1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie podcast, your 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: go to source for all things movies, and I am 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: your host Movie Mike. Today I am breaking down the 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: best directors who always use the same actors. Will get 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: into who I think are their trademark actors because they 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: are in so many of their movies. I'll give a 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: movie review of the new Netflix movie starring Andrew Garfield 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: called Tick Tick Boom. But the thing I'm most excited 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: about today is to break down the Spider Man No 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: Way Home trailer that came out last week. I am 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: so fired up about that. I have a lot of 12 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: thoughts on that in the theories that have been going 13 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: on online. I can't wait to talk about that. So 14 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: thank you for being subscribed to the podcast for listening 15 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: every single week. Without any further ado, let's get started. 16 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like walking on MTV with 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: glasses from the Nashville podcast Not Work Movie. So scrolling 21 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: through TikTok the other day and I found this clip 22 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: about Quentin Tarantino talking about how he's only gonna make 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: ten movies. It got me to thinking about some of 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: my favorite directors, and then it got me to thinking 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: about how directors kind of have their trademark actors, which 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: I really love because when a director is able to 27 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: collaborate with an actor over and over again, I think 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: you're able to get some of the best movies out 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: of it. Why because once you know a person, you 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: know how they act, you know how to give them direction, 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: you know how to really fulfill your creative vision. I 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: think that really shows on screen. So you don't have 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: to get through that awkward stage of getting to know them. 34 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: You know you have all this history already built in 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: with them. It's kind of like working with a coworker 36 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: who you've known for a long time, which if you 37 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: are not familiar with exactly what a director does. It's 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: mainly the director's job to oversee all the creative things 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 1: that go into a movie from when the script gets written. 40 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes they work with the writers. They're working with everything 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: way in pre production, and then once the movie is 42 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: being filmed, it's their job to make sure they're getting 43 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: the shots they need to make sure they're staying on script. 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: Of course, you have all these other people working and 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: like these little fine tuned roles within the production, but 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: it ultimately lands on their director, and one of the 47 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: biggest things for them is to be able to get 48 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: the performances out of their actors that they need to 49 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: tell their story. And over my lifetime, I've really grown 50 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: to love to see these directors work with the same 51 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: actors over and over again, because I know, no matter what, 52 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: if they're teaming up together, it's probably going to be 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: a great movie. So I put together a list of 54 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: directors and what I think are their go to actors. 55 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: And these aren't my favorite directors of all time, They're 56 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: just the people who have collaborated the most and who 57 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: I would identify with having these trademark actors. So, since 58 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: I was talking about Quentin Tarantino, will start with him 59 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: and who I think his trademark actor is. Samuel L. 60 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Jackson has been in six of his movies, from pulp 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: fiction Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volume two and Glorious Bastards, 62 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: where he was an uncredited voice, Django would Chained and 63 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: The Hateful Late. And to think about Quentin Tarantino, he 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: is trying to make you know, ten movies and call 65 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: it quits, And throughout all of his movies, he's been 66 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: really good about bringing back people that he cares about, 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: that he wants to work with. You watch any Quentin 68 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: Tarantino movie and there's at least one or two actors 69 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: who have been at least another few of his movies. 70 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: But without a doubt, for me, I think the relationship 71 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: and the friendship he's built with Samuel L. Jackson is 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to watch. He always gives 73 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: Samuel L. Jackson a great role in every single movie. 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: And for Samuel L. Jackson, who has been in hundreds 75 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: of movies, literally hundreds of movies, I think he really 76 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: shines in the Quentin Tarantino movie. So he's my favorite 77 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: to watch for sure, and I think that's his trademark actor. 78 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: You could also argue against Uma Thurman, who is in 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: both of the Kill Bill movies and also Win Pulp Fiction, 80 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: or Tim Roth, who has also been in a lot 81 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: of Quentin Tarantino movies from Reservoir Dogs all the way 82 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: up to Once upon a Time in Hollywood. And Quentin 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Tarantino is not my favorite director, I'll watch these single 84 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: movie that he puts out. I think if I had 85 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: a dream interview for this podcast, it would definitely be 86 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino, though, but I think I'll save my favorite 87 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: directors for another episode. Next up on my list is 88 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: another one of my favorite directors, I think a lot 89 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: of people's favorite directors, and it's Martin Scorsese. And he 90 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: also has a lot of frequent collaborators when it comes 91 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: to actors. He's done so many movies, but I think 92 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: his trademark actor is Robert de Niro. Movies that include 93 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: Cape Fear, Casino, Good Fellows, which is one of my 94 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time, Mean Streets, New York, New York, 95 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, just I 96 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: mean The Irishman. There's just so many movies that Martin 97 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: Scorsese and Robert DeNiro have done together and the relationship 98 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: they have built in these big epic dramas that Martin 99 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: Scorsese has known for, and I think without Robert de Niro, 100 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of those movies wouldn't have been the same 101 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: because Robert DeNiro is like the quintessential movie star, and 102 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: I feel now he gets a little bit underrated of 103 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: how good of an actor he really truly is and 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: how much of a range that he has, being able 105 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: to go from these, you know, big epic crime drama 106 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: movies to even doing the more comedic stuff like Meet 107 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: the Parents. But I think it's when he is with 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese in a movie where he truly shines. And 109 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: I think you could also make an argument for Martin 110 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean, they have gangs in 111 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, Wolf of 112 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: Wall Street, and also Killers of the Flower Moon coming 113 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: out soon on Apple TV Plus. But I felt like 114 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: their relationship came together later in like the two thousands 115 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: and has since been really strong. But if you're going 116 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: with Martin Scorsese's trademark actor, I'm going with Robert de Niro. 117 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: Next up all my list is almost a director I 118 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: thought of first when making this whole podcast, because I 119 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: feel like Wes Anderson pretty much deals with a little 120 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: pool of actors that he puts in every single movie. 121 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: And I'm not the biggest Wes Anderson fan, but I 122 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: love his aesthetic in movies. I love his creative vision. 123 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: I love that any movie trailer you see you know 124 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: immediately that it's a Wes Anderson movie, and then upon 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: watching his movies, you get the exact same feel in 126 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: every single movie. His voice in film is I think 127 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: is one of the strongest of any director in our lifetime. 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't always think they're the most entertaining movies. I 129 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: think sometimes they're a little kind of indie, kind of 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: pretent to sent away, like very artsy. But I totally 131 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: give him credit for having that aesthetic, and I think 132 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: a lot of that is due to the actors that 133 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: he works with over and over again, everyone from Jason 134 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Schwartzman to Owen Wilson. But I think his quintessential go 135 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: to trademark actor I would give to Bill Murray. I 136 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: think they're the best pairing of director actor duo's probably 137 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: in this entire list. From Rushmore Royal Tannembombs, The Life Aquatic, 138 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: which I think is his best movie, I mean, fantastic 139 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: Mr Fox, Grand Budapest Hotel, and then even this year 140 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: with the French This Patch. No matter the role, the 141 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: size of the role that Bill Murray has in Wes 142 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: anders and movie, I think that's just a go to 143 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: director actor pairing, so I had to put them on 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: this list. Next up on my list, I'm going with 145 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan, And immediately you kind of think of Christian 146 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Bale from The bat Night Begins, Dark Knight Rises, The 147 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, and The Prestige. But I think even more 148 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: so than Christian Bale, the actor that Christopher Nolan loves 149 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: to put in his movies is Michael Caine from all 150 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: the Batman movies and then also in the Prestige inception 151 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: Interstellar dun Kirk Tennant. You always have Michael Kine there, 152 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: and I think they've done some great work together. And 153 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: Michael Caine at eighty eight years old, and it's been 154 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: kind of rumored that he's retired from acting, but he 155 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: hasn't yet. He said he's still doing movies. I hope 156 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: he at least does a few more Christopher Nolan movies. 157 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: Like I know they're doing the whole New Batman thing 158 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: with Robert Pattinson, and that was only meant to be 159 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: that trilogy with Christopher Nolan. But if they got back 160 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: together Christopher Nolan, Michael Caine, Christian Bale and did one 161 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: more movie, it would be the most epic thing of 162 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: all time. I'll get into you later how they're working 163 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: with the whole multi versus Spider Man now. But if 164 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: like d C, saw all the hype created now with 165 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Spider Man, imagine doing that with Batman. It would be insane. 166 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: But I digress. So I wanted to do five of these, 167 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: and my last one I would go with Kevin Smith 168 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: and Ben Affleck. I think, for a while, Kevin Smith 169 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: was probably my favorite director, and I think it's because 170 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: of his kind of approach to filmmaking and the way 171 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: he talks about it and made it seem like somebody 172 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: like me or anybody who just picks up a video camera, 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: has a story, has some friends, could make a movie. 174 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's why I was so inspired by 175 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: his work early on. And I always found this relationship 176 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: between him and Ben Affleck so interesting. It's because I 177 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: always found Ben Affleck to be an a list actor, 178 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: and you know, when I grew up, he was in 179 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: all these big movies. He was dating Jennifer Lopez, but 180 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: I felt like he always did these movies as kind 181 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: of a favorite to Kevin Smith or I don't know, 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: that's just what I associated with in my head it, 183 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: but he was really such a big part of all 184 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: with Kevin Smith's Buiskew movies, and it was kind of 185 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: cool just to see an actor at his level still 186 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: doing these kind of comedies, everything from my favorite Kevin 187 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: Smith movie, Mallrat, Chasing Amy, Dogma Jane, Silent Bob, strike Back, 188 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: and two dozen one Jersey Girl Clerks Too, And then 189 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I recently watched the Jay and Silent Bob reboot that 190 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: came out last I Think, in which is a little 191 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: bit underwhelming for me because I felt like I just 192 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: did the same movie again in kind of a newer setting. 193 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: But I still always love the Kevin Smith Ben Affleck combo. 194 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: So if I was making those top five, that's who 195 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: would go on my list. Some other ones I had 196 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: some honorable mentions were Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. They 197 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: did Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me if you Can, The Terminal, 198 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: Timeless Call, Bridge of Spies, and The Post, And the 199 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: thing about that relationship is, for some reason, I don't 200 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: always associate Steven Spielberg with Tom Hanks. I just associate 201 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg with really directing all of the greatest actors 202 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: who has ever been on any kind of screen. But 203 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: they have worked together again and again, so that's a 204 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: really great team as well. I was also thinking about 205 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: m Night Shamalan and Bruce Willis because I think of 206 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: m night Shamalan's best movies, the common denominator is that 207 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Bruce Willis was always in them. From The Sixth Sense, 208 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Unbreakable Split, and Glass. I think the only one of 209 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: his that I really liked that Bruce Willis wasn't in 210 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: was The Village and then probably Devil. Another one that 211 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: almost made the list was Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. 212 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: Adam McKay directed all the Anchorman movies. He also did 213 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. I think he was with 214 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: Will Ferrell at the height of his career really kind 215 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: of made him the biggest comedic movie star of the 216 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: early two thousands. I think a relationship that Will Ferrell 217 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: really kind of strived on. And then I had a 218 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: couple more that are newer director combos that they've done 219 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: a few movies together so far, but I think if 220 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: they kept working with each other, we would see one 221 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: of these relationships kind of form. The first one is 222 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: Greta Gerwig and Searcher Ronan and also slashed Timothy shall Mate. 223 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: She's only done a couple of movies that she's directed, 224 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: which one was Lady Bird and the other was Little Women. 225 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Both had Timothy Shallowmy and sar Sharonan. Both were Best 226 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: Picture nominees, and I already associate those two actors with 227 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Greta Gerwig, So I hope she continues to work with 228 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: them because I could see a big relationship there. And 229 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: then the other one I had were the Russo Brothers 230 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: and Tom Holland. Now, the Russo Brothers directed Avengers Infinity War, 231 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: Avengers Endgame, and they also did a movie last year 232 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: called Cherry with Tom Holland and one I just feel 233 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: like the Russo brothers really understand Marvel, and I really 234 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: like the direction and what they've done with Tom Holland 235 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: crossing over a spider Man in those movies, and how 236 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: they were also able to work with him in that 237 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: movie Cherry. I think as a team they have what 238 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: it takes to kind of get Tom Holland to that 239 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: next level of actor, to get him to the bigger 240 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: movies that I know he is capable of. I think 241 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: they can pull those performances out of him because they 242 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: already have that comfort of knowing him and like his 243 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: quintessential role as Spider Man, but also working with more 244 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: of the dramatic, less superhero stuff. I would like to 245 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: see them do more movies together. And then there's one 246 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: more that I didn't feel comfortable putting on this list, 247 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: mainly because I I'm not the biggest fan of this 248 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: director or any of his movies, and I think a 249 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: lot of it is hindered at the fact that he 250 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: uses the same actors over and over. Almost that it's 251 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: hurting his movies because I feel like it's the same 252 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: thing again and again, has the same kind of style 253 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: in every single movie, and with the same actors. I 254 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: think it kind of makes me want to see his 255 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: movies less. And that director is Tim Burton, and he 256 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: seems to put Johnny Depp in all of his movies 257 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: and also Helena Bonham Carter like they're in every single 258 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Tim Burton movie. I mean, I think in the nineties 259 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: it was fine when Johnny Depp was in Edward Scissor Hands, 260 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, But then when I think it 261 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: got to like two thousands and he was in Corpse 262 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: Bride as a voice Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is 263 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: I think the one that kind of made me. I 264 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: really didn't like that movie whatsoever. I felt like it 265 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: took all the heart out of the first one and 266 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: made it unenjoyable for me. And then he went on 267 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: to do Sweeney Todd Alice in Wonderland Dark Shadows, Like 268 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: all those movies just felt like the same thing over 269 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: and over again. So they are frequent collaborators, but I 270 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: think in that case it actually hurts them a little bit, 271 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: at least for me. If you have an actor and 272 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: director combo that is one of your favorites, hit me up, 273 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: send me a tweet at Mike Distro, comment on my 274 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Facebook page, Facebook dot com, slash Mike Destro, or shoot 275 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: me an email movie Mike d at gmail dot com. 276 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Come back with a spoiler free movie review, and then 277 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: we'll get into the segment I've been waiting for breaking 278 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: down Spider Man No Way Home the trailer. I'm gonna 279 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: get into a spoiler free movie review now talking about 280 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: the new movie streaming on Netflix called Tick Tick Boom, 281 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: starring Andrew Garfield. It is the directorial debut of Lynn 282 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Manuel Miranda, who was the Hamilton's Guy, a movie. I 283 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: didn't know what I was going to think about because 284 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm not in a musical. But over time I've been 285 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: trying to expose myself more and more to musicals because 286 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: I feel like this is gonna be a big movie. 287 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: It'll probably be nominated for some Oscars. I'll get into 288 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: what I thought about the movie. But before I get 289 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: into that, instead of playing you a trailer like I 290 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: normally do, I'm gonna play you a song that happens 291 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: in the movie. Because the whole movie is about Jonathan Larson, 292 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: who is a famous playwright. He did Rent and it's 293 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: his story of deciding and figuring out if he picked 294 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: the right career. And this is apart from the movie 295 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: that I found that I kind of turned from not 296 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: liking this movie to enjoying it. And it's a scene 297 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: that kind of showcases what the movie is about. I 298 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: thought it was a real highlight early on in the movie, 299 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: and without this scene, I don't think I would have 300 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: ended up even finishing the movie. But here's just a 301 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: little bit of tick tick boom lying dying. I thought, 302 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: by now I have a talk that start drinking before 303 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: we start thinking life. This This is so why I 304 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: decided to play that clip for you. Here's the reason why. Now. 305 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: About ten minutes into this movie, I was like, this 306 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: movie is not for me. I'm not liking you whatsoever. 307 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: And it's because of it's theatrical nature. And sometimes I 308 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: have problems with musicals, especially ones that have to do 309 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: with like theater, Broadway, all those kinds of things, because 310 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: I feel like they're a little bit pretentious. They're very artsy, 311 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: and I think that whole kind of art form has 312 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: this connotation to it that to be into it you 313 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: have to have like this higher level of thinking. You 314 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: have to find things like people just bursting out into 315 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: song enjoyable, and you really have to buy into the 316 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: fact that whoever is making and directing these and writing 317 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: these is trying to make a statement on the world 318 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: and portray it through these characters and this story. And 319 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: sometimes it's just hard for me to connect it, and 320 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't really find it that entertaining. But at this 321 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: moment in the movie, I realized that it was a 322 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: different kind of way to tell this story because while 323 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: they do burst out into song in the same way 324 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: they would in a Broadway musical, there is a deeper, 325 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: more emotional level to this movie, and I think that's 326 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: what they did a great job with. I think it's 327 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: probably due to lin Manuel Miranda kind of taking what 328 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: he would do in a show like Broadway and making 329 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: it an actual movie where I think it's really where 330 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: they shine through. Why they are having these scenes that 331 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: seem like they're just straight up ripped off from a 332 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: Broadway play. There's scenes like this that kind of showcase that, 333 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: but there's also the emotional scenes that are telling a story, 334 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's where this movie really kind of 335 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: shine through. So the movie follows the life of Jonathan 336 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: Larson before he ever created Rant, before he even got 337 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: his first play done, and it's the story of him 338 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: kind of battling if he's picked the right career year 339 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: he has somebody who completely throws himself into is are 340 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: almost to a fault to where maybe he's not as 341 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: supportive of his friends, he doesn't keep up with all 342 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: his friendships because he is determined to make it. He's 343 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: putting all his effort into creating this play and hopefully 344 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: getting on Broadway. So you get the story from his eyes, 345 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: and I think what also really kind of made me 346 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: enjoy this movie was Andrew Garfield, like he is such 347 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: a great actor. It was really cool to see him 348 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: take this character and really kind of bring it to 349 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: life and tie it in from the musical performances to 350 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: the drama that went along with everything. I thought he 351 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: really did a great job at that. I also thought 352 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: this movie did a really great job of portraying New 353 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: York City in a way I really haven't seen it before, 354 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: and you think, well, New York City has been the 355 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: backdrop of so many movies, how could you do that? Well? 356 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: I think it's because it kind of looked at people 357 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: in the most humane possible that I've really seen in 358 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: a movie at this level, to where you're seeing the 359 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: kind of day to day sometimes ordinary life kind of amplified, 360 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: and I really like that they focused on that, everything 361 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: from the apartment living to kind of them depicting on 362 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: what it's like to be in theater. I thought it 363 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: was a pretty cool scope of New York City. So 364 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: coming from somebody who doesn't like musicals, I decided to 365 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: give this movie a chance, and I'm really happy that 366 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: I did. And I think I owe a lot of 367 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: that to enjoying it too greatly Andrew Garfield, but I 368 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: think it's also lin Manuel Miranda really kind of taking 369 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: the reins on this role as director in making this 370 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: unlike any of the other movies he's done before, and 371 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: really focused on kind of making a great film that 372 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: if you took all the musical elements out of it, 373 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like just the performances from it would still 374 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: be a good movie without that. And I think that's 375 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: what I feel like I miss out sometimes on musicals, 376 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: is like the story is hard to follow when it's 377 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: just being told through song. I think when you tell 378 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: the story and acting and scenes, you're able to get 379 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: that across a lot better. The acting was great. The 380 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: songs I found myself, even though I like Broadway style songs, 381 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: I found myself enjoying them. It was also just cool 382 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: to learn about Jonathan Larkson's story, who I had no 383 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: idea about. I really didn't know much about Rent. I 384 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: knew probably the one song that everybody else knows. And 385 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: I think also the fact that it had to do 386 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: with him kind of struggling with the idea of turning 387 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: thirty and knowing that he only had a limited amount 388 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: of time to you know, live out his creative dream, 389 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: which is something I think anybody else who has ever 390 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: done anything creative always kind of wonders of, like, you know, 391 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: is it really worth it for me to chase this 392 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: dream that I've been doing my entire life. Is it 393 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: really worth it? If I'm not at that point yet. 394 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: And it's seeing him hit some pretty emotional lows that 395 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: I felt kind of resonated with me. So I don't 396 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: think this movie is for everyone if you're not into musicals. 397 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: It's a bit of a stretch in the very beginning 398 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: of like, Okay, I I could turn this out right 399 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 1: now and be fine. But if you get through it, 400 00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: you kind of learn what they're going for and you're 401 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: looking for the story in this movie, I think you 402 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: will enjoy it. If you're already into musicals. I think 403 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: this might be one of your favorite movies of the year, 404 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: and it's already probably gonna be nominated for a bunch 405 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: of Oscars. So if you want to get in early 406 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: on one of those movies, another one to check out 407 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: on Netflix. So tick tick boom. If I had to 408 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: give it a rating, I would rate it right at 409 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: three point five out of five New York Diners. It's 410 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: that time again. The part of the podcast where we 411 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: check out the new movies coming out in theaters very 412 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: soon and breaking down the trailers. Here we go, It's 413 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: time to head down to movie Paul, and obviously the 414 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: first one we have to talk about a Spider Man 415 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: No Way Home. The trailer came out last week. I 416 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: was refreshing my feed on my phone every like ten 417 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: minutes throughout the entire day waiting for this movie trailer 418 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: to drop, and I gotta say, I think the trailer delivered. 419 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: I was pretty excited after watching it, but it did 420 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: raise a lot of questions, a lot of fan theories 421 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: going out on the internet about what's happening with the 422 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: No Way Home movie. And I'll get into my theories 423 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: on it, but first I just want to look at 424 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: the facts, because I think if you are online, you're 425 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: on TikTok on Twitter, everybody's kind of talking about who's 426 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: gonna be in Spider Man No Way Home. And I'm 427 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: just looking at the facts of the trailer. What we 428 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: got to see for the very first time where all 429 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: of the villains. So I'll break down all the villains 430 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: that were introduced in this trailer, but first let's just 431 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: take a look at the trailer. Hello, Peter, you're not 432 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: met a Boger third Dangerous already universe. I can not 433 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: to take this work from me. Pater, you're struggling. Damn 434 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: it s thank you want while the world tries to 435 00:21:53,840 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: make you choose. This is all my fault. I can't 436 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: say there at all. What's happening. It's starting to come through. 437 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I can't stop him, all right, So let's break that down. 438 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: So before this, we already knew docc and Green Goblin 439 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna be in this movie. But now, for the 440 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: first time, we see that Sandman from the Tobey Maguire 441 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: Spider Man universe. Is this You have Jamie Foxx as 442 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: Electro the Lizard from the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider Man, 443 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: all the villains in this movie. So what they're kind 444 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: of depicting in this is it's a multiverse of all 445 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: the villains and Tom holland Spider Man having to defeat them. 446 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: But you hear a lot in that trailer. Some of 447 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: the things that kind of still stick out to me is, 448 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: you know Dr Strange saying that he can't hold some 449 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: of these people back, and you get to wondering who 450 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: that is, and I think it's the final scene in 451 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: this trailer that a lot of people are breaking down, 452 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: and there's a moment where Spider Man is lunging at 453 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: three different villains. It's Electro, Sandman, and Lizard, and people 454 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: are saying that has to me. And there are two 455 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: people missing from this frame that Marvel has edited out, 456 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: Toby McGuire and Andrew Garfield. Now, a long time ago, 457 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: I said that I don't think they're in this movie, 458 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: and I still kind of hold true to that. It's 459 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: becoming more and more apparent that they could be in 460 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: this movie, mainly from that trailer. So I'm kind of 461 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: been going back and forth on this the entire week, 462 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: but looking at the facts here, and I'm thinking of 463 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: Marvel as a business and I'm thinking of Marvel of 464 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: what they want to do that's best for them, and 465 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: they don't really almost anything. They've never said there was 466 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: going to be a MultiVersus Spider Man, and they have 467 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: really invested in Tom Holland and getting his character right 468 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: and getting people kind of re interested in Spider Man again, 469 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: as you know, essentially the third reboot of this character, 470 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: and they've done a really great job at it, and 471 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: Tom Holland is the star of this movie, and I 472 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: kind of feel that introducing Toby maguire and Andrew Garfield 473 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: would take away from that. And I think a lot 474 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: of this is kind of the same thing that happened 475 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: whenever Justin timber Lake was set to perform at the 476 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: halftime show at the super Bowl, and everybody was like, Oh, 477 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: it has to be in sync. He has to be 478 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: bringing back all the Instinct members to do a song 479 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: with him, and you know, Justin timber Lake was like, 480 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: I never said that this is my halftime show. I 481 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: don't really need to bring them in to take anything 482 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 1: away from my performance. So it was a lot of 483 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: just fans speculation, which is kind of what I think 484 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: is happening now. But what you do see and hear 485 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: in this trailer is doc doc realizing that that is 486 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: not the Spider Man that he knows. It's not the 487 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: Peter Parker from his world. So it does kind of 488 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: leave it open there that maybe Toby McGuire does appear 489 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: in this. People are saying there's some scenes that are 490 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: reminiscent of when Andrew Garfield Spider Man saved em A 491 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: Stone's character in that movie. The falling scene. There's a 492 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: lot of just kind of references to other Spider Man movies, 493 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: and I also think it's a little bit of people 494 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: just wanting to buy into that. And I've said before 495 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't really care about movie spoilers, but I'm not 496 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: going to seek them out. I'm not gonna go online 497 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: and do all this research of looking at different cuts 498 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: of the trailer from different countries to notice things off 499 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: from it. If they are in this movie, I want 500 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: to experience that in theaters. I think it'd be such 501 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: a big moment that if they actually appeared, the theater 502 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: would go insane. I'm already not going to look at 503 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: my phone. I'm not going to look at Twitter or 504 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: TikTok the night or the day of before I go 505 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: see this movie, because if it does happen, I don't 506 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: want to ruin it. And when I do come on 507 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: and review it, I won't even talk about that part 508 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: if it does happen. It kind of feels like all 509 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: the people who love to open their Christmas present early 510 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: are the same people looking out for these spoilers and 511 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: trying to leak this. And also again going back to 512 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Marvel as an entity as a business. They want to 513 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: keep promoting the characters in their upcoming movies, So why 514 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: couldn't it be Venom? Why couldn't Dot join up with 515 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: Spider Man to fight the other characters in this the 516 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: other villains. They're trying to move this franchise forward, especially 517 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: going into this new phase of Marvel where they don't 518 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: have all their normal Avengers, so I could see them 519 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: kind of crossing together and bringing in Venom or maybe 520 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: even more Beous before his movie comes out. I just 521 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,239 Speaker 1: think they're more like kind of synergy to work in 522 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: to keep their brand going and keep all these characters going, 523 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: and also at just not denying the fact that they're 524 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: not in it. The movie is basically marketing itself for 525 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: people like me coming on and talking about that with 526 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: all the fan theories, they're building the hype without them 527 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: even having to promote it. So don't get me wrong, 528 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: I would love to see it. Spider Man is my 529 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: favorite comic book character, my favorite superhero, So just like you, 530 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: I think that would be the most amazing thing. Ever, 531 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: it just seems like something really hard to pull off, 532 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: and for two people like Toby Maguire Andrew Garfield, I 533 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: don't know that they would even want to do it. 534 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: I felt like they were have kind of said before 535 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: they were a little bit done with the character. You know, 536 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: some of them were promised other movies. They were promised 537 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: to kind of keep those characters going for another movie, 538 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: But at this point in their career, I don't know 539 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: that they would want to do it, especially for somebody 540 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: like Andrew Garfield. I was just talking about his last movie, 541 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: and every single interview he did for that, everybody was asking, Hey, 542 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: are you in the New Spider Man. I think that 543 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: would get a little bit tiring to be associated with 544 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: that character all the time. So either way, this movie 545 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: is going to have major, major box ofpic success when 546 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: it comes out on December. If that is true. It 547 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: will be incredibly hard to keep that spoiler out, And 548 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: I feel like Marvel has always done a really great 549 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: job about telling people, Hey, don't spoil the movie. Don't 550 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: spoil the movie. But that's a major spoiler. And I 551 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: just think that Marvel is really smart about what they 552 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: do put out in their trailers, and they do things 553 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: to get people talking. So nothing in that trailer got 554 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: leaked out by accident. I don't think by dissecting get 555 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna find something that you weren't supposed to see. 556 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: They've edited out things from their trailers before to throw 557 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: us off, so that could be the case here. But 558 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: either way, I'm super excited for this movie. I'm already 559 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: about it, buy my tickets, and it will probably be 560 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: my favorite movie of the year. But anyway, let's continue 561 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: on here in the trailer park and talk about Don't 562 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: Look Up, which is a movie coming out in theaters 563 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: on December tenth and then on Netflix on December. Really 564 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: big cast here from We Are Not a DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, 565 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Ariana Grande. The list goes on 566 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: and on and on. But before I get into this trailer, 567 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of that I hear. There's 568 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: something you don't like the looks of We discovered a 569 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: very large comment tone. It's headed directly towards Earth. This 570 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: comment is what we call a planet killer. At this 571 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: exact moment, I say, we sit tight, and assess, sit tight, 572 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: and assess sit tight, and then assess. The sit tight 573 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: part comes first, and you've got to digest it. That's 574 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: the assessment period. This is the worse snooze in the 575 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: history of humanity. He just blew us off. What are 576 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: we gonna do? We have to release the information, so 577 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: we just leak it. So this movie is about to 578 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: low level astronomers played by Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, 579 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: and they're basically trying to warm everybody that is six 580 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: months this giant comment is going to collide with Earth 581 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: and take us all out, and basically nobody cares. So 582 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: it's kind of a dark comedy from Adam McKay, who 583 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier, who was known for comedies, 584 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: and also just kind of a satire on the state 585 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: of the world right now. They call it a movie 586 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: based on a true story that hasn't happened yet, implying 587 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: that this could probably happen some day in the future. 588 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: So I think the thing that stands out the most 589 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: from this trailer is seeing all these big actors kind 590 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: of come out together. And I remember when this movie 591 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: was first announced, they just listed this entire cast of characters, 592 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: and I wondered, how would they all kind of work 593 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: together in a movie. Everybody from Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy shallow May, 594 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, are on a ground ned Jonah Hill, Chris Evans, 595 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: Meryl Street. The list goes on and on and on. 596 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: But after watching this, I kind of see how it works. 597 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: They all have kind of smaller minor roles here and 598 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: there spread out through the movie. And sometimes when you 599 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: have this amount of actors in the movie, it means 600 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: that the movie is going to be bad because you're 601 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: kind of pitching it is, Oh, here, all these A 602 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: List actors in a movie. It can't fail because they 603 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: all promoted and everybody will want to see all these 604 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: people in one single movie. And sometimes I feel like 605 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: those movies flop. But in this case, kind of getting 606 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: to see it, knowing that Adam McKay is behind it 607 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: directing it, I think there's truly something here. And looking 608 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: at the two starring actors with Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, 609 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: I think that means it's gonna be a good movie. 610 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: Because Leonardo DiCaprio worked with the director and writer Adam 611 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: McKay for months kind of fine tuning his part. The 612 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: part of Jennifer Lawrence was written specifically for her, and 613 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't until they had the script just right that 614 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: Leonardo decided to be a part of the movie. And 615 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: the other thing about Adam McKay, if you're not familiar 616 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: with his acting style, he's very open to letting these 617 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: actors improv. He kind of gives them total freedom when 618 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: they're working together, when they're doing a scene, to make 619 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: it their own, and I think that's sometimes where you 620 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: get some of the best stuff. There's one scene in 621 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: particular that takes place in the White House of Office 622 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: where they said it took two days to film him, 623 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: and he allowed them to do nothing but improvised during 624 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: those two days, and the scene they were filming ended 625 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: up being sixteen minutes long that they cut down. So 626 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: I think if you have big actors lots of improv 627 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: you should end up getting a pretty funny movie. So 628 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: I went from being just interested in this movie because 629 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: of the cast, but learning more about the process it 630 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: took to getting this movie made, to really being excited 631 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: about this also feels a little bit oscar batty coming 632 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: out later in the year with all these actors, but 633 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm hoping for the best on this one. Don't Look 634 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: Up comes out again in theaters on December tent and 635 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: on Netflix on December. This makes a movie bar. All right, 636 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: Well that's gonna do it for this week's episode. But 637 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: before I hop out of here, every single week I 638 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: give a listener shout out to anybody who sends me 639 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: an Instagram message, a comment, tweets me at Mike Destro 640 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: or sends me an email movie Mike D at gmail 641 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: dot com. And for this week, I'm going over to 642 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: the Instagram comments on my last video and this is 643 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: a comment from Jessica Smith, who wrote, Mike D. This 644 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: is an incredible interview. You should be so proud of 645 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: yourself for this accomplishment at Chris Columbus is a big deal. 646 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: Way to go, so appreciate that, Jessica. Glad you enjoyed 647 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: that interview on last week's podcast. If you missed that, 648 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: I did talk to Chris Columbus, who was the director 649 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: of the first Harry Potter movie. We got into everything 650 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: about the twentieth anniversary when the coolest interviews I think 651 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: I've had a chance to do on this podcast. So 652 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: if you miss that, you can go back in the 653 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: episode and check out that interview, or you can see 654 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: the clip on my Instagram at Mike Destro. Really, thank 655 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: you to everybody who enjoyed that interview and send a message, 656 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: send a comment, send an email. I think the only 657 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: complaint I saw about that interview is that I wish 658 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: it would have been longer, which I fully agree with. 659 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's tougher to get the bigger names for a 660 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: longer amount of time, so definitely, as this podcast grows, 661 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: that's something I am striving to do. Thank you for listening. 662 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: Hope you have a great rest of your week, and 663 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: until next time. Later,
