Movie Podcast About to get into my top 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: ten Steven Spielberg movies of all time. But first let's 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: talk about what makes a Steven Spielberg movie. There are 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: a lot of big themes throughout his entire career, which 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: is spanned decades now. And the thing about Steven Spielberg movies, 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: and even when I start listening my favorite directors, I 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: often overlook him because of how influential he's been over 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: the years and how many different genres and how many 27 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: different types of movies he has made. That I forget 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: all of these movies. I forget that they are all 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: directed by one person. It doesn't even sound like that's 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: something achievable. That is the greatness of Steven Spielberg. I 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: feel like he is film like. He is the guy. 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: If there's ever anybody who's up and coming, or even 33 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: if like a kid has a video camera, it's like, 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: well Spielberg. That is how influential he is. He is 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: just the gold standard. So what exactly makes a STEVENS. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: Bielberg movie? I think it boils down to a few things. 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: You always have to have the adventure. I think that 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: is what he does best. That is his trademark. You 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of themes with family. A lot of 40 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: his films, especially early on, revolved around child actors and 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: the ability to get performances out of child actors is 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: a very big accomplishment when it comes to filmmaking, and 43 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: he has done it the best and he has given 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: some child actors some very amazing opportunities and amazing films 45 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: that have really broken their careers, from Drew Barrymore to 46 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: Christian Bale, and the list goes on and on. So 47 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: I think that also speaks volumes to him as a director. 48 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: You also have the big scores. Some of the most 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: iconic themes ever in movies come from Steven Spielberg movies, 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: and that is very important because when we go back 51 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: and watch these movies, it's not only the characters, it's 52 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: not only the plots, it's not only the special effects 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: and the cinematography. It's those score is that can instantly 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: take us back to a place, especially because they're so 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: big and cinematic, it makes us feel like we're kids again. 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: And I think that is very important in all of 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: his movies, from the sci fi movies to the most 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: dramatic movies, a killer score is always very important and 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: always very Spielberg. Another thing about Steven Spielberg movies is 60 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: all of his movie titles all have great logos, and 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: maybe it's something you don't always think about, but I 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: can picture every title in the logo. So not only 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: is he creating these great titles, but he's also a 64 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: building brand. He's building franchises and things that we just 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: associate with his movies. From the Indiana Jones logo, the 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Jaws logo, the ET logo, the Jurassic Park font, all 67 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: of those things I find very memorable. And then some 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: of the other things that you would associate and what 69 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: makes the Steven Spielberg movie is aliens. From Close Encounters 70 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: of the Third Kind to ET to War the World, 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: all these movies. He just has an affinity with aliens 72 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: and does it so well. And also Tom Hanks. He 73 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: works a lot with Tom Hanks. It's a no brainer. 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: They just worked together so well. It's like peanut butter 75 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: and jelly. So that's what makes a Steven Spielberg movie 76 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: in my eyes. Here are a few things you may 77 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: not know about him. He was actually turned down by 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: film school. After graduating high school, he moved out to 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and was rejected three times from film school 80 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: because of his mediocre grades. He really wasn't interested in 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: the academic side of college. He only wanted to be 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: a filmmaker. So that kind of proves you don't really 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: have to go to school for anything creative to get 84 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: a degree. If you just want to go out and 85 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: do it, that's probably the better road. He did go 86 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: back years later to finish up that degree. In his 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: final paper, he just handed in the script of Schindler's 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: List and got his degree well deserved. He is the 89 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: highest grossing movie director ever and has had several of 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: the highest grossing film of all time. His movies have 91 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: gross more than any director ever, bringing in over ten 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: point five billion dollars through his career, and he also 93 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: faced some harsh criticism early in his career. I was 94 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: talking about this on last week's episode about how Quentin 95 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: Tarantino is calling out superhero movies. Spielberg faced that same 96 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: kind of criticism early in his career because he found 97 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: success at a very young age, and he got a 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: lot of criticism on his early movies, calling them not art. 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: Critics claimed that his movies were cynical and just spectacular 100 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: cash grabs, designed and made only to make money, so 101 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: he didn't get respect early on even though he was 102 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: making all this money, making all these movies that people loved. 103 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't until he made movies like The Color Purple 104 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: in six, Empire of the Sun in eighty seven, and 105 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: then of course Schindler's List in ninety three, where he 106 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: was like, all right, you guys don't think I'm a 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: real filmmaker. You guys don't think I'm actually making art. 108 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: Here you go. And I think all around his career 109 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: he's gone back and forth between his signature adventure films 110 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: and then later in his career got into really stretching 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: his wings when it came to making movies about the Holocaust, 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: slave trade, civil rights war, and terrorism. He's really a 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: director who has done it all. So that's a little 114 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: about him. And now let's get into what I think 115 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: are the best ten Steven Spielberg movies of all time. 116 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: This is according to me and my relationship with his 117 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: movies over the years, and I really battled with all 118 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: these movies. So it's a very hard thing to do. 119 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: There are so many movies, and my number ten I 120 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: went between two movies. I was almost gonna put Schindler's 121 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: List there, which is probably arguably depending on what fan 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: of his work you are, it could be as greatest 123 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: film that. It's a powerful movie, a tough one to watch, 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: and a very hard one to go back and rewatch. 125 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: So I couldn't really justify putting that one as my 126 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: top ten if I'm picking for me personally. So at 127 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: number ten, I went with The Lost World Jurassic Park. 128 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: I feel like some people don't even like this movie. 129 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: When I asked this question online, of course, everybody said 130 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: the original one. I feel like this is one that 131 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: gets forgotten. And the first one came out in ninety three, 132 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: which I was two years old, but this one came 133 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: out in ninety seven, I was six, So I actually 134 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: discovered this movie before I did the original one, and 135 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: I just have so many great memories of watching this 136 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: movie over and over again. And I really loved the 137 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: action in this movie. But I love that the technology 138 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: progressed so much between the original and this one, and 139 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: I felt like the action was a lot more driving 140 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: in this movie, especially when it came to scenes around 141 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: the t Rex. I thought, I love the more screen 142 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: time with the t Rex in this movie, and that's 143 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: probably due to they did have the better technology. So 144 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: this is a movie that became one of my staples 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: of my childhood. I've easily watched this one more than 146 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: the original, and I just love that Spielberg didn't try 147 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: to just make the exact same movie that he did 148 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: in the first one. So maybe all of the changes 149 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: he did in the difference in tone didn't work for everybody. 150 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: It was less driven by the kids in this movie. 151 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: You didn't have some of the original cast back. But 152 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I just love the Lost World. So I put this 153 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: one at number ten and number nine from two thousand 154 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: and five, I'm putting War of the World. It's based 155 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: on the H. G. Wells novel. I also love the 156 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: scale of this movie. It had a hundred and thirty 157 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: million dollar budget and that was very well used. I 158 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: love alien movies, my favorite or alien invasion movies, and 159 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: this movie gave me one of my best in theater 160 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: experiences in the two thousands, and even though the ending 161 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: wasn't the most satisfying, I think all of the action 162 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: throughout this movie, the performance from Tom Cruise, and you 163 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: have your child actor star in this movie, Dakota Fanning, 164 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: which is what put her on the map. Early on 165 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: in her career. Spielberg was able to get some really 166 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: good emotion out of her. A lot of it is 167 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: her crying and yelling and screaming that adds so much 168 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: to the movie. I love the way that aliens looked 169 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: in this. I thought any time they were on screen 170 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: it was very captivating. So even Spielberg aside, this is 171 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of the two thousands, and 172 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: one that I think still holds up pretty well. So 173 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: at number nine, I'm going with War of the World's 174 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: at number eight is one I've told you guys I'm 175 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of, but collectively, all these movies 176 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: definitely earned a place on the list. So I'm going 177 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: with the entire Indiana Jones franchise at number eight. I 178 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: think that's how I can greatly justify that, even though 179 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of one individual movie, together, I 180 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: can't deny what Indiana Jones has done for film and 181 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: how significant all of these movies are. Of course, the 182 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: original ones are the best and the ones everybody loves, 183 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: but I even find the later ones with Chila buff enjoyable, 184 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: even though they kind of went in a different direction 185 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: throwing in some aliens in there. I think that's what 186 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: people were probably most upset about, but hands down, the 187 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: Indiana Jones franchise has some of the most iconic images 188 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: in movie history. The hat, the whip, the logo, and 189 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: the score, like you can't deny that score. You hear 190 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: that and you know exactly what it is. You hear 191 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: that and you get excited, And that is what Steven 192 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Spielberg does with the music in his movies. So at 193 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: number eight, I'm going with the Indiana Jones Franchise. At 194 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,599 Speaker 1: number seven from two thousand and two, I'm going with 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: Catch Me if you can. I love the pairing of 196 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks to get them both at 197 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: a very good point in their career. And this is 198 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: a movie I wish I could rewatch for the first time, 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: because in general, I don't think this movie has the 200 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 1: best rewatchability rate, But the first time you watch it, 201 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: it is so exciting, and all the twists and turns, 202 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: I think that's something you experience for the first time 203 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: and it's unlike anything else. I love that this movie 204 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: is set in the sixties, so a lot of the 205 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: costume design and look and feel and soundtrack of this 206 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: movie just feel perfectly like the nineteen sixties. Course, it 207 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: is based on the quote unquote autobiography of this guy 208 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: named Frank, which over the years a lot of this 209 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: stuff has come out that it's been very exaggerated, but 210 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: I think it plays so well into making a movie 211 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: about it. So even if it isn't completely true to 212 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: what actually happened in this guy's life, it makes for 213 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: a highly entertaining movie. I also love the score in 214 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: this movie, and it makes it feel unlike anything else 215 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: that Steven Spielberg had done. When you put all of 216 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: his movies on the list, this one just kind of 217 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: has an entirely different playing field. And because he's touched 218 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: on history before obviously, but it's not really dramatic history. 219 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: It's very cat and mouse style movie. So when looking 220 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: at all his movies, this is one I look back 221 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: on and forget, like, oh, yeah, he did direct that movie, 222 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: because it's so unlike any of his other work. It's 223 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: not family base, there's no aliens, but it is a 224 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: great thriller. So at number seven, I'm going with catch 225 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: Me if you can, and number eight we'll keep Tom 226 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: Hanks in it. From Saving Private Ryan, which is arguably 227 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: the greatest war movie ever made. It's a perfect blend 228 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: of violence and showing the rawness and reality of war 229 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: that we had never really seen up to this point 230 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: in a war movie. It is probably one of his 231 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: bigger masterpieces, like Pound for Pound. I think this is 232 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: a masterpiece because you get the emotional side of it, 233 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: and you also get all the graphic images which were 234 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: brutal to watch. It's a very hard film to stomach 235 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: at some points, but I love that realness and rawness 236 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: that it captured, and I think that's credit to the 237 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: filming style in this movie. I love the handheld camera 238 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 1: scenes which really capture that chaotic energy of war. And 239 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: then you also have a perfect score in this movie 240 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: as well. You mix that with a stellar cast and 241 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg behind the camera, it's a perfect movie. So 242 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: at number six is Saving Private Ryan. At number five, 243 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: we've entered the top five here from I am going 244 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: with hook. This is the best Peter Pan story we've 245 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: ever had. And the scale of this movie in is 246 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: highly ambitious, from the set design, all the costumes, and 247 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: how large the cast is, and not only how large 248 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: it is, but how many child actors that you have 249 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: to get all of these performances out of it is 250 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: an incredible feat in itself, but then you have one 251 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: of the greatest comedic actors of all time showing all 252 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: size of what he can do well. Robin Williams is 253 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: perfect in this movie, probably pretty close to my favorite 254 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: movie of his of all time. And this is a 255 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: movie that I feel like everybody should watch in their lifetime. 256 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: If you haven't, how could you have not have seen 257 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: this movie by this point? And I think what made 258 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: this movie great specifically is Steven Spielberg put a lot 259 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: of himself into it, and that's what really makes the 260 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: story play out so well. And you also have another 261 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: epic score in this movie. Not to mention it came 262 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: out in one of my favorite years of all time, 263 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: which also happens to be when I was born, so 264 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: I have an affinity for those films as well. So 265 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: at number five, I'm going with Hook. At number four, 266 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: I am going with E. T. The Extraterrestrial, which came 267 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: out in nineteen eighty two. I believe that this movie, 268 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,359 Speaker 1: above anything else that he did, created the blueprint for filmmaking. 269 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: If you want to know how to make a movie, 270 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: you have to go back and watch ET and as 271 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,479 Speaker 1: all of my favorite things that you get from Spielberg. 272 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: You have aliens, you have adventure, you have iconic imagery, 273 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: you have these amazing child actors with Drew Barrymore, and 274 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: you have some of the most famous shots that Steven 275 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: Spielberg has ever done in any of his movies. And 276 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: the most iconic moment of all time that he has 277 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: given us is with Et and Elliott flying past the moon, 278 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: which actually has no digital trickery to that shot. Almost 279 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: every part of that scene was shot right on camera. 280 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: That's all lighting and camera work. They used actual astrological 281 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: charts to find the perfect time where there would be 282 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: a full moon sitting among these low trees in that 283 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: right spot, and then Elliott and Et were made into 284 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: scale models, but the rest of that was real. So 285 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: that is filmmaking. This is one where you just hear 286 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: that music and you automatically feel like a kid again. 287 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: So At number four from nineteen eighty two is e 288 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: t At number three is a very important film for 289 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: many reasons. It is the first summer blockbuster of all time. 290 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: In the movie from nineteen seventy five is Jaws. This 291 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: is Steven Spielberg's monster movie. The one that started his 292 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: entire career. He had had some success in some other projects, 293 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: but this was his first major movie when he was 294 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. It went on to be the 295 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: highest grossing movie ever in an instant classic, even though 296 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: there were so many problems when making this movie. It 297 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: was shot on location out at sea, so you can 298 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: imagine how hard that was to get the shots without 299 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: any other boats in the water. They build this animatronic Jaws, 300 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: which they didn't test in salt water, so whence they 301 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: had this thing out into the water, they realized there 302 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: were a lot of difficulties with that, but a lot 303 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: of those issues made this movie great and created something 304 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: that I think now the best horror movies use, and 305 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: that is not showing and revealing the monster until the 306 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: very end and just giving you these brief little moments 307 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: of terror to really build that intensity, to build that 308 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: tension and suspense. That is what Jaws did so well 309 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: and now is my favorite thing when a director can 310 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: nail that. And Steven Spielberg is credited for that. And 311 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: since it was the first summer blockbuster ever, now every 312 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: major movie that comes out in the summer without knowing it, 313 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: you have to give credit to Jaws. It made that 314 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: summer event become a thing. So now every Avengers movie 315 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: or Jurassic Park movie, even though he's not directing those anymore, 316 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: anything major that comes out in summer blockbuster season owes 317 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: at all back to Jaws. And it also has one 318 00:17:53,760 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: of the most famous themes of all time. So at 319 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: number three from nine, I'm going with Jaws. Moving up 320 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: now to number two from eighteen, I'm going with Ready 321 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: Player one. I love this movie because Steven Spielberg is 322 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: a nerd and this shows that it is a nerd 323 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: movie made by a nerd. Only somebody with glasses that 324 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: thick could make this movie. And this story takes place 325 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: entirely inside a virtual reality world and a little bit 326 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: out into the real world. But this movie is so 327 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: visually stimulating. Then the sound design is amazing. I love 328 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: the pop culture references. And even though this is a 329 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: new movie set kind of in this distant future, it 330 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: is oddly nostalgic with all the references to old video 331 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: games from our childhood, from the eighties and nineties and 332 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: two thousands. I think is his best sci fi movie 333 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: that he has made, because it blends all of the 334 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: things that I feel really define nerd coal sure, and 335 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't like it when people who aren't nerds try 336 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: to depict what nerd culture is. But since he is 337 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: a nerd, he got this movie right. And I can't 338 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: wait for Part two, even though there isn't a release 339 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: date on that yet. Since this movie came out in 340 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I can only imagine how much has advanced 341 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: in those four years to make it even more stellar. 342 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: And not only that, I think this movie proved that 343 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg still has it. He directed this movie when 344 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: he was seventy two years old. He's seventy five now, 345 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: but it just kind of shows you that he has 346 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: consistently stayed sharp and consistently been able to push himself. 347 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: So at number two, I'm going with Ready Player one. 348 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: Before I get to my number one Steven Spielberg movie, 349 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: here are a few that you guys sent in on 350 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: social media. The Terminal from two thousand and four, which 351 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: is a great movie. I think I've heard some people 352 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: actually hate The Terminal, but man, that movie is so 353 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: good too. Probably would have cracked my top fifteen. A 354 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: lot of will sent in The Goonies, which he actually 355 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: didn't direct, but he did do the story for the Goonies. 356 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: I didn't want to include any of the movies that 357 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: he produced or just wrote. I just wanted to focus 358 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: on the movies he directed. But if I would have 359 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: combined all those together, that easily would have made the list. 360 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: But he didn't direct that one. Close Encounters of the 361 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: Third Kind from nineteen seventy seven. A lot of people 362 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: sent that one in. That's also one of my favorites, 363 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: but I think when it comes to all of the 364 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: movies that deal with aliens, I just like wore The 365 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: World's and E Team more than that movie, but that 366 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: movie is still really great. From the movies in his 367 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: early work. Of course, you also have The Color Purple 368 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: AI from two thousand and one, Minority Report, and the 369 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: movie that just missed my top ten Schindler's list, and 370 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: now if you haven't been able to figure it out 371 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: by now at number one from nineteen ninety three. I 372 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: have the best Steven Spielberg movie of all time, being 373 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: Jurassic Park. From the first time I heard this theme song. 374 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: I have a lot of core movie memories, and this 375 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: one is pretty vivid. Even though I saw The Lost 376 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: World before I saw the original Jurassic Park, there was 377 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: still something so magical the first time you see the 378 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: dinosaurs in this movie. And it's from this moment that 379 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: I became a true Steven Spielberg fan. And I think 380 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: where this movie really kind of showed how he pushes 381 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: the boundaries is almost all the technology was created just 382 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: for this movie, and if you go back and watch it, 383 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: you can tell that it's not perfect. But at the 384 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: time it was so advanced, and this was just such 385 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: a major event for people to go watch in theaters. 386 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: I wish I was able to experience that more. I 387 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: wish I wasn't two years old and had no idea 388 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: what was going on, but this was an event. This 389 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: had parents taking their kids out of school to go 390 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: watch a movie that doesn't happen anymore. And it did 391 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: blend at three D technology that was basically being formed 392 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: as they went along to get these shots. This movie 393 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: came down to the wire because the technology did not exist, 394 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: but it blended that with the actual use of animatronics. 395 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: And I think those are still some of the shots 396 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: that hold up so well in this movie. When it 397 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: comes to the scene in the water with the t 398 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: Rex at the gate I still think that is an 399 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: incredible feat and one that still holds up. Another one that, 400 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of like Jaws back in the seventies, had some 401 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: complications because what they build that t Rex out of 402 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: didn't do so well in water. It took them a 403 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: while to get that right. But you have the perfect 404 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: cast in this movie, you have the perfect score, and 405 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: it made us all love dinosaurs, which I still haven't 406 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: quite figured out what makes dinosaurs so cinematically satisfying. Maybe 407 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: it's because we were never alive to see dinosaurs and 408 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: seeing them on screen makes them feel like they are 409 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: so much more real, and putting that kind of juxtaposition 410 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: of seeing something prehistoric in our times makes for a 411 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: truly magical experience. I also think that's why I really 412 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: love The Lost World is because they brought the t 413 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: Rex into a real life city, which made it even 414 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: more chaotic, and I love that part of that. But 415 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: I think when it comes to really capturing what Steven 416 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Spielberg is all about, you find it all in Jurassic Park, 417 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: building a world that is something we have never seen before. 418 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: You have the use of technology, but not only that, 419 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: you have great storytelling. In Jurassic Park, memorable lines, an 420 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: incredible score, and one that has truly stood the test 421 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: of time and spawned one of the most memorable franchises 422 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: in movie history. So there you have it, my top 423 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: ten Steven Spielberg movies of all time. Let me know 424 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: if you agree or disagree with some of those pigs. 425 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: Which ones you think I should have mentioned, Which ones 426 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: you think deserve an honorable mention? Hit me up on Twitter, Instagram, 427 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: Facebook at Mike Distro, or send me an email movie 428 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Mike d at gmail dot com. Let's get into a 429 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: spoiler free movie review now. I want to talk about 430 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: The Fable Men's, directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie is 431 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: semi autobiographical, and just after watching the trailer for this 432 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: movie for the very first time, I knew it was 433 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: going to be something special. But man, is this movie 434 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: a love letter to cinema. It is one of the 435 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: best movies already I've seen of the year, easily already 436 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: entered my top five, and I want to tell you why. 437 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: But before I get into my full spoiler free movie review, 438 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Fable Men's trailer. 439 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: Movies are dreams. It's never forget you have a smiss 440 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: what he does. It's playful or imaginative. You could afford 441 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: to be a little encouraging. I can't just love something. 442 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: You also have to take care of it. It's more 443 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: important than your hobby. Can you stop calling him a hobby? Bo? 444 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: Mom got a lot, Why don't you get a monkey? 445 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: Because I needed a laugh. So this movie, it's about 446 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: a character named Sammy, who is based on Steven Spielberg, 447 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: and he calls this movie semi autobiographical, mainly because he 448 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: didn't really want to promote a movie about himself. Maybe 449 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: he felt it was a little bit too self indulgent. 450 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of a guy? So I find respect 451 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: in that. But the movie is so accurate of what 452 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: actually happened in his life. So even if you go 453 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: back and watch some documentaries about Steven Spielberg, read his interviews, 454 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: all of this stuff he has talked about throughout his life, 455 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: and he has just put it all into a movie 456 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: and embellished some things to make it a little bit 457 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: more cinematic. But all of the themes of regarding his family, 458 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: regarding how he got into filmmaking, regarding his parents divorce, 459 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: all of that actually happened so almost seen for seeing. 460 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: Plotline for plotline, you are learning about Steven Spielberg's life, 461 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: and the movie starts with him as a kid, his 462 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: parents going to take him to his very first movie ever, 463 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: and that is kind of where his passion and first begins. 464 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: His parents take him to watch The Greatest Show on Earth, 465 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: and that's where it all starts, and that is actually 466 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: the first movie that Steven Spielberg ever watched, and as 467 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: a kid, he was so enthralled by it, and his 468 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: mom is very encouraging of his passion for making movies, 469 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: but his dad is not. He is an electrical engineer, 470 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: and throughout the entire movie you see this team come 471 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: up again and again because his dad doesn't want him 472 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: focusing on movies. He keeps calling it a hobby, makes 473 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: it sound very insulting, and it is hard for Sammy 474 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: in the movie to form a relationship with his dad 475 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: because he really just makes so little of his passion 476 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: and he doesn't see that he is trying to make 477 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: this his goal in life, like this is what he 478 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: was set out to do. Even though he's a good dad, 479 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: he is a really involved dad, tries to be there, 480 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: he just doesn't really get it because he is this 481 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: very straight laced engineer guy. So I found that relationship 482 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: throughout the entire movie to be do You interesting. I 483 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: feel like it would be kind of if you made 484 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: this movie today, it would be a kid wanting to 485 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: be a YouTuber and their parents being like, well, you 486 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: can't really do much with YouTube, so you should really 487 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: kind of go to college and focus on studies. And 488 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, YouTube is just a hobby, but now we 489 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: see it is possible. So back in the day, filmmaking 490 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: was probably YouTube now, even though I still hope that 491 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: the kids out there who want to be filmmakers, and 492 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I would highly encourage if you do have a kid 493 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: who is interested in making movies, interested in making YouTube videos, 494 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: they should definitely watch this movie. I wish this movie 495 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: came out when I was ten years old. Around that age, 496 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to be 497 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: a film director. I remember my brother had this old 498 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: VHS recorder video camera and we would make movies oftentimes 499 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: like Kung Fu movies, horror movies. And then later in 500 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: life I was able to get like a DV camera 501 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: with those little small tapes, and I would make movies, 502 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: and it was always kind of my passion. I would 503 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: kind of follow and I wanted to do, but I 504 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: realized how hard it was, and I also didn't really 505 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: have anybody around me telling me that it was a 506 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: possible thing to do. And it all kind of comes 507 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: back to Sammy in this movie and how all of 508 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: these things in his life are very chaotic as the 509 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: movie progresses. In the very start of this movie, he 510 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: has a very picturesque portrait of a family, almost like 511 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: it looks too perfect. But as you go through the movie, 512 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: things start to get more and more difficult and more 513 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: and more real, and you start to realize all the 514 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: problems that they actually have and how the relationship changes 515 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: between his parents. So in a way, filmmaking is kind 516 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: of the only constant that Sammy has in the movie 517 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: because it is the only thing he can really control. 518 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: And man, have I not related to something so bold 519 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: in a movie before, whether it be doing podcasts or 520 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: me doing comedy or doing anything creative. When I feel 521 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: like in my life oftentimes it is anxiety that just 522 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: ruins everything good in my life. But I feel like 523 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: if I can have some kind of control over something 524 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: where I am dictating things. It makes me feel in control. 525 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: So doing this podcast writing jokes for me, that is 526 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: me being able to control things in my life. And 527 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: I think that is why I gravitate towards my passions. 528 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: So seeing that depicted in a movie like this, I 529 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: was like wow, and I just felt like, hey, I 530 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: have something in common with Steven Spielberg. This movie looks 531 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot different than any other Steven Spielberg movie, and 532 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: with a subject like this being based on his life, 533 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: you feel like it could be so self indulgent, and 534 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: I think that's partially why he didn't call it just 535 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: a straight on biopic autobiography. But the thing about Steven Spielberg, 536 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: he always has the viewer in mind, and this movie 537 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: reminded me of that because the movie does cover him 538 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: as a teenager making movies, and it shows that entire 539 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: process of getting the camera, talking about the film, showing 540 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: the editing process, and to a normal viewer, maybe that 541 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: would be kind of boring. I could see how easily 542 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: you can make a movie like that, and we would 543 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: be very boring. But that entire process he makes feel 544 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: so magical. And I think my favorite parts in this 545 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: movie were the moments where he was filming a movie, 546 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: editing a movie, and then you see the final product 547 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: and just knowing that Steven Spielberg took a risk on 548 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: that but completely nailed it, and you really learned a 549 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: lot about what shaped him as a director, how he 550 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: tried to make things interesting, and how innovative he was 551 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: even as a teenager. I think one of my favorite 552 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: scenes again was during that filmmaking process. He was making 553 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: this kind of shootout western movie, and during the editing process, 554 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: he realized that some of the gunshots didn't seem accurate. 555 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: He's like, that looks fake. No one's gonna buy that 556 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: because it looks fake. And then he figures out and 557 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: gets inspired on how to make that gunshots look accurate. 558 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: And I thought that little detail was perfect in this movie. 559 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: So it shows that he had that passion early on, 560 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: even while making these very very low budget, rudimentary films, 561 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: he already had the vision. He was on his way 562 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: to become Steven Spielberg. And then you get into the 563 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: actors in this movie. Paul Dano was great, and you 564 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: just see the range on him. He is one of 565 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: my favorite actors. I mean to go from playing the 566 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: Riddler and the Batman to the father in this movie 567 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: just shows that he really has no restrictions on what 568 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: he can do. He can be a convincing father and 569 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: he can be an all out psychotic villain. I love 570 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: Paul Dano as the casting choice of the dad in 571 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: this movie. Michelle Williams, who is another treasure, I think, 572 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: gives one of her best performances of her career. She'll 573 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: easily be nominated for Best Actress. So I don't think 574 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: that's the stretch and saying that, but I think she 575 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: could finally win an Oscar with this performance. I think 576 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: she gave the best one out of anybody in this cast. 577 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: Also have to mention Seth Rogan. I haven't mentioned his 578 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: performance in this and how cool of him to be 579 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: able to get into a Steven Spielberg movie and you 580 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: kind of forget that he's a really good actor. I know, 581 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: we just associate him with comedies, and even though his 582 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: character is funny in this movie, he really proved to 583 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: me that he has those acting chops as well and 584 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: can stand up with people like Michelle Williams and Paul 585 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: Dano and not look out of place. You also have 586 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: Gabriel LaBelle as the young Steven Spielberg, who is a 587 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 1: really great new talent. I thought he also did an 588 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: excellent job in this movie. And then you have Steven 589 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: Spielberg as director. Again, I don't think it's a stretch 590 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 1: in saying that he will be nominated for Best Director, 591 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: probably win that one, but I think The Fableman's easily 592 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: has a shot at winning Best Picture this year. And 593 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: even at the two and a half hour range, I 594 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: thought I would have been a little bit tired of 595 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: a movie that's really just a coming of age story, 596 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: a family drama. Very rarely does a movie like that 597 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: to me worn a two and a half hour runtime. 598 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: But I have to tell you, I did not want 599 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: this movie to end. It was so magical, visually so 600 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: appealing to me. It's like candy for the eyes. It's 601 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: like chicken soup for the soul. You know, those old 602 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: poetry books from back in the day. It is all 603 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: the things that I look for in a movie. I 604 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: will say, the only thing I wish this movie would 605 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: have had, and the thing I thought it was going 606 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more about, was him as 607 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: a kid. And at the start of the movie it 608 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: does focus on him using his siblings as subject in 609 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: his films, and I found that part of the movie 610 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: to be so heartwarming. It had a little bit more 611 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: of a comedic tone, so I think if it had 612 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: more of that, I would have said it was a 613 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: completely perfect movie. So if I had to give this 614 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: movie a rating, it is so close to being perfect. 615 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: But I give it four point five out of five 616 00:33:53,360 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: Film reels for the fable Bans, It's time ahead down 617 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 1: the movie Mike Paul continuing the theme of Steven Spielberg, 618 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: let's talk about Indiana Jones in the Dial of Destiny, 619 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: which Disney just dropped the trailer to this. It's coming 620 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: out in theaters on June. It is Harrison Ford back 621 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: as Indiana Jones in the fifth installment of this franchise, 622 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: and not only that, it is going to be his 623 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: last time ever to play Indiana Jones. And I think 624 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: above all else, I just love a finale in a movie, franchise, 625 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: finale to anything. Really, I just love a finale. It 626 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: can even be to a TV show that I've never 627 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: seen a single episode of, but I just want to 628 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: tune in to find out how they decided to wrap 629 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: up an entire franchise. So I think going into this 630 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: that's kind of why I'm excited about this Indiana Jones movie, 631 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: because it's cool to see Harrison Ford at eighty years old, 632 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: still playing one of the most iconic characters of all time. 633 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: And I think after watching this trailer, I can find 634 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: myself really enjoying this movie and quite possibly being my 635 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: favorite one they've ever made, because it has all of 636 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: those elements working towards it. I just love an epic conclusion. 637 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about it, but here is just 638 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of the Indiana Jones and the Dial 639 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: of Destiny trailer. I don't believe in magic, but a 640 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: few times in my life for seen things things I 641 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: can't explain, I've come to believe it's not so much 642 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: what you believe, it's so hard to believe it. There's 643 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: that epic score. Just hearing that in this trailer, it 644 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: makes you feel a little warm and fuzzy inside. Makes 645 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: me feel like a kid again. And I think it's 646 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: just seeing Harrison Ford back in the iconic hat with 647 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: the whip and seeing him in action in this and 648 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 1: knowing that he really worked hard to be a part 649 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 1: of this movie. He even saw some injuries while making 650 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: this movie, so just credit to him. I think he 651 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: is the national treasure and one we really need to 652 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: value and protect at all costs. Because of all the epic, 653 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: iconic characters he has done in his lifetime, Indiana Jones 654 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: would probably be enough for just one person, one role 655 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: to be remembered by, but he has that. He has 656 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: Star Wars, he has Blade Runner. The list goes on 657 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: and on of all these most famous movies that he 658 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: has been in and continues to do so seeing him 659 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: come back and wrap it up and wearing the hat 660 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: for one last time really makes this movie an event. 661 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: And that is what I'm all about. I'm all about 662 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: movies that can create a spectacle. And that's even though 663 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg isn't directing this movie. It's the first film 664 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: in the franchise that neither he has directed or the 665 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: story has been written by George Lucas. Spielberg and Lucas 666 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: just served as executive producers on this movie, which is 667 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: still important, so I still feel like he is still 668 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: attached to it. He was directing it at one point, 669 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: but now it is directed by James Mangold, who has 670 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: also done movies like Copland Girl interrupted walk the Line 671 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,479 Speaker 1: the Wolverine and Logan in twenty seventeen. So I feel 672 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: like we're in good hands here with him. And in 673 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: this movie we find Indiana Jones and what appears to 674 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: be the same kind of format we've seen throughout the franchise, 675 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: and now he is said on this mysterious artifact, the 676 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: Dial of Destiny, which presumably possesses some power to change 677 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: the world. You have him fighting the Nazis again in 678 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: this movie, and the movie seems to be focused on 679 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: his character kind of getting sucked back into another adventure 680 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: with some new faces along the way. And Harrison Ford 681 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: himself said that the movie has a lot of mystery, 682 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: it has a lot of adventure, which is expected, but 683 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: maybe this movie has the most heart out of any 684 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: installment in the franchise to date. And I think that 685 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: is what I am the most invested about and curious 686 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: about in this movie. I think whenever he returned to 687 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: some of his biggest franchises in recent years, like Star Wars, 688 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: like Blade Runner, that is kind of the moment I 689 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: looked for. It's kind of that cross between the movies 690 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: we grew up with and now as adults later in 691 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: our life that we really identify with, and I think 692 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: that's what's going to make this movie special and what's 693 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: going to make it memorable, and I hope it goes 694 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: out on a high note. The interesting thing that I 695 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: was looking forward to seeing, and we got a glimpse 696 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: of it in this trailer, was the d aging technology 697 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: they used on Harrison Ford and some of the flashback scenes. 698 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: They make them look like the younger Indiana Jones that 699 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: we know from the other movies, and I thought it 700 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: actually looked really good, some of the best use of 701 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: that technology that I've seen in just that brief little 702 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: screenshot moment from the trailer. But in some other movies 703 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: it hasn't been completely right. I remember watching The Irishman 704 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: where they used that technology a lot on Robert de 705 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: Niro felt it looked a little bit cartoonish and kind 706 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: of took me out of that movie. But I think 707 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: they have it down now, so it doesn't seem like 708 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: Disney is cutting any quarters on this movie. Again. Indiana 709 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: Jones and the Dial of Destiny comes out on June. 710 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: It's sure to crush so many summer box office records 711 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: next year. Just don't try to go to all out 712 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: and show up to the movie theater with your old whip. 713 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: This links edition of Movie Law and that's going to 714 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: do it for another episode here of the podcast.
