1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I am a

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Destro. I

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: am joined this week by my fiance Kelsey. Welcome to

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: the podcast. Thank you. This week we will be talking

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: about a list actors for some reason you can't stand

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: to watching movies. Was pretty surprised about the response I

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: got on Twitter when I put this question out. So

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the top ten actors that people mentioned.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: Also gonna get into an interview with the directors and

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: writer of Just Friends, which I feel is an underrated

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: Christmas movie, and then we'll give a joint review of Tenant,

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: which is now available on digital and DVD and all

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So we finally got to watch

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: that movie. We'll give our opinions on that. You ready

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: for this episode, I'm ready. Let's get started. In a

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. A man with so much

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking i MDV with

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: us from the Nationale Podcast Network. All right, so what

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is go through all the responses that

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: we got for an actor you can't stand to watch

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: in a movie. Now, I didn't want this segment to

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: be overly negative of like just bashing certain actors for

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: a certain reason. But when it comes to movies, it's

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: an entertainment thing. So I feel like you can have

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: an opinion on who you want to watch, who you

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: like to watch because it's entertainment. I don't feel like

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: we're attacking anybody's character or telling anybody that these are

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: like awful people in any way. I just think when

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: you consume a movie, there's some reason that you just

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: can't stand somebody. You can't watch them, it's not enjoyable

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: to watch them. So I put that question out on

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Twitter of just somebody you can't stand to watching a movie,

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: and was surprised that there's like two responses of this

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: tweet a lot of responses. So what I did is

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: I went through and found the top ten that had

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: the most votes, put them all together in a list. Kelsey,

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: You're going to read the list starting with number one,

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: and then we'll kind of go through and I'll give

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: my opinions on why I think they made the list

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and if I agree with him so start to get

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: off with number one, which is I believe was the

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: actor that I kind of started it all with. And

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: who's that Number one? Tom Cruise? Now Tom Cruise. For

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: some reason, I've never enjoyed his movies like I like,

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: maybe to Tom Cruise movies, and it's because they're just

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: great movies. But there's something about him, and I think

49
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: it's more of like what I know about him as

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: a person and how he treats people, how he is

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: is on sets that I just can't get into his movies.

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I know he's a very intense person. He's like when

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: it comes to movie starts, probably one of the biggest

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: ones of our lifetime. But there's just something about him

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: and seeing his face on screen that I just can't

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: stomach sometimes. How do you feel about Tom Cruise? He's

57
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: not my favorite. I wouldn't say that I can't stand him,

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: But do I actively seek out his movies? Not really,

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: but his movies also I don't feel like are tailored

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: or targeted towards me, like not a fan of like

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible? What else has he been? Like? Early movies

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: is what I'm into, Like ray Man, great movie, Top Gun,

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: I like it. I was excited to see the new one,

64
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: just because again how passionate he is about doing movies.

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: But he doesn't get a little annoying sometimes when I

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: feel like he wants to make it known that he does,

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: like all these crazy steps to go doing his own

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: stunts and stuff like that. So there's just something about

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: him that I'm never excited to watch a movie unless

70
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: it's like a super big movie, I probably won't see.

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: I feel like when he jumped on the couch on Oprah,

72
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: that was kind of the downhill. That was the end

73
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, yeah, I mean he had great movies

74
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: early in his career. I felt like maybe around two

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: thousand and five was where I was like, Okay, I'm

76
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: just I can't watch him anymore. So I put that

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: one out at the very beginning of list, and I

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: agree with it. So again, I just don't like hum Cruise,

79
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: who came in at number two. This one surprised me.

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell, Yeah, that surprised me too, and I think

81
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I know why. I think people find him not as

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: funny anymore. So the crazy thing about Will Farrell is

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't really a leading man until like two thousand

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: and three when Elf came out like he hadn't done

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: a major successful movie where he was the main person.

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: And I feel like he had a run from like

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: two thousand three, maybe like oh eight with step Brothers,

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: of where like his five years of just like dominating

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: movies where you put out his funniest stuff, and I

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: feel like since then, he's done movies that aren't that great.

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: So I think people kind of hold that against him.

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: I think he's not funny anymore. We just watched fun

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, Daddy's Home too, Like again, that's a

94
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: ridiculous movie, and it's Will Farrell being very Will Ferrell.

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: I think you said he's kind of almost channeling his

96
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: inner buddy of the elf in that movie. I felt

97
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: like he was. But you watched that movie and it's

98
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: still funny. Like I get it. It's not maybe anchor

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: man funny, but there's a quality to him that I

100
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: think is still fair. So that that one surprised me too.

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that one, do you. I don't

102
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: all right? Who came in the number three? Angelina Julie

103
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Again A little bit surprised about this one, And I

104
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: think it's also a little geared towards like her personality

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: and her character maybe more so like what she does

106
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: off screen, her relationship with Brad Pitt. I think people

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: carry that over into her as an actress in her

108
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: in her movies. But Angelina Jolie, I I mean I

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: like her, I like her movies. She hasn't really been

110
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: in anything recently that she's kind of you know, that

111
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: was a good one. She's done that, but I feel

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: like she's kind of stepped away from being that top

113
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: level actress that she was because I mean, at a

114
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: certain point she was like the number one actress and

115
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: I feel like she's kind of taking a step back

116
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: from that. But yeah, I don't agree with that, would

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: either who came in to number four Nicolas Cage, And

118
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I understand this one. Nicolas Cage. He's a weird guy

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: and his movies I would say or hit or miss,

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: and I think some people would just think he's not

121
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: a great actor, so they probably wouldn't want to watch

122
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: him in anything. And he does a lot of bad movies,

123
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: but he also does some movies that are just so

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: very Nicolas Cage that I enjoy a good Nicolas Cage movie.

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: But again I think it's also he's just such a

126
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: weird person that you could find maybe just his face

127
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: annoying sometimes. What do you think about him? I would agree, Um,

128
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the last good Nicolas Cage movie I

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: saw was that one with um tay Leone The Family

130
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: Man back in two thousand two. I think that was

131
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: probably the last thing Nicholas Cage movie that I enjoyed. Yeah,

132
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean I think he's all right. I could see

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: him being on this list. I'm not against it, but

134
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: I would say I'm a Nicolas Cage give him a

135
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: chance type person. I will. I won't if he's in

136
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: something I'm not all in. He's not one of those actors.

137
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: But if the premise is interesting, it looks like it

138
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: would be a good movie, I'll give him a shot.

139
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: So I can see why you made a list of

140
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: who's the number five? Clint Eastwood. Yeah, I all these

141
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: votes and I was like, I don't get it, Like

142
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: what about him is unappealing? I guess maybe that he's

143
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: older now, it seems kind of like a crankier guy.

144
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Maybe his last few movies haven't done as well. I

145
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: don't think that that. Yeah, I just don't get it.

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: I love Clint Eastwood well, he has gone more into

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: directing now and putting out movies where you know, it's

148
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: stuff he's passionate about. So I don't really agree with this,

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: but I think he's still a great actor, still doing

150
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: it at his age. Um. But maybe it's kind of

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: that personality he has behind him now that he's kind

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: of the cranky old guy and people don't really like

153
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: him anymore. So I think that's probably why he made

154
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: the list. But with surprise of the votes that came

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: in for Clint Eastwood, who made at number six, this

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: one really surprised me. Julia Roberts, Okay, I get this one,

157
00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: and she's Yeah, there's something about Julia Roberts that I

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: find like she's not super authentic, and I kind of

159
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: feel like I can feel it on screen when she

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: just feels like such a big movie star that her

161
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: performances aren't really as warm as they used to be.

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Do you ever get that feeling from her? I don't.

163
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: I love Julia Roberts. Aaron Brockovich is one of my

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: favorite movies. Again, I feel like earlier in her career,

165
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: really great movies, but I feel like since then, there's

166
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: just nothing that I was like, man, I want to

167
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: watch the Julia Roberts movie. It's just something about her.

168
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, at one point she was America's sweetheart, the

169
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Boyerson like everybody loved, and I feel that's kind of

170
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: diminished over time. So I kind of get that one.

171
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with the almost on the Tom Cruise level.

172
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm not being able to watch did Julia Roberts movie? Yeah? Interesting.

173
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of what she's done. It's like

174
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: her last really big almost what Eat Pray Love her

175
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: biggest one probably recently, yeah, which was a while ago.

176
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of on the same level with her.

177
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like something about her

178
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: off screen to just kind of gets me to not

179
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: want to watch her movies. So I agree with that one.

180
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: Coming in at number eight seven. This one I can

181
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: kind of see Ben Affleck, Yeah, I get it. He

182
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: came from putting out really bad movies. He really made

183
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: people mad when he did Batman Versus Superman and became Batman. Yeah,

184
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: but I kind of feel like Argo and his recently,

185
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: even in the way back, like he has kind of

186
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: I don't care mentality is what I like about Ben Affleck.

187
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: And even when that movie came out this year. I

188
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: was excited to see it because I like that he's

189
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: kind of so disgruntled and just so kind of like

190
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: I am who I am. He like smokes on set.

191
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: He just seems like a regular dude and a person

192
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: that I would actually, hey, maybe hang out with off screen,

193
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: Like he seems like like he would be a nice guy.

194
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not the most perfect human in world. He's

195
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: had some troubles. He's been to rehab, he went through

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: a divorce. He's dating. They're not engaged, are they. I

197
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: think they're just dating, And I don't know. I feel

198
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: like he gets criticized a lot of like they're not

199
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: being much to him. But I feel like he does

200
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: what he does relatively well and I enjoy him, so

201
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I like him. I think I think the Batman versus

202
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Superman is where it when a little. Yeah, I felt

203
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: like that was too big of a role to take on.

204
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like he wasn't set up to be

205
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: a good Batman, Like nothing about that movie was entirely

206
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: his fault. There was a lot of things wrong with

207
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: that movie. Aside from his performances. Batman being a little

208
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: bit unbelievable as Batman. I yes, maybe, but there was

209
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: a lot more things wrong with that. I think he

210
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: got a little bit more criticism than he deserved on

211
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: that one, coming in at number eight. This one, I

212
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: can see, and this actor has taken some heat this year.

213
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt. Okay, I didn't even consider this until this year.

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, when that whole thing came out this year

215
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: of like the worst Chris's, he was number one. And

216
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about Chris Pratt is he kind of

217
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: came from, you know, being the funny, big lovable guy

218
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: in Parks and rec and then out of nowhere he

219
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: gets ripped up and does Drastic World and now he's

220
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: an avenger. I guess in some people's eyes, maybe he

221
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: feels a little bit forced on everybody and he feels

222
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: like he kind of came out of nowhere and now

223
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: he's like a big action star to nowhere. But I

224
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: don't find anything like dislikable about him. He seems like

225
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: a genuine guy. I follow him on Instagram. I mean,

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: I don't see why he made this list either, And

227
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't see why people were hating on him so much.

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Any idea why I feel like it was there was

229
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: like political stuff I feel like was the reason that

230
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: people didn't like him. Okay, so it's a little bit

231
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: more of I think it was like personal more so

232
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: than actor. I could see, Yeah, I could see that.

233
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: I feel aside from that, there's nothing I have against

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: them like I do some of the other people on

235
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: this list, So I don't get where it's coming from.

236
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: I still like Chris Brad who came in a number nine.

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Kristen Stewart another one I get, But I have kind

238
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: of over the years found myself to be a Christen

239
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Stewart fan. I get that she maybe doesn't seem like

240
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: the most pleasant, but again, kind of like that Ben

241
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Affleck mentality, like she has that I don't care what

242
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you think about me kind of persona. And I also

243
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: think maybe and I saw some of the comments about

244
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: her saying that she kind of plays the exact same

245
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: character in every movie, like Verry Kristen Stewart, and if

246
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: you don't like her from that, you're not gonna like

247
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: the rest of her movies. So I think that's kind

248
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: of where she fell onto this list. Would you agree?

249
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: I would, And I kind of think, what's your take

250
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: on this? I feel like it's actors, like we should

251
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: be judging them by their movie roles and not necessarily

252
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: whether we like them. I don't feel like they need

253
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: to make us like them as a personal level, Like

254
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: that's not their job. Just need to put out good movies.

255
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like also they probably don't put out

256
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: everything about their lives because they already in the spotlight.

257
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: So what we see isn't the full picture of who

258
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: they are. That could be kind of the like persona

259
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: of just like putting walls up. That's my thoughts And

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: the other thing kind of going on that what you

261
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: said is that just because they play maybe not so

262
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: likable characters in their movies, you can't hold them against

263
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: hold that against them in their personal life and what

264
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: you think about them, because I think something like like

265
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker, she has kind of what some would

266
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: say are annoying roles where she plays annoying people in

267
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: her movies, So I think people hold that against her

268
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: of like, oh, she must not be a pleasant person,

269
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: she must be annoying like that, So you can't hold

270
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: their characters against them, And I think that's kind of

271
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: what Kristin Stewart has to So yeah, unnecessary. And who

272
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: came in at number ten. Rounding out the list is

273
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: the Atflex BFF Matt Damon. Matt Damon another one can't today.

274
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: I don't know like there's and even with Matt Damon,

275
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: I can name one movie where I was like, that

276
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: was a great movie that I enjoyed him. And I've

277
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: never liked any Matt Damon movie from the Martian anything

278
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: that he's done. And I just kind of find him.

279
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, like there's nothing about him appealing that

280
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: that would maybe want to watch him, And if he's

281
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: in a movie, I'm like, I'm I'm not interested. I

282
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: think the only thing that I thought he was okay

283
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: and was Ford b Ferrari. Yeah, like he had a

284
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: not a pretty significant part in that movie, and I

285
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: was like the only time I watched him that I

286
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, he's all right. What about like good

287
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Will Hunting did not take you long to answer? No,

288
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: there's something about Matt Damon that I feel like he's

289
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, very vanilla. There's nothing significant about him.

290
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: There's nothing super great, another kind of actor I feel

291
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: is a little bit forced on everybody. I feel like

292
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: he's not as big anymore either, Like I feel like

293
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these are kind of like just like

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: fallen from the spotlight, Like they're not who I would

295
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: consider to be the most list anymore. At one point

296
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: super a list. I feel like he I would still

297
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: consider him a list because kind of the whole criteria

298
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: for this list is an actor who could carry a

299
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: movie like they're gonna be number one slot on the movie,

300
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: like this is their movie starring Matt Damon. I think

301
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of the criteria for this list. I think

302
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: he's still there even though he's kind of not as

303
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe popular and as profitable at the box office as

304
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: he once was. But again, this list was not meant

305
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: to be like slandering anybody or you know, not a

306
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: negative thing. I don't think that's what this podcast is

307
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: at all. But I just think it's an interesting thing

308
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: of just why there are certain actors we can enjoy.

309
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Is there anybody you would add to the list? Well,

310
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the like honorable mentions, Okay, um some

311
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: more that's surprised me and Jennifer Lawrence, Yeah, Matthew McConaughey ones,

312
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I can kind of see Anne Hathaway, Yeah, I could

313
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: see that one Amy Adams a little bit, but Meryl

314
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Streep really, you know, I really It wasn't until recently

315
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: that I had seen a Meryl Street movie and I

316
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: kind of agree with that one. Yeah, I don't know.

317
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: I think for me is the fact that she's been

318
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: around so long, but whenever Oscar season rolls around, she

319
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: just dominates, and it's kind of annoying that we're no

320
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: other reason is why I think I don't like Meryl Street. Okay,

321
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: but then that feels like a personal attack on Meryl

322
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. I get it, she's still great that

323
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: she wined Melody Awards, and there's other actors that I

324
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: want to win over her, and she just cleans house.

325
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: So I feel like she has that kind of like

326
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: being so good for so long fatigue on her. It's

327
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: probably why I don't enjoy her. Well, that has been

328
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: our second on a list actors you don't enjoy. If

329
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: there's any you feel should have made the list, just

330
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: tweet me at Mike Destro. Coming up next, we'll get

331
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: into my interview with the right ter and director of

332
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: the movie Just Friends, starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris,

333
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: and we'll talk all about that movie. Next, all right,

334
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the movie now Just Friends,

335
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: which is celebrating it's fifteen year anniversary and it's available

336
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: now on digital. In my eyes, I would say a

337
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: highly underrated Christmas romantic comedy and also a really great

338
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: Christmas movie for people like me who maybe don't necessarily

339
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: love Christmas movies. And I have the director now, Roger Humble,

340
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and writer Adam Davis on the phone. How's it going, guys?

341
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: How can nothing with that intorduct? Well, I'm dexcited to

342
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: talk to you guys, first of all, because I feel

343
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: like you guys made my life story in this movie,

344
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: because I was also an overweight guy in high school

345
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: and in college, and I recently lost a hundred pounds

346
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: and I kind of feel like this was speaking to

347
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: me when I first saw this movie. So I kind

348
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: of want to start at the beginning of where in

349
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: the process of making this movie did you guys, Well,

350
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: this is this is Adam's text, Davis. Uh So, you know, look,

351
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: I didn't have the overweight thing losing weight, you know,

352
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: I didn't have that angle of it happened in real life.

353
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: But I did have a two year Just Friends relationships

354
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: where I thought I was going to eventually win her

355
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: over and she would dump her boyfriend and and dad me,

356
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. And I remember, you know, a

357
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: couple of years later, I'm sitting down to write a

358
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: screenplay and you know, I'm trying to think of an

359
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: idea that, you know, christ be relatable. And I write,

360
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: you know, the first draft of Just Friends, and I

361
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: sent it to my manager and he says, uh, is

362
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: this about me and my you know, my relationship with

363
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: this girl other girl? And I was like, no, why

364
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: would I read about you? But I was like, okay,

365
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: and that's good. And then he flipped it over to

366
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: somebody at New Line Cinema and they were like, there's

367
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: list about me. And it was like, oh my god,

368
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: Like I think we have struck that that relatable goals,

369
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: uh that you know, most people can can you know,

370
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: can relate to that. Uh. So that's how was the

371
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: genesis of of the scriptin them, you know, all over

372
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: the course of you know, many years, uh you know,

373
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: we went back and forth like it should it be

374
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's not that good looking going after a

375
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: girl that's out of his league? Shouldn't be a guy

376
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: who starts out you know, uh, overweight and schlubby and

377
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: then loses the weight, but then reverse you know. So

378
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: you know a lot of that depended on the casting

379
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: as well. But uh, at the core of you know,

380
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: just making a movie about just friends relationships. You know,

381
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: that was based unfortunately on something I have the joy

382
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: of experiencing. And was it written as a Christmas movie

383
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. It became Christmas pretty early on,

384
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Like we needed a reason for them to come back,

385
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: for him to be back in his hometown, and you know,

386
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: the idea of Christmas. I kind of hit upon the

387
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: idea of like, you know, Christmas is at the time

388
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: of caere and the time of joy and everybody's happy.

389
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: So let's let's put our main character through total health

390
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: during this you know, the happy time of the year. Uh.

391
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: And then of the building blocks, it's like I live

392
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and you know inactor hys brook when they

393
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: have houses that are checked out in you know, million

394
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: dollar Christmas displays and stuff, so like, you know, we're

395
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: put that in there, and then you know we're going

396
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: to destroy that. Uh. You know, Christmas became threaded through

397
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: once once we made that decision let's said at Christmas.

398
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: Um many people. You know, the movie doesn't have to

399
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: be at Christmas, but it just felt like, you know,

400
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: uh a good, a good thematic choice. In her house

401
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: is the brightest place on earth, and here's our guy.

402
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: It couldn't be in the doctor place. So it's like,

403
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: uh the psychotomy, which was nice. So after you're writing

404
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: or starting to work on the movie, when is it

405
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of pitched or kind of known that Ryan Reynolds

406
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy? Uh? Well, uh, probably

407
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: after Roger came on. When did I I don't remember anything,

408
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: um uh, but uh I think, um, yeah, no, when

409
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: I came on, and then and then we we test

410
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: and I got together and we kind of you know,

411
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: collaborate a little and then he was really I don't

412
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: remember going to anyone else. Um. And one of the

413
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: great things about this movie was we had Chris Fender

414
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: and Jake Weiner were the producers, and Richard Brenner and

415
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: Toby Emrick were at the studio. We're all kind of

416
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: the same age. We were like a lot of times,

417
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you make a movie at

418
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: the studio, they're like they're the actors that get a

419
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: green lit and none of them are funny. Uh, And

420
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: they were like, we knew that Ryan Reynolds was like

421
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna pop, you know, like the guy was

422
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of brilliant. Besides Van Wilder hadn't had like a

423
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: big hit, and they were like, you know, we'll make

424
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: the movie for this much, and you need to go

425
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: mega with Ryan's and then we were like done, So

426
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: we got him on board and then, um, you know,

427
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: it was amazing from then on because I mean, the

428
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: guys are genius, so it makes it easy. And I

429
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: was rewatching the movie last night and I kind of

430
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: forgot just how great a chemistry all the actors it

431
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: had in it, Um, not just Ryan Reynolds, but Amy

432
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: Smart and Unaffaris. How much of what we see in

433
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: the movie was actually written in the script? And was

434
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: there anything that just kind of came improv while you

435
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: were filming most I will say most of it. Text

436
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: wrote like what I read, text wrote, you know, all

437
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: the characters everything. And then you know, because it's a commoning,

438
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: you kind of want to have that you know, openness.

439
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: We we really took a best idea of wins and

440
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: that was not only with the writing but with the directing,

441
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: text and I got along like gangbusters. So when when

442
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: we had the actors, we were we were literally we're

443
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: up in Saskatchewan. There was negative forty. They couldn't land plane.

444
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm not getting um, so no one came to visit us. Um.

445
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: So we were far we were quarantined before exactly exactly,

446
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and we would get together and we just kind of

447
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: like read the script and just kind of like work

448
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: be workshop the scenes, you know. I mean there were

449
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: textas scenes, but you know, we just tried to kind

450
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: of top it. And that's what what made that I

451
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: think what makes the film fanned out was is that

452
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of the process, that kind of experience you neither

453
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: text and I will press about about the creative aspect,

454
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: and we were just like we just wanted to make

455
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: the funniest movie possible. The beauty of also having like

456
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: amazing actors like Ryan and Amy and Anna and Chris Marquette,

457
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Chris Klein, Jilly Haggerty, like Stephen Route that these people

458
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: are are some of the best tadloomers in the world.

459
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: So you know, shoot as we take and then let

460
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: them have one and they're gonna come up to schoold.

461
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: So I feel like I built the house and then

462
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: everybody else helps, you know, put the furniture and texted

463
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: things too kind I'm going to put what what makes

464
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: it great is having a writer on set who is

465
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: a great collaborator, who's laughing at the monitor if somebody

466
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: has another idea and it's not like, that's not what

467
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: I wrote. That kind of brings me to my next question.

468
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: When you're making a comedy like this and you guys

469
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: are both on set, how do you reassure yourself that

470
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: something is still funny when you're doing it? You know,

471
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: take after take do you like start to question yourself like, man,

472
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: are we actually making something funny here? Uh? You's stressy um?

473
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: You you hope for the best text, and I I

474
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: would look, you always kind of a dude confidence as

475
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: a director because they're giving you so much money, so um,

476
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: but I would take text aside and I go, is

477
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: this funny? Um? You know? Like we would rely on

478
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: each other just so like kind of because we understood

479
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: the music a comedy, it was important to us so

480
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: but there were tons where we were really kind of

481
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: like again, like we would do things that we would

482
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: never put like she eat the thing at toothpaste and

483
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: has like a bandages wrapped around her head this blueberries,

484
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you would get development notes from a

485
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: studio about saying this doesn't trap and this makes no sense,

486
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's just like, I don't know why it's funny.

487
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: It probably won't be on the written page is funny,

488
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: but text and I think it's funny. It was almost

489
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: kind of like it wasn't so much as improv is

490
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: like we all we had like a hidden in script

491
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: in our heads or we would talk about as well.

492
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: That that also Ryan and the actors were on board with.

493
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, that could have gone off the rails bad,

494
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, because we were really trying to do certain things.

495
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: We were doing farce. There's a choreography to it and

496
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: it was a million pieces. But we also had a

497
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: I gotta get props Jeff Freeman with our editor, you know,

498
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: so that that was very helpful. And in that aspect.

499
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of that toothpaste scene, whose idea was it to

500
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: use real toothpaste? I know, I think it was like

501
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: a budget thing that had. I I was like, lebody

502
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: go out my just a crap. And she also actually

503
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: drinking like energy drinks to get into character. My guests

504
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: would be yes, I don't remember, but you know, drink it.

505
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah she u You know, she was fearless and like

506
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: we never knew like, oh, she's going to finally balk

507
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: at something, and she never did. And what was so great?

508
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: She had such a zest for life Amantha. But she

509
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: also had no filter, no awareness of people. She's a monster.

510
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: She thought she was adorable. I love like, you know,

511
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: she thinks when she pretends she's a kid, it's secutest

512
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: thing ever, you know, And she was always saying, wow,

513
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: that world. So fifteen years after this movie, what do

514
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: you hope somebody who goes back and watches it now

515
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: takes away from the movie pas on Earth? No? Um,

516
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, it's such a universal movie

517
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, I think it hits the core for

518
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: me of like the courturd high school kids who got

519
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: I got put in the friend zone. That's what I've

520
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: connected to me about Texas script. And we just made

521
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: a ball to the wall, funny movie with heart. And

522
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I think that's why it wasn't like we we were

523
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: smart enough to know, like we're just not going to

524
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: just make laugh and have nothing underneath it nothing, you know,

525
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: no emotional core. Uh, those movies don't really laugh but

526
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: hitting that some of those ideas to text about it,

527
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's just universal and it's timeless. People

528
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: get put in the friend zone, doesn't matter if you're

529
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand five or Yeah. I think that's why

530
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: it resondated so much with me, because even after I

531
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: did lose the weight, I still couldn't get out of

532
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: the friend zone. Like I still had trouble getting girls

533
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: after that. But it was always always respected Chris right,

534
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: Like like if one couple, it's like friends who watch

535
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the movie and then like the guy can admit or

536
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: the girl could admit, like look that movie, that's that's

537
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: how I feel about you, and and it turned into

538
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: an actual relationship. Like that was always that would be

539
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: the holy grail. And I know of a couple that

540
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: did become a couple because of the movie, and they

541
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: knew a friend of mine and he connected me with them,

542
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: and you know, they were like thank you for right,

543
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: like we are a couple now because of the movie,

544
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: And like to me, that was like, oh my god,

545
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: I've just done something great. A true success story. Yeah,

546
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: it could really happen to you. Well, there we go.

547
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time. Guys. Just Friends fifteen years out, now

548
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: available now on digital. Everybody go check it out and

549
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: laugh again. And thanks guys for talking. Thank you. All right,

550
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: let's get into a movie review now, talking about Tennant,

551
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: which is now available on Blu Ray and on demand.

552
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: And I'll say before you would get into this, the

553
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: only way to watch it is that's it. You can

554
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: buy the Blue ray, which is twenty plus bucks, and

555
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: we can rent it for twenty bucks on Amazon. And

556
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: this is a movie I wanted to see in theaters

557
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: and were surprised it actually came out in theaters, but

558
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to the movie theater, so it came

559
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: out and I saw the reviews. It was very mixed

560
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: from people saying it was great, for people saying it

561
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: was confusing, for people saying it was too long, for

562
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: people saying that Christopher Nolan should have waited to put

563
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: this out later. So the interesting about this one is

564
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: we have the ability to view this movie in a

565
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: different way because we got to watch it at home,

566
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: and I think that kind of gave it a bit

567
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: of a different experience because with Christopher Nolan. If you

568
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: don't know, he's the guy who wrote and directed a

569
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: bunch of other movies like Dunkirk, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar.

570
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: So he's known for making very big movies, sometimes confusing.

571
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of this thing and people were saying this

572
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: is his most confusing film yet. And the ability to

573
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: have the option to watch it at home. You can rewind,

574
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: you can pause, you can do all those kinds of

575
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: things too. Sometimes if you miss a part in the

576
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: movie theater you can't rewind. You can turn on subtitles.

577
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: You can turn which we did, which was recommended to us,

578
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: to say, hey, maybe watch the movie with subtitles. I

579
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: think it did help because I would say this movie

580
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: is a little bit confusing, and I feel we have

581
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: different reviews because you kind of watch it and we're

582
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: confused and we're a little bit defeated by it. Right

583
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: was I zoned out pretty early on because it just

584
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: got too confusing. So I'm watching this movie and I

585
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: feel like a little bit in the beginning, I had

586
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: to want to enjoy the movie, and it was set

587
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: up to where, first of all, the intro was great.

588
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: It's a big kind of a Christoper Nolan always does.

589
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: It's a big opening scene, starts off with the bang.

590
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: What is what I kind of loved about the Dark

591
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: Knight movies. All those movies had a really big intro,

592
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: So I had that and I was like, all right,

593
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: we're in. This is already intense. But from there it

594
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: just gets kind of confusing why certain things are happening.

595
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: And I get the overall plot of the movie. I

596
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: don't think that was confusing at all. It's basically a

597
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: secret agent joins an organization called Tenant, and he's trying

598
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: to save the world. He's trying to stop World War three,

599
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: and what he discovers is this kind of technology to

600
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: where things happen in reverse. So like he goes to

601
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: like the shooting range and there's bullets like already in

602
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: this target, and they show him the technology of like

603
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: how the bullet comes back into the gun. So the

604
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: whole movie, and again, I don't think you can really

605
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: spoil this movie. It's almost so out there with the

606
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: plot and there's not really anything you can reveal that

607
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: would ruin the movie experience for you because you almost

608
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: just have to watch it to understand it. Even if

609
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: you watch it even if you watch it. And I've

610
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: said this before and here, I'm not always the type

611
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: that wants to watch a movie to have to pay

612
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: attention and keep up with what's going on. It's not

613
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: usually why I watch a movie, and this was one

614
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: of those that you have to just like completely pay attention.

615
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: You have, Yeah, you have to pay attention. You have

616
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: to watch each scene, and even as closely as you watch,

617
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to know exactly what is happening and why.

618
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: But what does kind of go down is they're trying

619
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: to save the world, and then they have this reverse technology,

620
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: so it's kind of them going through all the action

621
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: forwards and then they kind of in the middle start

622
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: going backwards to all the things that already happened. And

623
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: then he's just trying to stop this evil Russian guy.

624
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: So I think the plot line alone, that's pretty much

625
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: it then trying to say the world. But where it

626
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of gets confusing is with all the time travel

627
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: stuff and when they try to explain it in the

628
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: movie and what's exactly going on with that, which time

629
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: travel is a tough thing to portray in a movie

630
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: because it doesn't exist to our knowledge. And again on

631
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: this podcast, I'd say the most hate I'm not hate,

632
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: but criticism I get is when I took go on

633
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: my time travel and rules kind of rants, which I love.

634
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: I love type Trammel type travel. I love time travel

635
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: and I love it in movies, But even for me,

636
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: this one was like what exactly is happening? So I

637
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: felt like people got confused trying to understand that so

638
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: much that they were unable to enjoy the movie and

639
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: found it confusing. But other than that, visually it looked amazing.

640
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: It felt like a big movie. It felt like I

641
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: was watching something that I know it was good, even

642
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: though I didn't understand it the entire way through and

643
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: I had to go kind of figure out at the

644
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: end what exactly happened. I felt like I was watching

645
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: something of quality. So now my favorite Critsimper Nolan movie.

646
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: I think since we have The Blue right now, I'd

647
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: probably rewatched parts of it to kind of get a

648
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: better idea of what was happening. And I wonder what

649
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: the experience would have been like if we saw this

650
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: in theaters. I would have been even more confused, or

651
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: maybe I would have paid attention better. I think our

652
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: flaw was that we ordered dinner while watching this movie,

653
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: and then our food got here, and I was just

654
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: game over for the movie and I was just into

655
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: my food. And again, that's kind of the thing of

656
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: watching things at home. You have the at home distractions

657
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: that you don't have in a movie theater. I probably

658
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: would have enjoyed this movie a little bit more in

659
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: a movie theater because I would have been solely focused

660
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: on the screen, and I was still pretty I was

661
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: tuned in the whole time. But again, just having that

662
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: slight second you turned away to check your phone while

663
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: the movies on, maybe that takes a little bit away

664
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: from the movie experience. But I thought it was okay.

665
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: Getting to the rating here, what would you rate it,

666
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: I honestly don't feel like I can give it a rating.

667
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: Don't give it a rating. I don't think I watched

668
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing like I don't. I don't even think

669
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: I made it to the end. I think I got

670
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: up and left the room. Did you enjoy it at all?

671
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it till I got confused, which was about

672
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes in. I could tell it was great, Like

673
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: you said, I could tell it was a good movie.

674
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: It was a big production. Again, it had like the

675
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: dramatic opening scene, it just got too confusing too quick.

676
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: I would give this movie two point five out of

677
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: five reverse bullets. I think it's the good thing about

678
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: it being out now, and if you can, if you

679
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: have the blue ray you have you're just streaming it,

680
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: you can go back and rewatch it. I think it's

681
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: one you have to sit down with and be like,

682
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gotta watch this movie and take it

683
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: for what you want. So I think it's a good movie,

684
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: but it's nothing I would recommend or telling him do

685
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: you have to see this now? As I think we're

686
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm at on it, and I do feel like I

687
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: enjoyed it a little bit more because of I've been

688
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: waiting to watch this movie visually. It had everything I

689
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: was looking for with the actors that had everything I

690
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: was looking for, Denzel Washington's son, Robert Pattinson, and it

691
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: just looked cool. Like Christopher Nolan's movies just have a

692
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: feel to them, whether it's like dun Kirk it. Even

693
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: just watching the trailer, I didn't know what it was

694
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: gonna be about, but I knew I wanted to watch

695
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: that movie. So he has that kind of appealed to

696
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: him that I was gonna watch it no matter what. Afterwards.

697
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it made me have a desire

698
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: to go watch more of his movies or even like

699
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: want to see any kind of extras to this movie.

700
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: I just thought it was good for what it was.

701
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe not something you rushed to watch. Definitely,

702
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: I'd say maybe. Wait. I think it will eventually come

703
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: to HBO Max to where you can stream it there,

704
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: but um, nothing you have to go see right now.

705
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend spending twenty on it. That's yea twenty

706
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: bucks is that's that's a high price for it. Maybe

707
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: you get it in your stocking and then you wanted them.

708
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's our review on Tenant. We're gonna get

709
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: into some movie news now, and I think one of

710
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: the biggest things that happened last week was the Tom

711
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: Cruise rant on set. Did you hear about this? So

712
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: what happened last week was he basically went off on

713
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: some crew members who won't weren't following COVID protocols on set.

714
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: And when I heard this again, I thought Tom Cruise

715
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: was being a little bit extra and the news story

716
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I saw just kem out recently was Leah REMONI said

717
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: that she thinks the whole thing was staged. That she

718
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: thinks that it's all kind of like Tom Cruise trying

719
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: to be like basically the ambassador for like movies, being

720
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: like he's doing such great work to do to keep

721
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: movies going and to do all these things. That she

722
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: thought the whole thing was staged. If you haven't heard it,

723
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: here's a clip of Tom Cruise flipping out on set.

724
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: You see. If you want to get and that's it,

725
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: you a politics you could find fort So, Yeah, she

726
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: put out a statement in like this big long essay

727
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: and said, basically it was a psychotic rant and he

728
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: is an abusive dictator. Hearing that now, I just felt

729
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: like he had so many like like parts and like

730
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: little lines. It felt like it was something that he

731
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: was new going to be leaked out later, or something

732
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: he like prepared in his head. And don't forget, he's

733
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: an actor. Like if anybody could pull this off of

734
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: it being staged, it would be him. Do you think

735
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: there's anything behind that? I don't know. If I think

736
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: it was completely staged, I don't know. He just went

737
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: on and on, and there's a lot of the whole

738
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: things like three minutes. So that was just kind of

739
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: reminded me of, um, was it Christian Bale? Oh? Yes,

740
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: came out on the set of Terminator. Kind of feels

741
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: like that reminiscent of that of like a rant leaked.

742
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: But I also feel like if you're that famous, you know,

743
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: like if you go off on someone, it's probably going

744
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 1: to be leaked. Yeah, and you're around cameras, you're around

745
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: people with cell phones, probably gonna be leaked. And brings

746
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: me to my next point. My favorite thing ever is

747
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: when Christian Bale freaked out. So, any excuse I get

748
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: to play this clip, I'm gonna play. It can set

749
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: you prick, Sorry, don't just be sorry. Think for one second.

750
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: What don't you get about it? Oh? Good for you?

751
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: And how was it? I hope it was good because

752
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: it's useless now, isn't it? Shake? Man? You're amateur? And

753
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: that's the quote that I just repeat every now and

754
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh, good for you. I love any

755
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: chance I get to play that clip makes me cringe. Yeah,

756
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad because that was just the guy who

757
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: walked in front of a sad it and he went

758
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: off on that was not stage. He came out later

759
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: and apologize, but anyway, that's what's going on there. Also

760
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: in movie he was Justin Timberlake is coming out in

761
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: a movie on Apple Plus TV called Palmer and I

762
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: watched the trailer earlier today. What do you think of

763
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: when you think of Justin Timberlake. Do you see him

764
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: more as an actor now or a musician? I don't

765
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: think my brain defaults to the other. I feel like

766
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: I would still think musician. I kind of see him

767
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: more as an actor now. I know he doesn't do

768
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: a whole lot of movies, but when he is in

769
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: a movie, I feel it's something significant that people are

770
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: going to pay attention to. I was never a fan

771
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: when it came to the boy bands. I was more

772
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: of a Backstreet fan, as was I And when it

773
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: came to a solo stuff, there was nothing I music

774
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: wasn't for me. Oh, I loved his solo stuff Smia

775
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: River Jam. I think the only Justin Timberlake song I

776
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: liked was Suit and Tie and Mirrors. I think those

777
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: two are later. Yeah, I'm talking like his first debut

778
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: that was that was where it was that I was

779
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: a later. If I was ever a fan of his music,

780
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: it was like in that era, but now I just

781
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of see him more as an actor. And I

782
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: watched this trailer and it made me a little bit

783
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: emotional because it's from It's basically a story about he

784
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: goes to prison, gets out, and goes back to his

785
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: hometown and he's start taking care of this kid whose

786
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: mom is basically going through some trouble. He was going

787
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: to get put back into I guess, like the foster

788
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: care system, but instead he goes and takes care of

789
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: him and the kid. Obviously he's had a crazy life,

790
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: but he is getting made fun of for doing more

791
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: like feminine things. So it's kind of a story of

792
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: justin Timberlake looking after this kid and allowing him to

793
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: be different. But here's a little bit of the trailer.

794
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: Listen to my son kids, especially when they see something

795
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: that they used to seeing nothing. But you've got no

796
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: right looking after any child. There's things in this world

797
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: you can be and there's things that you can't. How

798
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: many boys do you see on that show? What does

799
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: that tell you? First? And that line kind of got me.

800
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: They're watching TV and it's like a like at the

801
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the clip, he's like playing with dolls, and

802
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: then it's a show where it's all like female cartoons,

803
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: and then he says that it just kind of got

804
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: me a little bit. So I think that could be

805
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good movie. It looks very dramatic, and it

806
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: comes out on January twenty nine, so I think one

807
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: I would be interested to see. I'll watch it sounds good.

808
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: It sounds from the like the audio. Yeah I know.

809
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: And then finally, in movie news, this Friday, wonder Woman

810
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: comes out on HBO Max and it is certified fresh

811
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: right now, it is sitting at on Rotten Tomatoes, which

812
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: is pretty high. And we now have HBO Max and

813
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: they're kind of all in for what's coming in the

814
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: next year. But just no, that's coming out on Friday.

815
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: If you're looking for something brand new to watch. I

816
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: think we're both pretty excited to see it. Can we

817
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: rewatch the first one? I feel like we should watch them.

818
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: We rewatch the first one and then get ready for

819
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: this one. You're a Christen Week fan, right, I am

820
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: so excited that she's in this movie. I am excited.

821
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: We will give our review coming up, not next week,

822
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: but the week after that, because I usually do the

823
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: top movies of the year at the very end, but

824
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: with this one coming out so close at the end

825
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: of the year, I wanted to give it a minute

826
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: to kind of set in because usually when it comes

827
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: to superhero movies, I love them instantly and in that

828
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: moment they're like my favorite movie. So I feel like

829
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: if I did that episode right after that, I would

830
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: break it a lot higher. I wanted to give it

831
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break and kind of has

832
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: time to breathe and review that one, so that will

833
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: come up in the top movies of next week. Looking

834
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,000

Speaker 1: all right, take away my books and then you bust down?

858
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: Would have been or like even watching the movies because

859
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't grounded from TV. It was literally just my

860
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: Harry Potter book taken away? Where are you laughing? Every

861
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: right now? I'm just imagining you. I was so sad.

862
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: I bought that book like midnight, I went to more
