WEBVTT - Jason Weaver Meets World 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.440 Hey everyone, Before we jump into today's episode, we wanted 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.280 to send you guys a message because I'm sure you 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:08.000 have heard a little bit about what's going on in 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.600 Hollywood these days. As you may have heard, the WGA 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.480 has been on strike for a while and recently SAG 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.360 after It joined in with the fight. Writer Will and 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.439 myself have all been a member of SAG after A 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.239 for thirty plus years and we fully support this strike. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.480 When the strike was announced, a lot of questions were 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.800 opened up. Is doing pod Meets World going against the strike? 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.120 Is doing Pod Meets World the live tour going against 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.560 the strike? And there were a lot of tweets spelling 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.720 out what you can do and cannot do. There was 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.040 the SAG after A website that tried to be as 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.680 clear as possible, but we did not want to do 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.640 anything that could have possibly gone against the strike, So 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.000 we reached out individually to our SAG representatives and ask 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.720 them directly, is Pod Meets World allowed? Is the Pod 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.960 meets World live tour allowed? And we have been given 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.279 the green light by our SAG representatives, So with that 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.760 we feel comfortable continuing to do Pod Meats World and 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.959 going on tour with podmeats world life. So continue to 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.000 enjoy our episodes and we will. 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:16.280 See you on the road. Yes, Keidan, thank you for listening. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.400 We would like to thank listener Jason P. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.400 Who was kind enough to point out something currently living 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.040 on the internet that I figured was a perfect look 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:42.840 into the heart and soul of one of us hosts. Oh, 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.320 especially when it comes to our likes and dislikes. And 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.400 I won't make us wait any longer. Writer, do you 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.640 enjoy using the Letterboxed app? 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:58.080 Oh? I'm obsessed? Do okay? Jensen is too. I don't 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:02.840 even know what this is? What is knsboieq okay. 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:08.280 So Letterboxed is essentially a movie social media app, a 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.120 movie watching social media app. But it's become like the 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.440 central database for any movie lover. You can look any 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.320 you can look up any movie and ever made like 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.800 short films, obscure, you know, silent films, whatever. It's compiled 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.920 all of them and it's the best interface. And what 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.480 you can do is keep track of the movies you're watching, 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.519 the movies you want to watch. You can create lists 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.480 of whatever you want. People leave reviews. It's basically like 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.200 the entire like film community. 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.640 Geeks out together. It's nerd. It's nerd stuff. For this, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:43.640 here's what I love it for. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.480 I mean, I'm not like I'm not put posting reviews, 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.160 like I've thought about it, and I definitely publicly post 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.680 my like my stars movies. So I go back and 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.280 but you know, like I've rated I don't know, like 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.720 six hundred eight hundred movies. 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.120 There are people who've rated like four thousand films. 0:02:59.120 --> 0:02:59.239 You know. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.480 It's like people that I follow who are professional film 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.880 critics or filmmakers that just the sheer amount of like 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.160 film knowledge, it's insane. And then everybody can put their 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.560 top four, which is a great sort of like way 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.720 to know, like if you agree with somebody's taste or not, 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.639 is you get to see their top four just underneath 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.160 their Yeah, really what I wish because now this has 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.239 become my go to app to like share movies with people, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:25.640 you know, like I have friends who are like what 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.440 should I watch? Or you know, what should I watch 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.639 with my kid? Or and so I can just send 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.519 them a list that I've curated. But mostly it's to 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.000 be able to search my own memory because I forget crap, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.480 you know, I forget what I've seen and so this way, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.040 there's like a place I can go when somebody's like, 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.040 I really like this movie, do you have any ideas 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.520 or just in a conversation something comes up. I can 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.840 look back on all the movies I've watched in that vein, 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.840 And I really wish this existed for books, because I 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.200 can't do the same thing with books. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.800 Good Reads is just not that great of an app well. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.880 As I said, one of our listeners was kind of 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.760 have to point out that your letterboxed profile and reviews 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:07.200 are viewable by the public, and as he said, I quote, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.640 this is a small glimpse into the most harsh critic 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.080 of Boy Meets World and himself, and he has some 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:22.400 absolutely wild beliefs. Yeah, you haven't actually posted reviews, which 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.719 I wish you did for some of them. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.839 So are you ready to defend some of your takes? God? 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.200 Okay, So I want to start with some of your 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.279 highest rated films for context and to prove that you 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.520 aren't just a hater. Okay, Okay, the department can we 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.320 guess some Okay, I was gonna say, all right, I 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:44.280 was five done, Yeah Tomorrow, five stars, Coco, five stars, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.799 Great Movie, Training Day, five stars, uncut Gems five stars. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.280 There will be Blood five stars. Also, Jensen and I 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.560 were thrilled to see one of your hot takes is 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.760 something we agree with. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:03.360 Downsizing four and a half stars, terrible movie. I've been 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.800 when you revisit it. I have a lot of opinions 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.680 about that film. Yeah, that movie. Love terrible film. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.320 Yeah, I think it is. I mean, I'm a huge 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.920 Alexander Payne like fanatic. And when that movie came out, 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.440 I went to like an early screening and I kind 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.640 of knew. I was like, oh, there's something. Well, I 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.280 don't know if we want to get into it, but yeah, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:21.800 I love that movie. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.320 Okay, we can discuss that later, but I want to 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.520 now onto the. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.599 Bottom of your barrel. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.920 And I I have to admit some of these are 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.120 just shocking, but I I know you will be excited 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:37.120 to defend them. So maybe Top Gun, Maverick one and 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.240 a half stars. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:38.560 Wrong. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.000 Yeah, it's just not for me. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.760 No, it wasn't It wasn't it. But you just didn't 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.520 like it. It doesn't mean it was a bad movie 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.839 because it was a great movie. Well, I mean, I 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:53.159 mean I'm making sure yeah, and acting and story, I 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.799 mean everything about it was good. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.080 You just didn't like it. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.080 I guess it depends on what you by everything about 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:06.200 it being good, like a story as fan service, right 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.640 Like I look at a movie like that and I 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.680 feel like, Okay, so the Christopher mcquarie, who's in a 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.919 great screenwriter wrote a top gun fan service movie, Like 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.400 that's not interesting to me, Like that is execute that film. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:20.200 I'll tell you this. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.640 We went to the like it's it's it's incredibly well made. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.159 But like I feel the same way about most superhero movies. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.080 That's why I give them one star or half a star, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.000 is because I'm like what I'm for me my, Like 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.680 I evaluate films for how far they're pushing in a 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.120 cultural conversation, and I feel like a movie like that, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:37.800 it's just. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.000 Your only category is just how far we're pushing big one. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.320 It's a big part of it. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.040 Like I like originality, right Like I like something that 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.640 is like my The ideal movie going experience for me 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.520 is I know nothing about it. I sit down and 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.520 I'm told I'm taken on a journey that takes me 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.560 somewhere I've never been before. And then when I come back, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.360 I run and go back there and watch it again 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.800 or think about it, you know, afects my life in 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.159 some way, And so that's why I revised stuff, because 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.400 it's like I'll give something a lower rating, but then 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.680 I'll be like, three days later, I'm still thinking. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:08.840 About it, so I bump it up. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.760 So where do you? Where would you come? I'm like, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.720 I will never think about Top Gun. Like when I 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.920 walked into Top Gun, I was one person. When I 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.160 walked out, I'm the same person. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:16.320 Right. 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.480 My thoughts in the world never change if you're talking 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:19.119 about the world. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.920 If I if I if you said to me, I 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.400 really love Top Gun, Maverick, I don't say that tells 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.840 me something about Will's view of the world. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.240 No, but this means nothing. It's popcorn. It's fun. Fine, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.320 it's fun. Where does where does? Where? Where? 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.360 Would it then fall in the review of the movie 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.800 that it was the movie that single handedly got people 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.880 back into the theater. That's like, it's right, but would 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.640 that add to the experience at all? Like the because 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.760 you're talking about how it pushing the culture full star 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.920 Otherwise it would just be one tough critic, a harsh 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:49.240 I know, I don't. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.000 We do not need to deep dive on all of 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.360 these I just I'm going to a few of them. Okay, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.800 Almost Famous two and a half stars. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.080 I agree with you on that movie. I think that 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:57.920 movie kind of poopy. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.440 I'm almost famous, Okay, Ace Ventura one and a half stars. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.320 The Mask a point five star, John Wick point five star, 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.840 which is the same rated Sharknado. You also gave half 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:10.960 a star to Heat. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.400 Oh my god, I'm the big anti Heat. I have 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:16.560 opinions about that. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:22.559 You're also anti Scarface. You gave one star Big one star? 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.400 What No, No, No, that's wrong Big. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.960 It says Big. That's why. No, but Big should be 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.160 five stars. I love Big. I just rewatch it with Indy. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.880 That's a mistake. That's a mistake, a huge mistake. 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.520 No, Biggest is way up there. Why didn't you like 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.679 John Wick? I'm just curious. I never finished it. If 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.080 I gave it half a star, it means I usually 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.199 didn't finish the movie. I think the first twenty minutes 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.280 of John Wicker amazing, and then when I was like, oh, 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.400 oh he's we're just the fun of this movie is 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:46.840 just a ballet of violence. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.520 We're just watching him shoot people in the head. I 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:48.840 don't care. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.599 So yeah, it's just John Wu. It's bringing back the 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.199 Asian film did you like do you like John Wu 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.199 stuff and all that the kind of old school Okay. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.280 I don't think I've ever seen that much. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.199 No, I don't like just like fun killing movies, Like 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.920 like you know, kill Bill one is like the most 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.640 boring thing in the world to me. Kill Bill two 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.199 finally has some story. But like I know that I'm 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.120 on the outside of most people on that, Like I 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:15.800 just don't love Like, like I said, I totally tap out. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.480 Why did you give rat Tattuui one star? That's a 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.160 good question. I need to watch it. I'm not a fan. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.199 I think it is one of the most awkward. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.680 Like, like you know, there's always with world building, and 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.160 especially with Pixar world building, there's like there's a buy 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.560 in factor, right, And like I think with Ratituey there 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.520 was a fundamental buy in problem with him puppeteering a 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:41.360 chef with his It never worked for it, Like I 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.760 just could never buy in. And I know that they 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.000 had lots of problems with that script and with that director, 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.199 like they and and it feels it feels like a 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:48.719 cheat to me. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.120 Now. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.040 The moment the chef has the flashback to his childhood 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.920 where he tastes ratatuy is such a phenomenal cinematic moment. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.040 I just think it would have been an awesome twenty 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.760 minute short film, like it would have been just a 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.360 ate twenty minute short film. Patton Oswald I love so, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.280 I love his voice, so there's lots to be loved. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:06.960 But I need to revisit it because it's the one 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.120 Pixar I haven't watched with Indy, Like we've watched all 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.120 of them otherwise, and I usually love them, but Ratitude 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:14.160 is not up there. 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.000 Did you like UP?

It's based on movies, based 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.240 on either they're like biographic, but they're like super formal, 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.920 like I'll write like sonnets or villain l's. Like I 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.319 give myself this challenge of like, all right, let's take 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:33.040 a movie that I. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.240 Love and I don't know why this is happened. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.680 So maybe someday I'll start posting those as my reviews 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.240 on letter box A different question. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.920 Great idea, And also will I encourage you to start 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.320 a letterboxed because I think between you and writer and 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.240 the way you guys feel feel about movies.

I mean, and you know, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.359 when I say talented, that's kind of an understatement. You 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.520 know a lot of those a lot of the kids 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.840 that are on that show were seasoned actors by that time. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:32.000 It been in you know, a few films, and you know, 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:36.280 just really understood how to conduct themselves professionally on set, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.800 how to you know, how to show up being prepared. 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.600 You know.

Although we 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.600 were in most of the time in one hundred degree 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:59.400 plus heat, you know, although those were kind of circumstances, 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.200 I think we were all just you know, we had 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.840 that youthful adrenaline. You know, I think we all recognized 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.040 that this was a unique moment in all of our lives. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.400 You know, I think it's kids, all of us when 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.400 we're in that moment at that time, you know, we're 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.720 just kind of we're kind of there. I don't think 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.040 we have any kind of preak and sived ideas to 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.240 where we're gonna go next, and we have some kind 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.959 of strategy as to where we're going to take our 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.639 careers moving forward forward. We're kind of just in that 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.199 moment in processing everything and having fun at the same time. So, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.120 you know, that was my That was my experience as well. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.639 You know with Summertime Switch, it was you know, me 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.520 and Wrter, although we really didn't get a chance to 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.159 work on a lot of scenes together because we were 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.720 shooting in you know, two separate you know, different kind 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.439 of scenarios, if you will, But the moments that we 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.800 did have that you know, allowed us to come together 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.359 and work together and and hang out. It was It 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.480 was great, one of the more rewarding experiences when I 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.400 look back, you know, of my career.
