1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I'm

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: your host Movie Mike a k A. Mike Destro a

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: k A. Mike D. And today I'm breaking down what

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: I think are the top five Disney soundtracks of all time.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: I'll also play you what I think are the best

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: three songs from these soundtracks and why I picked them.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Also have a Marvel movie to review, Shang Chi and

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: the Legend of the Ten Rings just came out over

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: the weekend. I got to talk about that because I

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: love Marvel. And then in movie news, well some sad

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: news to report. Looks like movie delays are kind of

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: a thing again. We'll get into a movie that I

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: was really looking forward to that's now not coming out

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: so next year, and just kind of talk about what's

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: going on with that, which is weird with box office

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: numbers this weekend. It's a whole thing now. But there's

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about on this week's episode. Appreciate

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: you being subscribed in downloading and listening to this thing

19
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: every single week. Really means a lot to me. So

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: without any further ado, let's get started. In a world

21
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast. One man

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before

23
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: in a movie podcast, a man with so much movie knowledge,

24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking audio Davie with glasses from

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the Natril podcast Networking movie movie podcas So. There are

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: a lot of great Disney songs, but that's not what

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: this list is about. I think to really take a

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: Disney movie to the next level, it has to have

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: an overall just great soundtrack, and I think that requires

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: at least three bangers in a Disney movie, three memorable songs.

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: At least a lot of Disney movies have maybe one

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: two memorable songs. What I did is just kind of

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: break down what I think are the top five just

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: completely well rounded soundtracks to Disney movies. So I put

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: together this list on what I think are the top

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: five best soundtracks, my three favorite songs from each of

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: the movie, and I kind of basically on what songs

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: are the most original, most memorable, make you want to

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: sing them after the movie. And I also looked into

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Billboard chart performances, because when these songs do get so big,

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: they actually sometimes chart on the radio or or just

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: an album sales, and recently now digitally so all those

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: things taking a consideration will also give some honorable mentions.

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: But if I don't mention a certain Disney movie, it's

45
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: not to say that they don't have at least one

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: or two memorable songs. But we're just looking at overall

47
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: composition and soundtracks that really just go hard. So let's

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: get right into it. At number five, I went with Aladdin.

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: It's the original Aladdin from and I think it actually

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: took me seeing the remake that came out in ten

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: to really understand how powerful those songs were in that movie.

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't the biggest fan of the original when I

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: was a kid. I liked it enough, but I think

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: more so than the actual story of Aladdin, I think

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: I picked apart the songs a little bit more that

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: set out to me and I kind of over time,

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: I didn't really go back to watching Aladdin as much.

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: But then when I watched the remake that came out

59
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, I realized how big those songs are

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: and how they kind of came to life again, and

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: that movie felt like a full long musical to me. Now,

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: I still think the original is the better movie, probably

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: because as a nineties kid, I'm just more gravitated to

64
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: seeing the two D animation in a Disney movie, and

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of the live action remakes.

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: I just think overall, the original Aladdin soundtrack, the way

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: those songs are recorded and they are featured in the movie,

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: I just think the original Aladdin soundtrack, the way those

69
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: songs are featured in the movie are a lot more

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: powerful than the remake, even though it's a really entertaining

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: watch as well. And not only that, when you break

72
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: down some of the songs from the movie, A Whole

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: New World is actually the only song from an animated

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Disney movie to ever go number one on Billboard Hot one.

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: So what I think are the top three songs from

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: the movie would be friend like Me, my whisper what

77
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: it is. And I think that's probably the main reason

78
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I enjoy the original more is because of Robin Williams

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: and his performance as the Genie really took it to

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: another level one that will Smith he was just never

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna touch. I'm sorry, he was just never going to

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: get close to that. And Robin Williams is just a

83
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: treasure when it comes to movies in my childhood, So

84
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: there's no kind of getting around that a number two.

85
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: The second best song would be Arabian Nights. Just a

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: very powerful song, kind of sets the stage and unlike

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: any other song I've ever heard in the Disney movie,

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: and you just can't help to want to sing along

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: to this one. But of course, the best song from

90
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: a ladd it has to be a whole New worlds

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: bring place. But now I'm in a whole new world now,

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean. And it's not that I didn't like the

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: songs remade in the remake. I just thought they didn't

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: have the exact same power, and listening back to those tracks,

95
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: you can't denied to the first one just sounded better.

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: At number four on the top Disney soundtrack list, I

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: went with Hercules from and I feel like Hercules not

98
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: only has an underrated soundtrack, but I find it to

99
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: be just an underrated Disney movie altogether. And the idea

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: for them to incorporate gospel music in a Disney movie,

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, really sets it apart. It gives the

102
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: movie an entirely different feel, and to me, it makes

103
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: it feel more heroic, and it really kind of brings

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: together and brings to life all the scenes in the movie,

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know why more people don't reference Hercules

106
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: when talking about some of the best Disney movies. I

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: think it's the music in this movie that actually tells

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: the story, and it's because they're done in gospel form.

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: They're able to through all the lyrics in every song,

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: explain what's going on into the movie and perfectly kind

111
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: of every single scene. Take it a little bit further.

112
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: They also saw some commercial success with this soundtrack, with

113
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Go the Distance by Michael Bolton ended up peaking at

114
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: number twenty four on the Billboard Hot One Back in

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: top three songs from this movie would be at number three,

116
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: A Star is Born, I'm Gonna shout up the mountain top,

117
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: so you just had that feel, that gospel field. Those

118
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: gang vocals really just bring it to life. Number two

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: from Hercules would be zero to Hero as a kid,

120
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: this soundtrack just made me happy. And then at number

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: one from Hercules would be the more emotional moment of

122
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 1: the movie, Go the Distance, The Distance. I'll be there

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: someday if I can be strong, I know every mine

124
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: will be worth by. I would go most anywhere to

125
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: feed like powerful song to me. And then there's also

126
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: the Michael Bolton version of that song, but I chose

127
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: not to include the versions done by the you know,

128
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: the singers and the credits. I just think the most

129
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: powerful version and memorable is the one actually featured in

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: the movie. So I don't even think you need to

131
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: talk about Michael bowl in there, even though he did

132
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: a really great job on that song. But that's at

133
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: number four, at number three with the best soundtracks. I

134
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: went with Mowana from and this movie came out just

135
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: five years ago, and it kind of took me until

136
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: recently watching it again to realize how triumphant this soundtrack is.

137
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: And I didn't really get this movie when he came

138
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: out in theaters. I went to go watch it, and

139
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: I was maybe I just wasn't in a mood for

140
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: a musical, right, Maybe I didn't really get how powerful

141
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: the message of that movie was and what that movie

142
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: meant to kids at the time. Then I don't know,

143
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: I just wasn't in the head space to watch Mowanna.

144
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: And then it was later I kind of realized those

145
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: songs kind of stuck in my head more and more,

146
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: and then I've rewatched this movie a couple of times since,

147
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: probably more than I rewatched any other Disney movie in

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: recent history, and I just realized how inspiring it is,

149
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: how creative the story of Mowanna is, and how much

150
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: effort by lin Manuel Mirando was put into this music.

151
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like Mowanna was really a breath of

152
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: fresh air for Disney at the time, and I thought

153
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: lin Manuel Miranda just did a really great job on it.

154
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: And he was coming off the success of Hamilton's and

155
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of setting out the show that hey, I'm more

156
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: than just the Hamilton's guy, and I think he really

157
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: proved it on this soundtrack. I mean, if you can

158
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: get Dwayne Johnson to sing and be convincing, that's why

159
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I just have to put him in the top three.

160
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: And the soundtrack itself actually peaked at number two on

161
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: the Billboard Hot two D that's the album charts, and

162
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: it would have gotten number one if it wasn't for

163
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: the weekend that just kind of dominated the charts at

164
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: this time. And the Rocks version of Your Welcome actually

165
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: peaked at number three. So what I think are the

166
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: top three songs from Juanna would be at number three.

167
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Shiny Shine Like a Trash from a Slumking Pirate, Red

168
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: scrubbed the deck and make it. This is just a

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: really cool part of the movie, a really unexpected moment,

170
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: and this song sounds so different than all the other

171
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: songs featured in this movie. I just thought this was

172
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: the funnest part to watch. Paired with this song was perfect.

173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm here, Come, Come, Come, are just the free food.

174
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: And then I mentioned it earlier, the Rocks singing You're

175
00:09:51,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: welcome the head except that one will get stuck in

176
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: your head. It's the sun the sky. It's just like

177
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: a song that makes me feel good. But at number one,

178
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: the most inspiring song of this soundtrack, and one of

179
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: the most inspiring songs and all of Disney movies would

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: be how Far I'll Go to see It calls me

181
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: no One. This is legit a song that I'll just

182
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: get stuck in my head be singing around the house

183
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: and annoying my wife with So this is song is

184
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: a part of my life. You're like, there's just no

185
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: telling how far I'll go. I know everybody on the

186
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: sign has that kind of build up, the big chorusing

187
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: by to sign. So that's at number three, getting into

188
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: the top two now, and this next one is a

189
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: perfect example of a good movie turning into a great

190
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: movie through the power of music. At number two, I

191
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: put Tarzan from Phil Collins went too hard on this one.

192
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: He did not have to create such a great soundtrack

193
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: to a movie, and I think overall the story of

194
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: Tarzan is pretty good. They weren't doing anything groundbreaking making

195
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: this Tarzan movie. The animation was nothing special, the voice

196
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: acting was good, but there was nothing that was all

197
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: out amazing about this movie. Without the music, it just

198
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: would have been a good Disney movie, not even included

199
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: on this list. But paired with the music, it really

200
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: just took that good movie and elevated it so much

201
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: more because through the music, you get the emotion and

202
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: you're able to kind of identify more with the situation

203
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: going on with Tarzan, and it kind of gives just

204
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: power to those scenes where he's learning about himself, finding

205
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: other humans and then realizing this conflict of it being

206
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: an issue of them being together again when his old

207
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: family was the gorillas who raised him and now he's

208
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: kind of torn between these two worlds. So I think

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: that is just all out to Phil Collins definitely understanding

210
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: the assignment when it came to making the soundtrack for

211
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: this movie, and it shows with You'll Be in My

212
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Heart spent nineteen weeks at number one on the Billboard

213
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: Contemporary Chart. And not only that, that song one Best

214
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: Song at the Oscars and the Golden Globes and was

215
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: even nominated for a Grammy. So critically, this soundtrack did

216
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: super well. What I think of the top three songs

217
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: from this movie at number three would be two Worlds

218
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: Trust You, at number two would be Strangers Like Me.

219
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: One of the best songs ever used in a Disney

220
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: montage was this one, So, I mean, it just has

221
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: that umph to it, Like listen at that again. The

222
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: velocity of this track just really brings the movie to life.

223
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And then at number one, of course mentioned it earlier,

224
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: You'll Be in My Heart Don't Let's Go Yes from Yeah,

225
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: So that's at number two, and I'm gonna come back.

226
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I'll give some honorable mentions and then reveal what is

227
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: that number one? Right after this? All right back here,

228
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: before I get into what I think has the number

229
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: one best Disney soundtrack, I will give some honorable mentions.

230
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I kind of listen to these all six through ten

231
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: and what I thought were contenders, but like I said

232
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: at the beginning, I felt like all these movies I

233
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: included needed to have at least three big song moments

234
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: in the movie, and these other ones have one or

235
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: two really great songs. But I just think overall, when

236
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: it comes to the overall soundtrack, they didn't really have

237
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: what met the criteria for the other one. So at

238
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: number ten I went with Frozen. It was never really

239
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: a big Frozen fan. I feel like that one was

240
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: really just geared towards kids at the time, and I

241
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: think let It Go is one of the most overused,

242
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: overplayed Disney songs of all time, which you can't really

243
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: hold that against him of how big that song became,

244
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: but I just kind of associate that with all those

245
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: YouTube videos that came out at the time of like

246
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: kids singing in the car sometimes parents just being annoyed

247
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: by this song. So I couldn't really put that any

248
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: higher than that, but I would still put Frozen one

249
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: at number ten, and number nine I went with a

250
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Little Mermaid from of Course you got part of your

251
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: World under the Sea. Some classics on this one, so

252
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: definitely deserves a top ten slot. At number eight, I

253
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: went with Lawn from nine, which was a weird thing

254
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: that they remade Mulan and took out all of the music,

255
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: which I thought kind of took away from that movie altogether,

256
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: because the soundtrack was a big part of the first one.

257
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: And it's a perfect example of if you strip out

258
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: all the music from a movie, it really turns it

259
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: into an entirely different movie. Without music, Mulan is basically

260
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: just a war movie. So that one comes in at

261
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: number eight and number seven, I went with Coco from seventeen,

262
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: very close to making the top five, but again, I

263
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: feel like there's only two songs that I really remember

264
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: from Coco, whom pocal Local and Remember Me. Great movie, though,

265
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: and it is a movie entirely based about music, but

266
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like those two songs are the ones

267
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: I kind of gravitate towards pulling out as big moments.

268
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: So one that would be close to making the top five.

269
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: And then at number six, I went with Beauty and

270
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the Beast from nineteen one. Now, this one is loaded

271
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: with a bunch of great songs, and at the core

272
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: of this movie, it is a musical, and this is

273
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: one that I felt like really lend itself well to

274
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: the live action. I think a lot of other people

275
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: didn't agree with me as liking that one more, but

276
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: I did feel like it was a cool updated verse

277
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Jan So if there was ever a case where I

278
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: would watch the live action remake versus the original animated one,

279
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: it would probably only be Beautying the Beast. It's also

280
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: just a huge Emma Watson fans, so it could be

281
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: that too. But then at number one, the movie that

282
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: defined my childhood when it came to animated movies, and

283
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: a movie that has no bad song that it was

284
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: just hard to pick three that I wanted to feature

285
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: on this and the movie is no other than The

286
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: Lion King from the song. The movie just had the

287
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: best team when it came to making the soundtrack from

288
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Elton John, Tim Rice and the score composed by Hans Zimmer,

289
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: one of the greatest composers when it comes to making movies.

290
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: And not only that, but it's the biggest selling animated

291
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: soundtrack ever. Was almost eight million copies of the soundtracks

292
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: sold in the United States alone, and can You Feel

293
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: the Love Tonight was not only a big hit in

294
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: the United States on the radio, but in tons of

295
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: other countries, so the soundtrack went international, and this is

296
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: hard to do. But I picked what I think are

297
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: the best three songs from The Lion King at number three,

298
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: the iconic the Circle of I have to open the movie.

299
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: It's inviting, Yeah you have asked, And it's a song

300
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: that all you have to hear is that opening note

301
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: to know exactly what movie it is. It's yeah, do

302
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: you have a Yeah? Circle of a live. While it

303
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: has these big triumphant numbers, it also has the funny

304
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: songs COONa matata, what a wonderful phrase. Conain't no person crazy?

305
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: It means no worries for the rest of your metato.

306
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: But then not only that, it has the romantic songs,

307
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: which I always thought this was a weird scene even

308
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: as a kid, when Nala and Simbo are reunited and

309
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: somehow they fall in love in an instant And the

310
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: whole time I was watching this, even as a kid,

311
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this really about to happen in a

312
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: Disney movie? This thing I'll wait? Too real for a kid, lovely,

313
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: And I also just think this version is a lot

314
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: better than the Elton John version, probably cause I associated

315
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: with that scene so many things to tell her about

316
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: how to make her see the truth Above my past impossible,

317
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: she turned away from me, and then, as an honorable mention,

318
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I just can't wait to be king. I've got a pasta.

319
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: You think no one's saying this when I said God too.

320
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: So that's the list. If you disagree with any of

321
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: my picks or have another song you wanted to add

322
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: to some of those movies, hit me on Twitter or

323
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Instagram at Mike Destro or send me an email at

324
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: movie Mike d at gmail dot com. Joining me now

325
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: for a movie review is my wife, Kelsey. How are you?

326
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: We just went to go see Shang Chi and the

327
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Legend of the Tin Rings. I wasn't expecting this movie

328
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: to be so good. I wasn't either, so we'll get

329
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: into our review. But if you haven't seen the trailer

330
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: for this movie yet, here's just a little bit of that.

331
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: Whether you like it or not, you are also your father.

332
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: I don't mind, man, They wouldn't be able to kill

333
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: me if they try. So. This is a superhero I

334
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: knew nothing about, and I think the reason I ended

335
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: up liking this movie so much was that I had

336
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: pretty low expectations but also know a whole lot about

337
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: this world. Aside from the fact that It's Marvel's first

338
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: movie with an Asian lead, which I thought was awesome.

339
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: And I think what kind of stood out from this

340
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: movie is that they really embraced the Asian culture and

341
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: that was kind of at the forefront of it, and

342
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: I think it made the movie feel completely different and

343
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: unlike any other Marvel movie I've seen. Right, it almost

344
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: didn't feel like your typical Marvel movie. I don't think

345
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: it followed the same formula. I don't think it had

346
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: the same kind of like overall like this happened, like

347
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: the overall like action of sequence in the movie. I

348
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: don't really feel like it followed that kind of formula,

349
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: which I thought was refreshing. It reminded me a little

350
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: bit of Thor with the humor, yes, and it was, Yeah,

351
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I kind of had that Thor humor to where it

352
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: wasn't so much like cheesy, quick little jokes. It was

353
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: a little more like Aquafina being funny like she normally is.

354
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Aquafina is a gift to this world and I'm so

355
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: glad she's in the Marvel universe now. She fits it perfectly.

356
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: I love her. So what this movie is about without

357
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: ruining anything, Shang Cheese this martial arts master and basically

358
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: has to save the world through the power of these

359
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: ten rings and the action in this movie, it's a

360
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: mix of like martial arts and also just like superhero,

361
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: like a whole other world. It kind of reminded me

362
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of Black Panther in a way. So

363
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: what I like that it wasn't a full on origin story.

364
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: It kind of takes you right into his world. Here's

365
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: the situation, here's what they need to do, and gets

366
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: right into it. It really wastes no time. I think

367
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: that was a great way to introduce this new character

368
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: to everybody, because I think what kind of gets tiring

369
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: about new superhero movies and learning about new characters is

370
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: they have to go through the whole origin story, like, oh,

371
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: how there's here's how he got his powers, Here's why

372
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: he is the way he is. You kind of jump

373
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: right into that world with this movie, and then throughout

374
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: you learn the backstory, which I thought was really cool

375
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: and they haven't really done it before. What do you

376
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: think about it? I thought it was great. I went

377
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: in a zebra expectations. I did not even watch a trailer.

378
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: I just was along for the ride. Again, I'll pretty

379
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: much go see anything that you want to see except

380
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: for scary movies. Yeah, and when it comes to Marvel,

381
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they're in that place right now where

382
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: they're going from, you know, into the new phase introducing

383
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: new characters, and this one kind of has me excited again.

384
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: I think I would like to see more of this

385
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: world and more of this kind of character. And I

386
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: think just if they were able to keep the same

387
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: kind of character development when it comes into all these

388
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: new Marvel movies, I think they're gonna be fine. You know,

389
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: I've been kind of worried of like, Okay, we just

390
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: have Spider Man now, Like what else are the Marvel

391
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: universe is am I really excited for? And I think

392
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: this is now kind of a breath of fresh air.

393
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Reminds me a lot of when Black Panther came out

394
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: and it introduced this whole kind of world of superheroes

395
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: that we didn't really know we needed, we didn't really

396
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: know we wanted. So I think that's why I enjoyed

397
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: it so much. And also just the action in this movie.

398
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes Marvel movies they get into kind of a repetitive

399
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: like here's the bad guy fighting the good guy. They

400
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: take him down. This had a whole other level of

401
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: it to where and almost mixed in like a little

402
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: bit of sci fi. Yeah, something just like now your

403
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: typical average villain. I really enjoyed it. I think, aside

404
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: from what we've talked about on this review, which we

405
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: didn't want to spoil a whole lot, but I think

406
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: also going into it not knowing a whole lot about

407
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: it kind of makes it a little bit better. That's

408
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: how I go into all movies these days, no reviews,

409
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: no trailers. You go into it just like that. I

410
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: don't remember the last time I watched maybe trailer. I

411
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: don't like when I watch a trailer and then like

412
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: all of the good parts of the movie or in

413
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: the trailer, which has happened a lot, so now I

414
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: just don't watch trailers and I just watched the movie. Yeah.

415
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to go into this movie.

416
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't think we revealed anything that would take away

417
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: from that experience. I think when people see this movie,

418
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: maybe you're not completely drawn to want to watch it

419
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: because you don't know a whole lot about it, But

420
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: from us seeing it having those same kind of feelings,

421
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: like even going into it. I didn't know that I

422
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: was going to really enjoy it. I didn't know if

423
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna like it. I don't know I who

424
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: was gonna be boring to be honest. And then within

425
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: the first I would say twenty minutes of the movie,

426
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: I was completely in and by the end of it

427
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: it kind of gave me that feeling I got maybe

428
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: back towards like when the Originals Avengers came out, like

429
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: that big kind of triumphant moment of like, Oh, I'm

430
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: excited again, I'm hype. I'll watch anything that Marvel puts

431
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: their name on. I will too until they disappoint me

432
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: that I haven't seen. What's the one that, um, I'm

433
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: gonna try my drawing a blank on his name doctor Strange. Yeah,

434
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: you haven't seen that one. And there is a character

435
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: from Doctor Strange in this movie. So it is kind

436
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: of combining all the Marvel movies. Again, if you had

437
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: to rate this one, what would you give it? Four

438
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: and a half out of five BMW's. BMW's, they didn't

439
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: get you with the product placement on that. I literally

440
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: at one point land over and I was like, is

441
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: this movie sponsored by BMW? Now? I kind of want

442
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: to BMW. If you go back and watch some of

443
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: the Marvel movies, they kind of change in between each

444
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: one of what car company they're all about, what luxury

445
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: dealership they're partnering. This one was BMW. I remember it

446
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: was very prominent in Iron Man. I think three that

447
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: they were all about Audies. But yes, it is to

448
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: the forefront. They are all about BMW in this movie.

449
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: If I had to rate it, I think I'm right

450
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: there with you. I give it four point five out

451
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: of five. Aquafineus I think she was my the actress,

452
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: not the bottle of water. Yes, the actress. We should

453
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: clarify that if anyone who Aqua is, she is she's

454
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: an actress, an actress. She's amazing. Gave herself that name, yes,

455
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's a W K A F I N A,

456
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: not like the water. I thought she was hilarious in it.

457
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: She provided that comic relief that the movie it really needed,

458
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: like it needed that kind of person, that kind of

459
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: sidekick character. She did that perfectly. And shang Chi I

460
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: thought was a really kind of different superhero just from

461
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: how he looked his powers, we kind of carried himself

462
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: and how we kind of carried the entire movie. So

463
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: I think put all those people together in this movie,

464
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: it's a hit. Like it did really well at the

465
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: box office. I think people are going to enjoy it more,

466
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: so we recommend it. He was also very attractive, Yes

467
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: he was. At one point he took a shirt off,

468
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: and even I looked over to you. I'm like, hey, man, yo,

469
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. But yeah, I think

470
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: solid Marvel movie. And another thing about this, you don't

471
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: have to watch any other Marvel movie to get this.

472
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: You could just go and not knowing a single thing.

473
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: It does reference Doctor Strange a little bit because there's

474
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: another character in there, but you had you hadn't seen

475
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: Doctor Strange, you weren't that confused. I knew that it

476
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: was a person from another Marvel movie because I recognized him. Yeah,

477
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: so you could watch this one without seeing literally any

478
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: other Marvel movie and you would get it. It's perfectly

479
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: self contained. There's nothing. There's some I guess there is

480
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: some references to what happens in Infinity War and Endgame,

481
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: but I think all the Marvel movie is now we're

482
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: gonna reference to that. It's kind of like a past thing,

483
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: just as kind of a note to those movies, but

484
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: I think moving forward, it's not a thing where you

485
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: have to have seen all the other Marvel movies. So

486
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: that's another good thing about this one. Go check it out.

487
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Let's get into some movie news now. Sad news to

488
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: report Paramount has pushed back the release of a few

489
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: movies that we're supposed to come out in. Two movies

490
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for forever. Top Gun Maverick will now

491
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: come out on March. I'm convinced this movie doesn't exist anymore.

492
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for this movie for like over two

493
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: years now, and I get the idea of wanting to

494
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: put it out to have the most amount of people

495
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: want to go and feel comfortable watching the movie, put

496
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: it out at the right time compared to other movies

497
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: coming out now. But it just doesn't make sense to

498
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: me anymore. Why not one, two, but three Paramount movies

499
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: have been delayed, especially when Marvel just had one of

500
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: the biggest openings of Labor Day weekend of all time.

501
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: Shane she dominated at the box office over the weekend,

502
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: making over seventy million dollars. That's the biggest Labor Day

503
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: opening weekend of all time. And the second biggest pandemic

504
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: opening behind Black Widow. So I get that studios are

505
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: feeling hesitant to put out their big movies that they

506
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: spend so much money on. But at this point, we've

507
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: been waiting for so long. I feel the hype is

508
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: going to go down around these movies, and there's a

509
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of other movies coming out from now and then

510
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: that we just want to watch these already. And I

511
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of find myself caring less and less about some

512
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: of these movies mentioned with each delay that comes now,

513
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: and I feel like now I'm going to hold them

514
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: to a much higher standard when I actually get the

515
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: chance to go see them in theaters. Maybe part of

516
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: this is Tom Cruise as well, because he's so big

517
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: about people going to the movies and seeing his movies

518
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: on the big screen. That's kind of his thing that

519
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna, you know, always preach for and want. Because

520
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: the other movie delayed by Paramount is Mission Impossible seven,

521
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: which will now come out on September two. That's over

522
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: a year away now, but the one to me that

523
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: hurts the most, I can't even read it right now.

524
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: I was bit excited for this movie since it was

525
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: announced and I even felt like the release date was

526
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: closer than I expected, which I was really excited about.

527
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: But now Jacks Forever is no longer coming out in October.

528
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: It's now been pushed back to February four two. I

529
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: was so excited to see this. It was the thing

530
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to the most in October, But

531
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: now I have to wait several more months to see that.

532
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: I just hope no more delay has happened and this

533
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: is it. I thought I was over talking about delays,

534
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: but apparently not. Out of all those movies, it's just

535
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: crazy to me how long Top Gun Maverick has been

536
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: delayed so far. It was supposed to come out on

537
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: July twelve, nineteen, and then it was delayed to June.

538
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: That went to March. I actually got moved up there

539
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: and then pushed back again, so I can't even keep

540
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: track anymore. We'll see these movies later eventually. I feel

541
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: like the move would be to put all these movies

542
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: on paramount. Plus. The weirdest thing to me that was

543
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: when they just put back movies the week because Ghostbusters

544
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: After Life just got pushed back from November eleventh to

545
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: November nineteen. That just makes no sense to me. But

546
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: also in movie news, the Batman with Robert Pattinson had

547
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: his first screen testing and it lasted over three hours,

548
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: and I saw nothing but good things and reviews about

549
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: the initial screening. Now, when they have these initial screenings,

550
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of a test them out, to show them

551
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: the audiences and get their reaction, kind of, you know,

552
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: the test audience, the litmus test of how good the

553
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: movie is, what needs to be changed, what scenes kind

554
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: of get reactions out of people, and what things maybe

555
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: they think aren't working. So it's not going to be

556
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: three hours when it comes out. They'll definitely chop that down.

557
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: I assume two and a half to twenty in that range,

558
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: depending on, you know, how these screenings go. But from

559
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: what I've seen and the reviews from this screening, it

560
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: seems like it's a really darker Batman. It's rated are,

561
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: and it has more of what they say is like

562
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: a horror movie feel, which excited to me, because if

563
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna reimagine Batman now tell a different story, you

564
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: kind of have to go that even darker and gritty

565
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: year round in the dark night. And I hear that

566
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Robert Pattinson is a really great Batman, so I'm really

567
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: excited to see this one. It comes out on March four.

568
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: Another thing I'm excited about coming out in October on

569
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus is a documentary on the first Paranormal Activity,

570
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: and they also announced that a Paranormal Activity prequel will

571
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: be released in two and it will be exclusively on

572
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus, which I also have. And there's not a

573
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: whole lot there right now. I wouldn't suggest getting Paramount Plus.

574
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: The thing I like about it it does have old

575
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: nineties and Nickelodeon shows, which I grew up on, but

576
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: as far as movies that are on the model of

577
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: forty five days after they're in theaters, they come on

578
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus. So as far as new movies, still not

579
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot there. But I actually really like the

580
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: original Paranormal Activity franchise. I kind of liked and got

581
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: into that found footage trend that was the thing for

582
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: a while, and I think Paranormal Activity did it the best.

583
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: They did that movie for so cheap and made so

584
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: much money that I will watch this documentary, and I'm

585
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: also excited to see a prequel, So that'll it for

586
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: movie news. That'll do it for this episode. But what

587
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: I do every single week is give a shout out
