17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: From the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: There is something special about a movie that takes place

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: in the summer because as a kid growing up, I think,

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: like everybody, it was my favorite time of the year,

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: no school, no rules, swimming pools, lakes and Tuna Fish Stand,

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: which is that was summer to me, and I love

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: movies that can capture that feeling of the season. So

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: I want to share with you my top five films

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: that take place in the summer. As we're kind of

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: winding down the summertime, as kids are going back to school,

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: and even now as an adult, seeing that back to

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: school display come up at Walmart or Target, it just

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: gives me a sad feeling even though it's been a

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: very long time since I've had to go to grade school.

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: But as this summer comes to an end, even though

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it because it's still a billion

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: degrees outside, I want to share with you some movies

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: that can keep summer going forever for you. Because the

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: thing they don't tell you as a kid is that

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: when you're an adult, you will miss every single summer

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: because it doesn't stop. So what I do is I

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: go back and watch movies that I watch as a

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: kid that had summer in them and make me feel

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: like I have no responsibilities and make me feel like

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: a kid again. So the rules for this list in

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: this top five is these movies will simply they must

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: take place in the summer. But not only that, the

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: storyline has to be very specific to summer, therefore could

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: only take place in the months of June, July, or August.

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: It has to play a pivotal part in the entire plot.

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: It's not just the story that happens to be during

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: the summer. It can only exist because it happens in

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: the summer. How many times am I going to say

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: summer in this episode? Basically, the movie has to embody summer.

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that these movies had to be released

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in the summer, because a lot of them weren't, but

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: they are all great summer movies that have stood the

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: test of time. So these have been movies that I've

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: been watching since I was a kid, and I feel

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: that everybody should watch at least once to give them

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: that summer feeling. So let's kick off this list with

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: number five from nineteen seventy five. The movie is Jaws,

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: one of the best horror films of all time. And

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the reason I feel that this movie embody summer is

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: because it's about a great white shark named Jaws. This

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: beach town is in distress, but it is a quintessential

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: summer film, not only because it takes place at summer,

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: It takes place at a beach, and it has made

65
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: basically everybody afraid to go out into the open water

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: with the fear of Jaws creeping up underneath you. That

67
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: I feel like when this movie came out in the seventies,

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: it was so terrorizing to so many people, and the

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: movie has to the test of time and stand the

70
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: test of time. It has. It is a movie that

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: gets screened every single summer, and I love places that

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: do these screenings out on the water to Jaws, because

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: there is just something eerie feeling that even if you're

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: in a lake and watching a screening of Jaws, something

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: in the back of your head still has this fear of, oh, man,

76
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: there could actually be a shark in here. But aside

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: from it just being a movie that embodies summer, and

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: the reason that big summer blockbusters are a thing is

79
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: because of Jaws. This was that first big blockbuster because

80
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: before Jaws, the summer season at the movie theater was

81
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: not what it is today. You wouldn't put your best

82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: movies out in the summer. Everybody was doing other things.

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: They were going out on vacation and living life. But

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: after Jaws, came out in the summer of seventy five

85
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: and proved to be such a big success. This is

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: when all the movie studios thought, well, if Jaws could

87
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: have success doing this, let's put all our biggest properties

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: out during the summer. Therefore, the summer blockbuster was born,

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: which is now my favorite time of the year. And

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I think we've been having a pretty great one so

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: far in twenty twenty three. So for all those reasons,

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: I put Jaws at number five. At number four, I

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: thought a long time about this, and I try to

94
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: think of movies that have really stood the test of

95
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: time for me and have really been influential on my life,

96
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: and I throw away all of that critical acclaim and

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: all the reasons that movies should make a top five list,

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: and thought about movies that really mean a lot to me.

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: And a movie for me that embodies summer, that embodies

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: my early even preteen years, is a movie that came

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: out in two thousand and one, and number four I

102
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: have American Pie two. I would argue that this is

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: one of the best comedic sequels of all time, because

104
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: you can look throughout history whenever you have a hit comedy,

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: the idea is let's do that same movie again, but worse.

106
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: There are very few times where a sequel to a

107
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: comedy comes out and it is better than the first one.

108
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: And oftentimes in the nineties, you just wouldn't get a

109
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: sequel because why even touch it. It was gonna go

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: straight to video. And really, the only movie that comes

111
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: to mind, which I know somebody will message me and say,

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: you forgot about this movie or you forgot about that movie.

113
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: But when I think of all the great comedies I've

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: seen in my life and have been anticipating a sequel to,

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the only one that has met my expectations and I

116
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: would argue is better than the original movie is American

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Pie Too, because the first one took place in high

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: school and American Pie two takes place a year after that,

119
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: their first summer away from college, getting all back together.

120
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: They've all had these different life experiences, meeting different people.

121
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: The guys were in a beach house and val to

122
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: make this the best summer ever. So you have that

123
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: same cast playing those same great characters that I really

124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: felt an odd connection to. And I think it's because

125
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: when that first movie came out, I was very impressionable,

126
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: and I probably shouldn't have watched American Pie in nineteen

127
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: ninety nine because I was eight years old, But for

128
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: some reason, it was probably because I thought these characters

129
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: were so cool and I thought when I go to

130
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: high school, I want to be like them. That I

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: was never so invested in a cast of characters that

132
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I needed to know what are they up to now?

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: What is it going to be like when they all

134
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: get together again and start hanging out? And I think

135
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: that is something that was so essential to all these

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: raunchy teen comedies in the late nineties and early two thousands,

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: that there were just really great, well written, fleshed out characters.

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: There hasn't been an attention to detail on character development

139
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: and comedies. Therefore you get a lot of flat characters

140
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: that nobody cares about, and all anybody can argue about

141
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: is these movies aren't funny anymore. We have to start

142
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: at the basics. Look at what American Pie did. Even

143
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: though every sequel that came after, with the reunion and

144
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: the Wedding, maybe they didn't hold up to all of

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: the standards that the first and second one did, but

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: they were still characters you were invested in. And I

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: remember seeing this movie and instantly being sucked in from

148
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: that very first opening scene. This is the only movie

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: I can really remember that I know the very first

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: song from the soundtrack. The movie opens up with the

151
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: universal logo, and this song called every Time I Look

152
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: for You by Blink within eighty two plays and that

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: is a movie moment embedded in my head. And that's

154
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: all I'm going to play before I go to podcast jail.

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: But just looking at the soundtrack of this movie, it

156
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: is very much a reflection of my musical taste. You

157
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: have that song by Blink n eighty two. You also

158
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: have some forty one both fat lip and into deep

159
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: songs like Flavor of the Week by American Hi Fi,

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: hash Pipe by Weezer, Hit or Miss by Newfound Glory.

161
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: You have the offspring all of these late nineties early

162
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: two thousands bands that are essentially the very first developments

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: of my musical taste, all on one soundtrack. That's another

164
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: thing that has really gone away is a real curation

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: of a movie soundtrack. I used to love soundtracks, and

166
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of that was due to back

167
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: in the day they would actually come out on CD

168
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: that would really you make a movie to have a

169
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: great soundtrack, but now I feel like maybe sometimes you

170
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: only get one song by one big artist to go

171
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: along with a movie. But just by looking at the

172
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: movie soundtrack, these are all still songs I still listen

173
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: to today and it would probably put on my running playlist.

174
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: I also love the story development in this movie of

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: once they all get together for they realize that everybody

176
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: has changed and things weren't the way they were in

177
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: high school. And I felt like that was a really

178
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: great thing for me to learn early on. Even at

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: the time that this movie came out, I was probably

180
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: in sixth grade. I just knew that this was gonna

181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: be something I needed to learn now. So this is

182
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: a great sequel, one of my favorite comedic sequels of

183
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: all time, and my fourth favorite movie that takes place

184
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: in summer. I'm going with American Pie Too at number

185
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: three from nineteen ninety three. It is the One, the Only,

186
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: the Great Hambino the Sandlot. The movie takes place in

187
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: the summer of nineteen sixty two. It's about a kid

188
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: named Smalls who gets taken under the wing a young

189
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: baseball prodigy known as Benny the Jet Rodriguez and his

190
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: rowdy team that plays baseball every single summer in this

191
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: Sandla and boy, they have a lot of fun doing this.

192
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: And as a kid, I was terrible at every single sport.

193
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: I was also terrible at having friends. And I would

194
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: watch this movie and think, Man, I wish I could

195
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: live in a town like that where you had a

196
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: bunch of kids who got together every single summer to

197
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: play a sport they loved. Even though everybody on the

198
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: team wasn't destined for greatness like Benny that Jet Rodriguez,

199
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: it was still like, oh, man, I would just love

200
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: to have a perfect summer like that. And this movie

201
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: is an embodiment of all the things that come along

202
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: with summer. Of course, it revolves around them playing baseball,

203
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: but then you get the life stuff too, like them

204
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: all going to the community pool and one of the

205
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: best comedic scenes of the nineties of Squints weaseling away

206
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: to get a kiss from Wendy Peppercorn. And then you

207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: also get the iconic scene of them going to the

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: fair and taking that big Chief dip, putting it in

209
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: their mouths and getting sick to their stomach and vomiting

210
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: all on that carnival ride. But hands down the best

211
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: scene in this movie that embodies summer is the fourth

212
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: of July night game scene where they have just enough

213
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: light to play a game of baseball because all of

214
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: the light given off from all the fireworks going off

215
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: in the sky with each firework that illuminates the sky,

216
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: giving them just enough visual to see the ball and

217
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: to run the bases. And what I love about the

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: scene is the foreshadowing because as they are playing their game,

219
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: all the kids get distracted by the fireworks because it's

220
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: forth of July. That's what you look forward to as

221
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: a kid, seeing all the fireworks go up in the sky,

222
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: seeing which ones make the biggest explosion, seeing which ones

223
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: that are a little underwhelming. And as all the kids

224
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: are getting distracted and forget about the game they're playing

225
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: because they're looking at all the fireworks in the sky,

226
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you see Benny the jet Rodriguez not even taking a

227
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: second look at the sky. He is continuing to run

228
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: the bases after hitting the ball, showing you in that

229
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: moment the foreshadowing that he is going to be the

230
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: only one to go on to the major leagues because

231
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: he is taking it that seriously. He doesn't even feel

232
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: like a kid in that moment because he is so

233
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: focused on the game, so focused on getting better, that

234
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the fact that there is four

235
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the July fireworks going on and he just continues to

236
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: run the basis. So that is one of my favorite

237
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: scenes and one of the best summertime scenes of all time.

238
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: So that is why I put the Sandlot at number three.

239
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: At number two is a movie from two thousand and

240
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: nine calls Adventureland. Two thousand and nine is one of

241
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: my favorite years in entertainment, whether it be movies, music,

242
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: video games. It's a year that I just associate with

243
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of good things coming out in two thousand

244
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: and nine. It was also the year I graduated high school,

245
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: so I felt like it was a very formative year

246
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: for a lot of what would go on to be

247
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: my taste in college and even now. But two thousand

248
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: and nine's adventure Land, I feel as a movie a

249
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: lot of people missed out on, and I think that's

250
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: greatly due to the marketing. I feel like they didn't

251
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: know how to sell this movie with the trailer and

252
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: all the promotional materials that were a lot more focused

253
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: on who was in the movie rather than what the

254
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: movie was about because it has a pretty stat cast,

255
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: especially for two thousand and nine, very much a snapshot

256
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: of what was going on in this year. In the

257
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: two thousand you have Jesse Eisenberg, Kristin Stewart, Ryan Reynolds,

258
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Kristin Wig, Bill Hayter, and also Martin Starr, who I

259
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: loved in Freaks and Geeks, and he's also been in

260
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: the MCU Spider Man franchise. But despite coming out in

261
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, the movie actually takes place in

262
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: the summer of nineteen eighty seven. Jesse Eisenberg plays a

263
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: college graduate whose life really hasn't gone the way he

264
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: had planned. He had all of these big visions moving

265
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: to the big city, starting a company, and doing all

266
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: these really grand things in his life, and then it

267
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: just kind of resorts to him moving back home and

268
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: taking this job at a local amusement park where you

269
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: just go if you really can't get a job anywhere else.

270
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: But that job at that amusement park ends up being

271
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: more beneficial to him in his life than college ever was.

272
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: This movie is also from the director of super Bad,

273
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's a little bit more of

274
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: a sophisticated comedy than super Bad is, where that's a

275
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: little bit more wacky and over the top. I feel

276
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: like maybe that's the reason this movie didn't have as

277
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: big a success as a super Bad, because maybe you

278
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: go into this thinking, Oh, it's gonna be a movie

279
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: that's really hilarious and funny, and all these funny people

280
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: are in it. Therefore it's gonna be just like super Bad.

281
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: It's not really like that at all. It's more of

282
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: a little slice of life movie with some comedic elements,

283
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: but really just goes on much more of an emotional

284
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: roller coaster, no pun intended, than you would expect, And

285
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: I think that is why I ended up loving this

286
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: movie so much. It also does one of the best

287
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: jobs of incorporating the soundtrack into the movie, has one

288
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: of my favorite uses of a song in a movie

289
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: of all time. Since the movie takes place in the eighties,

290
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: obviously has a lot of eighties music. My favorite eighties

291
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: band of all time is The Cure. My favorite song

292
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: of theirs is just Like Heaven. And there's a scene

293
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: in this movie where Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart's character

294
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: have this special moment writing these bumper cars and this

295
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: song plays over the top, and it's one of my

296
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: favorite scenes in any movie from the two thousand. So

297
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: I've been saying that all episode long because there are

298
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: these scenes that just stick with me throughout my life

299
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: and make me want to go back and experience summer

300
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: like this, And so I would say this movie greatly

301
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: reflects what summer I wish I would have had at

302
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: this point in my life. So that's why I put

303
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: this movie at number two, because if I could only

304
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: pick one summer to have from a movie, it would

305
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: be my number one pick, but this would definitely be

306
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: my number two pick to have this kind of summer

307
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: after going to college and going back home. So at

308
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: number two is adventure Land, but at number one the

309
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: movie I feel in Body Summer one hundred percent throughout

310
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: this entire movie. It is the nineteen ninety five now

311
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: cult comedy co written by Judd Apatow. It stars Ben

312
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: Stiller as a maniac fitness instructor who terrorizes the kid's

313
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,479
Speaker 1: fat camp until the kids overtake the camp. It is Heavyweights,

314
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like you look at this movie now

315
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: and say they couldn't make this movie today. And I

316
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: am speaking to you as a former self proclaimed fat kid.

317
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: I was overweight my entire life as far back as

318
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: I could remember, which caused me to feel like the outcast.

319
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I was bullied, picked on, made fun of, and even

320
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: now as an adult, sometimes I just revert back to

321
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: that same kid who was in third grade and thinking that, man,

322
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: life is never really going to get any better than this.

323
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm always going to be the overweight kid. And it

324
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: wasn't until I was exposed to this movie where it

325
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: actually didn't have a whole lot of success in theaters.

326
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: Disney didn't know what to do with this movie. It

327
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: was a live action movie that didn't really fit the

328
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: Disney brand, so they didn't really shelf it. But kind

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: of like what I was saying with that Ventureland, they

330
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: didn't really know how to promote this movie, and Ben

331
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Stiller didn't even want to be used in the promotional

332
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: material for this movie. He asked for his image not

333
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: to be included in the poster or the trailer. So

334
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: that was a big hit to this movie. You take

335
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: your biggest star of the movie and can't use him

336
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: when selling this movie. The original trailer was a bit

337
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: of a mess and didn't really give you what this

338
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: movie was about. And as I was saying, you think, oh,

339
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: you couldn't make this movie today. But I don't really

340
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: look at it this way. I don't really think this

341
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: movie was made with the intention of making fun of

342
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: overweight kids. And this is coming as somebody who was

343
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: overweight their entire life until they made the decision to

344
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: get healthy. And something that I struggle with a lot was,

345
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: you know, getting made fun of, and a lot of

346
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: times that happens in movies where the overweight character is

347
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: the butt of every single joke, and to be completely honest,

348
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: you get sick of it. You think, why is somebody

349
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: like me always depicted in that way, always as the bozo,

350
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 1: the one messing things up, and never the hero of

351
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: the movie. And it wasn't until Heavyweights that I realized, Look,

352
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: we can be cool, we can be the stars of movies.

353
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: This was the first time I looked at a cast

354
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: of a film, looked at the poster, and I saw

355
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: kids that look like me and were funny, and you

356
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: were able to see that, Oh, they're just regular people

357
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: and we should be telling more stories like this. So

358
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't look at this movie thinking, ah, they were

359
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: awful for making fun of overweight kids. No, I look

360
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: at this movie as yes, we have our movie. We

361
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: are able to tell our story, we are able to

362
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: take our stance and be proud of who we are

363
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: because the roles are really reversed in Heavyweights, where all

364
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: of these kids are the and the skinny ones are

365
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: the losers and the lame os and the jerks. So

366
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: I am so glad that this movie exists. You can

367
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: watch it still on Disney Plus. And if there was

368
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: one summer I could live out from any movie, it

369
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: would hands down be Heavyweights. And I haven't really seen

370
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: a movie made like this until well. I watched Theater

371
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Camp this past weekend, and I'll get into my full

372
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: review during that part of this episode. But this is

373
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: hands down the best movie to ever take place in

374
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: the summer. My number one pick goes to Heavyweights. I

375
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: do have a lot of honorable mentions. Almost sneaking into

376
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: my top five was The Parent Trap, which is a

377
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: great movie. I almost put it above Jaws, but I

378
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: guess since the fact that it was a remake made

379
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: me think, let's put an original in the top five.

380
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: But of course that story takes place because of the

381
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: switcher Rud that happens at summer camp. Also almost making

382
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: my top five was We're the Millers from twenty thirteen,

383
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: which all takes place over the Fourth of July weekend.

384
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: I feel like that's another great comedy that doesn't get

385
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: enough attention. You also have the Lizzie McGuire movie from

386
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, which took place right after they

387
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: graduated middle school and it was their summer in Rome.

388
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: Summer of two thousand and three was very significant for

389
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: me because of the Lizzie McGuire movie. I also almost

390
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: threw a different horror movie in my list, I Know

391
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: What You Did Last Summer from nineteen ninety seven. So

392
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: close would have been Independence There from nineteen ninety six,

393
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: one of the best sci fi action movies of the nineties.

394
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: You also have movies like Daste and Confused from ninety three,

395
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: My Girl from ninety one, or even Friday the Thirteenth

396
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: from nineteenth eighty. What I really think is lacking from

397
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: this list is a superhero movie, which leads me to

398
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: my next point. I have an idea for a movie

399
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: about a superhero that gains their powers on the last

400
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: day of school. I've had a lot of ideas for

401
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: superhero movies where I feel like people are saying, ah,

402
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: every superhero movie has been done and it's becoming a

403
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: little stale. I just think the formula needs to be

404
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: switched up a little bit, and we need to stop

405
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: making origin stories that are all completely the same, trying

406
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: to build another Avengers, whether it be in the MCU

407
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: or in DC. We just need to make great solo

408
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: movies that stand on their own. So my idea for

409
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: a movie, going along with our theme of the best

410
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: summer movies, is about a character who gets their powers

411
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: on the last day of school. And they have been

412
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: somebody who hasn't had a whole lot of friends, has

413
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: struggled the entire year, and they look forward to the

414
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: last day of school because that means, Okay, now I

415
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: just get to spend my time in my room and

416
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: do what I want and not be bothered by bullies

417
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: and not have to deal with schoolwork. But then that

418
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: last day of school, somehow they encounter their superhero powers.

419
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: And what you always see in superhero movies is somebody

420
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: discovers their powers and they have that whole time of like, oh,

421
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: what do I do Now? I got to be a superhero?

422
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: And eventually they do become a superhero. But I want

423
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: a story about a reluctant superhero, somebody that gets powers

424
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: and doesn't want them. They're kind of a nerdier, more

425
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: introverted person. So what would happen if a person like

426
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: that got superhero powers and thought, I'm not going to

427
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: do anything with this. I'm not telling anybody, and I'm

428
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: also not going to fight crime because just interacting with

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: people scares the crab out of me. But through the

430
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: course of this summer, they realize, oh man, it's actually

431
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: kind of my duty now to do good. And it's

432
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: them coming out of their shell in a summer, which

433
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: I think we all did as kids. The summer felt

434
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: like such a big throwing time where people were so

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: different on the last day of school versus the first

436
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: day of the next year, where somebody's gotten taller, somebody

437
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: has gone on a specific trip that has changed their

438
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: perspective on things, and everybody grew so much every summer

439
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: in middle school and in high school that I feel

440
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: like that should be represented through a superhero of somebody

441
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: who is very nerdy, timid inside their own thoughts. But

442
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: then at the end of the summer, they have had

443
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: all these adventures of becoming a superhero, but as soon

444
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: as that first day of school hits, they kind of

445
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: go back into hiding and they're not a superhero anymore

446
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: until the next summer kicks off and they go back

447
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: into superhero mode. So that is all right, we'll come back.

448
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: Kelsey is hopping in. We're gonna give our movie review

449
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: of Theater Camp, and then I'll also talk about a

450
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: new comedy called Bottoms. I'm gonna get into a spoiler

451
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: free movie review. I'm joined now by my wife and

452
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: co host Kelsey. How are you.

453
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: I'm good. I just feel like disproportionately low.

454
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: We're here, Arlo Low. You're in the director's chair.

455
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: I need to work on my posture anyways.

456
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're watching on YouTube, you can see the

457
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: difference in our chairs. So we're about to talk about

458
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Theater Camp, which before we get into what this movie

459
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: is about, I want to talk about our theater experience.

460
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: This is a movie we went to go watch at

461
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: our local community theater, nonprofit theater called the Bellcourt in Nashville.

462
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: And if you ever get a chance to visit Nashville,

463
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: and obviously because you listen to this podcast. You're a

464
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: big movie fan, I highly recommend you check out The Bellcourt.

465
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say I love the Bell Court. It's I mean,

466
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: they only have like three screens, but the snack selection

467
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: is great, is incredible and truly great.

468
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: I just love supporting an independent theater because it feels

469
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: like they care more about you.

470
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they show a lot of movies that we

471
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to see a lot of.

472
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: And a lot of foreign films, a lot of lower

473
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: budget movies like theater Camp. So, whether it be The

474
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: Bell Court, if you're in Nashville or any just local

475
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: theater that you can go support somebody who feels like

476
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: it actually matters to them that you were there. I

477
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: would say go and support them and watch movies like

478
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: theater camps. So this movie is about a struggling summer

479
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: camp for theater kids. Their founder is trying to raise

480
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: money to get a bunch of kids the ability to

481
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: be able to go to this camp, and right at

482
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: the start of it, she gets put into a coma

483
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: yes and yes. So then her son has to come

484
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: and run the camp, and then all the other people

485
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: who work at the camp are trying to let her

486
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: legacy live on.

487
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: She's not dead, she's not dead to living on. It's

488
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 3: just still living.

489
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: But they are trying to honor her through a new

490
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: play called Joan Still it is. It's a ridiculous plot

491
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: when you think about it. The whole premise of this

492
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: movie is ridiculous, but the entire thing plays out so well.

493
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: So going back to our theater experience, we watched this

494
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: in a movie theater that only holds thirty four people.

495
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the screening Room and Court.

496
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: And it was sold out. So the first thing was

497
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit claustrophobic, Yes, that we were

498
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: in the third row.

499
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 3: There's smaller rows and there's only one entrance on the side,

500
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: so you can't It's not like a bigger theater where

501
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: you can go up the stairs and go to both sides.

502
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: It's like you walk in, then you have to go

503
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: down the stairs and there's two rows behind the projector

504
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: and then three rows in front of the projector.

505
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: And I kind of felt like when either a dog

506
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: or a cat has like a bunch of people over

507
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: that they don't know, and they immediately go into like

508
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: survival mode, like what is happened? That's how I felt

509
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: so much so that I asked for us to move

510
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: from that seat to the very front row. Like with

511
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: everybody coming in the row, I just felt like they

512
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: were gonna be walking up throughout the entire movie, like

513
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: coming back out, and it was gonna be.

514
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: A pain, which I mean, I'm an ale girl. I

515
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: don't like to walk over people. I don't mind when

516
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: people have to step in front of me, but I

517
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: know that I'm gonna have to get up at some point,

518
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: so it was fine. I mean, the third row in

519
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 3: the first row and that small theater didn't really make

520
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 3: that much difference, but it did kind of feel like

521
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: the screen.

522
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, that is normally why I'm not

523
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: a front row person, but I felt because this theater

524
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: room was so small that it wouldn't have had that

525
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: big of an impact. I was okay with it. I

526
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: like being engulfed in a screen.

527
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: It was a short movie, but I did laugh when

528
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: the guy next to us came in with the snacks,

529
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: sat down next to his girlfriend and whispered, I don't

530
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: think I've ever said this close to a screen in.

531
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: My entire We were very close, but with those thirty

532
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: four people filling out this theater. I really feel like

533
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: that added to the level of community in this movie.

534
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 3: It was a sense of camaraderie. We all enjoyed the movie.

535
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: It was a big bonding experience to where I feel

536
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: like watching it with that amount of people really made

537
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: this movie a lot funnier. It made it more of

538
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: an experience. And what I loved about theater camp is

539
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: what I always look for in a comedy like this

540
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: is how many jokes do they attempt throughout the entire movie,

541
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: like the per capita, Like how many are they firing

542
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: out hitting on They don't really have to hit on

543
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: every joke for me, but the fact that they keep

544
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: attempting jokes and throwing things out there that are comedic.

545
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: It's not about how many punches you land. It's about

546
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: how many attempts you have when it comes to me

547
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: in comedy movies, and I feel like throughout this entire

548
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: movie it was just one after the other.

549
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: That's a good boxing reference is that because we've been

550
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: boxing on the weekends exactly feel like our instructures would

551
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: appreciate them.

552
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: And the other thing about this movie and about comedies nowadays,

553
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: is people say you can't really make a funny movie anymore.

554
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: I think with theater camp shows is you can't. You

555
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: have to be a little bit more niche when it

556
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: comes to making a comedy. And I think that's why

557
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: this movie is resonating with so many people, because it's

558
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: very much a relatable movie to anybody who did the theater.

559
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't even a theater kid. I take the back

560
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: my starring role in the eighth grade. I was at

561
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: a new school. I thought if I joined the play,

562
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: I would make friends. Spoiler alert. It didn't work, and

563
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: I was in the Hobbit and my only line was

564
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 3: to hiss on stage?

565
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little of that? No?

566
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: Thank you.

567
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: But I'm not a theater kid either. I aspired to be,

568
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: but I wasn't extroverted enough to be a theater kid

569
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: like I think personality wise, I was more like I identified

570
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: with that, but as far as actually being in plays

571
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: and singing in musicals, I was not a theater kid.

572
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: You were the theater tech. Orn't.

573
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have been more of the tech in

574
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: this movie, But I still feel like it was so

575
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: relatable to anybody who was in theater or was around

576
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: it and knew about it. Like, I feel like that

577
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: is what you have to do to make a comedy

578
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: is be a lot more relatable to a very select

579
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: group of people, so much so that even like us

580
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: who weren't theater kids, you can watch this movie and

581
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: really appreciate it.

582
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: It's relatable in the sense that, like if you were

583
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: ever a kid that like kind of had a niche

584
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: and didn't fit in, Like I was a super nerdy kid,

585
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: I could be friends with a lot of people, but

586
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: like I was nerdy. I didn't do sports. I was

587
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: president of the math club. Like just the hits just

588
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: kept coming on, like the nerdiness for me. And I

589
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: feel like I could relate to this movie because they're

590
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: just they're a bunch of odd balls.

591
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the other thing about it is if you

592
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: don't relate to the theater part, maybe you relate to

593
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: the camp part. And another thing, I never went to

594
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: summer camp. Did you ever go to any summer camps?

595
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: And then you're not missing out on much.

596
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: What kind of summer camp did you go to?

597
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: I went to a lot of church camps. Okay, I

598
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 3: broke my wrist at a church camp.

599
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Ah, is that what your wrist is? The way it is.

600
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, did a lot of church camps. I'm trying to

601
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: think if I did anything else.

602
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: If you were to go to camp now as an adult,

603
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: what kind of camp would you go to. I think

604
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I would want to go to like a space camp

605
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: with a high focus on aliens, where you like watch

606
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: the skies and try find anything weird. You learn about

607
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: UFOs and have like this bonding experience just learning about

608
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: alien creatures. I think that would be fun to me.

609
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: As a summer camp as an adult anyway, I.

610
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 3: Would like to go to on site here in Nashville

611
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: it was just basically a therapy camp. As an adult

612
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: therapy camp sounds amazing.

613
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: I would actually probably benefit a lot from a therapy camp.

614
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: And they take your phones or really is like summer camp.

615
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: The worst part of summer camp was just that you

616
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: gave up any modern convenience, Like there was no air.

617
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 3: You're bringing like a clip on fan, everyone smells. They're

618
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: sending you to bed at like midnight, and then it's

619
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: like up at six point thirty for the next day.

620
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: I need my beauty sleep. That is not enough sleep.

621
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: Well, you just described where my summer's in Mexico. That

622
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: is exactly it. It's hot, people smell you, go to

623
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: sleep really late, there's no air conditioning. That is my

624
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: summer else. Okay, but maybe I went to summer camp.

625
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: It was just Mexico.

626
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 3: But the food was better in Mexico, was it not?

627
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's true.

628
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: Way, the summer camp food is not good. It's just

629
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of like teenagers serving you over baked t

630
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: lasagna made for four hundred.

631
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: I ate a lot of swine in Mexico. But it

632
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: was also the result of me getting very sick as

633
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a kid. The sickest I ever got was in Mexico

634
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: once summer.

635
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: I told this story before where.

636
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: I started hallucinating and I saw a little a little

637
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: leprechaun clapping that I was so out of my mind.

638
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's why now as an adult, I

639
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: don't really get sick that often. Because I drank the

640
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: water in Mexico, I ate the food, got so sick,

641
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: and now I'm like immune to some diseases.

642
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: Two thoughts, one little lepre console were redundant. I feel

643
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: like you.

644
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: No, it was a little leprechaun. Okay too, his hands.

645
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: That is why you have the immune system of steel.

646
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: What's frustrating is you never get sick from me, but

647
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: when you get sick, I get sick.

648
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is unfortunate.

649
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: It's very unfortunate. But all right, back to the back

650
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: to the movie.

651
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: But you look at the cast in this movie, and

652
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: it's a lot of characters that you don't really think

653
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: go together, but when you see them all on screen

654
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: and all together, so well, so good.

655
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of the people know each other or

656
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 3: like have worked together. Yeah, two of the writers were

657
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: Ben Platt, Noah Galvin. They're engaged. And then Molly Gordon

658
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 3: and I feel like Molly Gordon's spend something of Ben

659
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: Platt and she was on the Bear she so she

660
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: was already knew one of the other characters in the

661
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: movie who came in as like a new camp counselor

662
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: who lied on her resume and it was hilarious.

663
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Tatrow plays the son of Joan in

664
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: this movie, who takes over the camp and is trying

665
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: to run it. But he's very much like a bro influencer,

666
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: want to be like crypto.

667
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: Guy, and he's a bitcoin guy.

668
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: And he has no idea how to run the camp.

669
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: And I've been a fan of his since like the

670
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: YouTube days, like twenty tens. YouTube was so influential on me,

671
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: and he's really been like consistently doing things throughout the

672
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: twenty tens, so much so that YouTube isn't even his

673
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: main focus anymore. Now. He's done a lot of movies.

674
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: I think his biggest thing has probably been American Vandal

675
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: on Netflix, where a bunch of people like starting to

676
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: recognize him. But I feel like he is a person

677
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: who's just been grinding for so long now, and I

678
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't say this is a typical role I would have

679
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 1: expected of him. I see him more like he was

680
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: in twenty two Jump Street, but this is I feel like,

681
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: more of his wheelhouse. I feel like he is able

682
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: to show a lot of the side that he shows

683
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: on his YouTube channel in this character. And I feel

684
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: like he was my favorite part of this movie.

685
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: He was so good that. And then the girl from

686
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: the Bear that's in this who's been in everything.

687
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Aoa Debrie, who is gonna be in another movie

688
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm out to talk about in the next trailer, who

689
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: I feel is just in a lot of things right now.

690
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: And I kind of feel like there's this new Hollywood

691
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: class slowly creeping up in movies and TV.

692
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: She has such a like recognizable face now from all

693
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: the things, and then she voiced in Teenage Mutant Ninja

694
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: turnle Yes. She was able to be in everything lately.

695
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: And I think she does so well in comedies, and

696
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, now there is a slight shift on

697
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: slowly making a return, which I'll get into more when

698
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about bottoms. But this movie really made me

699
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: feel that, where throughout this entire movie, everybody in our

700
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: theater was laughing. The entire time I was cackling.

701
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 3: There were just.

702
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: Ridiculous moments, the rememberable songs, especially like the finale song.

703
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: Camp Isn't Home.

704
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: It was such a great moment in a movie that

705
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: I feel like, look, you can make great comedies if

706
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: you focus on one specific thing. And it also reminded

707
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: me of one of my favorite movies of all time

708
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: that I was talking about earlier, Heavyweights. This kind of

709
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: felt like that, but instead of a camp for overweight kids,

710
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: it was a camp for all these theater kids. Similar struggles.

711
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: They have the outcasts, you have the big corporation trying

712
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: to take you down, trying to close this camp. So

713
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: kind of the same plot lines of the underdogs from

714
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: Heavyweights are the underdogs in Theater Camp. So I think

715
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: that's also why if you are a fan of movies

716
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: about underdog stories, this is a great one for you too.

717
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: So anything else I missed about this movie that you loved.

718
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: With seeing some of the funny parts in the trailer,

719
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: like there were still laughable moments, because I know that's

720
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: kind of a thing. I feel like that happened to

721
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: a lot of Melissa McCarthy's movies. Yeah, all the good

722
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: jokes where they would show all the good jokes in

723
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: the trailer and then you go to the movie and

724
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: you're like, I've already seen that, and that's not her fault,

725
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 3: that's just whoever produces the trailers. But I thought that

726
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: this movie still made me laugh despite all of the

727
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: funny parts, and the funny parts that they showed in

728
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: the trailer were what made me want to go see

729
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: the movie. Yeah, so it brought me in. But then

730
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 3: they still kept me laughing, and.

731
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: I still found myself laughing at the jokes that were

732
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: in the trailer because they were still funny in context.

733
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: They were funny which rarely happened. So I really loved

734
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: this movie. If you had to give theater camp a rating,

735
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: what would you give it?

736
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 3: Four point five out of five tap dances.

737
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Oh, that's good, I think. I think I'm right between

738
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: that four and four and a half.

739
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: Which would be a four point two five.

740
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go four point five, okay,

741
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think I would give it a four if

742
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: I watched it on my own. But I think that

743
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: point five is that community experience of watching this movie

744
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: with other people and adding to that level of humor.

745
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: When you see other people laughing and hear other people laughing,

746
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: it makes you want to laugh more.

747
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: It was also a very diverse group, yeah, which was fun.

748
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: And I think that that is how comedy should be

749
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: seen now. And it's harder to get people into a

750
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: theater to watch a comedy like this, especially with not

751
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of marketing. There's no a list star

752
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: in this movie.

753
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 3: I would bag that Ben Platts. He's not a list,

754
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 3: but in the theater community, he's a list.

755
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

756
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 3: So like this movie is targeted towards If you were

757
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: looking at the target of this movie, which is probably

758
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: theater kids and theater lovers, Ben Platt is an a lister,

759
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: which we also saw Ben Plat at a restaurant here

760
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 3: one time.

761
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: Oh, we did see a meeting. That was one of

762
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: those moments where we're pretty good at picking out where people.

763
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: So good at it, and we're like really good at

764
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: just kind of like that, just kind of like look

765
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 3: at each other really.

766
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: And sometimes people just look famous and you know, and

767
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: you go through your rolodex of like who could that be?

768
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: And that was when we were like, ah, that's who

769
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: that is. But I feel like it's just pretty chill.

770
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, I give it a four point five

771
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: out of five. Throat Coat packets, which was another thing

772
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: that was very It was so specific. There's a joke

773
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: where it reminded me again of Heavyweights whenever they were

774
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: like confiscating all of like the fast food they were

775
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: getting in from outside the camp. The joke here is

776
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: that they have the throat coat, which is tea that

777
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: you drink to help your voice. A lot of performers

778
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: use it, and just that joke that I don't really

779
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: that's like, yeah that I don't. I don't really identify

780
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: with that as far as like knowing what that does

781
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: for your voice. But I just love that joke in there.

782
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: It was great.

783
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: It was good. I know there's so many other things,

784
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: but I don't want to give it all away. But

785
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: there's one scene where they're all doing auditions for a plane.

786
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 3: This one kid just sings something out of left field.

787
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I won't say what it is, but it

788
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: just it's Chef's.

789
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: Kiss hit me in the heart. But that is our

790
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: review of Theater Camp. Anything you want to say before

791
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: you go.

792
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 3: Go see it, go see it at your local indie theater.

793
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 3: We love the Bell Court so much we are going

794
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 3: there tonight see a movie.

795
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: So it's time to head down to movie Mike.

796
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: Trailer Paul. I want to talk about a new comedy

797
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: coming out on August twenty fifth called Bottoms, and it

798
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: is an R rated comedy. I know that kids listen

799
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: to this podcast, and I'm not about to say any

800
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: dirty words, but obviously when talking about an R rated,

801
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: raunchy comedy, we'll get into some areas here that maybe

802
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: if you're not allowed to watch R rated comedies, this

803
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: may not be the trailer park for you. So that

804
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: is just my warning going into talking about this movie.

805
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm not about to start like cursing and ripping out

806
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: a different side of me that you're not used to.

807
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: It's just when talking about the premise of this movie,

808
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: you get into some adult themes right at the beginning

809
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: of this because it is about two unpopular best friends

810
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: named PJ and Josie who start a high school fight

811
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: club in order to meet girls and lose their v card.

812
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: I almost feel like this is a resurgence in a

813
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: way of the raunchy two thousand's late nineties comedy that

814
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: really ran rampant without having to check themselves in any way.

815
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: And sometimes you look back on some of those movies

816
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: and think, oo, how are they able to make some

817
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: of those Some of those things would not fly today.

818
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: But I also feel like back in the day you

819
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: weren't able to tell it from this perspective where it

820
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: is two girls trying to hook up with other girls,

821
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: and it's just a new take on a story that

822
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: we're familiar with. And by the looks of this trailer,

823
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: it looked like it could be one of the funniest

824
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: movies in this genre. So before I get into more

825
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: of my thoughts, here's just a little bit of the

826
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: Bottoms trailer. I'm gonna expel you both for committing a

827
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: crime against Jeff did out of the car. Can't tell

828
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: me what to do.

829
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: We were just practicing it for ourself defense club.

830
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: So it's like a fight club.

831
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Yes, just stay in your lane until you're latching. Beavert Wesleyan, Yes, sir,

832
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: what's your plan here? Jeff's caught it and they're picking

833
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: on the week and defenseless. So we teach a bunch

834
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: of girls how to defend themselves. They are grateful to us.

835
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: Adrenaline is flowing. Next thing you know Isabelle and are

836
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: kidding as a mouse. So I feel like now our

837
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: rated comedies specifically are making a comeback. They are just

838
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: a little bit fewer and further between, and they look

839
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot different now. They look like movies like Bottoms,

840
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: where you have characters that really haven't been at the

841
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: forefront of a movie. And I, for one, feel like

842
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: it is so refreshing to not have the same comedy

843
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: made over and over again. And I feel like when

844
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: we wonder why don't they make movies like super Bad anymore, Well,

845
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: it's because you can't keep making the same comedy over

846
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: and over and keep getting people to laugh at them.

847
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: You have to look at different people from different walks

848
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: of life and focus on something completely different, and sometimes

849
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: people don't like that. So you want to make the

850
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: same comedy over and over again. Okay, but nobody's gonna

851
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: watch it. That is why I think everybody should be

852
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: taking note of Bottoms and the rise of R rated

853
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: comedies has been seen a lot in the last five

854
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: years where almost you have to go really really raunchy,

855
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: to the point that you're gonna turn some people away

856
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: who don't like these type of movies, but the people

857
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: who do enjoy them are really going to lean into

858
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: it if you go all out. I'm thinking of movies

859
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: like Good Boys, even Deadpool, which has changed the way

860
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: that we think of superhero movies, and the fact that

861
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: it's R rated but also has a lot of comedy

862
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: and action throughout. You almost have to give audiences something

863
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more to chew on, or even movies

864
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: like BookSmart that really reinvented what super Bad was but

865
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: gave it a different spin, much like Bottoms is doing now.

866
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the American Pie, but through the

867
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: perspective of two girls. Even just this year with Jennifer

868
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence and no hard feelings. You have strays which is

869
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: coming out in theaters, or even movies like in twenty

870
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: eighteen Game Night, Triangle of Sadness Bros. Or even one

871
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: of my favorites, Jackass Forever, or even movies that aren't

872
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: just straight ahead comedies like the Banshees of in a Sheeran,

873
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: which by no means is a wacky comedy from like

874
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: the nineties or two thousands era, but on paper that

875
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: movie made me laugh more so than any other straight

876
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: ahead comedy in the last three years. So I feel

877
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: like now you can't just make the same comedy you've

878
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: been making for so long. So you have to have

879
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: a great cast, a great director, and a great story.

880
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: And I heard Adam Devine talking recently about how Marvel

881
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: has ruined the comedy. Adam Divine, who you may know

882
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 1: from Workaholics Mike and Dave need Wedding Dates. He's also

883
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: right now on The Righteous Gemstones. He was in Pitch

884
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Perfect one and two. But he was on an episode

885
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: of THEO Vaughn's podcast recently saying that he thinks the

886
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: reason Marvel has killed the comedy is because we all

887
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: go into the movie theater expecting to see something that

888
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: looks like it costs two hundred million dollars to make.

889
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: And I'm paraphrasing this a bit, but essentially saying that

890
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: it feels like you're getting ripped off if you go

891
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: and watch a comedy which doesn't have all those same

892
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: bellows and whistles like a two hundred million dollar movie would.

893
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: So it feels like, why would I pay fifteen dollars

894
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: to watch an okay comedy when I could pay those

895
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: same fifteen dollars and see something larger than life. I

896
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: think there is some truth to that, where it feels

897
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: like comedies, romantic comedies, or even some indie dramas or

898
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: Oscar Baby movies feel like when you go watch them

899
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: in theaters. It's not that you're getting an inferior product.

900
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like the viewing experience isn't always enhanced

901
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: by going to see it in the theater. With some

902
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: of those movies, you get a much more enjoyable experience

903
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: if you just watch them in the comfort of your

904
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: own home. So I feel like you should always have

905
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: the decision to watch what you want to watch, how

906
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: you want to watch it. I would argue, though, that

907
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: some comedies like theater camp we were talking about earlier,

908
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: are enhanced by watching them in a crowd only if

909
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: they are done correctly and are actually quality comedies. If not,

910
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: there is nothing worse than going to see a comedy

911
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: in theaters that is not funny and that you want

912
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: to walk out of because it is so oh so bad.

913
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: And the benefit of watching a bad comedy at home

914
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: is you can just turn it off and never think

915
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: about it again. So yes, maybe in some aspects our

916
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: expectations have changed when going to the movie theater, But

917
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: I really think it comes down to the quality of

918
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: movies being made in the comedy space, which also has

919
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: to do with what studios want to invest in, and

920
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: they're not really investing in comedy so much anymore, so

921
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: therefore you get kind of an inferior product. So I

922
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's a direct correlation of superhero movies ruining everything.

923
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody just always wants to blame Marvel for

924
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: ruining the movie industry, when really they have saved it

925
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: time and time again getting people back into those seats,

926
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: so really they've probably kept it alive in the last decade.

927
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: To be honest, you just have to adapt and you

928
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: have to give people something a little bit more. He

929
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: also went on to say in that interview that you

930
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: have to mask it. You have to give it an

931
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: action quality, you have to give it a horror quality.

932
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: So much like in today's world, where you just can't

933
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: be one thing anymore, you gotta do a lot of

934
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: things really well to get people's attentions. Or you can

935
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: make a movie like Bottoms, where you have all of

936
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: those same mechanics and familiarities of the comedies we all

937
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: know and love, but give it a unique spin and

938
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: have it speak to an audience that hasn't had a

939
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: movie like this to represent them. And this trailer was

940
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: also played in our theater when we went to go

941
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: see Theater Camp. And I've never heard people laugh so

942
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: much throughout a trailer of a movie. And I'm hoping

943
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: that much like Theater Camp, they didn't show all the

944
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: funniest parts in this one. I can't wait to see

945
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: it again. The movie is called Bottoms, it's rated R,

946
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 1: and it's coming out on August twenty fifth.

947
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: And that was this week's edition of Movie by Framer

948
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: Bar And.

949
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: That's going to do it for another episode here of

950
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: the podcast but before I go, I got to give

951
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: my listeners shout out, which I do every single week.

952
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: This week, I am going over to my Facebook page,

953
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: which is Facebook slash Mike cadistro Or. I posted the

954
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: question I like to get your opinions on my topics

955
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: every single week as well. The question was what is

956
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: your favorite movie that takes place in the summer. My

957
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: shout outs come to me from the comments you have.

958
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: Ashley Kemper, who also agreed with the Sandlot, but also

959
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: throughout stand by Me, which probably should have made my

960
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: honorable mentions. Josh Yee said a goofy movie, which is

961
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time. I think

962
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: if I hadn't just ran it about that movie in

963
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: a recent episode, it would have made my list. Maybe

964
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: because it's animated, it doesn't really speak to me in

965
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: the same way that some of the live action summer

966
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: movies do, even though that movie takes place after his

967
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: last day of school and one of the greatest road

968
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: trips of all time. And Susan Bye said Dirty Dancing.

969
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: But that is a movie I watched once and I

970
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: didn't really get it. I don't really get the iconicness

971
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: of Dirty Dancing except probably for that final scene, that

972
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: final dance number. Aside from that, that's not really a

973
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: movie that screams summer to me. So I will end

974
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: my thought on Dirty Dancing with that and anticipate all

975
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: the hate I will get in the comments and messages

976
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: in regards to that comment. So thank you for listening.

977
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: Hope you have a great rest of your week, and

978
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: until next time, go out and watch good movies and

979
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 1: I will talk to you later.
