What other podcast 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: does all those things? Today we are breaking down the 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: top five zombie movies of all time, at least in 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: my opinion. I just watched Army of the Dead, so 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of inspired by that. I'll give that review 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: later on in the podcast, and then I'll also be 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: reviewing another movie called North Hollywood, which is a skateboarding 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: movie with a different twist that I've seen before, So 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that movie without any further ado. 12 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: Let's just get started. In a world where everyone and 13 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: their mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: a walking audiend with classes from the Nashville Podcast Networks 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: Movie Movie Podcast. All right, let's talk about zombie movies. Now. 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: I think there's a very thin line when it comes 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: to you making a great zombie movie, a mediocre zombie movie, 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: and then overall just a bad zombie movie, because really 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: they all have the overall pretty basic premise. There's something 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: that goes wrong turns a bunch of people into zombies, 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: and then it's a group of people trying to survive. 24 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: And I was kind of interested in Army of the 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Dead and how they had a whole different spin on that, 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: which I'll get into later, but I feel like that's 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: overall the consensus of what a zombie movie is now. 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: They were popular in late sixties, in the seventies with 29 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: a George A. Romero movies also in the eighties, but 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: I feel they kind of had a resurgence into two thousands, 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: which is really when I got into zombie movies, and 32 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: then I feel like we got over saturated with zombies 33 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: in about the twenty tents whenever The Walking Dead came out, 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: although I do feel we had a bit of a 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: shift going from overall just kind of like the straight 36 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: on zombie horror action genre to the kind of in 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: between comedy and thriller zombie movies, which I think I 38 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: would say are kind of more of my favorite, because 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: I think the zombie genre there's a lot to kind 40 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: of have fun with and kind of play with, and 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: also if you kind of make fun of yourself in 42 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: a zombie movie, I think it more entertaining. So that's 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: kind of why I lean a little bit towards some 44 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: of those movies, because when you really think about zombie movies, 45 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: that could be kind of domb the overall premise of 46 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: what a zombie is. I think you have to have 47 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of campiness in it when you're making 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: a movie, unless you're going on full hardcore horror, bloody 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: violence when it comes to zombies. So I put together 50 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: my top five list, and then I also asked the 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: question on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to see what you 52 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: guys had on your list and how they kind of compared. So, 53 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: knowing that about what I like about horror movies, what 54 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: I like about zombie movies, and also kind of when 55 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: I grew up in my influential time of these movies, 56 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: I think my list will kind of reflect that. So 57 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: I just wanted to see what you guys thought too. 58 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: So at number five, we'll get right into it. I 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: went with a newer movie at number five because looking 60 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: at my list, they were basically all in the two thousands, 61 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: which I think was probably for me when I really 62 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: got into them, and after a while I got a 63 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: little bit burned down to the whole genre, so I 64 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: think in the two thousands and really when I was like, oh, 65 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: this is what I want to watch right now, but 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: it last year I watched a movie called Hashtag Alive, 67 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: which is a movie from South Korea. But why I 68 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: really like this zombie movie is that it felt more 69 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: authentic to me of what could really happen in the 70 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: real world and also how I would react in this situation. 71 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: It's about this kid, probably around mid twenties, and he 72 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: gets stuck in his apartment and there's a zombie apocalypse 73 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: happening right outside of his door, and he kind of 74 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: barricades himself in his apartment and then starts communicating with 75 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: another girl across the way and in her apartment, trying 76 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: to contact her while also trying to stay alive. And 77 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: they also kind of formed his bond in relationship by 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: communicating through the window. But what I liked about this 79 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: movie is that it happens at the very beginning of 80 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: the zombie outbreak and you experience it as the character 81 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: does of like what you kind of do in that situation. 82 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: You're stuck in your apartment, you have no electricity, you 83 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: have no food, and also you really don't have many 84 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: survival skills to get through a zombie apocalypse. You got 85 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: your cell phone, but without any kind of battery power 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: or WiFi, Like, what are you really gonna do? And 87 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: there's some cool parts where he kind of uses a 88 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: drone to communicate with a girl across the street, finds 89 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: a way to get food, and even with the language 90 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: barrier of it being in Korean, I almost feel like 91 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: it makes you be a little bit more in tune 92 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: to watching this movie. You're kind of paying attention a 93 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: lot more. And I think it overall states pretty true 94 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: to the zombie genre as far as the zombie is 95 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: a pretty brainless They just kind of follow along and 96 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: they attack wherever they hear noise and they go to 97 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: kill you. So the zombies aren't really anything unique in 98 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: this movie. I think it's more of the character situation 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: it is in present times. The fact that it is 100 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: a movie with subtitles, I think it makes it more enjoyable. 101 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen that one, it's a newer one, 102 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: I would recommend. I really enjoyed it. And I also 103 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: like when zombie outbreak movies start from the very beginning, 104 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: when you're realizing how bad this is getting, and you 105 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: really don't know if they're SIGRed as or I really 106 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: don't like it when they're kind of dropped right in 107 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the middle of everything. So I would recommend hashtag Alive 108 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: at number five. At number four, I'm gonna go with 109 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: the o G comedy zombie movie Shaun of the Dead 110 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, And this is kind of my introduction, 111 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: i think, really everybody's introduction into Simon Peg and the 112 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: whole kind of English comedy and it's not really a 113 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: parody of a zombie movie aside from the title, but 114 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: it also kind of pokest fund at the genre. And 115 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: not only was in my introduction to Simon Peg, it 116 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: was also my introduction into the director Edgar Wright, who 117 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: has done a lot of great movies, but I think 118 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: this one is probably one of his best, mainly because 119 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: it's so kind of career defining and overall, when I 120 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: saw you guys submitting all of your comments online, I 121 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: think this is the one that I saw the most. 122 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: And overall, I'm a pretty big fan of Simon Peg. 123 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: I never really got into all of his movies. I 124 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: think between this one in Hot Fuzz would be my favorite, 125 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: but Shaun of the Dad just ranks as my favorite 126 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: Simon Peg movie and one of my favorite zombie movie, 127 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: so I had to put it at number four. At 128 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: number three, I went with I Am Legend from two 129 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: thousand and seven. Now, this is not a full on 130 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: zombie movie, but when you realize what happens in this movie, 131 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: it's basically turning everybody into a little bit more of 132 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: a sophisticated zombie. This one, you're really kind of put 133 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: into the whole world of I Am Legend at the 134 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of the very mental Towards the end of the outbreak, 135 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: you get a little bit of backstory of what happened, 136 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: what went wrong, what they were trying to do, and 137 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're Will Smith in the 138 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: middle of everything, trying to survive and save these people, 139 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: save humanity. And I think for the time when this 140 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: one came out, it was really kind of on the 141 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: edge of like zombies becoming a little bit more mainstream 142 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: once The Walking Dead came out later, But I think 143 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: it was at a time we were all like, man, 144 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: something like this could really happen, This could be something 145 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: that we would all have to deal with in a 146 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: movie that I kind of in my brain reference every 147 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: now and then, like, oh, what if something leads this. 148 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: They're developing new things every single day. They were like, Oh, 149 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: this can really be the end of us, and I 150 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: think I am Legend is a really great representation of that. 151 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: And the zombies in this movie aren't your traditional zombies, 152 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: like I said, there are a lot more advanced. They 153 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: even look a little bit different. But nonetheless, it is 154 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: a post apocalyptic world about people who will kill you 155 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: and overall take over the world. So I think it 156 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: was just that factor of it being something that could 157 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: actually happen, and also a movie that doesn't really have 158 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: a happy ending, which I think overall zombie movies do not. 159 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Maybe one two people survive, that's it. But there's a 160 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: lot of sad moments in this movie too, so I 161 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: think that's also what got me. So I had to 162 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: put this one at number three. At number two, I 163 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: always go back to something wanting to make me laugh, 164 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: like I like that in the horror genre, like a 165 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: good comedy slash horror goes a very long way for me. 166 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: So I had to put from two thousand and nine 167 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Zombie Land. I think this one gets it right, but 168 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: more so than Shawna of Dead, maybe because it's American 169 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: and I get the references more. But I just think 170 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: this one is an overall better movie and one that 171 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: I come back to again and again to rewatch, and 172 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: one that I think did not deserve a sequel that 173 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: it got like ten years after this movie came out, 174 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: they decided to come out with a sequel. I watched 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: the sequel, wasn't that impressed with it because the first 176 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,119 Speaker 1: one just has everything self contained and I really didn't 177 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: need to know anything else about the story. So the 178 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: only thing that takes a little bit away from Zombie 179 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: Land is the fact that they made a sequel. Wasn't 180 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: a terrible sequel. It just felt like a little bit like, 181 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: why is this happening now? I think the worst things 182 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: have happened in the actual world and happened in zombie 183 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: Land too. But coming back to Zombie Land, I think 184 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: when I watched this movie, I was kind of able 185 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: for the first time to put myself into a situation 186 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: if I was able to survive a zombie apocalypse, and 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: I think it was kind of seeing Jesse Eisenberg's character 188 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: in the movie being the Seenority kind of neurotic dude 189 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: in a zombie apocalypse that I realized if I had 190 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: to like him, I think I could make it like 191 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: the way he had his rules set first Revival, the 192 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: way everything was very calculated about how he would go 193 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: about killing zombies and also making friends with people the 194 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: whole them only calling each other's by the city's names 195 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: that they're from. A lot of that kind of stuck 196 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: in my head of like, Okay, a zombie apocalypse ever 197 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: breaks out, I'm gonna follow rules just like this movie. 198 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: But not only that, this movie is not just about zombies. 199 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: It's also a really good love story of how, no 200 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: matter what, when you're all alone in the world, you're 201 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: still trying to find love, even though if there's zombies 202 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: all around you trying to kill you, You're still trying 203 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: to find love because we are all humans and nothing 204 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: could take that emotion away from us. So I think 205 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: I took a lot of that away from the movie. 206 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: And then it's also just a great cast with Jesse 207 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: Eisenberg and a Stone Woody Harrelson. I think they're funny 208 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: in it together, and probably the funniest part of the 209 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: entire movie is without a doubt the Bill Murray cameo. 210 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: My favorite scene from the entire movie comes with Bill 211 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Murray when they go to his mansion and it's actually 212 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: Bill Murray there and he's dressed and disguises himself as 213 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: a zombie to essentially camouflage himself so zombies don't recognize 214 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: him and want to kill him, but ultimately it leads 215 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: to his demise. The saddest I've ever been to see 216 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby dying in a movie, but it's hilarious. Not 217 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: a spoiler by the way, that that's a ten year 218 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: in role. This movie came out in two thousand nine, 219 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: so if you haven't seen it yet, and I don't 220 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: think that will take anything away from you wanting to 221 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: watch this movie. If anything, it would encourage you to 222 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: go do so and then maybe watch this equel. But 223 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: before I get into my number one zombie movie, let's 224 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: give out some honorable mentions here. Now, I kind of 225 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: wanted to be cool, Like I wish I could have 226 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: been cool and said that all the George Romero movies 227 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: were my favorite, but to be honest, they're not. Like 228 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: I couldn't really talk about those in the way I 229 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: could have got all these other movies, and while I 230 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: know those paved away for all of these, I can't 231 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: say that George Romero's movies were my favorite. I think 232 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: they have a look to him, they have a whole 233 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: kind of identity in themselves, and I'm not taking away 234 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: from what he did as a director as a filmmaker, 235 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: but those just aren't my favorite. They feel a little 236 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: bit more campy to me, and I know that the 237 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: special effects were kind of they have their own charm, 238 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, the blood, and those movies are a little 239 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: more d I y filmmakers style. So while I respect 240 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: those movies for what they are, they're just not my 241 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: favorite to watch. Another one that almost made my list 242 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: was Trained to boos On, which came out in another 243 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: movie from South Korea. Basically, it's a bunch of zombies 244 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: that get onto a train and the panic and terror 245 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: you can assume that happens with that. I thought it 246 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: was a great premise for a movie overall, really entertaining 247 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: and very kind of high paced. But I think if 248 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: I had to compare it to that and Alive, I 249 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: just liked Alive a little bit more, even though it 250 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: was a little more subtle a little bit more of 251 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: a slow burn. So I just kept that one on 252 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: as an honorable mention, but another really great one that 253 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: probably could have made the top five. I would also 254 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: add in twenty eight Days Later from two thousand two, 255 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: and then kind of in the zombie comedy category, I 256 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: would have put a movie called Life after Beth with 257 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: Aubrey Plaza. It's basically this dude's girlfriend who turns into 258 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: a zombie and then he kind of lives with it. 259 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: So that one's pretty funny. If you haven't seen that 260 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: one and you're kind of into that comedy horror genre, 261 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: I think that's a great one along those same lines 262 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: if you're into a comedy romantic movie, which I bet 263 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: you thought I couldn't really happen. There's a movie called 264 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: Warm Bodies, which was a surprising hit for me. Like 265 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: I was expecting not to like that movie. I thought 266 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: it was gonna be super cheesy, but overall it's a 267 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: pretty good watch. I like Warm Bodies. And then the 268 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: movie that I saw a lot of comments for was 269 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: World War Z with Brad Pitt. I gotta say I 270 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: don't really like that movie. I don't know if it 271 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: was because it was a book adaptation, and it was 272 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: supposed to make a sequel to it that never got made. 273 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: I just really didn't love that movie. It wasn't one 274 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: of my favorites. That one actually didn't really come to 275 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: my mind when I was thinking about my favorite zombie movies. 276 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: But I saw a lot of you guys commenting and 277 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: tweeting about that one, so I will mention it here. 278 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: But again, it's just not one of my favorites. But 279 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: at number one, I'm gonna go with two thousand and 280 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: fours Donn of the Dead, which is actually a George 281 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: Romero re make. And why I wouldn't include the original 282 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: but include the remake, it's because I think this one 283 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: is just a better movie. What I liked about this 284 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: one is it does take that original story, it takes 285 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: that kind of classic zombie movie, but it put it 286 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: into a modern day situation. It put it into a mall, 287 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: and overall, I think this one just has it all. 288 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to rhyme there, but I did. It 289 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: happens at the mall, and it has it all overall. 290 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: I think, out of any zombie movie, has the best 291 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: opening sequence, but not only that, when they play the 292 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: Johnny Cash song when the Man comes around at the 293 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: very beginning of this movie. Like that inspired me not 294 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: only as a guy who watches movies, but as a 295 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: guy who also double in music. Like I learned to 296 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: play that Johnny Cash song because of this movie, and 297 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: I think it was so fitting and maybe one of 298 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: my favorite opening sequence songs in a movie of all time. 299 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: But not only that for a movie that came out 300 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, it actually holds up really well. 301 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: Probably watched it again in the last couple of years, 302 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: and I think it still has everything I look for 303 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: when watching a zombie movie. And if you're somebody who's 304 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: just been kind of wanting to get into watching zombie movies, 305 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: I think this is the one you start with. For me, 306 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: this is kind of my go to. I think it 307 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: just has the best story of all these people kind 308 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: of coming together and trying to survive together, but also 309 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: not being able to trust everybody. And then you have 310 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: all these zombies trying to break into the mall and 311 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: kill everybody turn them into zombies. And not only that, 312 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: but you can actually go see the real mall where 313 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: they filmed this movie. So I had to put that 314 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: one at number one. That's the list of my top 315 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: five favorite zombie movies of all time. And as we're 316 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: talking zombie movies, next, I'll get into my review of 317 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: Army of the Dead from Netflix right after this. All right, 318 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: let's get into one of two movie reviews. Now, let's 319 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: talk about first, Army of the Dead, which is a 320 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: brand new Netflix movie, and it is a zombie heist movie. Yes, 321 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: you're hearing correctly, a zombie heist movie, basically taking two 322 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: of my favorite things and putting them into one movie. 323 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: But before I get into this review, here's just a 324 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: little bit of the trailer. There's two hundred million dollars 325 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: in the vault to produce this trip, with two hour 326 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: window to get it all find to say, this should 327 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: be a simple in and out. It's naturally to go back. 328 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: They're smarter, they're faster, they're organized. So this is not 329 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: your typical zombie movie, which I've been talking about all 330 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: episode long. But the way this movie differs is a 331 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: couple of ways. First of all, it is a zombie 332 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: heist movie, and and again I won't spoil anything, but overall, 333 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: the premise of this movie is basically, the military was 334 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to transport these zombies. They're driving through the desert, 335 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: they crash and one of them gets out and ends 336 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: up going to Las Vegas and basically turning it into 337 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: ground zero of a new zombie outbreak. And they're able 338 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: to keep them all contained into Las Vegas, but the 339 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: plan now is to completely wipe out the city with 340 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: an atomic bomb, almost along the same lines of the 341 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: premise of the Simpsons movie where they put them all 342 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: underneath the dome and they're gonna explode Springfield like that 343 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: is their plan. So these group of people were able 344 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: to escape and they're going on and living their lives, 345 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: and an owner of a casino comes to this guy, 346 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: who was played by Dave Batista and says, hey, I 347 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: will pay you to gather a crew together and go 348 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: and get this money that I have in this safe 349 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: underneath the casino. If you are able to do it 350 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: with however many people you acquire, you will get fifty 351 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: million dollars to split among everybody. And he's working at 352 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: a burger joint and basically he's like, you know what 353 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: this money can change in my life, Let me do this. 354 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: So it's him taking this entire crew going to Las Vegas, 355 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: and trying to bust this money out, and then there's 356 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: also another layer of him trying to mend his relationship 357 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: with his daughter, which you kind of find out why. 358 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: And then the other way it's different is that these 359 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: zombies are a little bit more advanced, like they're able 360 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: to think and organize themselves, at least some of them, 361 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: like some of them have like this higher i Q 362 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: and this more kind of advanced motor skill level. They're 363 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: basically ripped up zombies who can think, who can organize, 364 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: who can basically build a civilization to where they are 365 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: growing and becoming smarter and more advanced and also kind 366 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: of learning to navigate and deal with the human threat 367 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: outside of these walls. So these zombies are faster, smarter, 368 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: and overall just kind of a like a level above 369 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: because they are not only able to bite you and 370 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: turn you into a zombie, but they can also smash 371 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: your face in, kill you, throw you off a building. 372 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: They're very strong, very powerful, so unlike any zombie I've 373 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: really seen before. So I did like that element. And 374 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: also they take it a step further of having zombie animals. 375 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: There's a zombie tiger, there's a zombie whore. So I 376 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: think Zack Snyder went full on like making this a 377 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: lot different, because if you're gonna make a zombie movie, 378 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: it has to be something different. So let's talk about 379 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: the leading man Bautista first. I kind of feel like 380 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: he is the the off brand version of The Rock, 381 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: a little bit like if The Rock is cinnamon toast crunch, 382 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: I think Dave Bautista is like the cinnamon Toasters, like 383 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: the version you get if you can't afford the cinnamon 384 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: toast crunch, which they I compare the two because they 385 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: have similar backgrounds, both coming from wrestling, both doing movies now, 386 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: and I think Dave Bautista isn't nearly on the level 387 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: in no way as The Rock, but they just kind 388 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: of are in that same kind of lane. And I 389 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: think Dave Bautista has kind of sculpted himself out of 390 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: being a bigger actor. You know, He's had some success 391 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but I haven't 392 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: really seen him really shine through as a leading actor. 393 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I'll give him a shot, 394 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: and I feel like he did a pretty good job. 395 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: He was pretty believable. I feel like he shows a 396 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: little bit more of a range in this movie. He 397 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: is able to do like, all right, I'm the big, 398 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: ripped up, strong dude doing the action sequences, but he 399 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: also has a little bit of death to him with 400 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, kind of dealing with the situation with his daughter, 401 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: some of the dramatic things that happened to him in 402 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: this movie. I was like, all right, I'm believing Dave 403 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: Bautista kind of having more of a well rounded skill set. 404 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: So I was good on that front. Along the other cast, 405 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: I thought there were some great picks, Like I loved 406 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: tag Nataro as kind of the witty, sassy, wise cracking 407 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: helicopter pilot. I thought she was a great casting pick 408 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: for this. If we're not familiar with their comedy, I 409 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: think she was probably my favorite thing in this movie. 410 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: I think it needed that kind of comedic element. She 411 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: really brought it there. And aside from that, I just 412 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: felt like this cast was a pretty well represented cast, 413 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Like I think that made it more of an enjoyable movie. 414 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: There's you know, there's Mexican actresses. You have Japanese actors 415 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: in this There's German actors in this movie. I think overall, 416 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: it was just a neclected cast, which I felt made 417 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: it more believable and also more enjoyable, and it also 418 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: kind of led me to the other point of I 419 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: felt like the zombies weren't the main threat in this movie, 420 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: and from the very opening sequence of this movie, I 421 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a lot darker. The opening 422 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: sequence is pretty hardcore and has a bit more of 423 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: a darker tone that I thought the entire movie was 424 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of a good encapsulate, but then later I feel 425 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: like it almost lightens up a bit and a little 426 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: bit the zombie characters lose a bit of their edge, 427 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: like they're not as hardcore as I was expecting throughout 428 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: the entire movie, and at some points I felt like 429 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: they were even just a little bit kind of cheesy, 430 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: Like I felt like they could be defeated a lot 431 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: easier than they were made out to see him in 432 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: the very beginning, like, I never really felt like they 433 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: didn't have it under control as far as the characters 434 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: in the movie trying to fight them. I don't know 435 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: if that was kind of a thing that Zack Snyder 436 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: had in his mind that he was trying to kind 437 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: of make a point there, but I just thought, like, 438 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: why make them so hardcore in the beginning, but then 439 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: they never really get back to that. I did, however, 440 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: love the vaguest backdrop in this entire movie, Like I 441 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: think no one has really done a great zombie movie 442 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: with all of the famous cause you knows, the iconic 443 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: strip Like that was a very good visual aspect of 444 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: this and made it a lot more fun to watch. 445 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: It kind of felt like watching like an Ocean's thirteen 446 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: movie meets like a Zombie Land meets like a Dawn 447 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: of the Dead, Like it's all those movies kind of 448 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: in one. But the other thing that kind of kept 449 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: me a little bit out of this movie was it 450 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: was very long. At almost two and a half hours. 451 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: I felt like at least twenty minutes of this could 452 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: have been chunked out from the middle. It has a 453 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: little bit of a lull there tour. You're like, all right, 454 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: let's get to it. Let's get to some more action, 455 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: let's get to some more killing. Don't really need some 456 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: of this backstory, don't really need this other little side 457 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: plot going on here. And that's also probably a Zack 458 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: Snyder thing of making the movie a little bit too long. 459 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: But overall, I thought it was a really fun movie, 460 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: a pretty violent movie. On the violent scale, I would 461 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: probably go four out of five as far as the 462 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: blood and the intenseness of that. So if you're not 463 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: really comfortable with that, probably not the movie for you. 464 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: But I do think it's a fun movie. It's easily 465 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: accessible because if you had Netflix, you can watch it 466 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: right now. And if I were putting it in my 467 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: top five zombie movies, I would not. I don't think 468 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: it's a top five movie, probably not even a top ten, 469 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: but of the most recent zombie movies, I would say 470 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good ride and a worthy watch. I 471 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: would give it about three out of five byte marks. 472 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: On the other front, it does make me excited that 473 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: Netflix will have more content like this, like really big 474 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: action movies, almost summer blockbusters, just right there on Netflix. 475 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: So that part does make me a little bit more 476 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: excited of what's to come and that they're not afraid 477 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: to kind of get into this space of movie. So 478 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: I think that's another good point. Double movie review on 479 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: this episode. Now, I want to talk about a movie 480 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: called North Hollywood, which follows the life of this high 481 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: school kid. He's about to go to college, but then 482 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: he kind of decides, Hey, I want to become a 483 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: pro skater. It's an indie movie, which, aside from the 484 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: movie itself, I think has a really cool backstory of 485 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: how this movie got made, has an interesting cast, and 486 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: I also kind of had a personal connection with this movie. 487 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: But before I give my review, here's just a little 488 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: bit of the North Hollywood trailer. Don't you have water 489 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: polo practice? Actually just quit? That's kind of focus on 490 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: one thing, you know, And I'm going to be a 491 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: pro skater. Alright, good, move your head. Nothing new. I 492 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: gotta focus on skating. You need structure, trash, what was that? 493 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: What was that? This movie is about. It's a kid 494 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: named Michael and he's in high school living in North Hollywood, California. 495 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: He has dreams of becoming a pro skater, but he 496 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: has a dad who was played by Vince Vaughan, and 497 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: he kind of shuts down these dreams. He's like, you 498 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: gotta go to college, you gotta do all these other 499 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: things you're doing. He's an altar boy at the Catholic 500 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: church that he's been going to since he was a kid. 501 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: He's also on the swim team. So his dad's like, 502 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: all right, you can do all these things, and then 503 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: you can do skating, but school has to come first, 504 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: like you had to start applying for college. You have 505 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: to go out and earn a living wage doing something 506 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: that's a little bit more tangible. And he kind of decided, 507 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a pretty good skater. If I stick 508 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: to skating all the time and I really focus in 509 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: on it, there's nothing keeping me from being a pro skater. 510 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: So that's kind of where this movie takes place in 511 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: his life. He has a crew of made up of 512 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: two other people that he's been skating with since he 513 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: was a kid or just lifelong best friends. And then 514 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: he also has a crush on this girl who he 515 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: knows from church, who was played by Miranda Cosgrove, and 516 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: he's always wanted to ask her out and is now 517 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: at the crossroads if she's about to go to college. 518 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: I've never made a move before. What if I do 519 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: it now? And this movie is just kind of a 520 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: slice of his life right here, right before he goes 521 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: to college, where basically he decides, I'm gonna do it. 522 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go full fledge. I don't care about my 523 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: dad thinks I don't care about going to college. I'm 524 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna make my dreams kind of come true. So I 525 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: really like the main character in this writer McLoughlin, who 526 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: plays Michael in the movie. And this movie is very 527 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: reminiscent of a movie that came out and was directed 528 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: by Jonah Hill called Mid Nineties, almost kind of the 529 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: same plot, and it was actually writer McLoughlin who was 530 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: in that movie Mid Nineties. And it's also the director 531 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: of North Hollywood was a co producer on Mid ninet 532 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: So it almost felt like a sequel in a way 533 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: to that movie, kind of like a side like it 534 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: lived in the same kind of universe as that movie. 535 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: So going into this, I already kind of liked it 536 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: because I was a big fan of Mid Nineties. I 537 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: think this one has a lot more of a modern 538 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: feel to it. It supposedly takes place in today's world, 539 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: but there's some conflicting things for me, Like some of 540 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: them have cell phones, but then at his house he 541 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: has a landline. The look of it has a little 542 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: bit of a nineties field, but I think that's just 543 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: kind of that Hollywood vibe, that California vibe they're going 544 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: with on. As far as wardrobe in the movie, but 545 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: it did feel a lot like mid nineties, And this 546 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: is a movie that was independently made and also almost 547 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: never saw the light of day now. The director and 548 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: writer of this movie is a guy named Mikey Alfred, 549 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a semi autobiographical movie about his life. 550 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: And he was basically told that this movie was too 551 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: personal of a movie and that a wide audience really 552 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't find it relatable really enjoy it because it is 553 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: kind of about his life. But I actually think he 554 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: did a really great job as a director for the 555 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: very first time. Now it does kind of had that 556 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: mid nineties feel. Also reminded me of like Lords of 557 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: Dogtown and a movie called Dope, which if you haven't 558 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: seen as another great one, but you kind of had 559 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: that kind of like coming of age movie surrounded by skateboarding, 560 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: and for me, growing up, I wanted to be a 561 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: pro skater. So I think that's kind of why I 562 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: identified a lot with some parts of this movie, and 563 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: it's mainly with his relationship with his dad, Vince Vaughn 564 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: in the movie, because he's trying to convince him, like, 565 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: you know, I want to do something that's not the 566 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: most traditional career to follow, Like there's really no set 567 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: wage going into me trying to be a pro skater. 568 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: There's also no real telling whether or not I will 569 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: achieve it. And his dad is like, you know what, 570 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: I work in construction, Like you're gonna have to come 571 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: work with me. He's trying to show him how to 572 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: like lay cement and do all those types of things, 573 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: and really doesn't get that kind of intangible career goal, 574 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: which I felt like for me growing up, that was 575 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot like I felt from my parents, like they 576 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: didn't understand what I wanted to skateboard and I wanted 577 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: to play music, or even when I wanted to get 578 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: into like podcasting and radio, like they were like, why 579 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: are you gonna want to do that? Just go to 580 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: college and get a job that you're gonna get like automatically. So, 581 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: I think, aside from the fact about it being a 582 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: skateboarding movie, it's also kind of a representation of what 583 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: that kind of dynamic is between a teenage kid and 584 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: his parents. Him just trying to be an adult and 585 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: trying to find a way that he is happy in 586 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: his life but also make your parents happy. Now, getting 587 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: to the skating element of this, movie I thought was great, 588 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: and what I kind of realized after is all these 589 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: actors can actually skate I think that's another really cool 590 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: part of it is like I was watching it trying 591 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: to figure out, like, are they doing c G I 592 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: to put these in? Do they have stunt doubles? But no, 593 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: it was actually all them skateboarding, which I thought felt 594 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: very authentic, and it really kind of made it seem 595 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: looking back, like they wanted to get all that stuff 596 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: right and make it look as believable as it could be. 597 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: But I also just think it's the cast of this 598 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: movie that will really kind of win you over. From 599 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: writer McLaughlin Blake Anderson from Workaholics, it also makes a 600 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: cameo in it. I think Vince Vaughan was probably my 601 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: favorite in the movie, and then Miranda Cosgrove. I felt 602 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: it was kind of a random casting, like I haven't 603 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: really seen her in much lately. I don't think her 604 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: character added a whole lot to this, Like I kind 605 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: of wanted to see their relationship a little bit more. 606 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: And I also felt like her performance was kind of 607 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: like she was only halfway there, like only giving like 608 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: a half performance throughout the entire movie. So not my favorite, 609 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: but I feel like if this movie would have came 610 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: out when I was a teenager, it would have easily 611 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: been my favorite. But I think it's now just kind 612 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: of a nostalgic watch to have that kind of same 613 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: feeling that I did back then, So I would give 614 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: it three point seven five at a five broken skateboards. 615 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into some movie news now. The 616 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: hocus Pocus sequel has been announced. It's officially coming to 617 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: Disney Plus sometime in two. I feel like this is 618 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: one that's way too late to remake. I feel it's 619 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of a I don't even know if it's a 620 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: cash grab or what they're trying to do. The only 621 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: thing that really makes it interesting to me is they 622 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: do have all the original witches from the movie, which 623 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: is Bette Midler, Sarah, Jessica Parker, and the other one. 624 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: But they're all coming back to make the sequel to 625 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: this movie about twenty nine years after the original. And 626 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the weird thing about hocus Pocus is it wasn't really 627 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: a big hit when it came out. It's kind of 628 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: a cult classic now looking back on you know, Disney 629 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: movies and Halloween movies, but The original movie didn't really 630 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of the box office when it 631 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: came out, just over time of it coming out on 632 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: VHS and probably all of us watching it at school 633 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: around Halloween time is kind of where it's made its 634 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: money back and kind of become more of a Halloween classic. 635 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: I think this one is a little bit forced, but 636 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: I do like the idea of Disney Plus putting original 637 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: movies on the streaming service, and hopefully they won't have 638 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: that kind of thirty dollar premium fee for this one, 639 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: so have that one to look forward to next year. 640 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: Also in movie news, the Rock is going to voice 641 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: a character named Crypto in a movie called DC League 642 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: super Pets, which is basically about the pets of superheroes. 643 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: So it looks like he is playing a character that 644 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: is Superman's dog who pairs up with the Flying Cat 645 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: to save the world while Superman is out on vacation, 646 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: and that's coming out on Mayo. I think that's a 647 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: great premise for a movie. I think it's DC kind 648 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: of trying to step been to the animated space. Like 649 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: Marvel has kind of had success in now they really 650 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: haven't done it so well yet. And if you get 651 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: the Rock on it maybe has a chance to kind 652 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: of be a hit for them, which I think they need. 653 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: But aside from that, I think if I had a 654 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: movie conspiracy theory is that there's more than one Dwayne 655 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: the Rock Johnson, Like how is he able to do 656 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 1: all these movies? He's also working on Black Adam right 657 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: now and just randomly announces all these other projects on 658 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: his Instagram, Like there has to be more than one 659 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: of him. That is my conspiracy theory.
