I'll 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: get into why I came up with the idea on 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: this week's episode. Also give you a review of the 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: new Michael Bay movie starring Jake Jillen Hall called Ambulance, 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: which is in theaters now and in the trailer park. 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk about a movie coming out this week called 10 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: Father stew with Mark Wahlberg. There are so many great 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: movies out right now. It's starting to be really fun 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: to do this podcast where there's so much to talk about. 13 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: So shout out to the entire Monday Movie crew, thanks 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: for being here and listening every single week. And now 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: let's talk movies. In a world where everyone and their 16 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: walking on MTS classes from the Nashville Podcast Networks Movie 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Movie Podcast. So I would say the number one question 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: I get every time I see an old friend, a coworker, 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: even sometimes you meet a listener out. What people always 23 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: ask me because I do this podcast, because I talked 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: so much about movies online, is what movies should I watch? 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: What movie do you recommend? And it's a hard question 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: to answer because you have to consider many things. Different 27 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: people like different kinds of movies. And I wish there 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: was just one movie I could recommend to every person 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: alive and it'd be good no matter what you like. 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: But that's not really the case when it comes to movies. 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: So I wanted to do an episode that you could 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: come back to later, maybe share with a friend who 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: maybe ask you that question, or what movie should I watch? Well, 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: here are some recommendations for every type of movie lover 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: and what I feel like our movies that anybody could 36 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: watch that are into these genres and enjoy. These are 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: all A plus movies. I think they go beyond what 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: age you are, what level of movie fan you are, 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: that you can just sit down and watch by yourself, 40 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: with a friend or with family, and afterward you think 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: that was a good movie. So these are just my 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: go to recommendations when people ask me that question. So 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: we'll dive into some different genres here, and I want 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: to start with the genre that I don't get to 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: talk about very often, and it is war movies. And 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: my go to war movie recommendation is Fury from I 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: think the thing that stands out most about this movie 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: is the cast with Brad Pitt, Michael Beniah, John Berth, No, 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Scott Eastwood. There are so many great actors in this movie, 50 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: and when I watch a war movie, I want something 51 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: that's very realistic. And I also just love learning about 52 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: World War Two, and any movie that depicts what's going 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: on in the world during that time is just really 54 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: captivating to me, mainly because not that long ago. This 55 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: movie takes place in April ninety five of And what 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: I love about Fury is it's a very gritty, realistic movie, 57 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and I think that's what I look for when I 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: sit down to watch a war movie. So if you're 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: a fan of movies like Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Full Metal Jacket, I think Fury is right up there 61 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: as well. What I was saying is, I think the 62 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: cast in this just really makes this movie what it 63 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: is because Brad Pitt as the leader here with this 64 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: cool haircut and cool accent and everybody's war names in 65 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: this movie, and I think that's why I like Fury 66 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: so much. I was rewatching it before I did this episode, 67 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: and every character here, from Brad Pitt to Shyla Buff, 68 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you really get to know and it kind of takes 69 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: it a step further when watching a war movie and 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: really helps you connect and depict what was going on 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: during that time in that war in particular. And I 72 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: just love the story here. It's about this five man 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: crew who undertakes really deadly mission and it all kind 74 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: of comes to the climax of the movie when they're 75 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: outnumbered and basically have to fight against these Nazis knowing 76 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: that they're probably not going to come out alive. So 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: if you're looking to sit down and watch a war 78 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: movie that maybe you haven't seen, I would go with Fury. 79 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: From Next up, I want to talk about my go 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: to drama recommendation, and it's also from and I really 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: love dramas and movies that focus on the subject and 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: makes that subject seem like it's the biggest thing in 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: the entire world. But it's always something that I would 84 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: have no interest in really knowing more about. But through 85 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: their storytelling and through the focus on this one subject. 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: It makes it so captivating. And the movie I want 87 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: to talk about here is Whiplash. Also just some really 88 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: great actors in this movie, but hands down the best 89 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: performance goes to j. K. Simmons his portrayal as Terrence 90 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Fletcher in this as he is pushing Miles Teller's character 91 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: to be this incredible drummer. I just love the tension 92 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: between these two characters, especially during the iconic not quite 93 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: my tempo scene, not quite my temple. It's all good, 94 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: no worries. Here we go dry. I'm upsets the whole band, 95 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: can hear you, I'm upset, Louder, I'm Upsetuder, I'm upset. 96 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: So j K. Simmons as this instructor trying to push 97 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: him to the best of his ability to be the 98 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: greatest drummer he can be, and as you hear in 99 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: that clip, just basically shattering his mental state because nothing 100 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: he does is good enough. So I love how this 101 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: movie took the subject of drumming in a jazz ensemble 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: to be the biggest thing in the entire world, like 103 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: it was a life or death situation that was going 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: on here. And I just put myself if I was 105 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: just going to watch a performance from this jazz ensemble 106 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: and had no idea what was going on. I just 107 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: should be like, oh, that was a great Morman's not 108 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: knowing how hard that drummer was pushed to make those 109 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: quarter notes and all those things that he's yelling at 110 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: them for. So there are other movies that do this. 111 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: And if you're fans of movies like Moneyball, Black swan Ford, 112 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: b Ferrari, where it's super hyper focused on a sport, 113 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: a hobby, or just some kind of craft and done 114 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: in this dramatic way and through the eyes of a 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: drama like this, it just makes for a really good movie. 116 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: So my go to drama recommendation if you haven't seen it, 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: is Whiplash. Next up, let me talk about my go 118 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: to comedy recommendation, and again by looking at this list 119 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: and if you listen to this podcast for any amount 120 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: of time, I always like to focus on movies happening now. 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of keeping filmmaking and the you know, 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: enjoyment of modern cinema alive. So I always like to 123 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: recommend things within the last ten years. And when it 124 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: comes to comedies, I feel like comedies haven't been there 125 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: in the last ten years. I think the genre of 126 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: comedy is kind of dead, to be honest, I can't 127 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: remember the last time I watched a movie an outright 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: laughed out loud like I did when I was a teenager, 129 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: like I did when I was a kid. What I 130 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: think is the thing now is drama eas So it's 131 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: a mix of drama with comedy, so it's not outwardly 132 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: trying to be this thing that you're gonna watch and 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: be like, man, that was the funniest movie I've ever seen. 134 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that exists anymore. I just think comedy 135 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: has evolved out of what the scope of a movie 136 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: can be. So it's really hard to do that now. 137 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: As we saw with Judd Apatow's last movie on Netflix. 138 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: You can just fail so bad at comedies right now 139 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: because it's hard to make something funny these days. And 140 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: what I think is now the kind of go to 141 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: movie I look for is that mix of a dramedy, 142 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: so it's not so much relying on keeping the funny 143 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: moments coming again and again and again. It builds a 144 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: story through a character feels a little bit more relatable, 145 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: but has some comedic relief throughout it. That's a little 146 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: bit more relatable, a little bit more of that things 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: that we would find, you know, in everyday life. And 148 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little bit of a safety net of 149 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: not branding itself as a funny, laugh out loud comedy 150 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: to where I enjoyed that a little bit more so. 151 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: What I would recommend in the drama y category is 152 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: a movie from called Ingrid Goes West starring Aubrey Plaza, 153 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: and I really love a lot of Aubrey Plaza movies, 154 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: and this movie is about her character is dealing with 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: the death of her mother. She has all these kind 156 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: of setbacks in her life, and she's trying to kind 157 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: of escape all the sad things in her life through 158 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: social media, and she becomes obsessed with this other person 159 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: on Instagram. She's like this l a based influence her 160 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: name Taylor, and she finds a way to become friends 161 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: with her and does all this kind of scam artists 162 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: manipulation through social media. So I feel like it's also 163 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: a little bit relevant to what's going on now and 164 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: what we're all kind of obsessed with when it comes 165 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: to television shows and documentaries. We love things right now 166 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: about people getting scammed, people falling for things that you think, well, 167 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: how could somebody fall for that? People manipulating and not 168 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: saying who they actually are, and doing really shady things 169 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: online and just in life in general. So I feel 170 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: like if this movie came out now, it would have 171 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: a bigger impact and people would be talking about it more. 172 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: But it came out back in seventeen. Maybe it wasn't 173 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: the biggest thing at the moment, but it has that 174 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: good mix of comedy and drama and in that scam 175 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: artist space. So if you've watched recent movies like Promising, 176 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Young Woman, I Care a Lot, or even back a 177 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: little further the Blingering, and you were fans of those movies, 178 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: I think you would like Ingrid Goes West. Next up. 179 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: We kind of stay in the same space. And I 180 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: want to talk about my go to rom com recommendation, 181 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: and it's kind of changed a little bit over the years, 182 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: but I have to say the most recent rom com 183 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: I watched and really loved was from this year. It's 184 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: called I Want You Back, starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. 185 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: Came out on Amazon and kind of like just straight 186 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: up comedy. I too thought the romantic comedy was a 187 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: little bit dead too, and it just got very cheesy, 188 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: which I know that's what rom coms are supposed to be, 189 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: But I love the feeling of a late nineties, early 190 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: two thousands rom calm. I think that's where this genre 191 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: really thrived. And when I watched I Want You Back, 192 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: I had those same kind of feelings that I got 193 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: from those types of movies during that era, because the 194 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: line you have to walk between a rom com is 195 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: what the genre says, that has to have an element 196 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: of romance where you believe in the character's love story 197 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: and it's also funny, which is hard to do because 198 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: I feel like so often it just kind of falls 199 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: into the cheesy comedy and the love story never really develops. 200 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: And the most recent rom comes I've seen with a 201 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: few exceptions that I'll get into that this movie is 202 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: similar like, but this movie did it so well and 203 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: it was also a little novel. The story is about 204 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: these two total strangers dealing with this breakup around the 205 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: same time, and together they meet and decide they're going 206 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: to use each other to get their excess back try 207 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: and date them, and you know, basically we're talking about 208 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: scams earlier scam away into ending up back with a 209 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: person they thought they were supposed to be with. But 210 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: I actually believed in the love story here and it 211 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: had me invested in a way I wasn't going to 212 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: expect it to. And not only that, it does have 213 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: some good comedic moments. I wouldn't say fall out of 214 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: your chair moments by any means, but I think it 215 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: was really there and it was just very charming. So 216 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: love Charlie Day from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And I 217 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: loved Jenny Slay back when she was on SNL even 218 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: though she did drop an F word. I think that 219 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: was like the pinnacle of her SNL career. But she 220 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: does some really great stand up comedy. Has also been 221 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: in some good movies. To obvious, Child was probably my 222 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: favorite movie of hers, but this one is really up there. 223 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: So I do like to recommend this one because I 224 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: feel like more people should have seen this movie on 225 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: Amazon and the movies I would say it's similar to, 226 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: and the movies I would compare it to recently that 227 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: have been some of my favorite rom coms. Were Crazy 228 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: Rich Asians and always be my maybe, so I think 229 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: those three movies have been my three favorite rom coms 230 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: in the last ten years, But if you're a fan 231 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: of the rom coms of the nineties and two thousand's, 232 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: I think this I Want You Back movie is as 233 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: close as you can get to that. A few more 234 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: genres I want to talk about, and musicals are probably 235 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: way down there on the list of movies I set 236 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: out to watch. I just don't really like the idea 237 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: and concept of people bursting into song randomly and the 238 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: song having to develop the plot, because if I'm watching 239 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: a movie and the singing just takes me out of it, 240 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: it takes me out of following along with the story, 241 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: and I don't really consider a song to be like 242 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: a plot point. It just feels like music to me 243 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: is set in the middle of a movie. So when 244 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of singing, I feel like there's very 245 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: little story in musicals. So that's why I just choose 246 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: not to watch them. But every now and then a 247 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: really big one comes out, and I think why they 248 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: stand out so much is because they are able to 249 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: tell the story and the music kind of takes it 250 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: a step further. It's not the main thing, it's not 251 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: carrying the entire movie. It heightens everything else about the movie, 252 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: and the movie I watched most recently and wasn't expecting 253 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: to like as much as I did was Tick Tick Boom, 254 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: And now that is kind of my goat to musical 255 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: recommendation if you haven't seen that one, because Andrew Garfield 256 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: is so good in it, and it's more a story 257 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: about struggling turning thirty years old, having that kind of 258 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: time in your life, where do you go on and 259 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: do something that you're super passionate about but aren't having 260 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: much success in even though you know it's what you're 261 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, Or go and be like what 262 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: all your other friends are doing now and settling down 263 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: into careers to kind of move on from that phase 264 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: of their life. And that's what I took away from 265 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: this movie, and the music and the songs just kind 266 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: of heightened that. I did find the songs catchy, and 267 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: even though I'm not into musical theater at all, I 268 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: found it really refreshing. So this is now my go 269 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: to musical recommendation. Before that, it was La La Land, 270 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: But I think at this point, if you haven't seen 271 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: La La Land, you're never going to watch La La 272 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: Land because that type of movie probably doesn't appeal to you. 273 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: But if you are a fan of La La Land, 274 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: haven't seeing tick Tick Boom, Or maybe you're a fan 275 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: of a Star's Board or The Greatest Showman. I think 276 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: all of these movies kind of fall into movies that 277 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: people call musicals, fall under that genre, but there's more 278 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: substance there to grab onto if that's not your thing. 279 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Next up, I want to talk about action movies, and 280 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: whenever I recommend an action movie that I think most 281 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: people will like, always have to think about my dad, 282 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: because my dad and I have probably bonded very little 283 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: over movies, because, unlike anybody else I've ever met, he 284 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't watch any movies, he doesn't watch any TV shows. 285 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: He goes to work, comes home, he eats, and he 286 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: goes to sleep. But every now and then he'll be 287 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: sitting on the couch on like a Saturday afternoon, and 288 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: we'll throw on a movie to try to get his attention. 289 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: It always just has to be an action movie because 290 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: my dad can understand there's a bad guy, there's a 291 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: good guy. Bad guy wants to shoot good guy. Good 292 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: guy has a fight back, Like my dad con grass 293 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: that concept um if you're not familiar with my family. 294 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: My parents moved here from Mexico. They speak primarily Spanish 295 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: but no English, so when they're watching a movie, you know, 296 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: some of the language barrier is there and they won't 297 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: understand all the dialogue. So I think with an action movie, 298 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: it's very deliberate with what's going on. You don't really 299 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: have to follow along the plot line, do you understand it? 300 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: So our go to genre is the action movies or 301 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: like old three Stooges skits from back in the Day 302 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: and the movie I want to Show Him now is 303 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: a movie that came out last year was Bob oden 304 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: Kirk called Nobody. I love Bob oden Kirk. You probably 305 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: know him best as Saul and Better Call Saw and 306 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. He did some really great work as a 307 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: comedy writer in SNL back in the day, wrote one 308 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: of my favorite Chris Farley sketches ever. And it's kind 309 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: of cool seeing him having so much success with Better 310 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: Call Saul and now being a movie star, which he 311 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been in movies his entire career as well, 312 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: but it's cool seeing him as a leading man and 313 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: in a movie like Nobody, where I kind of feel 314 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: like it's the movie adaptation of Breaking Bad that it 315 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: should have got. Like I didn't like El Camino on Netflix, 316 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: but I kind of had that same feeling watching nobody 317 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: of it exists in that world. I don't know just 318 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: because it's Bob hooden Kirk that I had that feeling. 319 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: But he plays a character named Hutch who had this 320 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: kind of dark past of doing these things that you 321 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: kind of learned throughout the movie. But he has a 322 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: very kind of special set of skills, maybe a little 323 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: derivative of like Taken, and he's trying to defend himself 324 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: after two thieves broken to his house and you know, 325 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: threatened his family, so he kind of goes back into 326 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: reverting into that lifestyle. And there's a lot of fist fights. 327 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of gunfire, you know, squealing tires, like 328 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: all those things that make up a great action movie 329 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: are in this movie. And it just has kind of 330 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: a good, fresh feel to it because it is Bob 331 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: boden Kirk. It's like an older guy but still being 332 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: able to crush anybody who comes at him. I just 333 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: kind of love that aspect of it. So if you're 334 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: a fan of movies like The John Wick movies. It's 335 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: not as violent as a John Wick movie, but kind 336 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: of up there too, you know Jason Bourne, the die 337 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: Hard movies, or even if you just love Breaking Bad, 338 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: I think you would really like Nobody. And I tell 339 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: anybody looking for a great action movie, you gotta check 340 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: this one now before you go watch anyone. But I 341 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: kind of feel like this is my go to like 342 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: guy movie recommendation because I know it'll pass my dad's 343 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: test of like, man, that's a good movie just by 344 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: seeing all the flying action in it. I decided to 345 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: throw in a bonus one here. And it's a movie 346 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to talk about on the podcast. 347 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm really found a place for it yet. But it's 348 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: a movie called The Worst Person in the World, and 349 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: it is now my go to foreign film recommendation. It's 350 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: in Norwegian and I remember seeing the trailer kind of 351 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: pop up here and there, and the first thing that 352 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: stuck out to me about this movie is the title. 353 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: That's such a great movie title, the Worst Person in 354 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: the World. And know, it's not a movie about me. 355 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: It's a movie about this young woman and it kind 356 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: of follows her life of indecisiveness and not being able 357 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: to fully commit to a relationship. And what I loved 358 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: about The Worst Person in the World is even though 359 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't speak Norwegian, it didn't really matter while I 360 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: was watching this movie. And my favorite aspect of it 361 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: is that you don't entirely root for her throughout the 362 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: entire movie. It shows the good parts of her, but 363 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: it also really shows the bad parts of her, and 364 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: she's almost not a hero in her own movie because 365 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: she's doing some things that as the viewer, you're like, man, 366 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: you're kind of a bad person for doing that. And 367 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: it just kind of shows a realistic depiction of somebody's 368 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: struggle trying to find love, trying to find their worth 369 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: in life, and it's a very realistic but entertaining approach. 370 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: There's some great visuals in this movie, even just from 371 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: watching the trailer. There's a scene where she's like running 372 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: through and time is frozen. There's some other kind of 373 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: funny elements and somewhat bizarre moments throughout the movie as well, 374 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: But overall, it's just a very realistic and depiction of 375 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: life that I really haven't seen before. And maybe that's 376 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: because it is a Norwegian film, but I have been 377 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: trying to get into a little bit more of foreign films, 378 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: kind of expanding just beyond my American brain of wanting 379 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: to watch the big Hollywood movies just to see how 380 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: different people tell stories. And it kind of goes back 381 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: to what I was talking about with my dad of 382 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 1: you know, even though he doesn't fully understand all the 383 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: English dialogue, he still gets when there's good storytelling there 384 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: or when there's just great action there. And I think 385 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: that's the same thing when watching a foreign film, me 386 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: being American and watching a Norwegian film. If the writing 387 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: is there, if the acting is there, and it's all 388 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: done at a really high level, it doesn't really matter 389 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: what language it's in. So if you're a fan of 390 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: movies like Parasite or also came out in the past 391 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: year Parallel Mothers, which I really enjoyed back in the day, 392 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: Eat the MoMath and began with one of my favorite 393 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: foreign films, Like me, you're just looking for maybe something 394 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: in a different language that just has a really great story. 395 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: I would say, check out The Worst Person in the World. 396 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: And last up, I wanted to talk about thriller. I 397 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: think that's kind of at least in my top three 398 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: genres because when a thriller has done really well, it 399 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: does what I look for in a movie going experience. 400 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: I want to feel like I'm on a roller coaster. 401 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: I want to feel like I'm taking on an emotional 402 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: ride that gets my heart rate going, but also like 403 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: plays into what's going on in my brain of analyzing 404 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: all these scenes and dialogue and characters. I just feel 405 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: like thriller really gives you the most bang for your 406 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: buck because it has the elements of drama, it has 407 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: the elements of action, and it's not like a superhero 408 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: movie that has any kind fantasy aspect to it. It's 409 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: just very set in real life. And I think that's why, 410 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: when done well, I just love a good thriller. And 411 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: the one I recommend the most is also from and 412 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: it is starring Jake jillen Hall called Nightcrawler. I feel 413 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: like one of his best performances he's ever given, but 414 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: received zero OSCAR nominations for this role. And the fact 415 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: that Jake jillen Hall has only received one OSCAR nomination 416 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: out of his entire acting career, I believe it was 417 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: a travesty. So what this movie is about, It's this 418 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: guy played by Jake Jillen Hall living in Los Angeles 419 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: and he's trying to get by on this newly stumbled 420 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: upon career as a cameraman, and he is trying to 421 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: get footage that he is selling two new stations. So 422 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: he gets a police scanner, starts listening for violent crimes, 423 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: goes there with this camera and gets the most upfront 424 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: and brutal footage that he can because that's what pays 425 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: the most. If bleeds it leads, they tell him in 426 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: the movie. So he gets obsessed with this idea of 427 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: going there being the first they're getting the closest shot, 428 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: getting the most gruesome shot, because because that's what's driving 429 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: the news ratings, and if he can get that exclusive shot, 430 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: he can make more money for it. But what happens 431 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: is it gets very dark, and he starts to descend 432 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: into this madness of being so obsessed with it that 433 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't really have any more values, and the news 434 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: organization he's working with almost doesn't really care how he 435 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: gets the shot, so you can imagine where it goes 436 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: from there. All he cares about is getting that shot. 437 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: Jake Jillen Hall really dives into a really dark place 438 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: to do this character and if I think he's like 439 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: one of my dream interviews to have. And I know 440 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: he's been doing press for his new movie that I 441 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: will be reviewing here in a bit, and I would 442 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: just like to ask him he plays like a demented character, 443 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: so well, where does he go with in his brain? 444 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: He seems like a pretty chill, down to earth dude 445 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: when he's on on camera, but seeing him in a 446 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: role like this in several of his movie roles where 447 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: he's just overwhelmed with emotion and looks downright scary, I 448 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: just wonder, like, how do you get to that place 449 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: as an actor? But if you liked movies like Drive 450 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: or Taxi Driver back in the day, movies like No 451 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: Country for Old Men, Hell or High Water New Wars 452 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: style movies, I think you'd really like Nightcrawler if you 453 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: haven't seen it. So that is my go to thriller recommendation, 454 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: and that will take us into this week's movie review. 455 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Ambulance starring Jake Jillen Hall after this, 456 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: I want to get into this movie review. Now, let's 457 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: talk about Ambulance. It's in theaters now, directed by Michael Bay, 458 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: starring Jake Jillen Hall and Yaka abdual Matine. The second 459 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: a big, fun action ride, lots of explosions. If you're 460 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: into that, I think this could be the movie for you. 461 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Before I get into my full review of it, here's 462 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: just a little bit of the ambulance trailer. I got 463 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: a cop shot. You gotta get him to the hospital. 464 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: You're my brother. Have I ever gotten anything that couldn't 465 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: get you out of block everything down? We're just trying 466 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: to get home. We don't get to walk over into 467 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: the suns. I have a plan. So what this movie 468 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: is about. Jake Jillen Hall and Yaa are brothers, and 469 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: Yahya's character is a veteran. He is a war hero, 470 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: but now he's needing money to pay for this medical 471 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: procedure that his wife needs and he's really having no 472 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: kind of luck. So he goes to his brother, Jake 473 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: Jillen Hogg, who is a very sophisticated bank robber, and 474 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: then Jake Jillen Hog gets him involved in this bank 475 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: highest and part that goes wrong is a cop gets shot. 476 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: An ambulance tries to go and rescue the cop, and 477 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: then they hijack that ambulance to escape from the bank, 478 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: and the entire movie is just this big police chase 479 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: involving them trying to get away. So that's basically the 480 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: plot of the movie. There are a lot of other 481 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: twists and turns, and I honestly think this is one 482 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: of Michael Bay's best movies in a very long time. 483 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: He kind of went back to his roots. And you 484 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: can hate on Michael Bay. I feel like some people do, 485 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: because everybody says he just uses explosions. If you think 486 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: about his movies that have made his name known, primarily 487 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: the Transformers franchise, but also Bad Boys Armageddon. A movie 488 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: I really like from him is called Pain and Gain, 489 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: and yes, he throws in a lot of special effects, 490 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: but Michael Bay knows how to make an entertaining movie 491 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: on the big screen, and this movie does exactly that. 492 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: So what really sticks out with this one is he's 493 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: gotten a little bit away from He used a lot 494 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: of what is called lens flare and Transformers, which was 495 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: this very like stylistic thing. He kind of made it 496 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: so popular because of those movies and probably used it 497 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: a little bit too much that it's a little visually jarring. 498 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: And I think he's evolved a little bit from that. 499 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: There is some of that in this movie, but the 500 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: new kind of thing he is focused on is these 501 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: crazy aerial drone shots that he uses a lot. If 502 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: you go watch the trailer, it's straight up like going 503 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: up a building, does a spin, and then focuses on 504 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: another part. It's very visually stimulating. You watch this movie 505 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: and it has a style to it, and that's what 506 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: I loved about it. I I felt his voice in 507 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: just that direction and just the look of the movie. 508 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: So even if you took the same movie with the 509 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: same script, the same actors without that style, I don't 510 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: think it would have been as entertaining. So I gotta 511 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: give it to him. He really knows how to make 512 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: something that's fun to watch in theaters, and those shots, 513 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: for me, made it a lot more enjoyable. If you 514 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: get a little bit motion sick while watching something like that. 515 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: If you just see the trailer and that's like, oh, 516 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: I can't handle that. The entire movie maybe uses it 517 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: a little it too much, but it's just so cool 518 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: that I think he kind of had to. And then 519 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: the pacing throughout the movie is pretty good because it 520 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: does kind of remind me of speed and you think, 521 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: how long could you watch a chase scene and still 522 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: be entertained by it. It maybe went on just a 523 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: little bit too long and the third act, but there 524 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: was just so much gunfire, car crashes. He got really 525 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: into like cars running into things on the sidewalk and 526 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, exploding and going everywhere. So those kinds of 527 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: things are very fun in this movie. Now, when you 528 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: talk about the actors here, I thought it was a 529 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: really fun role for Jake Jillen Hall. And I was 530 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: even watching him on SNL over the weekend, and in 531 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: his monologue he kind of addressed that. He even talked 532 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: about the movie Nightcrawler, which I was talking about earlier. 533 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: I recorded that segment of the podcast before I watched 534 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: as anel, so it was kind of cool to hear 535 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned that movie because I am a big fan 536 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: of that. I think he knows that. But I'll play 537 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: you this clip from his SNL monologue which kind of 538 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: explains I think it was a little bit more in 539 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: ref friends to him in his choice to host us 540 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: and now, But I also feel like he's also kind 541 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: of talking about why he did a movie like this. 542 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I got this reputation for being 543 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: this serious, intense method actor, but honestly, I wasn't even 544 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: that good at method acting. I was only doing that 545 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: method stuff because I thought that's what you had to 546 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: do to be a serious actor, and I kind of 547 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: forgot how to have fun. That's when I realized something 548 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: I should have realized a long time ago. Acting is 549 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: a really stupid job. It's pretend and it's it's fun 550 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: and it should be filled with joy. Well, I'm finally 551 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: embracing that joy again, and that's why I'm back standing 552 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: on the stage. And I felt like he was really 553 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: embracing that in this movie. And you think someone at 554 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: his level of acting maybe wouldn't do a movie like this, 555 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: But it was fun to see and he really kind 556 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: of dived a little bit into that darker side that 557 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: he does have, not as much a little bit of 558 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: his character in Spiderman Mysterio. I felt like came out 559 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: a little bit in this role. But it just felt 560 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: like him wanting to do a big, fun, entertaining movie 561 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: and didn't take himself entirely seriously. There were even some 562 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: lighthearted moments in all this chaos, But I just thought 563 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: he was perfect in this role. Also really enjoyed ya 564 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: Ya in this movie. I really loved him in The 565 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Watchman and also in Candyman, and I just think he's 566 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: a really great action star and showed even a little 567 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: bit more of his range in this movie. But again, 568 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: you're not gonna go into watching Ambulance with the premise 569 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: like this, with the special effects that Michael Bay has 570 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: in this movie and leave feeling like you just watched 571 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: a OSCAR nominated or you know, best actor worthy performance. 572 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: But it's just a fun, turn your brain off and 573 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: watch things explode and crazy things happen type of movie. 574 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: And I felt like I really needed that right now. 575 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: And even my wife Kelsey went with me, and she's 576 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: not super into these type of movies, but she found 577 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: it very entertaining. Maybe not her favorite movie that she's 578 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: seen this year, but at one point she was like, 579 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: I have to go to the bathroom, but I don't 580 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: want to leave because it's so good. I think her 581 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: biggest complaint was that it did feel a little bit 582 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: long at two hours in fifteen minutes, And yeah, I 583 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: think if this movie was under two hours, it really 584 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: could have made that third act a little bit stronger 585 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: and not feel any lull whatsoever, it would have just 586 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: been NonStop action. So Ambulance had everything I was looking 587 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: for in Michael Bay action movie. It had the cheesy lines. 588 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: Not as cheesy as The Fast and the Furious movies, 589 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: but cheesy in the sense that it had a little 590 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: bit of a cliche cast of character types, like the 591 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: seasoned cop who's trying to catch them, the more sophisticated 592 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: FBI guy who's working alongside trying to talk Jake Jillen 593 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: hauled down from hurting anybody else in this chase. And 594 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: there was one line in particular that I feel like 595 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: I would used if I was making a parody of 596 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: an action movie like this. One of the characters is like, 597 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: tell my wife I love her, and the other person 598 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: is like, you'll tell her yourself. It just felt very cliche, 599 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: but I loved it so overall. I think if all 600 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: the things I've been talking about sound like what you 601 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: would be interested in in an action movie, you'll have 602 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: a fun time watching this one. I give it three 603 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: point five out of five money bags. Now it's time 604 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: for the part of the podcast where I break down 605 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: a movie trailer of a movie coming to you very soon. 606 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: In theaters or streaming on demand. In a segment we 607 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: call it's time to head down to movie, and this 608 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: week we are talking about a movie called Father Stew 609 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: that is coming out starring Mark Wahlberg. I really love 610 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: movies where the actor considers it a passion project, and 611 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg has been wanting to make this movie for 612 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: a very long time. I'm based on a true story, 613 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: a story he just really believed in. So I think 614 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: when an actor is that invested in a project, I 615 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: already feel like it heightens my expectations going into it. 616 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: It's not just the movie he took on to get 617 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: a paycheck. If they truly believed in it, truly just 618 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: loved the story, I feel like it's going to be 619 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: a heightened movie going experience. So we'll talk all about 620 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: this movie, but here's just a little bit of the trailer. 621 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to be a priesteen. I've all been wrong, 622 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: and we've all done some wrong, but he came to 623 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: forget us. Everybody will be treated all this thing. There's 624 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: no easy way to deliver news. You have a progressive 625 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: muscle disorder, the muscles weakened. Then until he sees the 626 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: function is there anything that doesn't mess with Yeah, I 627 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: rutile function. I'm trying to be a p the wise 628 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: man will bound down. So Mark Wahlberg plays this character 629 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: who has had a bit of an identity crisis, trying 630 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: out all these different jobs and career paths, and in 631 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: the movie gets started with him wanting to go and 632 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: be an actor in Hollywood, and then he meets this 633 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: girl who was a Mexican American, find that relatable and 634 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: then ultimately decides that he wants to be a priest. 635 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: And this comes to him after a near death experience. 636 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: In the trailer, you see he's on a motorcycle and 637 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: gets hit by a car and then somehow survives it. 638 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: So as he is trying to be a priest, he 639 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: is also hit with this diagnosis that's called inclusion body mitosis, 640 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: which is extremely rare. It's basically a disease that has 641 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: the same kind of symptoms as als. It's incurable, and 642 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: you see his body start to break down. So just 643 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: in the trailer alone, you see Mark Wahlberg go as 644 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: the Mark Wahlber we all know ripped up very in 645 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: shape too. What he actually did to prepare for this 646 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: role during this role was gained thirty pounds, and you 647 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: see that in the trailer, and what he actually did 648 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: in real life is he had six weeks to put 649 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: on about thirty pounds, started consuming seven thousand calories a day, 650 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: and then eleven thousand calories. The final four weeks of 651 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: this weight game, he was straight up just drinking olive oil. 652 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: So that's a commitment to the role. And for somebody 653 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: like Mark Wahlberg, who in the past has been very 654 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: open with how crazy his schedule is. He wakes up 655 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: at like two am and works out, has all these 656 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: meals like throughout the day, does so much before like 657 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 1: seven am. Then most humans do, and it's very strict 658 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: and all that process of you know, going to sleep 659 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: very early, and at his age, still has a physique that's, 660 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, still a Hollywood movie star physique. So I 661 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: think that has to be hard on you too, if 662 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: you're going to really commit to a movie to the 663 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: point to where you are taking away all that all 664 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: those things you work for, I mean knowing he can 665 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: probably get it back within a couple few months because 666 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: of how intense he is. I just think that's an 667 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: extra level of commitment, and it's not unheard of for 668 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: an actor to put on weight for a role. We've seen, 669 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, drastic weight gains or weight sheds be sometimes 670 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: the reason that people go on to win Oscars. And 671 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: you don't really put Mark Wahlberg in that category because 672 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like people don't take him 673 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: seriously enough. And I really like his work. I like 674 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: his action movies, I like his dramas, I really like 675 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: him in comedy. I think he is one of the 676 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: most underrated A list actors. So what this movie is, 677 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: it's this bad boy type with a good heart, has 678 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: a big health scare, and it's just trying to do 679 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: something that gives them purpose in life. So if you're 680 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: looking to get your Mark Wahlberg fix, you want to 681 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: watch something based on a true story or just looking 682 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: for maybe something uplifting. This movie comes out early this week. 683 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: He comes out on Wednesday, April, just in time for 684 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: the Eastern weekend. So there you go. This makes addition 685 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: of bar and that'll do it here for another week 686 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: of the podcast. And what I like to do at 687 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: the end of every single episode, give my listeners shout out. 688 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: You can do that just by hitting me up on 689 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: any form of social media. Send me an email Movie 690 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: Mike D at gmail dot com If you need quick 691 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: links to any of the things, they're all down in 692 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: the episode description. And I think this is the first 693 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: for the listeners. Shout out is I have a physical 694 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 1: letter here, and something I never really expected, because I 695 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: feel like it already takes so much just to send 696 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: a d M or tweet, even just to send an email, 697 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: like that's going above a step, you know, to a 698 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,959 Speaker 1: podcast you listen to. So to have a physical letter 699 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: in my hands to read during the listeners shout out 700 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: is something I never thought would happen. And the letter 701 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: is addressed to Movie Mike. It is from Barbara Sears 702 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: and Williamsburg, Kentucky, and she writes Mike D.
