13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking on MTV.

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Who's classes from the Nashville Podcast Network. Is Movie Movie Podcast?

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: All right? So we're about to get into our mount

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: rushmore of Christmas movies. And if you are new to

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: the podcast, maybe haven't heard my wife Kelsey on the

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: podcast before. You've been on this as my girlfriend, as

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: my fiance and now my wife. So and it's been

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: a while, but I wanted you to come onto the

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Christmas episode one because you are a much bigger fan

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: of Christmas than I am. It's talking married buddy, yes,

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: And I think you also have a whole different perspective

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: on Christmas movies because for me, they're not my favorite,

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: but I have some that I I love to watch

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: every single year. So we're each going to give our

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: four movies that if we can only watch these around

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: the holidays, these are the movies we would pick our

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies. And we'll start with our

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln slot. Who are you putting on your Ford slot?

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: On your Mount Rushmore? The Holiday? Why that movie? It's

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: a classic, just good romcom, great cast, Jude Low, Jack Black,

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: Kate Winslet, Karen Diaz, just a good story. I watched

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: that one with you for the first time. You fell asleep.

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: I didn't fall asleep. And that's the thing about me

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: with Christmas movies is I feel like, at the core room,

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: they still have to be good movies, and I know

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: we get into wanting to watch the same things every

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: single year and our favorites, and that one, I don't know.

43
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's more of like a rom com Christmas movie, right, yes,

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: And I guess for me, I don't really like rom coms.

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan. I'm just all out Christmas movies,

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: so that one was tough for me. But I watched

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: it because you love it. When did you decide that

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: was one of your favorite Christmas movies when it came out? Really? Yeah,

49
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: that's great rewatchability. Okay, Yeah, I wouldn't put that anywhere

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: towards my time. You don't like rom comms in general, though, Yeah,

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: but the story in that one, how would you know

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: the story? You fell asleep? I remember most of it, don't, Okay?

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: On my Abraham Lincoln slot, I'm gonna put a Christmas

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: story and I think that one whenever I put this

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: out online, of like people having to make the decision

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: to cut, like one of the biggest for Christmas movies,

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: this is the one people liked least. Yeah, I cut

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: it because I've still never seen it, Okay, and I'm

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: almost eight, And that's crazy to me because this movie

60
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: comes on TBS all day on Christmas Day. My mom

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: loves it. We've just never watched it, and I think

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: that's what it is for me when it comes to

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Christmas movies. Is one that this is like the Forest

64
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Gump of Christmas movies to me, is that you can

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: watch it basically at any point. I think, even before

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: I watch it in its entirety, I had seen it

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: in pieces for so many years. And it just has

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: a lot of great quotes. I think it's a very iconic,

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: just not just the Christmas movie, but just in general.

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Like of movies that people can quote out of anything

71
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: they've ever seen, this one has a lot. And I

72
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: can see why some people would maybe think it's long

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: and boring because it is kind of it's pretty old school.

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: You're really hyping it up. But it's a classic. And

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: that's what I think about when I think about great

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Christmas movies and movies that the entire family can watch,

77
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: and movies that we've had with us for so long,

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: you go to long and boring. Yes, I don't think

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: it's boring to me, but I can see why somebody

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: else would watch this Szmula and it's not my favorite.

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: I think it's funny. I think it has a great

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: message and it just has that Christmas feeling to me.

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: So my number four slot, I'll put a Christmas story.

84
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: Moving on now to our number three slot, in our

85
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt, what would you put there? I'm really conflicted

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: between my number two and my number three, but I

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: think for number three, I'm gonna put four. Christmas is

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: and that is another one you made me watch and

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I ended up liking. It's so funny. It is funny,

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you need in a Christmas movie.

91
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: That if it's a good comedy. I think that's a

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: good a good pick. There's so many good quotable lines. Yeah,

93
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: well that we probably can't say, is it's a rated

94
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: R one, right, I don't think it's rated R. I

95
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: think it's PG thirteen. I don't feel like any of

96
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: the quotes that there's one quote that I say bad,

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: but it's it is not the most family friendly. What

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: do you think about the cast on that excellent? Yeah,

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: it's got Tim McGraw, Yeah, a very unrecognizable Tim McGraw.

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the movie he says he can't watch

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: because he doesn't like the way he looks in it.

102
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I enjoyed that movie. I mean, you've got

103
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Reese Frotherspoon, Vince Vaughn, Tim McGraw, Mary Steen, Virgin Kristen

104
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: schennawith a lot of people in it, a lot of

105
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: people in it. That's one I will re watch with you.

106
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: This this Christmas great. We'll watch it this week, all

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: right on my Theodore Roosevelt slot. In my third slot here,

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm going also with the comedy, and I'm going with

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Bad Santa, a movie that I made you watch. And

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: why I love this movie is because I have to

111
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: watch it every year, like it's not Christmas to me

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: unless I watch Bad Santa, and I will it's not

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: Christmas unless I watch Bad This is a rated AR

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. But outside of what makes the movie RATEDAR,

115
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a great message here. It's about Billy

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Bob Thorton's character, who plays a mall Santa, this disgruntled dude,

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: and the only reason he does it so he can

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: rob the stories after he's done with that that shift

119
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: there at that being that Christmas Sanda. But you take

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: him being this bitter old dude only caring about him,

121
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: caring about himself and kind of learning what it is

122
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: to like care for somebody else in terms of a

123
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: kid in this movie, and I think it has a

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: great message at the end of it. And it's funny.

125
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: What's the line you quote about sandwiches? All the kid

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: in the movie loves sandwiches? You want me to make

127
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you some sandwiches? Him and his his grandma who takes

128
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: care of him, and they love sandwiches. You said that

129
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: to me one time, and I was like, sure, it's

130
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: a quote from Bad Santa. I was like, oh, okay, well,

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: I still want a sandwich. I quote the movie a lot.

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to actors who have passed away

133
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: her in it, Bernie mac and John Ritter, and I

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: think two of their best movie roles I've ever watched

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: for them. So there's a lot of reasons I love

136
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: this movie. And when it comes to Christmas movies, I

137
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: want something that will make me laugh and outside of

138
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: the Christmas theme, it's just a good movie. So my

139
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: number three slot, I'm going with Bad Santa up next

140
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: the Thomas Jefferson slot. In our second slot of our

141
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore Christmas Movies. What are you going with, Kelsey?

142
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna go with By buddy, I hope you've earned

143
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: your dad with Elf, a new modern classic, and this

144
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: is like I think of you so much when I

145
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: think of Elf now, Like I liked the movie before,

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: but I think but I think it was you and

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: how you would go watch this movie every single year

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. The quote alongs which

149
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: is I just associated with you? Now? Yeah, when we

150
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: moved me from Austin to Nashville, me cleaned out like

151
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: my apartment in my car. I had like ten Santa

152
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: hats that they give you with the Elf quote along.

153
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: So fun. Yeah, this is a this is a good one.

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: This one didn't make my list. That's fine, it made mine,

155
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: but I think it was very close for me, probably

156
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: because I think why it didn't make my list it

157
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: is newer. I also feel like this is one that

158
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not really Christmas until you watch it, like for you. Absolutely,

159
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: like my family love self, we will watch it several times.

160
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: My mom has already. I don't know if I've told

161
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: you this, but um, on Christmas morning, you and I

162
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: and my brothers will be rocking matching shirts with the

163
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: narwhale on it that says the bye Buddy, so there's

164
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: matching elf T shirts. Yeah. I love this movie would

165
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: have almost made my list, but I can totally see

166
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: why I would make yours love that pick. On my

167
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: second slot, I'm gonna go with How the Grin Stole Christmas.

168
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: And I think it's probably of all the years we'd

169
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: watch this in school, and it just feels like Christmas

170
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: to me, unlike any other Christmas movie because of the

171
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: world of who Bill that creates this Christmas vibe, and

172
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: everything about this movie just feels warm. It feels like,

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess because it's the Doctor Seue story.

174
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: It's just Jim Carrey as the Grinch is just so

175
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: a character of its own that kind of transcends any

176
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: other Christmas movie that there's something about this movie that

177
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: just feels different. It feels like a like the book

178
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: come to life. And when it comes to just big

179
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: Christmas movies, I don't think any other one has matched this.

180
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: There's just so much production behind this one. There's so

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: much in the wardrobe and the set design and the script,

182
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: like everything about this movie is just so big, and

183
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: it's at the core of it just a really good

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Christmas movie and a good lesson. That's the first Christmas

185
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: movie you and I ever watched together. Yeah, that too,

186
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I remember that too, that that feeling of watching it

187
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: with you for the first time. I don't know. This

188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: movie just makes me feel good. And I another one

189
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: that I just have to see every single year, and

190
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: that we'll probably watch here soon. We've got a lot

191
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: of Christmas, a lot of Christmas movies to watch. We

192
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: should probably wrap up this podcast to get to watching

193
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. So let's get to our final picks.

194
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: The George Washington your number one pick in your Mount

195
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Rushmore at Christmas movies? What do you got? You're going

196
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: to roll your eyes at me. The Family Stone and

197
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I there are going to be so many people that

198
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: probably despise me after hearing that gets my first pick,

199
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: but it is and I'm not sorry for that. So,

200
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: like myself, I hadn't seen this movie before you. Maybe

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: other people don't know exactly what this movie is, So

202
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: if you had to describe it, what is The Family

203
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Stone about? Okay? So it's Sarah Jessica Parker is Dermott

204
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: Mulroney's girlfriend, and she's going home to meet his family

205
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: for Christmas and it's his like dysfunctional family and all

206
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: of their dynamics and just it's a good like I

207
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: just love it in a Christmas moviehere, it's like a

208
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: big family where all the siblings come home. It's just

209
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: warm and happy and but it's polarizing. And I've said

210
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: this before because everyone hates Sarah Jessica Parker's character. My

211
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: favorite movie. My mom and I will watch it every year.

212
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: It's just the best. Okay. Is it also a thing

213
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: of just you and your mom kind of the bond

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: you have with her and watching this movie together that

215
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: makes it special? Probably? Okay, I would say that's fair.

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: But I feel like everyone has the same with you

217
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: with watching the Grench in school, Like everyone has memories

218
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: with Christmas movies, and that's what makes them special. I

219
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: feel like, more so than the movie itself, like something

220
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: with Elf. You've seen it every year more than once

221
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: for eighteen years now. It's not that funny, but its

222
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: bond in the memory with the movie and the season

223
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: and the spirit of the season. And just looking at

224
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: both of our lists, these are all movies that came

225
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: out fifteen, almost twenty years ago. On all these now

226
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: makes me feel really old. So it's also a thing

227
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: of movies that have been with us for so long.

228
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, no movie in the last ten years has

229
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: made our list. So I feel like Elf was probably

230
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: the last classic, like modern day classic, and everything before

231
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: then has been nineties and eighties before that. So I

232
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: get that. I can see why that would be your

233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: I know how special that movie is to you. I

234
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever be one of my favorites, but

235
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: if you want to watch it, I will watch you

236
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: with you. And that's okay there. We don't have to

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: agree on everything, like I will never love the Simpsons,

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: but I will watch it for you. I will put

239
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: an entire box of Simpson's ornaments on our Christmas as

240
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: much as it pains me, which shout out to my mother,

241
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for buying those. In the beginning of

242
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: a relationship with my mom was like trying to win

243
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Mike's heart. Is like his future mother in law. She

244
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: just want a little overboard on the Simpsons stuff. But

245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: you love and I'm a little like, I mean, we're

246
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: sitting at this desk now with this Homer Simpsons had

247
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: that she got me, Oh my gosh, she was so excited,

248
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: and you have a Simpson stalking at our house. What

249
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: my mom got you? Here we go. So my final

250
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: pick the George Washington slot, my number one Mountain Rushmore

251
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Christmas movies is Home Alone. Yes. I think it's the

252
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: quintessential Christmas movie. If anybody argues that it's not a

253
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Christmas movie, I think you're just arguing for the sake

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: of arguing. I talked to the director, Chris Columbus on

255
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: this podcast if you missed that interview, Yeah, straight up

256
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: asked him, is it a Christmas movies? Like yes, Like

257
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: we made it out to be a Christmas movie. All

258
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: the fine little details in the movie are all geared

259
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: towards Christmas, and I think it's aside from that, it's

260
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: just a good movie. So why you would see it

261
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: on in different times of the year, it's because at

262
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: its core it's still a good movie. I just think

263
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: it's the Christmas movie that I watch without even trying

264
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: because it's either on TV or I just see it

265
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus like pop up already that we're just

266
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna watch it. So and I also like, out of

267
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: all these movies, aside from Bad Santa, like it's a

268
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: family movie. But that's also funny, like it's not gonna

269
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: like make you l O l like laugh every single

270
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: time now after seeing it so much. But I think

271
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: at its core it's a funny movie, like the slapstick humor,

272
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: the dome stuff in the movie, the little details, and

273
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: it still makes me, maybe not outwardly laugh out loud,

274
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: but it's funny. So I think it's the best Christmas

275
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: movie ever made, and it's my number one bold state

276
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: never made casually into that review on no No, I

277
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: just think it's the best. Like no other movie really

278
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: compares to the level of this one, of how long

279
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's lasted, how much it made at the box office,

280
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: it was like number one forever, and I think it's

281
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: really unmatched. I don't think there's another movie that comes

282
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: close to that when it comes to Christmas movies, because

283
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: it's it's better than just a Christmas movie. It's just

284
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: a great movie. So number one pick, I'm going with

285
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: Home Alone. Do you have an honorable mention serendipity? Okay,

286
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's when I wasn't expecting to

287
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: like it is a rom com, but I think there's

288
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: another level of that to where it's just a good movie.

289
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Outside of it being a Christmas movie, I made you

290
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: watch a lot. I think we watched every Christmas movie

291
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: under the sunlight we watch Christmas, but a lot that

292
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: you've never seen. There was no one nothing like the Holidays.

293
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: I really like that's the one with Alfred Molina right

294
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: right and John Zambo and up Massing. Yeah, I really

295
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: like that one. Never seen it before, I think my

296
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: honorable mention. It's not a straight up Christmas movie that

297
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: you could probably find anywhere. And I don't know why

298
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: it was so important to my family, but Christmas Eve

299
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: on Sesame Street basically just the Christmas special for Sesame Street,

300
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: but we watch it every single year while we unwrap presents,

301
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: and it's a great movie. I think even one year

302
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: we were able to find like a DVD version of

303
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: it on eBay and we watched that thing every single

304
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: year because you couldn't really watch it on TV anymore.

305
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: So that's always I think you can watch it on

306
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: YouTube now if you just search it up. But that

307
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: is like my other favorite one that's not really your

308
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: average Christmas movie. And if you haven't seen and if

309
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: you have kids who love Sesame Street or just looking

310
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: for something completely different to watch the songs and that

311
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: are so good, and also just the story about it

312
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: is so good. So that's my honorable mention. I feel

313
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: like that's something we had in common too, was our

314
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: love of like Sesame Street. Our future children will watch,

315
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: they will be allowed to watch. Yes, that's but anyway,

316
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: those are our picks for our mount rushingmare of Christmas movies.

317
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: You have one you would want to add, or you

318
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: want to share yours, just hit me up on Twitter

319
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: at Mike Destro with your picks. All right, let's get

320
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: into a spoiler free movie review now. I want to

321
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: talk about Being the Ricardos, which is out in select

322
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: theaters now, it'll be out on Amazon starting on December

323
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty one. Movie I was excited to see this month

324
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: the bio pick for Lucille Ball, all about her marriage

325
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: with Desi Arnez, the show I Love Lucy. It stars

326
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball, and the whole movie is

327
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: basically about one crazy week inside their lives. And I'll

328
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: look into the show before I get into what I

329
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: thought about the movie and whether or not you should

330
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: check it out. Here's just a little bit of Being

331
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: the Ricardo's I need you to help me save my marriage.

332
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: How many fines I got? Explain where it was and

333
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: what it was? Explain I'm seal Ball when I'm being funny.

334
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: Don't know this is getting out of hand? Have you

335
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: been cheating on me? If? Sorry? I got lost for

336
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: a second. So what the movie is about. It's a biopic,

337
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: but done a little bit different than I was expecting.

338
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was just gonna be like the beginning

339
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: and ending Lucile Ball's life, but the entire movie is

340
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: focused on one hectic week in her life and the

341
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: show I Love Lucy in a storyline I hadn't heard

342
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: about her now. I grew up watching I Love Lucy,

343
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: which is weird because it was way before my time,

344
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: but I just remember it was still heavily in syndication,

345
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: and when all you really have is antenna TV growing up,

346
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: you find anything you can watch to entertain yourself. And

347
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: I just remember there would always be a block of

348
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I Love Lucy on all the time. I've seen all

349
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: the episodes, from all the classic ones that were referenced

350
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: in this movie to even the later years when the

351
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: plot completely changed. But I just had a fascination with

352
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: show bid this in the fifties, and you know shows

353
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: being made in those days in a comedy like this

354
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: is really one of the biggest comedy shows on television ever.

355
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: And in the movie they talked more about like how

356
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: big of an impact it had on the entire country.

357
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: How at one point, for one episode of I Love

358
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Lucy was watched by forty four million people. That has

359
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: unheard of numbers. Now you couldn't do that ever again,

360
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: but it kind of just puts into perspective how famous

361
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: she was and how big the show was, and that's

362
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: what this movie kind of was able to capture. And

363
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: I was really interested to see this movie because I

364
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: love a biopic. I love a movie based in the fifties,

365
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: and there was a lot I learned by watching this movie.

366
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: So it covers all about how Lucille Ball met Desi Arnez,

367
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: all the drama, you know, behind making the show, their

368
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: marriage struggles, which is a pretty big forefront of the movie.

369
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: And what I love from the very beginning of this

370
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: movie was Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball. I think she

371
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: is such a great actress and it's been a while

372
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: since I've really seen her in a movie that I

373
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: really enjoyed. She's done some really great limited series and

374
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: TV shows, but when it came to her movie role,

375
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite movie roles from her

376
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that I've seen in a very long time, to the

377
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: point to where I thought she was perfectly cast for

378
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: Lucio Ball. I know some other people wanted a different

379
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: actress to play Lucio Ball. They thought, you know, they

380
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: made a mistake when the cool kidman. But I think

381
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: she got it right. And I think it was more

382
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: so than just the look of looking like Lucy. I

383
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of it was her being able to

384
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: capture one her on screen whenever they are filming the show,

385
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: able to have captured the cadence of her voice, able

386
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: to capture her comedic kind of timing, and her comedic performance.

387
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: Like I thought she did a really great job at that.

388
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: But aside from that, I felt like I was watching

389
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: like Lucio Ball. Like while I was watching this movie,

390
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: I was completely taken out of that. I was watching

391
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: the cold kidman play Lucio Ball, and I felt like

392
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: she was really able to bring her to life. I

393
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: also loved Javier ball Artem as Desi Arnaz, J K.

394
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Simmons as the actor who plays Fred, and Nina Arianda,

395
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: who was cast to play Ethel in this I thought

396
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: she looked identical to Ethel, so I thought the casting

397
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: was completely there. I even went back to look up

398
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: the other people in the movie and I thought everybody

399
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: looked exactly how they did in real life. So that

400
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: to me was great. And I think what I love

401
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: the most about this movie was how they focused on

402
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: how much Lucille Ball was so dedicated to being an actress,

403
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: so dedicated to being a comedic performer. And the scenes

404
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: that they do inside of the writing room in this

405
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: movie where I think my favorite part of the entire movie,

406
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: because it kind of shows how much little details she

407
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: went into making sure every joke work, to make sure

408
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: like the audience was gonna believe this. And you watch

409
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: a show like I Love Lucy and you think like, oh,

410
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: that show just gets made, like you know, just a

411
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: bunch of writers sitting in a room. But a lot

412
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: of it was due to her, like not taking for

413
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: granted how big of a star she was and knowing

414
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: that I could be taken away from her from how

415
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: she kind of had to come up being an actress.

416
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: You know, it shows her struggles with that of not

417
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: being able to get the roles she wanted, not being

418
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: able to even make it the TV, and how she

419
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: just kind of went in there and once she was

420
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: offered this kind of made her demands and really just

421
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: owned the entire thing. Aside from that, it wasn't completely

422
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: focused on how like the show was created. I think

423
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: it was more so just focused on them as people

424
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: and the struggles they were going through in this one

425
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: particular week of their life. And I know it doesn't

426
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: feel like a spoiler to exactly say what the struggles were,

427
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: but me going into this, I had never heard of it,

428
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and I was a little bit more like surprised by

429
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: and learning through watching the movie. So I will don't

430
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: want to say exactly what happens and the struggles with

431
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: so I know it shows a little bit in the trailer,

432
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: but I don't want to get a whole lot into

433
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: that because I think if you go into watching it

434
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: and not knowing and you learn as you watch the movie,

435
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: for me, I felt like I got a better experience

436
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: doing that. So just know that what kind of goes

437
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: down in the movie is probably not what you're expecting

438
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: unless you know a lot about Lucille Ball's life. What

439
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: I will comment on and what they do kind of

440
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: show more in that trailer is kind of the struggles

441
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: they had in their marriage, which really kind of come

442
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: to a forefront in this movie of you know, their

443
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: relationship and from how they met too, you know, then

444
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: both being in show business, both wanting to be stars,

445
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: and just having a lot of marital issues. That was

446
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: really interesting to me because you just think of them

447
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: from the TV show and you think of that all

448
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: just kind of playing out and being, you know, them

449
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: being the perfect couple. But to know how much she

450
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: was going through and how much the show really had

451
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: a toll on her, and not only what the show

452
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: I Love Lucy meant to her career, but also to

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: her marriage. Like there's a scene in this movie that

454
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: really hits you on an emotional level. Knowing that from

455
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: her I would say the only things that took me

456
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: a little bit out of the experience of this movie

457
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: was I feel like there was a little bit of

458
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: inaccuracies when it came to portraying the nineteen fifties, And

459
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: maybe I was being a little nitpicky, but like some

460
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of the phrases they use some of just the overall

461
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: like action and dialogue. I didn't feel like I was

462
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: watching a movie that it was made in the nineteen fifties,

463
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: which I know it wasn't, but I felt like when

464
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: you make a biopic like this, you kind of have

465
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: to encapsulate the time period that it's happening in. And

466
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking of why maybe I didn't feel this way,

467
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: and another movie came to mind was I Walked a Line,

468
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: And I think just when I watched other movies that

469
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: kind of portray people and that those times that they're

470
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: living in, I just didn't feel like this movie completely

471
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: captured that time period, Like from the wardrobe and the

472
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: some of the set design and some of the stylistic

473
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: choices in this movie, I still felt like a little

474
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: bit I was watching like a play and like almost

475
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: taking place in modern day, and I kind of wanted

476
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: it to feel more like it was that part of it,

477
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: like why all the characters were right and all of

478
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: the casting was right. I still felt like some of

479
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: the direction in this didn't really make me fully engulfed

480
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: what it was like to be living in those times.

481
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: And then the other thing was I felt it dragged

482
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: a little bit there, and probably the second act leading

483
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: into the third act, and at about a two hour

484
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: and ten minute runtime, I felt I got a little

485
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: bit of like, all right, let's get to what's going

486
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: to be the conclusion of this movie. I felt like

487
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: they were trying to stretch a little bit of the

488
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: story out, and if this movie we just would have

489
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: been like twenty minutes shorter, I think it would have

490
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: been closer to perfect. I did like all the references

491
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: to the original TV show, and throughout this movie they're

492
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: working on one episode specifically, and some of the scenes

493
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: cut from them acting them out to them being shown

494
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: in black and white like how they would appear on TV.

495
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: I thought that part was really cool in the movie.

496
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: There in season two of I Love Lucy and it's

497
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: already been an unexpected hit, so you're kind of able

498
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: to see it at the height of that. So if

499
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I had to rate it, I would give being the

500
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Ricardo's a strong four out of five studio audiences. I'm

501
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: glad I went to see this one in theaters. I

502
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: am back in the country now, so I think for me,

503
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I did get a little bit more of just getting

504
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: the movie experience out of this and seeing it on

505
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: the big screen. But the beauty about this one, if

506
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: you don't want that, it'll be on Amazon and free

507
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: to stream on December. So that is what I think

508
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: about being the Ricardos. Alright, time now for the part

509
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: of the podcast where I break down some new movie

510
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: trailers movies coming to you soon in theaters or on

511
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: streaming soon, in a segment that we call It's time

512
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: to head down to movie Paul Alright, first up in

513
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: the trailer park. I don't know why I want this

514
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: franchise to succeed. The first one when it came out

515
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: in was like the only new movie in theaters for

516
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: a while, and there was a joke of like it

517
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: being the running contender for Best Picture that year. But

518
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe because I love this video game

519
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: as a kid, and it wasn't a bad movie. Yes

520
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: it's not the best movie I'd ever seen, but at

521
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: the time I just really enjoyed it. And it was

522
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog when it came out in And now

523
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: they have announced Sonic the Hedgehog two is coming out

524
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: and they dropped the trailer, so let's take a listen.

525
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, who are you please? Tails Okay, this is

526
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Step one light taunting. Step two,

527
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea face it. You're never going to

528
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: get my power? Do I look like I need your power?

529
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Where are my manners? Sonic Meat Knuckles? So Sonic two

530
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: comes out on April. And why I'm excited for this

531
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: movie one because it's a a pretty good adaptation of

532
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: a video game movie, which are hard to do, and

533
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: I felt like when I watched the first one it

534
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: kind of did a little bit more than I was expecting.

535
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: But I think when it came to how it adapted

536
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: the video game and kind of what we wanted to see.

537
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: We want to see the things we remember playing as

538
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: a kid come to life, and I think they did

539
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good job of balancing that but also making

540
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: it a decent movie with the plot bringing to life

541
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: all the characters and Jim Carrey as Dr robot Nick.

542
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: I thought, was, I mean, it just quietly has Jim

543
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: Carrey in a movie like this that I think kind

544
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: of gets overlooked. And now in this one they're introducing

545
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: some new characters. You have Tales and then you have Knuckles,

546
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: who is voiced by Address Elba. So will it be

547
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: the most captivating thing that I'm looking forward to watching

548
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: in two probably not. Is it going to be geared

549
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: more towards kids, yes, probably, But they also know that

550
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: adults like me who played the video game as a

551
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: kid are also going to watch this movie, so they're

552
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: making it still with that in mind. Again. That is

553
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog too, coming out on April eight two.

554
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: I will be checking that one out. Next up in

555
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: the trailer park was a big announcement that came out.

556
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna include it on last week's EPISOD, but

557
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: I decided to wait. As we get closer and closer

558
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: to Spider Man No Way Home, and they dropped the

559
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: trailer for Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Part one,

560
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: which in turn also announced that there's going to be

561
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: a part one and apart two to this movie. It's

562
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: coming out on October seven. Now it's a bit of

563
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: a different trailer. They basically just showed a scene from

564
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: the movie. So here is just a little bit of that.

565
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: You got a minute? Good when? How did how did

566
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: she get? How did you get? How have you been?

567
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: That's a long story? Is this the room you grew

568
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: up in? It is but my dorm room is buried, right, No,

569
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: of course. So for me, Spider Man Into the Spider

570
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Verse was probably my favorite Spider Man movie ever made,

571
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: and I have different reasons why, which I'm gonna get

572
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: into more next week when I break down and re

573
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: rank every single Spider Man movie, which actually just finished

574
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: Spider Man Into the Spider Verse and I am done

575
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: rewatching the movies, So that'll be next week's episode, along

576
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: with the review of No Way Home. But I am

577
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: really excited for Spider Man Across the Spider Verse. It

578
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: looks like it's a completely different movie. They're bringing in

579
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: a whole new set of Spider Man characters, but also

580
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: keeping Miles Morales in there. You heard Gwen Stacy. You

581
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: also have Peter B. Parker voiced by Jake Johnson. There's

582
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of the plot out there yet,

583
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: basically just Miles again teaming up with Gwen Stacy, some

584
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: new Spider Man characters, and then a new villain, which

585
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: you do also see a fight scene in that trailer.

586
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: So I think what I'm most excited about after seeing

587
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: that trailer is it looks like somehow the animation is

588
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: getting just a level better which I thought, even after

589
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: rewatching Spider Man into the Spider Verse, like, how could

590
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: you really make that animation even better? And I think

591
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: that's what I'm most excited to see. And it also

592
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: looks like it's taking place in an entirely different kind

593
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: of world again, as if the first one will have

594
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: almost nothing to do with these next two chapters, which

595
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: I think that will help keep this franchise completely fresh.

596
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: And going back to why this is my personal favorite

597
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: Spider Man is because there was really no rules into

598
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: the Spider Verse. It had a feeling of like if

599
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: every Spider Man fan was able to make a movie

600
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: they wanted to with no rules and it would work.

601
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: I think that's why it was beloved by so many people,

602
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: why it was so critically acclaimed. Pair of that with

603
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: the storyline and the visual aspects, I think this is

604
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: why it's becomes such a favorite among Spider Man fans.

605
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: And we're all kind of excited to see how they

606
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: continue that hopefully keep that same integrity and are able

607
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: to make it new, fun and exciting for new people

608
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: getting on board. So there you go this week's edition

609
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: of Movie and that's gonna do it. For this week's

610
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: episode again. Next week I'll be breaking down and ranking

611
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: every single Spider movie I've put in about seventeen and

612
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: a half hours so far, and then after watching Spider

613
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: Man No Way Home on Friday, I think it's gonna

614
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: put it pretty close to twenty hours of Spider Man

615
