Hello, and we're gonna be talking about, 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: first of all, a little bit different before. I will 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: talk about these two movies first, which are Soul and 10 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: Wonder Woman. And then we're gonna get into the top 11 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: five movies of at least what I think. I want 12 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: to hear what your favorite movie is, and we'll also 13 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: talk about the worst was. There's a lot to talk 14 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: about on this episode. As you can see, I am 15 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: running on caffeine and adrenaline right now, so I'm ready 16 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: to go for this episode. Hope you are too. Without 17 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: any further ado, let's get started. In a world where 18 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man stands 19 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: a movie podcast, A man with so much movie knowledge, 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking audience TV who's glass from 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: the nationale podcast Network more. All right, I'm gonna take 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: a breath now and relax and bring it down. And 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: the movie I want to talk about first is Soul, 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: which if you're not familiar with the movie, it's a 26 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: brand new Pixar movie, which I think people get sometimes 27 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: confused what is Disney and what is Pisarre And the 28 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: way I've kind of been able to break it down 29 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: is Pixar movies are essentially the ones that want to 30 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: make you feel sad and they make you cry at 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: some point in the movie, and the animation is just 32 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: very distinct. First of all, just talk about where you 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: can watch it. It's on Disney Plus and you don't 34 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: have to pay any extra to watch this one. If 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: you have a subscription to Disney Plus, you can watch it. 36 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: But what I found so different about this one, and 37 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: the thing about Pixar is they always kind of try 38 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: to push the limits on what a kid's movie is, 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: which I think that's what people associate these movies with, 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: is being movies made for kids, and over time they've 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: kind of become movies that adults enjoy at the same time. 42 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: But when picks are star the very first movie was 43 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: Toy Story and I was a kid when that came out, 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: and at that time, I really feel like they were 45 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: just making movies for kids. And since they've kind of 46 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: been putting out movies for you know, twenty plus years, 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: they've kind of shifted to where those kids who watched 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: their initial first movies are now older and are either 49 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: showing their kids those first movies or now they're trying 50 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: to kind of get them back with these kind of movies. 51 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: So we get Soul, which is about a great school 52 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: music teacher who didn't really make it as a jazz 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: musician and now he's you know, just teaching kids, but 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: he gets his kind of one big shot again to 55 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: become a real musician in a band. And that's kind 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: of the premise of this movie. But the weird thing 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: about it, I felt like it wasn't really a kids movie. 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: And when I posted about it on Instagram, I saw 59 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: a lot of parents kind of had that same kind 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: of message, like, you know, me, my husband enjoyed it, 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: but our kids, you know, didn't really get it, or 62 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: they laughed still a little bit. But even some parents 63 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: just said they didn't want to show the movie to 64 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: their kids. So how did you feel about Soul. Did 65 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: you think it's a kid's movie? I don't think so. 66 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: I feel like the subject matter was not inappropriate for 67 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: kids anyway. It was just to feel like a little 68 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: above their heads for us, a little kid, like they 69 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't really understand the premise of it because it's about 70 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: kind of finding your purpose and about kind of re 71 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: evaluate reevaluating your life of like Okay, you're having your 72 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: passions be one thing and your purpose in life be 73 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: another thing. And I just think that was something that 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: would kind of go over a kid's head, like a 75 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: kid's not really going to look at this movie and 76 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: think like it look into their lives of like, oh, 77 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: should I be doing what I'm doing? That's not what 78 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: a kids get, Like a six year old what are 79 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: they kind of taking from this movie? So I thought 80 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: that was really interesting. It didn't really feel like a 81 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: movie for kids. And I know pixarre there main characters 82 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: aren't always kids, but I mean it's straight up an 83 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: adult man in his life and his story. So I 84 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: think that's where I was kind of watching this movie 85 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: of like if I was a kid, would I really 86 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: be enjoying this? But aside from that, what did you 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: think about it. I thought it was good. I feel 88 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: like when we watched it, I wasn't I wasn't in 89 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: the place to want to be in my fields while 90 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: watching a movie. I just wasn't like completely in the 91 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: mood for that type of movie. And that's what a 92 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: lot of people said and why we kind of waited 93 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: like a day to watch this because people were saying 94 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: that it's going to make you cry. I never felt 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: the need to cry. Like it kind of hit me 96 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: emotionally in some points when it kind of came to him, 97 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: like realizing that again we won't spoil the movie, but 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: him like kind of having that kind of look on 99 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: his life and something that he had been so passionate 100 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: about for so long and not achieving that and the 101 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: stuff with his family, Like, yeah, I was emotional, but 102 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: there was really no sad part. Like I don't know 103 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: as much as people were saying that it was gonna 104 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: make you cry and make you feel I don't think 105 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: I took that entirely away from it. But I do 106 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: think it's a pretty good message, especially for people right now, 107 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: to kind of like, I don't know, maybe take a 108 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: step back and think about what you're doing in your life. 109 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: So I think if you're going through something like that 110 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: and you watch this movie, it'll probably kind of hit 111 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: you in the gut a little bit. So I could 112 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: see that what I really liked about it. Though we're 113 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: the visuals in this movie, Like you can tell, they 114 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time getting down I mean not 115 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: even just the main characters, but like the secondary characters, 116 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: like even from when he goes to the barbershop and 117 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: there's the character named Dez who I think had like 118 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: the most detail I've ever seen in an animated character, 119 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: from like his beard and his hair in the shading, 120 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: like it looked amazing. And also how well they captured 121 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: New York City in a way that I've never really 122 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: seen in any kind of not just in the animated movie, 123 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: but any kind of movie that kind of depicts New 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: York City. They kind of really got like how it 125 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: feels to be on a sidewalk in New York City 126 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: and like the subway. I don't know, I just thought 127 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: that feel was really cool, and even like the kind 128 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: of abstract moments that they had of like the in 129 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: between places and like the elevator going into kind of 130 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: that whole world, like it was so obscure and abstract, 131 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: but it worked, and I think they made it so 132 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: abstract that it was I felt like it was such 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: a risk because the thing about Pixar movies is they 134 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: make a lot of money off of merchandizing later and 135 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: being able to make like a Disney ride or something 136 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: like that afterwards. And I don't really feel there are 137 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: any characters from this that are like kids are gonna 138 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: want out and buy like a toy or any kind 139 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: of like merchandise with a, you know, a logo on it. 140 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: So I thought they kind of really went trying to 141 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: make something artistic and something with a message more so 142 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: than sticking to the traditional Pixar formula. So I think 143 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: that's where I kind of ranked it so high because 144 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: it was something you for It not my favorite Pixar movie. 145 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say maybe top ten. I think there's 146 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: twenty three Pixar movies. I don't even think it would 147 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: crack that. But a really bold movie for them. I felt, 148 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: what did you rate this one? I gave this one 149 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: a four out of five, four to five, that's pretty good. 150 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: I went with four point five out of five, mainly 151 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: tipped it over the fact that it was so different 152 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: and kind of so bold that I thought pushed it 153 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: over the edge a little bit. And I feel like 154 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: I did a pretty good job at it. So yeah, 155 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: I gave it four point five at A five jazz bands. 156 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: I also thought the characters are really great, the voices 157 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: Tina Fey Tina fe was great. Jamie Foxx, Yeah, there 158 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: was great. But I still don't think it's a kids movie. 159 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't sit my kid down and expect 160 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: them to watch it either, Like, I don't think it 161 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: would hold their attention. Yeah, I mean, aside from it 162 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: being I don't even think it's like that funny. I 163 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: don't think we really laugh watching it. It's not really 164 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: like a yeah, like a comedy. So it'd also be 165 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: kind of weird afterward have to explain it to your 166 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: kids a little bit, like a, so this is what 167 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: was going on with him, this is why this happened, 168 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: and this is what they're trying to explain here. I 169 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: think it's a lot of explaining afterwards. Maybe really young 170 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: kids would just take it for like, Okay, it was 171 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: a fun, bright, colorful movie, and I like that about it, 172 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: But I think older kids would have a lot more 173 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: questions about it, so we're saying it's not a kid's movie. 174 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: If you're an adult going through a crisis right now 175 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: internally and you want to be in your fields, I 176 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: think it's a good one to watch. So there we 177 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: go our thoughts on Soul. I do want to talk 178 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: about Wonder Woman next, and I'm pretty fired up about 179 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: this one, mainly because I've never been ripped up for 180 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: a review, I would say in a really long time 181 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: because of this next movie. And I'm gonna defend myself 182 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: here on the podcast and get my definitive review on 183 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: wonder Woman. So we'll do that next. All right, now, 184 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Wonder Woman nine teen eight four, 185 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: which is the movie I've been excited about pretty much 186 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: the entire year, and we watched it on a couple 187 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: of days after Christmas Day because actually I wasn't gonna 188 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: talk about this, but in Nashville on Christmas Day when 189 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: we were supposed to watch this movie, there was a 190 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: bombing here in town. Like we live about what less 191 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: than four miles away from where it happened, and terribly 192 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: like just tragic what happened downtown, And we woke up 193 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,599 Speaker 1: on Christmas morning and I started reading the news and 194 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: it was crazy. But not only that, about four hours 195 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: after it happened, maybe a little more than that, we 196 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: lost not only internet but self service, so we had 197 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: nothing for like three days. So it kind of pushed 198 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: back when we were gonna watch Wonder Woman. And then 199 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: once we got internet back, it is kind of when 200 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: we decided to watch it, but that was just a 201 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: whole kind of weird time to kind of not be 202 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: able to do anything. But then we got internet back 203 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: and we're all right, let's watch wonder Woman. And we 204 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: sat down and watched it, and I have to say 205 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: I was the most excited I've been to watch a 206 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: movie pretty much all year. Even you notice how excited 207 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: I was to sit down and watch this movie. I 208 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: couldn't tell them was the excitement about getting the internet 209 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: back or the movie. It was a lot of things. 210 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: And I saw the Rotten Tomato score go down significantly 211 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: on this significantly. On this movie. It went from like 212 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: an eight, I think even at one point and now 213 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: it's at and I feel it kind of had the 214 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: same thing that happened to it that Birds have prayed 215 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: earlier this year, which I actually liked a lot too, 216 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: that some initial reviews came out about it and said 217 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: it was bad, and then a bunch of other people 218 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: started dog piling on it and said it wasn't very good, 219 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: and I felt that's kind of what made the score 220 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: go down. So I also kind of sat with those 221 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: like in the back of my head of just knowing 222 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: that it might not be as good as I expected. 223 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: But we watched it, and I have to say, from 224 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: the very start, like there wasn't any point in the 225 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: movie where I felt like it sucked, And it was 226 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: hard for me to go back afterward and try to 227 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: pick apart things that maybe people didn't like. But I 228 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: like the entire movie from start to finish, and I 229 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: was excited afterward and kind of just gave my initial 230 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: review on my Instagram and then the comments started rolling in. 231 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: So I'll kind of go through the movie without spoiling 232 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: it of what I thought about it and why I 233 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: actually thought it was a good movie. So I think 234 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: from the opening, it was a fun opening, which I 235 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: think is a big thing for any kind of comic 236 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: book movie to have that kind of big opening scene, 237 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: and I thought this one was great. What I think 238 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: people didn't like about the movie overall was like the 239 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: kind of cheesiness, and some people said that's like the 240 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: special effects weren't that great, But what I felt is 241 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: that it was kind of trying to be an ode 242 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: to like the original Wonder Woman TV show. It kind 243 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: of had that campingess. It kind of had that kind 244 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: of like not so overly done special effects, which I 245 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: feel like other DC movies kind of do. And I 246 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: am a more of a Marvel fan, Like I've seen 247 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: every Marvel movie and that's kind of my go to 248 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: all the time, So all the Avenger stuff like that's 249 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: my lane. And I'll agree that DC movies usually aren't 250 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: as good, but every now and then there's one that 251 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: comes out that I just like, and it happens to 252 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: be movies with female leads, and those are the ones 253 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: that I kind of say that DC should kind of 254 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: stay and really focused on those, because I think that's 255 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: what they actually do well. So even though some of 256 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: the parts did feel and maybe look a little bit cheesy, 257 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: I thought it worked because there's certain scenes where she's 258 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: like running and it looks a little funny, or even 259 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: like the scenes where she you know, some of the 260 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: action scenes it looks. I don't know, But the problem 261 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: with it is that, like the Batman movies and Superman movies, 262 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: I feel like those are so like highly like high 263 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: special effects to where it's unenjoyable and you realize that 264 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: you're kind of watching actor is that are probably in 265 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: some big, you know, warehouse doing this movie. So I 266 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: felt like this one had more of a human feel 267 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: to it than other ones. I wonder too, if there's 268 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: anything to the fact that, I mean, it was made 269 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: and designed to be shown in theaters and not on 270 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: your home TV, Like, do you think there's any difference 271 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: there and watching things like that on a big screen. 272 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: That has a little bit to do with it too. 273 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: It depends on you're kind of taking into account of 274 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: what people are watching it at home, Like if you like, 275 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: we watched it on our TV, but other people could 276 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: watch it on the laptop or even their phone, So 277 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: knowing how everybody kind of experienced didn't watched it, that 278 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: kind of factors into it too. Maybe a look crappy 279 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: on a cell phone. Aside from that, from the opening scene, 280 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: I kind of again took it into my head if 281 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: I was like if I was a girl, maybe like 282 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, five, six, seven years old watching this 283 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: movie like I would be inspired because there's not a 284 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: whole lot of female superheroes out there, aside from Captain 285 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: Mark Ruble and then the Black Widow movie, who hasn't 286 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: come out yet. There's nothing really that could represent like 287 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: a strong female lead. And basically every superhero movie is 288 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: about some dude, and in this one, it's wonder Woman 289 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: main character, the hero of the entire movie. She never 290 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: has a sidekicks, she never has any help, It's all her. 291 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: I feel like some people wanted to not enjoy this 292 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: movie and it kind of became a thing too jump 293 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: on with all the bad reviews and not like it. 294 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: So I thought the villain was great. What's great about 295 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: a good superhero movie is I feel like at some 296 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: point in the movie you have to feel like there's 297 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: no way they're gonna be able to defeat the villain, 298 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: and I got that from this movie. I was like, like, 299 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: what exactly is going to happen? And then you find 300 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: out at the end. So I gave it a whopping 301 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: four out of five Lassos, and apparently that was like 302 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: too too high for everybody online, which gave it like 303 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: two out of five, and everybody was saying that I've 304 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: watched my credibility, like you don't know, like did we 305 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: watch the same movie? And I replied to a couple 306 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: of people giving my thoughts on it, but I stand 307 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: by it, like you, I watched it and I felt 308 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: everything I do in any kind of normal superhero movie, 309 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: and there was really nothing I could pick apart to 310 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: take away from it as a whole. So I stand 311 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: by that review still now almost a week out from 312 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: watching it. What did you rate it and how do 313 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: you kind of feel about it? I gave it a 314 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: three point seven five out of five. I thought it 315 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: was really good. I didn't pick a parting. I also 316 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: didn't leave it thinking, wow, that was like the best 317 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: superhero movie I've ever seen. Like I think you either. 318 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: I think there's either the movies that like move you, 319 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: like think about Walking Out of Black Panther. I saw 320 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: that several times in theaters, and every time you left, 321 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: you're just like that's amazing, like I felt something or 322 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: you just kind of enjoy it. And I felt like 323 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: this was in the enjoy it camp enjoyed it. Yeah, 324 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: wasn't the best thing I've ever seen. It's not the 325 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: worst by far. I thought it was good. Yeah, I'd 326 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: recommend it. There's also nothing else to watch, Like I'm 327 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: at the point where I'm just like I need something 328 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: to watch, Like I'll watch anything new. We haven't had 329 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: big screen like movies this year. That it was good. Yeah, 330 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: And if you want to watch it, the only way 331 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: to watch it you either have to go to a 332 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: movie theater, which a whole lot of I mean a 333 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: lot of people did, Like I think I made a 334 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars at the box office, which is a lot. 335 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Or you can watch it on HBO Max, which is 336 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: only available in North America right now, and I think 337 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: they're going to roll it out into the world soon. 338 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: So if you have a subscription there, that's I mean, 339 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: that's fifteen bucks a month. You think about how much 340 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: you spend on tickets, it's still you still save money. 341 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: And they're putting out a lot of movies there this year. 342 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: Next week I'll kind of break down like the most 343 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: anticipated movies. But I mean, just like three months ago, 344 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: I was like, HBO Max not a great, um uh 345 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: subscription streaming service. We've watched a lot on their We've 346 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: watched a lot, and not only movies that they have 347 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: to look forward to this year, but I mean there's 348 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: a lot of TV shows there too, so I mean 349 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: they're kind of coming up there. So our thoughts on 350 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: Wonder Woman. If you have HBO Max, if you're looking 351 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: for a superhero movie and you just want to turn 352 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: your brain off for a minute and watch something that 353 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with anything going on in the world, 354 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: which I guess some people also put a political spin 355 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: on this movie too, so I guess there's that part 356 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: to it. So just take it for what it is. 357 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: It's wonder Woman being wonder Woman, and if you want 358 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: to watch that, I'd say it's worth it. I stand 359 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: by the review. Any further questions, I don't think so. 360 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm going to get into now the 361 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: top five movies of right after this. Alright, So I 362 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: have put together my list of my top five movies 363 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: of the entire year of and I counted them up, 364 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: and I've watched over fifty movies in the last year, 365 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: which makes sense. Every single week I try to review 366 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: a new movie. Sometimes I watched two in a week, 367 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: and the comment I got a lot about this was 368 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: like movies came out in and I felt I was 369 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: a little offended by that doing a movie podcast. I'm like, 370 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: of course they came out, but I did find it 371 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: was kind of a weird year aside from not a 372 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: whole lot of new things coming out in theaters, but 373 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: just people's viewing habits also changed a lot with movies 374 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: this year, and I was thinking back on that time 375 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: in March and you know, April, everything was pretty much 376 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: shut down to where I kind of reverted back a 377 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: little bit too, just watching things that kind of made 378 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: me happy, and they weren't necessarily new things all the time, 379 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: which I think you kind of felt dead too, right, Yeah, 380 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, aside from all the new stuff we've watched 381 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: this year, we've watched a lot of stuff either that 382 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: we have are seen or things that came out in 383 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: previous years that we hadn't seen. So I don't feel 384 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: like we were just focused on like only new movies. 385 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's what I saw too. On you know, 386 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: I asked everybody on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter what your 387 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: favorite movie of was, and there were a lot of 388 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: new ones, but a lot of people said too that 389 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, I watched things that didn't come out this year, 390 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: just because like I needed something different, and it was 391 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: also at times hard to keep up with what was 392 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: new and what wasn't because you didn't know if it 393 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: was coming out in theaters, you didn't know what streaming 394 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: service it was gonna be on. So it was weird 395 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: for me to go through everybody's comments on what their 396 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: favorites were and then just kind of picking apart my favorite. 397 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: So the way I kind of made my list was 398 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: based on movies I was most excited about movies that 399 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to like and ended up really enjoying. 400 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: And then also just what I thought our overall solid 401 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: movies that I would recommend everybody listening to this that 402 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: I think you'll probably like. I'll start with number five, 403 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: which I went with Soul, which reviewed earlier. Um again 404 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: I said, not one of my favorite Pixar movies, maybe 405 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: not even in the top ten, but it was all 406 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: around a solid movie that I think anybody watching any 407 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: kind of animated movie would enjoy. We kind of went 408 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: into everything earlier, but I had to put that one 409 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: at number five, an easy one to put up there. 410 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: At number four, I went with The Devil All the Time, 411 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: which you didn't watch because you don't like scary things 412 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: or suspenseful things, right, And this one I thought was 413 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: going to be like a straight up like horror movie. 414 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: I don't even remember which one was, Oh the one 415 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: with Robert Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland got it And 416 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: it ended up not being that at all. And what 417 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: it kind of showed me was that Tom Holland and 418 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: Robert Pattinson have like a whole different side of them 419 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: that I think a whole lot of people don't see. 420 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: Like they're really great dramatic actors. And I know they 421 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: get pegged for both being Edward from Twilight and Spider Man, 422 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: but I think in this movie they really show like 423 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: how gritty they can be, how real they can be. 424 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 1: And overall the movie was just something I watched and 425 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: didn't want to stop watching. I didn't want it to end. 426 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: And I think it's a great one and it's on 427 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: Netflix you can watch it. And it also has me 428 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: excited for their next projects, which Tom Holland has a 429 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: movie coming out this year on Apple called Cherry, which 430 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: is another dramatic role for him and a possible Oscar contender, 431 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: and then Robert Pattinson has Um The Batman coming out 432 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: supposed to come out this year on my birthday. It's 433 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: delayed until but it also kind of puts me in 434 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: a better place to kind of want to watch their 435 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: movies and solely also becoming like my favorite actors. And 436 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: this year I went back and watched some of their 437 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: other movies, and Yeah, I think that's a great one, 438 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: and you don't have to like scary movies, but it 439 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: is a little bit violent subject matter is a little 440 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: bit disturbing, So if you're kind of into those kind 441 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: of movies, great one for you. You would not like it, 442 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: but I still put that one in number four. At 443 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: number three, I went with one I watched pretty recently, 444 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: and it's a movie called Black Bear with Aubrey Plaza, 445 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: and I basically had no idea what this movie is 446 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: going to be about. All I knew is that it 447 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: had Aubrey Plaza in it, who we probably know mainly 448 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: as the comedic actress she was in Parks and Wreck, 449 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: Mike and Dave Need wedding dates, stuff like that. The 450 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Happiest Season. Happiest Season also came out this year. She's 451 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: just more that kind of person, and this one I 452 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: felt like it was just their strongest. I guess I'm 453 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: just liking people just like dramatic sides to them because 454 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: her just overall acting skills in this movie was like 455 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: top notch, which is a weird thing to say. I 456 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: don't think I say top notch ever, except describing certain people. 457 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a movie about kind of like 458 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: the creative process of what goes into making a movie. 459 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: It's very meta at times because it kind of goes 460 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: into this second layer and kind of peels back somethings 461 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: of like how a director would get such a crazy 462 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: performance out of an actor, And it has a bit 463 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: of a twist to it, and it just when you 464 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: watch it, it feels like you're watching something that hasn't 465 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: been done before. And I really liked it so And 466 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: it was also the cheapest movie to rent this year, 467 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: which came out and it was like six dollars, So 468 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: that's been another kind of factor this year of like, 469 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were affected by that 470 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: twenty dollar rental, which is like kind of a new 471 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: format of like, oh, you want to watch a new 472 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: movie at home, it's gonna be twenty bucks. I think 473 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: that's a big reason why a lot of people didn't 474 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: watch things new things if it wasn't on Netflix or 475 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: something that you already had a subscription to. That kind 476 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: of plays a factor. So also curious to see how 477 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: they kind of move along with that. I don't know, 478 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: I feel like they need to pull back a little 479 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: bit on charging so much. But that's at number three. 480 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: At number two, it's the movie we both watched and 481 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: both really enjoyed, And I'm putting the Trial of the 482 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: Chicago Seven, which you think, how could they make a 483 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: courthouse drama so engaging and so kind of captivating to watch, 484 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: which I think was my thought going into it, like, 485 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how this is going to be that interesting, 486 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: But man, it was pretty powerful, right, it was really good, 487 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: like a courthouse drama. I don't know that the idea 488 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: of that to me kind of sounds boring. See, I 489 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: love like law shows are really so you were into 490 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: it from the very beginning. Yeah, for me, I just 491 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: had to kind of I don't know, maybe after like 492 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: the first ten minutes or so, when they're kind of 493 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: building up to what's happening. It took me that long 494 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: to get into it. But once we were like got 495 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: into the story about it, and it starts like in 496 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: the courtroom and kind of works its way backwards describing 497 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: everything that happened. And I just thought it was great. 498 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: I thought the actors were really great. I mean, it's 499 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: a freaking stacked cast, and you got Sasha Barry Cohen 500 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: not being bored at a great one. So and I 501 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: also think, like you don't have, like I like movies 502 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: that you can go back and look how accurate they were, 503 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: and also like how much they look like their characters, 504 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: and just kind of learned a little bit about history. 505 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: So what do you think about it? Overall? I thought 506 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: it was really good. I'm also sitting here trying to 507 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: remember all of it because we've watched a lot of 508 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: movies over the past two weeks of Christmas Break, and 509 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember all of the details of that one. 510 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: I remember liking it. Yeah, I don't feel like I 511 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: can really say anything else, but it's a good one, 512 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: and it's on Netflix if you want to watch that one. 513 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: I put it at number two. At number one, you 514 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: can guess my number one. But before we get to 515 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: buy the number one, before you even try to guess 516 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: this one, what would be your number one movie. I 517 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: was thinking about it. At first, I thought maybe I 518 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: didn't have one, But the more I thought about it, 519 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with the happiest season. Really 520 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: why when I love Christmas movies to Christmas? Even though 521 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: it didn't look like anything like it normally does this year, 522 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: it was just something about it that just felt like 523 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: calming to me, and I enjoyed the cast. I wanted 524 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: more Dan Levy, but aside from that, I thought it 525 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: was a great cast. I thought the story was a 526 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: little like sadder than it needed to be at times, 527 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: but it was overall like that family drama that I'm 528 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: realizing is my favorite kind of Christmas. You love a 529 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: good family, love a good family drama and Christmas. So 530 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: I would say that's my favorite one of the year, 531 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: A good one for me. My number one is a 532 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: movie we watched together, A movie I probably enjoyed more 533 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: than you did. I feel like I could guess it 534 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: Big Time Adolescence, No but close. It's also on Hulu 535 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: Hulu Original. Hulu Original came out probably in the summer. 536 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: It has one of my favorite concepts, time travel. Yeah, Oh, 537 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: Palm Springs. Palm Springs. That was my favorite movie with 538 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: Andy Sandberg, Sorry for everyone had just listen to the 539 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: process there. And it's the story about a guy who 540 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: is reliving the same day over and over. He's stuck 541 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: in this kind of loop and then another girl gets 542 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: stuck in the same loop and they have to devise 543 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: a way to get out of the loop. And it's funny. 544 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: It also has a sci fi element to it. It 545 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: has a developing love story, and it it had like 546 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: everything that I love in a movie. Inside of a movie. 547 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: It makes you think, um, even after it happens, you 548 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: have more questions about it, which I think if you 549 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: watch it, and if you like don't like movies that 550 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: make you think afterwards you we'll have a problem with 551 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: the ending. Maybe I didn't think much about it afterwards, 552 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: didn't I liked it, but I didn't. I think you 553 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: had a lot more questions I do. I had a 554 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: lot of question But I enjoy movies that don't wrap 555 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: everything up at the end. Why do you shake your 556 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: Because when I watch a movie, I want to know, Like, 557 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily have to be a nice, pretty bow. 558 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: I just want closure. See. I like not knowing because 559 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: you can kind of think about it a little bit 560 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: more after, like what you think, what happened, why you 561 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: think certain things turn out the way they did, or 562 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: why they decided to end it that way. I like 563 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: that part of a movie, Like I feel like when 564 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: they answer every single question, especially when it comes to 565 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 1: things about any kind of like sci fi genre. UM. 566 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of like Lost, what everybody 567 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: had a problem after that show ended because there were 568 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: so many unsolved questions about what happened on the what 569 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: certain things meant, all that kind of stuff. I feel 570 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: like that this movie had those same kind of elements 571 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: of like you wonder about I guess some of the 572 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: plot holes people would say, so I enjoy that. I 573 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: like looking back and you know, taking things for what 574 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: they are and then kind of drawing my own conclusions. 575 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with plot holes, and I 576 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: think that's the thing that some people like hone in 577 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: on the facts on movies, and sometimes you just have 578 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: to take the movie for what it is, like everything 579 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: that's presented to you, you accept it, and then you 580 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of build on that. UM. I also have what 581 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: listeners of this podcast ranked as their top movies, and 582 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: working backward at this number one was Soul, which I 583 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: feel one that came out the most recent, so it's 584 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: fresh and everybody's mind. I was gonna say it's fresh. 585 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: Everyone remembers it, you remember it, you loved it. I 586 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: can see why that one would make a lot of 587 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: people's lists on that. Um Onward was another one that 588 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: came into number two, which was an earlier Pixar movie 589 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: and the last movie I ever saw in theaters last year. Again, 590 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the strongest Pixar movie. I actually 591 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: think it's a pretty weak Pixar movie. But I could 592 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: see why people enjoyed that one. At number three with 593 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: listeners was a wonder Woman And after all, like the 594 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: mean comments that came in, that still came in at 595 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: number three, which is also an example of what social 596 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: media is like you really honed it on, like the 597 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: negative mean comments or just the overall negative ones, and 598 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: then people whould just like it. You know that's that. 599 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that doesn't factor in as much, So 600 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: still coming in at number three was wonder Woman. At 601 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: number four was The Invisible Man, which came out earlier 602 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: this year. Again I thought that was a really great 603 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: underrated not a full on horror movie but just a 604 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: lot of suspense, and another movie that I luckily got 605 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: to see in theaters. Felt yeah, that was a strong 606 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: pick that could have made my top five if it 607 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: not have been for Soul. And then at number five 608 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: was Hamilton's. I think people also struggled on classifying that 609 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 1: one as a movie, but I felt if meets all 610 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: the criteria on Disney Plus, it doesn't feel like it 611 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: should play out as the movie because it is a 612 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: play and it isn't a live recording and it won't 613 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: be eligible for any OSCAR. But I mean that was 614 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: right up there with me too, like I loved Hamilton's. 615 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: And then coming in at our worst movies, I feel 616 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: like we just gotta pick one each. If you had 617 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: to pick one worst movie of what would you go 618 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: with King of Staten Island? Okay, glad you said that one. 619 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: And I think when it comes to worst movies, it 620 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: has to have like a balance of expectation versus what 621 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: the movie was. And I think when we watched this movie, 622 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: we were expecting it to be funny, right well, we'd 623 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: also the one I mentioned are There Big Time Ado 624 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: Lessons had Pete Davidson and that was funny that I 625 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: was expecting. I was just expecting something. It just fell flat. Yeah, 626 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: I felt like we watched it's almost what like two 627 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: and a half hours, Yeah, like really close to two 628 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: and a half hours, and there was nothing. Yeah, the 629 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: whole last thirty minutes nothing happened, which I think is 630 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: a thing that Jeddapatol gets criticized for making the movies 631 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: like way too long, and this one was probably an 632 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: hour and a half too long. And yeah, it wasn't 633 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: very funny. And I had a pretty high expectations for 634 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: this because it was one of the first ones to 635 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: kind of roll out on the whole on demand thing. 636 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I felt like that one was pretty close 637 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: to being my worst one of last year. But the 638 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: one that I was just had the highest expectations for 639 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: because he was one of the greatest actors of our lifetime, 640 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: who was Tom Hanks. And it was a movie called Greyhound, 641 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: and there were so many things I didn't like about 642 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: that movie, but also I felt like nothing happened, Like 643 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: there was like three battles in the entire movie. I 644 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: would agree with that part. Yeah, and it was just 645 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 1: like Tom Hanks on a ship being Tommings like that. 646 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: That's what that movie was. It was Him on a Ship, 647 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: Gonna rename this Tom Hanks on them. Hanks on the 648 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: Ship is Greyhound, so yeah, and it was based on 649 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: a true story, but there was nothing there, So that 650 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: was my worst one. UM honorable mention was Mulan, mainly 651 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: because there was such high expectation going into that one 652 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: and thirty dollars. Jeez, how much money do we waste 653 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: on movies last year? There were so high expectations for 654 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: that one, and I really remember nothing about the movie 655 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: other than it didn't in any way come up to 656 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: the animated one. So that was my honorable mention in 657 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: worst movies of last year. So that is our list again. 658 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: Thanks everybody who send in your votes, and UM look 659 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: forward to more new movies. All right, just have one 660 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: quick bit of movie news before we hop out of here, 661 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: and it's about the movie The Midnight Sky, which Netflix 662 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: is saying is on pace to be basically their highest 663 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: watched original movie of all time, surpassing about seventy two 664 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: million household who had watched this movie. And it's what 665 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: George Clooney. It came out on December, right before Christmas, 666 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: and when we watched together the night it came out. 667 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: We were so excited. We were excited about this one. 668 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: I think it's because it has that star power of 669 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: George Clooney. He hadn't done a movie in four years, 670 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: and you think, if it has George Clooney in it, 671 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: George Clooney directing it, it's going to be good. And 672 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: about twenty minutes into this had no heart whatsoever. Like 673 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: I felt I had a lot of potential because it's about, 674 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: you know, like a post something catastrophic happening on Earth. 675 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: You have George Clooney meets this kid who he starts 676 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: taking care of. But it felt like two movies. It 677 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: was like two parallel movies, but it took them a 678 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: wild across paths. It's just very kind of spaced out 679 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: and like nothing was really connecting throughout the movie. And 680 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: I also felt like it reminded me of that Show 681 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: Away we had watched earlier this year, and I love 682 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: space movies. I love the idea of any kind of 683 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: dystopian future or something like that. But maybe it was 684 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: so related to that and those kind of like visuals 685 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: that I felt like nothing of note happened in this movie, 686 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: Like I feel like there's kind of a formula when 687 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: it comes to space movies now to where it's like, 688 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: all right, there's people in space, something bad happens on 689 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: the ship, a crew has to go outside of the 690 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: ship to fix something. Something bad happens, and then they 691 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: do or do not make it back to wherever they're 692 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: trying to go. And I feel like this had to 693 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: add exact same formula, but you add in like this 694 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: other kind of story with George Clooney, which I felt 695 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: like they would have just focused on his story him 696 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: with that kid would have been a better movie. Yeah, 697 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: I feel I will say it was one that I 698 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: didn't pick on my phone throughout, but that was because 699 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: I kept waiting for something to happen, so kept my 700 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: attention did but there was never the like, I guess 701 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: there's like one kind of big thing, but it's like 702 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: right at the very end, and it wasn't even It's 703 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: not enough to be like that was so great somebody 704 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: else I recommend you watch it. Yes, but yes, it 705 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: did keep our attention throughout the entire movie. It was 706 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: an interesting movie. But to be their biggest stream movie 707 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: and to them kind of boast that I think that's 708 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: a little bit much. I have questions about their numbers anyways, 709 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: because didn't they say that that Murder Mystery movie was like, yeah, 710 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: highest streamed. Well, the thing about it, they're gonna keep 711 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: breaking their records because they're gaining subscribers month after months, 712 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: so no one's leaving the house. Yeah, So their numbers 713 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: are interesting because I feel like they're gonna keep breaking 714 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: them all the time because there'll be more people, more 715 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: eyes on it, and they're putting things at the very 716 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: top when you open up Netflix, so more people are 717 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: clicking on it. I don't know how they're justifying, like 718 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: how long you have to watch it to count towards 719 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: these numbers, Like you just have to click on it? 720 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 1: Does it just watching the trailer add to anything? So 721 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: they're not super transparent how they come up with this, 722 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: And sometimes I don't even think they have don't really reveal, 723 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: Like for a long time they said nothing about how 724 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: many views each of their shows or movies get. Now 725 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: they're kind of starting to put it out from time 726 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: to time, but I mean they could inflate that a lot. 727 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 1: So and also just because it's watched that many times, 728 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's that great because with this one, 729 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: I was reading the comments too when Netflix posted this, 730 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: everybody was like, yeah, a bunch of people made a 731 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: mistake of watching this movie. So I think with them, 732 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: it's interesting just because they are based on and how 733 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: they make their money is with subscribers and with a 734 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: lot of people watching their content, where you know, everybody 735 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: else is trying to get the box office numbers, the 736 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: ticket sales, so they're kind of in a good spot 737 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: to where they can just release these numbers. It looks 738 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: like a good, big number. They say it brings all 739 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: their records and they're good, so they really have the 740 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: upper hand there. But just because something is viewed a lot, 741 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it translates to it being a good movie. 742 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: And it's also weird because I wouldn't necessarily to say 743 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: it was a bad movie either mediocre. There you Go. 744 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: So that's basically everything we've watched in the last two 745 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: weeks in one episode. There you Go. You have a 746 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 1: lot of new movies you can watch if you haven't 747 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: seen anything, because a lot of people are like movies 748 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: came out last year. Well, there's a bunch of stuff 749 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: that came out. If you're looking for new things, and 750 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: I look forward to reviewing a whole lot of new 751 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: movies this year, and hopefully at some point we'll be 752 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: able to sit our butts into an actual movie theater 753 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: and not on our couch which is wearing out a 754 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: day after day. And before we hop out of here, 755 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: I do got to give my shout out of the week, 756 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: which you can do in a capacity of ways. I 757 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: wonder why I've raised it that way.
