8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: last installment, so we're going everything from Wyoming to Arizona

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: and then wrapping it up in California, which was probably

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: the hardest ever to come up with, but we're gonna

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: get into all those a lot of great movies to

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into a review of the new

17
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Mulawan movie, which came out on Disney Plus over the weekend,

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: and I will tell you whether or not it was

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: worth the whoppings thirty dollar price tag it was to

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: rent this movie. And then I'll also talk about the

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: biggest blockbuster to come out amid of this pandemic and

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of what I think that is going to me

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: from movies moving forward. And then also an update on

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: the Batman movie. Turns out Robert Pattinson got Corona filming

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: that we'll talk about what that means for that movie

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: moving forward. A lot to get you on this episode.

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here. So without any further ado, let's

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: get started. In a world where everyone and their mother

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the ears

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like a

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: walking on MTV with glasses. From the Nashville Podcast Network

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: is Movie Movie Podcast. And here we go. All right,

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: we made it to the final part of this series

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: trying to find the most famous movie out of every

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: single state. We've done the Northeast, we've done the Midwest,

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: we've done the South, and now it's time for the West.

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Getting right into it this week, starting off with Idaho.

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: And not only is this the most famous movie out

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: of Idaho in my opinion, but all so just one

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies for many reasons. So I want

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of time just to recognize

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: this movie and talk about this movie a little bit,

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: because when it came out, it kind of changed the

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: way I went into movies, and it kind of gave

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: me a feeling of like, oh, this is something I've

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: never seen before, and really kind of defined the first

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: cult classic I would say of my generation, like one

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: that I grew up with, that this is a movie

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: you either loved and got it or you watched it

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and hated it and it was not for you. So

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: you're either on one end of the spectrum when it

53
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: comes to this movie, because it is a polarizing movie

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: and it's a movie that people talk about and know

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: about and would quote relentlessly when this movie came out,

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: But it's also just so kind of its own thing

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: that if you didn't get it when it came out,

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: you never really went back and watched this movie. And

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: the movie I'm talking about, based out of Idaho is

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite, which came out into two thousand four, and

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: I remember seeing the first trailer for this movie and

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: immediately I was like, I gotta see that movie. Like

63
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: there's something about the stylistic approach to the trailer, how

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: it looked, and I just knew that that was a

65
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: movie that I was going to be interested in. And

66
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I remember when that movie came out. It was such

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: a low budget indie movie. I think they made it

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: for like four hundred thousand dollars and it went on

69
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: to make forty four million, which is crazy amount of money.

70
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a really well like promoted movie. There

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: was not a whole lot behind it. But just the

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: overall name of the movie kind of got me interested

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: in it, and just the what it was about what

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I think made so many people kind of gravitate towards

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: this movie. It would be such a cult classic. So

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: when I say that it was a cult classic of

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: my generation, because it's a movie that when it came out,

78
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: you didn't know any of the actors in it. You

79
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: just knew the story of Napoleon Dynamite. And what I

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: loved about this movie is that Napoleon Dynamite in the movie,

81
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: he's a nerd, but he's not the average kind of

82
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: nerd that's portrayed in movies all the time, like he's

83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: not really a smart I it's just the fact that

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: he's so socially awkward and so different, but that he

85
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: almost doesn't get that he's that different because he's in

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: the way that he's so not like anybody else and

87
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: has trouble fitting in. He is essentially so confident in

88
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: himself that he doesn't realize that, like he doesn't see

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: that he's not cool, he doesn't see that people view

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: him differently. He's just this really kind of different kind

91
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: of nerds that I was able to identify with because

92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't really the smartest kid growing up, but I

93
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: was almost not as socially awkward as Napoleon Dynamite, but

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: I had that feeling of like, I'm nerdy in my

95
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: own way and I don't fit in, but also I'm

96
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: not this super genius who's gonna go on to find

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: like curious to every disease in the world. I would

98
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: just socially awkward and nerdy and different and maybe not

99
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: as confident as Napoleon Dynamite. But I kind of identified

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: with him in that way. And the other thing I

101
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: loved about this movie is that it is said in Idaho,

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: and you get that feeling when you watch this movie.

103
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: But other aside from that is you almost don't even

104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: know what time period this takes place in because the

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 1: way the film is shot, it looks kind of indie

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: style and everything from the wardrobe and just the kind

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: of design of this movie, it almost feels like it's

108
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: taking place that like maybe like the seventies or even

109
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: like sixties, that it has like a kind of timeless

110
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: period but also feels like an older movie. And I

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: think that has a little bit to do with the

112
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: fact that set in Idaho, and it's set in the

113
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: actual town where this guy grew up. And so the

114
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: movie was written by a guy named Jared Hess who

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: actually went to college with John Heater, who plays Napoleon Dynamite,

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: and they filmed like this short film in college which

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: ended up turning into Napoleon Dynamite, and they filmed it

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: all in Idaho, in his hometown. You can actually go

119
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: to this town of Preston and Franklin, Idaho, where they

120
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: filmed a lot of this movie, and you can go

121
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: see these locations. And it's a movie that stood the

122
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: test of time, and they even had like a rebooted

123
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: animated series. And it's just one from my childhood that

124
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: just kind of like a stable that I can go

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: back and watch in a movie that eventually someday when

126
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I have kids, I'm gonna show him this movie and

127
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: be like, look, this movie is so great and they

128
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: won't get it and it'll be amazing. So most famous

129
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: movie out of Idaho, we're going with Napoleon Dynamite, all right.

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: Moving on now to Montana, which I had to search

131
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: out your tweets on Twitter to kind of get some

132
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: ideas for this one, because I had one in mind,

133
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: but I wanted kind of an idea of people who

134
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: actually lived in Montana to get a better feel for

135
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: what you think is the most famous one, because are

136
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot of movies based in Montana, but I

137
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: think the main one you guys said where a river

138
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: runs through it and Big Eden all based in Montana.

139
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: And then another good one with Mark Wahlberg was Shooter,

140
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: which was a movie I wasn't expecting to like, but

141
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: endy up really enjoying when that one came out. But

142
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the one I'm going with here is a Rival with

143
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, which, if you don't remember,

144
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: this movie from a came out a few years ago

145
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: back in and I feel like this is another one

146
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: of those movies whether you loved it or hated it.

147
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: So it's about these gigantic alien spaceships that come down

148
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: and it comes down to a field in Montana and

149
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: they're all just stationed there and Amy Adams is the

150
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: one translating the messages that they are sending down to

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: Earth and it's a really interesting movie. What I liked

152
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: about this one, While it's a sci fi alien movie,

153
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: I feel it's also a little bit realistic, Like I

154
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: could see this actually happening in like today's world, Like

155
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: a spaceship comes down and it's not just aliens coming

156
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: in guns a blazing. They're actually trying to like communicate

157
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: with us and say something to us. It's not a

158
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: bizarre like Independence Day type movie, and it's a little

159
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: more in depth. There's a little more to this one

160
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: than an average sci fi movie, and I really ended

161
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: up liking it. I feel like Amy Adams is a

162
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: really underrated actress and all the great movie she's been in,

163
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that she's never won an Oscar

164
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: and this movie in particular just has some more heavy

165
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: concepts behind it that I felt she should have won one.

166
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: For this movie. I thought it was great based in Montana,

167
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot of great cinematography, kind of showing that in

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: this movie, so famous movie out of Montana, going with

169
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: a rival. Moving on now to Wyoming, and there's one

170
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: clear cut winner here that you're gonna know it as

171
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: soon as I say it. But I'll give a few

172
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: honorable mentions. First close Encounters of the third kind. You

173
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: got the movie Flicker, which I know mainly because Tim

174
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: McGraw is in it. And then you also have a

175
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino movie called The Hateful Light, which I don't

176
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: think it is one of his best movies, wasn't one

177
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: of my favorites, but it does take place in Wyoming.

178
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: But easily the most famous movie out of Wyoming. We

179
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: all know it, whether you've seen it or not. You

180
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: know what it's about, and it's Brokeback Mountain. Came out

181
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: back in two thousand six, was nominated for Best Picture,

182
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: didn't win it. But you got Jake Jillen Hall, you

183
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: got Heat Ledger, you got two cowboys in Wyoming. And

184
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: not only was it such a big movie when it

185
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: came out and kind of changed a lot of pop culture,

186
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: Like it was just such an impactful movie because of

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: what was in it, and what it was about that

188
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: it's one of the most famous movies from the easily

189
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: the most famous here. So let's go with Broke Back Mountain.

190
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: Need I say more? All right, Let's move out now

191
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: to Nevada. So when I think Nevada, I think in

192
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I remember seeing it in so many movies

193
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: growing up as a kid and thinking like, someday I

194
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: want to go there and experience Las Vegas. So I

195
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: have to go to Las Vegas to find the most

196
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: famous movie out of Nevada. I think there are a

197
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: few options here we can work with. So the three

198
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking of are Casino, which was in Martin

199
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: Scorsese movie You got Robert de Niro, you got Joe

200
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: Pesci But I don't feel like that was Martin Scorsese's

201
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: like most famous movie. I mean, it's up there and

202
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: it's a great movie, but it came out back in

203
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know that it would still be a

204
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: big movie and most remembered movie now. And although this

205
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: is a really great one to represent Las Vegas, I'm

206
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: not landing on this one. And then the other one

207
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: that came to mind was Spear and Loathing in Las Vegas,

208
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: which is such a trippy movie and one you really

209
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: got to sit down in dissect. I just loved how

210
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: kind of satirical and just funny and weird this movie was.

211
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: You've got Johnny Depp and Venicio del Toro and just

212
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: so many kind of iconic images in this one that

213
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: you've probably seen the movie poster for this without even

214
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: realizing it. And you have Johnny Depp in that kind

215
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of classic costume with the sunglasses and the hat. There's

216
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: just a lot to love about this movie. But I

217
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: couldn't really put it as the most famous movie out

218
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: of Las Vegas or Nevada. But the one I have

219
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: to go with is the one that made me want

220
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: to go to Las Vegas for my twenty one birthday,

221
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: and that movie is The Hangover. I just think it's

222
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: the most quintessential Las Vegas movie because you have everything

223
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: in it, from all the casinos of the strip, even

224
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: when they drive out a little bit more towards the desert.

225
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: It's just all in this movie. And and this movie

226
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand nine and really just changed

227
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: the way comedies were made after this, because I think

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: everybody tried to find and make their own version of

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: The Hangover, which you have a group of friends all

230
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: going out and partying and doing ridiculous things. And I

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: think every of comedy that came out after that was

232
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: trying to be The Hangover but in a different setting.

233
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: And that's really how you make a staple movie to

234
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: where the formula works so well, everybody else kind of

235
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: tries to replicate it. But yeah, this was like the

236
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: main reason I wanted to go to Las Vegas for

237
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: my twenty one birthday. So the movie came out in

238
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: O nine, I turned in and we drove from Texas

239
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: all the way to Las Vegas, and I felt a

240
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: little bit more like I was familiar with it because

241
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: of what I had seen in the movie, like Seeson's palace,

242
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: like the wedding chapels, like all that stuff inside the movie.

243
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: I kind of gravitated and remembered that stuff and made

244
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: it a point to go kind of see some of

245
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: that stuff, which I know it's just the most famous

246
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: things on the strip and the most famous things from

247
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, but it was that movie that really kind

248
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: of gave it that appeal to me. And recently on

249
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the morning show I worked for the Bobby Bones Show,

250
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: we were talking about weird smells that you love, and

251
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: mine just happened to be like that lingering smell of

252
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: smoke in the Las Vegas casino. There's something about when

253
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: I went that very first time, and it's that smell

254
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: of like cigarette, but also how they like, I don't know,

255
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: they put something in the air to kind of take

256
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the smell away, but it just creates like this smell

257
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: when you walk out into a casino that it kind

258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: of takes you and like puts you in that place.

259
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Because anytime I go back there and I smell that

260
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: smell again, it just kind of hits me and reminds

261
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: me to my twenty one birthday and kind of brings

262
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: back some good memory. So that will always be my

263
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: favorite weird smell. It's all because of this movie. It's

264
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: all because of The Hangover, so we're putting it as

265
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: the most famous movie out of Las Vegas and Nevada.

266
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: Going with The Hangover, all right, let's go over now

267
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: to Utah, which a movie from my childhood. Not a

268
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: whole lot of people saw, but I had to give

269
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: an honorable mention to this. One was called SLC Punk,

270
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: which was all about these group of punk rockers living

271
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, Utah. And it was a movie

272
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: that was kind of a staple in my teenage years

273
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: because I love punk rock music growing up and it

274
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: was such a music genre for just kind of outcast

275
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: and it was very little represented in any kind of

276
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: like pop culture thing at that time, and this was

277
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of the bible movie for punk rockers. It was

278
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: either SLC Punk or a slightly more obscure movie called Suburbia,

279
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: but this was the one I just watched over and

280
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: over again because it was like, oh, there's like people

281
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: that dress like I do sometimes, and the music in

282
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: it and the story behind it, and it was so

283
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: much about being a misfit living in a place that

284
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: you were kind of like that so differently for being

285
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: a punk rocker, which this takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah,

286
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: but being a punk rocker there was a strange concept.

287
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: I felt the same way it was when I was

288
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: growing up and walks at the Texas and I would

289
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: have spiked or colored hair and looked at like a

290
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: total weirdo. So I identified a lot with that movie. Again,

291
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the most famous. I don't think

292
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people have seen it, but it

293
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: is Matthew Lillard, who's been a bunch of other movies,

294
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: and it was a movie I courted a lot as

295
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: a kid and just really loved. But I have to

296
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: mention that when because it was such a big part

297
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: of my life growing up. A more recent one was

298
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: the Netflix movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Viole. I

299
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: think I got that title right so long, but it's

300
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: the Ted Bundy movie with Zac Efron portraying Ted Bundy.

301
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: And I was oddly excited for this movie because I

302
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: love the Conversations with the Killer that came out before that,

303
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: which was the whole documentary series on Ted Bundy which

304
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: he was incarcerated in Utah, and I guess I just

305
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: wanted to see how his story was going to play

306
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: out into a movie. And I was oddly disappointed in it,

307
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: just because I don't I don't know. The acting wasn't

308
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: that great, the story was a lot better told with

309
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: like actual news footage and just you know, the audio

310
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of him. I just didn't think it really transferred over

311
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: into a movie. I think they were kind of just

312
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: kind of milked that a little bit. And it's also

313
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: weird to be so fascinated with his story and like

314
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: be entertained by it because he was such a bad,

315
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: awful dude, and to watch a movie and even if

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: it was really great to be we're just it that

317
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I love that movie because it really happened. So if

318
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: you haven't seen that movie, I don't really recommend it.

319
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: It's not worth watching. Doesn't really hold up to the

320
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: actual documentary series, which if you're going to get into that,

321
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: that's probably a better thing to watch. But the movie

322
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm going with here is A hundred and twenty seven

323
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Hours with James Franco. And what I liked about this

324
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: style of movie it's, you know, it takes place in Utah.

325
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: It's this guy who's out hiking by himself in this

326
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: crazy canyon and he gets stuck in has to chop

327
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: his arm off to escape. And it was a movie

328
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: that you're really waiting for one scene the entire time,

329
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: which is an interesting movie to where you know what's

330
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: going to happen going into it, and the whole time

331
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of waiting for that one little moment, and

332
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: that's really what the whole movie is, you know, surrounded

333
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: around that particular event and when it happens, this movie

334
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: actually pays off a lot and it's crazy to see.

335
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's also based on our true story. With adds

336
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of a higher element to this movie.

337
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: And it's a movie like when you say the title

338
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: of it, you automatically know what it's about, like, oh,

339
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: that's the movie where the guy cut his arm off,

340
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: And that's really all you have to know going into

341
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: that movie. And it was one that was really fun

342
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: to watch in theaters with other people because what he

343
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: is actually going through the process of it. You get

344
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: to hear other people's reactions and it's pretty gruesome, like

345
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: it goes in I thought James Frinko was really great.

346
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: And it takes place in Utah, so we're putting it

347
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: as the most famous movie based in Utah. One twenty

348
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: seven hours. All right, we'll do one more state before

349
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: we take a break here, and we're going over to Colorado.

350
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Love Colorado, So let's see what could be the best

351
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: movie I had a Colorado. You have things like Misery,

352
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Black Klansman. Then you have an animated movie here, south Park, Bigger, Longer,

353
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: and Uncut. I was such a south Park fan growing

354
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: up whether it be the TV show that I would

355
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: only watch, I think, very rarely on any kind of

356
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: occasion because I didn't have satellite. But occasionally I had

357
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: a friend in my trailer park who had a satellite dish,

358
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: which was a big deal at a time, and we

359
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: would go were there sometimes and watch maybe like two

360
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: minutes of South Park before we're like, oh, no, we

361
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: gotta we can't watch that because although the cursing in it.

362
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: But I remember when this movie came out, it was

363
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: huge for an animated movie, and it's when I even

364
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: go back now and watch just when I want to

365
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: watch something really funny and laugh at. And then, of

366
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: every movie that the creators, Tray Parker and Matt Stone

367
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: have done, easily the best one easily my favorite, and

368
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: their notorious for being from Colorado and and known for

369
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: putting either fictional towns or real sadies from Colorado in

370
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: their movies and TV shows. So that's a really good one.

371
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: You also have Dumb and Dumber, which doesn't start out

372
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: in Colorado, but the whole point of that movie is

373
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: them taking a road trip to get this briefcase back

374
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: to Mary Swanson, who lives they believe in Aspen, Colorado,

375
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: so they end up spending a majority of the movie

376
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: finally there, and that's a really famous movie that you

377
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: would know that part of Colorado four. But the one

378
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: I have to go with here is one where the

379
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: set is entirely in Colorado. It's an iconic location, it's

380
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: an iconic movie with a great actor, and it's The

381
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: Shining with Jack Nicholson. So in the movie, it's called

382
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: The Overlook Hotel, which it's actually based on the Stephen

383
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: King book The Shining, and they actually filmed it at

384
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: the hotel it was inspired for, called the Stanley Hotel,

385
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: which is in Colorado. And man, this movie scared me

386
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: a lot as a kid. You got Jack Nicholson in

387
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: a crazy performance. And the other cool thing about this

388
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: movie is going back and watching some of the behind

389
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: the scenes footage where Jack Nicholson is having to put

390
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: himself into that character, like he had to like psych

391
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: himself up and almost go crazy and like be deranged

392
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: to get into that character in this movie. And it's

393
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: kind of cool to see these scenes where it's such

394
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: a great actor who takes the role so seriously to

395
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: where they kind of stay in that role on set

396
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: and you see some behind the scenes footage where it's

397
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: like him trying to like stay in that evil tone,

398
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: and I bet that's just a tough thing to do.

399
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: And you know, you have everything from the Red Rum,

400
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: but here's Johnny him running around with the knacks. There's

401
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: so many great iconic moments in this movie, and it

402
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: all revolves around the setting of it being in this

403
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: hotel that's in Colorado. So we're going most famous movie

404
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: out of Colorado, the Shining All right, gonna take a

405
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: quick break here and come back and do the rest

406
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: of the West end close up this four part of series.

407
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: All right back here with the rest of the West

408
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: and starting off with Arizona. And I was going through

409
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Twitter responses because man, there are a lot of movies

410
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: out of Arizona, and the ones that are kind of

411
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: famous are really old school like Western movies. And going

412
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: through some of these, I found three ten to Yuma,

413
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: also the movie Tombstone. But the one I found is

414
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: being the most famous out of Arizona just happens to

415
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: have the name of the state in the movie. We're

416
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: going with raising Arizona here. I feel pretty good about

417
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: that pick. I really like Arizona too, it's a bit

418
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: of a bomber that there are more famous movies that

419
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: of Arizona. I was talking earlier about the road trip

420
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: I took from Texas to Las Vegas for my twenty

421
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: one birthday, and of stop I remember going on was

422
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: we stopped in Phoenix, Arizona for gas and I was like, man,

423
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: this is a really cool city. And I remember getting

424
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: to go back there and just being like, I have

425
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: kind of feeling that I would I could see myself

426
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: living in Arizona. I liked Phoenix a lot, So somebody

427
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: make a great movie based out of Phoenix, please, all right?

428
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Going over now to New Mexico, have some honorable mentions

429
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: here with the Good, the Bad, and the ugly. You

430
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: got natural Born Killers and then Little Miss Sunshine, which

431
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: takes place with them starting out living in New Mexico,

432
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: and the whole thing is kind of a road trip movie,

433
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: but a lot of it. It's kind of based in

434
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: New Mexico to start, but I don't think it shows

435
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot about it aside from the family being

436
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: from there. So the movie I'm going with is a

437
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: Marvel movie. And maybe you don't remember this, but in

438
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Thor where he lands in the United States. It's in

439
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: New Mexico, and he finds Natalie Portman, who is a

440
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: researcher in New Mexico, and he has to find his

441
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: way back to Ascard. And I would say the First

442
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: Door movie is one of the most underrated Marvel movies

443
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: as far as the main Avengers getting their own solo movies.

444
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: I think it was just the time it came out.

445
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: It was still early on and kind of the m

446
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: c U development, and a lot of times people gravitate

447
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: towards you know, the Iron Man's and the Captain America's,

448
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: but this first one was super solid, Like there were

449
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: so many great things about that movie, and I think

450
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: it's one of the first ones that had kind of

451
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: like a little more comedy that was a little more

452
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: like like to my liking, Like so much of Iron

453
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: Man's humor was based on you know, Robert Downey Jr.

454
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: Is almost like real life persona. But I like the

455
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: character of Store and him being so kind of ridiculous

456
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: and fun at the same time. Now, the second thor

457
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: wasn't as great, and they really kind of came back

458
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: with Ragnarok, But this first one I think was my

459
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: favorite for a long time. I think it's one that

460
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: I would like consider going back and watching a little

461
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: more even than Ragnarok. But out of all the movies

462
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: based in New Mexico, I feel pretty comfortable saying that

463
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: Thor is the most famous movie and the best one

464
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: going over now to Alaska, and I feel there's one

465
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: movie that is the quick essential Alaska movie, and it's

466
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Into the Wild, which is a great movie and it's

467
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: also a really sad movie. If you haven't seen the movie,

468
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: it's a movie starring Emil Hirsh and it's about him.

469
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: He's a really successful student. He graduates, he's a great athlete,

470
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: but instead of going on to have like this really

471
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, prestigious career, he decides to give everything up,

472
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: like gets rid of all of them's, his possessions, gives

473
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: his savings to charity, and just sets out on this

474
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: journey to Alaska. And it's a movie based on a

475
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: real book, based on a real story, And his story

476
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: was made famous because of the book and because of

477
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: this movie so much so that people would go and

478
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: visit the bus from the story in the movie in

479
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: the actual Alaskan wilderness. And actually this year they had

480
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: to remove it because that kind of stretch of terrain

481
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: was so dangerous for people to go out there that

482
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: they were like, this is a problem. We got to

483
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: move this thing for people to stop coming out there

484
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: just to see this bus because it's dangerous. So the

485
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: actual bus was removed and airlifted back in June. So

486
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: this is a really recent development in this one. But

487
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: this was a really great movie. And when it came out,

488
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: I remember I was so into like transcendentalism, which is

489
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: just about like connecting with nature, and I was like

490
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: reading a bunch of stuff like from these kind of

491
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: poets and getting real weird into this. So when this

492
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: movie came out, I kind of hit me in a

493
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: different way of like the idea of getting rid of

494
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: all your possessions and you know, going out and connecting

495
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: with nature, which maybe even something early on in me

496
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: kind of got that idea to me, Like even now,

497
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't like having possessions, I don't like having things.

498
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I could ever do what this guy

499
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: did when she just abandoned everything and style everything away

500
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: and go like live in nature and go and travel.

501
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: But something about seeing this and you know, knowing about

502
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: his story kind of connected with me so easily. I'll

503
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: give no other contender to put this as the most

504
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: famous movie out of Alaska, uh based in Alaska, going

505
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: with Into the Wild. Moving over now to Washington, which

506
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: I feel like there are two movies here that it

507
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: comes down to. You got Sleepless in Seattle with Tom Hanks,

508
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: which is even arguably one of Tom Hanks's best movies,

509
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: at least the ones from the nineties. Got a lot

510
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: of Seattle in that one. You know, when I think

511
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: of Seattle, I kind of think of the nature aspect

512
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: to it. I think of all the kind of the wildlife,

513
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: and and even though from people I know that lived

514
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: there and say it's not as rainy and dreary as

515
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: people make it out to be, you kind of still

516
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: associate that with being Washington, with being Seattle. And when

517
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: it comes to big movies out of there and franchises

518
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: out of there, you gotta go with Twilight. Now. I

519
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: really like the first Twilight. I saw it in theaters

520
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: back when it came out in two thousand and eight.

521
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: And when you watch this movie, you don't only get

522
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: the emo vampires, you also get a lot of Washington.

523
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: And they made all the sequels based off the books.

524
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: These movies were huge at the time. You ask anybody

525
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: on the street who's in Twilight, and they can probably

526
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: tell you Robert Pattinson at least and Kristin Stewart. So

527
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: I feel it's pretty easy to say the most famous

528
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: movies to come out of Washington all the Twilight movies.

529
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: All right. Going over now to Oregon, I feel there's

530
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: another clear cut winner here, so I'm just going with it,

531
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: and it's a movie called stand By Me. Also another

532
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: really great moving movie, but also a sad movie. And

533
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: it's something about this style of a movie that I

534
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: think people find nostalgic because they don't really make movies

535
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: like this anymore, like movies with a great set of

536
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: kids who have a kind of chemistry together in a

537
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: bond together, to where even though it's just I'm kind

538
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: of hanging out and it's a coming of age movie,

539
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: there's something that just really makes you remember this. You know,

540
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: it's these four Oregon boys. You know, they find out

541
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: that the stranger has been killed near them, and they

542
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: go to see the dead body. And I just love

543
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: the journey of this movie. I love the story about it.

544
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: You got the great cast, just some iconic moments. You

545
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of Oregon in the two and again

546
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: you got a story written by Stephen King here also

547
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: directed by Rob Briner. So most famous movie out of Oregon.

548
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna put stand by Me all right, two states

549
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: left in the West and the entire series here. So

550
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: let's waste no time and go over to Hawaii, and

551
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put one of my favorite Disney movies. If

552
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: not my favorite, it's really close to being my favorite.

553
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: And it's lil and Stitch. And again, we're looking for

554
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: a movie that kind of encompasses the state, and there

555
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: aren't a whole lot of movies about Hawaii. For me,

556
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: it was either Lelo and Stitch or Johnny Tsunami, both

557
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: great movies. But it's something about the story of Lilo

558
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: and Stitch that has made it one of my favorite

559
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: Disney movies. So you have Stitch who comes from an

560
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: experiment gone wrong and he ends up traveling all the

561
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: way from a distant planet to a small little piece

562
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: of land that ends up being Hawaii when he lands there,

563
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: and he's this little alien creature who iranic lands on

564
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: an island surrounded by water when it's really a water

565
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that will kill him. So he's

566
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: trying to fit in in this place and avoid being

567
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: captured and sent back to where he came from. And

568
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: it's that feeling of him being alienated, no pun intended,

569
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: but trying to fit in and be a part of

570
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: this family because he comes from nowhere. He feels like

571
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: he's lost and has nobody really to go home too,

572
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: because he was just created as an experiment. But in

573
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: that he finds a family, he finds Lil and he

574
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: is able to reprogram himself from being just this thing

575
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: created to destroy and to kill and to be a

576
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: detriment to society to actually being a lovable member of

577
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: a family. And there's even though this movie is animated,

578
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: I feel like the landscape of Hawaii is shown in

579
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: this movie, from the surfing to the island, to even

580
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: the people in this movie, because they are shown as

581
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: being actual people who look like people you would see

582
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: living in Hawaii. So it's everything from the Hawaiian kind

583
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: of soundtrack to this with you know, mixed in with

584
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: the Elvis songs, and just the fact that it's not

585
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: a completely computer animated Disney movie, which I just kind

586
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: of love the two D feel of this a little

587
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: more than kind of the newer style of Disney movies.

588
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: And then I got to go to Hawaii pretty recently

589
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: for the first time ever in my life. I've never

590
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: thought I'd get to go. And we actually stayed on

591
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: a Disney resort there and there was a Stitch statue

592
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: out there and I like took a picture with it.

593
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: I did my Dome Stitch impression that I do all

594
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: the time, and I loved it so much that when

595
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I got back, I've watched this movie again just to

596
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: take me back to there, and it always does. Like

597
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: I watched this movie, it makes me think of that time.

598
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: It makes me happy, it makes me feel good. And

599
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: there's just one scene in particular that gets me every

600
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: single time. It's when Stitch gets captured and they're trying

601
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: to get him to put him on this spaceship and

602
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: he's like, Hey, I just want to say goodbye to

603
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: my family, And man, that scene gets me every single time.

604
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: If I need a good cry, I'll go watch that

605
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: scene on YouTube. Can still so goodbye? Yes, this is

606
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: my family. I found it on my own. That's little

607
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still crooding. Yeah, let's

608
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: go most famous movie out of Hawaii, Leelo and Stitch.

609
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: All Right, we've made it to the final state of

610
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: this entire series, and we saved the biggest state for last.

611
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: I would say for movies, and it's California. And there

612
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: are so many movies based in California, even just Los

613
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: Angeles alone, and rightfully so, because Hollywood is a scene

614
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: entirely of its own, and Los Angeles is just a

615
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: like an essential backdrop for any great movie, like for

616
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: so many kind of big screen blockbusters. You need a

617
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: city that has a personality of its own, and that

618
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: city is Los Angeles, I would say, even more so

619
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: than New York, because it's a little more versatile when

620
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: it comes to what you can and do in a

621
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: movie with all the space there is in California, where

622
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: New York you think just pretty much confined to downtown

623
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: in the city of New York. But when it comes

624
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: to l A, it's spread out, you have beaches, you

625
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: have other scenery, even just surrounding cities. There's just so

626
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: much California that it was hard to make this list.

627
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Like I have like ten movies that could easily be

628
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 1: the most famous movie out of California, because you just

629
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: think of a movie and it's probably set or it

630
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: has some scene in California. One of the most recent

631
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: movies to come out that I really loved and it

632
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: was Once upon a Time in Hollywood. And what I

633
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: loved about that one is it showed kind of Hollywood

634
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: back in the day and had like this really kind

635
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: of old school feel, and it also just showed a

636
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: lot of l A and how it looked at that time.

637
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: A really great Quentin Tarantino movie that I feel could

638
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: easily go in this spot, but I don't think it's

639
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: the most famous. I mean, there's also comedies like Anchorman

640
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: and even things like Clueless, which Clueless is just an

641
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: iconic nineties movie and just so like California, that kind

642
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: of scene an era of that time, that that could

643
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: easily go here. Even movies like Five Days of Summer,

644
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Top Gun erin Brockovitch, The Pursuit of Happiness, Boys in

645
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: the Hood, Ladybird, Pretty Woman. There's just so many movies

646
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: that I tried to get it down to maybe two,

647
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the overall scope of you know,

648
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: what l A and what California is, and also just

649
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: how big of a global scale it is. And what

650
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: I also kind of tried to dive into was like,

651
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: what are the most iconic locations covered in a movie

652
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: that you could be like, Okay, I'm gonna go to

653
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: l A. And I want to see where this scene

654
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: took place. So when a global scale, I think the

655
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: most famous movies to come out of Los Angeles and

656
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: be based in California, where the Fast and Furious movies.

657
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: There's just so many of those, and that's an action

658
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: movie and everybody knows those movies and would associate Los

659
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Angeles with that. But then you also have a movie

660
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: like Pulp Fiction, which shows a lot of different parts

661
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: around l A. And when that movie came out, it

662
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: was up there with the Best Picture nominees. Again Quentin

663
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Tarantino here, I think that's his best movie, and it

664
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: shows a lot of California. But the movie I'm Gonna

665
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: go with I just had to kind of go with

666
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: one that I had a personal connection to, and like

667
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: I said, it was a movie that made me want

668
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: to go and visit something that it was showcased in

669
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: the movie. And I'm going with La La Land. Now.

670
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: Right away, this movie starts with the most famous thing

671
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: about l A, which is the traffic. It all starts

672
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: taking place on a highway that's shut down because traffic

673
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: is so bad and turns into a musical right off

674
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: the bat. And I didn't think I was gonna like

675
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: musicals going into this movie, but even after that first scene,

676
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm all into this one. But easily what

677
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: the most famous scene of this movie is where they're

678
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: dancing and they go out to the Griffith Observatory and

679
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: it's Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, and just those shots of

680
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: that made me want to go and visit that location.

681
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: And just the story inside of this movie, how you

682
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: know she's trying to pursue her career. She lives in

683
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: a house with all these other people who are living

684
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: very l A lives, and it's a very artsy, kind

685
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: of Hollywood type movie. And I think that's why it

686
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: would did so well with critics, because it was a

687
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: very kind of industry movie, which is all about what

688
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: l A is about. So I don't think there's a

689
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: bad pick for the most famous movie out of California.

690
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: There's just so many movies, and I know there's other

691
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: movies where the Griffith Observatory has been featured in, but

692
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: this is I feel the most iconic and the most

693
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: memorable to me, and also the most famous movie that

694
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: it is showcased in, So the most famous movie out

695
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: of California. I'm saying it here, La La Land and

696
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: that's it, everybody. That's the entire series. We did it.

697
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: We did all fifty states of the United States. If

698
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: you've listened to all four parts of this series and

699
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: made it to this point, I just want to say

700
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: a big thank you. If you send in your picks

701
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: or just followed along, that means a lot to me.

702
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: This was a really fun series for me to dive

703
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: into and when I was just excited to do every

704
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: week because it's just a fun way to research these

705
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: movies and kind of think about how they're all get

706
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: defined and just also thinking of what states need to

707
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: get represented a little bit better. So I really hope

708
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. If you want to go back to

709
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: listen to any of the other part you missed, just

710
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: go back for the last three episodes and check them out.

711
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it now. I watched Mulan

712
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I've been waiting for this one for

713
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: a while, mainly because it's the biggest movie to come

714
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: on demand when I was supposed to be out in

715
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: theaters a few months ago, and now they're like, Okay,

716
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: we'll let you have it where we're gonna charge you

717
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: thirty bucks on top of the money you already pay

718
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: for Disney Plus. So I have some thoughts on that

719
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: that I've kind of gathered together, and then I want

720
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: to talk about the movie overall and how it compared

721
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: to the original. But before I get into all of that,

722
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the new Mulan. Every

723
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: family must trip your fight. If I am blessed with

724
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: two daughters, I was like, this time it will not

725
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: return loyal face, all right, So let's get into the

726
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: key differences first. So basically, what Disney has been doing

727
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: with these remakes is taking all the movies everybody knows

728
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 1: and loves and adapting them into live action movies. And

729
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: the difference with Mulan is what made that one so

730
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: great and memorable was that it was cartoony depicting war,

731
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: but it brought humor out in it, and it also

732
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: had these songs that paired together felt like a Disney movie,

733
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: even though it was depicting something a little more serious.

734
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: I think when you add humor and songs into that,

735
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: it made it feel like a kid's movie. It made

736
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: it feel like a Disney movie. And I think that's

737
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: why people love that movie so much. Mulan has just

738
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: never been one of my favorite Disney movies going into this,

739
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: and unlike the other Disney remakes, they decided not to

740
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: do any of the original songs in this, so you're

741
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: not gonna see anybody bursting into any kind of song

742
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: that you know and love from the original movie. And

743
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: on top of that, you won't even see Eddie Murphy's

744
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: character Moosho, who was the dragon in that one. That

745
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: character is completely taken out of this movie. But aside

746
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: from that, it goes pretty close along to what the

747
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: original movie was about. It just gets a little more

748
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: into the fighting and it's a lot more serious. It

749
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: has kind of a serious tone. The way I kind

750
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: of felt watching this it was almost like Game of

751
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: Thrones for kids, where the war was like depicted in

752
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: a kind of dark way, not so dark that it

753
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: was scary, but it kind of had that feel. I

754
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: don't think any kids watching it would be afraid at

755
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: any point. But it's not your typical Disney movie. It's

756
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: not your typical remake because when they are depicting and

757
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: showing war, you don't have that cartoony feel. You don't

758
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: have those songs, and it feels kind of like a

759
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: Disney war movie. And the other thing when I was

760
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: watching this, I felt it's stuck pretty close along to

761
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: the storyline that it wasn't the original, But visually this

762
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: movie it was pretty stunning, Like I felt like that

763
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: was worth it. And the weird thing about it is

764
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: that you knew watching this movie that it was meant

765
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: for the big screen because all the scenes are so vibrant,

766
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: the shots are really amazing, and they filmed this movie

767
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: in parts of China and New Zealand, and you can

768
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: tell this movie was made for the big screen. So

769
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: watching it in my living room felt like a little

770
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: bit of a disservice to this Disney movie because it

771
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: needed to have that big screen to take it in

772
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more. All of the like scenery in

773
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: the landscape. I felt like it was done so well,

774
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: and that's kind of the angle they were going for,

775
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: since they weren't able to show everything through animation. They

776
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: went really vibrant on the set design to costume design

777
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: and kind of giving it that feel of a real

778
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: live action Disney movie. And what I actually liked about

779
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: this one, it's unlike the other Disney remix, I felt

780
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: like this story gave itself a little more to a

781
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: live action remake, because when it's showing war and showing

782
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: these battle and fight scenes, I feel like that transfers

783
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot more than it is for like The Lion

784
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: King and even Aladdin. I felt because it wasn't so cartoony,

785
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: it kind of became a movie of its own. But

786
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: the bad part about that is I think it takes

787
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: away what people loved about the original Mulan. That's kind

788
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: of stripped away. I could watch this movie and not

789
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: know the story of Mulan and not even think of

790
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: this as a Disney movie. So I think it doesn't

791
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: quite have that same charm, and it could almost run

792
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: and not even be called Mulan at all, because it

793
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: is so focused on the fighting in the war, and

794
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: there's no really comic relief aside from a few scenes,

795
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: and it's not even just overall that funny or humorous.

796
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: It's almost its own movie, So I think if those

797
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: were the things you loved about the original, it may

798
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: be hard to adapt to this version. So I did

799
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: in enjoyed the movie. If I saw it in movie theaters,

800
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Oh, it's great, a solid Disney movie.

801
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: Probably rank it even a little higher than some of

802
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: the other remakes because I think I like aspects of

803
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: it more than I did of the original. But here's

804
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: the thing. It's on Disney plus the service that if

805
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: you have it, you're already paying a set amount each month,

806
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: and then on top of that, you had to pay

807
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: thirty bucks just to rent this movie, and they did

808
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: make it a little bit confusing. I had to like

809
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: go through my email to actually click a link to

810
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: buy it before I could actually click it on my TV.

811
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: I think they do that because they're worried that kids

812
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: would just go on there and click it and pay

813
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: thirty bucks. And I think that stops that. But I

814
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: think people were a little split on, you know, that

815
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: feeling of knowing that you're already paying for a service

816
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: and having to pay something on top. I didn't feel

817
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: so bad about it because I think I pay for

818
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: things like Netflix and Hulu and if I'm gonna pay

819
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: for a video on demand movie, I'm gonna have to

820
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: pay on top of that either way. It just so

821
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: happens that Disney has their own streaming service, so they're

822
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: just gonna push it out on their service. So really,

823
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: if you wanted to watch anything of this caliber, you

824
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: would have to pay for it in some capacity. You'd

825
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: have to pay a little bit more. So I get

826
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: what it feels like you're adding an amount on top

827
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: of what you're already paying. But the level of movie

828
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: you're getting here I think warrants that. But is it

829
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: worth the thirty dollars regardless if you're paying for a

830
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: service or not. I can't really say that it's worth

831
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: the thirty bucks After watching it at home, I think

832
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: it's a movie you kind of need that theater experience

833
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: to get and to feel like you're actually getting your

834
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: money's worth. I think it was a good movie. I

835
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: don't think it was a great movie. There were some

836
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: cool parts that I felt like if I had kids

837
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: and they were watching it, they would feel kind of

838
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: a moment of like empowerment and moment of like, oh,

839
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: like I could do something like that. I could be

840
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: courageous I think that part of it was kind of cool.

841
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: So if you have kids, I think it's maybe worth

842
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: it to watch it as a family, But if you're

843
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: just going out and trying to find something new to watch,

844
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the straight up worth thirty bucks

845
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: to pay. I think you if you already have Disney Plus,

846
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: it's worth it just to probably wait until December to

847
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: win it's streaming for free. Now, if I watched this

848
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: movie and didn't know it was Mulan, I may have

849
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: even rated it higher, but I kind of have to

850
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: hold it to that standard of it being a remake,

851
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: being a story told in a different way. I don't

852
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: think it really made any improvements in the story anywhere.

853
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: And although the visual was really cool and it felt

854
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: like something very theatrical, at home, I felt it was good,

855
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 1: not great. I would give it four out of five swords,

856
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: and it's right on that borderline. I think anything more

857
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: than four would warrant paying for thirty bucks to rent

858
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: this movie. But it's like right at that line of

859
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: you could probably wait until it's for free to watch

860
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: this one. Alright, So over the weekend, the first major

861
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: blockbuster hits theaters and I gotta say I felt like

862
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: I was in a little bit of a weird spot

863
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: because I chose to watch the Mulawan movie at home,

864
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: in the comfort of my own four walls, in my

865
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: own TV, instead of going out to the movie theater.

866
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: And I was a little bit surprised to see how

867
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: many people were willing to go to a movie theater

868
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: right now amid this pandemic and all the craziness in

869
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: the world. And you know, even at being Labor Day weekend,

870
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: I get it people want to go out and do

871
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: things and kind of get outside, but I didn't feel

872
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: like I was anywhere close to being ready to go

873
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: see a movie inside. And with Tennant coming out, which

874
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: is the new Christopher Nolan movie, it puts me kind

875
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: of in a weird place because, for the first time ever,

876
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: a major movie is out that I really wanted to

877
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: see that I've been excited to see because there's so

878
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: much kind of mystery around this movie and seeing the

879
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: early reviews about this just got me curious about it.

880
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: And to have a movie podcast where I go watch

881
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: all the latest movies. I don't really see myself at

882
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: any point soon going to see this movie in theaters

883
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: and what I'm kind of wondering is to see how

884
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: it's numbers and ticket sales affect how the movie kind

885
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: of goes moving forward, because I think a lot of

886
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: reason why this movie came out in theaters is because

887
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: of Christopher Nolan's vision of this movie. If you don't

888
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: know who Christopher Nolan is, he's the one who did

889
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: all the Dark Knight movies. He did Inception, Interstellar, so

890
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: all of his movies are really big and cinematic, and

891
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: even movies like Dunkirk, he wants them to be seen

892
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: on the big screen, which is something I've seen, you know,

893
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: other directors say, because they didn't know this pandemic was

894
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: going to happen when they were making this movie, and

895
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: they put in all their work in vision into seeing

896
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: this movie played out on the biggest screens possible. How

897
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: it's meant to be seen the same way when a

898
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: like an artist goes into record their music, they wanted

899
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: to be taken in in a certain kind of way,

900
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: and when it's not, it kind of feels like their

901
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: art is taken a step back a little bit. Because

902
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: if somebody is gonna end up watching this masterpiece on

903
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: anything from a smaller TV screen to downgrading to a

904
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: laptop or going even as far down as watching it

905
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: on a phone. It's like, man, I put so much

906
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: effort into this and it's not even being seen in

907
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: its full potential. And not only that, I'm not getting

908
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 1: the ticket price, I'm getting the streaming numbers, which let's

909
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: not act like these movies are cheap. Like last week

910
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: I rented a movie for twenty bucks to see the

911
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: New Bill and ted this one was thirty dollars to

912
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: see Mulan, And I guess it kind of makes a

913
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: little bit more sense if more people are watching it

914
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: and you're kind of saving money with not having to

915
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: drive to a theater, but they're not going to see

916
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: the same kind of numbers as a global hit if

917
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: it was actually in theaters. So I think it's not

918
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: so much that movie theaters needed this movie to kind

919
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: of say afloat and have like a research And again,

920
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: I think it's also that this movie needed movie theaters

921
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: to kind of be seen in its full potential. So

922
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm don't have any aspirations to go watch this while

923
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: it's in theaters right now. I've seen some early reviews

924
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: on it, and they're kind of calling it Christopher Nolan's

925
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: most confusing movie ever, and basically what the movie is,

926
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: it's an action movie where they're traveling through time in reverse,

927
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,959
Speaker 1: so almost like the action sequence and explosions are having

928
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: in reverse while the main characters are going in forwards time,

929
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: which sounds pretty interesting to me, like I would want

930
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: to see that visually. What I've seen from the trailer,

931
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 1: it looks amazing. And I've talked to some other people

932
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: who I saw on Instagram and asked them, you know, what,

933
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: were there not in the movie, and everybody generally tends

934
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: to like it, but are also a little bit confused

935
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: by it. So I think what we're gonna end up

936
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: seeing happening is maybe at some point, and I'm hoping

937
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: that they're like, Okay, it's been in theaters for a

938
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: few weeks now, we're gonna put it on video one demand.

939
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: It will still probably cost twenty bucks, maybe even thirty

940
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: bucks for this one, but I think this one is

941
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: kind of the litmus test of how movies going back

942
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: to normal will be. So I don't think I'm there yet.

943
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: I don't think i'll be there at this point. Any

944
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: movie this year that comes out in theaters, So I'm

945
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: really hoping it kind of shift to that dynamic of Okay,

946
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: we put it out for a few weeks and then

947
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: video on demand. I would love for it to happen

948
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: both at the same time, because as much as I

949
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: love going to a movie theater, like, don't get me wrong,

950
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: like I love that experience, I've always said I would

951
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: rather watch it in the theater than at home, but

952
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: just from a safety standpoint and not wanting to be

953
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: so like rid it out the entire time, I would

954
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: just rather see it at home. Right now, I've also

955
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: found a way to enjoy that experience too, so we'll

956
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: see what happens. And the other crazy story that happened

957
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: last week was Robert Pattinson as coronavirus and there in

958
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: the middle of filming The Batman and they just kind

959
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: of resumed filming not too long ago, and so much

960
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: so that we had that awesome trailer that came out,

961
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: which was a lot more than I was expecting to

962
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: see that movie. And then I saw the first story

963
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 1: come out last week where they said that for action

964
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: was halted because a member of the crew had coronavirus,

965
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: and then a day later it turns out Robert Pattinson

966
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: was the one who had coronavirus. So they're kind of

967
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: investigating how they're going to continue filming this movie, and

968
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: right now everything is just on pause. I think we

969
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: know a little bit more about it in the next

970
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: few weeks. Now they're still scheduled to put this out

971
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: next year in one Like they haven't said they're delaying

972
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: the release date yet because of Robert Pattinson. But I

973
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: also saw that they were saying that they never expected

974
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: things to go totally smoothly while going back into filming,

975
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: Like I think they expected stuff like this to happen,

976
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: to kind of put a pause at some point, and

977
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe they put that release date knowing that, Okay, if

978
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: we get backed up here in there, we know that

979
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: we can still make that release date. I wonder how

980
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: this will start to play out as far as how

981
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: they changed the content in movies, because maybe they come

982
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: back and you know, they're like, Okay, we're gonna have

983
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: to film some scenes a little more socially distant, We're

984
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to do some things like a little bit

985
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: different on set. And it's kind of interesting to see

986
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: some actors who have gone back to work and shown

987
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of the different restrictions and different things they have

988
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: on set. It's like they get their own trailer now,

989
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: but everything they have is like put into bags and

990
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: they have to throw wardrobe into like their own separate

991
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: little bins, and a lot of people are like doing

992
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: their own makeup. It's just crazy to see how movies

993
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: getting back to filming has changed so much. And while

994
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: right now we're not really experiencing any major delays and

995
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: having new things come out, as far as there hasn't

996
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 1: really been a gap in like new content, right now

997
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: is the point where, Okay, the stuff they're trying to

998
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: film that's coming out over the next year or two

999
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: could really affect how many movies we get to see,

1000
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: maybe in the next couple of years, so all the

1001
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: movies that have been postponed will eventually come out. But

1002
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: after that, it's like, oh man, can they really kind

1003
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: of keep that schedule of having things coming out one

1004
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: after another? So that'll be interesting to see two all right,

1005
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for this week's episode and

1006
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 1: that entire four part series. I hope you guys enjoyed

1007
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: listening to that, all right, So I'll be back next

1008
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: week with a whole new topic. And I also think

1009
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: it to my shout out, I didn't get to do

1010
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 1: it last week. So going over to Twitter this week,

1011
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: it's from at Jackie Nerd, who said she loved the

1012
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: second episode in this series and the only critique she

1013
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: had was the four minute intro. And I have to say,

1014
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: I see tweets come in all the time. Sometimes it's like, hey,

1015
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: your podcast suck? Do you suck? But this is one

1016
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: that was actually like, hey, great episode, However, you talked

1017
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: too much at the very beginning, which I was like, man,

1018
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: Even when I was putting together that episode, I realized

1019
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: the intro was a little long, and I decided to

1020
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: keep it. But after I read this tweet, I was like,

1021
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: you know what, it's actually a really good point. And

1022
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: I made an effort on the next one and this

1023
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: one to keep it shorter in the beginning because I

1024
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: realized it's probably a little annoying. And this is also

1025
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: just proof that I read all of you guys messages

1026
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 1: and tweets. If there's something you don't like, I'll probably

1027
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: see it and consider it now. But just you saying

1028
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: something mean on the internet, then I'll probably won't pay

1029
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: any attention to it. But this is kind of what

1030
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: we need more of on social media, like actual constructive

1031
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: criticism that's helping people out and sometimes people take it

1032
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: the wrong but I was like, Okay, that's actually something

1033
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm doing. So thanks to Jackie for pointing that out,

1034
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: And here's your shout out. Thanks for listening to the podcast.
