1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I am

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: a movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Destro

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: that's Mike d E E. S t r oh. And

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: today I am talking about the greatest musical scenes in movies,

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: according to me, because of what happened to me is

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I heard a song on the radio the other day

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: and immediately I didn't think of the artist. I didn't

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: think of the actual song. I thought of the movie

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: I associated with. So what I did is I went

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: through a lot of my favorite movies and picked songs

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: that I thought were just used so well in the

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: movie that I identify them with the movie more so

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: than the actual song. So I'll get into that. I

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: also have the top five highest grossing movie franchises of

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: all time because I am currently rewatching all of the

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Star Wars movies and I just kind of realized just

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: how well done those movies were for being released back

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: in like the seventies and eighties, and how they just

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: crushed it at the box office. So I just wanted

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: to see overall where they ranked on the top five

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: movie franchises of all time. I also tell you what

22
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: my favorites are and I will get into my review

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: of Little Women, which was the last on my list

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: of Best Picture nominees to see and probably the one

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I waited the longest to see just because I didn't

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: think I would like it that much, so I would

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: give my thoughts on that. Again. Just thanks for hitting

Speaker 1: a part of the podcast. So let's get into this

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: week's episode without further ado. Let's get started. In a

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one

41
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast, A man with so much

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: movie knowledge. He's basically like a walking on it MTV,

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: which rise from the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast.

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: So today I wanted to share with you guys, but

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: I think are the greatest musical scenes in movies ever.

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: So this is all of my own personal taste. There's

48
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: no statistics in this really because the other day I

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: was driving and I heard this song come on the radio,

50
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: and I'll get to it later in my list, but

51
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: immediately I associated with a movie rather than the actual band,

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: and I just thought this scene was just so iconic

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: in this movie. And I found it interesting that this

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: song wasn't written for the movie. It was just a

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: song they picked for this scene. So what I did

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: was I compiled this entire list of just songs that

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: were used in movies not written for the movie, because

58
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: there is a difference because their songs like um Lose

59
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: Yourself is by Eminem, So that song was written by

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: Eminem for the movie eight Mile, or Selene Dion my lot,

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: my heart will go on, excuse me, that song was

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: written specifically for Titanic, or even something like I've Had

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: the Time of my Life, which was in Dirty Dancing,

64
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: And they came to those songwriters and was like, we

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: had this movie called Dirty Dancing, we want you to

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: write a song for it could potentially change your life.

67
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: They wrote that song, made a demo for it. It

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: got put into like a stack of demos that they

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: were going through picking songs for the movie, and they

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: filmed that entire movie out of sequence. So actually the

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: final scene in that which where this song is playing,

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: it was the first thing they ended up filming didn't

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: have the song at the time, and then they used

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: that demo and we're like, it was the last thing

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: that they found in a stack of just all these tapes,

76
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and they were like, that's perfect. But that song was

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: written with the attention of it being in a movie

78
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: called Dirty Dancing. So what I took was songs famously

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: used in movie bes and big scenes that we weren't

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: written for it. They just happened to be placed into

81
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the movie and later gained popularity because of the movie.

82
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: So the song I heard on the radio was the Pixies.

83
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Where is My Mind? Here's a little bit of the Pixies.

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: So I hear this song come on and immediately I

85
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: think of the movie Fight Globe. So this is the

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: song and here it is used in the movie Fight Club.

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Trust Me, Everything's gonna be fun. You met me had

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: a very strange time in my life. We didn't see

89
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: such a great scene. If you haven't seen Fight Club,

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a cult classic. You got Edward Norton,

91
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, and this scene is just I think one

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: of the best scenes ever paired with the song. And

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: it was written on and released on the band's first album,

94
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: and it was never released as a single, but after

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: it was used in this scene in the movie, it

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of helped the Pixies be introduced to a whole

97
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: new audience because they're like kind of like me. When

98
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: I heard the song, I was like, who is that band?

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: And then I started listening to the Pixies after that.

100
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: You just look at one frame of this scene, um

101
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: with the scene of Edward Norton and Helen Bombham Carter

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: like holding hands where the entire world is just collapsing

103
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: in front of him, and I could just see that

104
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: picture and immediately associate that song with this movie. So

105
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: that's why I throw it in here. We didn't another one.

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: I was thinking of one of my favorite Martin scores

107
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: aging movies as Good Fellas, which he had The Irishman

108
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: last year. It's up for some of words, but I

109
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: think Good Fellows is just his masterpiece. But there's a

110
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: scene in the movie where they just pull off this

111
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: huge heist and then there's like this falling aftermath action

112
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: and this song plays. Jimmy was cutting every link between

113
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: himself and the robbery, but it had nothing to do

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: with me. So Martin Scorsese he actually planned out this

115
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: entire sequence, like with this song specifically in mind, but

116
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't written for the movie, and he even like

117
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: synchronized like every single part of this scene to the song.

118
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: The weird thing about this song though, is also the

119
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: part we know is this piano part. Like it's actually

120
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: a much more rocking song. So it's written by Eric

121
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Clapton and Jim Gordon and it was released by Derek

122
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: and the Domino. So what the song sounds like from

123
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: the beginning is this. So it's a pretty straightforward rock

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: song and then it kind of gets into this piano breakdown.

125
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Martin Scores says, you to hear this song and to know, like,

126
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: I want that breakdown piano part to be in the movie.

127
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: So here's where it breaks down in the song, and

128
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: there it is the part we know, and Goodfellas just

129
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: right there, like maybe four minutes to the song, because

130
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: it's like a seven minute song. I just thought that's

131
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: interesting in a really great use of music in a movie.

132
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: And that scene is pretty iconic just because it's the

133
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: really the fall and the aftermath in that movie from

134
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: When All the Times Are Good. Um, if you don't know,

135
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: good Fellow's about based on a true story about Henry

136
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Hill and his involvement with organized crime, and at the

137
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: point where this song plays is where everything starts going wrong.

138
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: So pretty cool to know how that song sync up

139
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: with that movie and how they took just the middle

140
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: of that song and made it so iconic. Next up

141
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: on my list is a song that the only reason

142
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I know this song is because of this movie. Probably

143
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: I would say one of the saddest scenes ever in

144
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: a movie. Now I am Mexican American, and maybe it's

145
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: because the character and this is also a Mexican American

146
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: that I kind of identify more with this movie than

147
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: anybody else. But I would have to encourage you if

148
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: you haven't seen this movie. It is on Netflix now.

149
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: And every time I hear this song, I get sad,

150
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: even if it's out of context from this movie. But

151
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: it's a scene that still gets me. While I was

152
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: even loading the clip for this podcast, I generally got

153
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: sad again. Um, the song gets called Sleepwalk and it's

154
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: by Santo and Johnny. It's an instrumental and here it is.

155
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: But the movie is La Bamba, which is about the

156
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: life of Richie Valence. It gets me right there, but

157
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: here it is used in the movie. I'm gonna try

158
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: to not cry while this clip is playing. No not rich,

159
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: never stop Rich. I am weeping in the studio right now.

160
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: But this song was written by Santo and Johnny as

161
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: an instrumental, and they had like lyrics for this song,

162
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: but they decided just not to use them because that,

163
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean, just that still guitar in that is really

164
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: what kind of just it's so sad, and the acoustic

165
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: guitars in this it gets you. But that song, crazily enough,

166
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: an instrumental went to number one on the Billboard Top

167
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: forty back in August of nineteen fifty nine. I've never

168
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: really heard of an instrumental going number one. But of course,

169
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: the most heartbreaking part in this entire sequence is when

170
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: his brother Bob breaks down and screamed the name of

171
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: his brother and that is a lot of bombay ladies

172
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Again one of my favorite movies and just overall,

173
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the saddest scenes ever in a movie.

174
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: R I p ritchie Vallens. Alright, So next up on

175
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: my list is a little movie called Wayne's World. You

176
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: know the song but he Me and rap City from

177
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: Queen This real is this just fatside escape from reality?

178
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: And here it is used in the movie. I think

179
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: we'll go with a little Bohemian rhapsody gentlemen, good call,

180
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: I see a little silhouette of a man, So there

181
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: it is. The song originally came out in nineteen seventy five,

182
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: and it gained popularity again with this movie in because

183
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: once it hit theaters like the song re entered the

184
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Billboard Hot one hundred and it ended up peeking at

185
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: number two, just behind Jumped by Criss Cross. But it

186
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: did it again in when the movie Boheman Raptidi came out.

187
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: So it's one of the only songs that is peaked

188
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: in three different decades and the seventies, the nineties, and

189
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: again in the tense. Crazy thing Also about the scene

190
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: in the movie is that if you watch close enough.

191
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: Dana Carvey, who plays Garth, he doesn't know the lyrics

192
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: to this song, so whenever they kind of moved to

193
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: him in some like parts, he's just kind of moving

194
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: his lips and like banging his head along because he

195
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't learn the lyrics before they filmed the scene. So again,

196
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: the opening scene in the movie took a total of

197
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: ten hours, mainly because he didn't know the lyrics. And

198
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: then by the end of it, all the actors complained

199
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: that they had nick pain because their head banging throughout

200
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: the entire scene. So um, they had to do so

201
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: many takes just to get that right. But I kind

202
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: of went back and watched it and I do pick

203
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: up on it. I also noticed a lot that they

204
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of just showed the car driving, so I wonder

205
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: if a lot of it was just done in editing

206
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: because they couldn't really get the lyrics to sink up

207
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: very well. And I have one more on my list,

208
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: and what I think is just a very underrated movie

209
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: starring Ryan Gosling. It's called Drive, where he plays like

210
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: a getaway driver who gets into like a really bad situation. Um,

211
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: he gets this girlfriend who has a kid, and I

212
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: think one of the most underrated movies of like the

213
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: last ten years or so. It came out inn and

214
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: there's a scene in the movie where all he does

215
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: is takes his girlfriend and their kid for a drive.

216
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: So here it is used in the movie I want

217
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: to see something. Yeah, okay, but it's just such a

218
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: like calming, peaceful scene and what Otherwise it's kind of

219
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: a crazy, chaotic, kind of ominous movie. Um and just

220
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: this scene kind of ties it together and creates a

221
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: really special moment. So the song is by College featuring

222
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: a electric youth, and here it is from the start

223
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: of the hook. So what they're saying in the chorus

224
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: here is a real human being and a real hero.

225
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: And it's because this song was actually inspired by Captain

226
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Sully and him landing that plane on the Hudson. And

227
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: there are other lyrics in the song that kind of

228
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: revealed that I didn't know that about this song until

229
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: I was doing some research on it. But there's another

230
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: part where the lyrics are a pilot, a pilot on

231
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: a cold morning, fifty five people on board. Would you

232
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: just straight up about that incident? So what it was

233
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: is he had a conversation with his grandfather and who

234
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: was telling him about Captain Sully and how he thought

235
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: he was just the hero, and there's the line. So yeah,

236
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: he just had a conversation with his grandfather who was

237
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: just so kind of in awe of the heroic thing

238
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that Captain Sully did. And then he took that and

239
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: made that song about it. So the song wasn't written

240
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: for the movie Drive. It was put out maybe two

241
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: years before the movie came out. Ryan Gosling and one

242
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: of the editors on the movie approached the Drive director

243
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: with this song and like, hey, we should feature this

244
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: song into the movie. So they eventually used it in

245
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: that sequence and what they ended up doing in that

246
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: movie was like a really scent heavy, kind of eighties

247
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: feel on all the music in it. So again, a

248
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: really cool movie, a really great musical moment that I

249
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: thought and still think about all the time just how

250
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: perfectly that fit in that scene. Also just the movie

251
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I kind of recommend you go and watch if you're

252
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: a fan of Ryan Gosling. I think one of his

253
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: wrongest movies. There's also a recent musical moment that I

254
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: was going to include in this list, and it was

255
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: one that actually kind of got some backlash on So

256
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: you might know the song called rock and Roll apart two.

257
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: It's by Gary Glitter, who is actually a pretty awful

258
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: human being. He's currently serving sixteen years in prison for

259
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: abusing three girls. And the movie that used it was

260
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Joker in the scene where he's like dancing down the stairs,

261
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic scenes in film history, I

262
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: would say recently, and they kind of got some backlash

263
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: just because of how bad a guy, this Gary Glitter

264
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: guy is and using his song in a really big

265
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: movie was just seen as a little untasteful, which I agree.

266
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: You could probably pick a different song for this movie

267
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: just given the context of it. But what I do

268
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: like about it is that it's at a point in

269
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: the movie. Again I'm not gonna spoil anything, but it's

270
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: kind of when he comes the Joker, and I think

271
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: the contrast of how dramatic that scene is to where

272
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: how kind of uplifting this song is. It is a

273
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: tactic I really like to see us in movies where

274
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: it's just really sad in a down in the dumps

275
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: kind of part of the movie, but you put an

276
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: uplifting song under it, and it just creates like this

277
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: whole iconic scene of like, oh man, this is really

278
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: a disturbed guy to where he just committed a really

279
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: awful crime, but in his head he hears a cheerful

280
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: song like this and feels like dancing. So again, I

281
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: think they probably could have picked a different song, but

282
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: I do like just the contrast and the moment it

283
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: created in the movie. Um, it's a movie. It's a

284
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: song now that I kind of associate with that movie

285
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: because of that recent controversy. But again, they probably could

286
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: have picked a different song because Gary Glitter not a

287
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: good dude. He's saying prison for a re a long time. Alright.

288
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: So that is what I think are the greatest musical

289
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: scenes in movies. If you want to hit me with

290
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: your own what you think it's the best use of

291
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: a song and one of your favorite movies, just send

292
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: me a tweet or send me an Instagram message at

293
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: Mike Distro. Alright, So now I want to get into

294
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: the list of the top five highest grossing movie franchises

295
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: of all time. I thought about this because right now

296
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: I am rewatching all of the Star Wars movies. I

297
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: just got through Return of the Jedi. It just kind

298
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: of occurred to me how big of an impact those

299
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: movies had at that time, and how they just dominated

300
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: the box office unlike anything before and until recently, we're

301
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: like the highest grossing movies until another franchise came along,

302
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: which I'll get into. I wanted to kind of take

303
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: a look at what ranks up there with those movies.

304
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: So at number five it is Batman, with a total

305
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: number of eleven movies and a gross in the United

306
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: States of three point five billion dollars as about three

307
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars per movie. The biggest movie in

308
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: this franchise was The Dark Night. So this includes all

309
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: of the Batman movies, the original ones, the Dark Knight series,

310
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: and even like the spinoffs now with like Suicide Squad

311
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. It's kind of interesting

312
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: to see the evolution of Batman because he started out

313
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: really comic book heavy. Those movies were just a little

314
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: more cartoony, aside from the very first one with Jack

315
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Nicholson as a joker, like there was the use of

316
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: guns in that movie, a little more violent, but in

317
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: like the nineties, they were just more comic book style

318
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: and even like a little more goofy with like Jim

319
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: Carey as the Riddler. But it wasn't until like Christopher

320
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: Nolan came around and started directing the you know, The

321
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Dark Knight series that really just changed the game, not

322
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: only for Batman, but for comic book movies as a whole,

323
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: because they were really just taken more seriously. So it's

324
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: just kind of cool to see how they really legitimized

325
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: the comic book movie, where some movies you don't even

326
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: see them as the comic book movie, like The Dark Knight.

327
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: That's just a great movie all around. And I'm interested

328
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: to see how Robert Pattinson kind of takes on playing Batman.

329
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully they get that right. At number four, you got

330
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: Harry Potter with a total gross in the United States

331
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: if three point five nine billion total number of eleven movies,

332
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: which is about three twenty six point five million per movie,

333
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: and the biggest movie in that was the first one,

334
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Harry Potter. And The Sorcerer's Stone comes from the book series,

335
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: which the book on its own was just a global phenomenon.

336
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: Who J. K. Rowling was at one point nearly homeless,

337
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: like living in her car, and became the highest paid

338
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: author in the world. And these movies really reison resonated

339
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: with me because I was a kid when these movies

340
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: were coming out, and I kind of grew up with

341
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: the characters and the whole like Wizarding World of Harry

342
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: Potter is just like a really big escape for kids

343
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: and almost nostalgic now. And I'm kind of curious to

344
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: see how they kind of continue this franchise on because

345
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: aside from the other franchise in this list, they're not

346
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: making new Harry Potter movies. They're doing like some prequels

347
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: with like The Fantastic Beasts, which also are included in

348
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: this total. But I'm curious to when the discussion begins

349
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: of a rebooting the original Harry Potter movies because the

350
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: first one came out in two thousand one, and now

351
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: we're in nineteen years after that, and right now you

352
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: have just movies being made all the freaking time, and

353
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: I just think it's a matter of time before they

354
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of like maybe approached Dake careality of like, hey,

355
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: what do you think about rebooting this series? Which I

356
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: don't really know what a reboot of this would look like,

357
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: but it just seems like there's so much money kind

358
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: of being lost here or untapped to where I just

359
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: think they're going to have to do something eventually, a

360
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: retelling of the stories, or maybe just a prequel with

361
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Harry Potter based on the books. I would like to

362
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: see that a number three. You got the James Bond

363
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: franchise with the total growth of five point eight nine

364
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the United States, a total number of

365
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: twenty five movies, which is an average of two and

366
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: thirty five point six million per movie, the biggest movie

367
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: in the franchise being Thunderball. And for me, the James

368
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: Bond movies is really a franchise that I just don't

369
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: really get. They're not really for me. Um, I just

370
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: o seeymore James Bond now with the video game Golden I,

371
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: which was on Nintendo sixty four, which was where I

372
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: spent most of my time with anything with James Bond.

373
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: But even like the new ones, UM, No Time to

374
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Die comes out on April ten, which will be Daniel

375
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: Craig's last time playing James Bond, and there's plans to

376
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: do more after him. Overall, I just think it's not

377
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: that great of a franchise, mainly because so many of

378
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: these came out in like the sixties and seventies, so

379
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: a little before my time, and I didn't really find

380
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: the reboots with Daniel Craig to be that great to me.

381
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: So with everything in the top five, I think this

382
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: is one that's not really worth investing a lot of

383
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: time in, especially with twenty five movies in this And

384
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: then at number two you get The Star Wars making

385
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: six point eight seven billion dollars in the United States

386
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: with a total number of eleven movies, which comes out

387
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: to about six hundred and twenty four point seven million

388
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: dollars per movie, the biggest movie being The First School

389
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: in Star Wars and New Hope Now the original one

390
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: was released in nineteen seventies seven, and I rewatching all

391
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: these right now, which really holds up not only story

392
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: wise but visually, like the special effects and it don't

393
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: look like they are from the seventies. I like that

394
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: they really used real props, they made real puppets for

395
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the movie, and it doesn't feel like I'm watching a

396
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: movie from the seventies, even the acting and the characters

397
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: in it. I feel like you can kind of put

398
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: that out maybe ten years ago and you wouldn't really

399
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: notice the difference. So I just finished Return of the Jedi,

400
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: where they kind of get a little more ambitious with

401
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: the c g I and kind of go away a

402
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: little bit more from using puppets. So the next Star

403
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: Wars movie won't come out until two and that's about

404
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: all that we know about it. I'm am curious to

405
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: where they take the franchise from here on out and

406
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: if they will ever come close to being in that

407
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: top slot again. Because at number one, the highest grossing

408
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: movie franchise is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a total

409
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: gross of eight point eight billion dollars in the United States,

410
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: a total number of twenty three movies, which is an

411
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: average growth of three and eighty five point nine million

412
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: dollars per movie, the biggest movie being Avengers End Game.

413
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: So there's a bit of a distinction you need to

414
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: make here. So the Marvel Cinematic Universe is all the

415
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: Avengers movies, Iron Man thor so. Anybody you see in

416
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: an Avengers movie is who's falls under the umbrella of

417
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: the m c U. But there are actually other Marvel

418
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: franchises that make the top ten list, because at number

419
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: seven you have X Men, and at number six you

420
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: have Spider Man, which are franchises within themselves because what

421
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: Marvel did initially is they license out their comic book

422
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: characters to other movie studios. So they sold the rights

423
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: of X Men to Fox, and they initially sold the

424
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: rights to Spider Man to Sony. So all of the

425
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: X Men movies and stuff like Fantastic Four, those movies

426
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: all fall with under their their Marvel comics, but the

427
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: rights are sold to Fox. So that's why you would

428
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: never see Wolverine in the Avengers, and while a lot

429
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: of the battle right now going on with Spider Man

430
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: because Sony still owns Spider Man and they licensed him

431
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: to the m c U a k a. Disney once

432
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: Disney bought them to use him in the Marvel movies.

433
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: But why also, White Spider Man probably won't stay with

434
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: the Marvel forever because it's pretty expensive to keep him around.

435
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: But there it is. Those are the top five highest

436
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: grossing movie franchises of all time. If I had to

437
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: pick a favorite, it would easily be the Marvel Cinematic Universe,

438
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: just because there's twenty three movies to pick from, and

439
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm a big Marvel fan. I've seen every single one

440
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: start to finish. But if I had to go number two. Now,

441
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't consider myself a Star Wars fan, but kind

442
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: of going back and watching these movies, it's kind of

443
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: reigniting my love for Star Wars. And I think I

444
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: would still be unfair for me to call myself a

445
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: true diehard Star Wars fan, But seeing these original movies again,

446
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: it kind of gives you that feeling of like, oh man,

447
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: this is so brand new, this is cool. They were

448
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: so innovative at this time. I would easily rank that

449
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: as my top two franchise, and then what I would

450
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: probably put as number three would be the Harry Potter movies.

451
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, those are the top five highest gross

452
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: movie franchises of all time. All Right, I want to

453
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: get into my movie review now of Little Women, which

454
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: is up for six Oscars, and it was the last

455
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: movie on my list of Best Picture nominees to see,

456
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: and I just put it off for a while just

457
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: because I didn't know that the movie would be for me. Um.

458
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: So I'll get into that here in a second. But

459
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: it's directed by Greta Gerwig based on the novel Little Women. Um.

460
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: She also did Ladybirds, so you'll see searcher Ronan, who's

461
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: also in this movie, was in Ladybird if you've seen that.

462
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: But here is a clip of Little Women. I'm holy

463
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: and I'm awkward, and and you'd be ashamed of and

464
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: we would quarrel because we can't help it. Even now,

465
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I'd hate elegant society. You'd hate my scribbling, and we

466
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: would be unhappy and we wish we hadn't done it,

467
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: and everything will be horrid. So right away, going into

468
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: this movie, I knew that the cast was pretty stacked.

469
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: You got Searcher Ronan, Timothy Shalomi who plays the neighbor

470
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: in this Emma Watson from the Harry Potter movies, and

471
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff. Laura Dern plays the mom,

472
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: Meryl Street plays the ont and you got Bob oden Kirk.

473
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: Just a bunch of people in this movie was really

474
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: just strong acting talent, and I thought the story was great.

475
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: Started a little bit slow. So basically what it does

476
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: is it follows the life of this poor family during

477
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: the Civil War, so it kind of goes through all

478
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: four of the sisters who get their own plot line

479
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: throughout the movie, and it overall just felt really real

480
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: and authentic. The thing about it, though, is it feels

481
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: kind of like a play, which this movie was. You know,

482
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: it's been done in play for him before, and I

483
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: don't think that it's overly dramatic, but it's very theatrical,

484
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: and I think that for me kind of takes a

485
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: little bit away from it because when I see like

486
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: just theatrical acting, it's harder for me to connect with

487
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: the characters because I kind of am aware that they're acting.

488
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: And it's also just a little bit confusing because throughout

489
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the movie it shifts chronologically. It goes from present day

490
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: to kind of back into their lives, so it'll happen

491
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: whatever is happening now in their lives, it will go

492
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: to a scene and maybe like a few years ago,

493
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: which was a little confusing for me because it's kind

494
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: of hard to distinguish um aside from like, oh they

495
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: look slightly different or maybe they kind of changed the

496
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: tone or the feel of the look at the movie,

497
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit hard to pick up on

498
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: while you're watching. So maybe about halfway through I felt

499
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: this movie really just started to shine through where the

500
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: story just kind of grabbed me because it's about like

501
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the struggles of women during that time and their ability

502
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 1: to live their lives kind of without a man, and

503
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: how it was so hard for them just to struggle

504
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: to find a career to where they could support themselves

505
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: and without worrying about having to marry somebody who's going

506
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: to make enough money to be able to live a

507
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: comfortable lifestyle at that time. And the main character, Searchernin,

508
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: is kind of just battling this idea of being kind

509
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: of lonely because she doesn't want to, you know, just

510
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: do what everybody says and be only fit for a

511
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: marriage and love, and she didn't want her worth to

512
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: be measured by who she finds as a husband. And

513
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: I felt overall this movie was just a little bit

514
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: sad too unexpectedly, there was a lot of sobs in

515
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: the theater. There is some humor in it, but again,

516
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: like I said, the acting is just so theatrical that

517
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: I didn't find it really funny. I didn't laugh throughout

518
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: this movie. Other people were laughing, and it just wasn't

519
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: my kind of sense of humor. Um. I thought it

520
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: was shot beautifully, the cinematography and this is great. It's

521
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: just overall a very artsy movie, maybe too arty for me,

522
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: maybe my taste just isn't refined enough to really enjoy

523
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: this movie. It's very dramatic, which I liked. It's just

524
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: the talking sometimes the accents kind of takes me away

525
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: from connecting with the characters. So it's not that it's

526
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: a it's not a bad movie. It's a really great story.

527
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: It's really well done. I just think specifically for me,

528
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: I like the story that we're connected with with women

529
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: and the struggles of just everyday people in that time period.

530
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: How they also kind of reflect the times of now.

531
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: I really like that part an element of this movie.

532
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: I think just the overall artsiness of it made me

533
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of loose that a little bit on this movie.

534
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: So I give it three point five out of five

535
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: course sets, and I will stick to my idea that

536
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it will win for Best Picture, although

537
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: it's nominated. I think Greta Gerwig is a great director

538
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: and she should have been nominated for Best Director this

539
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: year because I really loved all the characters in this here.

540
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: Sharonin was great, Timothy Shallow may what a dreamy guy,

541
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: and Emma Watson was also really good in it. But

542
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: I think maybe just way down the line where it's

543
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: streaming and watch it then. So those are my thoughts

544
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: and review on Little Women. All right, and that's the

545
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: episode for this week. Before I hop out of here,

546
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: I gotta give my Instagram shout out of the week

00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,280
