00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Bra Brera, Hello and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm your host Movie Mike. Today, I want to talk

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: about actors who threw shade at the roles that made

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: them famous, biding the hand that feeds them. Why did

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: they do this where they justified? Were some of these

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: roles terrible? In the movie review, we'll be talking about

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob BELORDI. Something happened

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: in our theater that I've never seen or heard before

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: from an audience, especially when it comes to a romance movie,

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. In the trailer park, we'll

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: talk about the Disclosure Day trailer that aired at the

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. How excited are we for Steven Spielberg returning

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: to making a movie about aliens? Thank you for being here,

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Thank you for being subscribed. I'm a little hyped up.

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: I just chugged a coffee, So let's get going. Let's

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: talk movies podcast Network Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. As you

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: can tell, the caffeine has entered my veins. It is

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: pumping through my blood straight out my mouth. To talk

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: about movies. I have a list of actors who don't

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: necessarily love the roles and projects that launched their career.

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes an actor will just take a job because they

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: need a job.

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: Maybe they're working in TV.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: Not quite cutting through yet, and you take a movie

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: role just in the hopes of maybe this could be

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: the one that launches my career to a level that

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I've been dreaming about since I was a kid. In

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: some cases, some of these people on this list are

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: actually children when they got cast in these movies. But

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: for some reason or another, these actors look at these

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: roles with embarrassment, frustration, or just have some complicated, mixed feelings.

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Maybe they had some beef with a director and they

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: just did not like how these movies turned out, and

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: they feel like these are a bit of a blemish

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: on their resume. So let's get right into the list,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Starting with Jennifer Aniston in nineteen ninety three. The role

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: that made her famous long before well not too long

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: before Friends, was Lepper. This was Jennifer Aniston's debut film

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: in what is now a cult horror movie. I love

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun franchise. When I first watched this back in

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: the nineties as a kid, I didn't see it as

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: being comical. I was terrified of Leprechaun. Granted I was

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: coming off of being terrified of other little demonic creatures

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: like Chucky. But I found the first one and two

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Leprechaun movies to be pretty terrifying. But now when you

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: watch these, you see how campy it is. You see

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: how comical these movies are and why they weren't the

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: most successful when they came out. And while at the time,

49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston thought this was her big break. She felt

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: like she arrived in Hollywood when she got this movie

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, and then one year later would

52
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: be on the biggest show on the face of the planet, Friends.

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: But now when she looks back on her career, she

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: calls this project embarrassing. She talked about it on Howard Stern.

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: He calls it the bane of her existence. She agreed.

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: She said her ex husband, Justin Thireau, forced her to

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: watch it, and she tried to, really tried to, but

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: was unsuccessful. She had to grab the remote and turn

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: it off and ended up cringing while leaving and then

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: re entering the room. She even later said while promoting

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: the Morning Show that it just straight up not her favorite,

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: but she acknowledged that it is a cult classic, and

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: then for the first time actually admitted that she is

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: proud of it in a weird way. So maybe now

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: she's fully coming around to it, because I think it

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: has entered that level of cult classic now in twenty

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty six where all the people like me who watched

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: this when they were younger and have a lot of

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: good things attached to it, fun memories of watching horror

70
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: movies late at night. This was always a part of

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: my horror binge watch going into Halloween. Whenever October hit.

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: This was part of the franchises that I would dive

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: into every single year. So maybe at that time, back

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: in the nineties, where she was really coming out and

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: starting her career at the time was probably a hard

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: thing to get over because you think about she goes

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: from doing this in ninety three to Friends in ninety four,

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: stays on that show for a very long time, and

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: it's not until the later part of her career with

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Friends where she wanted to branch out again and do movies.

81
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: But then you think about talking to people, talking to producers,

82
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: talking to directors, wanting to go be on TV, which

83
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: is what everybody wanted to do back in the nineties.

84
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: You do TV, but.

85
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: Ultimately you want to be in the movies. You want

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: to make a picture, and if you have Leprechaun on

87
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: your resume as your debut in film, it is probably

88
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: harder to pitch yourself for more serious roles. But granted,

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: when you look at people's early roles, a lot of

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: them come from horror because it's a little budget. You

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: need a good lead. So if you look back on

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: all your favorite actors, they have done some questionable horror

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: movies back early on in their career. And I think

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: in Jennifer Andison's case, to have Leprechaun be your debut,

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: she should not be as embarrassed as she is. But

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad she is finally coming around to this movie.

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: There is a scene in Leprechaun that has forever just

98
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: burned into my head. And again, I don't remember this

99
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: movie being so comical when I watched it as a kid.

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: But there is a scene where Jennifer Aniston and some

101
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: of the other people in the cast are trying to

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: escape go get help. They have a jeeb and they

103
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: want to leave this farmhouse to go find somebody else

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: to help them defeat this Leprechaun. So they come up

105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: with this plan to distract the Leprechaun, and they find

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: this loophole where if you throw shoes at him, a leprechaun,

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: by instinct, just has to shine those shoes because he

108
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: can't see dirty shoes. He's gonna pick them up and

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: start shining them, and that would give them enough time

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: to distract him and allow Jennifer Aniston to leave and

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: go find help. Here is that scene that I just

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: think about all the time. For some odd reason, He's like,

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: how dare you you found my one weakness. I just

114
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: can't help but shine any shoe that is thrown at me.

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: So if ever I have to clean my shoes a

116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: little bit, I always default to that voice. Shine shine me,

117
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: shiny as I shine my shoes. But Jennifer Aniston embarrassed

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: of her first role in Leprechaun from nineteen ninety three.

119
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Next up on the list Alec Baldwin. His first major

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: breakout role was in Beetlejuice. This cemented him in Hollywood

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: playing the character Adam, which he was more of a

122
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: TV actor before this movie, but right after the success

123
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: of Beetlejuice boom main stream stardom. He went on to

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: be in other movies like The Hunt for Red October

125
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety. But Alec Baldwin, back when he made

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Beetlejuice with Tim Burton, he said he was convinced that

127
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: this movie would end everyone's career involved. He said, when

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: we did Beetlejuice, I had no idea what it was about.

129
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: I thought my and all of our careers were going

130
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: to end with the release of this film.

131
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: How wrong he was.

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: But I could see where Alec Baldwin was coming from

133
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: because Tim Burton was still a new director. Peewee's Big

134
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: Adventure came out in nineteen eighty five, but that was

135
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: so unlike what he was doing with Beetlejuice, where I

136
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: felt Beatlejuice was the first real Tim Burton film that

137
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: had that look, that had that humor, had that stop

138
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: motion where he really put his artistic vision into Beetlejuice.

139
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: That would become the style that we know Tim Burton

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: for to this day. But if you are working on

141
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: a movie like this where this guy is still relatively untested,

142
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: you don't know how audiences are going to receive this.

143
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: I could see how you think, man, this is gonna

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: be awful. Alec Baldwin also said that he felt completely sidelined.

145
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: He said quote, I remember walking through that movie and

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: thinking I got nothing. I was a set piece, a

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: prison sentence. And he even tried to model his character

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: after another nineteen fifties actor to make it more interesting,

149
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: but Tim Burton shut it down, and that was the

150
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: only direction tim Burton ever gave him, Just don't do that.

151
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: And despite not understanding it at the time and not

152
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: being super proud of his work in that moment, Alec

153
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Baldwin did later on praise tim Burton, calling him a

154
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: mad genius and praising Michael Keaton's comedic brilliance. This could

155
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: have been an instance where any other actor might have

156
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: walked away from this project thinking this is not going

157
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: to work. But props to Alec Baldwin for sticking it

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: out and sticking with your director. At number two, we

159
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: have Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice, Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Knights.

160
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: This was the role that launched his career into acting.

161
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: He'd already been doing music, but it was this movie,

162
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who also did one Battle

163
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: after another.

164
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: Just this last year.

165
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: That helped establish Mark Wahlberg as a legitimate leading man,

166
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: paving the way for future roles like The Departed, like

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: the Transformers movies he was in, even though those were terrible,

168
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: or movies like Ted. Just name any more Walberg movie.

169
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: It all goes back to him having success with Boogie Knights,

170
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: and in this case, he didn't shade it so much

171
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: so because he didn't like the film or he thought

172
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: it was bad in any way. He expressed a lot

173
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: of regrets about doing Boogie Knights because of the subject matter,

174
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: especially later in life, where even though he did have

175
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: some troubles early on in his career as a teenager,

176
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: in his young adult wife, he has really changed, becoming

177
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: more of a family man, becoming more dedicated to his faith,

178
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: and he said later in life he just felt like, oh, man,

179
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: why didn't I do that movie? He later said at

180
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: a church he was speaking at, I just always hope

181
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: that God is a movie fan and also forgiving because

182
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I've made some poor choices in my past. Boogie Knights

183
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: is up there at the top of my list. It

184
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: is a very rated movie about the adult industry. But

185
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I think at that time was the perfect role for

186
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: him to transition into being a legitimate actor after having

187
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: a background of being a model being a rapper. This

188
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: was kind of best case scenario for him. He had

189
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: a hit right out of the gate, made him famous.

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Next up, John Cusack was not a fan of his

191
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: movie Better Off Dead Now. Early on in his career,

192
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: he had a couple of different movies that put him

193
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: on the map. You could say say anything, but Better

194
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: Off Dead is highly regarded as one of his most

195
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: defying early performances. Director Savage Steve Holland claimed that John

196
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: Cusack once stormed out of a screening and told him

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: this is the worst thing I have ever seen in

198
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: my life, and adding that he felt used and made

199
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: fun of. Years later, John Cusack softened his stands for

200
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: being so brash in that response. In a Reddit ama,

201
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: he said, I didn't hate it. I just thought it

202
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: could have been better. He said that he feels that

203
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: way but most of his movies, and explain that much

204
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: of that perceived anger came from being endlessly asked about

205
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: the movie during press tours for unrelated projects. I was

206
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: seventeen years old, he said, I was just onto the

207
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: next thing. I think this is probably the case for

208
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people on this list. You have that

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: breakout role, the one that people just come back to

210
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: time after time again. Because us as movie fans, we

211
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: get attached to the first thing we saw you in.

212
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: It's what we love the most because we associated with

213
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: a very fun part of our time where everything was

214
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: bright and shiny. There are a lot of actors I

215
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: think about, Oh, man, I watched this movie when I

216
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: was a kid. If I ever got to interview them,

217
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: I would have to ask them a question about that movie.

218
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: In John q s X's case, he did this movie

219
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: when he was seventeen, I think could just start to

220
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: get annoyed. But I also understand as an actor there

221
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: are worse things people could ask you about in an interview.

222
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: If somebody wants to celebrate you for your work, you

223
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: kind of have to do it. It's kind of like

224
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: an artist who has a hit early on in their career,

225
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: and then later on in life they get sick of it,

226
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: they don't want to play it anymore. I'm sorry, but

227
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: if you have a hit, you gotta play the hits.

228
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: That's what puts you on the map. That's what people

229
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: want to hear. So in that same sense, if you

230
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: put out a movie that a lot of people love,

231
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: even though it's early on, you gotta play the hits.

232
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: You gotta talk about those early roles. While I do

233
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: understand how it can be annoying, we just want to

234
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: know about it. We're gonna keep asking you questions about

235
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Better Off Dead, about say anything. So John Cusack on

236
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: the list with Better Off Dead and why he publicly

237
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: shaded it. Next up on the list Natalie Portman. She

238
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: was in a movie at twelve years old called Leon

239
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: the Professional. This launched her career into acting. Natalie Portman

240
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: was chosen from over two thousand candidates to play the

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: role in this movie about a young girl mentored by

242
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: a hit man, and this movie established her as a

243
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: rising talent and so influential on her early success. She

244
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: went on to do movies like Star Wars, which just

245
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: went She also got an oscar for Black Swan in

246
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: twenty ten. But it was this movie that launched her career.

247
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: But why she hated it? But she publicly shaded this

248
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: movie for a very legitimate reason. Again, she was only

249
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: twelve years old when she made this movie. And she

250
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: describes her feelings with it to be deeply conflicted. She

251
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: said it gave me my career, but when you watch

252
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: it now, it definitely has some cringey aspects, to say

253
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: the least. She later said that the allegations against the

254
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: director were devastating and emphasized I was a kid working.

255
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: I really didn't know. I saw some interviews where she

256
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: said that the director's behavior on set was very creepy,

257
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: in particular when it came to her costuming. Some described

258
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: it similar to the way Quentin Tarantino focuses on feet.

259
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: That's how this director was focused on some of the

260
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: costuming with her character. Some of the things he wanted

261
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: to portray, they were deeply concerning and disturbing because she

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: was twelve years old. So if you go back and

263
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: watch this movie, some of it is a little bit questionable.

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: She said.

265
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: It's still a movie that's beloved and people come up

266
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: to me about it more than almost anything I've ever made.

267
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: But yes, it is very complicated for me. And then

268
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: you throw in what the director was accused of in

269
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, which was not good. The case against him

270
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: was dismissed in twenty twenty one after an investigation. So

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: in this case I could see that as being a

272
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: movie she doesn't really want to talk about anymore. Next

273
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: up on the list Sean Connery, who became internationally famous

274
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: with his role of James Bond in the movie Doctor No.

275
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Back in nineteen sixty two. He went on to play

276
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: James Bond in movies from nineteen sixty two to nineteen

277
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: sixty seven and return for two more, defining the character's style, wit,

278
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: and global popularity so much so that it is still

279
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: a thing to play James Bond, and we're still waiting

280
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: on who is going to play him next. Before playing Bond,

281
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: he had only appeared in small theater and TV productions,

282
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: but this was the role that turned him into a

283
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: sex symbol and a global superstar in what appeared to

284
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: be overnight, We're talking Doctor No from Russia, with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball,

285
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: You'll Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, and Never Say

286
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Never Again in nineteen eighty three. But he famously hated

287
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: playing the character. He once said that the films don't

288
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: tax one as an actor, adding that all you really

289
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: need is the constitution of a rugby player. So because

290
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: of his theater and TV background. He thought, man, this

291
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: character takes no effort to play. It doesn't fulfill me.

292
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Therefore it is bad, and if you like it, you

293
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: are bad. He described James Bond as a cross, a privilege,

294
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: a joke, a challenge, and as bloody, intrusive as a nightmare.

295
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: At one point, bluntly stated, I hate James Bond. I'd

296
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: like to kill him. I hear in his description of

297
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: this character he felt like playing James Bond was beneath him.

298
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes I hear stories of people who maybe write

299
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: a joke that they think, ah, this isn't gonna be

300
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: any good, but I'll try it, and it's your lowest

301
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: common denominator, throwaway joke that some people find to be

302
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: the funniest. It works the best in your set. Some

303
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: musicians they write a song and think this is a

304
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: stupid song, but let's put it out anyway, and that

305
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: ends up being their biggest hit. Sometimes it's the things

306
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: that you don't have to think that much about that

307
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: people end up loving. That's the only way I can

308
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: see his disdain for this character is he thinks it's

309
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: so easy. I can just walk in and just not

310
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: even think about these lines, don't even have to read them,

311
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: and I can play this character and people just eat

312
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: it up. Which I don't even see James Bond to

313
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: be that dumb down of a character. But I guess

314
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: if you are so sophisticated as a mister Sean Connery,

315
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: you want to doing things that maybe show more of

316
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: your range or are a little bit more challenging, and

317
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: not just you in a suit with the gun doing

318
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: the same.

319
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: Thing movie after movie.

320
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: But that is harsh to say straight up that you

321
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: hate this character who has brought you so much fame,

322
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: brought you so much funny that even though you don't

323
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: love it, is adored by millions and millions of people.

324
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: That's kind of a durbal move. So I just don't

325
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: see the disdain here for this character. Or I'm not

326
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: even the biggest James Bond fan. I could be on

327
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: the side of Sean Connery saying, yeah, it's a terrible role,

328
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: But I know how many people love these movies. They

329
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: are just not for me. So for him to be

330
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: so outwardly angry bashing these movies, that just seems like

331
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: a wild thing to do. Biting the hand that feeds man.

332
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: But we have Sean Connery as James Bond. Next up

333
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: on the list, Jacob Belordie had a breakout role in

334
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: The Kissing Booth on Netflix. That is the only thing

335
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: I think about now when I watch The Kissing Booth

336
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: or think about The Kissing Booth. Not that I watched

337
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: The Kissing Booth anymore than the first times I watched

338
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: it on Netflix. I think it wasn't until the last

339
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: one final movie of the series came out that Kelsey

340
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: and I watched all the movies. So this was very

341
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: much just me just being thrown into The Kissing Booth

342
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: and the movies are what they are. I wasn't expecting

343
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: the most in depth thing when watching a movie called

344
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: The Kissing Booth. But in a way that a Disney

345
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: show or a Nickelodeon show could put you on the

346
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: map as a young actor. The same thing with movies

347
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: like The Kissing Booth on Netflix that find that young audience.

348
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: It launched these people into stardom. Jacob Elordi being one

349
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: of those people who is now starting to become a

350
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: household name. From The Kissing Booth, he went on to

351
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: do Euphoria, which two completely different projects where he gets

352
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: to be more of an actor there, still kind of

353
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: in the teen world. Still not the most like, Okay,

354
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the most defined actor here, but a

355
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: big stepping stone from The Kissing Booth and now is

356
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: doing movies like Frankenstein Withering Heights, starring alongside Margot Robbie.

357
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he is now in that upper tier

358
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: of actor on just pure acting abilities, and the fact

359
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: that he is so tall and good looking only helps

360
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: push his star that much higher. But he hates these movies.

361
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: He has been so shockingly upfront about not liking The

362
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Kissing Booth. He said, I didn't want to make those movies.

363
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Before I made those movies, he has called them ridiculous

364
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: and not universal. He also warned against doing too many

365
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: projects like that and said it can become fifteen of them,

366
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: none for you. You have no original ideas and.

367
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: You're dead inside.

368
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: So I think, more so than just hating the content

369
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: of these movies, maybe hating his character in The Kissing Booth,

370
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: I think he hated the idea of being attached to

371
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: a franchise like that where you get so sucked into it.

372
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: You are doing these movies only because it's steady work.

373
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Early on in your career. But then you want to

374
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: go to other things you could have probably done. If

375
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: you're Jacob Blordi, five of these movies easy could have

376
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: kept cranking them out, even though by the second one

377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: the plot was holding on for dear life. So I

378
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: just think it's so interesting for him to bash this

379
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: movie so hard. This is a case where I really

380
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: don't know what he gets about showing his hate for

381
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: these movies. But if you are a fan of The

382
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Kissing Booth, just know Jacob Elordi thinks less of you

383
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: if you're watching enjoy those movies. Next up Richard Gear

384
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: and Pretty Woman. He was already a well established star

385
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, but it was Pretty Woman in

386
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety that re cemented his A list status, making

387
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: him not just famous in America but famous worldwide as

388
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: the romantic lead in this film. He'd been in movies

389
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: like American Jigglow in nineteen eighty, An Officer and a

390
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Gentleman in nineteen eighty two, but it was Pretty Woman

391
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: that just made him even more popular. But he hated it,

392
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: and he shaded it publicly. He said, Pretty Woman is

393
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: his least favorite thing. Your least favorite thing, Richard Gear.

394
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: The movie I would consider, well, maybe this in Runaway Bride,

395
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: which also has Julia Roberts. Those two are my favorite

396
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Richard Gear movies and the only ones to me that

397
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: come to mind when I think about them. He dismissed

398
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Pretty Woman as being a silly romantic comedy. This is

399
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: where I get angry. This is where I'm standing up

400
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: now in the studio. I hate it when actors talk

401
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: so bad about their projects and call things silly. It's

402
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: just a silly rom com It's just a dumb comedy,

403
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: a stupid horror movie. You should not be acting if

404
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: you talk about your projects this way. You just shouldn't.

405
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: Because people find enjoyment in all different types of things.

406
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: And for you to say or call somebody out for

407
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: enjoying something silly, not even that it's silly, that you

408
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: think it's silly, Come on, Richard Gear. That is so annoying.

409
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: He also criticized the movie's portrayal of wealthy corporate raiders

410
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: and it said it made those guys seem dashing, which

411
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: was wrong.

412
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: So needless to.

413
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Say, at seventy six years old, doesn't sound like Richard

414
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: Gear would be down for another Pretty Woman, Pretty Woman Too.

415
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: This sounds like one of those fake Facebook movies where

416
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: if you get on Facebook you just get slammed with

417
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: these AI images and chat GBT descriptions of new movies

418
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: coming to theaters that are just announced, and for some reason,

419
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: all you have is a crappy poster on Facebook to

420
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: announce it. But I could see this on Facebook, Pretty

421
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: Woman to a Second Chance, and you see an AI

422
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: image of Richard Gear and Julia Roberts together again, and

423
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: you see all the comments like I can't wait for this,

424
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: or people being like this is so bad, I can't

425
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: believe this is coming out. But then you have the

426
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: one voice of reason down there saying, doesn't everybody know

427
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: this is AI? That's what Pretty Woman two sounds to me.

428
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: So will never be made. I think Julia Roberts could

429
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: come back, and we forget Richard Gear if he thinks

430
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: so less of these movies. One of the best rom

431
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: columns of the nineties and of all time. Get out

432
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: of here. You don't deserve to act. Richard Gear. Next

433
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: up on the list, Anya Taylor Joy. Her breakout role

434
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: was in The Witch. She saw a lot of success

435
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: in her career after this twenty fifteen horror movie, which

436
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: is a fantastic horror movie.

437
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: It is a slow.

438
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: Burn, A lot of the scary elements are subtle, but

439
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: it is one if you put it on I would

440
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: say late at night, although late at night to me

441
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: now as a thirty four year old almost thirty five

442
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: year old.

443
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: Is like eight thirty.

444
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: You turn off all the lights and really allow yourself

445
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: sink into this story because it's one of those horror

446
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: movies where there's not a lot of crazy action, not

447
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things that are just gonna pop

448
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: out of nowhere and scare you. It is a very

449
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: subtle type of horror, so you have to be in

450
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: the right space for it, have to be quiet, not

451
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: on your phone. But it is one of my favorite

452
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: horror movies of the twenty tens and was her breakout

453
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: film role. And Anya Taylor Joy actually chose to do

454
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: this movie instead of another Disney Channel pilot that she

455
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: could have done in its place. Made a great choice there.

456
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: And when she shaded this movie in public, it wasn't

457
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: the film itself, it was her performance in it. So

458
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: she was a lot younger in this role, and she

459
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: said she felt devastated, believing that she let everyone down

460
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: and questioning whether or not she was right for the

461
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: role at all. So that's the best way you share

462
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: a movie that you were in early on in your

463
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: career that gave you your start, that you think, man,

464
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: I just didn't try hard enough. They made a mistake

465
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: in hiring me. So maybe that gets you out of

466
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: talking about it to some people because like Ah, she

467
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: doesn't really want to talk about her performance than that

468
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: because she doesn't think she was that good, instead of

469
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: being like, I hated doing them movie. It was terrible,

470
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: but a really great breakout role for her. If that

471
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: was my first movie as an actor, I would be set.

472
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: And she's gone on to do shows like The Queen's Gambit.

473
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: The Menu was a really great movie a few years ago,

474
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: still kind of in that horror space, although it's more

475
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: of a thriller and suspense. Anya Taylor Joy as an

476
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: actor just elevates any project that she is in. The

477
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: Witch is one of those. I'm glad she didn't rip

478
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: it too hard. But next though, we got a couple

479
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: of people who did rip their movies pretty hard. Shia

480
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: Labuff and Megan Fox both reached international fame with Transformers,

481
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: and both of them really hate looking back on both

482
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: of these movies. Although I think it's time to reboot

483
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: Transformers with Shila Buff and Megan Fox, I think they're

484
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: both in a good place now. I think it's been

485
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: far enough from them being so public about their relationship

486
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: with Michael Bay, which was more so Megan Fox beefing

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: with him because she was not in the later movies,

488
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: which greatly suffered without having Megan Fox. Because if you

489
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: think about these movies and the real reason that Shila

490
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: Buff didn't like them, even though they famous made him

491
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money, is it was those two together

492
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: that sold the story. It was their relationship and their

493
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: dynamic that made those movies work. And that's what Shila

494
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: Buff said. He said because he loved the human element

495
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: and that's what he wanted, because otherwise it just would

496
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: have been a bunch of robots fighting each other. But

497
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: he did call the movies later irrelevant and dated af

498
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: He criticized their lack of heart, saying, unless you have relationships,

499
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: the movie doesn't matter. They're just robots fighting each other.

500
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: So he was right because if you look at the

501
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: later films minus him and minus Megan Fox, that is

502
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: why they lacked that same impact is because you didn't

503
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: have those great relationships. Although I would say Bumblebee with

504
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: Hailey Steinfeld went back to that that is a great

505
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 1: installment in the franchise, but overall, by the time we

506
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: got to when Mark Wahlberg was introduced into this franchise,

507
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: it was pretty much dead. They are kind of coming

508
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: back with the Rise of the Beasts and Transformers won

509
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: the animated movie, but it is really hard to replicate

510
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: the Transformers movies of the late two thousands. Shila buff

511
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: also said that the second movie was made without a

512
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: finished script, adding that they were essentially making it up

513
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: as they went just to meet a deadline. So that

514
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: just kind of proves to you the movies got so

515
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: big and successful that there was such a demand to

516
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: just get these movies out in time to make that money.

517
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: While the iron was hount that they really just stopped

518
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: caring about the story and just throwing on whatever could

519
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: make it work by the time that they needed it.

520
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: Megan Fox did acknowledge and say that she was terrible

521
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: in these movies, but said I can't crap on this

522
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: movie because it did give me my career, but also

523
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: that this movie is not about the acting. She said

524
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: the experience taught her a lot, even though she isn't

525
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: proud of her performance, and she was famously in a

526
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: big battle with Michael Bay a lot of controversy there,

527
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: So I can imagine it would be really hard to

528
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: get these two back together.

529
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: But if we could.

530
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Get Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson back in The Hunger Games,

531
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: why can't we get Shia La Buff and Megan Fox

532
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: back in Transformers?

533
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: All right?

534
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: A couple more to wrap up the list. Robert Pattinson

535
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: just hates Twilight. He really does, even though the movie

536
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: made him a household name. He had been in the

537
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: Harry Potter movies before this as Cedric Diggery in The

538
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: Goblet of Fire. Robert Pattinson called Edward Cohen ridiculous. He

539
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: said he's a one hundred and eight year old version,

540
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: so obviously he's got some issues. He also said that

541
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: reading the books sometimes made him uncomfortable, describing them as

542
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: feeling like someone's sexual fantasy, which the Twilight movies did

543
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: end up being fifty shades of gray because of the

544
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: fan turned into that. So I think overall, He just

545
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: hates the fact that people still associate him with Twilight.

546
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: They see him as Edward Colan has become such a

547
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: renowned actor with movies like Good Time, Tenant The Lighthouse.

548
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: When he was announced to be the next Bruce Wayne

549
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: and The Batman, people just said, I cannot see Edward

550
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Colan as the Batman. Kristin Stewart doesn't hate them as much.

551
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: I think primarily she has shaded the pregnancy storyline and said, really,

552
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: you just had a child. Really. She also admitted that

553
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: she initially did not want to play Bella, saying that

554
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: she didn't want to push a very unrealistic love onto

555
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: young girls, and she failed in that because I remember

556
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: so many girls in high school being all about finding

557
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: their Edward Colin. And finally, Harrison Ford has been pretty

558
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: upfront of not liking his breakout role in Star Wars.

559
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: He just doesn't seem to be a fan of the

560
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: character Han Solo. He did have a small role in

561
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: George Lucas's movie American Graffiti in nineteen seventy three. It

562
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: was an odd coincidence how he even got this job.

563
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: He was working as a carpenter building cabinets for George

564
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: Lucas's office. He was brought in to read lines with

565
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: other actors auditioning for Star Wars, and he ended up

566
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: impressing George Lucas, who thought, man, this guy has a

567
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: lot of natural charisma, a lot of wit, and that

568
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: led George Lucas into casting him as Hans Solo. That's

569
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: how he got the role and has now played him

570
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: for over forty years, most recently in The Force Awakens

571
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: back in twenty fifteen, which seeing him for the very

572
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: first time in a long time as Hans Solo just

573
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of healed something in my soul. But throughout the

574
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: course of the movies he hated the character. He even

575
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: urged them to kill him off in Return of the Jedi,

576
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: believing that Han Solo had reached his full potential and

577
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: his death would be more dramatic and carry more of

578
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: an emotional weight into the storyline. He just thinks Han

579
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Solo is not interesting. So maybe it's not so much

580
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: that he hates Han Solo. Kind of like we've been

581
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: talking about in this episode, he just feels like the

582
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: character lacks some kind of depth. He wanted him to

583
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: have a little bit more character development, especially when he's

584
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: looking at some of his co stars, Princess Lea and

585
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker have a lot more development. But if I

586
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: were ever to meet Harrison Ford, which I do remember now,

587
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: I think one time we were in Vegas, he was

588
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: at the same casino we were at, and other people

589
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: saw him. I think I saw like a group of

590
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: people walking down through the casino, all following Harrison Ford.

591
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: He was there on a promotional tour. I never actually

592
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: saw him because there were so many people around him.

593
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: But if I did have the chance to talk to him,

594
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: I would not bring up Han solo. But that is

595
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: the list. I'll come back, Kelsey will hop in and

596
00:31:51,040 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: we'll give our spoiler free movie review of Wuthering Heights.

597
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review

598
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: of Wuthering Heights. Thank you for coaching me on how

599
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: to say that. I kept saying withering.

600
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was like, there's no eye and it's watheringly,

601
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: almost like a Werther's original, but that has an E.

602
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 3: So it's like a really like Wathering Heights.

603
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Very whimsical movie, is how I look at it.

604
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: Yes.

605
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: Directed by Emerald Fanell who this is their third movie.

606
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Great run of films came out of the gate with

607
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Promising Young Woman, which I think didn't get enough credit.

608
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: We were talking about that. I feel like it was

609
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: one of those that got lost in the pandemic.

610
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: Came out was really good when nobody talked about it. Saltburn, though,

611
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: that got a lot of attention.

612
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: Everyone talked about that movie that came.

613
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: Out at the right time, straight to streaming or.

614
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: Did it come out in theaters.

615
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: I did come out in theaters thea that was one

616
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: of those that had such a big impact. When it

617
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: came out on streaming that that's when people started talking

618
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: about it more. But now with Weathering Heights, I feel

619
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: like there was a big hype around this one. I

620
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: didn't really think about the associate with Valentine's dad and

621
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: how big that was going to be. Yeah, I mean,

622
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: because it's romance. How would you describe this movie?

623
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, it's based on a book by Emily Bronte.

624
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: Did you read the book maybe in high school?

625
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: It's a very old book. Yeah.

626
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: I didn't feel the need to reread this one before

627
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: the movie. I was like, I'm good without without reading

628
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: the book.

629
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

630
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: So it's a love story over the years between Catherine

631
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: Earnshaw and Heathcliff if he has a last name, didn't.

632
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Catch it, Heath Cliff, that's a great name.

633
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's supposed to be this like great romance, but

634
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: I feel like romance back then like had a different interpretation.

635
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: It's a love story.

636
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: They meet when their kids. Her dad brings them in. Yes,

637
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: he's really poor. I mean I guess her family had money.

638
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: Her family had money, but her dad has some problems.

639
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: You see them as kids and then it flash forwards

640
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: to them as adults.

641
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: Yes, was it a.

642
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: Really good love story or was it just the fact

643
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: that these two people are like the most attractive in

644
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: Hollywood right now.

645
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: No, it's just two really hot people. Now, I have

646
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: to say, Okay, one of my biggest problems was so

647
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: she has a companion, Nelly, it's roughly her same age.

648
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: Yes, when they're kids, they're about the same age.

649
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: Okay, they get older, and they made Hong Chow look

650
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: so much older and wrinkled. And I guess that's supposed

651
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: to be the comparison of like when you have money,

652
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: you look younger. But I was like, these two people

653
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 3: are supposed to be the same age, and they did

654
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 3: her dirty they did her, They did her real dirty. Yeah,

655
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: this is not a movie for your children.

656
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: To see, which I don't think any Emerald Fannel movies

657
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: are correct. They're pretty are all of them really are.

658
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: There's there's a word I'm thinking of to describe this movie.

659
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: You can't say it on here because it's family friendly podcast.

660
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 3: But just it's just two people who find each other

661
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: very attractive, and there's a lot of lusting if you

662
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: catch my dress.

663
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I was saying, like, is it a

664
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: really good love story or are they just too incredibly

665
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: attractive people, because I feel a lot of it is

666
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: on how breathtaking Jacob E'LORDI is, how big and masculine

667
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: he is, how much he can just like lift her

668
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: up with like a pinky.

669
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that scene she talked about. She was like, there's

670
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: a scene where he like lifts me up with one hand. Yeah,

671
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: I am not on the Jacob Elordi train.

672
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: You're not, I am, But no, I said that.

673
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: I was like, not on the like full like I

674
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: think he's the hottest man alive. Whatever. Okay, then my

675
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: algorithm fed me a video okay, and somebody asked him

676
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: about his dog and it's him talking about his dog

677
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 3: and then he goes, she's doing so well, thank you

678
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: for asking, And I was like, he just thanked a

679
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: reporter for asking about his dog, Like, damn it. I mean,

680
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: I'll have to say, damnit, damn it. That's cute.

681
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: He has dogs too. He's a good person behind all this.

682
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: He's a dog named Layla.

683
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a really good actor. I

684
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: was talking about earlier in this episode how he doesn't

685
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: care for the Kissing Booth movies anymore and he's like

686
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: separated himself from that, but.

687
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: Again it launched him. I mean, I hate when people

688
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: bite the hand that fed them.

689
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how far he's come since those movieshaps and

690
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: now this movie a whole other level. I think, just

691
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: on acting abilities alone with both of them.

692
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: Was he in Sulburn, Yes, it's him and Barry Keekan so.

693
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: Both of this this past weekend, they were both in

694
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: movies that came out in theaters.

695
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: I was like, I think that was crime went on

696
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: Jacob Alardi's Bathwater. That's right, Yeah, that's.

697
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. An Emerald film movie it has that

698
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: one moment. I don't know if this one had that though. Ah,

699
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe it did. I won't say what it is, but yeah, yeah,

700
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: something close to that. Yeah, it goes there, But there

701
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: was something I don't want to give the moment away.

702
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: Let me talk about the crowd. There was a lot

703
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: of audience participation which I wasn't expecting.

704
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: Where I mean it was like ninety five percent women.

705
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.

706
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: People were applauding at times I didn't think were applauseworthy

707
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: moments that I wasn't expecting. It felt like at times

708
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: a Marvel movie where there was one scene in particular

709
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: where a character appeers on screen and there was like

710
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: a big round of applause. Oh yeah, and it felt

711
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: like Thor came down, or like whenever an Avengers endgame

712
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: where you see the them like on your left and

713
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: everybody appears. It felt like that moment. Yeah, I was

714
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: not expecting that in a movie like this, where it

715
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: was like this big moment where everybody in the crowd

716
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: was like, yes, waiting for that.

717
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: It was just a lot of women wanting to see

718
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: Jacob Belordi and Marco Robbie, which I want to talk

719
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: about the like costume and set design.

720
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: The overall aesthetic of this movie.

721
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 3: Color grading phenomenal.

722
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: Why I'm wearing red right now.

723
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: Phenomenal color grading and just like I mean, Marco Robbie

724
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: is breath taking the stunning added the fact that they

725
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: both have Australian accents in real life, Like I was

726
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: watching a clip of them on The Graham Norton Show

727
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: in the UK with Amanda Seyfried and I was just like,

728
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: the two of them with their Australian accents being that

729
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 3: good looking, It's just it's rude. It's rude to the

730
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: rest of us, Like it's just incredibly rude. But they

731
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: just like they made her look even better these outfits,

732
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: and just like the makeup, The makeup phenomenal, and like

733
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: the color of the bedrooms in one of the houses,

734
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: and just like the depth of the colors.

735
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: The set design was next level all throughout that I

736
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: felt like every single detail was accounted for.

737
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 3: Like I already feel like that has to be ostrominyd

738
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 3: for set design and costume.

739
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: From the bed frames to the wallpaper, to the artwork,

740
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: to every little trinket in the background, all of the land,

741
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: like the landscape of like just the where all the

742
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: houses were, all those things, and then you talk about

743
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: all the locations in the set, like where this movie

744
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: was placed was perfect, like on that cliff and the

745
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: water and all the smoke they used to make the fog.

746
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: That's what gave this movie like that whimsical feeling I

747
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: was talking about where it felt like you were reading

748
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: like a real old fairy tale where people emerge from

749
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: the fog.

750
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: And the music.

751
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Charlie XCX killed it.

752
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just like well then there, Yeah, there's that

753
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 3: song in the beginning that like went like TikTok viral

754
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: where it's like I think I'm gonna die in this

755
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: house and it just like really sets the scene. I

756
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: also loved the mister act at the beginning. But the

757
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: opening scene oh yeah, and I won't say, but there's

758
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 3: like as the title is rolling, there's like sounds in

759
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: the background and you think it's one thing and it's not,

760
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: and so I just yeah, I felt like that was great.

761
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: And like the actress that played the young Margot Robbie

762
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 3: looked so much like a young Margot Robbie.

763
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: Where are they finding all these amazing young actors?

764
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: I know, between that and like Hamlet, yes, yeah, phenomenal.

765
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 3: I feel like in other countries.

766
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Actually here we just get Disney Channel kids. But yeah,

767
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: like you were saying about the music and the score,

768
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: how it felt modern, but then you have this period piece.

769
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: It complimented each other really great, and there were just

770
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: so many little things that I liked. But I think overall, well,

771
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: I guess I went into this movie thinking I wasn't

772
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: going to enjoy it at all. I think the trailer

773
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: didn't do it justice.

774
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: I don't think so much.

775
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: The trailer made it feel like entire something entirely different,

776
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: even with the Charlie XCX song Fallen Love Again and

777
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: again fall Again, And I feel like we've been seeing

778
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: this trailer for four to five months already.

779
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: We have, I have.

780
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: We've seen it so much that I had this entirely

781
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: different movie in my head.

782
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 3: I just want to see the movie to be done

783
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 3: with it, honestly. So I was like, I've seen the

784
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 3: trailer so many times because.

785
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: It is a period piece. Sometimes I have trouble with

786
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: those because I'm dumb.

787
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 2: And usually not true.

788
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: Usually the dialogue is really like, is it Saint Swiven's

789
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: day already? And hega like that. It wasn't like that.

790
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 3: It wasn't like yie old English and it was really

791
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: easy to understand for me that they modernized it.

792
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I have trouble with with period pieces,

793
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: where it's like I I have to pay attention to

794
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: the dialogue so much that I forget what's happening because

795
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm trying to listen to all these weird names.

796
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: That's why when people were like, are you going to

797
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: read the book first, I was like, no, I'm not

798
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 3: reading anything for fun that would have been a signed

799
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 3: to me in grades ninth or twelve or beyond. Yeah,

800
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm not going to reread it. If it's a modern book, sure,

801
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 3: I'm not rereading Weather Nights.

802
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: I feel like this could be a modern day romance classic.

803
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: It just felt really intentional all the way through, really

804
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: great acting, really great characters, and has an amazing backdrop

805
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: that I think this is.

806
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: Going to be a movie.

807
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: I do want to revisit when it comes to streaming.

808
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: I would degree because I think there are probably some

809
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: things that I missed, and I think it's one that

810
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: with rewatchability it could get better.

811
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: I honestly feel like seeing it on a Friday night

812
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: after the end of a very long week, it was

813
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: not the move because it was a little bit slow

814
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: at times.

815
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 1: I would say it took thirty minutes to settle into.

816
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: It, and I think we should have seen it on

817
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 3: like a Saturday.

818
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: But I think overall, I am putting Emerald Fennel on

819
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: my Listelle Fanelle, Emerald Fanelle on my list of directors

820
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: that I'm going to see every single movie. Oh yeah,

821
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: because three really noteworthy movies. Maybe not for everybody, you

822
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: have to be into. They're not raunchy, there just really

823
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: are and they are so polarizing.

824
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 3: Salburn was a little raaunchy.

825
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's an artistic choice to make

826
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: it that raunchy. It's not smut for being the sake

827
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: of being smut. There's intention behind it, there's artistry behind it.

828
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: I would agree with that where it has to be

829
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: that explicit and that over the top to cut through

830
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: everything else. It's kind of like how HBO has a

831
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: fascination which is showing like mail button Wiener because it

832
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: gets your attention. That's what you have to do to

833
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: get people's attention nowadays.

834
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's not really there's no full frontal in

835
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 3: this one that there wasn't. There's one like full frontal

836
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 3: scene in Saltburn. Yeah, so memorable. There's not that, but

837
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 3: there is a lot of two people. Yeah, two adults

838
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: getting adult things, doing adult things.

839
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: Yes, what would you rate it?

840
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Final thoughts here?

841
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean, even saying all of that, I would probably

842
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 3: still give it a four.

843
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh really, Yeah, I'm in between a four and a

844
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: four point five. I think because I ended up thinking

845
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: about it a lot post and like I said earlier,

846
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: it is a movie I want to revisit, and I

847
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: think that says a lot. So I'm gonna go four

848
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 1: point five out of five. Ooh, what's the rating system here?

849
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go four out of five dollhouses.

850
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go four point five out of five red dresses.

851
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: And that is our thoughts on Wuering Heights.

852
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: Whether we did practice that, We did the whole way.

853
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: Home, and I still almost got it wrong, but you didn't.

854
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: I didn't.

855
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: There we go.

856
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: Time to head down to movie Mike Trailer Park. If

857
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: somebody told you you were not alone on this planet,

858
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: and they showed you, they proved it to you, would

859
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: that frighten you? That is the question behind Disclosure Day,

860
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: directed by Steven Spielberg, coming out in theaters on June twelfth.

861
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: I am so excited for this movie. When the trailer

862
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: played at the Super Bowl, I had an entirely different

863
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: perspective on what this movie is going to be. I

864
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: think this movie is going to be massive on a

865
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: scale that I've been waiting for an alien movie like this.

866
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg and aliens go together like peanut, butter and jelly,

867
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: like Ham and Berger. I love hearing him talk about

868
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: this movie and how it just came from his curiosity

869
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: of the sky at night. But it has a fantastic cast.

870
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: It reminds me of one of my favorite alien movies.

871
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: I think a movie we all watched in the early

872
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: two thousands and were scarred by signs Because in this trailer,

873
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: now we are seeing some of the things that the

874
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: aliens are doing on Earth, and the whole thing is

875
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: that the world, the powers that being, the government is

876
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: finally going to let people know that we are not alone.

877
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: But we see crop circles forming. We also see animals

878
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: acting in really strange ways. Before we talk about it more,

879
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: here is just a little bit of the Disclosure Day trailer.

880
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 3: We are interrupting our coverage. There has been a threat

881
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 3: to publicly release government material long shrouded in secrecy.

882
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: Are they people people have a rdy to know the truth?

883
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?

884
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 3: Full disclosure to the whole world all at once?

885
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: There will be no other day like tomorrow. It's going

886
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: to be good. So Steven Spielberg has a fascination with

887
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: the sky at night, and I think as humans, we've

888
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: been so used to the idea of looking up at

889
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: the sky and not thinking anything about it. It just

890
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: is normal to us when we go out at night

891
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: and we see the moon. That is normal to us.

892
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's so normal to us because we've

893
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: experienced it our entire lives that we don't realize how

894
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: bizarre it is if you really think about it. The

895
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: fact that you can go out and see something that

896
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: is so far like the moon and the sun and

897
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: the stars, to me, that tells me we are not

898
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: alone on this planet. And I have had this fascination

899
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: with aliens since I was a kid, probably in fifth

900
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: and sixth grade. I remember reading books about this, listening

901
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: to people's theories about this. And this was back in

902
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: the early two thousands, where if you were interested in

903
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: aliens and thought they were real, you were seen as

904
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: just being kind of crazy, where it's just like, ah,

905
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: you think aliens are real. It has become so much

906
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: more normal now. The government has kind of soft launched

907
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: it with releasing more and more data, with the Pentagon

908
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: being more upfront about things and what this movie is about.

909
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: This could be a reason we are getting this movie

910
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: now is because we are probably closer to whether or

911
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: not they want to let us know what they have

912
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: found out about life outside of Earth. If you pull

913
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: a scope outside of Earth and see how small we are,

914
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: I think it is ridiculous, crazy to believe that we

915
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: are the only living things in this universe. Now, I

916
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: don't think that aliens look the way that they have

917
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: been depicted in movies and in TV shows, and I

918
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: think that has changed a lot of people's perspectives on

919
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: it to make.

920
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: It a little bit unbelievable.

921
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: But what this movie is setting out to do is

922
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: how people are going to react to that. Are you

923
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: going to be frightened? I don't think I would be

924
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: frightened because I don't think there's ever going to be

925
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: one event now that we're going to know the existence

926
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: of aliens and it's going to be proven because We've

927
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: had all these little things, whether it's a tic tac

928
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: like object that can move and stop on a dime,

929
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: unlike any kind of technology we have. It's not a plane,

930
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not a drone. It can move so fast. We've

931
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: seen that the Pentagon has released things that prove that

932
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: has actually happened from real, legit people, and even with

933
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: things like that, there hasn't been a moment for everybody

934
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: in the general public to believe or feel like, oh,

935
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: they just hit aliens are real. We're just never gonna

936
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: believe it. There's not gonna be one event unless they

937
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: come down and it's televised and we have all these

938
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: different angles, We're never gonna believe it. I don't think

939
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: that moment is going to happen because we've had all

940
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: these little things happen and people are still skeptical whether

941
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: or not aliens are real. The moment I always go

942
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: back to not knowing what happened was the incident at

943
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: the mall in Miami where they shut it down completely,

944
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: sent every cop there because there were reports of these

945
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: big alien like creatures that essentially came out of some

946
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: kind of portal and they shut that entire thing down,

947
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: and it was a big news story for a second,

948
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: and then everybody just stopped talking about it.

949
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: Where's the footage, where.

950
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: Are those accounts, those interviews with people who were there.

951
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 2: It just kind of happened.

952
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: Was really weird, no explanation, and we just and then

953
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: we just stopped thinking about it. So I am so

954
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: excited for this movie because to me, here's my theory here,

955
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: movies have been a tool by the government in the

956
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: past to push an agenda, be a form of propaganda.

957
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen fifties and the nineteen sixties, the

958
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: government used film to criticize the Soviet Union and they

959
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 1: spread anti communist messages through American films. And we've seen

960
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: this even in our lifetime. They've used movies to push

961
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: ideas out there or even encourage people to join the army.

962
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: If you look back on franchises we all love, like

963
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: the Transformer, there is a big emphasis on the military

964
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: presence in those movies, and the filmmakers actually worked with

965
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: the military to make things accurate. But if you're gonna

966
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: work with the military to make things accurate, they're kind

967
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: of pushing some ideas onto the public. If you go

968
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: back and watch some of the early Marvel movies, which

969
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: also had some people from the government working on those

970
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: movies to get things accurate. You kind of see the

971
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: influence of them pushing the idea of the military and

972
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: maybe encouraging some people to sign up. So if you

973
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: look back in history, there have been instances where they

974
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 1: pushed ideas through movies to make them seem a little

975
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: bit more digestible, like taking Flintstone's vitamins. It's a little

976
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: bit easier to chew, it doesn't taste as bad. And

977
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: then the idea is there, what if this movie is

978
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: meant to do that launching that idea, seeing how people

979
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: feel if we had a disclosure day where they just

980
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: decide one day, hey, we're gonna let people know, and

981
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: after this day nothing is going to be the same.

982
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: Or is this all fictional? Is this all just a

983
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: high up a Hollywood movie. But it just leads me

984
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: to believe like this could be great timing because we've

985
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: been asking now more than ever, what is going on

986
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: in the world in the news, what is happening here?

987
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: Are we alone? Are we not alone? Why have we

988
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: not been told? What are they keeping from us? Do

989
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: they want us to not freak out and go crazy.

990
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: But could quite possibly they be soft launching the idea

991
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: through a Steven Spielberg movie. I mean, if there's anyone

992
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: I would want to get to soft launch this idea,

993
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: I would get Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg is cinema. The

994
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: thing I love about him is he doesn't have to

995
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: do these movies for money anymore. He even takes a

996
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: lower upfront fee. Has been known now to take about

997
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: ten million dollars and instead get money on the back end,

998
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: because oftentimes he could get one hundred million dollars on

999
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: the back end from just taking that ten million dollars salary.

1000
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: His most famous payday was over two hundred and fifty

1001
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: million dollars for Jurassic Park. And he is also working

1002
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: with the same writer who did the screenplay for a

1003
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, The Lost World, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones,

1004
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: and The Kingdom of Crystal Skull. So this is going

1005
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: to have that classic Steven Spielberg feel. Dude has generated

1006
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: over three billion dollars at the box office. He is

1007
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: a billionaire, one of the only few director billionaires because

1008
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: he has done so many movies that are just essential

1009
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: to the fabric of film where you think, how could

1010
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: one person be responsible for hit after hit, franchise after franchise.

1011
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: So many iconic characters have been pushed through the lens

1012
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: of Steven Spielberg, and I think it is a really

1013
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: important decision for him to make a movie like this

1014
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: right now. So I can't help but going there in

1015
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: my brain. But it also has a fantastic Emily Blunt

1016
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: plays at Kansas City TV meteorologist. You have Josh O'Connor,

1017
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: who is really having a moment in his career right now.

1018
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: I feel like after Challengers his star has just risen

1019
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: so fast, so quickly, and he's just a really good actor.

1020
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: I think of his last few movies he was really

1021
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: good and Knives Out the last installment of that, I

1022
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: thought he was fantastic, and I think that probably pushed

1023
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: him on too people who haven't watched some more of

1024
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: his films as of late. So I think this is

1025
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: a great time for him to be in a movie

1026
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: like this that is gonna get a lot of attention.

1027
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: You also have Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo, which we heard

1028
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: there in that trailer, and also Wyatt Russell, who is

1029
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: the son of Kurt Russell. He is also a part

1030
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: of the THUNDERBOWLT So he's also having a moment right

1031
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: now for being a NEPO baby. But I'm so excited

1032
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: for it. I think it's gonna be one of those

1033
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: you need to see on the biggest screen possible. I

1034
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: can't wait to not only see this movie, but feel

1035
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 1: this movie in my guts. So Disclosure Day is coming

1036
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: out in theaters on June twelfth. And that was this

1037
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: week's edition of Movie Mike Trailer Bar and that is

1038
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna do it for another episode here of the podcast.

1039
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: Before I go, I gotta give my listeners shout out

1047
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,680

1048
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: to my book The Only Plane in the Sky actually

1049
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: made it onto Kelsey's Top Books of the year list,

1050
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,959
Speaker 1: which was featured on your podcast. Her comments were so kind.

1051
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say thank you. So sometimes I

1052
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: forget that people listen and cool people listen, like so

1053
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: thanks Garrett for reaching out. Kelsey was geeking out over that,

1054
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: but that was genuinely one of her favorite books that

1055
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: she read and shared about the audiobook, which book update

1056
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: with me. I'm still chugging along reading Project Hill Mary.

1057
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: It is a lot longer than I thought. Whenever I

1058
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: said a while ago that I thought I was almost

1059
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: halfway through, I went and looked at the actual page

1060
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: count and I'm like, oh man, now I'm really just

1061
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: almost halfway through. But I'm still chugging along. We just

1062
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: got our tickets to see Project Hill Mary in IMAX

1063
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: next month, so I'm excited for that. And now i

1064
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,479
Speaker 1: have a real deadline. But I'm getting there. I'm really

1065
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: into the book. I am just a slow reader, but

1066
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: I do appreciate Garrett for reaching out sending us that email.

1067
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: That means a lot when anybody listens, but when somebody

1068
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: listens to we talk about that's awesome. So thank you

1069
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: Garrett for connecting and totally making Kelsey's day. Kelsey also
