1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie mis Movie Podcast. My 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: name is movie Mike. I am on Twitter and Instagram 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: at Mike Destro That's Mike d e E S t 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: r O. If you want to follow me over there 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: and on this episode, what we're talking about is the 6 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: greatest road trip movies of all time. I'm not talking 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: about the actual movie road Trip, which will actually make 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: the list, but I'm just talking about movies where the 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: whole plot line of the movie is it's a character 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: trying to get to a different destination and pretty much 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: the entire movie takes place over the course of a trip. 12 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: It's summertime now, but we probably won't get to take 13 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: many trips this summer, so I feel like we can 14 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: all live through some good movies about trips that we 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: wish we were taking. So that's what pretty much the 16 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: whole basis of this episode is about. I asked a 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: bunch of you guys on Twitter what we're your favorite, 18 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: so I incorporated that into the list, and if you 19 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: don't follow me over there, that's the way you gotta 20 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: do it. You can get in on what the episode 21 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: is gonna be about. Each week. I'm also trying out 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: a new segment called Rotten Movie Reviews. Well, I will 23 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: intentionally watch a bad movie with a low Rotten Tomato 24 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: score rating and see if it is at really that bad. 25 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: And this week I am going with the king of 26 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: the lowest rated rud and Tomatoes movies, Adam Sandler, and 27 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about one that not only has a part one, 28 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: but it has a part two, and neither of them 29 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: has above a ten percent rating on Ride and Tomatoes. 30 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: So I thought that was a good place for this 31 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: segment to start. We'll find out if those movies were 32 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: actually that bad after I watched them. It's all part 33 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: of this experiment I'm trying out. And before we get 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: into that, just thanks to you for hitting download, hitting 35 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: play on this episode.

It takes like maybe ten seconds to do. 44 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: And it helps me kind of compete with some of 45 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: the other movie podcasts out there, because the higher up 46 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: I can get on the list the movie podcast, the 47 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: more people who will hit play when they see my 48 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: face on the thumbnail. And I mean, I need all 49 00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: the help I can get to be seen my picture 50 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: on there, Like I hit that five stars. I can 51 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: really use that anyway, without any further ado, let's get started. 52 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 53 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 54 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast, a man with so 55 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge. He's basically like a walking I MTV 56 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: with glasses from the Niceville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. Alright, 57 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: so today we're talking about the greatest road trip movies 58 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: of all time, and let me explain what that is. 59 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: So I recently watched the movie Little Miss Sunstine for 60 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: the very first time, and I thought it was a 61 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: really great movie. And I kind of had this idea 62 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: of like, oh, there's a whole category of just road 63 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: trip movies. And I got to think of just the 64 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: world we're living in today, We're probably not gonna get 65 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: to take a lot of road trips, a lot of 66 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: vacations this summer, and I wanted to think of, like, Okay, 67 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: what is the best movie I could watch to put 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: me in that situation and think like, Okay, I would 69 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: want to take that trip from a movie. So I 70 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: also asked you guys on Twitter what your favorite road 71 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: trip movies were. We'll get to some of those and 72 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: I'll give you some of mind. But first of all, 73 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: let's define what a road trip movie is. If that 74 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: sounds maybe a little weird to you, you don't really 75 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: get it. So a road trip movie I would categorize 76 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: is essentially, I'd say, of the movie has to be 77 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: about a physical trip being taken. So it's a character 78 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: or group of characters trying to get from point A 79 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: to point B, and the whole movie is about their journey. 80 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: Why I think this concept and plotline of a movie 81 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: is so interesting. I just like that idea of characters 82 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: having to get somewhere, and that idea of when they 83 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: finally get there, what obstacles are they going to overcome 84 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: or will they finally reach this point in their life 85 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: where something is complete? And I think a road trip 86 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: movie is so great because you can really tell and 87 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: like kind of expand on characters and get to know 88 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: people how they deal with a road trip. And there's 89 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: just something so fun to me about a road trip 90 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: movie because some of the greatest moments and memories of 91 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: my childhood were taking along road trips. So my parents 92 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: are from Mexico, and every single summer and around Christmas time, 93 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: we would take a trip from Texas to Mexico, which 94 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: is about an eighteen hour drive all the way around 95 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: without stops and everything. And I always just thought, like, 96 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: this feels like a movie sometimes, and some of the 97 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: stuff that happened along the road, it was always so 98 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: great memorable to me, Like crossing the border into Mexico 99 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: was always a crazy thing. Coming back to the United 100 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: States after and seeing like American signs and seeing the 101 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: first McDonald's. I remember that always being awesome, and I 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: would have loved to make a movie about that entire journey. 103 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: So I was thinking of movies like that that made 104 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: me feel a certain way, and I kind of got 105 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: that feeling when I saw a Little Miss Sunshine, So 106 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: I'll start with that one first. Now. The movie came 107 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: out back in the early two thousands, and I remember 108 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: thinking This movie was going to be a very like 109 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: indie and kind of stylized movie, and I knew Steve 110 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: Carell was in it, but I didn't really know kind 111 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: of how funny it was going to be in a 112 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: kind of a dark way, because it's kind of a 113 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: dark comedy. It starts out again, I won't ruin any 114 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: of these movies, but I do want to explain this 115 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: movie because maybe if you see this movie, you just 116 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: see the thumbnail and aren't exactly sure what it is. 117 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: But it's about Steve Carrell's character, who he plays a 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: gay man who just tried to commit suicide and he 119 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: has taken out of the hospital essential live with his family. 120 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: It gets to his family and there's this little girl 121 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: who was essentially gets a call that's saying there's a 122 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: big little miss Sunshine padget all the way in California, 123 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: and they have to drive from New Mexico to get there. 124 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: And that's the basis of the movie, which I felt 125 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: was kind of I didn't know that the title exactly 126 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: translated into what the movie was about. And all the 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: stuff that kind of happens along in this movie I 128 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: thought was great. This movie also just feels so came 129 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: out in two thousands six, and it has that really 130 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: like mid two thousands feel, which I kind of wonder 131 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: about when we look back on those early two thousands 132 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: and you getting movies made later along them, like, oh, 133 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: here's a movie about people that lived in the two thousands. 134 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: I think if you watch this movie, you kind of 135 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: get a little time capsule of what times were like then, 136 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: Like cell phones were becoming more prominent, but they still 137 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: like in their primitive stages, are being like bulky and weird, 138 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: and the fashion and all that kind of stuff. Like 139 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: I just think the early and mid two thousand's are 140 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: a very interesting time, and I'm kind of starting to 141 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: see this while going back and watching movies from that time, 142 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: of how we are defining that movie and defining that 143 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: part of our culture, which I think is an interesting 144 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: thing because now when you think about, you know, we 145 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: think about people dressing like in the eighties, you get 146 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: what that looks like. You get about what people will 147 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: dress like if they're doing something for the nineties, you 148 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: get that. And I still don't really have the two 149 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: thousands in my head, but if you go and watch 150 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: Little Miss Sunshine, you kind of get a feel for 151 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: what that's gonna be like whenever there's two thousand's party here, 152 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: and maybe I don't know in the next five or 153 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: tain years. But anyway, I thought this movie was great. 154 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: It has a bunch of laughs in it, It has 155 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: some unexpected, kind of off the wall moments within the story, 156 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: and then the it's pretty emotional. They're like learning Steve 157 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: carrell story in this movie, the other kids in the 158 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: family and the dad who's kind of a jerk throughout 159 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing. It really had that feeling that I 160 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: remember what it was like to take a road trip 161 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: with my family, Like you get into arguments, then everybody's 162 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: happy having fun, and then you get into a very 163 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: low point and then and this one even something tragic happens. 164 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: So I think it's cool want to check out, especially 165 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: if you're Steve Carrell fan, if you ever take a 166 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: road trip with your family, I think this will resonate 167 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: with you too. Now, the first one I mentioned on 168 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: my Twitter and I started the whole thread where you 169 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: guys replied to was Dumb and Dumber, which I feel 170 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: it is probably one of my favorite comedies of all time, 171 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: and I think it works so well because it is 172 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: essentially a road trip movie. It's Jim Carey and Jeff 173 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: Daniels and essentially they get this suitcase and they're trying 174 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: to get back to this owner, and the whole time, 175 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Jim Carrey in his head has this idea of that 176 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: he's going to return the suitcase tour this beautiful woman 177 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: and she's going to essentially fall in love with him. Now, 178 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: that's what I loved about this movie and the way 179 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: that it works with being a road trip movie, because 180 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: the whole time he's just plotting in his head all 181 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: these different scenarios of how it's gonna work out for him, 182 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the things they're gonna do, and then it ends up 183 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: turning completely the other way around. And I think with 184 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: this movie in particular, because there's so many funny stops 185 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: on the way, and there's so many kind of things 186 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: that happened, whether it's them getting pulled over and peeing 187 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: in beer bottles and then having to have the cop 188 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: drink it, or them stopping at a diner and getting 189 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: in these fights with this trucker guy. I think it 190 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: makes all these other little elements play out to where 191 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: it kind of feels like you're taking the road trip 192 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: with them, and therefore I think it's a very rewatchable 193 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: movie because you watched the movie again and it's almost 194 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: like reliving a fun trip that you took with some friends. 195 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: And as idiotic as they are and as as stupid 196 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: as this movie is, it's crazy that this movie works 197 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: so well together and essentially skyrocketed Jim Carrey into being 198 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: a comedy powerhouse and just somebody who we think is 199 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: just funny and every single thing we see him in 200 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: and I think this was probably one of his best roles. 201 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: And also of going back and learning about this movie 202 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: that a lot of the little scenes and stuff were 203 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: just improvising this, like everything from him walking out of 204 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: that hotel bar and pointing out the sign on the 205 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: on the wall, I mean like we landed on the moon, 206 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: or I think my favorite scene is probably when it's 207 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: just this really small thing when he goes into the 208 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: seven eleven walks out, he sees two guys who actually 209 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: weren't even working on the movie, and he's like, oh, 210 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: big gulps, huh, all right, see you later, Like that 211 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: was an unscripted thing. It seems like something so dumb 212 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: to mention to somebody being your favorite part of that movie. 213 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: But it's things like that that really stick out to 214 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: me in this and why I had to include it 215 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: on this list, Okay, And it really wouldn't be a 216 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: road trip movie list without including the movie A road Trip. 217 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: And I had to put it in right here because 218 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: I think this is one of the first movies I 219 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: watched as a kid, and it being a movie that 220 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: I realized I wasn't supposed to be watching. So it 221 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,359 Speaker 1: came out in the year two thousand. I was probably 222 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: nine years ten years old when I actually got to 223 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: see this movie. Shout out to a blockbuster VHS my 224 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: cousin renting it. And I find this movie so interesting 225 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: now is because this kind of movie was so popular 226 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: back in the day of the teen drama, which is 227 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: essentially a bunch of horny teenagers trying to get lucky. 228 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: Is essentially every movie made after American Pie came out 229 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: with such a big success that like, all right, we're 230 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: just gonna dominate this kind of genre of movie. And 231 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: if you look back in these kind of comedies from 232 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: this time period, that's pretty much what they're all about, 233 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: is these horny teenager dudes trying to get with some chicks, 234 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: but what's different about this movie? And they're like, Okay, 235 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: well let's take that same concept but make it across 236 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: Country Tree road trip. So what the whole movie is 237 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: about is the main character played by Rick and Meyer. 238 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: He accidentally films the tape hooking up with a different 239 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: chick and sends it to his girlfriend who lives in Austin, Texas. 240 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: So he travels from Ithaca all the way to Austin 241 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: and takes so much of his crazy friends with him. 242 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: And I kind of wonder how a movie like this 243 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: would hold up to today, because I was thinking about it, 244 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: and I really don't see nudity in movies anymore. Like 245 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I went to a 246 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: movie theater and saw a movie that just straight up 247 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: show nudity. It's very I feel like that's the early 248 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: two thousand things now, And I kind of wonder where 249 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: that change came from, because while you look at TV 250 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: has gotten so much grittier and darker, and you look 251 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: at a show like Game of Thrones and there's just 252 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: so much nudity in that. Now, maybe it's because just 253 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,479 Speaker 1: kind of a trend thing back in the day to 254 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: to market to younger people trying to watch a movie 255 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: and being like, oh, there's here comes the naughty part. 256 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: I think that was a little bit of it too, 257 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: and maybe it just kind of faded away. But even 258 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: in like major movies where there's usually some kind of 259 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: nudity or sex sy and I feel that's kind of 260 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: shifted away from, you know, the way directors and stuff 261 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: making movies now. And I think even seeing news stories now, 262 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: how they're gonna have to change how they make movies 263 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: and where maybe even some of the like c g 264 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: I kissing scenes will happen where you can't really have 265 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: two people going at it on a movie screen anymore. 266 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if we'll move away even further from that. 267 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: But it's just so rare to go back and watch 268 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: movies like Road Trip, like old school, like American Pie, 269 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: where it was just like, Okay, here's the scene where 270 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: this happens. Like it's just not a thing anymore. And 271 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's a good thing, because I think there's nothing 272 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: more awkward than watching a movie with nudity with your parents, 273 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: So probably for teenagers now it's maybe a good thing. 274 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: I remember back in the day we read it a 275 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: movie from Blockbuster I don't even think it was a blockbuster. 276 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it was just this random rental VHS place 277 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: inside of a grocery store in my hometown that we 278 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: would read movies from and we're just like, Okay, this 279 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: movie would be good, let's watch it. And there ends 280 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: up being just a straight on, full onto a nudity 281 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: scene in it, and I'm like, oh, grab, My mom 282 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: has never hit stop on the BCR so fast, so 283 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: maybe it was a good thing to get away from. 284 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: All right. So one of my favorite road trip movies 285 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: as a kid was a movie called Over the Top 286 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: starring Sylvester Stallone. Now if you don't remember this movie, 287 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: it's a classic from the eighties, and I think why 288 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: I lived it so much because my dad's a truck driver, 289 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: and we wanted a lot over him being a truck driver. 290 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes as a kid, I would go with him on 291 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: his trips. Now, he would only travel in Texas, so 292 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: it probably would wake up really early, be like three AM, 293 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: and then we'd be back home before five. But I've 294 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: never seen a truck driver, let alone a cool truck 295 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: driver in a movie, And when this movie came out, 296 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, something for me and my 297 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: dad bonded over could because my dad doesn't watch movies. 298 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: He watches zero movies on his own. He will only 299 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: watch something if it's randomly on TV and involves some 300 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,599 Speaker 1: kind of gunshot violence or something like that, and he 301 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: doesn't even watch any kind of TV. But I remember 302 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: him specifically being like, oh, this is the cool MOE 303 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: because it was semester salone driving around in a truck 304 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: with his son right there, shotgun and he goes and 305 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: competes in arm wrestling competitions, which is as cheesy as 306 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: maybe a plot line you can come up with a movie, 307 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: but it was Something's just so cool to finally see 308 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: my dad enjoy a movie from them, you know, arm 309 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: wrestling and him doing the thing where he turns his 310 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: hat around and goes right in for the slam. Oh, 311 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: such a great movie. And if you're like me of 312 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: never bonded with your dad over a movie, you gotta 313 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: find something with his interest. And if it happens to 314 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: be eighteen Wheelers, well check out over the Top. Now 315 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: let's get to the most favorite road trip movie from 316 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: you guys that was mentioned on Twitter, and it goes 317 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: to Tommy Boy. Now, when you think about David Spade 318 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: and Chris Farley as a duo, even though they were 319 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: in that many movies together, I just feel like Tommy Boy. 320 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: And then Black Sheep later cemented that idea of them 321 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: being just so good together, it's because Chris Farley is 322 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: just so out there and commits to every single one 323 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: of his roles, and then you have him paired with 324 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: a guy like David Spade. He's a little, small, kind 325 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: of squirreling guy. You just can't ask for a better 326 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: recipe for a comedy movie and put that into a 327 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: funny road trip and there's just so many things in 328 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: this one that just kind of make it work. And 329 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: probably the best scene in this movie has to be 330 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: when they stay at the hotel from David Spade knocking 331 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: on the door with the housekeeping and then of course 332 00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: the iconic that guy and lettle Go Richer, what's the hell? 333 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: Some other great ones do you guys mentioned were almost famous, 334 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: which I felt is a good one. National Lampoon is 335 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: the original Vacation where there's a bunch of variations of 336 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: that Pope's Big Adventure. I think you could even classify 337 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: hy Borat as a road trip movie into the Wild 338 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: was a really great one. You got planes, trains, automobiles. 339 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: And then another really great road trip movie is a 340 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: Goofy movie. Now I did a whole little kind of 341 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: highlight on this movie because I feel it's a very 342 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: underrated Disney movie. But the whole thing is a summer 343 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: vacation road trip with Goofy and his son Max, and 344 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good one to watch. I 345 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: think another really underrated one was We're the Miller's which 346 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: came out back in ten with Jason Dakas and Jennifer Anniston. 347 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: So it's Jason Sadakis character who's going to Mexico to 348 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: essentially bring these drugs back for this drug lord guy, 349 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: and he assembles this team of these other people and 350 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: they posed as a family. It's also Jennifer Aniston and 351 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: Emma Roberts, and I think it's a really funny movie, 352 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: one that probably got slam more than by critics than 353 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: it should have been. Like, I think everybody who I 354 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: know who've actually seen this movie thought it was actually 355 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: pretty good. I really enjoyed Jennifer Aniston in this kind 356 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: of comedy space. You can do more movies like this. 357 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: I think it'd be awesome. So anyway, those are some 358 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: of the greatest road trip movies of all time, at 359 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: least in my eyes. If there was one I miss hey, 360 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: just hit me up on Twitter, Instagram at Mike Destro 361 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: let me know. All right, So I want to start 362 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: a new segment this week. I don't know how well 363 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: or how long I can do this because I am 364 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: calling it rotten reviews, and I have a theory and 365 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: I want to do this experiment because I feel like 366 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: when you go into a movie and you know that 367 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: people have been saying that it's really a great movie 368 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of buzz around it, sometimes you 369 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: watch that movie with an expectation to be held to 370 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: that high review, and then you see you'll be like, we, well, 371 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: that wasn't that great, and you don't enjoy it as much. 372 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: But I think also the opposite happens. If you are 373 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: told this movie isn't that great, and you're like, well, 374 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it any way, and you go into 375 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: it thinking like, oh, this isn't gonna be great, your 376 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: expectation is lower and you might actually end up enjoying 377 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: it more. So. I want to watch movies that have 378 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: I'd say a ten percent or less rating on Rotten Tomatoes, 379 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: and I want to see if they were actually that 380 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: bad because I feel, you know, really highly snooty reviewers, 381 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: which I don't see myself as I go into movies 382 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: just wanting to enjoy it and if it brings me 383 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: any kind of joy or I would get something out 384 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: of the movie, I feel I can enjoy anything. I 385 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: have different scales for different kind of movies, especially when 386 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: it comes to comedy and horror, like you have to 387 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: look at everything differently. But I feel sometimes critics just 388 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: go into a movie already wanted to hate it for 389 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: either the director or the actors in it, or just 390 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: maybe it's a sequel in they're like, oh, this isn't 391 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: gonna be great, and I feel they've ripped a shred. 392 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes really good movies and even if you go on 393 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes, sometimes the critic score will be so low, 394 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: but it's like, well the audience score is you know 395 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: in the eighties or the nineties, there's something wrong there. 396 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do is watch movies that are 397 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: called rotten and see if they were actually that bad. 398 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: Maybe my opinion changes, because I know that critics have 399 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: already said it's bad, and maybe I'll find it a 400 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: little bit better. And I decided to start with Adam Sandler, 401 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: who probably has collectively the lowest rated movies from an 402 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: actor that he's you know, produced and started. I think 403 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: over all of his movies that came out in the 404 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 1: later part of his career, they have all been pretty 405 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: low rated. And I've seen a lot of these before 406 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: I even you know, started this segment. So what I 407 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: did is watched two movies collectively that had the lowest 408 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: scores that were actually sequel So I watched Growing Ups 409 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: one and two because I think his lowest rated movie 410 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: that he started with the Ridiculous Six, which came out 411 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: on Netflix, and I remember watching that and actually thinking 412 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: it was okay. Now, well, I I think that Adam 413 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: Sandler gets such bad ratings when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes, 414 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: and I think it started it kind of gets to 415 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: him too, because he even put out a comedy special 416 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: that was called Fresh because he wanted to give himself 417 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: a good title that he knew that he would never 418 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: get from critics. And I think I don't think he's 419 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: really changed the way he's done movies, Like if you 420 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: look back on Billy Madison and have By Gilmore. His 421 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: early movies were really just as ridiculous as the ones 422 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: now I think maybe he's just kept doing the same 423 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: thing year after year and movie after movie, that maybe 424 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: we've grown up a little bit more and his movies 425 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: still stay true. I just think he has a whole 426 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: different kind of comedy style, and he's not essentially making 427 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: movies for critics or even making movies that are going 428 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: to be smash box office hits. I think his movies 429 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: almost worked in a different way to where he's paying 430 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: and making movies for TV, and they get money through 431 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: syndication and being shown back a lot. So I decided 432 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: to watch Grown Ups one and two because collectively they 433 00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: have a combined total of Growing Up one has ten 434 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: percent and Grown Ups two has seven percent. So let's 435 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: start first with Grown Ups one. Now, I watched this 436 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: movie thinking, Okay, this is gonna be pretty bad, and 437 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually a decent movie. Now, 438 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: this one actually has a plotline, which a lot of 439 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: these crazy Adam Sandler movies don't really have one. So 440 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: it's all these group of guys who played together on 441 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: a basketball team as kids, they come back and reunite 442 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: and after the passing of their coach, so they all 443 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: made this funeral and then they just start hanging out 444 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: and decided to go on a weekend trip to an 445 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: old cabin in their hometown. And I think that part 446 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: of it is kind of fun, Like you just kind 447 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: of turn your brain off and taking the idea of 448 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: all these kids randomly meeting after being friends way back 449 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: in the day and now they're all hanging out together 450 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: and remembering stuff from their childhood. That part of it 451 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: is kind of fun. You also have a pretty incredible 452 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: cast of character. So what I think also Adam Sandler 453 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of does now is he just hires all of 454 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: his friends. If you watch his movies, it's pretty much 455 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: the same cast of characters switched out here and there. 456 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: Even like his straight up legit real life friends are 457 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: all in these movies that are really in no other 458 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: movies than Adam Sandler movies. But this is one. You've 459 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: got Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and 460 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: Rob Schneider. Now what I kind of picked out Adam 461 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: Sandler movies now is they're basically live action cartoons. They're 462 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: almost like taking the Three Stooges from back in the 463 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: day and applying them to a movie now because all 464 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: the crazy stuff that happens in this one, it's basically 465 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: like watching a cartoon. It's watching like a mix of, 466 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: like I said, the Three Stooges and Looney Tunes put 467 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: together into these grown men doing these ridiculous things, and 468 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: it is pretty dumb. But I felt like this one 469 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: I actually got some laughs at. Now you're looking at 470 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: a ten percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and I don't 471 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: see why it gets such a low rating. Like I 472 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: get it that it's not maybe uh up to part 473 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: of like a You at Apatl comedy, or not even 474 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: up to part of like a water Boy or a 475 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: Billy Madison. But I think there's still just something charming 476 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: about these movies. I feel they're almost like family type 477 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: movies in a way that Adam Sandler's kind of put 478 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: itself into with still kind of being appealing to his 479 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: a little other fans who watched his movies back in 480 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: the day. I think it's a weird kind of space 481 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: to operate in, and when you have these critics kind 482 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: of going out of these Adam Sandler movies and going 483 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: right into finding all the things that are bad about them. Yes, 484 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: the acting isn't great. Yes, the storytelling maybe not completely existed. 485 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: It probably has the plotline of maybe a twenty minute 486 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: TV show told over a movie. But I just feel 487 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: it's so ridiculous and so kind of out there and 488 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: trying to be dumb and obscure and obscene that I 489 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: feel it actually works. And it's kind of weird seeing 490 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: somebody like Chris Rock, who's just such a great stand 491 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: up comedian and probably one of the best of all time, 492 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: work his way into movies and almost not being as funny, 493 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: because in this one he's just kind of delivering like 494 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: these quick little jabs in these lines, and it's weird 495 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: how that kind of doesn't translate. Sometimes. I think he's 496 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: probably the hardest for me to watch in this because 497 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: I know how funny he is, but in this one 498 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: he's a little more cheesy. But overall, I don't think 499 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: it deserves a ten percent. If I were to rate 500 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: grown Ups too, I would probably give it a sixties 501 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: sixty five percent rating. I would even give it like 502 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: a two point five out of five, which I still 503 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: feel is pretty good for having such a low critique rating, 504 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's right around where the audience score actually is 505 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: for this one, So I feel it kind of holds up. 506 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: So you're looking at about a fifty percent difference about 507 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: what critics said about it and what actually people liked 508 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: about this movie. So did the Desert to win awards? Now? 509 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: Did it Is to win Razzi Awards? I don't even 510 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: think this one was his worst movie, So I actually say, 511 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: if you're looking for something so ridiculous to watch and 512 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: just turn your brain off to you and just like 513 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: to sit back and maybe have snack and watch a movie, 514 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: I think this is kind of a great movie for that. 515 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: And I love movies that exists for that reason. They 516 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: don't have to be these super high browed movies that 517 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: get you thinking about something, or even the commune doesn't 518 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: have to be super refined. I think just having something 519 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: slapstick and funny has an appeal of its own, and 520 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I think that's what grown Ups one does. So doesn't 521 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: hold up to that ten percent. I think it's way 522 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: higher than that. I'd say it's possible it deserves the 523 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: possible grade, and maybe this experiment works of going into 524 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: it so low and actually enjoying the movie. But next 525 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into Grown Ups Too, where I'm not 526 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: sure I'm gonna say the same thing about that. So 527 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: take a quick break and do that. All right, Now, 528 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about Grown Ups Too, continuing this Rotten review segment. 529 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: So this one has a seven percent rating on Rotten 530 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: Tomatoes and at audience score. Now I said, like I 531 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: did about Grown Ups One, I actually ended up enjoying it, 532 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: thought it was a pretty good movie for what it was. 533 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that complete opposite for Grown Ups Too, 534 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: because while I felt Grown Ups One actually had a 535 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: plot line they were actually trying for this have some 536 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: kind of a story in that movie. This one it's 537 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: pretty much all over the place and goes from scene 538 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: to scene, and it actually feels like they're making it 539 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: up as they go. I felt, and Grown Ups Too, 540 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: it was them just going from scene to scene and 541 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: basically like, all right, let's start filming off, what do 542 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: you want to do? Well, how about you do this? Okay, cool, 543 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: we'll go with that, and they were just filming as 544 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: they go, Like it was hard for me to believe 545 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: that there were actually three writers on this movie. Because 546 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: it was just so dumb and so bad because the 547 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: grown ups won. The whole thing was they were getting 548 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: back together to honor and go pay their final respects 549 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: to their old basketball coach, and this one it's pretty 550 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: much just everybody back together again and nothing really happens 551 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: throughout the entire movie. I'd say where this movie really 552 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: lost me is it was just so cringe worthy, Like 553 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: the jokes just weren't there, and there were just stuff 554 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: they were doing that was just so dumb and like, 555 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: why is is still happening? Like this isn't even remotely funny, 556 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: But somehow they were able to make a movie that 557 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: wasn't really funny and even just cringe worthy at moments. 558 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: I was never actually bored watching the movie, which was 559 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: the strange thing because while it is all over the 560 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: place and really makes no sense, they are able to 561 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: throw in all these kind of random things, kind of 562 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: like the head in the first one. It's just like, Okay, 563 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: this is basically watching the live action cartoon again. But 564 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: I think with the celebrity cameo after cameo after cameo, 565 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: like there's so many people in this movie, like Shack 566 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: is in it. Uh, the lonely Island guys are in 567 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: this stone Cold Steve Boston has a freaking appearance in 568 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: this movie, and I think they're able to keep it 569 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: interesting by just throwing all these random things at you. 570 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: I was never actually bored watching that, even though I 571 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: was just cringing and be like, ohly grad, this is 572 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: still going on. So kudos to them for making that happen. 573 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: So going into it knowing that it had such a 574 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: low rating didn't really help this one. So I still 575 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, it deserves a pretty little rating. I 576 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: would maybe give it a little bit higher, Like I 577 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: would probably give it the grown ups one rating of 578 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: like a ten a point five out of five stars. 579 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: They really just kind of phone this one in. There's 580 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: even just a bunch of jokes in this that I 581 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: feel like don't really hold up anymore. And I feel 582 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: like if you probably watched kind of making some another 583 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: movie like this. The best thing I can say about 584 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler is that he keeps all of his good 585 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: friends around and offers them jobs in the big Hollywood 586 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: movies and keeps them employed. So shout out to Adams 587 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Handler for being a good guy. But grown ups to 588 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: believe the rating on this one. All right, that's episode 589 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: for this week. Before I hop out of here, I 590 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: gotta get my Instagram shout out, which I do every 591 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: single week.

And that means a lot 605 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: to me that you listen to the episode so much 606 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: you put it in your main feed, So I gotta 607 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: give you a shout out for that. Hope you guys 608 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: enjoyed this episode, And I did get a couple of 609 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: questions on my Instagram story of that website I recommended 610 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: to find movies that are streaming either free or the 611 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: cheapest to rent. And it's called just watch dot Com. Now, 612 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: they don't pay me to say this. I have no 613 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: affiliation with his website. I just use it all the 614 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: time because you put in any single movie that you 615 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: want to see and it pulls up everything from where 616 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: you can stream it for free, like if it's on Netflix, 617 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: if it's on Hulu or Amazon, or if it's not 618 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: on any of those, it will show you all the 619 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: places you can rent it from and you can see 620 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: the cheapest one. So I used that a lot, especially 621 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: when I know that a movie isn't on Netflix and 622 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find either somewhere else I can watch 623 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: it because a lot of these older movies, they don't 624 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: really have a home on some of these streaming services. 625 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: So if you're wondering where to watch an old movie 626 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: like and Be pulp Fiction and it's not on Netflix, 627 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: you just punch it in this website and it tells 628 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: you where you can stream it or the cheapest place 629 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: to run it. So that's just watch dot Com again. 630 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: I'll pay it is it is. I just use it 631 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: all the time, and it's very helpful, especially been watching 632 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: some of these older movies that I've been watching. Alright, guys, 633 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: help you have a good week. Thanks again for listening 634 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: to the podcast. I will talk to you guys next Monday, 635 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: and until then later
