level of talent behind the camera,

424
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: And it didn't really shape up until the end of

425
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: the movie, and by then it was just kind of late,

426
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: and I know you wanted to see that movie and

427
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: you were like, Oh, you're gonna see without me.

428
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: To be really honest, I kept forgetting the title of it.

429
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: So it's a horrible title.

430
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: You said you were seeing here. I was in Denver

431
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: that weekend. I was just like a horror movie and

432
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, it's that one. It was one

433
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: of those I just And then the other night my

434
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: mom texted me and she's like, I'm watching here, same thing.

435
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: I was like, scary movie, and then she was like

436
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: love Tom Hanks and I was like, oh that movie.

437
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a bad title forgetting that.

438
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: That was the title of it a homonym. So it's

439
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: like is it here like you can listen, or is

440
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: it here like right here, oh, big vocapboard. I think

441
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: I remember that from like a Doctor SEUs book or something.

442
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: It all takes place in the same piece of land

443
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: over his like starting back from like the dinosaur age

444
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: all the way till like twenty twenty past.

445
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: I think it ends in dinosaur age.

446
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, like back in like it just shows like a

447
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: sliver of land. You see dinosaur roaming the earth, and

448
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: then you see like the Revolutionary War all that stuff,

449
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: and then it all just keeps going, stays the same

450
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: camera angle the entire time, which was like the big like,

451
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: oh this is interesting. It's gonna force you to look

452
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: at just right here, and they kept emphasizing we grew

453
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: up here, we did all this stuff here, it all

454
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: happened here, but there was all this backstory that it

455
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: was just kind of pointless, like showing you these different

456
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: plot lines of these different people who lived on the

457
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: same plot of land that really went nowhere, that had

458
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: no emotional development, and it was just like, I, why

459
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: am I here? Why am I playing in this theater? And

460
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: that was also one where I got tickets kind of later,

461
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: so I had to sit it like the very top row,

462
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: and I was like all the way behind, and I

463
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not enjoying this whatsoever.

464
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't sit through that one.

465
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: So that is my worst of the month. The other

466
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: movies we watched here was the first one So a

467

Speaker 1: it's World War two, duh, and you watch any movie

471
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: world War Two, any TV show, read any book?

472
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: Yes.

473
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: I think the issue I had when it comes to

474
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: TV shows and movies about it is they always kind

475
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: of feel the same because it's always sad. And this one,

476
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's World War two, it's going to

477
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: be sad, but it's not the sad you're expecting. And

478
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: it's because it follows this kid and his journey of

479
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: just trying to get back home and be reunited with

480
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: his mom. Was this movie Was it based on a

481
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: true story?

482
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if their story was true, but parents

483
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: in London sending their kids like to the countryside of

484
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: Europe is true. They would send a lot of them

485
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: to America and they live with the cohost families spread

486
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: several books about.

487
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: That, so yeah, inspired by true events, yes, which it

488
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: works the same way. It doesn't take anything away from

489
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: the emotional impact of it.

490
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's it's a little unbelievable, so I don't feel.

491
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's true.

492
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of stories that'll come out of

493
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: World War Two of people doing things, and you're like,

494
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: you will believe all the stories I read about people

495
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: that lived in like Poland and lived in the literal

496
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: Sewers didn't think that was true, but it is.

497
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cinematic. I really enjoyed that one.

498
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: Socialonem was great.

499
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: That one's on Apple TV Plus so you can watch

500
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: that one for free. So glad day or two. We

501
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: saw the Christmas movie Our Little Secret. Should we wait

502
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: to talk about Christmas movies for another episode?

503
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: I can just say I loved it, you loved it.

504
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: It was cute. It was the best one Netflix has

505
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: done so far this year. I have not watched the

506
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: one where Chad Michael Murray is an exotic dancer Dnswer. Yeah,

507
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: I think I've heard he's a one of my one

508
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: of my friends at work called it a clean stripper.

509
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: I can't take Chad Michael Murray seriously in the year

510
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, two thousand and three. Is Lucas Scott

511
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: sure heart Throb twenty twenty four when he's like still

512
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 2: trying to be relevant, it's so cringey.

513
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw him do that one interview where he's like,

514
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: name one actor who has never fallen off, like every

515
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: actor falls off at some point, and you could just

516
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: tell it was coming from like a very emotional place

517
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: that he struggles with and I was like, well, Leonardo

518
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: DiCaprio has never fallen off, Robert de Niro, Jennifer la

519
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: and Washington. Yeah, there's a lot of actors friendly Cooper,

520
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: so I just feel like he was like, uh, gonna

521
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: make something up.

522
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed our little secret. Lindsay Lohan greatest comeback

523
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: of all time. I love it for her. I enjoyed it.

524
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: I do want to play a game with everybody listening

525
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: right now, see if you can figure out this riddle.

526
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: We went to a movie and there was these people

527
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: sitting next to us. It was a group of guys

528
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: and they had their tickets and they were seated, you know,

529
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: they had drinks and everything. This other couple comes up

530
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, you're in our seats. And they're like, well,

531
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: let's figure this thing out. They both pull out their

532
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: phones and they both say, no, these are our seats.

533
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: We have D five and six. We have D five

534
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: and six.

535
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: The group of guys had four through six, and then

536
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: this couple is claiming they had five and six.

537
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: So what you think happened here? As the listener, what

538
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: was the issue here? Who was in the right and

539
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: who was in the wrong. It turns out, initially I

540
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: would think this has happened to me us before. And

541
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: what happened? They had the wrong theater, So that's what

542
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: I thought initially, like they were supposed to be at

543
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: a different regal and this day I figured it out, Yes,

544
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: in this case, same theater. They looked at the ticket again, Oh,

545
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: this is the theater. We're at the same one. Okay.

546
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Then I thought, maybe they have the wrong time. We

547
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: were at a seven to twenty five showing. Maybe they

548
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: had picked a different time and got there at the

549
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: wrong time. Not the case, same time on the ticket,

550
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: seven to twenty five, same seats, same theater.

551
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: And by theater you mean like the specific regal, not

552
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 2: the auditorium screen.

553
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the next thing. Could it be a

554
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: different screen? Nope, screen sixteen. We're here at the same time.

555
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: What do you think was the issue here? What do

556
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: you think happened? And the.

557
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: Do do do?

558
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: Do?

559
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: I would be so good at Final Jeopardy? Actually no,

560
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: that's the hardest gan to be terrible at it?

561
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: Can I say?

562
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: And the answer is Kelsey, what happened?

563
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: They bought tickets for the wrong day the wrong day?

564
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: Because it was blowing my mind too.

565
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: I figured it out quick.

566
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: We're like right, same seat, same time. I thought it

567
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: had to be they went to the wrong regal, which

568
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: is I've seen that happen before, Like, oh, I'm with

569
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: the one across town.

570
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: I got out the regal app and I was like

571
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: pretending that's what I did. We learnt tickets and I

572
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 2: was like, okay, next day, and I was like, ooh,

573
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: seats five and six taken for tomorrow.

574
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: They got the wrong date.

575
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 2: So then there was an awkward thing where they walked

576
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: out they were gonna go like check with someone, and

577
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: then the guy that had the seats was also walking out,

578
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: and the girl kind turns out and she was like, oh,

579
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: I didn't mean you had to come with us, and

580
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: the guy was like, I'm not, I'm going to the bath.

581
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: So then they later came back in and they had

582
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: to seat sit in seats in the second row because

583
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: they definitely were there for the wrong day.

584
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: Their next definitely hurt Buddy in the night acci that

585
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: was their ingladiator, though another thing happened this is an game,

586
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: but during Mawana. Well, first of all, when we got

587
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: in there, the lights were bright. They didn't turn down

588
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: the main lights, which it just felt like we were

589
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: in like a big auditorial with a lot of families

590
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: that I felt very exposed. It's weird the level of

591
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: comfort the darkness brings in.

592
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: Don't want to see how old those seats are. Yeah,

593
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: I love to live in obliviousness. That was seeing an airplane.

594
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: It was like pulling back the curtain. And initially I

595
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: thought I was like, oh, no, I sure hope they

596
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: turned on the lights by the time you get here,

597
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be more tofied at these seats.

598
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: They did not.

599
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: They did not. The movie was about to start.

600
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: I could tell kids were are the lights on?

601
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: And I could tell we were in a theater where

602
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: maybe families don't come as often as we do. I

603
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people go as often as

604
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: we do. And I knew the movie was about to

605
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: start and the lights should have been down by this point,

606
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: because they're usually down and then they go down further

607
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: once the movie starts. So I went to go tell

608
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: them that the lights were still up. And now I

609
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: know where the light switches, so if ever it happens again,

610
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: I could just go turn them off myself. But then

611
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: what happened again towards the end of the movie, the

612
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: lights on the back on and like one of the

613
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: most emotional parts, like all right, movies over it did

614
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: and I see you have.

615
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: Another note too. We need to talk about your other

616
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: note about it?

617
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was getting to that one next. But

618
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: that was just another thing. If ever the lights come

619
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: on into the theater, just don't look around, Just immediately

620
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: get up and go find an employee because you did

621
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: not want to see the condition of the seats.

622
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: You don't, you really don't.

623
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: The other issue I had this was when we went

624
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: to go see Gladiator. I made the mistake of raw

625
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: dogging a sweatshirt, meaning I did not wear a T

626
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: shirt underneath, because right now we're in wintertime is so

627
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: cold and it's cold and for the most part, movie

628
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: theaters are cold.

629
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: But they had cranked the heat that night.

630
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: But for some reason, this theater was like it was

631
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: hot a hot box. It's like they turned off the ac,

632
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: turn off the fans, and turned on the heater. So

633
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: I went into it thinking that we were going to

634
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: be in a nice, cool theater. I was like, oh,

635
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: maybe I'll just be nice and cozy, and my my

636
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: hoodie I'll put my pockets in there, I'll put my

637
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: snack in there. And it was so hot, and I

638
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't have a T shirt on underneath, so I spent

639
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: the entire movie sweating.

640
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah you were. You were having a rough time.

641
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: And now it's so uncomfortable because before I'd done the

642
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: opposite of regretting that breaking a sweater and I've been

643
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: freezing in movies. I think it's much worse not wearing

644
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: a shirt underneath than being stuck.

645
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: Hot, Haven't I tall? You layer?

646
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just felt so confident in just not

647
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: wearing a shirt underneath.

648
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: So layer, always layer on an airplane, layer at the movie.

649
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: I just like the feeling of just having a sweater on.

650
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: It just feels more comfortable to me. It depends on

651
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: the interior fabric. It feels like I'm wearing like a blanket,

652
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: just straight on. So a lesson.

653
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: She didn't wear your Spiderman blanket, you'd have been a

654
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: real hot died. Speaking of Spiderman blanket, you walked out

655
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: of our bedroom earlier, and we have like a so

656
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: my desk is in our living room because someone gets

657
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: the office in the list.

658
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: Tell your version of the story.

659
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: So the blanket basket for the living room is next

660
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: to my desk, and your Spider Man hoodie had fallen

661
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: out of it earlier, so just picked it up in

662
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: through back and I'm sitting at my desk typing, working

663
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: and you you're like, do you wear my Spider Man hoodie?

664
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

665
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: I was like, excuse me, and you're like, it's moved,

666
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: and I said, that's what you noticed has been moved

667
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: in this house. That's what you notice is out of place.

668
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: It's never the trash by the door that needs to

669
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: be taken out. It's the spider Man hoodie that is

670
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: off by like a centimeter.

671
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: You wore it.

672
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: I didn't wear it. I didn't.

673
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: You're like, I want to know what this feels like.

674
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: No, Nope, because you always put your feet in it.

675
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 2: I don't want to.

676
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: Wear it's an all body blanket.

677
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not wearing anything that your feet of touch.

678
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: But that is a lesson. Never a raw dog a

679
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: sweatshirt to a movie.

680
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: Please stop saying around because you.

681
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Will have a bad time. We've been going a while now,

682
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: but we can do our TV shows of the month?

683
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: Was your favorite TV show?

684
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what I watched this month, I'll

685
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: go for We're also gone. Yeah, it was gone for

686
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: two weekends.

687
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: We crammed everything in. Towards the end of November.

688
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: I watched The Diplomat season two on Netflix.

689
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: Do you like that?

690
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: I did. It's really hard though, And I told you

691
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: I was gonna bring this up, so about The Diplomat too,

692
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: and about this show on Apple TV. Streaming services have

693
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: to stop putting two plus years in between seasons. I

694
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: don't know what happened anymore. The amount of TV and

695
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: books I read season one out of my head, gone minute,

696
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm done watching it. Gone, Like Apple is putting back

697
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: out that show's surface. I was like, sounds familiar. It's

698
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: coming out in February twenty twenty five. It aired July

699
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: through September of twenty twenty two. We've got to stop

700
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: putting such a long period of time, or your recap

701
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: episode needs to be an hour long. Yeah, I don't

702
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: know what happened, thank you.

703
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: That is an issue. I think that's also streaming services.

704
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, TV shows are so expensive to make, and

705
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: they don't really make a whole lot of money like

706
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: movies do. Like instantly a movie comes out. It can

707
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: make money, but I just feel like overall streaming services

708
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: are hurting financially, so I think I mean, it's also

709
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: less episodes too. If you think about a lot of

710
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: those episodes now or seasons or eight ten episodes maybe.

711
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: Listen, Virgin River comes out once a year on Netflix.

712
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: Some shows can do it ten episodes. It does come

713
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: out in two weeks, so I don't clear my calendar

714
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: for that.

715
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: For my best TV show in the month, it was

716
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: easily The Penguin. If I had to rate a TV show,

717
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: I was it close to a five out of five

718
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: because at moments it had you rooting for the penguin

719
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: and you forget that he's a villain, and by the

720
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: end of it, it reminds you, oh, he's a villain.

721
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: And I think I love it so much because I

722
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: did The Batman with Robert Pattinson was like one of

723
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: my favorite portrayals of the character. And now I cannot

724
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: wait to see how this ties into the Batman two,

725
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: which I think it's good. Like, I don't think they're

726
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna put anything out in between that because Batman two

727
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: is supposed to come out in twenty twenty six, so

728
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: far away. Again with movies too. It takes so long,

729
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: but these things are so freaking expensive. But yeah, that

730
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: was my favorite show. And Diane, you got a book.

731
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: Ye, I don't remember what I read this month. Let's see,

732
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: let's go to my We will be doing my yearly

733
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: best books. But I will do a plug for this now.

734
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 2: So I'm using this new reading app called story Graph.

735
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: It's great, created by a woman. It has like much

736
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: better functionality. You can rate by quarter stars, so you

737
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: can give like a four point two five, a four

738
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: point five, a four point seven five, whereas on Goodreads

739
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: you can only give something whole stars, and a four

740
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: is very different from four point seven five. But then

741
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: I have to read a four point seven five of five,

742
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: and I don't mean that it's really a five because

743
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: a five is outstanding. So story Graph great. They also

744
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: create these cool little like graphics and charts for you

745
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: of like the different books you read, by the genre,

746
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: the page number, the pace of books.

747
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: Story Graph do we put in the episode notes?

748
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: Should? It's amazing? Okay, what did I read this month? Okay?

749
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with The Brier Club by Kate Quinn

750
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: historical fiction, pre visual but not about World War Two.

751
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: It is post World War two in like the McCarthy era,

752
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: so when they were really worried about communism in the

753
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: United States. Kate Quinn is one of my favorite historical

754
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: fiction writers, and it's about this group of women that

755
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: lives in like the Sporting House, and how their stories

756
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: tied to each other. And it takes you through. It's

757
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: almost kind of like a mystery at the beginning, and

758
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: then you go back and like each woman has a

759
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: chapter detailing their backstory. Really well done. Loved that one.

760
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: I just love anything Cake Quinn. Right, So, yeah, that's

761
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: my book of the month. Uh.

762
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Comic i'm reading right now is Absolute Batman. I read

763
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: issue one and two. It's the comic that took me

764
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: forever to find.

765
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: It did take a long time to find the one.

766
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Issue too is really good. That's really all I'm

767
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: reading right now. I would say that my goal in

768
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is going to be to finish a book,

769
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: but I just can't do it. I'm going to commit

770
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: to comics and graphic novels.

771
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: There you go. I think that's fine, read what you enjoy,

772
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: but we will do I'm on my goal this year

773
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: with eighty books and I'm reading. I'm reading like four

774
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: books right now, but I will finish eighty soon. But

775
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: I think the one I'm reading could be in my

776
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: top ten list, so I need to finish it before

777
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: we record that.

778
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: There you go, anything else you want to talk about.

779
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: I did go start making my list, and I don't

780
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: think any of the books that are my favorites of

781
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: the year revolved around men. Shocking, I know. Oh. I

782
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: also read one. It was called When Women Ran Fifth Avenue.

783
00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: Very interesting if you're into the history of New York fashion.

784
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: It's about how Fit Avenue became this huge shopping mecca

785
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: and like all of the department stores back then, and

786
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: how at one point women were running all of them.

787
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: And I thought that was very fascinating.

788
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: While you were saying that, I realized something ironic. I'm

789
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: round dog in this sweatshirt.

790
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't think everyone needed to see that much. Trust here.

791
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: All right, We'll come back and do a spoiler free

792
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: review of Gladiator too, because you hated it, all right? Alright, alright,

793
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: let's get into a spoiler free movie review of Gladiator two.

794
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Before we talk about two. Let's talk about one because

795
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: I would say my relationship with the first one is

796
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: really wasn't one of my favorite movies in the two thousands,

797
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: I can recognize its impact. Really, Scott obviously made that

798
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: movie with the intent, I think of making a more

799
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, completely historically accurate movie, but

800
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: he did draw a lot of inspiration from actual historical

801
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: figures to create Russell Crow's character. So Russell Crost's character

802
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: from the first movie is based on a lot of people.

803
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: And if I watched that movie, which I actually rewatched

804
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: it going into this winter, just because I wanted to

805
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: be refreshed. Back when that movie came out, I was

806
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: pretty young when I watched it. I remember watching it

807
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: on DVD and thinking, Wow, that was a cool movie,

808
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: and then I never really thought about it again. I'll

809
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: be honest, it's just not one of my favorite movies.

810
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: But to some people, this is a covied movie that

811
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people were upset that it was getting

812
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: a sequel. I've been there before. There have been movies

813
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: that have made sequels that I was like, you should

814
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: not do it. Don't mess with the original, You're only

815
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: going to make it worse. I wasn't on that level

816
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: with this movie. Didn't have that personal relationship. Gladiator one

817
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: and I didn't hook up. We knew each other, we

818
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: were friends, we were acquaintances, but it was more like, oh,

819
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: another Gladiator movie. That's cool, they're casting Paul Meskel. You know,

820
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: I really only know him from After Son a couple

821
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: of other movies, mainly from being Phoebe Bridger's ex boyfriend.

822
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't really see him in that role just because

823
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 1: all the movies I have seen him in he's been

824
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: an indie darkling. So I was going into this just

825
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: wanting to watch a fun movie. Had no real expectations

826
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: into it. You throw Denzel Washington in there, I'm all

827
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: in for it. But to some people, they were wanting

828
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: to see something as good as the first one, and

829
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have those expectations. So what Gladiator Too is

830
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: about takes place about sixteen years after that original movie.

831
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it at this point, I feel

832
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: like this movie kind of tells you what happens at

833
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: the end of Gladiator. Because Russell Crowe is not in

834
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: this movie, maybe some people haven't seen it, maybe some

835
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: people still want to watch that one before this movie.

836
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: I think that is common movie knowledge by Now the

837
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: movie is over twenty years old at this point, so

838
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: it far exceeds the spoiler warning. So if for some

839
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: reason you don't know what happens to Russell Crow's character,

840
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: fast forward in this skip this on YouTube. He dies,

841
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: so he's not in this one, and that is this

842
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: movie is about sixteen years after his death. You have

843
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: Paul Meskal's character. I believe I am pronouncing his name right.

844
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: I am so fixated on names now after being called

845
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: out by saying some people's names wrong, which I believe

846
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: is how you say his name Mescal not Mescal, because

847
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: I think he gets people confusing it with the alcohol.

848
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, Paul Meskal's character starts out at the beginning

849
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 1: of this one and he loses everything. He is trying

850
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: to defend his city, trying to defend his home, and

851
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal's character comes in and basically Rex House takes

852
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: over the place in the name of the Roman Empire,

853
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: and then he is captured and has to be forced

854
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: to become a gladiator thrown into the coliseum, much like

855
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Russell Crow did in the first one. Now, big difference

856
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: is between the first act of this movie and the

857
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: first act of Gladiator one. A lot of similarities a

858
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: lot of parallels throughout the entire film, but I would

859
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: say where it differs the most is how our characters

860
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: get into the coliseum as far as the timeline, and

861
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: what I liked about the first one is you spend

862
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: a lot more time with Russell Crow's character, getting to

863
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: know how badass he is and seeing all those things

864
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: of him fighting people, how much of a warrior he is.

865
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: I think my favorite scene in that first movie is

866
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: whenever he is straight up prisoner and finds a way

867
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: to escape and then grabs the sword with his hands

868
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: like that was an awesome moment that sets you up

869
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the movie that he is going

870
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: to be a force to be reckoned with. But in

871
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: Gladiator two, everything happens a lot more quickly. It still

872
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: starts out with a big battle, much like Gladiator one did,

873
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: but you get less time to know Paul Meskal's character,

874
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: and really you are only told how strong and how

875
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: much of a fighter he is in the beginning. You

876
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: learn that later as he fights more and more people

877
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: and animals. But I feel like you had more time

878
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: to spend with Russell Crow's character and you fully got that, Oh, Okay,

879
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: this dude is awesome. He's going to rip everybody to shreds.

880
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: With Paul Mess, you kind of had to grow with

881
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: the character a little bit more. And I feel like

882
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 1: that hurt the movie a little bit, because I think

883
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: that was the one hang up I had going into

884
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: the movie. Is this guy really going to be able

885
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: to pull off being a gladiator? But dude committed to

886
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: getting in shape for the role. He looked great, and

887
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: by the end of the movie all of my doubts

888
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: were really gone. I just would have liked to see

889
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more of his development early on, just

890
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: to have me rooting for him earlier in the movie.

891
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: But that is getting very nitpicky. I understand that. I

892
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: always say, in those first twenty minutes you can tell

893
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: if a movie is going to be good or not.

894
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: And I could tell that this movie was at least

895
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: going to be worthy of my time. But I also

896
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: knew that it was not going to be as good

897
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: as the original, and I started thinking about how that

898
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: might feel to some other people. I took into consideration

899
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: these film bros after the movie who were really upset

900
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: they hated this movie, And I think why that is

901
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: is because it tries to be upon the first one,

902
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: which a good sequel does. And I almost feel like

903
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: if this would have been a standalone sequel, less people

904
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: would have had a problem with it. And I think

905
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: you could have done that because the gladiator format is

906
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: kind of there. You take the same situation, but just

907
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: don't try to tie it into that first one whatsoever.

908
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: I think when they started to do that, the plotline

909
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: became a little bit more unbelievable. The waters got a

910
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: little muddy, and all of the webs of how this

911
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: connected to Hear just didn't quite add up. I think

912
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: that is what really hurt this movie. If he would

913
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: have just been an entirely new character, had no connection

914
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: with that one, it would have felt less like, Oh,

915
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: you're making this sequel to spit on the grave of

916
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: the first one. I don't think that's what Ridley Scott

917
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: was trying to do. And the other thing you have

918
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: to realize about Ridley Scott, dude is eighty seven years old.

919
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: He does not care at this point what anybody thinks

920
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: of his movies. He just doesn't. He is making movies

921
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: that he wants to make. Why didn't you do that?

922
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: At eighty seven years old. Look at Napoleon. I feel

923
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: like he'd been wanting to make that movie for a

924
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: long time. And the thing that he does is he

925
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: makes historical dramas with really bloody, intense violence. That is

926
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: his calling card. And the difference between Gladiator one and

927
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: two is I feel with Gladiator one he at least

928
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: tried to pull inspiration from historical facts and be a

929
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: little bit more accurate, and in this one. For Gladiator two,

930
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: he straight up just said to people, were you there?

931
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: Like?

932
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Were you there back in the day? I don't think

933
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: you were. So I'm gonna make this movie based upon

934
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: what I've read and based upon the movie I want

935
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: to make. And that tells me that he doesn't care

936
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: what you think, and I can respect that. Again, dude

937
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: is eighty seven years old, has made amazing movies throughout

938
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: his career, is a legendary director. Why should I be

939
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: questioning his decisions? The studio isn't The studio is letting

940
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: them make these movies. This movie was in development starting

941
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen. They didn't start filming until twenty

942
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: twenty two. I don't even think we heard until twenty

943
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty three. That Paul Meskal was cast as the lead,

944
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: and then you have a fantastic cast with Denzel Washington,

945
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: who was my favorite in this movie, Pedro Pascal, who

946
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: was kind of just there. Pedro is solid and everything.

947
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: I really enjoy him as an actor. I don't know

948
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: that his presence really took this movie to another level,

949
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: but I enjoyed his role, and I don't think it

950
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: was as impactful as anything from the first movie where

951
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: he had Russell Crow and Joaquin Phoenix, which was just

952
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: acting on an entirely different level. But so I just

953
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: think Ridley Scott said out with the intention of I

954
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: want to do everything that I couldn't fit in that

955
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: first One grand example of that is the rhino. He

956
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: wanted that rhino in the first movie. But back when

957
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: they were making that early two thousands, you have to

958
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: think you're still in like late nineties technology. The CG

959
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: guy and special effects weren't there. They couldn't make it happen.

960
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: And now in twenty twenty four and in the last

961
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: couple of years that they were making this movie, he

962
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: could finally get his rhino. What surprised me about that

963
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: is that rhino didn't look that good. Really, none of

964
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: the animals looked that good in this movie, and that

965
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: is what took me out of it. Started with the monkeys,

966
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: which we're vicious looking. I love that scene, but the

967
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: monkeys look fake. The rhino looked fake from the trailer.

968
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: If you've seen the trailer, at least you see they

969
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: fill the Colosseum with water and there are sharks roaming

970
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: around in the waters in the colisseum. He says, were

971
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: you there? Apparently that to him at least that happened.

972
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: And while it doesn't feel authentic, maybe it's authentic to him.

973
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: And I could sit here and cry about how it

974
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: didn't feel real or set in reality, but to be honest,

975
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really care about that. At that point. I

976
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: was sold on the story. I was able to suspend

977
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: disbelief and just allow myself to enjoy it because I

978
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: wasn't holding it to the standards of the first one.

979
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: Once I realized it wasn't going to be as good.

980
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: It is just a fun action movie with some real

981
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: good acting. Rarely do you get a movie that is

982
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: both fun and has great a level acting from Denzel Washington,

983
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Paul Mesk, the entire cast, fantastic actors, and that is

984
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: really what elevates this movie. If you didn't have them,

985
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: if you didn't have such a great director as really Scott,

986
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: this movie would be hot garbage. But you don't have

987
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: to worry about that because you have really great people

988
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: making this art. And it might not be what you

989
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: wanted in the sequel, but I truly believe this is

990
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: exactly the movie they wanted to make. And a lot

991
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: of people were saying this was a lazy sequel, I

992
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: would say, aside from the special effect, which it is

993
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: just surprising to me, how bad they looked and how

994
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: cheap they looked. This was a much more expensive movie

995
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: than the first one. I think almost one hundred million

996
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: more that they spent on this movie, and it still

997
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: it didn't quite look like that price tag, and it's

998
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: unfairly well at the box office, still about one hundred

999
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: million less at the time of recording this under what

1000
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: the first one made in its entire run. So I

1001
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: still think it'll climb towards that as we go through

1002
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: the holiday season. I don't know if it's gonna be

1003
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: as profitable now because it already cost one hundred million

1004
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: dollars more but that was the only part to me

1005
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: that felt lazy in any way. And I don't know

1006
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: if it was just too ambitious of special effects to

1007
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: have some of these animals that it was gonna be

1008
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: hard for this not to look fake. And I know

1009
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: a lot of people were complaining about the use of

1010
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: CGI and special effects. When it comes to filling out

1011
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: the colisseum, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna

1012
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 1: get thousands and thousands of extras in there? I don't

1013
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: think that is gonna happen. There are other little things

1014
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: that you think about. As people are speaking in the coliseum,

1015
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: there's no microphones and they're speaking out into the abyss,

1016
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: and you're assuming that everybody there can hear. So there

1017
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: are just some things that aren't going to add up

1018
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: when it comes to those little details. But I would

1019
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: say overall, the action is there, the performances are there,

1020
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: and even though the animals don't look the way I

1021
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: would envision them to look in a movie that costs

1022
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: this much, it's really not that distracting unless you're just

1023
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: being like, oh, why does that thing look so weird?

1024
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: To me?

1025
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: That is just a thing I noticed that I was

1026
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: surprised by but overall, nothing about this screamed cash grab

1027
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: to me. And even if it was the only reason,

1028
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: I feel okay with it in this sense because most

1029
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: times I get annoyed by cash crabs. I feel like

1030
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: it makes me think less of the people who make

1031
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: a movie for that reason. But in one of the

1032
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: plot lines, I feel like Ridley Scott told us why

1033
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: he made this movie. Because this movie focuses a lot

1034
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: on power, particularly the cost of power. Legacy is what

1035
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: you inherit from the past. And there is one moment

1036
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: that I won't reveal every thing that has spoken and

1037
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: all the details around it, but they make a reference

1038
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: to why people do certain things, and the reason they

1039
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: give is because of money. And I feel like that

1040
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: was really Scott telling us why would I make a

1041
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: sequel twenty plus years after the original one. I'll tell

1042
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: you in the movie it is because of money. I

1043
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: think he is setting up his family and thinking about

1044
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: his legacy of is he going to leave behind movies

1045
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: that he is truly proud of and does he want

1046
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: to be on his deathbed thinking oh, I just would

1047
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: have made this movie and done it this way, done

1048
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: it my own way. That is what I regret because

1049
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: that's what you regret in life, the things you don't do.

1050
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that is what he is doing at this

1051
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: point in his career. You get the best of both worlds.

1052
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: You make the money, which is the root of power,

1053
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: just like in this movie, and then you leave behind

1054
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: the legacy of all these films. He told us in

1055
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: the plot line. So you can't be mad at that,

1056
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: because he showed his cards. He revealed it to us

1057
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: exactly why he is doing this, exactly why he's made

1058
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: making movies. And most times I would have an issue

1059
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: with the director making a movie without me the viewer

1060
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: in mind. How selfish of them. But it's Raisley Scott.

1061
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep going back to the well, even though

1062
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: I know exactly what he's gonna do at this point.

1063
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: So for gladiat Or two, I give it four out

1064
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: of five swords.

1065
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie Mike trailer Paul.

1066
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: First full trailer for the new Snow White Live action

1067
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: remake is out, and I think it's gonna be Disney's

1068
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: worst bomb. Just looking at the numbers here, which let's

1069
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: break down Snow White by the numbers. The movie cost

1070
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: two hundred and nine million dollars to make. Initially wasn't

1071
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: going to be that expensive, but they had to do

1072
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of reshoots. This movie has been in development

1073
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: for eight years, took about two and a half years

1074
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: to film, multiple rewrites. I would say, just looking at

1075
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: the trailer, endless amount of scenes with unnecessary CGI. I

1076
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: think initially they were gonna have real actors play the

1077
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: Seven Dwarves. I remember seeing a set photo of snow

1078
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: White with actual actors. They opted out of that because

1079
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: I think they had some pushback online of people not

1080
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: wanting to see that in the movie, saying that probably

1081
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: wasn't the way to go. So now all the Seven

1082
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: Doors are CGI characters and they look freaky. Their facial

1083
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: features just look disturbing to me, and I am an

1084
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: adult man. I can only imagine a kid going to

1085
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: see this movie, especially a younger kid, probably gonna be

1086
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: a little terrified at the Seven Dwarves. They're not cute

1087
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: and friendly like they were in the animated movie, which

1088
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: the animated movie is so good. Their first ever animated

1089
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: movie back in nineteen thirty seven, obviously way before all

1090
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: of our times. And what I love about that movie

1091
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: is it has such a warmth to it, that hand

1092
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: drawn animation, just seeing those characters come to life with

1093
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: the soundtrack. It is the classic. And they have tried

1094
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: to do all different kinds of snow White movies. Not

1095
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: all of them have been Disney because snow White is

1096
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: in the public domain. So you've seen movies like snow

1097
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: White and The Huntsmen and all these prequels and Maleficent,

1098
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: although I think that was still Disney, but they want

1099
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: to go back to their very original movies, their core

1100
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: source material with snow White, and this movie just, oh,

1101
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: it just feels to me like it's gonna have a

1102
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: bad time at the box office. Going back to the

1103
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: numbers right now, the trailer has, at the time of

1104
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: recording this twenty four thousand likes on YouTube. It's pretty good,

1105
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: but it has six hundred thousand dislikes. It might be

1106
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: in history now the most disliked movie trailer of all

1107
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: time on YouTube, and that is not good. So what

1108
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: Disney has done here, much like they've done with their

1109
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: other classic movies, they reimagine them for a live action adaptation.

1110
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: You have snow White being played by Rachel Zegler, Evil

1111
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: Moleficent being played by Galagado. She is the evil Queen,

1112
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 1: and it looks like this movie isn't going to feature

1113
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: the traditional love story from the Snow White. There is

1114
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: no Prince Charming character. There is a character named Jonathan

1115
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: played by Andrew Burtnapp, but by the looks of this trailer,

1116
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: it looks the plotline they are following along snow White.

1117
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 1: At her home, she doesn't get along with the evil Queen.

1118
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: Somebody warns her and tells her, you need to leave

1119
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: here because she's gonna try to kill you. So she

1120
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: goes out and lives in the woods, finds the Seven Dwarfs,

1121
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: and then realizes that she needs to go back home

1122
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: and fight for her people, fight for her city because

1123
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: they need her. So maybe something the Seven Dwarfs do

1124
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: inspire her. It still looks like they sing all the

1125
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: same songs. There's just no real love story, so I

1126
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: think they're trying to get away from that. They feel

1127
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: that story is outdated. Rachel Zegler has been very, very

1128
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: opinionated almost how she doesn't even like the story in

1129
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: the original movie, which leads me to believe is she

1130
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: even doing this because she likes snow White or is

1131
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: it just a paycheck. It just seems like nobody associated

1132
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: with this movie really wants to be a part and

1133
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: that is going to be a big issue when you're

1134
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: trying to sell this movie. They're out doing the press

1135
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: run if they don't truly believe in it. And it

1136
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: had so many reshoots and issues and production delays that

1137
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: I just don't feel good about this movie going in

1138
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: the theater. Before I get into more, here's just a

1139
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: little bit of the snow white trailer, magic mirror on

1140
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: the wall. Who is the fairest of them all? Fame

1141
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 1: is the beauty majesty, a lovely maiden.

1142
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: I now behold, I look at you, and I just

1143
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 2: want to be the fairest of them all. The Queen

1144
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: is evil, evens flee into the woods. Queen, it's a human.

1145
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: What did you think I was nothing? Ghost? So you

1146
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: hear some of the high ho there at the end.

1147
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: One of my favorite teens is when they are like

1148
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: mining and they have like the things in their eyes.

1149
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: You see a little glimpse of that here too. I

1150
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: think the problem with this is that nobody asked for it.

1151
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: I also feel that this story is too classic now

1152
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: to be remade. It is so outdated with the values

1153
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: and just a plot line and the level of storytelling

1154
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: that I think just taking a known property and remaking

1155
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't really have that same effect because it's just

1156
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: so outdated. It's too classic. The character of snow White

1157
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 1: is ancient that I feel that Hollywood has been punching

1158
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: this bag to death and no one cares to see

1159
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: anything about it because it's all something we already know.

1160
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: I don't even feel like kids these days want to

1161
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: go and rewatch the original one because it's so dated.

1162
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: So I just think the time that this story takes

1163
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: place is just not going to work. And if you

1164
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: try to make it so updated where snow White is

1165
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: texting and trying to appeal to gen z and she's

1166
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: a streamer instead of living out in the woods, or

1167
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: you could be like a YouTuber who lives out in

1168
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: nature with seven dudes. Maybe that would work better. But

1169
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: I just feel that a musical at this level isn't

1170
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: going to have the same effect essay a Wicked because

1171
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: it's just not on the entirely same level. If you

1172
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: look at the production design in this trailer and the

1173
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: wardrobe and all the characters, there's just not that craft

1174
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 1: behind this, you can't feel the love in it. It

1175
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 1: is from director Mark Webb, who I like. He directed

1176
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: the amazing Spider Man one and two. He did Five

1177
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: Hundred Days of Summer before those movies. I think he

1178
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: is a good director, but I just don't think that

1179
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: even having somebody like him behind this is gonna make

1180
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: me think it is a good movie. And then you

1181
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: have Rachel Segler, who really is a new actress that

1182
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: really hasn't had that breakthrough role yet. She was in

1183
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games prequel. She was just in y Chu K,

1184
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: which I will review next week. She also had a

1185
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: role in Shazam Fury of the Gods.

1186
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 2: I thought she was.

1187
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: Pretty good in that. People hated that movie. I at

1188
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: the time I enjoyed it. I still haven't gone back

1189
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: and rewatched that one. I felt like that movie was

1190
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: kind of like a roller coaster to me. I wrote

1191
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: it once. I don't really care to get on it again.

1192
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: But I think she is a good actor. It just

1193
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: feels like her relationship with this movie hasn't been good

1194
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: and she said some things that a lot of people

1195
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: they may have rubbed them the wrong way. So I

1196
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: feel whenever you have somebody like that being so outspoken

1197
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: about not liking things about the original movie, It's gonna

1198
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: make you think that, well, do they even really want

1199
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: to do this movie? Are you buying into them with

1200
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: this character? And when you see other people like Ariana

1201
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: Grande loving the history of the Wizard of Oz and

1202
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 1: being so invested in it, even tweeting like ten years

1203
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: ago that it was her dream to be a part

1204
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: of Wicked and do this role, and you hear you

1205
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: have her ten fifteen years later actually doing it much

1206
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: different level. I don't think anybody is that passionate that

1207
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: they dreamed of being snow White able to play them

1208
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: whenever their acting career came to fruition. And then you

1209
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: have gal Gado, who is always I feel, a safe

1210
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: choice for studios because she does have success as wonder Woman,

1211
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: she has that name recognition. A lot of people give

1212
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: her crap for not being a good actor. I think

1213
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: she's a good actor. I just feel like she is

1214
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: that safe investment that studios make where they need to

1215
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: find somebody who fits the role but most importantly that

1216
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: they can sell. But even just from the trailer, I

1217
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: don't really see any chemistry or connection between Snow White

1218
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: and the Evil Queen, And there's nothing about the trailer

1219
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: that screams to me, I need to go see this

1220
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: in theaters. And there are some good songs in Snow White,

1221
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's anything that is heightened by

1222
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: experiencing that with other people. This screams. Disney Plus just

1223
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: has it written all over to me. To me, this

1224
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: is a movie they should have made and put out,

1225
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: and maybe because it has been in development for so long,

1226
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: when they were first launching Disney Plus, whenever they put

1227
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: out the Lie Action Lady in the Tramp Movie when

1228
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: that service first rolled out, and even putting out Pinocchio

1229
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. This feels on that level to me

1230
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be very lifeless, very stiff and stale,

1231
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: and a classic tale that just doesn't need to be retold.

1232
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: But I also don't think I am so outraged by

1233
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: the trailer it hate it so much that's gonna stop

1234
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: me from going to Seed in theaters so I can

1235
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: review and talk about it on the podcast. I'm not

1236
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: at a level red one what I now refer to

1237
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: as movies I refuse to see in theaters. I just

1238
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: think at some point they just have to stop remaking

1239
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: these animated movies into live action movies, because when is
