1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike joined, but my wife and

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: co host Kelsey, how are you.

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm great.

5
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: It is the end of July. I heard a sad

6
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: statistic is the reason time goes by faster when you're

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: older is because you start or stop recording good memories.

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Because when you're younger, like everything is new and you

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: remember all these things, and then when you get older,

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: you have less of those big experiences, so it feels

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: like time moves faster. And I know every time we

12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: sit down and do these episodes, we're like, how is

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: another month past?

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: July went simultaneously slow and fast because there were like

15
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: five work weeks in it because the way the month

16
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 3: started so that was it made the work month feel long,

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: even though I was on vacation for a couple of days.

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: But there were a lot of good movies which we

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: had to get into.

20
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: So many movies.

21
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: I watched so many movies, and I read a lot

22
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: of books this month, So forgive me if things are

23
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: jumbled in.

24
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the list of not even just

25
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: movies we saw in theaters, but just of the entire

26
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: month that I want to recap it was a lot.

27
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: In the movie review, I'll be talking about the movie

28
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna go see in theater

29
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: is the Naked gud oh Man. That trailer looks so dumb,

30
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: but I gotta see for myself. And in the trailer park,

31
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: I'll be talking about Avatar Fire and Ash, which is

32
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Avatar three, which is over three hours long. I believe

33
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: three hours and twelvewelve minutes minutes. Yes, same as the

Speaker 1: the month of July. Kick us off with your best pick.

40
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: I know it was a month of blockbusters.

41
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Big, big, big, big blockbusters.

42
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: But I have a feeling you're gonna take my okay,

43
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: favorite blockbuster, so I'm gonna go favorite non blockbuster. Sorry Baby,

44
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: which was an indie film by Eva Eva Victor.

45
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal.

46
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: It was very like heartfelt, made you feel things, made

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: you think, and just really well done. Kind of like

48
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: a bite sense of humor, like it wasn't outwardly like

49
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: lol funny.

50
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: But how would you describe the plot of the movie.

51
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to give anything away, even though

52
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: it's probably in the description.

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I'll put it up just so we can have it.

54
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: Agnes, the main character, goes through something difficult and in.

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: The description that you say, something bad happens to Agnes,

56
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: something bad.

57
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: And it's about how her friend supporting her and her

58
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: life and just kind of like a just like a

59
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: year in the lifeish kind of goes.

60
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: Through different seasons slice of life Fish. Yeah, this is

61
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: a movie that makes me love movies. It's the type

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: of movie that I just seek out and to me,

63
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: even though this movie deals with some heavier topics at times,

64
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: it felt really comforting to me. I described this movie

65
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: as putting on your favorite hoodie on a fall day,

66
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: where it's like this movie just feels like it was

67
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: made just for me. Even though I don't directly relate

68
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: to all the characters, it just feels so personal. And

69
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: she wrote and directed this movie and starred in it.

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like, even though it is her

71
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: first film, her masterpiece already because they say, you have

72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: like when it comes to artists, your entire life to

73
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: write your first album. This one I felt she made

74
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: so personal and it's a movie that only she could make.

75
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: It just feels like it just directly from her brain

76
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: onto the screen.

77
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: It was Yeah, it was wonderful.

78
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: That was a Bell Court showing because we love seeing

79
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: Indieflix there.

80
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: I also feel like this is a movie that doesn't

81
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: think less of the viewer because there were a lot

82
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: of things that were implied, yes where yeah, through very

83
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: strategic forms of cinematography where it'll show a situation and

84
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: then kind of take you out of it and you

85
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of assume, like what happens during those moments, And

86
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: I think that's just so much more impactful. So yeah,

87
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: I also really love this movie. One that kind of

88
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: snuck under the radar. Age twenty four movies are interesting

89
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: because they always have like an early premiere in the year,

90
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: and then they have like a mid time release, and

91
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: then they have like a four release. So I never

92
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: know when to let people know about these movies because

93
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: then we talk about them and then they're not out

94
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: yet for everybody.

95
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: Well, we saw the trailer for it. I feel like

96
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: forever ago.

97
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: And then by the time we saw it, it didn't

98
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: officially come out for like two to three weeks. Yeah,

99
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: so it like just came out fully, like on the

100
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: twenty sixth or something. So that is one that if

101
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: you can go see it at an independent theater local

102
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: to you. Maybe some bigger chains habit, but not really.

103
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: I mean it was in the regal apps.

104
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: It just never had they never had that time, So

105
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: try to find your independent theater or later. It'll probably

106
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: eventually come to HBO Max because they get a lot

107
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: of the A twenty four movies. But it is a

108
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: really great one that if you're just looking for something

109
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: completely original and different, it's good.

110
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: It gave me the same feeling of like when we

111
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: left Past Lives, where I'm like, I love an original concept.

112
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even though it's nothing like groundbreaking or novel,

113
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: it feels new and it feels just different than all

114
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: the other big blockbuster movies that we saw this this summer.

115
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: So I like the balance that we had. We had

116
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: the big movies and then we had the smaller movies.

117
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: Even though some of the smaller movies we didn't love,

118
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of contrast in July for

119
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: my best it was the one you were talking about

120
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: that you could have also taken Superman. It was so good,

121
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: it was just my When we were watching it, I

122
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: felt something change in my brain, and that's only happened

123
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: maybe three or four times in the last five years.

124
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: And even when we first left, I was like, I

125
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: told you, I was like, that movie was perfect. There

126
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: was nothing wrong about it that if I would have

127
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: rated that movie immediately after getting up getting up out

128
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: of my seat, I would have given it a five.

129
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: And then the more I thought about it compared to

130
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: some other of my favorite superhero movies, and also the

131
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: fact that they could expand the world a little bit

132
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: and we're probably gonna get a better Superman movie with

133
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: this cast, I was like, Okay, I'll leave a little

134
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: bit of room for growth, but it's almost it's almost perfect.

135
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: And it was interesting to see how many people hated

136
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Superman now, where I think it was a lot of

137
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: those people who were Zack Snyder fans who like the

138
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: more ripped up, hardcore, take no prisoner Superman that they

139
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: hated what James Gunn did to the character now is

140
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: that Superman had hard And I was like, do you

141
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: not like somebody with the moral conscience, which is all

142
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: what Superman is about. Do you not like movies that

143
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: are fun and have interesting music throughout? Do you not

144
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: like cool looking characters like Man? I get it if

145
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: it's not for you, if you don't like superhero movies.

146
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: But if you hate this movie, I don't think I

147
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: could be friends with you.

148
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

149
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 3: I don't see any reason to hate it. I thought

150
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: the casting was phenomenal. Nicholas Holt as Lex Luthor was

151
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: ten out of ten casting, David corn Sweat, Rachel Brosnahan

152
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: and again I always love when James Gunn puts Sean

153
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: Gunn in a little meg well Kirk appearance for the

154
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: Elmore Girl fans.

155
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: It was also one that I wanted to go and

156
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: watch again. Yeah, just haven't had time so much to

157
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: see because easily any other week, because like we saw

158
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Lelo and Stitching Theaters twice. That was great.

159
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: Still love Twisters and Theater twice.

160
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: It's been harder this blockbuster season to go back and

161
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: watch movies twice because there have been so many new movie.

162
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: No, we just don't have the time.

163
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: My favorite weeks right now in July have been weeks

164
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: when I've watched four new movies in a weekend and

165
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is so good right now, And

166
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: my new favorite thing is to go at nine am

167
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: and go watch a Mattineo, a horror movie that you

168
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: don't want to watch. Yeah, So it was just finding

169
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: time to get all these movies in. So what was

170
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: your worst for the month?

171
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Speaking of A twenty four, Love you a twenty four?

172
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: I was Eddington.

173
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: This was what I got asked a lot about. Like

174
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: when you're gonna review Eddington, I wanted you here so

175
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: we could both give our opinion on it. What did

176
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: you hate about it?

177
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: I would like to say, what the bleep was that movie?

178
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: It was a lot more boring than I was expecting

179
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: with having Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, and.

180
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: It got unnecessarily stupidly violent.

181
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: So the movie is essentially it takes place in the

182
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty and is about the small fictional

183
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: town ride in the midst of the pandemic. And what

184
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: I just found myself not interested in is I didn't

185
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: want to relive that time. As soon as they got

186
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: into all the things, and it wasn't like they added

187
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: any extra context to it or did it for an

188
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: artistic reason. It was almost just documenting exactly what happened,

189
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: why people were fighting with each other.

190
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was still like I'm not wearing a mask

191
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: in a grocery store. And I was like, I think

192
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: five years is actually too.

193
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: Soon, and it didn't feel like the right time to

194
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: make this movie that I found the first fifty minutes

195
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: of it very uninteresting because that's all it was.

196
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first fifty minutes, because the movie is like

197
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: over two and a half hour.

198
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: It was like two twenty maybe two eighteen, and that

199
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: first hour drag.

200
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: I thought it was even longer than that.

201
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: Was it longer.

202
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 3: I feel like it was longer, let's see, because it

203
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: was like one hundred and forty three.

204
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: I think it was like two hours and twenty five minutes. Yeah,

205
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: that was a long movie. It's so long and very

206
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: little happens in that first hour and then it just

207
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of goes off the rails where I like this director.

208
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: He also did Hereditary, He also did a Midsommar, which

209
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: are very interesting horror movies. But I kind of think

210
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: he should go back to doing horror movies.

211
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: I feel like this this was kind of a horror movie.

212
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of was. I feel like this was

213
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: him trying to make a Quentin Tarantino style movie, or

214
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: trying to make his own version of No Country for

215
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: Old Men. Because where this movie takes you, I don't

216
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: want to ruin anything, but where the action kind of unfolded,

217
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: I feel like it kind of takes like that modern

218
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: western type vibe crime thriller, but it was doing a

219
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: really bad impression of it with characters that you just

220
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: didn't care about whatsoever, and then just kind of made

221
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: no sense and said no statement at the end.

222
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: Of it, and then it had like low budget gore.

223
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of a stylistic choice. I think that's

224
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of his style. Where it didn't, I think it's

225
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: done for effect. But on a movie of this scale,

226
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: it does look a little bit like it's low quality,

227
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: But I think it's on purpose. I think it's meant

228
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: to be more shocking.

229
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: I hated it.

230
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: I found myself sitting in the in the seat wanting

231
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: to leave very bad. I was very uncomfortable throughout the

232
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: majority of this movie just because there was nothing. There

233
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: was no characters that I was following along their storyline

234
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: or rooting for the story just felt like reliving a

235
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: really bad time in the world. Maybe in fifteen years

236
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: or twenty years we're more far removed from this, I

237
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: would have cared more about it. But I just think

238
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: overall this movie was really just uninteresting and not worth

239
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: the two hour and twenty five minute runtime. Now, especially

240
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: with I mean I like both of these actors and

241
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: now I'm a Stone and I'm a Stone and Austin

242
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really like Austin Butler, but you

243
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: have that many people in this movie, you think somebody

244
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: would have given a performance that was worthy of Like, Okay,

245
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: I can see why they were I thought it was

246
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: still bad, so yeah, I can co sign on your

247
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: worst of the month.

248
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: If we had seen that on a regal, we would

249
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: have left.

250
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Because we had the unlimited in it.

251
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: But we've actually bought tickets for it, so it was

252
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: kind of like, oh, I mean, we financially committed to this.

253
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Right right when we're at that point of wanting to leave,

254
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: and I was gonna tell you, like you want to go,

255
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: something interesting did happen and I was like, Okay, maybe

256
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: it's going somewhere now, And it didn't really go anywhere.

257
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: I'm currently reading a book that I feel similarly about,

258
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: and I'm not even going to like say the name

259
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: and recommend it on this podcast. I wanted to not

260
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: finish it, but I bought it, and so I can't

261
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: bring myself to not finish something that I bought.

262
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: So I'm like powering through.

263
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: I have a third left, and I need to finish

264
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: it today and just be done with it. It's one

265
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: of those where like I don't want to see dread

266
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: that sounds dramatic, but like I pick it up and

267
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I've got to read this.

268
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: It was like homework, yes, but eating your vegetables is

269
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: a kid, Yes, I understand that. And I have the

270
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: role of if I don't finish a movie, I can't

271
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: review it because it feels incomplete. It's like they put

272
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: out their art. If I don't at least put in

273
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: my effort of finishing the whole project, then I can't

274
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: talk about it fairly. I mean, I can say it

275
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: was so bad I didn't finish it, but that's all

276
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: I could say.

277
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: I probably would have sad, nicer things if I had

278
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: done to finish that movie.

279
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: But that brings me to my worst of the month,

280
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: which was The Old Guard to on Netflix?

281
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: Is that what you watched on the flight home from vacation.

282
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: How was my face while watching this movie in physical pain?

283
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: It was so And the thing about Netflix movies, there

284
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: are a couple of things. Is one they're just inherently bad.

285
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Two is they come out so far between the other

286
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: one that I forgot what happened in the Old Guard one.

287
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot the premise of it, what the

288
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: characters were about. So they didn't do a really good

289
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: job at resetting that which I was. It took me

290
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: maybe about ten minutes to remember exactly, Oh, yeah, they

291
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: did this, and this is the story behind them. Essentially

292
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: they live forever. That's why they're the Old Guard. But

293
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: this movie was so B level action movie and tre

294
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: least their own is a good actor be.

295
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: As generous from what I looked over on your screen.

296
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Because it felt like a movie that would come on

297
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoons on a random channel, not even on cable,

298
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: but on broadcast TV that I used to watch as

299
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: a kid, like an old eighties movie. The acting was

300
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: so bare minimum. The special effects in this movie were

301
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: just straight. I probably could have made it's better special

302
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: effects on cap cut on my phone because I was like,

303
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: that's just a green screen. This looks so bad, and

304
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: all of this action just felt so generic. I hate

305
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: when I watch action movies and people are just fighting

306
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: for the sake of fighting. There's no purpose to It's

307
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: like they're a hospives yes, where you hate watching them

308
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: with me? No, I just mean like there's a certain

309
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: action movie where where two characters fight and there's a reason,

310
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: there's an emotional weight to it, they're fighting for a

311
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: very specific reason. In this movie, it just felt like, Okay,

312
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: we need an action sequence here, so these people are

313
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna fight and then there's gonna be a chase scene

314
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and that it was just filler. Every fight scene just

315
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: felt like filler, from the very beginning. The first opening

316
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: fight scene where they're like going to break into some house,

317
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: it just felt ridiculous. Flame fight scene.

318
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: No, just like filler movies.

319
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that is kind of what they do where

320
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: they get big stars like a Trulis thrown and now

321
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: are building these kind of franchises that they have where

322
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: they put out these movies originally like three or four

323
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: years ago and now four years later they're like, let's

324
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: make a sequel to it. So they're trying to build

325
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: these fan bases on these franchises. They don't have a

326
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: fan base.

327
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: Which speaking of filler movies that did have a fan.

328
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: Base, Happy Gomore two, Yes, that was That was an

329
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: honorable mention because I gave The Old Guard a one

330
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: out of five, which is really low, and I gave

331
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Happy Gomore two. I like giving movies the number that

332
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: it's in, so I give it a two out of five.

333
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: So I'm like the review is in the title, But

334
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: I was so surprised of how many people found joy

335
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: in this movie.

336
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Taylor Swift did not watch the

337
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: whole thing, despite what her Instagram story said. I think

338
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: she watched what did she rate it thirteen out of

339
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: ten because thirteen's her number. I think she watched old

340
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: traviy scenes and was like, all right, he was.

341
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: In it more than I anticipated him. Bad Bunny, Yeah,

342
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: I still like Bad Buddy at it. Oh.

343
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: I loved Bad Bunny on it.

344
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: But aside from that, it was too many cameos.

345
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: It was so it was just cameos and callbacks.

346
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: That's all it was, and that is what I dislike

347
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: about it the most. And I think that is what

348
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: people found enjoyment in which I don't understand. This movie

349
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: felt like exhibition. To me, some people like watching movies

350
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: to be reminded about other movies. I hate that.

351
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: It felt almost like product placement, but with actors.

352
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean the first one had some product

353
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: placement in it with the whole subway thing.

354
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this one more just like the actors were

355
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: the product.

356
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Oh yeah, because it just felt like

357
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: when it came out that it was like the biggest

358
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: movie in Netflix, had the biggest debut. It's like, yeah, well,

359
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: you have all these celebrities who have millions of followers

360
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: on Instagram.

361
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, we had like Alex Earl in it.

362
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: It was like, so strategically you put all these people

363
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: in it to get so many people to watch it,

364
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: because then you have like the WWE fanbase, and you

365
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: have post alone in it.

366
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: I already forgot he was in it.

367
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: The biggest I mean, Bad Bunny is one of the

368
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: biggest artists in the world, not just in the United States.

369
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, well, I mean people watched for but yeah

370
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: the door she posted about it.

371
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: So I hate comedy. I hate legacy comedy movies because

372
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be as funny as the original. It

373
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: kind of tarnishes what you love about the first one.

374
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: And I know I sound like I don't like having fun.

375
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: I do like having fun. But it even takes me

376
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: back to whenever they made Dumb and Dumber two, the sequel,

377
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: where all they did was do the gags from the

378
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: first one. Is like, hey, remember what we did in

379
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: the first one, Let's do it again. And even when

380
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: this movie started out, I was like, Okay, maybe we're

381
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: gonna get a real story here, and it felt a

382
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: little bit like, Okay, he's actually going through some things here.

383
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: And then by maybe twenty minutes into it, it just

384
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of goes off the rails and they're just doing

385
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of random jokes. It felt like a mid

386
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: SNL episode.

387
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: I did love the Sandler's Whole family, wasn't it.

388
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: See. I cannot like his movies, but I can like

389
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: Adam Samer. I love Adam Sandlor because when you think

390
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: about it on the grand scale, and you'll look at

391
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: what he's doing, he is making art with his friends

392
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: and he's putting his family in it.

393
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: So wowing the best time he is, he just gets

394
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: to He gets to do what he wants.

395
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: And he makes a lot of money for it, and

396
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: he gets to spend time with his family. Because, if

397
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: you think about it, if you're an actor working like

398
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: he does on this on this amount of movies that

399
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: would take you away from your family, he's able to

400
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: put them in his movies. So he's working and he's

401
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: spending time with his family. It's like Jerry Jones with

402
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: a cowboy. He's like, this is why I built this

403
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: because I get to have this team that's my dream.

404
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: But I also get to work with my family. So

405
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: the whole time I'm working, I'm spending time with them.

406
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: Oh yes, the Jones family, but it's a family.

407
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: But he does that, and then he also brings a

408
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: super loyal friends. Even though they probably don't get along

409
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: all the time, he still brings them back because he

410
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: knows people love those characters. He keeps them working, he

411
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: gives them jobs, you can kind of put a little

412
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: spark into their career again. So I do respect him

413
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: as an actor, as a business person, as somebody who

414
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: is making movies that he wants to make. I mean,

415
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: going back to Billy Madison, that was like the first

416
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 1: movie he had some creative control over, and to go

417
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: from doing that to doing this where he's like, this

418
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: is how I'm gonna make movies. It's still resonating with people,

419
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: and I don't want to say like, oh, you're dumb

420
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: for liking this movie. I wasn't for us. I just

421
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: wanted a real plot. I wanted a real plot, like

422
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: a real reason to make a sequel to this, because

423
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: I think the story is there. I think it was

424
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: there in the beginning, and then it was just like,

425
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: let's just kind of parody all these things now. And

426
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't like the golfers. There were too

427
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: many people who were not actors in significant roles.

428
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: Yes did yep, the whole.

429
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: That's why when you do have like a cool random cameo,

430
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: it's usually small and brief. But when you have those

431
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: people who don't act or not known for acting, it

432
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: makes it harder to watch because there you can obviously

433
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: tell that they are not good actors. Mainly, the Golfers

434
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: took me out of it because they were in it

435
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: so heavily.

436
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: I already honestly forgot they were in Nice.

437
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Scotti, Scheffler and a bunch of the people on his team. Yeah.

438
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: I think that was probably was just like, okay, too

439
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: much of this which the first movie. It was a

440
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: golf movie, but it was all just about him.

441
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't need actual PGA tour golfers.

442
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: But that was an honorable mention for my worst of

443
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: the month. I did hate the Old Guard Wars, though.

444
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: I'll go through the list of all the movies we

445
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: watched in July. I started with Old Guard, watching it

446
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: on the plane coming back from vacation. We also watched

447
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: Jurassic World Rebirth, which I gave a two point five

448
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: out of five also generous, pretty low on the scale,

449
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: and watched Superman four point five out of five. I

450
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: watched Opus on HBO Max, which is a movie with

451
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: au A Debris that I wanted to watch in theaters

452
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: early this year. It's a horror movie where she's like

453
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: a music writer and then goes out to cover this

454
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: artist who's kind of like a Prince type artist and

455
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: is making their first album for a very long time.

456
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: But then it gets kind of weird. It just kind

457
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: of falls in that category of a lot of movies

458
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: right now where like somebody goes out to like a

459
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: weird retreat and there's like these weird things happening behind

460
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: the scenes, so it just kind of felt generic to me.

461
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Eddington we gave a two at a five. Would you

462
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: rate that one? Oh?

463
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: I give Addington a zero zero. I have never wanted

464
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 3: to leave a movie so bad.

465
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: No nutritional value whatsoever.

466
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: Wow, it was two and a half hours of my

467
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: life that I won't get back.

468
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever rated anything a zero before.

469
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: I don't think I've read books a zero Most of

470
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 3: the time. I'm like, you put words on a page

471
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 3: with this, I'm too angry about it.

472
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: So my two is generous.

473
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: It's extremely generous.

474
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: I gave I know what you did last summer a

475
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: two out of five.

476
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: What's a twos?

477
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a high contrast because I gave Sorry Baby

478
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: a four out of five.

479
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: So good.

480
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: The assessment which I watched on Hulu, which is with

481
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: Scarlet Witch, the other Olson sister, Elizabeth Olsen, Elizabeth Olsen,

482
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: the overall story wasn't as good as I thought it

483
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: was going to be. Like, the movie looked really good.

484
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: It's from a French director, so I think it kind

485
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: of had a bit of an arty vibe, but essentially

486
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: her and her husband live in like the not so

487
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: distant future where you have to pass an assessment test

488
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: to have a kid. So the whole thing is like

489
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: somebody coming to their house and evaluating whether or not

490
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: they're allowed to have a kid. Could we implement that,

491
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: oh maybe fifty years in the future. But I gave

492
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: that one a three point five out of five, fantastic four,

493
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: a four. I gave it a four out of five.

494
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: Would you give that one?

495
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: I think a four.

496
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: I also watched a movie called Dangerous Animals. I gave

497
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: it a three point five out of five. It's about

498
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: these people who go out into like a shark tour

499
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: in the ocean, and then they find out the guys

500
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: the serial killer.

501
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 3: You also called them movie like three different names when

502
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: you were trying to tell me you were like dangerous trenches,

503
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: dangerous waters, water in the trend, gary sharks.

504
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: But Dangerous Animals is a good kind of mid level

505
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: horror movie. It was just incredibly frustrating when you watch

506
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: horror movies and you're like, why are you doing this?

507
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: So I don't watch.

508
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Them, and then oh hi. I gave a three point

509
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: five out of five, which I was surprised that nobody

510
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: was laughing when we went to go see that movie.

511
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: That was one of those that I don't know if

512
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: people watch.

513
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: The trailer, it's like an anti rom com, but I

514
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: think people thought it was straight on wrong.

515
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: I think people thought they were getting the rom com because.

516
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: It's about a girl who goes on an away trip

517
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: with this guy she's been dating for like three or

518
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: four months, and at the very start of it he

519
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: tells her like, oh, I don't want to be in

520
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: a relationship.

521
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: Well, and it's in the trailer, but it's like our

522
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: first tripoy is a couple, and he's like, what, I

523
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 3: love Molly Gordon.

524
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: So then she chains him up to the bed and

525
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: she says, Okay, I'm gonna keep you here for was

526
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 1: it a day? Twelve hours? And if I can convince

527
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: you of what life would be like with me as

528
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, you can make your decision after that. So

529
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the movie Misery, wherever she ties

530
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: up James conn in the bed for well, she just

531
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: keeps him there. But it's kind of that inspired, but

532
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: like the gen Z version of that, where she's just

533
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: trying to get this guy to be in a relationship

534
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: with her. Yeah, I thought it was funny. We were

535
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: the only but people in the entire theater laughing, which

536
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: is that's not.

537
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: The first time that's ever happened to us.

538
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's supposed to be. It was funny.

539
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: It was funny. I'm telling you.

540
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: I don't think people watch the trailer, so I think

541
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: they were like, when when does the rom come?

542
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: I think the rom come is a very interesting genre

543
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: right now because the people who want to go experience

544
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: rom coms are trying to remember those of the two thousands,

545
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: and they very much changed. Like material Lists, I would

546
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: consider a rom com, But when I did that review,

547
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: people are like, that's not a rom com. It doesn't

548
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: have the traditional things that a rom com has. So

549
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I think it has evolved, much like the horror genre

550
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: has evolved. How would you rate the three Pedro Pascal

551
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: movies that we watched the summer, because we've watched material

552
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: Lists which came out at the start of the summer,

553
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: We watched Eddington, and then we watched Fantastic Four, which

554
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: came out within a week of each other.

555
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: Fantastic Four number one, Materials number two, and then I'm

556
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: not even rating Eddington.

557
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: It's off the board.

558
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll rate and I'll put it as exist. After watching

559
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: all those movies without revealing anything about how much they

560
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: are specifically in it, can you feel that he is

561
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit overworked right now?

562
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's busy.

563
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: If you'll go to a theater and you see which

564
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: Pedro Pescal movie do you want to watch, you see

565
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: him on three different posters like how did he have

566
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: enough time?

567
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: And he's booked them busy.

568
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely feel it in Eddington that maybe he

569
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: fit that in between those movies. Maybe he like went

570
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: back and forth a little bit, or he's like, Pedro's

571
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: here this amount of days you have him for this movie.

572
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: I feel like that's how it is.

573
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: Because whenever we went to the Baby Girl screening with

574
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: Nicole Kinman, she kind of talked about what it's like

575
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: to do an a twenty four movie. Yes, where you're

576
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: you have a lot longer days, but they're very It's

577
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: less of a schedule because you have less days to

578
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: do it, but the days are longer, so it is

579
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more demanding because of the smaller budget.

580
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: I would have to imagine that's what it was like

581
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: filming both of those A twenty.

582
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: Four Meetings with Cemeterialists was A twenty four as.

583
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Well, So I kind of want him to be in

584
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: less things moving forward, just because he was in Last

585
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: of Us this year, He's in a lot. He is

586
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: so hot right now that people are starting to get

587
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: sick of him. I worry that because I still like him.

588
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: I like him in everything, but I don't want him

589
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: to reach that level of Chris Pratt where people just

590
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: feel like he's in everything and they ye, they also.

591
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: Just hate Chris Pratt for others.

592
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it could be a little bit of

593
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt, but I.

594
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Think it's like Chris Brad is a person honestly that

595
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: people don't like it. And it wasn't a lot, but

596
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: I think there's like more on the personal side.

597
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: But I feel like people hated it when he was

598
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: cast as Mario and then as like Garfield, and like,

599
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: did they just get Chris Pratt for everything? And he

600
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: doesn't put any effort into it?

601
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: And those are also movies. Really do you just need

602
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: like a paycheck? Brow everything's good, you're not making the mortgage.

603
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: But you did send me that story of Pedro Pascal's

604
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: allegedly his role being reduced a little bit in the

605
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: next Avengers movie, which I saw the director say that

606
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: he was never really cue up to be like the

607
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: star in the head of the new Avengers team. So

608
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: I don't really think we know what that's going to be.

609
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: And me kind of knowing from just reading the comics

610
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: where Doomsday and Cuitecret Wars are going, We're gonna have

611
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: a lot of characters come together. So I don't really

612
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be one even one team that's kind

613
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: of the main in either of those movies, because I

614
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: think it's about to get very large. So I think

615
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot different than Infinity War to Endgame,

616
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: where it's gonna be just so many people in it.

617
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: We saw the chair announcement. You saw how many chairs

618
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: were at that thing when they were like, all these

619
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: people are gonna be in this movie.

620
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: I would also like to go back to what you

621
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: said that I sent you that story. Yes I did.

622
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: I do a lot of unpaid intern work for this.

623
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: I would just like to pat myself on that. I

624
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: find a lot of stories for you.

625
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: That was a good one. Thank you, Because I think

626
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: people are wondering now after watching Fantastic for how it's

627
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: gonna feed in because the only next movie in Marvel

628
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: what that we're getting is the Spider Man movie and

629
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: then Doomsday. Which one are you more excited for? I

630
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: think you know my answer.

631
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: I love Spider Man.

632
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.

633
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go spider.

634
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm going Spider Man too, just because we've never had

635
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: an actor who has played Spider Man get a fourth movie.

636
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: Tom Hollins's about to be the Petropascal of next summer.

637
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna be Oh yeah, the Odyssey trailer. Mm hmmm,

638
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in a lot him And'sendaya together. Do

639
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: you have a TV show for this month? Because I

640
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: do not. I have not finished the show. And it's

641
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: weird that we live in an age where we still

642
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: have slow seasons for TV shows. You think there's gould

643
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: be great stuff coming out all year round, just because

644
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: of the way streaming works. But I guess even streaming

645
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: services kind of take a slow down during the summer.

646
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: I do I bene all of Jenny and Georgia.

647
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've watched episodes here and there. I've kind

648
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: of pieced it together just a little bit.

649
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: It's nothing groundbreaking. It's good though.

650
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: I was glad that I had three seasons to benge

651
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: and now I'm like, oh, I have to wait. But

652
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: then I started The Marvelous Missus Masel, which again is

653
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: also an older one. Also glad that I have all

654
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: of that to bene, but I was like, I need

655
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: more Rachel Brosnahan after Superman. So I'm watching that and

656
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: that's delightful so far.

657
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: The only thing I'm watching currently is the WWE show

658
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: on Netflix, which is like the documentary it's supposed to

659
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: be like the behind the scenes stuff they never wanted

660
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: or stuff we would never show you of them, kind

661
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: of breaking the illusion of how real wrestling is the

662
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: fourth wall, which I think has kind of been broken

663
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: in modern wrestling, where they show you exactly like how

664
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: strategic everything is, like how everything's on a calendar, every

665
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: single movement and plot line is as all these people

666
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: behind it.

667
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: Honestly, that's really upsetting to me why it's so fake.

668
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: I mean, the storylines are fake, but people still get injured,

669
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: Like whenever somebody gets hurt in real life, they have

670
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: to write it into the show. But it is interesting

671
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: because they do talk about some of the wrestlers go

672
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: to the writers and they want to know before a match,

673
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: am I gonna win? Or am I gonna lose? And

674
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: sometimes they don't know. I don't like them, it's just weird.

675
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: That part of it is kind of weird because they

676
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: are performers. It is sports entertainment. But then you have

677
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: to think, like, man, I can't even win this match

678
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: if I want to, because it's it's determined, it's written

679
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: in the script because they have all these plot lines

680
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: they need to play out over all these big events.

681
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: So I find that part interesting. But I also find

682
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm not as turned off by the fact that it's

683
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: not quote unquote real, that it's fake, because yes, it

684
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: is kind of like a soap opera. But it's interesting

685
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: to see these people want to reach a level of

686
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: success and the only people that are in the way

687
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: are the writers because they become the ww champion. You

688
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: can't just become the champion. They have to say you

689
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: are now worthy of doing this, and we're going to

690
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: write you in. So that part is crazy. You have

691
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: a book, I do my book club read project Hail

692
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: Mary oh Am, I going to have a really hard

693
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: time reading it.

694
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: Not a really hard time.

695
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: But I will say someone who has a science background,

696
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: there were even things and my background's not like molecular

697
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: biology like he is in the book, but I have

698
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: a pretty good understanding of scientific concepts and even some

699
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 3: things I was like, I gotta remember what that is.

700
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: And then there were there's some things that you just

701
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: can't even visualize, so you just have to accept it

702
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: and be like, Okay, I'm accepting that this exists, but

703
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what it looks like in my head,

704
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: if that makes sense.

705
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: Did you go back and watch the trailer after fish it?

706
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Are you excited for it? Does it fit? Does it

707
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: look like what you kind of thought? Even though you

708
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: kind of saw the trailer a little bit.

709
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: But I would try to go to the bathroom every

710
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 3: time the trailer came. Yeah, because I really didn't want.

711
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: You're not going to watch it, But we didn't think

712
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: about when we'd go to the movies that they'd give

713
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: us like to get out of here.

714
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very excited for it.

715
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: It actually helped having seen a little bit of the

716
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: trailer because I read the book in Gossling's voice.

717
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: I read it as like Ken Barbie.

718
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: See whenever I read Hunger Games, it was before the

719
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: movies came out, and I didn't associate Jennifer Lawrence at

720
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: all with that character, and to the point that when

721
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: I watched the movie, I was like, you're not Catnus

722
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 1: and that's not what I pictured in my home. But

723
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: the movie comes out on March twentieth, twenty twenty six,

724
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: so I have I have some time to read it.

725
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have faith in you.

726
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to read it and I want to experience that.

727
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: Even though I've already seen the trailer and people say

728
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: there are some spoilers in.

729
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: There, not that many, though nothing that like it's like, oh,

730
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: you shouldn't read the book, Like I still think you

731
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: will appreciate having read the book.

732
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm good then, but you do have to not read

733
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: it fast.

734
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: But I feel like you have to keep the momentum

735
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: so you don't forget the things because it's very detailed.

736
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: Okay, once I'm in a book, I'm good.

737
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know.

738
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I havn't seen you read one, Like if I could

739
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: just sit down, like probably we go on our trip,

740
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: if I take it with me and I'm on a plane,

741
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: and that's all I have like that's when I do

742
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: my best reading because I'm like, what else am I

743
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna do? Okay, so that is my next task and

744
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: six am flight. Yes, it could happen anything else. No,

745
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: it's hot, it's fine. I'm so over the heat. Yeah,

746
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go jump into a cold bath right now.

747
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: Our water doesn't get cold.

748
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: I got a new water heater, which we will appreciate

749
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: in the winter. But you're right, like I find myself.

750
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't even turn it over to the hot side

751
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: because it's not hot.

752
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: It it's not cold.

753
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: I turn it down as cold as it will go.

754
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: But then it gets like really like like no water,

755
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: and then you're just turning it off. I'm like, oh man,

756
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: get colder. All right. I'll come back and give my

757
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: spoiler free review of The Naked Gun. Let's get into

758
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: it now. A spoiler free movie review of The Naked

759
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: Gun starring Liam Neeson, although I might be a little

760
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: bit just loose on the term spoiler free because I

761
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: don't really think this is going to be a movie

762
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: that I can spoil. I think talking about some of

763
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: the comedic elements that I actually ended up enjoying, which

764
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to hate this movie. I

765
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: saw the trailer for it, and I thought, that looks

766
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: so dumb. The scene in particular that almost kept me

767
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: from watching this movie was whenever you see the girl

768
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: enter the bank and then turn into leem Neeson and

769
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: then start fighting people. I thought, no way could a

770
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: parody movie be good in twenty twenty five. I also

771
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: don't know how much of the fan base was really

772
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: itching for another one of these movies, except maybe the

773
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: couple next to me in the theater. They were probably

774
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: a good twenty to thirty years older than me. The

775
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: original came out back in nineteen eighty eight, so it's

776
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: been thirty seven years. Those people might have been waiting

777
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: for this movie. Me in particular, I was not. But

778
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: it does come to us from director Akiva Schaeffer, who

779
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: I had faith in. I just didn't think the actual

780
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: movie was going to be good. But I am here

781
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: to admit I was wrong. The Naked Gun is actually

782
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: a funny movie. And let me tell you why I

783
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: think it works now. I'm gonna relate it to a

784
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: recent comedy Legacy sequel that we got Happy Gilmore too.

785
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: Even in the Sandler verse, it was a lot of

786
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: just recalling old things they did in that movie. Here

787
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: it's something completely different, because a Naked Gun actually builds

788
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: its own world where everything is ridiculous in the best way.

789
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: This movie is a Looney Tunes cartoon brought to life

790
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: with a lot of great writing, a lot of great

791
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: jokes per minute. So consistently throughout this entire movie, you're

792
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: getting joke after joke, recurring bit after recurring bit. But

793
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: not only things in the foreground. You're getting things in

794
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: the background, small little details put in there to make

795
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: you laugh. Now, are all of them huge big moments

796
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: that are gonna have you on the floor of the

797
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: theater laughing, split in your side. No, but it consistently

798
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: just tries to make you laugh. It commits to every

799
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: single joke, a lot of play on words, which I

800
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of think is the DNA of this franchise, and

801
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of it just work, and I was not

802
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: expecting it to. From the very beginning, the very opening sequence,

803
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm in for this ride. And

804
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: it honestly didn't take me a long time to believe

805
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: in Liam Neeson in this role, which I thought was

806
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: going to be the hardest part, because I just see

807
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: him as the taken guy. Really, but what this movie

808
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: is about. He is investigating a bank robbery and then

809
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: it starts investigating a car crash somebody died, but Pamela

810
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: Anderson's character was the brother of the guy who died

811
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: in the crash and said, I don't think he killed himself.

812
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: I think there's somebody else behind it. And that's really it.

813
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: A very minimal plot of him just trying to figure

814
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: out who the bad guy is and how this crime unfolded,

815
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: and what you get through all of that is a

816
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: series of comedic events that just work. Liam Neeson was great.

817
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: I thought Pamela Anderson was really great in this role

818
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: as well. They have some pretty good on screen chemistry.

819
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: She also has surprisingly some really good comedic timing. But

820
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: hands down my favorite part of this movie was Paul

821
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: Walter Houser, who I believe just owns every that he

822
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: does right now. He was just in The Fantastic Four

823
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: as the mole Man. I also loved him, and I

824
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: think you should leave the Tim Robinson show. He is

825
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: somebody who I believe is one of the best new

826
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: faces in comedy and it's great to see him start

827
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: to get bigger roles. I think now that people are

828
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: becoming a little bit more familiar with him, they're like, Oh,

829
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: isn't that the guy from Richard Jewel. He's actually pretty funny.

830
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: I think his character should have had a little bit

831
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: more of a presence, because anytime his character was on screen,

832
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I loved it. There were three reoccurring bits that I

833
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: love now. I said I wasn't going to give away

834
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: any spoilers, and I don't really think this is spoiling anything,

835
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: but these are the type of things that are inside

836
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: of a Naked Gun movie at number three. At number

837
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: three is whenever they are at risk of getting shut down,

838
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: immediately Paul walter Hauser is standing out front with his

839
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: box and his spirit Halloween sign goes up behind him.

840
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious. At number two, whenever they

841
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: were investigating the car crash and they're trying to get

842
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: it out of the water. Liam Neeson does a terrible

843
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: job at investigating, and then they're like, all right, nothing

844
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: else to see here, and you think they're going to

845
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: be smart in the way that they pull out the car,

846
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: but then the guy working the crane literally has like

847
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: the claw from the claw machine. And then pulls it up,

848
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: And that is the best representation of this movie. It

849
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: goes all in and allows everything to be ridiculous. But

850
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: number one, my favorite bit in the movie is they

851
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: keep making fun of how in action movies and cop

852
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: movies they always get a fresh cup of coffee. So

853
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: they're getting a fresh cup and then immediately get another

854
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: fresh cup, and then the cups keep getting bigger and

855
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger, And I just thought that was funny

856
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: the way they committed to that. And my final question

857
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: about this movie does length matter? Because this movie was

858
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: over before I knew it, And I think that's also

859
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: what led to my enjoyment, is because the humor will

860
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: start to wear on you a little bit because it

861
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of starts to be the same thing over and over,

862
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: and even though you really enjoy it for those first

863
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: thirty to forty five minutes, it starts to reach a

864
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: point of like, Okay, this is still funny, and I

865
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: get that they're still firing off jokes and firing off jokes,

866
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: but it does get a little less and less novel

867
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: as it goes along. But before I knew it, this

868
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: movie was over. It was under one hour and fifteen minutes,

869
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: which I think is probably the lowest run time I've

870
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: ever seen in theaters, and I ended up loving it.

871
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: I think different categories of movies do require different run times. Now,

872
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: if a movie is just good, all out good, no

873
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: bad things to say about it, it can go on

874
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: as long as it wants. But if a movie is

875
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: kind of teetering on the line of I don't know

876
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: if I like this, I don't know if I'm really

877
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: committed to it, the runtime can be very influential. And

878
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 1: before this movie, I would say a great comedy run

879
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: time is ninety minutes. But if you could make a

880
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: movie in one hour and fifteen minutes, I think it

881
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: has to be as ridiculous as The Naked Gun. But

882
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: one hour in fifteen minutes is also pretty good, because,

883
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: like I said, it kind of tricks your mind into thinking,

884
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit over this. Oh it's already over.

885
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's leaving, all right, I'm good. I think I enjoyed

886
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: that because it got me out of there really quickly,

887
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: said what it needed to say, did all the gags,

888
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: and didn't waste time trying to build anything else that

889
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: didn't need to For an art house, movie I feel

890
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 1: is right around the one hour and forty minute range.

891
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Art House movies are usually a little bit lower budget,

892
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: the story is kind of stretched out a little bit more,

893
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: and anything more than an hour and forty minutes starts

894
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: to feel a little taxing to me. A horror movie,

895
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: I think right now needs to be one hour and

896
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. I think that is the sweet spot

897
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: for horror enough to really build that story in the

898
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes, really ramp up in that forty minute mark,

899
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: and then really start to go off the rails about

900
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: that one hour, one hour and ten minute mark, and

901
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: those final thirty to twenty minutes give you a great

902
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: final battle. I think one forty five is the perfect

903
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: runtime for a horror movie. When it comes to superhero movies,

904
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: I used to say two and a half hours, but

905
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: recently I think right around that two hour mark, which

906
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: is what DC and Marvel are both starting to do,

907
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: is kind of that sweet spot. Maybe it's because we

908
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit of superhero fatigue, but I think

909
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: two hours, maybe even one fifty five is the perfect

910
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: vic amount right now for a superhero movie. Now, if

911
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: it's an Avengers level movie, I'm okay with the two

912
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: forty five for Secret Wars, I will give you another

913
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: three hours for that one. And speaking in run times,

914
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I've talked about this movie too long

915
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: at this point because the movie was only one hour

916
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: and fifteen minutes and I'm still hearing abbit about it.

917
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: So for The Naked Gun, because it proved me wrong,

918
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: I get it three point five out of five big

919
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: old coffy cups. It's time to head down to movie.

920
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: Mike Trey lar Pard, how much Avatar can we take?

921
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: Because Fire and Ashes coming out of this year on

922
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: December nineteenth. We have another one coming out in twenty

923
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty nine with Avatar four, and then Avatar five comes

924
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: out in twenty thirty one. Before this, in twenty twenty two,

925
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: we got The Way Water, but there was a big

926
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: gap between one and two because Avatar came out back

927
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. And not only are these

928
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: movies mapped out from now until twenty thirty one, they

929
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: are also girthy movies. Avatar one two hours and forty

930
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: two minutes, just flirting with that three hour runtime, The

931
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: Way of Water three hours and twelve minutes, Fire and

932
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: Ash the exact same runtime of three hours and twelve minutes.

933
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: I can only imagine four and five are gonna be

934
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: at least three hours and twelve minutes. So not only

935
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 1: do we have five of these movies, but we also

936
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: have to prepare ourselves before we go watch these movies

937
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: in theaters, limit our liquids beforehand, plot out when is

938
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: a good time to go to the bathroom. And what

939
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 1: I've learned from the Way of Water is pretty much

940
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: every act is an hour. So if you have to

941
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: go pee while watching Avatar, A thing I do with

942
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: every single movie I go watch is I time in it.

943
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: So I would say, right when that first hour is

944
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: wrapping up, maybe go five minutes into the next hour,

945
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: just in case there's like a big action sequence. But

946
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: every hour is pretty much an act. So if you

947
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: have to go pee, go in that fifty five to

948
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: one oh five range and add that to the two

949
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: hour mark, and then you kind of got to stay

950
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: at three hour mark. But this is a lot of Avatar,

951
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: and it's a very polarizing franchise because I think we wonder,

952
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: how do these movies make so much money, why are

953
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: they so successful, and why are we getting so many

954
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: of these? But In this one, we have a new

955
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: tribe leader who is the new villain in this movie,

956
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: who looks pretty menacing. Her name is Verring. I believe

957
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: it is how you pronounce that she is the villain.

958
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: In Fire and Ash, she is tormenting Jake Sully and

959
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: his family as he attempts to protect her from her wrath.

960
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: She looks how you would imagine a villain look in

961
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 1: an Avatar movie. Still has the blue skin, but also

962
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: has white, black and red body paint, so it kind

963
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: of has like a warrior vibe, which they all kind

964
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: of have a warrior vibe. I saw the trailer when

965
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: I went to go see Fantastic Four, and I saw

966
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: that in Imax, so I got to experience it just

967
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, get that little taste of what the

968
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: this is gonna look like on the big screen, and

969
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: I liked it. This third installment introduces the Ash people,

970
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: described as fierce fire wielding warriors who dance around blazing

971
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: pits of flame. I would also describe myself that way,

972
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: except I'm not blue, I'm brown, baby. But I want

973
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: to dive into Avatar. Why is it so successful? Why

974
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: does James Caermon just put all of his time and

975
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: energy into these movies, and why is this going to

976
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: be the legacy that he leaves behind. Before we get

977
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: into all of that, here's just a little bit of

978
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: the Avatar three trailer.

979
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: You cannot live like.

980
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: This baby in hate. If there's something you can't do it,

981
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: then you must do it.

982
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's fine. Then we will find another way.

983
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: Your goddess has no a Meniunia. So it looks like

984
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: we are picking up from wherever Way of Water left off,

985
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: which in that one they had to leave Pandora, leave

986
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: their home, go out to live with these people who

987
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: are water based, hit the Way of Water and still

988
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: have to battle this difficult war against the humans. It

989
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of looks like the same thing happening here again,

990
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: constantly on the run, constantly just trying to protect their children.

991
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: When it comes to Avatar movies, I was a hater

992
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: in the beginning, but now seeing a lot of movies

993
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: use very very suspicious techniques when it comes to just

994
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: getting special effects passable, and that has become unacceptable to me.

995
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: Whenever I see a special effect that looks like it

996
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: could have been fine tuned to see it on the

997
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: big screen, just look mediocre. I just really start to

998
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: hold it against these movies when they continue to do that.

999
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: They continue to rush their production to get this movie

1000
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: out sooner and cut corners when it comes to the

1001
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: special effects. But James Cameron does not do that. Each

1002
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: one of these movies is so immersive. Whether it's the visuals,

1003
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: whether it's the score, whether it's the acting, it is

1004
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: all at the top of its game constantly. So it's

1005
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: so reliable on its ability to create a spectacle that

1006
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: it has audiences still pouring in to go watch these

1007
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: movies in theaters because they are an event. And I

1008
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: do believe this is a passion project of James Cameron.

1009
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: He wrote the first treatment to Avatar back in nineteen

1010
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: ninety four when it was called Project eight eighty. From

1011
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: that eighty page treatment, he began working on a screenplay

1012
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: for this fictional universe in early two thousand and six,

1013
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: with a movie finally coming out in two thousand and nine.

1014
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: So from when he first wrote the initial draft to

1015
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: when he actually started developing the screenplay, including the language,

1016
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: including this whole fictional universe of Pandora, that was over

1017
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: a decade, and then three years later Avatar came out

1018
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, and then another decade plus

1019
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: three years go by before we got the sequel to

1020
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 1: that movie. And I find it interesting when people put

1021
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: the classification of a passion project on somebody's work. Oftentimes

1022
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: that means it is something that they are doing just

1023
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: for the love of doing it, even though it is

1024
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: not financially successful. I think artists hate that term because

1025
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: of the connotation that, oh, I'm just doing this as

1026
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: a passion project, meaning I would do this even if

1027
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting paid. I don't care if it's successful.

1028
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: I just need to get this creativity out of my

1029
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: head and onto a screen or onto a canvas, and

1030
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if it ever sees a dime. But

1031
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: even though this is a passion project for James Cameron,

1032
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: these movies have the opposite effect. They are some of

1033
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: the highest grossing movies of all time. And why is that.

1034
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: It's not only because they are successful in the United States,

1035
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: which the biggest movies in the world are often American movies.

1036
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: We only look at the numbers here, but if you

1037
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: look at the numbers specifically for Avatar one, only twenty

1038
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: six point nine percent of the money made at the

1039
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: box office was domestic. The other seventy three point one

1040
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: percent came from the international box office. And that is

1041
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: the gold that James Cameron has struck. And I would

1042
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: hate to say that the movie is so middle of

1043
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: the road that it appeals to everybody, because I don't

1044
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: think these are mediocre movies. I just think he is

1045
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: the master filmmaker and knows how to create a story

1046
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: that has a wide appeal. And when it comes to

1047
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: the Avatar movies, they are blue people. They are not

1048
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: specific to anybody. You could argue the fact that we

1049
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: could all see a little bit of ourselves in these

1050
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: people because they are blue and alien like. You don't

1051
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: associate a race to them because it has that sci

1052
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: fi element. And due to the fact that because you

1053
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: don't see American actors on the screen, even though the

1054
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: people voicing them and doing the motion capture for them

1055
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: are for the most part American people. But all you

1056
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: have to do is have actors who speak different languages

1057
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: go in and do the voice acting to fit any country.

1058
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: Because these movies are huge in China, France, over in

1059
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: the UK and Spain. They do so well over there

1060
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: because of that, So it's not just because it's the

1061
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: middle of the road that it doesn't offend too many people.

1062
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: There are just a lot of elements in Avatar that

1063
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: appeal to not only different people around the world, but

1064
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: also inside of demographics. It appeals to the older audience.

1065
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: It appeals to the twenty thirty year olds who are

1066
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: into the sci fi element. That's where I follow in.

1067
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: And then it even appeals to kids because well, technically

1068
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of animated and bright and colorful, very immersive,

1069
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of action. So they're also not

1070
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: so artsy that they turn people off, and they're also

1071
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: not so bottom of a barrel lowest common denominator that

1072
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: maybe somebody who is turned off by those type of movies,

1073
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: those aka popcorn movies, still feels challenged by a movie

1074
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: like this, still feels like they're getting something out of

1075
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: it that they can sink their teeth into and not

1076
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: just watching something dumb and mindless like a Fast and

1077
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: the Furious movie, which also does well internationally. But I

1078
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: am a huge proponent of these movies now, but I

1079
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: will say I still have to psych myself up to

1080
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: go and watch a movie that's three hours and fifteen

1081
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: minutes even though I do not mind a long runtime

1082
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: on a movie if it is warranted, and James Cameron

1083
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: has proved to me that it is warranted, that he

1084
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: can hold my attention and my overall curiosity for that

1085
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: entire runtime. But I still have to psych myself up

1086
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: because there's something about going to the movies. Go in

1087
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: and it's daytime, and you come out and it's dark,

1088
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: You're like, man, how long was I in there? Because

1089
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: then you factor in the twenty five to thirty minutes

1090

Speaker 1: Superman again in theaters. So as soon as I'm through

1111
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: all these movies coming out in August that look really good,

1112
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: I will go back and rewatch some of the ones

1113
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: from July. But this week I'm going over to TikTok

1114
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: and shouting out Mayo Ketchup, which is a fantastic user

1115
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: name who commented on that Fantastic Four video of me

1116
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: talking about how much I love the suits and said

1117
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Eternals have much better suits, but don't

1118
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: fight me. Listen, Mayo ketchup. That is a hot take

1119
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: for sure, maybe one of the hottest ever. Like ho hot, hot,

1120
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: hot hot, because the Eternals. Oh, because aside from the

1121
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: storytelling in that movie, one of the things I dislike

1122
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: the most were the suits. And I'm big into figure

1123
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: collect and every single figure from the Eternal's movie, all

1124
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: the action figures that were made in preparation for that

1125
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: because they thought it was going to be a huge success.

1126
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: They are still sitting on shelves in discount stores across America.

1127
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: They are burning the pegs of any allays that you

1128
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: go to because people just don't want them. And why

1129
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: do they don't want them is because the suits are terrible.

1130
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: Superhero suits are what sell comic books, They're what make

1131
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: people buy tickets to go watch them in theaters. They

1132
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: sell t shirts, they sell merchandise because if a superhero

1133
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: has a cool suit, you want to see that suit,

1134
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: you want to see that logo. And man, that is

1135
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: such a hot take, because I feel like nothing about

1136
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: those suits stands out, the fact that pretty much all

1137
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: of them are the same, just different colors. They look

1138
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,959
Speaker 1: so boring to me. But to say something like that,

1139
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: that is so bold, to stand up for a movie

1140
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: that so many people people just dislike. I applaud you,

1141
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: Mayo Ketchup. You said not to fight you about this,

1142
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: so I won't fight you. I will counter you with

1143
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: saying how bad the suits are, But I respect your

1144
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: opinion to say that, so thank you for listening, thank
