Speaker 1: Yeah, I have that, just it was so nice and

6
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: now having to get back to regular life, it's like, uh, yeah.

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 3: I took the Friday off before we went on vacation

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 3: too because I was about to have a mental breakdown

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 3: from life. And our water heater broke and our power

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: had gone out that week and it was just like

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: everything and I was like, I need.

12
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: It's been one thing after another for a while now.

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then our closet broke this morning.

14
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: A lot of things going on, but it could be worse.

15
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: It's just small things.

16
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: But yes, I have the post vacation scaries thinking about

Speaker 1: Popped app best and worst movies of June. Kick us off.

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: What was the best thing in your opinion?

28
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: It was the last thing we saw in June. It

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: was f one exciting. It was really good.

30
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: We always see a movie on the day that we

31
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: get to Scottsdale for vacation because there's a really nice

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: mall in theater there and usually we have to kill time.

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: So we were already planning to go see it, and

34
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: then we didn't have to kill time because our room

35
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: was ready, but we were like, let's still go see it.

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: We also kind of go into it and we're like, well,

37
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: if we need to take a nap, but it was

38
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: so good that I didn't want to take a nap.

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: I will like to shout out the theater that we

40
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: go to in Scottsdale, which I guess it's a regional chain.

41
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

42
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: I think it's like West Coast Harkins Harkins, Yeah, And

43
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: it's the one at the Scottsdale Fashion Quarterball.

44
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Big mall as a very nice theater.

45
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: We love to do a lap around them all there,

46
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: and I.

47
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Do feel like the overall quality of that movie. Theater

48
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: added to me enjoying it because it was it wasn't

49
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: on iMX, but just their normal screen alone was so

50
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: much like bigger and crisp, and it had like the

51
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: big stadium seating which we have here technically.

52
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it also was just like a bigger theater.

53
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

54
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Just overall it was bigger, maybe even twice the size

55
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: of some of our theaters here.

56
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they had doctor Pepper products so I could

57
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: get a diet Doctor Pepper, which is usually unheard of.

58
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: It almost has like an old school movie style vibe

59
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: as far as the theater, but very new and refreshed.

60
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: The picture quality on that screen was just really great.

61
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: The sound was really great, which I think really adds

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: to F one because of all of the sound design

63
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: in that movie, sound to the cars and the sound effects,

64
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: but also like the way the music is used. So

65
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: I feel like that really put all the sounds of

66
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: that movie at the forefront, and I felt it.

67
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great theater.

68
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: We got there about tickets like five minutes before the

69
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: movie starts, which isn't usually us normally we're like a

70
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: week in advance. But we got perfect seats. It's great.

71
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: It was nice to like escape the heat for a

72
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: little bit. But back to the movie. Yeah, the movie

73
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: was great. I just loved like the way they filmed

74
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: it was really cool. I loved like the shots that

75
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: felt like you were in the car, the like pit stops.

76
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: I loved Damson Idris. I think he's British. I think so,

77
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: and I saw that he might be the new Black

78
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: Panther that would He was great in it.

79
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt was great.

80
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: But I did see an article that was like brad

81
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Pitt's like kind of on like an image rehab tour,

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, yeah, this movie makes you

83
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: like Brad Pitt again.

84
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: But then there's all those terrible things that he apparently did.

85
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: So it's like separating art from artists a little bit.

86
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Because we did leave thinking like, oh man, he was

87
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: so good in it. He had so much charisma. You

88
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: realize why he is the level of movie star that

89
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: he is because that movie is just him, like being

90
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: classic Brad Pitt of even like the way he laughs,

91
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the way he just owns every scene that he is in,

92
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: and then you kind of realize for a person to

93
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: get to that point and they have to be maybe

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: sometimes not the best person.

95
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, a tortured person to be that creative.

96
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: And you just look at like the relationship he has

97
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: with his kids allegedly, you know, there's a lot there, Angelina.

98
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: It's a great movie.

99
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily endorsing bread Pitt as a human, but yeah,

100
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: it was just really good. I didn't think I'd be

101
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: into like racing movies, but now I want to go

102
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: to an F one race.

103
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, which I think is what the movie

104
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: is doing now. It's inspiring a lot of people to

105
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: get interested in the sport, which, like, what better commercial

106
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: than the brad bits that are in a movie about

107
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: F one. I think I low key really enjoy racing

108
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: movies now because for v Ferrari was also a really

109
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: good one. Even Grand Tarisma that we saw was not

110
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: maybe last year or the year before that. That's a

111
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: pretty middle of the road racing movie. But just the formula,

112
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: even though it's kind of predictable, it's all kind of

113
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: like you know what is going to happen, It has

114
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: all the same kind of elements. It's still entertaining as

115
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: far as like sports movies go.

116
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: Didn't feel like it was two and a half hours.

117
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes by really quickly, and I think overall,

118
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: the formula of a racing movie is just amla Formula one.

119
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: The formula of Formula one is just exciting. I kind

120
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: of want to go back and revisit some classics that

121
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: maybe I haven't seen, and I think I would to

122
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: watch a sequel to F one, But what do you

123
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: call it?

124
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: F one?

125
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: F two, F one part two, F one, part two one. Overall,

126
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this one as well. And it's from

127
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: the same director who did Top Gun Maverick, which I

128
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: feel like really added to that level of action of

129
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: like making you feel like you're a part of it

130
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: and you feel the rev of the engine in your seat.

131
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: And then you have like Jerry Brockheimer as a producer.

132
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: Hans Zimmer did the score right. Yeah, So it's like

133
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: all the people that have done big movies over the

134
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: years like kind of built. I'm like, this is what

135
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: Apples should be spending their money on. Yeah, this is

136
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: what Apples should be spending their money.

137
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: On, which is good for them to now have a

138
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: big hit on their hands. And I think overall it's

139
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: just a really crowd pleasing movie. That I feel like

140
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: you could take your eighty year old grandma to watch

141
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: it and also like your eight year old and everybody

142
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: would find something that they enjoy in it because it's

143
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: like there's nothing crazy to the plot. It's pretty easy.

144
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: They want to win a race to bring their team

145
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: back to or they're never been victorious to bring it

146
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: its first victory. Can they do? That's that's all you

147
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: need to know. That was really close to being my

148
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: favorite of June. But I think for my favorite I'm

149
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: going with twenty eight years Later, just because I think overall,

150
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: when I picked probably my top ten of the year,

151
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight years Later easily gets in. I don't know

152
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: if f one gets in. But even that movie I

153
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: rated a four point five out of five, I still

154
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: have not given out a five this year. I've been

155
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: really close, which for me, a five has to be

156
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: life changing to me. There hasn't been a movie like

157
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: that this year, even though it's been a really solid year.

158
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: I think the most four point five out of fives

159
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: I've given out at this point of the year. So

160
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: I think, after all is said and done, twenty eight

161
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: years Later is going to be a movie that I

162
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: see as like, oh, that's kind of a tent pole

163
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: of where that franchise is going to go. So that's

164
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: why I enjoy that one just a little bit more

165
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: than F one, because I think leaving F one, I

166
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: was writing more on the adrenaline of it than the plot,

167
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: because it is so exciting. When you look at just

168
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: the plot of that movie, it didn't really break any

169
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of ground that makes stand out above any other

170
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: racing movie, but done really well as good as you

171
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: can make a racing movie.

172
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I think that's a good comparison analysis.

173
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: So that's why I rate it just a little bit higher.

174
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: But overall a solid month for June. But we will

175
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: talk now about our worst of the month. What do

176
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: you have as your worst?

177
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: Shockingly, both of these were Apple films. One was Theater,

178
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: one was released on streaming. I'm Gonna go Echo Valley.

179
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Sydney Sweeney movie.

180
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

181
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: Julianne Moore, Sidney Sweeney.

182
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a thriller book to me, where

183
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: it's just like you're wanting more, but it's like how

184
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: it's kind of tropy, like how many times can you

185
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: rewrite a similar plot of her daughter as an addict

186
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: comes to her for money, something happens, needs her to

187
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: clean it up. Things happen. It felt like a thriller

188
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: book that I've read before.

189
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: It fell overall, like I don't read those thriller books

190
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: that you read. It just felt kind of the formula

191
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: of a lot of shows and movies right now, where

192
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: something goes wrong and then you have these people who

193
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: have never been in this situation before. Again, we try

194
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: not to give away a lot of the black details,

195
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: but it just felt like this is kind of the

196
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: pool that a lot of things are going to right now,

197
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: and it's hard for something to stand out unless you

198
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: do it really well. It also felt to me like

199
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: maybe at some point this could have been a series,

200
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: but there wasn't enough story to make it a serious

201
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: so they condensed it into a movie.

202
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Apple sometimes does that where it's like they make a

203
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: series and it's like this should have been a movie.

204
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: I feel like they struggle with that.

205
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes, Yeah, where it's like, in this case, it was

206
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: just enough to even be a movie because it was

207
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: only like an hour and a half maybe a little

208
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: bit over that.

209
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't bad.

210
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: If you're looking for something, you're bored, there's nothing else.

211
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: You just kind of want to palette cleanser. Like I said,

212
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 3: it's like reading a thriller, Like I'll read a thriller

213
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: between serious books, like when I just need something quick

214
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: that I can probably predict, and that's just going to

215
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: keep me turning the page.

216
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: Easy read. So it was easy watch.

217
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it could have been great, but there

218
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: was just something keeping it from being great. Yeah, and

219
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: also I think Sidney Sweeney's character was really insufferable. Maybe

220
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: that was by design because what her character is going through,

221
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: but her entire relationship with her mom I found really

222
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: just toxic and kind of annoying.

223
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: And Julianne Moore being kind of an enabler. And that's

224
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: not a spoiler that's in the trailer.

225
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: That's literally the whole kind of premise of this movie,

226
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: of her constantly trying to bail out her daughter. Sometimes

227
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: it's hard for me whenever they do write such an

228
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: insufferable character that you're supposed to be annoyed by, because

229
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: I think they're doing their job and making you feel

230
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: annoyed towards them, but then you just find the whole

231
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: thing annoying. So I felt a reaction in my body

232
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: every time her character was on screen, and the more

233
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: trouble that she got into, you're like, oh, come on,

234
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: like what is exactly going on here? But the movie

235
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: still look good. Again, it's an Apple movie, so it

236
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: still has like that visual style dark, very dark.

237
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: You literally can't watch anything that's on Apple in the daytime.

238
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: The sun has to be downe.

239
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: Unless it's a comedy. In they're like, okay, we gotta

240
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: do bright colors and make it a comedy like Stick

241
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: is very.

242
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: Stick but even like the studio was like kind of

243
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: but it was kind of dark visually again platonic, you're

244
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: right as brighter ted Lasso. Yeah, comedies they tend to

245
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: use brighter colors and all of their dramas are like

246
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: you need to be able to turn the brightness up

247
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: on your TV friends and neighbors.

248
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Netflix kind of does the opposite, and I think they

249
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: make their content now knowing that people watch on their

250
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: phones and their iPads or wherever you watch it, that

251
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: they make everything so so bright, so no matter what

252
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: you're watching it on, it keeps your eyes on it.

253
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: It does make for a better viewing experience, it does,

254
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: But all the things start to look the same.

255
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: They all kind of have like that greenish orange kind

256
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: of filter on it where it's like almost a Netflix

257
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: filter that everybody has to use now.

258
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: But everything on Apple looks the same.

259
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: It's all dark. Maybe they're all just going for their

260
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: own profiles.

261
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of like how network television has

262
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: certain like ways that they film. Gray's Anatomy has a

263
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: color scheme that's much different than what er was on NBC,

264
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: So it's like an NBC versus ABC thing. And I

265
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: don't know how to describe it other than that, I.

266
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Know what you mean. And I think back in the day,

267
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe ten even twenty years ago, it was more important.

268
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: So when you're clicking through channels, different color palettes make

269
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: you want to stop on that channel and.

270
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: You know, like what channel you're on, almost by the

271
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: way things are filmed.

272
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: But now it's not we're not flipping channels. We are

273
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: going streaming service to streaming service. I don't know if

274
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: you really need that anymore, but that's just us being weird,

275
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: of like the way things we watched.

276
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: So much TV in movies, so we notice it.

277
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, run your worst. We get so into streaming service.

278
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: Echo Valley.

279
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: Your Worst was Echo Valley. My Worst was a movie

280
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: you wanted to go see, and I initially, speaking of

281
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: streaming movies, I thought it was a straight streaming movie.

282
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: It is Bright Hard with Rebel Wilson.

283
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't like I was necessarily like, this is gonna

284
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: be a great movie, but it's been so hot that

285
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: we also like turning the air up in our house

286
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: and then going to summer colder.

287
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: So it was like, it's a good Saturday afternoon movie.

288
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Which I'll go see anything.

289
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: We every little limited pays for itself.

290
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just two visits, not an AD.

291
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: So I was like, let's just go see it.

292
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: But when you describe this movie to me, it's Rebel Wilson,

293
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: who plays like a secret agent.

294
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,479
Speaker 2: And Anna Camp who they were both in Pitch Perfect together.

295
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: And they go on her bacheorette party, and while she's

296
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: on this bachelorette party, Rebel Wilson goes off like on

297
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: a secret mission. Their friendship is in jeopardy, and then

298
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: she has to essentially rescue them all from some bad guys.

299
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Brideheart kind of a play on die Hard, obviously, So

300
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're getting into a female led

301
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: Diehard movie where she is trying to take out all

302
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: of these bad guys who were holding her friends and

303
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: family hostage. And like you said, you weren't going into

304
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: this expecting it to be the best movie ever.

305
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: It made me laugh more than I expected.

306
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: But it was just one of those movies that you think,

307
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: how did this get greenlit? And how did how'd they

308
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: find the money for it?

309
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: Listen.

310
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: It also had Davine and Joy Randolph and I will

311
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: see anything that she's in.

312
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: She's the best part of the movie.

313
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: I will see anything that she's in. Serious, funny, she

314
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: does it all. She's amazing about down to her.

315
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: It's just it was interesting to me because it is

316
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: a really if you think about the situation that they

317
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: all get into, held at gunpoint by these criminals. There

318
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: was no way that it felt dark in anyway, because

319
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: could you imagine that happening. You go to a wedding

320
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and it gets taken over pipe people and then you're

321
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: held hostage because they're trying to rob you. That would

322
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: be a terrifying movie if done in any other style

323
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: of right, But it's a comedy, so it feels so cartoonish,

324
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and I think overall, the action is what kind of

325
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: drove me crazy because she is this like elite level

326
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: secret agent and she doesn't grab a gun like her

327
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: whole thing is like finding random objects to beat these

328
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: people up with. So it was almost like Three Stooges

329
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: esque or instead of like I'm gonna take this gun

330
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: from you and shoot all these bad guys, it's like, no,

331
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go take the wedding cake and throw it

332
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: in your eyes and then make you slip on a

333
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: banana peel. So it was kind of like a live

334
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: action cartoon.

335
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: It was reminiscent of kind of when Melissa McCarthy was

336
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 3: doing all the like slapstick comedies.

337
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she had a good run in the twenty tens.

338
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Me laugh.

339
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that's the only thing that kept me from

340
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: enjoying this movie is the time that it came out,

341
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: Like maybe ten years ago, this would have worked a

342
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: little bit more.

343
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: Listen. It was better than a simple Favor two.

344
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, simple Favor two.

345
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: We didn't even finish.

346
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: We didn't finish it, we didn't even review it because

347
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: it was so bad.

348
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: So at least this one had some giggles.

349
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: I'll also give a full recap of every single movie

350
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: I and you and I watched in June. Started off

351
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: with The Venetian Scheme, which I gave a four out

352
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: of five. Predator Killer of Killers was an animated movie

353
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: on Hulu which I just watched kind of randomly. I'm

354
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: with the biggest Predator fan, but that was awesome. I

355
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: gave that one a four out of five, and want

356
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: to see more of those Materialists, which we both love.

357
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: I gave a four point five out of five. How

358
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: to Train Your Dragon I gave a three point five

359
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: out of five. Echo Valley for Me was a three

360
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: out of five. Twenty eight years later was a four

361
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: point five out of five. Brideheart, which I mentioned I

362
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: gave a two out of five, and f one I

363
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: give a four point five out of five. All right,

364
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: those are our best and worst movies of the month.

365
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: What about TV shows? What do you have as your best?

366
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: Easy?

367
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: Uh?

368
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: We were liars on Amazon Prime. Benched it on Vacation.

369
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: Came out like two weeks ago, and I was saving

370
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: it and it's based on like a young adult book,

371
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: and I thought it was great. Now I want to

372
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: read the book. It was one of those where I

373
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: was glad. I hadn't read the book before, but now

374
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: it made me want to read the book easy, kind

375
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: of like teen dark drama.

376
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: Couldn't wait to finish it. It was so good. I watched

377
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: like six episodes in one day that.

378
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: The fastes you watched the TV show recently.

379
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: No cause I can binge a Netflix show in a day.

380
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: I probably would have finished this in a couple days,

381
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: but I liked waking up in the morning and like

382
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: having my coffee and watching it, so I made it

383
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: last a couple days, and then one night I stayed

384
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: up and watched almost all of it.

385
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I will say in June we had to run there

386
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: of finishing a series like every Weekend, which was good.

387
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: There was a lot of good stuff at once, and

388
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: now it's kind.

389
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: Of listen, it's too hot to leave the house.

390
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: We don't have access to a pool, our backyard gets

391
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: swarmed with mosquitoes. It's hot and humid. I have no

392
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: interest in going in the outdoors. It cost too much

393
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: money to leave the house. It's true, So put me

394
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: on the couch and start a Netflix show.

395
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: For my best TV show of June, un easily goes

396
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: to Squid Game Season three, which I enjoyed the whole thing.

397
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: I know some people, I think people are always going

398
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: to have a problem with how a series like this ends.

399
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: You're never gonna please everybody.

400
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: People are always gonna have a problem with everything.

401
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: But I think with finales in particular, because people want

402
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: answers to everything. People want everything to be resolved in

403
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: a way that's just not possible. But for me, I

404
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: always look at the journey of a TV show like,

405
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: did I go through something with these characters that will

406
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: be lasting to me that affected me emotionally? If it

407
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: does by the end of it, like, that's all I

408
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: care about. I don't care that every detail gets completely

409
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: like here's exactly what you thought, here's exactly what happened,

410
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Everything like tied up in a nice little package. I

411
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: just want to go on a journey with these characters.

412
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: And that is what I felt at the end of

413
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Squid Game. Is it weird that I didn't even feel

414
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: like it was a TV show? Because it felt so

415
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: real to me that when I click an episode a

416
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Squid Game, it doesn't feel like I'm watching a TV show.

417
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm inside of a world. And I

418
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: think that is a sign of something really just different

419
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: and captivating that some shows I watch and it feels

420
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: a little bit like a chore. Like whenever there's a

421
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Netflix show and there's eight episodes up already, I'm like,

422
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: oh man, I got to get through eight episodes. It

423
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: feels like, oh I'm doing something. I'm like doing homework.

424
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: When I watch Squid Game, it's just like I'm in it.

425
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: I don't look at the runtime. I don't look at

426
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: how many episodes are left in the season, just because

427
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: I completely get sucked into the show and that's all

428
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: I think about. And I haven't had a show like

429
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: that in a really long time. I loved it. I

430
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: thought the ending was great. I thought it was satisfying

431
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: to me, and I think it's built a world now

432
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: that is going to be long last thing, hopefully with

433
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: spin offs and maybe prequels. I think there's a lot

434
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: they can do with it. But again, you're not gonna

435
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: make everybody happy, so I think any of the negative

436
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: reviews that are coming out, it's just people upset on

437
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: how it ended. But we did talk about going on vacation,

438
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: where do we go went to Scottsdale and why do

439
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: we go there?

440
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: Because we like the because it's hot.

441
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: It's hot, there's a pool, there's a nice room that

442
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: we can keep like sixty six degrees. And honestly, it's

443
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: also cheaper during the summer because nobody wants to go

444
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 3: to the desert.

445
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: Best and worst of vacation.

446
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: The worst was like leaving. I didn't want to leave.

447
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 3: The best was just kind of being able to unplug,

448
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: sleep in, have no plans. We were never like, Okay,

449
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 3: we have to be here at this time. Like it

450
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: was fully just like what do we want to do?

451
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: We went to a baseball game. Yeah, it was just

452
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 3: being able to like kind of disengage for a bit.

453
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: For me.

454
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: Best and worst. I think best was the baseball game,

455
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: just because I think that's where that's kind of become

456
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: our thing throughout our entire relationship. But go into baseball games,

457
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: which I don't know how we both discovered that we

458
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: both enjoy doing that. I think it was I mean,

459
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: it's sorry with Chicago.

460
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: No, we went to a Roundick Express game.

461
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Ah, sorry, we were, and then we were we started

462
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: in minor leagues.

463
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were both like, I like baseball because I

464
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: grew up watching baseball on TV with my grandparents and

465
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: we used to go to Round Rock Express games all

466
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: the time, and then yeah, our first vacation together was

467
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: a trip to Chicago and we saw the Cubs versus

468
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: the White Sox, and then ever since then, we just

469
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: started going to baseball games.

470
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: But not I regally, which a lot of people think

471
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: we went to.

472
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: Right now, we've only been to guaranteed rate Field.

473
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: I think it's just Rate Field now too, which is

474
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: even more confusing.

475
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: But we are I know, we talked about seeing Wicked

476
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: on Broadway Broadway when we go to New York next month.

477
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: We're also going to a Yankees Animats game.

478
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Do you think we can go to all of the

479
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: MLB parks in our lifetime?

480
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: I'd love to. I feel like we've kind of already

481
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: started that unintentionally.

482
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: I think we try to do that.

483
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds great.

484
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: So that was my best just because I love I

485
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: love just being in a baseball park, and I think

486
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: that's where we just have like it's also we do

487
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: it towards the beginning of vacation, where it all feels

488
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: like fresh and new and we're not thinking about the

489
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: end of it. My foul balls, Yeah, we got very

490
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: close getting nailed with the one my worst of vacation

491
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: was even though we go there during the summer knowing

492
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: that it's going to be hot, knowing that a lot

493
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: of people don't go during that time because it.

494
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: Is so hot, a couple days where it was unbearable.

495
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: I would just say it was the heat more.

496
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: So getting in the car. Because you rented a black.

497
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Car, which I knew was gonna be kind of an issue.

498
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: But you wanted a Bronco but I did.

499
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: It was the funnest car in the lot that we

500
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: could pick from. I would have preferred a white one

501
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: like we had last year.

502
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was getting in the car.

503
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: There was one day where we got in the car

504
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: to go get like an assa ebol or something, and

505
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: it was just so hot we didn't speak. It was

506
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: like one of those where you're like, I'm going to

507
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: roll the window down and the fresh hot air feels

508
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: better than the stale hot air.

509
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, even though I knew we were going into

510
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: it to expect one hundred to one hundred and degree days,

511
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: it's still like once you say, you're like, oh man,

512
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: it's still really hot.

513
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: But I will say the pool is so nice. They're shade,

514
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: they have such great service. They're always walking around with

515
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 3: like fresh pictures of ice water, cold towels. Service there

516
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: is phenomenal. So that's why we keep going back.

517
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: And we could go back again every summer. It just

518
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: kind of feels to me like when I'd go to

519
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Mexico as a kid, where you get familiar with it,

520
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: and also just something about being in a desert is

521
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: of reminiscent of that.

522
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

523
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 3: We also one of the other reasons we go there

524
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: is that it is one of the more affordable places

525
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: to have a really nice room. Yeah, so we get

526
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: like a room and it has its own rooftop decks.

527
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: We have dinner out there. We sat out there and

528
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: looked at the stars one night. We had dinner there

529
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: most nights unless we were like at the restaurant on

530
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: the property. We watched a thunderstorm roll in one night,

531
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: which was really cool. You could just see the whole

532
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: desert lightning everywhere.

533
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love Arizona because it's so flat and you

534
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: can see for miles. So even just like looking out

535
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: at the stars at night was like, oh, this feels different.

536
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't get to see I feel like that

537
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: much of the sky and.

538
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: Then you trim me out. When we got back. You

539
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: were like, can you believe that's the same moon? And

540
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: I was like, don't do that to me right now.

541
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, that's the same moon that we

542
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: were stargazing.

543
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: At, but it doesn't look the same here.

544
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: It doesn't.

545
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: It's like, weird, weird anything else? Do you have a book?

546
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: I do have a book. I read a lot in June.

547
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 3: I've been doing this thing where I actually get up

548
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 3: on time in the mornings and read and have coffee

549
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: before I start my day.

550
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: And I hate to admit it's actually changed things.

551
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 3: Darn The Poppy Fields by Nikki Rlick, and she is

552
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: the author of The Measure, which I've talked about yes

553
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: numerous times on here. It's her new book. Phenomenal Measure

554
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: is still my favorite, but this one was a unique

555
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: take on grief and how people cope. And it's the

556
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 3: idea that these people go out to this place called

557
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: the Poppy Fields and they get put in kind of

558
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: like a medically induced sleep for a month, and when

559
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: they wake up, it's helped with their grief. Really good,

560
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: still great with The Measure is still my favorite by

561
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: a little bit, but I read this one on like

562
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: two days.

563
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: What do you read it?

564
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: I gave it. I only gave it a four.

565
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: Oh, that'd be a four and a half the way

566
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: you were talking about it. Yeah.

567
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: Four.

568
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of books, I did see the Jeanette McCurdy book

569
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: Who Was Sam and I Carly? Her memoir is getting

570
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: turned into a series with Jennifer Aniston. You read that book, right,

571
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: I did?

572
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 2: You started it?

573
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: I started it. I wanted to finish it. But now

574
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: that I see it's being turned into a series. Speaking

575
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: of earlier talking about books being turned into movies and

576
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Apple shows, yeah, and Apple, so it's also Apple. Do

577
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: you think that is going to be a good series.

578
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be dark, heavy.

579
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Because that's kind of what the takeaway from that book

580
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: was for you, right. It's disturbing all real.

581
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: Self though, Yeah, it was really hard to read just.

582
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Because of all the trauma she went through as a

583
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: kid in a relationship with her mom. Because from what

584
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: I read, I was like, this is intense.

585
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 3: What her mom put her through was really terrible and sad,

586
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: And so I think that will be a very dark

587
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: TV show with a lot of trigger content warnings, but

588
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 3: I think it could be well done.

589
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious to see how that story gets portrayed,

590
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: especially after all that went that came out with the

591
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon documentary about like quiet on the set and just

592
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: the dark sides of child actors, and the relationship was

593
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: not just well that was all about the relationship with

594
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: the creators and producers of that show, but really barely

595
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: touched on their relationship with their parents. So I think

596
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: this could be really interesting and really dark.

597
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: There's a lot of child actors that have opened up

598
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 3: about like hard relationships, like Dylan and Cole Sprouse have

599
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: talked about their relationship with their mom.

600
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: Well, you think about for us growing up, it's all

601
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: the childhood stars from like sitcoms, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon. But

602
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: now it's like all the influencer kids who are like

603
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: YouTube families and TikTok that it's like, oh man, this is.

604
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: I haven't watched more than one episode, but there's a

605
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: new Sewan Bravo called Next Gen NYC and it's like

606
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: a lot of the Like Housewives kids, and one of

607
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: them talks about how her mom stole all of her

608
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: like influencing money when she was a kid.

609
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: Dang, I mean I see you. Even now when I

610
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: upload stuff to YouTube, they're like, are there any kids

611
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: in this video? If so, you have to market.

612
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's sad.

613
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: I don't want to end on a sad note, but

614
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: this is kind of a bummer now.

615
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: I do think the show will be good. I think

616
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 3: Jennifer Anilsten will do it justice. Does she have an

617
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: Apple deal?

618
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: Do you think she has to?

619
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean between that and The Morning Show? Do you

620
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: care about the Morning Show coming back?

621
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: M h, I do.

622
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I kind of lost interested in after the last season.

623
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: Great, I'll watch it withoume.

624
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: I still want to watch it, But those first two

625
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: seasons were like, oh, this is so good, this is

626
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: next level television. And now it just kind of feels like, oh,

627
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: this is just another drama. It just reflects so much

628
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: of I guess the world that we live in now

629
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: that it's.

630
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: Just not escapism anymore.

631
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then it's also yeah, but.

632
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: It always has it was built on like the whole

633
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: mattlur thing. I should always reflected the world it's been.

634
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: It's like an alternate portrayal of that.

635
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: Then it's like a year to two years separated from it.

636
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: So like after we lived things from like two years ago.

637
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: Apple takes way too long. That's why we didn't get

638
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 3: into season two of separance. Don't come out, forget everything,

639
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: don't come at us. We couldn't same.

640
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: Thing with I watched The Old Guard on Netflix or

641
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: The Old Guard too, and I was like, I forgot

642
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: everything that happened in The Old Guard one.

643
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Apple does? I mean we're gonna have to go back.

644
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Euphoria on HBO.

645
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna have to watch every single season again,

646
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: which it's been two. Yeah, but I feels like a

647
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: lot more.

648
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

649
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go finish my Southern charm Binge. I'm almost

650
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: done with that. I've watched alten seasons this year.

651
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go open some figures I bought on vacation.

652
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: Some collectibles.

653
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: Some collectibles.

654
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: You would text me like, is this too much to spend?

655
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: I think I said at one point, I cannot repeat

656
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: this enough.

657
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: I don't care.

658
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: It's vacation.

659
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 2: That's why we set aside money for vacation.

660
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: You know, Hord, I'll put some stuff on TikTok.

661
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: You did go hard.

662
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you, though, but at one point you

663
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: were like, Oh, I can't believe I'm gonna spend this much,

664
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, I'm so proud of him

665
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: because I'm I'm the spender normally, so sometimes I need

666
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: you to spend so I feel less bad. So I

667
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: checked the bank account and I was like, that's all

668
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: the damage you did, and you did go get more

669
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: after but.

670
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: I just have to over justify it, and then I

671
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: feel bad and it feels dom and then I'm like,

672
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: I have too much stuff. It's a whole cycle I

673
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: go through.

674
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: I should feel more.

675
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: All Right, We'll come back and talk about Jurassic World rebirth,

676
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park rebirth, Why did it suck? Let's get into it.

677
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: A spoiler free movie review. I love Scarlett Johanson, I

678
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: love dinosaurs. I love Jurassic Park movies, even the ones

679
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: with Chris Pratt. Twenty fifteen Jurassic World, I was all

680
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: in Falling Kingdom. In twenty eighteen, I was still riding

681
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: with them. Jurassic World dominion. Okay, we need a little

682
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: bit of a reset. But you throw a Scarlet Joe

683
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: Hanson in it, you get a great director like Gareth Edwards,

684
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: who's also in movies like Rogue One Godzilla the Creator

685
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and I thought this was hopefully

686
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: the recipe we needed to break that cycle of a

687
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: movie that left a really bad taste in our mouth,

688
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: because what Dominion tried to do was recapture the energy

689
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: of the first one, bring back those nostalgic characters, and

690
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: bank on that. And what they failed to do was

691
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: bring us a really good story. And now they have

692
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: to retool the formula again and again to get us interested.

693
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: So what happens here is Scarlett Johanson takes this highly

694
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: skilled group. Their mission is to extract this genetic material,

695
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: essentially this blood from dinosaurs. They need to get three

696
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: different samples and take those samples in order to save

697
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: the world because that DNA from the dinosaurs can provide

698
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: us with some very life saving benefits to all living people.

699
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: And they have to go to this place that nobody

700
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: else goes. It's supposed to be where all the most

701
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: dangerous dinosaurs lived, the island that was the research facility

702
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: to the very first Jurassic part and what they dub

703
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: as being the most dangerous place on Earth, and it's

704
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: even illegal to go there. And I think with them

705
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: setting it up that way that we're about to go

706
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: to the most dangerous, crazy place, and the trailer teasing

707
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: us with all these dinosaurs not just on land but

708
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: also in sea. I thought we were going to be

709
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: in for some really crazy action, really crazy encounters, and overall,

710
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: when I go watch a Jurassic Park movie, I want

711
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: to see some ridiculous deaths. And what they set us

712
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: up for was maybe something that got my hopes a

713
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: little bit too high, because what we got was such

714
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: a watered down version of a Jurassic Park movie. And

715
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: whenever I first saw the trailer, I told you that

716
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: my biggest worry was all of the humor used in

717
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: that trailer, where it felt like Scarlet Johanson was speaking

718
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: in signs you would find in my mother in law's

719
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: kitchen and just made their characters seem very one dimensional

720
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: and almost cartoonish. That it was made more towards a

721
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: very younger audience, which is a sense actually what the

722
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: first Jurassic Part was for, and adults just happened to

723
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: like it. And now here we are people who grew

724
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: up with that movie in the nineties are now in

725
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: our thirties and forties and want to experience that again

726
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: and maybe we have to let go of the past

727
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. But after seeing that first trailer, I

728
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: thought the comedy here isn't right. The writing seems so bad.

729
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: It felt to me what is described now as superhero humor,

730
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: where I was just waiting at one point for Scarlett

731
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: Johanson to be standing there and saying, oh, no, the

732
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: dinosaurs right behind me, isn't it. That is just the

733
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: level of acting and direction and writing that we were

734
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: working with here that the movie never found its sea legs.

735
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: It was just kind of wobbling around the entire time.

736
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: Something that I thought I would enjoy more is in

737
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: this movie. It does open up with more of the

738
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: journey to the island. There was more of an emphasis

739
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: on aquatic dinosaurs, and I thought that would be a

740
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: little bit more interesting. But we went almost thirty minutes

741
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: with only having one and kind of a half encounters

742
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: with dinosaurs, And for a Jurassic World movie to have

743
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: so few dinosaurs in the opening thirty minutes, that felt

744
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: like a travesty within itself. And the movie even makes

745
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: it a plot point to say that humans have kind

746
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: of just grown tired of dinosaurs. They become so normal,

747
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: less of a spectacle. The museum where the scientist works

748
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: at just doesn't really get visitors anymore. They used to

749
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: have people lined up for days. You couldn't even get

750
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: into this place, and now they sell like twelve fifteen

751
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: tickets in two to three weeks. And maybe that's kind

752
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: of how Universal fell after the last movie kind of flopped, like, Oh,

753
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: we can't just really do the same thing anymore that

754
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: we've been doing for the last almost thirty years of

755
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: here's the t Rex. Here it is chasing people when

756
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: following that same formula, because that is not a spectacle

757
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: to us as moviegoers anymore. So they tried to revamp

758
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: that and it just didn't work. I will say though,

759
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: out of any Jurassic Park movie, it is the best looking,

760
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: and that is what entices me so much going into it.

761
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: The blues are so blue, like I wanted to jump

762
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: in and taste that water because it looks so fresh

763
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: and just so good on the big screen. The greens

764
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: of the forests were just so bright and vibrant that

765
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 1: really drew you into every single frame. The reds whenever

766
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: they had flares going off, or the very few instances

767
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: that there was blood were so rich, and there was

768
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: kind of that juxtaposition between the dark blues and the

769
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: greens and the reds. Everything just had a wonderful color

770
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: palette that they used to craft this movie. It was

771
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: also filmed on actual film, which movies now, especially on

772
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: this scale, are really getting away from because it is

773
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: so much more expensive. But it was shot on thirty

774
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: five millimeters Kodak film, which made the movie look fantastic.

775
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: It looked like old photos you would take back in

776
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: the nineties come to life, like whenever I would get

777
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: a disposable camera and take some pictures and you get

778
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: like those reds and oranges from lights. That is how

779
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: I felt watching this movie, and honestly, that is what

780
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: kept me from come to hating everything about it. Was

781
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: the fact that it looked so good and to know

782
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: that you can make a movie on this scale that

783
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: is so big summer blockbuster, that still has some artistic

784
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: value to it, and I think that is overall what

785
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: I enjoyed. It wasn't the design or the types of

786
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: dinosaurs that they used that really made me not enjoy it.

787
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: It was the fact that I felt we didn't have

788
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: enough dinosaurs. But what really just kind of drove me crazy.

789
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: Was the behavior of the dinosaurs that to me felt

790
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: so controlled, and because again we were set up saying

791
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: that these are the worst of the worst, the most vicious.

792
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Nobody should go here, it is illegal to go here.

793
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: I felt like I could take a stroll to this

794
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Jurassic World and have a pretty easy time because it

795
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: felt like there was nothing on the line. And again

796
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to give any spoilers or indicate who

797
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: does and who doesn't live, but it became very very clear.

798
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: I knew it from the very first moment that you're

799
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: introduced to every single character who is going to live

800
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: and who is not gonna make it. So it became

801
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: so predictable and more like they were just concerned about

802
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: who they keep around and who can move on if

803
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: this movie is successful to make the next movie, which

804
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: is something I just hate right now. That is the

805
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: ongoing trend where if a character has a reason to die,

806
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: I say, kill them, Just kill them, take them out.

807
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: If it is important to the story, if it's gonna

808
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: be memorable, if it's gonna be impactful, kill that character.

809
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't care about their contract. In the real world,

810
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't care about them wanting to go on to

811
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: a sequel if it makes sense for the movie, if

812
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna leave me with an emotional impact, kill that character.

813
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: Don't keep them around just because, oh, we need to

814
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: keep them alive to keep this franchise going. No, because

815
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: me as the viewer, I'm gonna check out. If I

816
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: ever feel like something is being left on the table

817
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: and it's not going to one hundred where this franchise

818
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: needs to go to one hundred, I'm checking out. And

819
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: that is what I felt held this movie back is

820
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: their unwillingness to commit to things make them dangerous dinosaurs

821
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: if you're gonna pitch this as a movie with the

822
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: most vicious dinosaurs, and they just didn't do that. There

823
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: was no sense of urgency. The movie was two hours long,

824
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: but it didn't even get remotely interesting into those last

825
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: thirty minutes where it was just too late. The dialogue

826
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: was so weak, and it felt like they weren't even

827
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: following the script, like they were freestyling. Yet and you

828
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: have really great actors here, Scarlett Johansson, Maherschelo Ali, like

829
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: all these people are fantastic actors. It just did not

830
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: make sense. How am I seeing these actors who were

831
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: so great, seem like they are delivering high school theater lines,

832
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: and the movie felt more like a commercial at time,

833
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: which the first Jurassic Park had that in there as well.

834
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: Any big summer blockbuster is gonna have product placement, but

835
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: the movie was trying to sell me candy, chips and beer.

836
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: And if the product placement is one of the things

837
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: that I remember most about the movie, I don't know

838
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: what that says about your movie. Maybe it a lot

839
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: of great things about your sponsors, but not so much

840
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: about how the movie made me feel. How I felt

841
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: it added to the franchise, because all I remember is

842
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: then munching on some name brand snacks. Overall, it was

843
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: too tropy, and the fact that it had excellent color grading,

844
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: which is something I love, just could not save this movie.

845
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson could not save this movie. I still love

846
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: all these actors, maybe feel a little bit differently about

847
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: the director. Now with Jurassic Park Rebirth, that makes seven

848
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park movies, and this is how I would rank them.

849
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: At the very bottom, at number seven, I would put

850
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park dominion. That movie just tainted the franchise. At

851
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: number six, I would put Jurassic Park three, which came

852
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: out in two thousand and one. It was the first

853
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: one not directed by Steven Spielberg back with him doing

854
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: the first and the second one, and just didn't really

855
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: have the same identity. At number five is where I

856
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: would put Jurassic Park Rebirth. They tried, they really tried,

857
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: but just didn't get it right. At number four, I

858
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: would put Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom, which I enjoyed seeing

859
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: that movie in theaters. Not one I really revisit now,

860
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: but overall pretty solid. They're just not that memorable. At

861
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: number two, I would put Jurassic World from twenty fifteen.

862
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt gets a lot of hate for his performance,

863
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: but I thought that movie made me love the franchise again.

864
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: At number two, I would put the original Jurassic Park,

865
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: which was fantastic. It was groundbreaking. You're never going to

866
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: recreate that moment whenever you first see the dinosaurs walking

867
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: and you have the score there, just a perfect movie moment,

868
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 1: and without that movie, we wouldn't have anything else here.

869
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Groundbreaking with the use of CGI and animatronics. They essentially

870
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: created all of that technology for that movie, so revolutionary,

871
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: but still I put it at number two because at

872
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: number one I have The Lost World. It had a

873
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: darker tone, it had more action, and to me, that

874
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: is the Jurassic Park movie of my childhood. So that

875
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: is how I would rank all the movies. And when

876
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: it comes to my rating for Jurassic Park Rebirth, it

877
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: is right there. It is so terribly mid that I

878
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: can't give it anything more than a two point five

879
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: out of five drops of dinosaur blood.

880
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike Trailer Paul.

881
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: Two things. I love Ryan Gosling and space movies. And

882
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: we got another one because he was Neil Armstrong back

883
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen in First Man, and now he's playing

884
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: a guy named Ryland Grace in a movie called Project

885
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: Hail Mary. It is based on a book and rarely

886
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: do I have to give a spoiler warning for the

887
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: trailer Park, but apparently there are a lot of plot

888
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: points in this trailer that would spoil the book. So

889
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: I want to say this at the beginning of the

890
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: trailer park. If you are planning to read this book

891
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: before watching the movie, and hopefully you haven't seen the

892
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: trailer yet, I'm gonna say spoiler warning because I'm going

893
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: to talk about this trailer in depth, and apparently, even

894
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: though I haven't read the book yet, it spoils a

895
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of what comes out in the book. And I

896
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: have also determined that this is going to be a

897
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: book that I'm going to read before watching the movie.

898
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: It's been a really long time since I've read a

899
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: book before watching a film. I think the last time

900
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: this happened was all the Hunger Games books, and that

901
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: was back in the twenty ten. So there was something

902
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: about this trailer that a light went off in my head, like,

903
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: why don't I just read the book because I miss

904
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: that experience. There is something special about reading something that

905
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: you just get enthralled and you live in this world

906
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: and you have it envisioned in your head, and then

907
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: you go see the movie and you're like, oh, that's

908
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: nothing how I pictured it. The book was so much better.

909
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: And I may be tainted already because I've already seen

910
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: the trailer and I'm going to start associating the character

911
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: of Ryland with Ryan Gosling, But either way, I'm still

912
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: going to read this book and then go watch the

913
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: movie when it comes out next year, which it's March

914
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. I have a lot of time to

915
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: forget about this trailer and to establish this new world

916
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: in my mind. But spoiler warning, I'm getting into all

917
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: the plot details in the trailer. So if you want

918
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: to go read the book first, maybe this park this

919
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: week isn't for you, Or if you're like I'll read

920
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: it anyway, or maybe I'll forget by then continue listening,

921
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: because this trailer does look amazing. The book is written

922
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: by Andy Weir, who was also the author behind The Martian,

923
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 1: which was also turned into an award winning film directed

924
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: by Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon called The Martian, which

925
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: is a fantastic movie. So do they have another hit

926
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: on their hands? We'll see. It is directed by Phil

927
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: Lord and Christopher Miller again. It is coming out next

928
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: year on March twentieth, twenty twenty six. Before I get

929
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: into more, here's just a little bit of the project. Hell,

930
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Mary Traylor, please say to your name me very. He

931
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: spoke up from a coma.

932
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: There's several light years from my apartment, and I'm not

933
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: an astronomer.

934
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm not an astronautic.

935
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 2: The sun is dying. You're the only scientists who might

936
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: know what this says. I'm just a teacher at gorover Cleveland.

937
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: Middle We have a doctor at a molecular biology I

938
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: need you to come with us.

939
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: This is project how Mary.

940
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: I put the Knot an astronaut. I've never done anything.

941
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: I've never done a space I can't even moon walk.

942
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: The three time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling plays a middle

943
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: school teacher who is sent to space as the world

944
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: is coming to an end. Ryland Grace is our only hope,

945
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: and he must see if humanity can survive somewhere else

946
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: in space. After they discover that the sun is failing,

947
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: all the stars are going out. They all seem to

948
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: have some kind of infection, and then in space he

949
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: discovers an extraterrestrial being that he names Rocky. I have

950
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: to assume that is one of the spoiler things because

951
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: that comes towards the end of the trailer, so it's

952
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: probably a bit of a surprise, like, oh, he found

953
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: life somewhere else, But like it says in the trailer,

954
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: he has no experience as an astronaut, and I think

955
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: that's where some of the novelty comes in. Has a

956
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: sense of mystery, because he is trying to discover what

957
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: exactly is killing the sun how can he save the

958
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: Earth in the process. It starts with him waking up

959
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: in this ship with this crazy hair and this crazy beard,

960
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: forgetting about who he was and what he was doing.

961
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: So it seems like the movie flashes backwards, flashes forwards,

962
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe flashes sideways into some other multiverse elements, maybe a

963
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: little bit of interstellar action here as his memory starts

964
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: to come back and he realizes and remembers exactly what

965
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: he is doing, can he stop the Earth from a

966
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: nice age? That is what we're going to figure out

967
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: in this movie. It is either going to be a

968
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: huge hit or it is going to bomb terribly. And

969
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: I hate that for Ryan Gosling because he is one

970
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: of the biggest movie stars right now, one of the

971
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: very few people who are a household name. Everybody has

972
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: known who Ryan Gosling is for probably twenty years at

973
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: this point, because he has a large body of work,

974
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: a lot of memorable movies that have both done well

975
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: at the box office and also been critically acclaimed, and

976
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: ever since The Fall Guy didn't quite live up to expectations,

977
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: I feel like he is in need of another big

978
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 1: hit to really put his career, not that he's off track,

979
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: but to really solidify him out there right now as saying, oh,

980
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 1: you can put Ryan Gosling in a movie and it's

981
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money and it's gonna be

982
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: something that is really impactful. I still think he needs

983
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: that because Barbie did become his highest grossing movie at

984
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: the box office, and I wouldn't even consider that a

985
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling movie. It is much more a Margot Robbie movie,

986
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: so still a really big part of it. So I'm

987
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: not downplaying his role in that movie and crediting his

988
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: performance to the success of that, but I think it

989
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: wasn't just him alone that made that movie a hit.

990
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: It was Margot Robbie, it was Greta Gerwick, it was

991
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: the entire supporting cast. In what segment of time did

992
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: that movie captured with Barbenheimer and all that went into that.

993
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: So that was truly a moment in pop culture history

994
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: that will live on forever, and I still think he

995
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: really needs to capitalize on that. And the only thing

996
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: that really has me concerned about this movie is the

997
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: touch of humor that it has that kind of caught

998
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: me off guard a little bit because I was expecting

999
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: more of a straight ahead space exploration drama, much like

1000
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: The Martian, and then you have these little glimpses of

1001
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: humor with Ryan Gosling delivering these quirky lines, and he

1002
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: does have great comedic timing. I just don't know how

1003
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: that is going to come across the audiences. And that

1004
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: is why I feel that this movie is either going

1005
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: to do really well and connect in all of those aspects,

1006
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: or some of the humor just really isn't going to

1007
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: land and it's gonna maybe deter the story from really

1008
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: having an emotional impact. So that is the only thing

1009
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: that has me worried. But with it being a really

1010
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: popular book, which by the way, came out back in

1011
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, you do have that built in audience

1012
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: that is going to go see it regardless, and hopefully

1013
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: those people who read the book go see it opening

1014
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: weekend and love it. Hopefully they love it. That is

1015
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: how that word of mouth spreads, and that is what

1016
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: could lead this movie to being a really big success.

1017
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean, look at this trailer dropping almost a year

1018
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: before this movie even comes out, and there are already

1019
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: people talking about it. And after I saw What Happened

1020
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: to Mickey seventeen earlier this year, I realized that sci

1021
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: fi movies are having a bit of a hard time

1022
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: out at the box office. So that is why I

1023
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: wonder how this movie is going to resonate. Is it

1024
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna feel too close to Mickey seventeen? To me, it

1025
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons

1026
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: Deep Space Homer where NASA is trying to spark a

1027
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: little public interest in space exploration because their ratings to

1028
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: their launches have dropped so low that they need to

1029
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: get people interested in space exploration again. So they go

1030
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: and do this program where they take a common person

1031
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: and turn them into an astronaut, much like we kind

1032
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: of saw with Jeff Bezos and all those celebrities going

1033
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: into space. I see that episode of The Simpsons in

1034
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: this movie trailer because it has that little element of humor.

1035
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: You have Ryan Goslin just being like, I don't belong here.

1036
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about space, I don't know anything

1037
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: about being an astronaut. So that's what that reminds me of.

1038
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be leaning into the

1039
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: comedy that hard, like they do in The Simpsons. But

1040
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: maybe this is the closest I get to having a

1041
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: lot action deep space Homer episode. But again, Project Hail

1042
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: Mary is coming out in theaters on March twentieth, twenty

1043
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: twenty six, and that.

1044
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: Was this week's edition of Movie Live tram.

1045
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: Or Bar and that is going to do it for

1046
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: another episode here of the podcast. But before I go,

1047
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: I got to give my listeners shout out of the week.

1048
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: This week, I'm going over to my Instagram dms and

1049
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: shouting out Keegan, who actually sent me a message saying that, hey,

1050
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: the Project Hail Mary Traylor has a lot of spoilers

1051
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: in it. She said that the book is actually her

1052
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: favorite book of all time, and she did ask if

1053
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: I or Kelsey have read it. Kelsey has not yet.

1054
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: Her book club I think is reading it right now,

1055
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: so she's about to start it. But she also didn't

1056
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: watch the trailer because she didn't want any of the spoilers.

1057
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: But whenever she reads that, I will have her do

1058
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: a review here. So this might be the first book

1059
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: turned into a movie that we both have read and

1060
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: will watch in theaters. And again, I've probably only read Uh,

1061
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm not proud of this one book in the last

1062
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: three years. I read the Mark Happis book earlier this year.

1063
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: I devoured that book. I do want to read more,

1064
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 1: so this will be the first time in a long

1065
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: time where I read the book before watching the movie.

1066
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: Because comic books don't count, they just don't. So thank

1067
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: you for that heads up, Keegan. Thank you all for

1068
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: listening again this week. Hope you have a great Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

1069
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: Whenever you are listening to this and until next time,

1070
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: go out and watch good movies and I will talk

1071
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: to you later.
