1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie Podcast. I 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: with you what I think are the top five final 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: lines in the movie. I went through so many films 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: analyzing the last words spoken in movies. I have what 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: I think are the best of all time. In the 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: movie review, we'll be talking about bad Boys Ride or Die, 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: and in the trailer park we have the first look 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: at Smile Too. I've had kind of an indifferent feeling 10 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: about the first one, but this one could be better, 11 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: so we'll get into that. Thank you for being here, 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: thank you for being subscribed, Shout out to the Monday 13 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies. 14 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 15 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast. 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge. He's basically like a. 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: Walking IMTB with glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. Things I believe are 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: underutilized when it comes to scripts and movies and the 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: way a film in packs you. The opening line, but 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: even more so than that is the closing line. Because 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: when you go watch a movie, whether it be in 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: theaters or you throw something on Netflix, throw it on Max. 25 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: The last line is so important, but I feel like 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: sometimes it's just a throwaway. And the reason I think 27 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: it's because it's so important. You always remember how a 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: movie left you feeling. You could watch a pretty mediocre movie, 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: but if it goes off on a great ending, leaves 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: you on an emotional roller coaster and sends you off 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: by saying, here is everything wrapped up in a nice 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: little package, little bow on it, they ship it off. 33 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: You remember that last bit of dialogue, that last emotion 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: you felt, I feel is so powerful, so how it 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: hooks you with at the very beginning. I think that 36 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: first opening line should be. Like you're writing a book, 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: you want that first line to capture the reader's attention. 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: I feel that should always be the same case in 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: a movie. You want that opening line of dialogue or 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: even action to really grasp us in as the audience. 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: What I feel is even more underutilized than that. And 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: why I'm doing this episode today is that final line. 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: So we're about to get right into the list because 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: I pulled so many of these as I realized that 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: some of the most memorable movie quotes of all time 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: just happen to be the final line spoken in a movie. 47 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: That is what we are looking at. I guess I'll 48 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: have to offer a minor spoiler alert just because we 49 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: are talking about the endings of movies on this podcast. 50 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I have a ten year rule when it comes to 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: talking about spoilers freely and openly, and when it comes 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: to these movies, they are all at least fourteen to 53 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: fifteen years old. Most of these are at least twenty 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: years old, coming out in the nineties, and a lot 55 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: of these are just classics from the eighties and beyond. 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: So I don't think I'll get into anything like, oh 57 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: I was waiting to watch that movie. We're really focusing 58 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: on classics here, but when talking about endings, I do 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: like to issue that warning. But my intention is not 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: to ruin movies for you. It's to focus on iconic 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: moments in movies that even if you haven't seen some 62 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: of these movies, you're probably familiar with these quotes because 63 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: they transcend any spoiler because I feel they have become 64 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: such a part of pop culture. They've been parody, they've 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: been referenced so at number five from nineteen eighty five, 66 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: Back to the Future, Doc played by Christopher Lloyd, has 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: this final line in response to Marty, Hey, Doc, we've 68 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: got to back up. We don't have enough road to. 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: Get up to eighty eight roads, but we're going. We 70 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: don't need roads. 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: To have such an epic movie like Back to the Future, 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: you need a great ending, and Back to the Future's 73 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: final line completely nails it and sums up all the 74 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: adventure in this film. I believe Back to the Future 75 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: is a perfect film. I have a lot of movies 76 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: I believe are perfect films for me that I would 77 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: rate a five out of five. But maybe if I 78 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: had to make a list, there are just ten perfect 79 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: films of all time. Back to the Future is one 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: of those movies. If aliens came down on this planet 81 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: and had no idea what a movie was, I would 82 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: show them Back to the Future because it has action, 83 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: it has adventure, it has sci fi, although if you 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: were showing this movie to an alien they would be like, 85 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: what is this ancient technology? You stupid humans? And then 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: it has romance, it has some weirdness between guy and 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: his mom. Yeah, it gets into every category you can imagine. 88 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: I feel it is a perfect film and it embodies 89 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: everything that I love about movies. For the most part, 90 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: when I go back and think about this movie, this 91 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: is always the quote that sticks out to me. And 92 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: while putting together this list, I almost forgot that this 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: was the fact final scene in the movie. What a 94 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: great quote. That is why back to the future roads 95 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: we're going? We don't need roads? Is that number five 96 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: at number four from two thousand and two Spider Man, 97 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: who was played by Toby maguire. He is Peter Parker, 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: he is Spider Man, And this is the final line 99 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: of dialogue in that movie. 100 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never 101 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 4: forget these words. With great power comes great responsibility. This 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider Man? 103 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: There are so many reasons why that is such a 104 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: great final line. If you rewatch Spider Man from two 105 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: thousand and two, the movie starts with him saying who 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: am I? Are you sure you want to know? And 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: he goes into this little monologue setting up the entire 108 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: story to come, and then it ends with that answering 109 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: that question, stating it again, who am I? I am? 110 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: Spider Man? I love. Out of every superhero, I think 111 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: he has the best hero journey and struggle of what 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: it takes to be a superhero, all that he sacrifices 113 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: of wanting to have love in his life, wanting to 114 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: be with MJ but then also knowing his responsibility to 115 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: the city of New York to be that friendly neighborhood 116 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: Spider Man. I think that is such a great struggle. 117 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: And director Sam Raimi did such a fantastic job with 118 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: the storytelling in this movie to bookend it like that, 119 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: to open asking that question and close it up by 120 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: answering the question and then cutting to some great Spider 121 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: Man swinging footage. And then you also work in one 122 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: of the most memorable superhero quotes of all time, one 123 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: of the best mantras with great power comes great responsibility, 124 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: which we heard earlier in the movie, spoken to him 125 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: by his uncle Ben as he was passing away. So 126 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to bring that quote into this it is so perfect. 127 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: It tells you exactly who Peter Parker and Spider Man 128 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: is and also is foreshadowing of what's to come into 129 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: and how his story will be up in Spider Man three. 130 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: So I think that is such a great ending and 131 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: you think, with Spider Man being my favorite character, that 132 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: would be number one, but you'd probably think that is 133 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: where I would go, but not putting that one at 134 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: number four. At number three from nineteen ninety it is 135 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Goodfellas Henry Hill played by ray Leota. I just love 136 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: it when movies and with a really big, important monologue, 137 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: and that is exactly what happens in this movie. This 138 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: is my favorite Martin Scorsese movie. It's the movie that 139 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: turned ray Lioda into a superstar. He played real life 140 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: goodfella Henry Hill, and this tells you really everything you 141 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: need to know about this character, who throughout the entire 142 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: movie is doing everything in order not to live a 143 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: normal life. It is what he hates the most in life. 144 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to wait in line like everybody else. 145 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: He wants the best treatment. He wants to eat at 146 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: the best restaurants. He wants to have the money, tried 147 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: the car, live in the fancy house. And the worst 148 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: thing you could do to a person like that is 149 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: put him into witness protection where he has to be 150 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: just a normal citizen. So I'll get into more of 151 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: why I love this final line, but here it is 152 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: from Goodfellas. 153 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 4: Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with 154 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: Marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles in Ketchup. 155 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: An average nobody. 156 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: Get to live the rest of my life like a shnook. 157 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I love the touch that Scorsese put on the ending 158 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: of this movie when, well, first it flashes back to 159 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: some things that happened in the movie. You have Joe 160 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: Peshi shooting a gun at the screen, but right as 161 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: Raeliota closes the door, you hear the sound of a 162 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: jail cell closing. And I think that's such a fine 163 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: little touch to add to this scene, because him going 164 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: back into his house in the suburbs is basically him 165 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: being in prison, because at the time that this scene happens, 166 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: he rat it on everybody in exchange for not having 167 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: to go to prison. And even though he didn't go 168 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: into a real physical prison, his home has now become 169 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: that exact same thing. And like you said, he wanted 170 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: fancy spaghetti instead, he got egg noodles in Ketchup. I 171 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: would always find myself saying that line. And this movie 172 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: also starts with one of the best opening lines of 173 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: all time, which is an episode for another day. But 174 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: it embodies everything I love about a crime movie. The rise, 175 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: oh and then the fall when they fall so hard 176 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: and you see him just standing there in his robes, 177 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: so defeated. What a great line, What a great delivery 178 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: from Rayleota Rip from nineteen ninety at number three, I 179 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: Have a Good Fellas at number two from two thousand 180 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: and eight, It has to go to Iron Man. I 181 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: tried not to go super hero heavy on this list, 182 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: but some of these are just undeniable. In two thousand 183 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: and eight, Iron Man is the movie that kicked off 184 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: the MCU before the concept of a cinematic universe was 185 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: even the thing. I guess maybe Star Wars had that, 186 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: but not how we know it now. Iron Man kick 187 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: that all off. This line blew my mind back in 188 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and in one line really set 189 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: up what was to come for the next eleven years, 190 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: finally ending in twenty nineteen with Endgame. But here is 191 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: the final line from iron Man, truth is I Am 192 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: iron Man. What an epic moment. And I think the 193 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: reason it blew my mind so much in two thousand 194 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: and eight is when I thought of superheroes, I always 195 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: thought of people who had to protect their identity. It 196 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: was such a big thing for Spider Man not to 197 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: have his identity revealed. He didn't want anybody knowing he 198 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: was Peter Parker in order to protect the ones that 199 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: he loves. That is the ultimate goal for a superhero 200 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: is no one can find out who you really are. 201 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: Dating back to the first superhero, Superman, who would throw 202 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: on some glass, he says, to become Clark Ken, just 203 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: the average nerd reporter working at the Daily Planet, but 204 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: also Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy who didn't want anybody 205 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: to know that at night he was going around beating 206 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: criminals as the vigilante in Gotham. Nobody wanted to have 207 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: their identity revealed. But now here you have Tony Stark, 208 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: who was so eccentric, so over the top, so flashy, 209 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: so cocky. He wants everybody to know that he is 210 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: Iron Man. He has been the ones saving the day, 211 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: he has been the guy inside the suit. And I 212 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: just think that it's such a bold thing for a 213 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: superhero to do. Puts a target on his back, but 214 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: what an epic way to end a movie revealing that 215 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: you are the superhero. I don't think until Endgame, where 216 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: it all went full circle. That has been the only 217 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: time after that where a final line in a superhero 218 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: movie has been as epic. Nothing will ever come close 219 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: to this moment again, Our DJ, what can I say? 220 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to come back as 221 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: iron Man. He's been talking an interview saying he could 222 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: come back the whole fate of the next Avengers movie. 223 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be like sixty plus characters in this, 224 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: so I can imagine iron Man would be one that 225 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: they would really want in order to make that movie successful. 226 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: If they still end up making it based on Secret Wars. 227 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: Iron Man was obviously a part of that, and I 228 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: think that would work because in Secret Wars you have 229 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: different groups of superheroes. Youah the X Men working together, 230 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: you have the Avengers working together, you have the villains 231 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: in there. So I could see them doing that. They 232 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: would have to pay a lot of money though, if 233 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: they want Robert Downey Jr. To be the face of 234 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: that movie or even to have a cameo. He was 235 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: making twenty plus all so much money being iron Man. 236 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: I think it would be epic, And as much as 237 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: I want his character to just be what it is, 238 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: have the memory of all the movies he gave us 239 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: in the twentys, and with him being so open talking 240 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: about it, I think it could happen. But that is 241 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: why I put this one at number two. At number one, 242 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: there's a movie I just rewatched for the first time 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: in a long time from nineteen ninety five, The Usual 244 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 1: Suspects characters Verbal Kent played by Kevin Spacey. Now, the 245 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: movie came out back in ninety five, and I probably 246 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: watched it when I was maybe a couple years after that, 247 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: ninety six ninety seven. I was probably six, seven, maybe 248 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: eight years old when I first watched The Usual Suspects, 249 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: and this movie blew my mind. This is what I'll 250 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: give a minor spoiler alert if you've never seen The 251 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Usual Suspects. But I believe that this ending is so iconic. 252 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: If you look up just lists of the best movie 253 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: endings of all time, this one is always on there. 254 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: And I haven't watched this movie quite a while, but 255 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: we did a bit on the Big Show, The Bobby 256 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: Bone Show, where we all had to watch this movie, 257 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: and this movie felt nostalgic to me, And I think 258 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: it's weird for such a random R movie to feel 259 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: like my childhood. But I remember when I first watched 260 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: this it felt so dark. It felt like this fairy 261 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: tale that you would tell kids, much like they talk 262 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: about in the movie, to scare them. It had this 263 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: very sinister vibe. And the movie was made for a 264 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: relatively low budget, and I still think it looks pretty 265 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: good given the amount of money that was spent in it. 266 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: I guess by today's standards it looks very dated. Some 267 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: of the production qualities aren't as slick, but when it 268 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: comes to the storytelling, it is just unmatched in how 269 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: such a unusual, relatively simple story just sucks you in. 270 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: And I'll talk about it more, but here's the final 271 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: line spoken when everything comes full circle in this twist 272 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: from the usual suspects, The greatest trick the Devil ever 273 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist, and like that, 274 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: he's gone. So again spoiler alert, even though the movie 275 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: has been out since nineteen ninety five, you find out 276 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: that verbal Kent has been lying this entire time, hasn't 277 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: been who he says he is, and has placed him 278 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: into this story and has put it all together by 279 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: things in the background of the room that he's being interrogated. 280 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: In you see the officer who's been interrogating him put 281 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: all the pieces together. He's looking up at the wall. 282 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: His coffee cup is falling in slow motion, and then 283 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: you see verbal Kent walking and it goes from him 284 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: having this handicap when he walks to walking smoothly lighting 285 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: up a cigarette, and then you realize that he has 286 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: been Kaiser SoSE the entire time. So endo spoiler alert here. 287 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: And that final line, which was also spoken earlier in 288 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: the movie, is just a way to summarize everything what 289 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: you were fearing about Kaiser SoSE. That is just such 290 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: a great line. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled 291 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: was convincing the world it didn't exist. I feel like 292 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: if this quote wasn't so dark by having the word 293 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: devil in it, you could take this quote and put 294 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: it on one of those word painting to get from 295 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: like Marshalls or Ross, and it would be in everybody's kitchen, 296 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: like above the copy maker. This could replace the live 297 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: laugh love for movie lovers. That's what this should be. 298 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: So the reason I put this on at number one 299 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: is because it blew my mind as a kid. It 300 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: is not only the best final line, in my opinion, 301 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: but also one of the best endings to a movie ever, 302 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: with such a twist that even rewatching gets several I mean, 303 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: like a decade plus later. More than that, it still 304 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: hit hard even though I knew it was coming. And 305 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: this is an ending that has been referenced and talked 306 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: about a lot, but I feel like even if you 307 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: already knew the ending without seeing the movie, you would 308 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: still find this movie as entertaining by knowing what is coming, 309 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: by knowing it has a twist ending. It is a 310 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: perfect ending on what I believe is one of the 311 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: best movies from the nineties, and that is what I 312 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: consider to be the top final line in a movie 313 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: of old time. Running through some honorable mentions here, one 314 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: that I had that almost made the list was the 315 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: final line spoken in The Truman Show in case I 316 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Yeah, 317 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: because that was his catchphrase in his life. Because it 318 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: was a movie about a person who didn't know they 319 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: were inside of a TV show, and then he has 320 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: the spotlight on him. He's a batter escape and they 321 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: ask him, well, what do you want to say? Everybody's watching? Well, 322 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: he says his catchphrase, of course, but then I think 323 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: there's another character who is watching TV and asks like, 324 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: what else is on? So really that is probably the 325 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: final line if you're being technical, in The Truman Show. 326 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: So that's why that one just missed my top five. 327 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: Another one I had from nineteen eighty five is the 328 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: final line in Ferris Buehler's Day Off. And I feel 329 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: like this one is great because not only is it 330 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: a great final line, but it's also kind of motivational, 331 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: inspirational if you will. 332 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 3: I said it before and I'll say it again. 333 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around 334 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: once in a while. You could miss it. That's a 335 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: good one. Another good one from a superhero movie that 336 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: almost made the list was the final line in The 337 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: Dark Night, And I remember the first time I saw 338 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: this movie in theaters, I didn't exactly get the ending 339 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: why they had to chase Batman, and going back rewatching 340 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: this movie so many times. This is a movie that 341 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: no matter anytime it's on TV or even if I 342 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: just see it pop up on a streaming service like 343 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: recently I had it, I will sit down and watch 344 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: this movie. But here's the final line. From Commissioner Gordon 345 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: explaining to his son why they have to chase Batman because. 346 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: He's not higher up. He's a sign of God. I'm 347 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 3: watchful protector the doc Knight. 348 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: That motivates me. I'm go rewatch that now after I 349 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: finish this podcast. I also have the final line spoken 350 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: in the Transformers movie from two thousand and seven. 351 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: Like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. 352 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to 353 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 3: any surviving autobots taking refuge among the stars. 354 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: We are here, we are waiting, and then you smash 355 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: cut to you, directed by Michael Bay with Lincoln Park 356 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: playing underneath it. That just feels like quintessential two thousand 357 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: and seven to me. And I just love the sound 358 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: of Peter Collen's voice as Optimist Prime, and that is 359 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: just the way You're in the movie in a really 360 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: epic way, a big voice over and then the smash 361 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: hit and you. I also work in the most iconic 362 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: tagline that any toy ever Transformers more than meets the eye. 363 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that is a perfect ending. I 364 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: also have the final line from Fight Club and what 365 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: I also believe is one of the best endings of 366 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: all time and one of the best uses of a 367 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: song in a movie. If you met me at a 368 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: very strange time, You met me at a very strange 369 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: time in my life. This is the cult classic. I 370 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: feel like if you ask any film bro, this could 371 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: probably be their favorite movie of all time. What an 372 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: epics scene you have Edward Norton standing there, buildings blowing up, 373 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Pixie's playing over it. Another great one that people might 374 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: not mention is from two thousand and nine, The Hangover. 375 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: I'll play the line and tell you why. I think 376 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: it's one of the best final lines in a movie. 377 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: Oh fear lord, that's classics. It's because this is the 378 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: moment in the movie where you finally see the crazy 379 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: night they had. The whole time they talking about it, 380 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: piecing together all the memories, but then they decide to 381 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: actually look at the digital camera. Which digital camera, we 382 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: don't have those anymore. You can never really recreate this 383 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: scene because you just have all the pictures on your 384 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: phone and just go swipe through. But they go back 385 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: and during the credits you see all the pictures how 386 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: we lost this tooth, how they met up with Mike Tyson, 387 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: and I just love that reaction. Oh fear lord, that's classics. 388 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: So that's a great one. I also have some classics 389 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: on my list, like the final line and Wizard of Oz, 390 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: which also brings back a quote from earlier in the 391 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: movie There's no place like Home, something I think they 392 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: should bring back into movies if they could find a 393 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: way to do it. Not as cheesy, but back in 394 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: the forties and the thirties, movies would end with the 395 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: final line of dialogue. You'd have this big classical music 396 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: playing underneath it, although it was probably modern at the time, 397 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: and then you have the end. That is how everything 398 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: ended back in the day, to let you know the 399 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: movie was over, or the TV show the end. We 400 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: don't really do that anymore. Maybe it's too dated. Probably 401 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: only somebody like a Quentin Tarantino could do that effectively. 402 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: But it also happens in another movie I have on 403 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: my list here, the end of Casablanca. 404 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: CHOI. 405 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, 406 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: and then bam, it hits you with the end. That 407 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: way you know it is time to leave the theater 408 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: and get back, and you'll ford model T. I'll run 409 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: through a few more here my favorite horror movie of 410 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: all time from nineteen seventy eight Halloween, A distraught Lorie 411 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Strode who just dealt with the psychotic babysitter killer. This 412 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: is her words and doctor Loomis's words. As a matter 413 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: of fact, it was you also have this ending from 414 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, since you was yours the Breakfast Club, 415 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: so not only him reading the letter, but also him 416 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: doing the fist pump and that don't you forget about me? 417 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: Another one I have on the list. I have a 418 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: lot of these. I went down a big rabbit hole, 419 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: as you can tell putting together this list. But I 420 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: have the final line from the original Planet of the 421 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: Apes movie back from nineteen sixty eight, Charlton Heston, Yo, 422 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: you'll flow up on damn you d I think the reason, honestly, 423 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: I love that one so much is because Homer Simpson 424 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: did a parody of it on The Simpsons in the nineties. 425 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: Yoo x yo, blow it up. Damn damn. That is 426 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: the list. We'll come back and talk about what I 427 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: think about Bad Boys, Write or Die? Is it worth 428 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: your money to still check it out in theaters and 429 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: in the trailer park. We'll be talking about Smile too. 430 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review 431 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: of Bad Always Write or Die. The question I want 432 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: to answer about this review because I got it in 433 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the DM. Our audiences ready to forgive Will Smith after 434 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: the Oscar slab. It's been so long now for me, 435 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about it. The only movie it 436 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: really affected me with was Emancipation that came out. It 437 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: was his follow up film after that. I will say 438 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: it did tarnish the way I felt about King Richard, 439 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: which he finally wanted Oscar for had been clawing at 440 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: it for so long to try to get that. Oscar 441 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: finally does. And then the whole slap situation goes down 442 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: with Chris Rock and we all started to feel differently 443 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: about him. That's because he has this image online that 444 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: is so positive and he seems so cool, and I 445 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: feel like after that, for me, it took me a 446 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: little bit to want to see him in something again. 447 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: And it wasn't until I got this DM. And I'll 448 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: actually read the DM from Falcons Gaming who said, honestly, 449 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: not sure I can ever see another Will Smith move 450 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: after the slap and I used to really like him 451 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: real DM. We got there and I replied, because I 452 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: didn't really think about that going into this movie, and 453 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: Will Smith has kind of been in a slump. But 454 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: for me, I just enjoy the Bad Boys movies, not 455 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: even so much for his performance. I went to seeing 456 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: this one even forgetting about the slap because I love 457 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: Martin Lawrence. Martin Lawrence and any kind of buddy cop 458 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: or action movie is gold. One of my favorite movies 459 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: from the nineties Blue Streak, which he is just hysterical in, 460 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: so going into this that, I think I gotta get 461 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: over the slap thing. I didn't really think a whole 462 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: lot about it, but I think by seeing the box 463 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: office numbers, by seeing who is actually going to watch 464 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: the Bad Boys movies, I think audiences are starting to 465 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: forgive him. It is now the sixth highest grossing movie 466 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: of the year, so I think we are ready to 467 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: forgive him. So what happens in Bad Boys Right Die? Well, 468 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: first of all, let's address the title, because in twenty twenty, 469 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Bad Boys for Life came out, which was the third one, 470 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: they completely missed the boat. That leads me to believe 471 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: that maybe they didn't really have a plan for all 472 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: these movies, that one being the first one, in a 473 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: very long time since the nineties and early two thousands 474 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: that come out. I think if they had this master 475 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: plan drawn out, that it would have waited on the 476 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: title and waited for this one to be Bad Boys 477 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: the Number four Life. But it's fine. Probably because that 478 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: one was so successful back in twenty twenty, which was 479 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: one of the only movies that year that I got 480 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: to see in theaters, they decided to make another one 481 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: and have it come out just four years later. Wherever 482 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: there is money to be made on a successful franchise 483 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: with two A list stars, you're gonna make that money. 484 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: And I think I'm a bigger fan of where the 485 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: franchise is going now than I was when it first started, 486 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: which I think in the beginning they took themselves a 487 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: little bit more seriously. Michael Bay was directing them. He's 488 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: no longer directing. Does make a cameo in this movie, 489 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: and I feel like they're going a little bit more 490 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: in the direction of how the Fast and the Furious 491 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: movies are not so much about racing anymore and then 492 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: more just about big action. The characters are essentially superheroes. Now, 493 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: I will say Bad Boys is still a little bit 494 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: more grounded in reality, but I think give it a 495 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: five a six, and they'll probably get a little bit 496 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: more extravagant when it comes to the plot. But in 497 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: this one, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back as 498 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Mike and Marcus. There are still cops in Miami. At 499 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: the beginning of the movie, Will Smith gets married, so 500 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: he's trying to settle down. It addresses all the issues 501 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: from his past, and Martin Lawrence is trying to live 502 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: a healthier life. And I'll just say Martin Lawrence carried 503 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: this entire movie his whole storyline about trying to get healthier, 504 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: not to eat junk food. At the very beginning of 505 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: the movie, he suffers a heart attack and then has 506 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: this vision of what his life is going to be, 507 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: and that is really the driving force of this movie, 508 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: of him having this epiphany, suddenly seeing things clearly and 509 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: knowing that him and Mike are about to go through 510 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: something really crazy and really intense. And we find out 511 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: about this at the beginning of the movie wherever their 512 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: old lieutenant who has now passed away. He is being 513 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: framed and some evil people are making it look like 514 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: he had some ties to the cartel. So now Mike 515 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: and Marcus are teaming up to take down some crooked cops. 516 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: Pretty easy setup. And then in the mix of all this, 517 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: you have Mike's a strange son that we learned about 518 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: in the third one returning in this one, and he 519 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: is supposed to be kind of a piece in the 520 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: puzzle to help them clear the name of their late lieutenant. 521 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: You go through all these ups and downs of him 522 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: trying to clear his name and then having to clear 523 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: their own name because nobody believes them. First question I'll 524 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: address is is do you have to watch all other 525 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: three movies to understand and enjoy this one? To that, 526 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: I say no. Kelsey went with me. She has never 527 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,239 Speaker 1: seen a Bad Boys movie in her life, and it 528 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: didn't take her too long to realize what was going on. 529 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: They do a pretty good job at reminding you of 530 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: the plot points you need to know from part three, 531 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: at least the ones that involved Will Smith's son in 532 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: this movie. So would it be a little bit more 533 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: clear why he is there, why there's animosity between the two? Yeah? Probably, 534 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: and that is really what you get from watching the 535 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: previous movies to any franchise, But I don't think it's 536 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: necessary you could go into this movie still understand it, 537 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: still enjoy it, but if you have seen Part one, two, 538 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: and three, I feel like it'll be a little bit 539 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: more gratifying. There will be some obvious callbacks to those movies, 540 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: so in any case, it does help to watch them all, 541 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's necessary here. But if you 542 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: are a fan of Part one, two and three, this 543 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: one's good, gonna enjoy it because it is everybody doing 544 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: what they do best, Will Smith being the straight laced 545 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: guy and Martin Lawrence being the one bringing the slapstick 546 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: comedy doing the really wacky and hilarious things. All of 547 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: my favorite moments from this movie all revolved around Martin Lawrence. 548 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: He is just so funny, and you put a gun 549 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: in his hand and have him chase criminals. It is hilarious, 550 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: and not only did it bring the humor, it also 551 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: brought the action that paired with some really slick camera movements. 552 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: There's some really cool behind the scenes you can watch 553 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: while they were making this movie, in particular the final 554 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,479 Speaker 1: battle scene, and they have these camera rigs that they 555 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: wear on their shoulders. So there's this one clip, but 556 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: Will Smith putting this camera over his shoulders and he's 557 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: holding his gun, so you get this first person perspective. 558 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: It's almost like you're playing Call of Duty and it's 559 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: just right there, puts you in the action. And I 560 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: thought that was a really slick way to advance some 561 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: of this action. Because we've seen shootouts time and time again, 562 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to really make those fun and exciting. To 563 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: having the camera flip around one hundred and eighty degrees 564 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: and you get this first person perspective. A Will Smith 565 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: and Martin Lawrence, they do this one gun toss that's 566 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: just a really slick movement. Again, so it almost feels 567 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: like the movie just gets taken over by a video game. 568 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: I love that aspect of it. Obviously, Michael Bay is 569 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: not directing this movie, and he makes a cameo. It 570 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: was kind of like finding stan Lee in the Marvel 571 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: movie whenever Michael Bay popped out really quick thing. If 572 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: you blink, you miss it. But that was another fun 573 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: element of this movie. Lots and lots of cameos. Everybody 574 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: from DJ Khaled to copy le May, who is the 575 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: most followed person on TikTok. If you saw his face 576 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: you would recognize him. I think in the inception of 577 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: TikTok back in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, and I 578 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: was on there so early. He would dominate my feed. 579 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: And he is the guy who would make videos where 580 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: people are trying to show life hacks. One in particular, 581 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,959 Speaker 1: I think the first one I saw from him, It 582 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: was somebody trying to show how to get out of 583 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: your car if you ever lock the keys inside, but 584 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: you're also inside the car, so they create this whole 585 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: contraption to put something through the window and open the 586 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: door handle outside. And then he cuts to doing a 587 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: video that well, if you're inside the car, you can 588 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: just unlock it normally, and he does this hand movement 589 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: towards the camera. So in his videos never says anything. 590 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: He's just calling out these dumb life hacks and pointing 591 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: out the obvious of what you can do. I will say, 592 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: out of all the cameos, I was the most excited 593 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: about that one because I've never seen him in a 594 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: movie before, always seen him on my phone. The only 595 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: injustice I see is that Will Smith is still paid 596 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: a substantial amount more than Martin Lawrence. I don't understand it. 597 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: He made twenty five million dollars for this movie, Martin 598 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: Lawrence is reported to only have made about six to 599 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, and I get that Will Smith is 600 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: the bigger name, but when it comes to the performances, 601 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: Will Smith's acting was a little bit flat in this one. 602 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: And I know his character goes through some things dealing 603 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: with a little bit of mental health issues as a 604 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: result of being an officer, but still Martin Lawrence was 605 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: much more of a driving and dominating force that I 606 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: can't believe that he was not paid more than I 607 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: think six to fifteen million dollars, So I feel like 608 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: it should be paid the exact same because even though 609 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: Will Smith, I guess at this point, is still the 610 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: bigger name, they would not be as successful if it 611 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: wasn't for Martin Lawrence bringing the comedy. The movie is 612 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: now the sixth highest grossing movie of the year, although 613 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: it just got beat out by Inside Out two, which 614 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: is now in that five slot. But on one hundred 615 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: million dollar budget, it's now made two hundred and eighteen 616 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: million dollars, so the movie is now profitable. And an 617 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: interesting study that I saw that came out about who 618 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: is going to see this movie? Industry analysts report that 619 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: forty four percent of the audience for this movie has 620 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: been black, twenty six has been Hispanic or Latino. I 621 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: fall right there in that demograph, and I think it's 622 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: because of the cast of this movie just shows more 623 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: representation that feels more natural. Two leads that are black, 624 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: you have some Hispanic and Latino supporting actors, so I 625 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: think the representation is there. But because of those minorities 626 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: coming out and supporting this movie, it had a better 627 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: opening than Mad Max Furiosa and The Fall Guy, So 628 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 1: a big win there. And for me, somebody who wants 629 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: to see more people on screen that look like me, 630 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: have more Hispanic and Latino actors not only being supporting 631 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: actors but also having those leading roles is really important. 632 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: So I think this is a movie, even though maybe 633 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: not pushing the needle so much on filmmaking, it's still 634 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: one that we should support if we want to see 635 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: more of these type of actors being cast and having 636 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: their stories be told. And that is exactly what this 637 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: movie is. It's a great popcorn, summer blockbuster movie that 638 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: you can just turn your mind off and enjoy, have 639 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: some laughs, bring some family, bring some friends. It gives 640 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: you everything you want one that I do think benefits 641 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: from seeing in theaters with a room full of people, 642 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: because not only does it make the action more fun, 643 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: it also makes the comedy just hit a little bit harder. 644 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: So with the success of this one at the box office, 645 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: for sure we are going to get Bad Boys five. 646 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: I think until Will Smith, I would say, and Martin Lawrence, 647 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 1: but I feel like Will Smith would probably do one 648 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: without him. So really, until Will Smith says that he 649 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: has done making the movies, we're going to continue to 650 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: have them. And I think that is great for Bad 651 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: Boys Ride or Die. I give it four out of 652 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: five packs of skills. 653 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike Traylor hard. 654 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: It looks like Smile Too is going for the juggular 655 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to making a horror movie that people 656 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: care about. Again, I wasn't the biggest fan of the 657 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: original one. The main problem I had with it is 658 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: they showed so much of the scary parts in the trailer. 659 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: That is one of my pet peeves when it comes 660 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: to horror movies. You can't give away all the good 661 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: parts in the trailer because then when you go see 662 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: it in theaters, it's already spoiled because you've already felt 663 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: that feeling of fear while watching it at home. So 664 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: I would advise, if you haven't seen Smile one, don't 665 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: watch the trailer and just go into it wanting to 666 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: have a good time. I think I have higher expectations 667 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: when it comes to horror movies coming out right now, 668 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: because it takes a lot for me to be scared. 669 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: But I hated that they did that. The movie started 670 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: out pretty promising, but then in the middle of the 671 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: movie it got pretty sleepy, boring. I almost fell asleep 672 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: at one point, and then the ending was very generic 673 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: and predictable. But the movie only cost seventeen million dollars 674 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 1: to make and went on to gross over two hundred 675 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: and seventeen million dollars worldwide, a fantastic feat. And like 676 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: I've told you guys before, this is the reason people 677 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: continue to bank on horror movie movies because you can 678 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: do them for that lower budget, and then if you 679 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: have a hit on your hands, you make a lot 680 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: of money. And even if it doesn't go on to 681 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: have astronomical numbers like that, you can still have some 682 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: pretty mild success and not be in the hole too much. 683 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: So the fact that they were going to make a 684 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: Smile Too is a no brainer. The thing I really 685 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: loved about the first one as well was the marketing 686 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: that went into it. They had people at baseball games 687 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: just standing there with the grin on their face and 688 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: a smile t shirt that had people wondering why anybody 689 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: would be doing this. You have people googling the movie, 690 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: and Smile To is already getting in on that, putting 691 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: up some billboards across the country that are very ominous. 692 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: So I know that they're going to have some other 693 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: big things in store for this movie. It is coming 694 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 1: out in October, right around spooky season time. This one's 695 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: coming out on October eighteenth. Soci Bacon was the star 696 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: of the first one, who was also Kevin Bacon's daughter. 697 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: She will not be rich in this one, but Kyle Goalliner, 698 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 1: who played the police officer Joel, is returning for this movie. 699 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,240 Speaker 1: You have Naomi Scott playing a pop star. She played 700 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: Jasmine in the live action Aladdin movie. Stars Lucas Gage, 701 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: who you may know from The White LOADUS Season one 702 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: Euphorious Season one. I remember him and we'll always remember 703 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 1: him as being the actor who was on Zoom doing 704 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: an audition during the pandemic, and the director conducting the 705 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: audition didn't realize that Lucas could hear him, and he 706 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: makes a comment on his apartment looking so, in his opinion, 707 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: crappy and making him look like he was poor, and 708 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: Lucas hears what he is saying and reacts to it 709 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 1: and says, yes, I need to get out of this apartment, 710 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: so please cast me in this movie. But before we 711 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,720 Speaker 1: get into more about what Smile To is all about, 712 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the trailer. Huh god, no, no, no, 713 00:38:53,800 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: go ahead? What what is it? Something really crazy to me? 714 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: She keeps seeing this face everywhere. You witnessed a death. 715 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: Now it's latched onto you. So Smile Too is following 716 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: the same structure as the first one, except now we 717 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: have some new victims on our hands. So what happens 718 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: in these movies is you have this demonic presence who 719 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: takes over a person. That person starts having all these 720 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: weird visions. They're essentially going crazy, but nobody believes them. 721 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 1: It eventually gets so bad that it leads that person 722 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: to commit suicide, and right before they do, they get 723 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: a big smile on their face. But then you always 724 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: have a witness who is the next victim. They see 725 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: this person take their life, they see that smile on 726 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: their face, and then the demonic presence latches onto that 727 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: person and you have the cycle repeating over and over again. 728 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: This time, instead of it being a psychotherapist smile to 729 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: sees this pop star that it happens to. In the trailer, 730 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: you see Lucas Gage take his life by smashing his 731 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: face with the barbell. So essentially the trailer has already 732 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: spoiled it for us, all knowing that his character is 733 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: not going to make it. But from that it latches 734 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: on to Sky Ridley, the character in the movie played 735 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: by Naomi Scott, and it looks to be that it 736 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: is going to be a lot more intense than the 737 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: first one. You at one point see a lot of 738 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: people attacking her. It looks to be bigger and bloodier, 739 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: and overall the production on this movie just looks a 740 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 1: lot better than the first one. So maybe they stepped 741 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: up the budget from that seventeen million into probably a 742 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five million dollar budget to make it 743 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: look a little bit more cinematic. So hopefully they are 744 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: able to add a lot more refined horror elements, and 745 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: I feel like they didn't give away everything in this 746 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: trailer because from Smile one, there was one moment in 747 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,240 Speaker 1: particular that was the moment in the trailer and also 748 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: in the movie. I didn't really feel that same way 749 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 1: after watching this trailer, So hopefully they're saving the really 750 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: good stuff for the movie and are only giving us 751 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: really how Lucas Gage dies. But also it looks like 752 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: the detective gets run over by a truck, so maybe 753 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: they also spoiled his death to being one of the 754 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: only characters to return from the original movie. It looks 755 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: like it gets hit by a truck and maybe taken out, 756 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: but you know, in horror movies sometimes things don't apply 757 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: to the main characters. He'll probably end up in a 758 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: hospital bed and be fine. But I do like the 759 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: fact that it's a little bit more creative here. There's 760 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff you can play around with 761 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: the fact that it is a pop star. Although it 762 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of the m Night Shyamalan movie 763 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 1: coming out later this year, Trap, where that father and 764 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,439 Speaker 1: daughter also go to a concert with a pop star 765 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: on stage. I thought I was watching the wrong trailer 766 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: at first. But I think the fact that this pop 767 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: star is in front of a lot of people, probably 768 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: at one point she sees the entire crowd smiling at her, 769 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: freaking her out, or if they decide for her to 770 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: kill herself in front of everybody, what happens if an 771 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: entire crowd of thousands of people sees somebody does the 772 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: demon latch onto every individual person could be interesting there. 773 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: I just hope that the final battle in this movie 774 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: is a lot more gratifying and has just a better 775 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: conclusion than the first one. The thing about the Smile 776 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: franchise that now that it has some success, they'll probably 777 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: do a Smile three and continue it until the numbers 778 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: don't match up and they're not as profitable. But there's 779 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: not really a face of this franchise. When you think 780 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: of horror classics like Chucky, even new horror movies like Megan, 781 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: you have that one central figure that we all latch onto. 782 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: Even all the Saw movies you grasp onto Jigsaw. There 783 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: is the actual Smile and the kind of logo that 784 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: they're now using to identify it, but there's not one 785 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: central character that you see and associate with these movies, 786 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: So I think that will be the thing that this 787 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: film has to overcome. Since you don't have that mascot, 788 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: how do you create a creature that you identify with 789 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: this movie and not just be a generic demon that 790 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: is so forgettable Because I don't really remember exactly what 791 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: it looked like from the first one. I do remember 792 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: hating it though, but even though I wasn't the biggest 793 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: fan of the first one, I saw a lot of 794 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 1: potential in it. I think if they can get past 795 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: that feeling of it just being such a slow burn, 796 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: if they can just get into more action, reduce the runtime, 797 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,760 Speaker 1: if they have to heighten all of the big scary 798 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: moments and make them brutal and make them bloody, and 799 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: just give us a better ending, I have much higher 800 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: hopes for Smile too. I'll be there on October eighteenth 801 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: to check this one out. Will be a great movie 802 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: to watch around Halloween season. At that was this leak's 803 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: edition of Movie B Framer Park and that is gonna 804 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: do it for another episode here of the podcast. But 805 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: before I go, I gotta give my listen shout out 806 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: of the week. I always hop over to social media, 807 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: read all your comments, your dms on Facebook TikTok x. 808 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: I'll even dive into the email moviemke d at gmail 809 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: dot com. But this week's listener shout out of the 810 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: week is Tamara Quinn, who commented on Facebook posted a 811 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: reel over there of My Inside Out to review, and 812 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: Tamara said they can make another one for sure. They 813 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: need love, heartbreak, depression, etc. So many more emotions that 814 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: they haven't talked about, which I agree. There are so 815 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: many more emotions you could explore if Riley grows up 816 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more. I do think depression kind of 817 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: goes hand in hand with anxiety, at least they do 818 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: with me. But could you imagine heartbreak in a Pixar movie. 819 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 1: I think the next one could explore Riley maybe developing 820 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: her first crush, maybe even her first relationship. But then again, 821 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: you have to keep it so wholesome. I don't know 822 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: if Pixar is going to go there. I don't know 823 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: if I want to see that movie. I don't know 824 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: if we are ready for more complex and sad emoment 825 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: notions as you enter into your young adult life. But 826 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: I still think that they will make another one of these. 827 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: So thank you to Mary Quinn commenting on Facebook, thank 828 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: you for listening, thank you for being subscribed, and until 829 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: next time, go out and watch good movies and I 830 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: will talk to you later
