1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: Godzilla, Godzilla. It's one more thing. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: I'm strong and geddy, one more thing. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: Would that counts as a mocking Asian accent? I just did. 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: I hope not, because we almost lost our jobs over 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: that one time. I don't know whether that would count. 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 2: I don't care. 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: I went to Godzilla minus one over the weekend. Had 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: you all heard of that, Katie, Joe Michael, anybody? Have 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: you ever even heard of that? 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: I never heard of it. I missed that one. 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not getting the publicity that normally a blockbuster 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: movie like a Godzilla or King Kong would get because 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: it's not that kind of a movie at all. I 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: just heard that there actually is. Our friend Tim Sanderfer, 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: who is a man of letters, had twenty six of them, 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: had impressive, had tweeted out that this is the this 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: is finally a great monster movie Godzilla. Mines one thought, 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: oh okay, cool, and I was still just picturing like 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: a regular, like we've seen all the god Zilla movies, 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the modern ones, all the King Kong movies. We've seen 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Godzilla versus King Kong. We've seen Megaladon one and two, 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: which are the stupidest movies ever made. They're they're they're 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: they're basically Shark Nato with a giant shark. More expensive cast, yeah, 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: more expensive actors. But that's I was kind of picturing that, 25 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: but like maybe better, but no, it's not at all. 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: God Zilla minus one is a Japanese movie subtitles black 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: and white, and it's a hardcore art film. It's like 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: the sort of thing they would make you watch in 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: a college class and then you'd have to write a 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: paper about it. It's way closer to that than a 31 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: than a blockbuster movie, and so you don't hear as 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: much about it. And it was huge in Japan. It's 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: doing pretty well in the United States. It has had 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: some Oscar nominations. Uh. I don't know how to explain 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: it minus one. I guess it's a translation thing. It 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: means Japan was so far beaten down at the end 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: of World War Two that they were like blow world something. 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: That's what the minus one means. 39 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: And this movie is featured at the very end of 40 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: World War two and the and the aftermath, when we 41 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: had just reduced it to rubble, even before we dropped 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: to the atomic bombs, it was rubble. And it's featured 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: in Tokyo mostly and they're just people living like cavemen, 44 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: the people that are still alive, scrounging for food, trying 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: to push some boards and rocks together to have something 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: to keep you out of the rain. You know, you're 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: by yourself because your whole family's dead, and you team 48 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: up with some old lady who the rest of her 49 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: family is dead and you try to make a go 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: of it. Is this a comedy. It's a comedy sort 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: of in line with like sort of The Three Stooges 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: meets Jim Carrey. Yeah, yeah, No, it is not a 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: comedy obviously, and starring Will Ferrell, that's exactly a lot 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: of Will Ferrell makes a comic cameo. Jack Black plays 55 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: a prominent role. 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: Nice. 57 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Now, it's a very heavy movie, and long parts of 58 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: it are silent. There's not a sound, no music, nobody talking, 59 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: no nothing, and it's so quiet in the theater. It's 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: just like weird. I don't think I've ever been to 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: a movie that got silent for that long before. 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 4: Wow. Wow's that's interesting. 63 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to try to describe it because 64 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't, but just making the point that by the 65 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: climactic scene where like with all Godzilla King Kong movies. 66 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: You know it's time to finally, like really confront the 67 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: monster with your best plan to bring him down and 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: save humanity. You know that has featured in all of 69 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: those Megaladon or Jaws or whatever. When it gets to 70 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: that final scene, you feel way more like you're watching 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers or something. Thing. 72 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Then you do a monster movie. I mean, like the 73 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: director managed to make it like you don't even think 74 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: about it being Godzilla in a giant radioactive creature that 75 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: can stomp on people in crushed buildings somehow, like that 76 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter anymore. It's all about humanity in wartime 77 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: and sticking together and overcoming adversity and just you know, 78 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: it's just it's hard to explain. I thought it was phenomenal, 79 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: and no longer things seems it doesn't even seem weird 80 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: that you're like tugging at my heartstrings in a Godzilla movie. 81 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 82 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, that's such an interesting like union of being 83 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: invested in characters and how that affects your willingness to 84 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: suspend disbelief. 85 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yes, that is exactly it. 86 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: I think that was like the Harry Potter formula, although 87 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 4: that's obviously fantasy and everybody knows it. 88 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: Well, this was as gritty, realistic as any movie I've 89 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: ever seen. And it featured a giant monster that can 90 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: crush buildings under its feet, which doesn't seem like it'd 91 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: be possible in terms of the theater going experience. And 92 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: there's hardly anybody at this this Saturday night, seven o'clock. 93 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: I think there were a total of ten people in there. Wow, 94 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: because nobody's heard of it, and that's an art film. 95 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: And my youngest kid didn't like it much. He didn't 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: like the reading. There's a lot of reading really fast 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: and his reading is not quite up to and a 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: lot of really hard words, so he just couldn't quite 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: keep up with it. But my eighth grader loved it. 100 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: Thought it was really really good. It was a powerful movie. 101 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: But the whole movie going experience in the modern world, 102 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: everybody's got such a great TV with a cool sound system, 103 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: you got that whole thing. Although I've noticed this before, 104 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: I have walked out of many movie theaters in my 105 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: life like rattled in some way, either like you know, 106 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: down emotionally or inspired emotionally, or fired up emotionally or 107 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: something like that. And I don't know if that ever happens 108 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: when I watch on TV. I think it probably does. 109 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: I think being at home you get back to your 110 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: set point a lot more quick. 111 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: I think that's it. 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: Well, and you have control to turn it off and 113 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: change it. But I always feel like leaving. 114 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: I always feel like a walk out of movie theaters 115 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: and everybody's quiet because they're just like so affected by 116 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: what you saw in. 117 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 2: One way or another. 118 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: And I never feel that way at home. Really, I 119 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: don't think anyway. 120 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: Maybe there's a I think there's something about and I 121 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: think that was right the first time when you leave 122 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: a movie. Other than like zipping up your jacket, all 123 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: you're doing is walking to your putting on my. 124 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: Shoes, putting on my shoes, because I take off my 125 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: shoes and socks put. 126 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: Them on the scene in front of me. 127 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: That guy. 128 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: No, I do not, But that's funny. 129 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 4: So even if you're check in your phone or whatever, 130 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 4: you have three to five minutes where you're doing nothing 131 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: but thinking about what you've just maybe that's it. Whereas 132 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: you know, you turn off the TV at home and 133 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 4: then you would go. 134 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: Do something and get the kids to bed or whatever. 135 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah. 136 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: Uh, but the dude did when your kids were younger, 137 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: did you buy them treats to go to the movie occasionally? See, 138 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: I grew up in a family where we never did. 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't even a consideration. It's like, we're not getting 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: that stuff because it's too expensive. That's fine, yep, already eight. 141 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm not thirsty. If I'm thirsty, I'll go get a 142 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: drink of water at the drinking van. 143 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 5: I knew a family that would hide the treats and 144 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 5: mom's purse. 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: But yeah, you know I used to bring you know, 146 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: we'd smuggle in uh popcorn in our pockets. 147 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes. 148 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: I used to bring beer to the movies all the time. 149 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: You gotta wait for a loud part. You gotta wait 150 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: for God'zilla to scream before I open your beer. If 151 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: you open your beer during the silent, is the baby 152 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: gonna die or not seen? 153 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: Your girl has mastered opening a bottle of champagne in 154 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: a movie. 155 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: Nice style points. 156 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: I remember one time when I kicked over my empty 157 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: bottle of beer and it rolled all the way down, 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: clicking it, clicking it click. 159 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And then what you do is you start 160 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: looking around, like, what is that? 161 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: What? You're generous? Who is doing that? Somebody brought in 162 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: some unauthorized food or drink and I'll take away if 163 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: somebody would do that, and I'll see it. I think 164 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: we should pause the movie and go through everybody's pockets 165 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: until we can find out who this miscreanton is.
