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

16
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

17
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast, a man with so

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: Movie Podcast, So.

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: We're about to get into our best and worst of

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the month. But we'll talk about what you addressed earlier.

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: You heard your foot, I did what happened let everybody.

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Know it's really lame. I really need to come up

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: with a better story. I was making our bed and

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: I ran into one of the bedposts.

27
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: With my left foot, and what is broken?

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: My third metatarsal? Your Tozier falangees and then like the long.

29
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Bones blangies just sounds made up to me. I think

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: of friends Regina falange Yes.

31
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Or bridesmaids when they're like, there's something wrong with the

32
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: left falangy. There's no that's friends still because Phoebe calls

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: it the falangy and I walked on it for a week.

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: We did not know that it was broken.

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: Ah your marathon. When I was running from mile twenty

36
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: to the finish line, it.

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Was broken and it felt bad.

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I still would have done it anyways. I'm

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: so stubborn even if I had the boot on. Yeah.

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: Now I'm in a boot for six weeks, two weeks

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: in slightly losing my mind because I can't I can't

42
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: go for a walk, I can't go work out.

43
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: So we've had plenty of time to watch movies.

44
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: We've watched a lot of movies, something.

45
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Going to like two movies a weekend.

46
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: Really getting our money's worth out of what did you say?

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: We say we have.

48
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Said so we're are Egal Unlimited members, not a sponsorship,

49
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: but it is not Regal hit us up. They send

50
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: me an email with all the money we've saved, five

51
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: hundred and ten dollars.

52
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: It's not surprising.

53
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy.

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: We go to the movies all the time. We get

55
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: ten percent off drinks, and you get like credits every

56
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: time you go. And I don't think I've paid for

57
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: I never paid for popcorn. I get like seven dollars

58
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: worth of popcorn free every time.

59
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: It is amazing to see it go from sixteen dollars

60
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: down to six.

61
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: It is very satisfying. It is like a little thing.

62
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: They're like sixteen eighty six. You're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

63
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: skin my barcoat. I am a Regal Unlimited member.

64
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go a lot. That's one of the things

65
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: that we can both agree on is going to see

66
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: a movie.

67
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're gonna do our best and worst of April.

68
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: You want to kick us off with your.

69
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: Best, I will. I have The Covenant, that's your best?

70
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what made you love that movie?

71
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I thought the story was really good. I thought Jake

72
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: Jillenhall was really good in it.

73
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Jake Jillenhall. I like him.

74
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I think he's underappreciated.

75
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: You.

76
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're the biggest fan of him

77
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: as an actor, but you liked him in that movie.

78
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: I did. I'm a diehard Taylor Swift fan.

79
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: That's that I was gonna say.

80
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: So, I don't know that I love Jake Jollenhall as

81
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: a person.

82
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel like he's that bad.

83
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Like, I don't think he's that bad.

84
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm just a diehard Swifty Okay, So it's just that

85
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's a good guy on off screen.

86
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: It's it's just the Taylor Swift like I can't can't

87
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: root for the opposite team. But I do like him

88
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: as an actor, so.

89
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: You can separate the art from the artist and enjoy

90
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: his movies. Yes, that was a really good movie. And

91
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I feel like you aren't necessarily drawn to the movies

92
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: that induce anxiety.

93
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about that before, and like especially war movies.

94
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't like the like intense, like anxiety inducing, but

95
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: I like the story.

96
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's a tough one because it felt like at

97
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: any point something was gonna go wrong.

98
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: There was one point though, towards the beginning of the

99
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: movie where something went wrong and I jumped and spilled

100
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: my popcorn all myself, and I knew it was coming.

101
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: It was a predictable like you could. The scene was

102
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: building and I was like, this is coming, this is coming,

103
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: this is coming. And then it happened, and I was

104
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: a good.

105
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's great that a movie can do that.

106
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: I'd excite you can catch you off guard. It's not

107
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: a horror movie.

108
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: I just don't want to be scared. I'm scared of

109
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: a lot of things. I don't want to be scared

110
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: in a movie. I go to a movie to turn

111
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: my brain off. I just I'm a high anxiety.

112
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Person, as am I. Yeah, but you like.

113
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: The things that are like not gonna happen and give

114
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: you anxiety, like you like a movie, like a horror movie,

115
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: because like, this isn't gonna happen. My anxiety brain is like,

116
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: oh my god, what if this does happen? What was

117
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: that when a stranger calls terrified me? Is that the

118
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: one where it's like the calls coming from inside the house. Yeah, terrified, terrified?

119
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Okay, I tied. You get freaked out about those movies

120
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: like The Strangers Home Invasion, Oh that a little bit. Okay,

121
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: see your best is The Covenant. Yes, my best would

122
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: easily be Air Oh so good. That was like the

123
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: first great movie of the year, and it is coming

124
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: out on Amazon Prime this Friday.

125
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: I would have gone with that one too, but it

126
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: was kind of both of our favorites.

127
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: So I love that they believed in that movie so

128
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: much they decided to put it out in theaters, and

129
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: now it goes to streaming. I kind of feel like

130
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: movies have two different lives right now. I think the

131
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: best movies are still going to come out in theaters,

132
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: but I kind of like those second wave that comes

133
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: that all the people who didn't go watch it in

134
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: theaters then start talking about it again, like this week

135
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: when this one hits streaming services, and now I kind

136
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: of feel it's like when you discover a band early,

137
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: you're like, no, I was telling you about it when

138
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it was in theaters, and then everybody kind of it

139
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: reignites it whenever it goes on to streaming. So I

140
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: feel like really good movies now are going to have

141
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: this double life of they get all the success from

142
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: the box office, and then they get the people who

143
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: rather watch a movie, And I think you determine how

144
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: you want to do it, how you want to spend

145
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: your money, how you want to spend your time. But

146
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I think the great movies will still go to movie

147
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: theaters first, and then if they do well there, they'll

148
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: do well on streaming.

149
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: Okay, so a question there, like when somebody catches the

150
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: second wave, do you get annoyed that they weren't in

151
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: the first wave? Or are you just glad the movies

152
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: being appreciated, Like in your example about bands, Like you're

153
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: a diehard Phoebe Bridges fan, you are currently wearing your

154
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah Bridger shirt. She's opening up for Taylor Swift, so

155
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot more people are discovering Phoebe.

156
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: Are you annoyed that people that Phoebe was like slept on?

157
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: Are you happy that she has a bit your fandom

158
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: and she can get more success.

159
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a part of me that gets a

160
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: little bit annoyed when when I recommend something and I

161
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: believe so much in it, and I come on and

162
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: do a review, I'm like, everybody needs to go see

163
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: this movie. But I get it. Not everybody goes to theaters.

164
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: It's expensive, but I'm like, I told you it's a

165
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: good movie, and then you feel like you discovered. You're like, no,

166
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: you have like this attachment when you're the first one

167
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: to tell people about things. And I am feeling that

168
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: with Pepe Ridges right now, because I was listening to

169
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: her way back in like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, when

170
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: nobody really knew her, and now I feel like when

171
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: people go see here in a stadium, I'm like, no,

172
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I saw her in a club. I feel that a

173
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But when it comes to movies, I'm just

174
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: glad that things still come out and they can have

175
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: some relevance, so I don't really care how they end

176
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: up being seen. But I am just such a proponent

177
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: of going to see a movie in theaters that I

178
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: feel like I want more people to experience it that way.

179
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, as long as the movie's being watched and appreciated,

180
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm good with it, And as long as people go

181
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: back and check out my initial review, then I'm even

182
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: better with it. There we go, all right, So what

183
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: is your worst for April?

184
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: Worst in the sense that it wasn't my favorite Super

185
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Mario Brothers.

186
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one hurts me a little bit, but I

187
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: never played. Yeah, that's still astonishing thing to me. Explain

188
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: yourself on that. I just feel that everybody growing up,

189
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: no matter what age group you are, at some point

190
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: somebody plays Super Mario Brothers.

191
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean I was an only child for twelve years.

192
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess that makes me more And it was.

193
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 2: Just my mom and I for six years or three

194
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: depends on how you look at the timeline. But before

195
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: my mom got remarried, it was just us for a while.

196
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: So like my mom wasn't playing Super Mario Brothers, Like,

197
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: oh no, we're watching Friends in r That's why I'm

198
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: such a medical nerd.

199
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: That makes more sense to me now because the way

200
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: I was exposed to Nintendo. I have an older brother, yeah,

201
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: seven years older than me, so he had the first

202
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: ever Nintendo. We always got systems four or five years

203
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: after they were relevant when you could get him at

204
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: a garage sale, but he had one, so I remember

205
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: I would always go dig it out of the closet

206
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: and play Super Nintendo. So I just grew up with

207
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: it always around me.

208
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: I had one of those little I think about have

209
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: been a game boy. It was like a tiny little

210
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: flip screen like a dys Maybe yeah, but I had

211
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: like a bunch of like Mary Kate Nashley games, and

212
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: I broke it because I stuck the cartridge in the

213
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: wrong way on accident. I wasn't paying attention.

214
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: So I could see why you didn't enjoy that movie

215
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: as much, because I really think that movie was made

216
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: for the fans of the video game. I think that's

217
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: why that movie has done so well now making a

218
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: billion dollars in the box office, because it's been the

219
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: best adaptation of taking what we experienced as game players

220
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: and putting it on the big screen. So for you

221
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: not having that experience, I could see why it lost.

222
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: It just felt like you were watching a cartoon.

223
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: I got really into which version was a PS two.

224
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,239
Speaker 2: I was really good at Frogger, and then the snowboarding

225
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: game that like SSX. I remember that game well, that

226
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: game I was. I mean my snowboarders always crashed. But

227
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: see like that, those are the things I played.

228
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: You're stealing now, like we got to get a Nintendo Switch,

229
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: we got to get you played and some Super Mario Brothers.

230
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: And then when the sequel comes out, well, you'll appreciate

231
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: it more.

232
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: You have a birthday next month, and it is the

233
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: only thing on your wish list.

234
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: So your adult thirty year old husband starting thirty two

235
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: once a Nintendo Switch.

236
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we all have her things. Whatever makes you happy,

237
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: whatever makes you happy. I honestly need you to have

238
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: a hobby.

239
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no hobby.

240
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: I need you to have a hobby. And like I

241
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: love that it's portable, like we can take it places

242
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: and I can read a book and you can play

243
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: a Nintendo Switch. Because right now you don't have hobbies.

244
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: This is my hobby. Watching movies is still my hobby.

245
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: Yes, but you've also need something that I don't know,

246
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: other stimulating trying to get you to read. Yeah, we

247
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: did just get you a Quentin Tarantino book.

248
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: And I'm going to read it because it's about movies,

249
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: cinema speculation.

250
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: It's called It's a in the list of other books

251
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 2: you have.

252
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: I have a sack of books, which I'll get into

253
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: later when I talk about Hunger games of my issue

254
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: with not finishing books. But my worst for April would

255
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: have to be Peter Pan and Wendy, which came out

256
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: on Disney plus one of the most lifeless, boring Disneys

257
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: at I've seen, and they did the exact same thing

258
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: that happened with the Pinocchio movie.

259
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: Was it live action?

260
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Is live action?

261
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: A lifeless live action film? That's pretty bad.

262
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: So it was essentially the original animated Peter Pan movie,

263
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: just live action, almost seen for scene. And I just

264
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: can't really believe that Disney is just rehashing all these

265
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: movies again and again and not changing anything.

266
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: Stop making everything live action.

267
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna keep doing it forever and ever and

268
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: ever and ever.

269
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: Monster Sync, you're gonna make that live action finding Nemo.

270
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm having issues with the Little Mermaid movie

271
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: coming out because of Flounder and all the sea creatures

272
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: looking weird.

273
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about aren't they doing le Lewin Stitch?

274
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? H that one. I'm yeah, I have issues with

275
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: that too. That's my favorite Disney movie of all time,

276
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: and I don't want them to ruin it for me.

277
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm just like, that's the great thing about an animation

278
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: is its animation. We don't have to put real people

279
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: into every single film.

280
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: It made a little more sense.

281
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: Was like the Princess movies, Like yeah, like being the beast,

282
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: those kinds of things. But like when we're starting to

283
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: get into like the mythical realms.

284
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Disney right now it feels to me like a rapper

285
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: who was trying to stay relevant on their hit.

286
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: From the nineties, Vanilla Ice.

287
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be like Vanilla Ice, like Ice Ice Baby,

288
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing a redo, doing a part too.

289
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: I mean he does play like events and stuff.

290
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what Disney feels like to me. They are

291
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: the Vanilla Ice of movie studios.

292
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: Don't come after us, Vanilla I. So I do love

293
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: Ice Ice Baby. Yeah, it's a great song, all right.

294
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of other movies that I watched

295
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: while you were gone.

296
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: Yes I did. I was away for the weekend.

297
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I was gone.

298
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: Makes it sound like I was gone for a while.

299
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: I left you for three and a half days. Yeah,

300
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: I went home to Texas for three and a half days.

301
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: Well.

302
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: I watched like four movies in that weekend. My runner

303
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: up for the worst movie of April. I watched a

304
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: movie called Fall, which is about these.

305
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: Oh that one looked terrible.

306
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: It's about these two girls who they're kind of adrenaline

307
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: junkies and they go and climb this radio tower and

308
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: they get stuck at the top, and the entire movie

309
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: is them trying to get down from it. But it's

310
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: one of these movies where it has a great concept

311
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: and you could easily pitch that to somebody, like, Hey,

312
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: you want to watch this movie about these Yes, that

313
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: sounds amazing to me. But it had some of the

314
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: worst special effects I've ever seen in a movie. And

315
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: it's a decent plot, but the novelty of it wears

316
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: off pretty quick, and it had some of the worst

317
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: acting I'd ever seen in a movie.

318
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: I think I would feel triggered by the heights as

319
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: someone who unknowingly climbed a fourteen or in Colorado and

320
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: then with no training, with no training and one bottle

321
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: of water, and then had to crawl down. I think

322
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: just looking like those big heights, I think the movie

323
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: would scare me. I don't really have problems with heights. Yeah,

324
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: a lot of problems heights. I can't do like three

325
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: D stuff. I can't do virtual rides, m M. I

326
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: get really bad at something with my bad eyesight, and

327
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: like my equilibrium just gets thrown off and so I

328
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: just start to feel really dizzy.

329
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: That's how I knew you were the one whenever you

330
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: came out to see me in Los Angeles. And my

331
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: favorite show of all time is The Simpsons. We went

332
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: to Universal Studios and we went on the three D Simpson's.

333
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: Ride and I literally hit it every second of it.

334
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: But you begged me.

335
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: And you did it, and it was great. And now

336
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: they may shut down that entire Simpsons land.

337
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so glad we got to see it.

338
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: So we got to see it. My runner up for

339
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: the Best of April was Dungeons and Dragons, which that

340
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: was quietly a really good movie. I never even had

341
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: a chance to review it because so much came out

342
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: and a too long.

343
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: The comedy was good because.

344
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: I find us referencing it more and more like post

345
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: the movie.

346
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: There is one funny part that we reference.

347
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: It's in the trailer. It's whenever they oh, it's in

348
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: the trailer. Yeah, it's in the trailer. So whenever they

349
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: go and try to get answers out of these dead bodies.

350
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: They can ask them five questions and then they like

351
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: die again. But on one of them, they only asked

352
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: the guy for questions and then he's like, guys, guys,

353
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: that was only.

354
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: Four but I feel like the more I think about

355
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: that movie, the more it sticks with me. And I

356
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: think it was the comedy. I think I was expecting

357
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: it to be, I guess a little bit more magical

358
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: because it's dungeons and dragons. I thought there was gonna

359
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: be more well dragons, It was really only like one

360
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: main dragon.

361
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of dungeons.

362
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: It was a lot of dungeons, so I just thought

363
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: it was gonna have a little bit more of a

364
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: big cinematic feeling. But as a comedy, it was pretty good.

365
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I did enjoy it, and it had a really good cast.

366
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: So I feel like that movie was just jumbled in

367
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: between all these other good movies in April that I

368
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of like forgot about it. Well, it came out

369
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: at the end of March, actually, but we ended up

370
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: watching it in April.

371
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: I feel like the saw a lot of movie, so

372
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: there were.

373
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: So many movies and I was like, uh, oh, I'll

374
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: find the time to record that review. Never got to it,

375
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: so I was like, oh, here, we are doing this one.

376
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: But I think that is a fun movie. And I

377
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: think if I would have seen that movie as a kid,

378
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: I would have loved it. Even more like that. I

379
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: think is a movie that i'd been like it made

380
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: a Dungeon and Dragons.

381
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: Movie from two nerds, Like Dungeons and Dragons was just

382
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: like another It's a different realm of nerdy.

383
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: It is because I'm a nerd, and I'll admit it,

384
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm into nerdy things. But when I heard somebody was

385
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: into Dungeon and Dragons, they'd be like they were into

386
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: hardcore drugs, like that, dude's doing Dungeons and Dragons, D

387
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: and d Billy's going the way of the That's how

388
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: I always felt about it. So well, I thought the

389
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: movie was going to have a little bit more to

390
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: do with the game. So I don't know that people

391
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: who are hardcore about the game would feel like it

392
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: did them justice.

393
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: But yeahs, people who have never played the game, we

394
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: enjoyed the movie.

395
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen the game, never touched it.

396
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a couple of friends who've played it.

397
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: Although one of those friends is really into board games,

398
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: the board game Junkie.

399
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: The other movie I watched while you were Away, Well,

400
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: okay again, three Days.

401
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: You make it sound like I'm like a win off

402
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: for a long time, like on a journey I watched

403
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: three Days.

404
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: I rewatched a movie because of a TikTok. This guy

405
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: did this story about the movie called Idiocracy, who is

406
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: directed and created by Mike Judge who did King of

407
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: the Hill, and the TikTok was about the shoes they

408
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: used in that movie, and the shoes they made them

409
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: wear were Crocs. But at the time, Crocs was a

410
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: really new company. I think they started in two thousand

411
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: and two. The movie came out in two thousand and six,

412
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: but they filmed it in two thousand and four, and

413
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: to save money, they wanted these shoes that just looked

414
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: futuristic but looks so dumb that nobody would actually wear them.

415
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: So they found Crocs and they were like, what if

416
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: these become popular and we haven't been our movie.

417
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: The idea of Crocs looking futuristic futuristic is sending.

418
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Me yeah, So they were like, we just need something

419
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: that looks dumb looking, because if you haven't seen Ideography,

420
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: what it's about is he goes about a thousand years

421
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: into the future and everybody's just gotten dumber. Everybody's just

422
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: drinking mountain dew, and the IQ level has gone all

423
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: the way down. So this guy goes a thousand years

424
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: into the future, and he was just a regular dude

425
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: in the two thousands, but now he's like the smartest

426
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: man in the world. So they're all wearing these crocs

427
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be dumb looking shoes, but at

428
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the time the movie came out, crocs started to become popular,

429
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: and now they're having a resurgence.

430
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: That is funny.

431
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: So seeing that TikTok made me want to go back

432
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and rewatch that movie, which reminded me that that movie

433
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: probably couldn't be made today. And also, visual effects have

434
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: grown so much in twenty years, because if you watch

435
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: that movie, it almost looks like a school project with

436
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: some of the special effects. But the fact that some

437
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: of the things they predicted in that movie kind of

438
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: came true is kind of funny. So if you've never

439
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: seen it, you want to see something ridiculous and it's

440
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: a good watch. And then also because we watched The

441
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Covenant and I really enjoyed that, I went back and

442
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: watched another. Even though Jake Jillen hawesn't play a soldier

443
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: in the movie, I watch Brothers with him and Toby Maguire.

444
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm a little annoyed that you watched that without me.

445
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to watch it again, and that movie

446
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: is pretty brutal, Like.

447
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: But see, when I'm gone, you just watch all these movies.

448
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: You're not like, hey, would you want to watch this?

449
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: You just watch it without me. Yeah, it's kind of

450
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: like when you watched Coda without me, which I still

451
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: have not forgotten.

452
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: And you still haven't seen no because you watched me.

453
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: I woke up one morning and I saw it on

454
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 2: your Insta story from the other room. I was like

455
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: waking up scrolling and you were like Saturday Morning Cinema

456
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: and I barge out of the bedroom and I'm like,

457
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: you watch this without me?

458
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: After that, I try to ask, but sometimes I feel

459
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: there're movies that you just wouldn't be interested in, So

460
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: I just.

461
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: I would still like to be asked.

462
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: So should I have asked you about Fall?

463
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

464
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, see I think you'd be into that one, okay.

465
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: But brothers, like, should have asked.

466
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: The other movies I watched. I got into a kick

467
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: of trying to watch movies from Texas because I just

468
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: like seeing how they depict Texas and also if there

469
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: are things that I recognize, Oh yeah.

470
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: You watched that one with the Wilson Brothers.

471
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bottle Rocket, Yes, which is a Wes Anderson movie,

472
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: his first movie primarily shot in North Texas, which is

473
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: where I'm from. I didn't really recognize a whole lot

474
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: of it, but because it's just dirt roads, just dirt roads,

475
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: but they do go into a lot of like outskirt

476
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: farm roads, and I'm like, that looks like it could

477
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: be by my parents' house. I also got onto that

478
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: put me onto a Wes Anderson kick. So I watched

479
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: Grand Budapest Hotel. I think that's currently my favorite Wes

480
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Anderson movie, and I'm trying to rewatch all of his

481
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: movies before Asteroid City comes out later this summer. And

482
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: then I watched another movie from nineteen ninety six called Suburbia,

483
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: who is by director Richard Linklater, who also directed School

484
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: of Rock. He did Days Confused. He's from Houston.

485
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: He did that one at Boyhood.

486
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did Boyhood.

487
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

488
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: So he has a lot of movies that are based

489
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: in Texas and this movie, Suburbia is primarily shot in

490
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: South Austin, which is where I lived in Austin for

491
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: seven years. And it was weird seeing all the things

492
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: from all the places I went to and how they

493
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: originally were in the nineties. So I feel like I

494
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: like going back and watching movies that feel like a

495
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: time capsule.

496
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: I like anything that features Like right now, we're watching

497
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: the last thing he told me on out. Yeah, and

498
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: it does my campus and I miss it, and I

499
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: love seeing ut and love seeing all the buildings that

500
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I know where they are, because I mean I went

501
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: to school there and worked there for a total of

502
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: seven years combined. So I mean that the campus was

503
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: my life every day for seven years.

504
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: And that brings us to our next point, which we

505
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: usually wrap up this portion of the episode talking about

506
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: the favorite TV show we do our honorable mentioned TV show.

507
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: You were talking about that show. Is there another one

508
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: that's been the best thing you watched in April?

509
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely? It's a Netflix docuseries called American Manhunt.

510
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Bostin Marathon Bomber. That was an intense documentary

511
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that was good. Very rarely do we get on something

512
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: and want to watch every single episode in one sitting,

513
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: and that was one where.

514
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: We could have finished it.

515
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: We could have finished it when I would have had time.

516
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: There's three episodes through an hour each and it is

517
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: like the real footage from that day.

518
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Which we've seen that week. I guess, yeah, it's all week.

519
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, there's a lot of things I did not

520
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: remember about that.

521
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: And especially seeing like the real like not the dramatized

522
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: version of it. It was really crazy.

523
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Which that has inspired us to go back and watch

524
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: the movie with Mark Wahlberg Patriots Day. Yes, so it's

525
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: a really sad thing. It's also crazy that it's been

526
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: ten years since that. Yeah, but it was really well

527
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: done to the point to where I learned a lot

528
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: of things I did.

529
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's yeah. We were talking about how it's

530
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: weird to say that something like that is good, and

531
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: I think with the docuseries like that, it's not so

532
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: much that it's good, it's well done. We felt the

533
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: same way about the nine to eleven docuseries on that

534
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: came out in like twenty twenty one. It was eight episodes,

535
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: incredibly well done, and I think there's something to be

536
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: said for taking the time to put something like that

537
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: together as opposed to like this is a pop culture example,

538
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: but like there's already an Aaron Carter thing on Hulu

539
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: and it's just those things that you can tell are

540
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: like thrown together to get something out there, to put

541
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: the story out. Yeah, but I think what Netflix did

542
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: so well was like weaving in and out the stories

543
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: and the interviews and the footage.

544
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

545
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: I think when something comes ten years after or the

546
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: other one that was twenty years after, it shows that

547
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: some work was put into it.

548
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like it's when you respect an event,

549
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: it doesn't desensitize people to it because it's done in

550
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: a way that makes you reflect on it and it's

551
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: not just like, Okay, we slap this together, watch it.

552
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: So I thought it was really good. We both really

553
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: liked it the whole time. We were just like, oh

554
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: my gosh, h tough to watch. It's tough to watch,

555
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: especially with the real footage. It hits a little harder

556
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: than just seeing a dramatized version. But yeah, that would

557
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: be my recommendation for me.

558
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: My TV show for April was The Mandalorian. Even though

559
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: this wasn't my favorite season, it was the show I

560
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: stuck with throughout the entire month and made sure I

561
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: watched it and it felt like an event to me.

562
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: And there are very few shows now that I have

563
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: to watch the day they come out or the following day,

564
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: and that was one that I Every Wednesday I go

565
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: to watch the Mandalorian and when it comes to Star Wars,

566
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the best Star Wars story, even

567
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: more so than the movies that came out the last trilogy.

568
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: I feel like this season was very much focused on

569
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: just the Mandalorian people instead of so much on Grogu

570
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: aka Baby Yoda, and I feel like that upsets some

571
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Star Wars fans because they're like, guy, we want more

572
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: Baby Yoda, we want more Luke Skywalker references. But I

573
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: like that this season stuck to that. I just felt

574
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: like it got a little bit to feel like a

575
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Saturday morning TV show. I just felt like the first

576
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: and second season had a little bit more action that

577
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: felt I don't want to say more adult, but it

578
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: felt like a little more serious. And then it just

579
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of became more of like, Ah, this is just

580
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: our fun show. Now it's still good, so I still

581
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I'm just not as excited for a season four.

582
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: But that is it. That is our best and worst

583
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: of the month. Anything else you want to say, Kelsey.

584
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: Four, you go, I don't think I own anything else. Okay,

585
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: as I sit here and snuggle, we have a weighted stitch.

586
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he takes your seat when you're not here.

587
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 2: It's very comfortable.

588
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: All right, Well come back it do this one off

589
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: the rails the spoiler free movie review for Guardians of

590
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Volume three After this, about to get into

591
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: a spoiler free movie review of Guardians of the Galaxy

592
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Volume three. I've never had to prepare myself this much

593
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: to keep it together during a movie review, but that

594
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: is what I'm going to do today because this movie

595
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: tugged on every single one of my heart strings. It

596
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: hit me in the gut, it went places I did

597
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: not think it was going to go. I was a

598
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit unwell after watching this movie, so again I

599
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: will keep all my thoughts spoiler free, not even going

600
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: to hit the trailer because I want to get right

601
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: into this review. So what this movie is about. We

602
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: have our heroes back, and we knew going into this

603
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: movie it was going to be their final ride. The

604
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: mission on this movie is pretty simple. The Guardians are

605
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: trying to save their friend Rocket Raccoon from the High

606
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Evolutionary and I was really not expecting this movie to

607
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: be a full on Rocket movie. The first Guardians of

608
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: the Galaxy movie was very much Peter Quill and his

609
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: relationship with his mother. The second movie was him and

610
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: his relationship with his father, finding out that the guy

611
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: he'd been seeking after really wasn't the guy who was

612
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: expecting him to be. Instead, he had his real father

613
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: figure Yondu with him the entire time. Part three is

614
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: much a deep dive into our heroes, them getting to

615
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: accept themselves and just trying to save their friend. The

616
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: first two movies have the best opening sequences, not just

617
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: in the MCU, but really in anything I've seen in

618
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years. They really just always set the

619
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: tone of being a lot of fun. But the difference

620
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three, it was a

621
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: lot more subdued. You don't really get that at the

622
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: beginning of this movie and instead hit you with some

623
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: high stakes knowing that Adam Warlock the High Evolutionary are

624
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: all here and they all mean business, and we find

625
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: our friend ro At Raccoon in a bad spot from

626
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: the very beginning of this movie. Another thing I've always

627
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: loved about the Guardians of the Galaxy is we never

628
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: had to go through all of their origin stories, much

629
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: like in Star Wars, which there are a lot of

630
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: parallels in the Guardians and Star Wars. They just kind

631
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: of existed in this world. We all just accepted what

632
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: they were going through where they had been, all of

633
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: their characters that just went along for the ride. And

634
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: that's what made those movies great. That's what set them apart.

635
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: In the MCU and throughout the entire Infinity saga, they

636
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: always felt a little bit isolated, and I liked it.

637
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: They kept it that way. I think that was James

638
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: Gunn's vision all along to make his own version of

639
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: Star Wars inside the MCU, and this served as the

640
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: best final chapter possible. This movie transcends the superhero genre.

641
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: I always feel like, as a person who has trouble

642
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: battling their own emotions and expressing them sometimes, I always

643
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: trying to find movies that make me sad. I feel

644
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: like that is something I try really hard to find,

645
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: something that's going to make me a little bit weepy,

646
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: make me kind of be in tune with my emotions,

647
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: and I just haven't really found that yet. Now I

648
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: have it. It is Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three,

649
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: and I love how it maintained this somber tone throughout

650
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: the entire movie, and you feel this throughout the entire

651
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: movie a lot with Peter Quill as he is trying

652
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: to save his best friend but also dealing with the

653
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: fact that the Gomora he knows and fell in love

654
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: with is no longer there, and at times their relationship

655
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: in this movie is very awkward on that account of

656
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: him just trying to face the reality that she is

657
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: no longer there. But I love that this movie shifted

658
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: away from Peter Quill's story and all the other Guardians

659
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: to really focus in on Rocket, who now I feel

660
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: has subtly become one of the best characters in the MCU.

661
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: This movie served as his origin story, and it is

662
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: almost that of a super villain. I still can't put

663
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: my head around the fact that all these things that

664
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: he went through and he still wanted to go on

665
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: and do something good and become a member of the

666
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: Guardian into the Galaxy. We never really got that in

667
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Volume one and Volume two. The funny thing about this

668
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: movie is that even if you haven't seen one or two,

669
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: you can dive right into this movie. They reset everything

670
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. I feel like all the Guardians of the

671
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Galaxy movies are pretty self contained because they are all

672
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: kind of deep dives into one specific element of all

673
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: of our characters, and I feel like this movie shows

674
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: you the true meaning of that of them learning what

675
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: it means to be a guardian of the galaxy, a

676
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: protector of those who cannot protect themselves, and with them

677
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: learning that. It takes you through every emotional level possible.

678
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: And I've never felt so sad for a raccoon, for

679
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: other little animals. So I would say, if you haven't

680
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: seen this movie yet and you are an animal lover,

681
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: it is probably going to hit you into some fields.

682
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: There's one line specifically that I don't want to ruin

683
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: because I wanted to give you the same weight that

684
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: it gave me. When I saw it. It just hit

685
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: me in the gut. And I'm still thinking about that

686
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: line over and over again because it sparked an emotion

687
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: in me that I was just surprised I was going

688
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: to be this invested in a character I did not

689
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: think was this complex. James Gunn proved me wrong, and

690
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: as a director, he nailed everything down to the last

691
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: minute detail, even back to the intro, how everything from

692
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: the text was very orchestrated, the way the fonts lined

693
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: up and all the characters walked out and the logo

694
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: came up behind them. Everything was just beautifully done in

695
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: this movie, from the cosmic color palette to how the

696
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: soundtrack and the score blend together so well in between

697
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: all the action where you have this fight sequence, it hits,

698
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 1: and then this song perfectly hits to mix in that

699
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: scene into the next scene. Watching this movie is the

700
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: same thing as listening to the perfect song. How did

701
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: somebody put all these elements that I know and love

702
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: into one little piece of art that just hits on

703
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: every single level possible? And this movie has ten times

704
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: more creativity and imagination than anything in the MCU right now,

705
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: everything down to the music which I've been talking about,

706
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: but the makeup in this movie, the cost and design.

707
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: They deserve an Oscar nomination right now for that. It

708
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: looks magnificent, better than any sci fi movie that really

709
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: comes to mind. And you're gonna say it doesn't look

710
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: better than Star Wars. This movie looks better than Star

711
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: Wars to me. I know we hold that original trilogy

712
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: to such a high level, but when are we going

713
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: to advance from that and say that there have been

714
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: sci fi movies created that are better than Star Wars.

715
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I enjoyed Guarding to the Galaxy

716
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: of Valu one, two, and three more than the original

717
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Star Wars trilogy. I didn't grow up with them. I

718
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: discover them later as an adult. So if that takes

719
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: away all my credibility as a film reviewer and enthusiasts,

720
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: so be it. But I have not felt the emotions

721
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: that I felt in this movie in anything Star Wars

722
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: related ever, So I know we hold that to some

723
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: old standard like nothing can touch Star Wars. Guardians of

724
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Volume three is better than anything I've ever

725
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: experienced when it comes to Star Wars, I can know

726
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: and appreciate those for what they did. And of course

727
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: this wouldn't exist if Star Wars was never created. A

728
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of the elements in this movie are otes to

729
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Even the whole creation of the Guardians of

730
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: the Galaxy in the MCU is a node to Star Wars.

731
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: So I understand that. But what James Gunn has done

732
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: with these characters and their evolution and making you care

733
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: so much about not only the main characters but the

734
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: side characters, even characters that seem like background insignificant characters.

735
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: In this you care about everything in this movie. The

736
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: villains may not be as iconic as other Star Wars villains,

737
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: and it may not create as big of a world

738
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: that can expand like Star Wars, but this movie is

739
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: just so much more satisfying to me, and I'm gonna

740
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: remember this one more than anything Wars, and yeah, you

741
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: may call me a Marvel stand And part of it

742
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: was that it felt like the last little thread to

743
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: the Infinity saga with some of the references to Thanos.

744
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: It kind of felt, yes, like that last little piece

745
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: of my young adult life having its final chapter here.

746
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: So if I'm ranking it as one of the best

747
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: sci fi trilogies of all time, without a doubt, it

748
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: is the best trilogy in the MCU. Nothing comes close,

749
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: not Captain America, not Iron Man. There are four Thorp movies,

750
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: so that kicks that one out. There are four Avengers movies,

751
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: so that kicks that one out of the conversation. There

752
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: are three in the Spider Man trilogy right now with

753
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Tom Holland, but I am expecting that fourth one. So

754
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: this is what I feel is the only true trilogy

755
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: in the MCU. All the other ones had these other

756
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: little building blocks that were building towards the Avengers movies

757
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: and having all these other stories interconnected. But if you

758
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: just sat down and watched these movies, it would feel

759
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: like one big, cohesive story that moves from one to

760
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: the next seamlessly. There are so many more things I

761
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: want to share with you about this movie, but I

762
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: want to keep this spoiler free for those who haven't

763
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: had the chance to see it yet. So there will

764
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: be a spoiler review up on the feed, which is

765
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: something I do whenever such a big movie comes out.

766
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: And there are all these details I want to dive into,

767
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: but I don't want to ruin it for you, So

768
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: a spoiler edition of The Guardian's review will be coming

769
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: soon and we'll get into more. But there is nothing

770
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: bad I can say about this movie. It made me feel,

771
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: It made me laugh, it made me excited, it made

772
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: me cheer. And this movie takes you so very very low.

773
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: It gets dark, it gets sad, it gets to a

774
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: point where you think, man, I thought Marvel movies are

775
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be a fun time. There were no rules

776
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: in this movie. It was James Gunn going all out

777
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: giving us his all, saying this is it for me

778
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: in the MCU, I'm going over to DC and working

779
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: on Superman now. But in doing that, he gave us

780
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: one of the best movies in MCU of all time.

781
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: And I think it is James Gunn's best work, and

782
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to his attention to detail.

783
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: I think people will take a lot of enjoyment in

784
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: the music he picks and how selective he is and

785
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: how he goes after songs that are really hard to

786
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: get to put him in this movie. I think my

787
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: favorite use was probably No Sleep Till Brooklyn by The

788
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Beastie Boys. This just proves why he is the best

789
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: at what he does and also proves why Chris Pratt

790
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: was really the best choice here as star Lord. And

791
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: I know he gets a lot of crap too for

792
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: being in everything, for not being that great of an actor.

793
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: He gave a performance of his lifetime. Zoe's Aldonna as

794
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: Gomorra not only shows you the range of her as

795
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: an actor, but also how she can evolve one character

796
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: and give them all these different looks. What more can

797
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: I say about Dave Batista that I haven't said already

798
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: and how I'm becoming a big stand of his. And

799
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: I would say, I feel like Bradley Cooper as Rocket

800
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: Raccoon doesn't really get that much credit for what he

801
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: does with this role. But I was specifically just listening

802
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: to the range of different emotions we heard from Rocket

803
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: Raccoon in this movie. And I know we don't give

804
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: out oscars and awards for voice work, but we need

805
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: to do that. Bradley Cooper deserves some kind of award

806
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: for what he has done with Rocket Raccoon, and I

807
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: understand if they did create an OSCAR for voice acting,

808
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: the MC would already be out of the conversation because

809
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: they'd never get nominated for anything cool. It put me

810
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: on the verge of tears. I was very close to crying.

811
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: I didn't quite get there because I think at the

812
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: moment it got the most emotional. I was also aware

813
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: of my surroundings, so I was like, ah, I'm probably

814
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: not gonna cry right now, but I was really close.

815
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: If my heart wasn't made a stone, I easily would

816
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: have cried in this movie. So for Guardians of the

817
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: Galaxy Volume three, I rarely give out this rating, usually

818
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: only once maybe twice a year. My highest rated movie

819
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: of the year so far, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three,

820
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: five out of five zoons.

821
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie Mike Treylar Paul,

822
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: you have.

823
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: To go back back to Panem. Taking a look today

824
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: at the new trailer for The Hunger Games The Ballad

825
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: of Songbirds and Snakes. It is a prequel to The

826
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: Hunger Games based on the book that came out in

827
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And I have to say, before I saw

828
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: this trailer, I really wasn't that excited about this movie. Now,

829
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games the book series was one of my favorites.

830
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: I think it was the one I had the most

831
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: investment in prior to seeing the movies. Now, I grew

832
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: up with the Harry Potter movies with the Harry Potter books,

833
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: but at the time as a kid, I really wasn't

834
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: that interested in reading. So these books came to me

835
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: when I was in college, and I probably wasn't even

836
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: the key demographic for these books or these movies, but

837
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: I found myself so heavily invested in the story of

838
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Catnus in those books that it is probably the quickest

839
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: I've ever read a book. Series. So I was so

840
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: hype when those movies came out, and I still feel

841
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: like those movies didn't live up to THEO And I

842
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: guess that's how a lot of people feel about whenever

843
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: they see movies based on books. But the reason I

844
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: feel that with Hunger Games, a lot of it is

845
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: the internal monologue in her head that really fleshes her

846
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: out as a character and really fleshes out the entire

847
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: struggle with the Capitol and everything going on in the world,

848
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 1: and you don't really get that in those initial movies.

849
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: You get a lot of the love triangle between her,

850
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: Gail and Peta, and that is kind of what those

851
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: movies focused on. And at the times maybe it was

852
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: a little bit based on the fad of the dystopian

853
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: young adult novel book adaptation, which we saw have great

854
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: success with Harry Potter, which I feel that Harry Potter,

855
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: even though not really in that same category, led the

856
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: charge on that in the two thousands, But then you

857
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: had Twilight and you had all these other books kind

858
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: of do the same with the Divergence series. But I

859
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: felt like in all that, Hunger Games really was able

860
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: to set itself a part and I'm kind of surprised

861
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: that Hunger Games doesn't have as a passionate base is

862
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: all those other books, as Harry Potter, as Twilight, and

863
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it's because they didn't get those first

864
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: movies down completely. I wasn't the biggest fan of the

865
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: visual effects, and that was even back watching those movies

866
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: originally in theaters, but now most recently I went back

867
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: and watched all the movies and looking at some of

868
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: those special effects, I was just thinking, how did they

869
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: let this make the final movie. So after getting a

870
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: glimpse of this trailer, I feel like that has greatly improved.

871
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: And the look of this movie makes me a lot

872
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: more excited about it. And I also feel like it's

873
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit more of a grittier story.

874
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: And I'll admit, since I really wasn't excited about this

875
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: movie being made, I have not read the book yet,

876
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: so this is the first for me of not reading

877
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: a Hunger Games book before watching the movie. So you

878
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: may crush me for that, but I want to be

879
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: upfront with you, so before I get into more about

880
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: this Hunger Games trailer, here's just a little bit of

881
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: the Ballad of Songbirds and snakes.

882
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 2: I have someone to you all here for the Tentthaniel

883
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: Reaping ceremony, in which we choose two children from each

884
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: district to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.

885
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: From District twelve, Lucy gray Bear, there has been a

886
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: change this year.

887
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: As a mentor, mister Snow, youral is to turn these

888
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 2: children into spectacles, not surprivors.

889
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: What does my mentor do besides bring me roses? I

890
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: do my best to take care of you. You really

891
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: want to take care of me in that arena? Start

892
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: by thinking I can actually win. So what this movie

893
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: is about. It takes place sixty four years before Catnus

894
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: Everdeen ever volunteered as tribute, and it essentially serves as

895
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: the villain origin story for who would later become President Snow.

896
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: But this is long before he ever becomes President of

897
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: pan M, So this movie will follow the story of

898
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: a young Snow and a tribute that he mentors named

899
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: Lucy gray Baird, played by Rachel Zegler, who you may

900
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: recognize from Shazam Fury of the Gods. She was actually

901
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: really good in that. The cast also includes Peter Dinklic,

902
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: who you heard in that trailer as the creator of

903
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games Hunter Schaeffer, who you may know as

904
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: Jewels from Euphoria. I think she looks incredible in this trailer.

905
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: You also have Jason Schwartzman, which I felt was an

906
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: interesting casting, and Viola Davis, who I feel can do

907
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: no wrong. So a pretty solid casting here. And I

908
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: always just have a bit of a problem with prequels.

909
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: They always feel like a little bit of a cash

910
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: grab to me. And I know that this movie is

911
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: based on the book, so they have source material to

912
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: work with, but I'm just not the biggest fan of

913
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: it jumping in ten years after the Hunger Games have

914
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: already been going on. I honestly think a more interesting

915
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: story would be the first ever Hunger Games. But I

916
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: guess you're trying to flesh out the character of President

917
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: Snow and his backstory, so it makes more sense to

918
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: make it now as he is mentoring someone else, much

919
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: like Catnus was mentored in the original Hunger Games. I

920
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: gotta admit they're going to have to prove me wrong here,

921
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: but I don't really feel that invested in knowing more

922
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: about President Snow. It's like, do we really need this?

923
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: Is this really necessary? Is me learning about his backstory

924
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: going to have any effect on how I feel about

925
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: the original movies. So before I saw this trailer, I

926
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: thought maybe that story in this movie wouldn't be entirely necessary.

927
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: But now as I see this trailer, I do feel

928
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: like this movie will have a little bit more of

929
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: an edge to it that I felt like the original

930
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: movies kind of lacked because the Hunger Games was all

931
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: about the war going on. It was all about how

932
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: the people were being done wrong by the Capitol. There

933
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: was always a lot of tension, and I never really

934
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: feel like that translated as much as it needed to

935
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: in the original Hunger Games movies. So I feel like

936
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: if this movie, which it kind of looks like it

937
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: will dig into a little bit more deeper and makes

938
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: the games more intense and brutal and violent and make

939
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: them out to be a real travesty, this movie could

940
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: pack a little bit more of a punch. I also

941
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: love that the visual effects look a lot better in

942
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: this movie. That design looks great. You have all the

943
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: same great looking costumes a little bit less over the

944
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: top and jarring in this trailer, So maybe that will

945
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: have a better effect on the overall tone in this movie,

946
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: and I am glad that they are making this a

947
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: movie and not going the way of some of the

948
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: other book franchises and making TV shows and series. There

949
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: is a Harry Potter series in development at Max which

950
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: will be based on the original books. I feel like

951
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: that is going to diminish the value of those original movies.

952
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: They really shouldn't touch it. They really shouldn't remake anything.

953
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: And then you also have them making a Twilight series

954
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: which isn't attached to any network or streaming service yet.

955
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: But I feel like when you do that, you get

956
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: away from the source material and instead you're kind of

957
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: just using the name and that fandom to your advantage

958
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: to crank out a series when it should probably just

959
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: be a movie. And that's also due to the fact

960
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: that there are just so many TV shows out right

961
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: now and so many things that you can invest your

962
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: time in. I just want to see the movie. I

963
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: just want to see the best parts. That is always

964
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: why I'm just the biggest fan of movie over TV.

965
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: If you haven't been able to tell, I'm very much

966
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: a person who likes completion. I like going into something

967
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: knowing there's gonna be a beginning, middle, and end. And

968
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: that is it. I don't want to invest any more

969
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: of my time on something that, if it's a book adaptation,

970
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: could be pretty mediocre. So glad they're making this a

971
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: movie and not a series. So essentially, this movie will

972
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: serve as the backstory of President snow and show us

973
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: how he turned out to be as messed up as

974
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: he did when we get to know him in the

975
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: original movies. But I kind of would have rather seen

976
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: somebody else who won the Hunger Games, like hey, Mitch,

977
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: maybe they make more movies later down the line of

978
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: showing all of the victors and their stories, you could

979
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: really go on forever, and this could be the start

980
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: of a revival for the series. It seems to still

981
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: be teenage focused, just looking at all the casts, looking

982
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: at the fact that it is an eighteen year old

983
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: snow Here mentoring Lucy, who is also a female tribute

984
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: from District twelve, much like the original movie, So a

985
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: lot of parallels in this one. So I was honest

986
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: expecting this movie to feel like another cash grab, but

987
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: this trailer has me convinced otherwise. I think there's some

988
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: real cinematic value here. So this movie is coming out

989
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: later this year. In theaters on November seventeenth. I could

990
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: see it crushing going into the Thanksgiving holiday, and it

991
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: looks like if I wanted to, I would have enough

992
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: time to read the book. But my wife has a

993
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: copy of it and it is a thick book. And

994
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: my problem recently is I've started about three books and

995
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: not been able to finish them, and I would say

996
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: probably two years. So I don't see that changing right now. Sorry,

997
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: but I'm just going to watch the movie. And that

998
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: was this week's edition of Movie by Framer Bar and

999
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: that's going to do it for another episode here of

1000
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: the podcast. But before I go, I got to give

1001
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: my listeners shout out of the week, which is something

1002
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: I've been doing since the very beginning of this podcast.

1003
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: All you have to do is tag me in your

1004
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Instagram story, dm me or email me Moviemike d at

1005
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. And this week's shout out is to

1006
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: Amanda Pritchett, who tagged me in her Instagram story. It

1007
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: was a greenshot of her listening to the episode about

1008
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: ten things in film that twist my nipples, and she wrote,

1009
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: this episode was the most relatable thing. Loved it worth

1010
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: the listen and not only that, but also linked up

1011
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: the podcast. So this is my thanks to you for

1012
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: sharing the podcast with all your followers. You are this

1013
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: week's listener of the week. Thank you for being a

1014
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: part of the movie crew. Also will give a bonus

1015
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: shout out to Warner Brothers who just sent me the

1016
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: five film Superman collection, so it has all five original

1017
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: Superman movies from nineteen seventy eight to nineteen eighty seven.

1018
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: The weird thing is, I was just thinking about how

1019
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to rewatch all the Superman movies. With all

1020
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: the talk about James Gunn working on the next one,

1021
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: it made me realize that I hadn't seen the original

1022
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: movies in a very long time, probably since I was

1023
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: a kid. And then, shortly after thinking that, what shows

1024
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: up in my mailbox this five film collection with all

1025
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: the four K movies. So I'm excited to dive into

1026
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 1: those movies. This collection is actually coming out on May ninth,

1027
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: So if you are like me and still enjoy colecting

1028
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: and owning physical media, that is something you can pick up.

1029
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: There are just very few franchises that I feel connected

1030
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: to to the point to where I feel like I

1031
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: need to own them. I need to own something physical,

1032
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: to feel like it is real, and you also just

1033
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: get better quality when you watch it on Ultra HD

1034
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: or Blu ray. And I am a stickler for quality.

1035
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: As much as I love the visual aspect of movies,

1036
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: I love when movies go back and get remastered and

1037
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: you're able to see them in an entirely different way.

1038
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: So I've always just been very particular on the quality

1039
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: of movies I watch at home. So thank you for listening.

1040
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: I will talk to you again next week, and until then,

1041
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: go out and watch good movies, and I will talk

1042
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: to you later
