Speaker 1: recording this, I am all done with my Christmas shopping.

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: I was going to place for you. The fact that

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: you were like an elf this morning.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Once we went to go see es Utopia too, I

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: was full Christmas mode.

9
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: The deals were good, guys, are pretty good. This year.

10
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: You didn't even have to go into stores anymore. Like

11
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: this year it was like, really, you didn't have to

12
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: go to stores?

13
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, all of yours has been online. Yeah, that's

14
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: why I put out a snack basket for a delivery drivers.

15
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: It's loaded up with so many packages.

16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 2: With what it's Honestly, I gotta say. I told my

17
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: younger brothers what's in it, and they were like, it's

18
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: better than like a hotel snack bar. So let's see.

19
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: We have Celsius because that's like always one of the

20
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: first to go water. I do some cold brew, I

21
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: do diet coke, and then as far as snacks, we

22
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: have Oreos, which are real crowd Please. I'm already on

23
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: my second box those goldfish I found that Pringles were

24
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: a hit. Found some like individual packages of Muddy Buddies

25
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: at Target, which.

26
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Is like the Muddy Buddies.

27
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: It's like the checks mix with peanut butter and chocolate.

28
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: I thought you said nutty Buddies earlier.

29
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: No, Muddy Buddies, got it. My Amazon guys really been

30
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: like those. I think he took all my bags, which

31
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: was great. I have the sciences take whatever you want.

32
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, a great thing. If you can put together

33
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: a little basket, help out your delivery drivers, if you

34
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: get a bunch of stuff during the holidays. I like

35
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: seeing them.

36
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, camera, foot, camera, It's

37
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: so funny. They get so excited. They're like, ooh, But.

38
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: We are here to talk about our best and worst

39
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: movies of November. A pretty stacked month, a lot of

40
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: good stuff. In November. We were like, man, there's so

41
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: many movies to go see in theaters right now.

42
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't know how we saw this many movies. And

43
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: also we went out of town two weekends in November.

44
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how we did it.

45
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: How did we accomplish all of this.

46
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: In the movie review, I'll be talking about Zootopia two

47
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: and in the trailer park we'll be talking about the

48
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: new Hunger Games movie, where I think some of the

49
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: old people are going to come back. But thank you

50
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: for being here, thank you for being subscribed. Shout out

51
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk

52
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: movies from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike

53
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Movie podas Kelsey kick Us. Was the best thing you

54
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: saw in November?

55
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Wicked for Good.

56
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: When I reviewed that, I got a lot of hate

57
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: saying that that I gave it a raw deal in

58
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: my review, But I still gave it a four out

59
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: of five. I just had high expectations going into it

60
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: because one was so good.

61
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say it was my favorite of

62
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: the month, but I still like it didn't meet all

63
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: my expectations, but it was still best when I saw

64
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: this month. But that's like based on the whole thing.

65
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: It's like costume, set design, songs, acting. But yeah, I

66
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 2: think Part one is just a stronger part. Even on

67
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: the Broadway show, I liked Part one the best.

68
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: Your favorite song from Wicked for Good?

69
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a toss up between No Good Deed and

70
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: for Good? I love No Good Deed.

71
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: Do you think it kind of messed us up seeing

72
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: it on Broadway before we saw the second part of

73
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: the movie.

74
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it did for me.

75
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: I think it kind of messed me. I think it

76
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: set my expectations higher.

77
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: I could have gone without you, no high life, you behind.

78
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: I just think I would have been more surprised, more

79
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: entertained by Wicked for Good if I didn't know what

80
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: was going to happen, which I initially didn't want to know,

81
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: but I couldn't really pass up the opportunity of us

82
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: being in New York City and going to see it

83
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: on Broadway.

84
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: But they changed stuff. They did added plot lines to

85
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: the movie to make it more like because I mean,

86
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: the musical is two and a half hours. Each movie

87
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: was two and a half hours, so they added stuff

88
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: to like beef up the storyline. I will say the

89
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: like new original songs didn't do as much for me.

90
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: The Ariana song, Yeah.

91
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: But again, like I think that's just because we saw

92
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: it on Broadway and I have those songs stuck in

93
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: my head. So but yeah, I still loved it. I

94
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: was very excited to see it. I thought Ariana and

95
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: Cynthia did a great job.

96
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: But that's your best of the month. What do you

97
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: give it?

98
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: I also give it a four out of five bubbles.

99
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I think that's that's as good as it is. Yeah,

100
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I think the first of bad writing. I want to see.

101
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: I want to watch them now whenever they go to

102
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: streaming the first one right into the second one and

103
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: see how it feels. Okay, well we'll do that. My

104
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: favorite for November best of the month, I'm gonna go

105
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: with Frankenstein, which we were gonna watch together and you

106
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: were like, that movie's too long and too weird. I

107
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: can't commit myself do it.

108
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: We were gonna watch it on a Sunday night, and

109
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: then we weren't gonna start it till like seven thirty

110
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 2: and it's over two hours, and you're like, these days

111
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: hard bed time of nine, Yeah, gotta go to in bed,

112
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: tucked in, like rolled over.

113
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: My matching pajamas on my little hat. Yeah. And we

114
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: were like, how we can't commit. I can't start a

115
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: movie past seven if it's two hours. But I watched

116
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: it on a Saturday morning and I really loved it.

117
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: I think Oscar Isaac is a really good actor. Jacob

118
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Elordie of The Kissing Booth fame, which he doesn't claim

119
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: anymore has now comes up. He is such a good actor,

120
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: he really is, and he just looks so different than

121
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: everybody else because he's so tall and like strikingly good looking.

122
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: But here he is the creature. I guess I wasn't

123
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: expecting to be as moved by this movie that I was,

124
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: because it was it really emotional. It was not just

125
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: a story about a crazy doctor giving birth to this creature,

126
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: but it was like a story about how we treat monsters,

127
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: and how in this one they actually give the creature

128
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: a personality where he's thinking and has his own character story,

129
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: and how it's all kind of broke it up into

130
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: chapters where you get all these different perspectives. I wasn't

131
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: expecting it to be so in depth in such a

132
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: movie to just kind of move me where Now I

133
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: think this could be in contingent for Best Picture. It

134
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: is so good, all the performances are so good, and

135
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to Netflix Original movies, this

136
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: is the best thing they put out easily all year,

137
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: maybe in the last five years.

138
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna say they try to put out like

139
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: at least one really strong one for Oscar contenders.

140
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it yet. I think you would

141
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: have been. I don't know, because it is a little weird,

142
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: It is a little dark. It starts out at the ending,

143
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: which I enjoyed, but I still think you would have

144
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: liked it. What about your worst?

145
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: Oh, House of Dynamite?

146
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of Netflix, why didn't you like? This? Was a

147
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: pretty controversial movie because I think I just like the ending,

148
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: which is I think what a lot of people didn't

149
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: enjoy it kind of like Frankenstein. You get all the well,

150
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: not in the same way, but you get a lot

151
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: of different vantage points of one situation where there's a

152
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: crisis going on in the United States kind of across

153
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: the entire world, and you get all these different people

154
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: in powers perspectives on what is happening, from the people

155
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: at the beginning who are like, what's that? What were

156
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: they in the beginning? Like the war room or something

157
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: like that, situation room, situation room, that's what it is,

158
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: all the way up to the president. I enjoyed the

159
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: ending because I think this movie was I knew you

160
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: meant to make a statement that danger like this could

161
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: be looming at any time, which I think freak me

162
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: out where something like this could happen every single day.

163
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: There are things we do not know about that are

164
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: going on that they keep from us because I.

165
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: Thought every time we watched like a political movie or

166
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: TV shore.

167
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: It would cause chaos. So I think I lef satisfied

168
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: because I don't think this movie was meant to here's

169
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the beginning, middle, and end, and here's a resolution. I

170
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: think it was to show you how many people go

171
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: into making these types of decisions and how stressful it is.

172
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: Where you saw all these people freaking out and trying

173
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: to remain cool, and showing you how they're kind of

174
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: human too, which we forget. We think these people at

175
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the top are like superhuman.

176
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: No, I constantly remember their human.

177
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: That's why I'm stressed. I think I enjoyed seeing that,

178
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: seeing them kind of crack under the pressure of maybe.

179
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: You want to think about the people in leadership cracking

180
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: under pressure.

181
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, you think about those things and you see them

182
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: in a professional setting, how they try to remain cool,

183
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: but you see them crack when they like kind of

184
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: go away and they like talk to their families and

185
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, you're a human too.

186
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: We took very different things away from this movie.

187
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: I know, but I enjoy. I enjoy any type of

188
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: movie that makes me ask questions about the world and

189
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: makes me feel a certain way. And I think that's

190
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: what the ending was supposed to do. It was supposed

191
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: to make you feel decisive about it, because if it

192
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: was just wrapped up in a nice little package by

193
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: the end of it, if you would not be talkingpped up.

194
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: But I just wanted more story. I didn't need it

195
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: to be wrapped up. It could have had like the

196
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: worst ending ever, like in terms of like the outcome

197
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: for people, but I just needed an ending.

198
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: You're not a fan of cinematic blue balls or just

199
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: kind of leave you when you're.

200
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: Like, no, I'm I'm I understand the reference. Well, you

201
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: didn't look like confused as to why you just used

202
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: that reference on a podcast, because that's what the this

203
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: movie does. This family friendly that was not very friendly.

204
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: And I'm not allowed to curse on here.

205
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't curse. I didn't say it curse word, Okay,

206
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: but I really enjoyed that. What did you rate it

207
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: being your worst of the month?

208
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: Two point five out of five bumkers?

209
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: I would give it a three point five out of five,

210
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: where mainly because I think whenever you have a lot

211
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: of different perspectives and it's kind of going over the

212
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: same thing again, it gets a little bit repetitive. So

213
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I feel like the story itself was only probably twin

214
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: five minutes, and then you see it in all different

215
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: perspectives points. Yeah, but that is your worst of the month.

216
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: For me, My worst of the month, sadly was the

217
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: movie you really wanted to see sentimental value, and I

218
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: think it's just because we didn't time and day. Yeah,

219
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: that's the big thing. I will say that I.

220
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: Felt like I was taking a toddler to a movie

221
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: that they couldn't sit through.

222
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: I think when we went to go see this, which

223
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: was the night before Thanksgiving, I was not in a

224
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: position to sit and watch a movie like this. There's

225
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: over two hours, yes, probably like two tannish and I

226
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: just couldn't sit still in this because it's a very

227
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: slow burn. It is half in one language, half in

228
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: English Norwegian the other language. I kind of forgot what

229
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: language it was in because it was a lot of reading,

230
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: and I was into it for about the first thirty

231
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: minutes and then I just got so restless where.

232
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: It almost made you get up and move away. From

233
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: it because you're so distracting you needed like a fidget spinner.

234
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: It's because it was such a slow burn, which is

235
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: it's a movie about a daughter and father really at

236
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the core of it, where they have a.

237
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: Really contentious relationship and.

238
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: There's a lot of family drama. The father is a director,

239
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: which I thought I was going to lean into a lot,

240
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: because it's a movie about making a movie where he's

241
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: trying to make what is probably going to be his masterpiece,

242
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: and he wants his daughter to be a part of

243
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the movie. She's an actor as well, acting in a play,

244
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: and she does not want to be a part of

245
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: it because she's like, how is he just going to

246
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: come out of nowhere and then want me to be

247
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: a part of his movie? And it's about her and

248
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: her sister and her family in this house that they

249
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: lived in his kids. I just think I wasn't prepared

250
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: for such a slow burn of a movie. And I

251
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: love foreign films because I feel like you really get

252
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: to understand the emotion of it because you're paying so

253
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: much more attention by reading it. But I think because

254
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: the acting wasn't as dynamic as it has been in

255
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: some of the foreign films we have seen that. It

256
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: was hard for me to get into it. I loved

257
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: it because the overall emotion was just very somber, the

258
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: entire time, really emotional. I just think part of it

259
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: was was not in the place to watch a movie

260
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: at this level at the day we went on.

261
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: It was like the equivalent of when I read like

262
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: literary affection. That's what it felt like to me, just

263
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: like a slice of life family story, and that's what

264
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: I love in books.

265
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: I love the coziness of it where it felt like

266
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: just from the trailer, I was like, that is a movie.

267
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: Like we've been seeing this trailer for like a.

268
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Month trailer and we're like a thousand times.

269
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: That is going to be a movie, Like right up

270
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: my alley. I just could not quite get into this one.

271
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I would probably give it a two point five five

272
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: for sentimental value. What would you give it?

273
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: That's that's what I gave.

274
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: I probably feel how about this one that you did

275
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: about that movie?

276
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: I would probably give it a three seven five.

277
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. What about your Well, let's run through

278
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: all the other movies we saw this year this year,

279
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: we'll do that next month. This month in November started

280
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: with House of Dynamite, which we talked about Predator. Bad

281
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: Lands almost made my top of the list, which el

282
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Fanning was also in sentimental value.

283
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: For the Fannings.

284
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is going to be in what I'll talk

285
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: about later. The new Hunger Games movie.

286
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: I gave Dakota was on a show that we watched

287
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: this month of week.

288
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about it. So a lot of Fannings

289
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: in the month of November. I gave bad Lands a

290
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: four out of five. If you can still find a

291
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: theater showing that movie, highly recommend that one. Neuremberg which

292
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: just kind of came out and deserved.

293
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: Way more hype, so good. It was almost my best

294
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: stuff the month.

295
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Tell us what this movie was about.

296
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: It is about the psychologist that tended to did interviews

297
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: with Hermann Goring, who was Hitler's second in command while

298
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: he's awaiting trial at Nuremberg. And so it was about

299
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: like the Nuremberg trials as a whole, and how they

300
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: were the first trial for war crimes against humanity, and

301
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: like how it couldn't be done or it hadn't been

302
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: done before. And so it was the proceeding up to

303
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: the trial trying to get as much out of them

304
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: that they could use in the trial to make a

305
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: case against them.

306
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Remy Mallet goes in to try to keep

307
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: him healthy because he's in such bad shape. He's just

308
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: trying to make sure he doesn't have a heart attack.

309
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Makes it to the trial, and he's played by Russell Crowe.

310
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: And then you also have Michael Shannon in this.

311
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: There Shannon, thank you couldn't name There were.

312
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: So many great actors just acting their faces off the

313
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: entire time.

314
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: And then Leo Woodle from White Lotus. He was phenomenal

315
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: in it. I was excited about this man. I was

316
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: from the minute that I saw the trailer because world

317
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: War Two.

318
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I think the poster does this movie about gives it

319
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: a raw deal because the poster looks boring. It is

320
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: like that greenish, almost black and white color. He doesn't

321
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: really tell you a whole lot of it.

322
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: Do you How do you make the Nuremberg Trials like exciting?

323
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how you do it.

324
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: But the poster alone didn't make it look enticing to me.

325
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: And about ten minutes into the movie, I was like,

326
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: this is great, Like it's fantastic.

327
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: There's phenomenal acting from Russell Crowe and Remy Mallick and

328
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: Michael Shannon, who was a Was he a Supreme Court justice.

329
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: Or was that what he was trying to be trying

330
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: to be? Yeah, that's what he was trying to be.

331
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: But all the way leading up to the actual try,

332
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: like all these things, I wasn't I didn't know the

333
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: timeline of all these things, which after World War Two ended,

334
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: I think we're just like, oh, we won, we all

335
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: go back to normal, But you think about all the

336
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: fallout that happens after that.

337
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: It happened.

338
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: But I think for me, who doesn't have as much

339
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: knowledge about World War Two as you do, this was

340
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: also a great history lesson for me, and a lot

341
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: of it was historically accurate, so I felt like I

342
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: actually learned things and kind of blew my mind. Will

343
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: make you angry at times. There are some parts that

344
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: are so moving because they actually show some footage that

345
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: it is hard to watch, but they do it in

346
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the trial to really get their point across, because it

347
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: was so crazy to me to see how again, I

348
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's spoiling it because it's history, how he

349
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: could have got away with some of this stuff. Even

350
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: though you think there's no way that he could not

351
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: be let go from this, you kind of see like

352
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: how it could have happened.

353
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: How hard they had to work to build a case,

354
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: and just I think what was so interesting too was

355
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: seeing how they brought the court together and that it

356
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: was a trial of like all of the countries and

357
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: just against like the first trial of its kind. It

358
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: was interesting, yes, and built there they were like there's

359
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: no precedent for this, like we are creating the precedent.

360
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: And as far as like the footage that's hard to watch,

361
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: I also take the stance of like, I think it's

362
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: so important that even when things like that are hard

363
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: to watch, so we don't look away, like yeah, that's

364
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: how that's how history and that's how we keep history

365
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: from repeating itself, is that we look at the heart

366
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: stuff when we say, oh god, we can never let

367
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: this happen again. I feel like Russell Crowe could be

368
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: Oscar nominated for that.

369
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I would think.

370
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: So that was a really good portrayal of such an

371
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: evil person.

372
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: I think if this movie gets enough attention, if they

373
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: do the whole campaigning for it, I think he could.

374
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: He is that powerful in this, and I think it's

375
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: a movie that just kind of went under the radar

376
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: because even though you have all these fantastic Oscar level

377
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: actors in it, it just didn't really get the much

378
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: like publicity. So yeah, there's a lot going on around it.

379
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: And like I said, boring poster, great movie.

380
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes those are the best movies though, like they spend

381
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: more money on the actors.

382
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, story itself in the poster and the set does

383
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: all those things. We also saw a Die My Love,

384
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: which was the Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence. I was

385
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna say Catinus Aberdeen weird.

386
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: Seeing Edward Colin and Catinus Aberdeen in the woods.

387
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: I didn't love this when we went to go see it,

388
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: but I thought about it so much the week after

389
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: it and it kind of had an impact on me

390
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: that even though I wouldn't recommend anybody to go see

391
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: it just because it's really weird, it's really weird.

392
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: You have to be like real movie buff to want

393
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: to see this one because.

394
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: It's about them too. They get married, they have a kid,

395
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: they live out in the middle of nowhere, and a

396
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: lot of the struggles of having a kid.

397
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's like postpartum, the issues that came up

398
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: for her. I don't want to spoil anything.

399
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: And if it was just a cut and dry drama

400
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: like that, it would have been great. But then you

401
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: have all these things that just make it really weird.

402
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: And each of their characters are bizarre but somehow not

403
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: bizarre enough.

404
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's why you said it was weird, not weird, because.

405
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: Weird not weird enough where if you're gonna go full weird,

406
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: full meta, I kind of wanted to go to one hundred.

407
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: It's right around like sixty percent on the weird. I

408
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: couldn't stop thinking about it. But in the moment I

409
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: was like, I thought I was gonna enjoy this more.

410
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: But that was din my love. I surprise the Running

411
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Man didn't get up in your Best of the Month.

412
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 2: I mean, if Glenn Powell isn't it, and I wouldn't have.

413
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: Been wouldn't have enjoyed it at all. That was not

414
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: that I.

415
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have enjoyed it at all, but I wouldn't have

416
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: been like, oh my God, have to see this, Like

417
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: Wicked for Good was something I was excited about, and

418
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: the Nuremberg is my like hyperfixation of world War two things,

419
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: so those were gonna take the top spots.

420
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be my best of the month,

421
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: and I think there was just something lacking in the

422
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: overall story to make it worthy of a remake that

423
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: did not deliver from me because I thought Glenn Powell

424
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: was great.

425
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: I still think it's a good movie.

426
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: Still a good movie.

427
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in like movie season when it's cold,

428
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: or you have family in town with the holidays and

429
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: you're like, can't sit around and stare at each other

430
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 2: any longer, like great time here some movies.

431
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: I think it came out at the wrong time.

432
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: I think it should have been in December.

433
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh, December. I think this would have been great, like

434
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the start of the summer. Oh, this movie feels hot

435
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: to me. You're right, it feels like summer. Yeah, we

436
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: saw it in November.

437
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: I was just thinking December for again, the like holidays,

438
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: the holiday when people get bored or people have time off.

439
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: You're kind of right there. For when it came out

440
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: in December, it could have been like the counterprogramming to

441
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: all the like the avatars coming out at the later

442
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: of the monthline, we don't want to go watch Avatar,

443
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: let's go watch this action movie. Dang, this probably would

444
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: have done better in December, because right now it's kind

445
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: of a flop as far as how much they spin

446
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: on it and did not really make a whole lot

447
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: opening weekend or the second weekend.

448
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: Listen Glenn Palin SNLVO that weekend.

449
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: Hello, I enjoyed that more.

450
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: I haven't watched a full episode of S and Lan

451
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: so long because I usually fall asleep. I was awake.

452
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: I was up till twelve fifteen watching it. I made

453
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: it to the music.

454
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I made it to the musical guest.

455
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: Which is about what you usually do. No, you made it.

456
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: I feel like you made it longer.

457
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I think I watched the sketch after the

458
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: musical guest and then I didn't make it to week

459
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: end update.

460
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 2: That's correct, you never do.

461
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: But still a good movie, just when it comes to

462
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: Edgar Wright's movies. Not his best either.

463
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: Coleman Domingo was creating it.

464
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: He was it was like all the.

465
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: Show, and Coleman Josh Rowling too, But their press tour

466
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: has been so funny. I love watching them on. Coleman

467
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: and Glenn and Pressed together.

468
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: They should do another movie. Together an action movie, I agree.

469
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: We also saw and Now You See Me, Now You Don't,

470
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: which came out the same week.

471
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: Pretty enjoyable.

472
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: That was good. Didn't expect to like it so much,

473
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: I've heard I pretty much hated the second one. This

474
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: one kind of got back on track. A surprising three

475
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: out of five for me, maybe even a little bit

476
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: higher than that.

477
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: I loved the camp If you saying aber Kadapa by Lady.

478
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: Gaga, Oh yeah, And there's a lot of.

479
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Little on the nose you little enjoyed it.

480
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: That's kind of the essence of these movies.

481
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: And I feel like they've taken more of an on

482
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: the nose approach, which makes it more self aware and like,

483
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: more enjoyable.

484
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: It's very cheesy, it's very lowest common to not dominator

485
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's crowd pleasing. It's magic. Magic

486
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a little bit cheesy and over

487
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: the top. You look at any magician, you're like, I

488
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: would not be friends with that person, but they are

489
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: great at what they do. That is how I feel

490
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: about Now You See Me, Now you Don't.

491
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: When you say lowest common denominator, I actually go to

492
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: like the process and math of finding.

493
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: How are you gonna find that? You take one night tutors,

494
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: the numerator, the denominator LI was in my brain. I

495
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: also watched the Selena documentary on Netflix Bias Alert, because

496
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: I love Selena. I gave that one a four point

497
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: five out of five. Also on our trips in November,

498
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: I watched the original Selena movie with Jennifer Lopez. Mm hmm, man,

499
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: that's good stuff. I forgot how good that movie is.

500
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like because then you watched this one,

501
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: yeah on the plane, So every time I'd like, wake up,

502
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: it's you watching us something.

503
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: What I learned at the documentary, I did not realize

504
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: how much she grind in the eighties because she started

505
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: when she was a kid and they toured so much

506
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: through Texas. Is grind the correct grind on the road?

507
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't feel like that sentence, how much she

508
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: grind ground.

509
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: How much of a grind it was.

510
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: I just don't feel like that sentence.

511
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: As a family, they were grinding and hustling as far

512
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: as trying to make it because they were broke. They

513
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: started a restaurant that didn't pan out. They had to

514
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: go live with their uncles in Corpus Christy and then

515
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: music was the only thing their dad knew and they

516
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: were like, let's try to make money at this. And

517
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: from the time they were kids too, where she really

518
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: struck it big in the nineties, they were just touring

519
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: like crazy. I never really saw all of what went

520
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: into that. I kind of just remember as a kid

521
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: her being famous and then her being gone. So if

522
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: you are a fan of Selena and you don't know

523
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: her entire story, really great documentarity to watch on Netflix.

524
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: Wicked for Good. I gave a four out of five.

525
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: We talked about sentimental value, and then we closed out

526
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: the month with a very Jonas Christmas movie, which you

527
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: were like, we gotta watch this, okay.

528
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: I asked if you wanted to watch it, because I said,

529
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 2: I'll watch it by myself, okay, And you said we

530
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: can watch that over like Thanksgiving break or something. It's

531
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: a fun like four a into the Christmas season, and

532
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: you didn't hate it.

533
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: I enjoyed this movie.

534
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: You sat there and you laughed a couple times. You

535
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: didn't even mind them breaking out into song.

536
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Because I remember watching the Jonas Brothers TV show on

537
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: Disney Channel where it was kind of a sitcom. I

538
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: think it was just called Jonas it was.

539
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: I feel like that was a little past year Disney

540
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: Channel inter I.

541
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: Get back into Disney Channel and later whenever I had cable,

542
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: like i'll watch anything, just teasing, but I remember liking

543
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: that show and I think it got canceled after like

544
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: the season or two two seasons. Yeah, And I enjoy

545
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: them as actors probably more than I do musicians.

546
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: Have been I've been rewatching their documentary on Amazon Prime

547
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: and you've been in the room and like, I'll look

548
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: over little you're watching it.

549
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm always just fascinated with people who get famous when

550
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: they're really young and how it affects them and they even.

551
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: In the family dynamic at all.

552
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's also what you got to see

553
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: in this movie about you think a lot of that

554
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: stuff is real about how they feel about each other.

555
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: You need to watch Chasing Happy.

556
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's all in there. Yes, I'm new to this, Yes, Okay,

557
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Well I didn't really know that dynamic and how upfront

558
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: they are about it. So I'm fascinated by people who

559
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: have been famous basically their entire lives, where they talk

560
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: about in this movie.

561
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: They have to be more upfront about it. After the

562
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: band broke up and got back together. How they got

563
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: back together, It was all the therapy.

564
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: So I got about that.

565
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: Gotta watch Chasing Abbiness.

566
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: But then you had Chloe Bennett in it, who I

567
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: liked and Dave.

568
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: I saw her in person one time.

569
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

570
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: I was at Walton's, which I don't know if it's

571
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: still open in Austin. It was a Sandra Bullock owned restaurant.

572
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: I was there on my twentieth birthday, having lunch with

573
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: my mom. And she was dating Austin Nichols at the time,

574
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: who was on One Tree Hill and he's from Austin,

575
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: Austin from Austin, and they were dating and they came

576
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 2: in and I geeked a little inside, but you know,

577
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: left him alone.

578
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: She was really good in this.

579
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: She was great in this.

580
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: You were like, this is a little scandalous for Disney Plus,

581
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's a Hulu.

582
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 2: At one point, she's in her braun underwear swimming yeah,

583
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 2: And I was like, I didn't know Disney Plus went

584
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: that far. But we couldn't get the Lizzie McGuire reboot.

585
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: That is wild.

586
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: Make it make sense.

587
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: And now that the two have merged. It's going to

588
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they filter some of the

589
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: content because I think some of the appeal at Disney

590
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Plus was like, it's all family friendly, right.

591
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: But a lot of stuff that they put on Hulu

592
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: isn't and then friendly.

593
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: I think that started whenever they got the Netflix Marvel shows,

594
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: which are really bloody and violet, and then they had

595
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: that was a big controversy and now you have people

596
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: in an underwear. It's all welcome.

597
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: But it was a great movie. I enjoyed it. We

598
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 2: watched it after the parade because.

599
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: Which was great this year. The parade was so good

600
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: this year, all three hours of the Macy's dabs three

601
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: and a half, three and a half hours.

602
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: I think they said millennials because if you think about it,

603
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: millennials are the largest I was actually just reading an

604
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: academic journal about like millennials and gen.

605
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: Z and how how cringe were they we are No.

606
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: I was talking about how like millennials are the largest

607
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: group of parents now. So I was thinking along that

608
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: line of like, yeah, the kids want to watch the parade,

609
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: but they were like, how do we get the millennials?

610
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: And they said we're gonna have bust Rhymes on the

611
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: Ninja Turtles best collab of the entire Shaggy singing wasn't

612
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: me on a float? Not a single child knows about

613
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: that song. And then we're gonna get a little John

614
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: doing turned down for what on the Toys r Us

615
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: float with Jeffrey the Giraffe up top DJing.

616
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I love how they were the entire time teasing the

617
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: K pop debit hunters because they knew how big that was.

618
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: That's kind of how they entice the younger audience.

619
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: Don't forget Chris Jackson from Hamilton on the Sesame Street float.

620
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean a great float full of bangers.

621
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: It was great, loved it, loved the parade, so then

622
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: I was in the spirit. We got new Christmas mugs

623
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: which I wouldn't allow us to use until yesterday. With

624
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: the parade, their elf mine says We're congratulations, World's best

625
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: cup of coffee, and then yours says the best way

626
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: to spread Christmas cher singing loud for all to here.

627
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: I can't stop buying from the Elf and Powdery Burn Club.

628
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: Best Thanksgiving in a while, I think since the last

629
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: time we went to New York and saw the parade

630
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: in person.

631
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: It was so nice. We watched the parade, we watched

632
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: the Jonas movie, then we got lunch ready, we watched

633
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: the Cowboys game. I took a little nap, and then

634
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: we went to Utopia.

635
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: Uh, back to the Jonas Brothers movie. I think why

636
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it so much is that it kind of

637
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: reminded me of those dumb nineties Christmas movies that we

638
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: don't really get anymore. Yes, We're the whole thing is

639
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: them just trying to get home and now they can't

640
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: get home.

641
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: It's every Hallmark movie. But the acting was better with

642
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: the Jonas Brothers.

643
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: And better songs. The songs are good.

644
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: Songs were good, and I think the fact that, yeah,

645
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: they've done acting before made it. My favorite part was

646
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: the candle bit makes me laugh every time.

647
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: Glow by Joe, Glow by Joe, and.

648
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: He's like, you're just man because you're a candle. Candle.

649
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: I didn't take off. The world wasn't ready for Wick.

650
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: But Nick our TV show for the month, we both

651
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: watched the same thing.

652
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 2: Are we talking about Utopia?

653
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing it in the full review, but if you

654
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: want to give your thoughts on it, I'll.

655
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: Go so good. I didn't want to have to get

656
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: up to go pee.

657
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: Didn't expect that from Zutopia, did you?

658
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: I didn't. I really didn't, but I dialed in. I

659
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: was so dialed in. At one point I was like, Oh,

660
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: I should I should go the bathroom. I can't make it,

661
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: but yeah, it was great. I loved the vibe of

662
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: everyone in their post Thanksgiving comfees. Thanksgiving, there were blankets,

663
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: there were pajamas. Everyone like reclined watching Zutopia.

664
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: That felt like a big living room, like we all

665
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: were hanging out in the same fell like a sleepover.

666
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 2: Okay, TV show, we watched All.

667
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: Her Fault only TV show I watched this month on.

668
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: Peacock with Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning. It was great.

669
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: We watched like a couple episodes and then we binged

670
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing. It's a show that but the rest

671
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: of it.

672
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: It's a show that hooks you. In episode one, scene

673
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: one yes, where her kid goes missing, they have to

674
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: find out where the kid is, and then it gets

675
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: crazier and crazier. It got a little bit more unbelievable

676
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: as it went along, where it takes you on all

677
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: these different turns and ups and downs and twists where

678
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little bit much that it

679
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: got away from the purpose and the initial reason the

680
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: show started, but highly entertaining because it got to a

681
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: point that we had to just finishit, where like we

682
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: can't go another day without figuring out how this thing ends.

683
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, without knowing what happens.

684
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: But a little bit a little over the top right

685
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: where the drama wasn't.

686
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: As I mean, yeah, that's any TV show though.

687
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like some of these dramas can

688
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: be like a little bit more like refined, like a

689
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: task or like a mayor of East Town, where can

690
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: have some similar vibes, but the acting is a little

691
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: bit stronger. Here it was a little bit more Okay,

692
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: you see what this is on Peacock.

693
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: Multiple Emmy nominated actors and actresses watch yourself.

694
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: I know, but just because they're great actors doesn't mean

695
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: that the interaction.

696
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: But the writing has to be good for them to

697
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: act it.

698
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Well, maybe it was the overall story was a little

699
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: bit too over the till it's not put it on

700
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: the actress and they were just putting it on themselves.

701
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Sarah Snook Abby Elliott coud A Fanning. Yeah,

702
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: incredible lineup overall.

703
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, but it was it kind of lost

704
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: me as it went along as far as like, how

705
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: good I thought it was going to be.

706
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: Yes, there were some parts where it fell off.

707
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: And now makes me not angry that we have Peacock

708
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: now for another year. I'm like, Okay, they can give

709
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: us another one of those. I mean, there's been some

710
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: solid shows on Peacock.

711
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: There's that show I like when we just get so

712
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: bored at Christmas break that we just start watching random things.

713
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: We watched that one show. They did cancel it late. Yeah,

714
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: that was good.

715
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: It was good. It was gone. Nothing gets a second

716
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: season on Peacock apparently that we like, well.

717
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit one season one hit Wonders we

718
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: can watch.

719
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: What about your book of the Month? We're getting close

720
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: to your I know, month or year in review.

721
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: I know I was going through the other because I've

722
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: read eighty three now, so I'm over my goal of

723
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: seventy five. So it's going through and trying to pick

724
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: my top ten of the year. This month was a

725
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: bit of a sleeper month. There weren't as many good

726
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: ones I would say, the best one was one called

727
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: Heart the Lover by Lily King. Again kind of literary fiction.

728
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: It's about these college students and their friendship and then

729
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: later on in adulthood. It's good. I don't want to

730
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: give too much away. Starts as them like meeting each

731
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: other in class and kind of like a little love triangle,

732
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: and then them in adulthood and just life. And yeah,

733
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: it was really good.

734
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: So probably nothing from November good to make your top

735
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: ten of the year.

736
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: I don't think so unless I read anything really good

737
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: in the first few weeks of December, which my Book

738
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: of the Month is on the way, and that's like

739
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: one of the most anticipated of December, so I may

740
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: have to speed read that one because it might make

741
00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: my list.

742
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: All right, well, everybody has that to look forward to

743
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: next month. Anything else you got do We get to

744
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: do my book challenge again this year?

745
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: On my birthday?

746
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. That is the interesting thing about your birthday

747
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: is it's right around Christmas.

748
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: I know, our bank account loves that. It's kind of

749
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: like when you're a kid and your parents are buying

750
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: your presents. You like, don't feel as bad. I mean

751
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: I did feel bad, but it's kind of like not

752
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: my problem, not being an adult. You're like, oh, that's

753
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: also my money.

754
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: I realized this year though, why I love it is

755
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: because I get to take advantage of all the sales

756
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: that are happening right now, which if you had a

757
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: birthday at any other time of the year, there wouldn't

758
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: be this many sales. It's true, and I tried to

759
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: make sure that both things get an equal amount of

760
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: attention where it's not like, here's all your Christmas presents

761
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: and then are of your birthday stuff.

762
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind either way. It's kind of like at

763
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: this point, I just although you said you did some surprises,

764
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: I tried to like not just send you a full

765
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: list of links this year, but.

766
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can do the thing where we go to

767
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: the bookstore and you have well decide on how much

768
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: time you get. You'll get more time than last time,

769
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: because it was a little bit harder than we thought.

770
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was not a lot of time. Because it's

771
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: also hard when the books are like arranged by spine

772
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: because you've not seen the cover, like I'm trying to

773
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: find things.

774
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the challenges was the last time was it

775
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: ninety seconds?

776
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: Ninety seconds that was not a lot.

777
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: Grab as many books as you can, and whatever you get,

778
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: you get to watch.

779
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 2: That's what a list because I didn't want to just

780
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: get whatever, because I want if I don't like.

781
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: The book or the challenge, different approach this year.

782
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to start game planning it. I got

783
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: about five weeks.

784
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and give my spoiler free

785
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: review of Zutopia two. Let's get into it now. A

786
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: spoiler free movie review of Zutopia two. There's nothing I

787
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: love doing more than talking about a movie meant for

788
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: kids as a thirty four year old man. But when

789
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: Utopia one came out back in twenty sixteen, that was

790
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: life changing for me because I believe at that time

791
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: Utopia really bridged the gap of a movie that was

792
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: appealing to kids because you have these fun animated critters

793
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: doing a lot of ridiculous things, saying a bunch of funny,

794
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: witty lines with a mess that not only kids needed

795
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: to learn, but also adults. Because at that time, I

796
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: just remember it hitting so hard and bridging this gap

797
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: of like this movie goes beyond just a family friendly movie.

798
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: It is teaching you about prejudice and about all these

799
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: injustices in the world and how we perceive people, and

800
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: how we can treat people differently just because how they

801
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: are perceived in society. In this case, you have animals

802
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: who are seen as predators, as being the bad guy

803
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: now in Zutopia, and there's also a lot of corruption

804
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: in the city. So it's teaching kids a lot of

805
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: things about how the world works without being a little

806
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: bit too much and too overwhelming, although at times Utopia

807
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: was just on the next level of like, oh man,

808
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe they really put that in there. I

809
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: do think, however, in Zutopia too, I don't feel like

810
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: those political themes are at the forefront as much as

811
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: they were in part one. They are still there because

812
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: it's still talking about the big city, still talking about

813
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: the corruption and the people in power, and I just

814
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: think they leaned a little bit more into the fun

815
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: aspect of it and the dynamic between Judy Hops and

816
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: Nick Wilde and how they work together. So what Utopia

817
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: two is about. It actually takes place a week after

818
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: Utopia one, which I thought was a really interesting time

819
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: for this movie to take place, because not a whole

820
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of time has passed. Judy Hobbs and Nick Wilde

821
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: have just completed their first case. They are now working

822
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: together because Nick is now an officer, so they are

823
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: still at the point where they need to prove themselves.

824
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to be a one hit wonder. They

825
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: want to continue to show people that they are meant

826
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: to be together. But the problem is is Judy and

827
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Nick are not really getting along where Judy really doesn't

828
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: value the things that Nick is telling her, and everything

829
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: they do as a unit, it is really what Judy

830
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: is saying and that is what they are doing. He

831
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a whole lot of input. So there

832
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: is this struggle between their dynamic and they have to

833
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: learn how to work together better. And because one of

834
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: them is a bunny and one of them is a fox,

835
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: they almost have to prove it to a point where

836
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: it's undeniable, where all these people are telling them this

837
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: is never going to work. Neither of you should be here.

838
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: There's never been a bunny cop, there's never been a

839
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: fox cop. You guys are going to fail. That last

840
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: case that you cracked was a fluke. So they are

841
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: already working at a disadvantage of having to prove to

842
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: people that Okay, we can do this, we can be

843
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: good cops. We have to go so over the top

844
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: to prove it to these people, and that is going

845
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: to cause a lot of friction proving to people that

846
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: they can work together. And the message here more to

847
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: kids is how can you work with somebody and be fair?

848
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: Which I thought was an interesting concept to really play

849
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: out throughout this entire movie where I felt like, even

850
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: me as an adult, as somebody who has been married

851
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: now for almost five years, that was an important lesson

852
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: for me to learn because it shows you how a

853
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: dynamic like this works when you are both trying to

854
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: achieve a goal. It could just be in a marriage

855
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: trying to do things that feel fair to everybody, where

856
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: everybody is having their voice heard, and you were doing

857
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: things that are better for you as a unit and

858
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: not just for the one person, Not just the one

859
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: person saying Okay, this is what we do. We're gonna

860
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: do this no matter what. Even though this is what

861
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: I think is best, it has to be what both

862
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: of you think is best. Where Nick is a little

863
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: bit more relaxed, he's always cracking jokes. It probably seems

864
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: to others like he doesn't care as much, although he

865
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: really does. That is just all those defense mechanisms are

866
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: really coming from his trauma that he faced as a kid.

867
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: So now he is having to show like I do

868
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: care about this stuff, I just care about it differently,

869
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: and he wants his voice heard in this partnership. So

870
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: that is the big struggle throughout this movie. Can they

871
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: work together or will their differences be so great that

872
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: they have to hang it up. They have to say, Okay,

873
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: maybe this wasn't supposed to really happen. Everybody else was right,

874
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: and we are not supposed to be together as a team. Now,

875
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: when you talk about the comedic aspects of Zutopia two,

876
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: this is where I feel it pales in comparison to

877
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: the original, because I rewatched the original going into this one,

878
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: and it just has such better writing. And maybe it's

879
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: just because when that movie came out, it was a

880
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: little bit more novel when you're just opening yourself up

881
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: to Zutopia, which is this world where every animal can

882
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: coexist for the most part. But now in Zutopia two,

883
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: you have a snake that enters the picture, and there

884
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been a snake in Zutopia for over one hundred years.

885
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: And they're having to crack this case while this snake

886
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: played by Kihui Kwan in the movie called Gary. The

887
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: snake comes to town causes a massive uproar, and then

888
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: Nick and Judy actually side with the snake and everybody

889
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: thinks they've gone rogue, and now they have to clear

890
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: their name and also help out their new snake friend.

891
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: So you have that same city here with all the

892
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: animals that you saw in part one, but because they

893
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: have to go on the run, it expands itself up

894
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: to seeing all these other animals that we haven't seen before.

895
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: That I thought that was a really fun way to

896
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: expand this world and kind of show you the different

897
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: classes inside of this world where it's almost all the cute, fun,

898
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: furry animals get to live in the city, and then

899
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: when you open up the city to the outskirts, where

900
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: you see probably where I would have lived as an animal,

901
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: you get to see all these more unique creatures, And

902
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: that just made it a lot of fun and showed

903
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: me that this didn't feel like a fourced sequel, that

904
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: there was actually world building in this movie, character development

905
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: and showing us something that we didn't see in the

906
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: original where sometimes when it comes to animated sequels, they

907
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: kind of just do the same thing over and over again,

908
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: don't really give you a whole lot more. Maybe try

909
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: to cram in some new characters in there to just

910
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: sell some more tickets to Disney World or sell some

911
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: more merch. But in this case, I felt like all

912
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: the new pieces were there for a reason. My new

913
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: favorite character is Zutobia two was voiced by Fortune Fimster

914
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Nibbles maple Stick, who is a beaver and conspiracy theorist

915
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: has a podcast. That character was really funny, ended up

916
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: being a key player and also a big part of

917
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: the comedic relief. And I think when it came to

918
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: most of the laughs in Zutopia two, it came from Nibbles,

919
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: and that is something that I was looking a little

920
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: bit more from in this movie because Zutopia one did

921
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: it so well. Was just the writing, the clever puns.

922
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: I would say the comedy in Zutopia two came much

923
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: more from the physical things and the chases. When it

924
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: comes to what I think adults would still enjoy more

925
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: definitely Zutopia one. Zutopia two definitely leans more into creating

926
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: a family friendly movie for the younger kids who maybe

927
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: the first one went over their heads when they watched

928
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: it for the first time. You also had Andy Samberg

929
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: as a Lynx character, because the Lynx family is a

930
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty big part of this movie as well. And then

931
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: my favorite cameo was probably Roman Reigns and Seeing Punk.

932
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: Who Seeing Punk is my favorite WWE wrestler right now.

933
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: They played two cops known as the Zebras. They weren't

934
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: a big part of the movie, but the times they

935
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: were kind of sprinkled in there I really enjoyed. So

936
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: I think if you have younger kids, they are going

937
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: to love this one way more than they love Part one.

938
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I think as an adult you might be the only

939
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: one to understand some of the references to eighties movies.

940
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: There are back to the future references. At one point,

941
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: there's a shining reference where I thought, are they really

942
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: doing the shining right now? I thought that was really cool.

943
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: I also just love how they expanded on the world more,

944
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: including things that we have in our world, like Google,

945
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: but instead in Zootopia it's Zogle, or they have bug

946
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: light whenever they go to a bar, or their version

947
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: of Hulu. Is just kind of funny to see those

948
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: little details in there, which is something that Zutopia always

949
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: does really well. There might be a joke in the background,

950
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: there might be something that's a little one second throwaway,

951
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: but it allows you to think maybe somewhere in this

952
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: world that Zutopia actually exists and there are animals walking

953
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: around in full suits. I also do think it is

954
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: is worth seeing in theaters right now, mainly because with

955
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: such a big movie like this from Disney, they are

956
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: going to wait until the very last minute to put

957
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: it on Disney Plus, especially now around the holidays, so

958
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't see it on Disney Plus until like

959
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: mid March. And I think that is another thing that

960
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: is just really exciting to me, feeling like the holiday

961
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: season is now kicked off. A good Thanksgiving movie. We

962
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: went to a pack showing a lot of people just

963
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: they're really excited, laughing the entire time. That starts to

964
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, I'm ready to go into holiday mode.

965
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: If you have been kind of waiting because it is

966
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: expensive to go to the movies. I know that the

967
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: lines were long, and I saw a lot of parents

968
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: just like, oh my gosh, we're dropping so much money

969
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: right now on popcorn and snacks. If you've kind of

970
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: been waiting to pick the right movie to take the

971
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: entire family to, I think this is one where the

972
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: price will be worth it. Your kids will remember this

973
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: movie and you, as an adult will also enjoy it.

974
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Because me, I had fun from beginning to end. It

975
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: was right or an hour and thirty six minutes from

976
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: the opening to the closing credits. So I do think

977
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: it is great all around. For z Utopia two, I

978
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: give it four out of five beavers. It's time to

979
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: head down to movie Mike Trey, Lar Paul, and it

980
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: is also time to go back to pan Am. The

981
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Hunger Game Sunrise on the Reaping takes place twenty four

982
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: years before the events of the first Hunger Games movie

983
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: that we saw with Jennifer Lawrence. During this movie, we

984
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: are going to get to know and see what happened

985
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: to a young hamage. This takes place at the fiftieth

986
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: Hunger Games, which is known as the Second Quarter Qull.

987
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: What makes this Hunger Games different is they have twice

988
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: the number of tributes, so it's forty eight tributes competing

989
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: in this Hunger Games. And what I love about this

990
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: franchise is it has the ability to renew itself because

991
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these have focused on different

992
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: points of the Hunger Games that are really impactful. Like

993
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: the first movie we saw with Jennifer Lawrence, that was

994
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: the seventy fourth. They followed up with the seventy fifth

995
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: Hunger Games. That was a big deal. When we went

996
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: back in the Ballot of Songbirds and Snakes, that was

997
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: the prequel. That movie focused on Cornelius Snow and why

998
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: he is the way that he is. Eventually became the

999
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: biggest villain that we had as him and Cat and

1000
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: has Everdeen went back and forth against each other. But

1001
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: that was focused on the tenth Hunger Games. This one

1002
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: is the fifthieth. You can really do every single year

1003
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: of the Hunger Games. Because how these movies work is

1004
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: Sudanne Collins, the author and creator of this series, writes

1005
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: a book, they turn it into a movie. She could

1006
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: focus on all these different time periods that are significant.

1007
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: I would like to go back to the very first

1008
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Hunger Games. What was that like? How did that impact

1009
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: all these citizens of all these different districts. So it

1010
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: has the ability to renew itself because you can get

1011
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: to a point where you don't have to focus on

1012
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: the same characters, even though I think the reason I

1013
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: am so excited about this one is because we start

1014
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: to see some connections with the characters that we know

1015
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: from those original movies. But what I love the most

1016
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: about this trailer is it looks so much different than

1017
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: everything we've seen before. It's brighter, it is more colorful.

1018
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: In this book, which I haven't read, which I read

1019
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: all the original series, that is one that I can

1020
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: say I read the books before seeing all those movies.

1021
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: But the way in the books the arena is described,

1022
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: It's called a poison paradise, And that's the vibe I

1023
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: get from this trailer. It reminded me of one of

1024
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: my favorite horror movies that I can't recommend anybody because

1025
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people hate this movie, but Midsummer it

1026
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: reminds me of Florence Pew's Crown of Flowers and that

1027
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: cult like vibe surrounding people. And I love that juxtaposition

1028
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: of you see this beautiful hillside, all this green grass

1029
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: and these bright and colorful flowers, but then you see

1030
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: these forty eight tributes who are all about to run

1031
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: into the middle to grab all these things to kill

1032
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: each other with. So I love seeing the contrast of

1033
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: a beautiful landscape with something so tragic and horrific happening.

1034
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: But what this movie is about, Like I said, it

1035
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: follows young Hamich Abernathy after he has chosen. Joseph Zada

1036
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: is playing Hamige. The movie also features Ray Fines, Whitney Peak, McKenna, Grace,

1037
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: Jesse Plemons. I was so excited to see Jesse Plemons

1038
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: in this trailer, Maya Hawk, Lily Taylor, ben Wan and Moore.

1039
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: It is directed by Francis Lawrence. Before I get into more,

1040
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Hunger Game sunrise

1041
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: on the Reaping trailer Welcome then in Reek of District twelve.

1042
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: Twice the number of tributes, twice the glory. It's time.

1043
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: For the second quarter. Quare's fidgeting in. This movie is

1044
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: directed by Francis Lawrence, who also did the Last Songbirds

1045
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: and Snakes. But not only that, he did every Hunger

1046
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: Games movie from Catching Fire to Mocking j Part two,

1047
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: so pretty much every Hunger Games movie except for the

1048
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: first one. Earlier this year. He also did the Stephen

1049
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: King adaptation The Long Walk, which is why I see

1050
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: a couple of actors from that movie also being featured

1051
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: in this, So Francis Lawrence is somebody who knows how

1052
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: to make these movies interesting and how to make them

1053
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: work because he has a great track record with all

1054
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: of these, which to me, there really isn't a bad

1055
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: Hunger Games movie. Do I wish they wouldn't have split

1056
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: mocking Jay into Part one and part two? Yes, but

1057
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: that is something that I will just scream from the

1058
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: hilltops until I lose my voice that I hate it

1059
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: when one story gets split into two movies. But aside

1060
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: from that, in that franchise, there is not a bad movie.

1061
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: The Ballad of Songbirds and Steaks is pretty forgettable, but

1062
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: still wasn't a bad movie. It really kicked up in

1063
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: the third act of that, but I just don't think

1064
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: for me the story was strong enough, and I just

1065
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: didn't think that Presidents Now was that interesting a character.

1066
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: I think my theory earlier that I was talking about

1067
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: of this being such a renewable franchise. It has this

1068
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: different color grading that makes it a little bit more cinematic.

1069
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: From the opening of the trailer that feels the most

1070
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: familiar at the reaping that to me looks the exact

1071
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: same way it has looked every time, but it's once

1072
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: you open it up to this world wherever the games

1073
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: actually take place, that I think you could make every

1074
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: single Hunger Games installment feel completely different and almost like

1075
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: it's in an entirely different genre. So that is why

1076
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: this franchise is exciting to me. And I love that

1077
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: this one looks nothing like The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,

1078
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: which really just looked like the previous films. So I

1079
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: think if this works and they can make something that

1080
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: feels different but also feels connected to the original movies,

1081
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: that could be great. Otherwise, you just have to make

1082
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: it completely separate and not connect it with any other

1083
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 1: characters that we know. And maybe even though these books

1084
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: came before it, but I kind of get Squid Game

1085
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: vibes even in some of the sound effects used in

1086
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: the trailer, where that show kind of has a similar

1087
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: concept of the Hunger Games people competing to win a

1088
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: big prize to be the one remaining victor. Maybe the

1089
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: way you go next level is take away that PG

1090
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: thirteen rating, even though I know they would never do this,

1091
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: and even in the books, it doesn't describe all of

1092
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 1: the blood and mayhem and great detail it's not really

1093
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: as focused on it depicting these things in such a

1094
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: disgusting and bloody way. That's really not the point and

1095
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: the overall story and the message of these movies. It's

1096
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: more about reminding you who is really the bad guy here,

1097
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: how the powers that be are always the ones watching,

1098
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: and those are the people who are always going to

1099
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: end up winning, and all the people who played the games.

1100
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: Whether you are crowned the victor at the end of

1101
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games, you are still a loser because they

1102
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: are just putting all these pieces where they want them

1103
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: and operating things in a way that the Capitol always wins.

1104
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,959
Speaker 1: But maybe with the success of Hunger Games and making

1105
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 1: something a little bit darker when it comes to how

1106
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: these games are played, maybe they drew some inspiration from that.

1107
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm only basing that a little bit on

1108
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: a sound effect that you hear in this trailer that

1109
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: kind of sounds like the Squid Game theme. I think

1110
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: the cast looks fantastic in this. Ben Wing I remember

1111
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: from The Long Walk. He is one of the tributes

1112
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: from District twelve. He was also in the Karate Kid movie.

1113
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Most recently. Jesse Plemons is a cameraman for the Hunger Games.

1114
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: Ray Fines plays President Snow in this movie, Karen Colkin

1115
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: plays Caesar Flickerman. El Fanning is Effie Trinkett, who is

1116
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 1: the stylist. El Fanning is just crushing it right now.

1117
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: We also have a couple of NEPO babies in the cast,

1118
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: with Iris Apatow who is Judd Apatow's daughter and Maya

1119
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: Hawk who is both Ethan Hawk and Uma Thurman's daughter.

1120
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: Maya Hawk is playing Virus. Iris Apatow is playing a

1121
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: character named Prospera Trinkett who is Effie's younger sister. We

1122
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: are also getting younger versions of BT and Mags in

1123
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 1: this movie, so we are seeing some of the characters

1124
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: that we get to see later in the original Hunger

1125
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: Games movies. And why I think this has potential to

1126
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: be great and give us one of the best post

1127
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: credit scenes of all time in the Hunger Games franchise

1128
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: is because in the book, there is an epilogue that

1129
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: takes place after the events of the original trilogy that

1130
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: ended the entire Hunger Games series, and it features Hamich

1131
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: who is reflecting on his past and his promise to

1132
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: Leonor Dove and This scene also includes Catnus Everdeen and

1133
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: Peter Malark, who were now his support system and the

1134
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: only thing that I'm kind of holding on to, which

1135
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: Josh Hutcherson is out right now doing press. For five

1136
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: Nights at Freddy's, he was asked about if he would

1137
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: ever return to the Hunger Games, and he said, in

1138
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, he walked away and was like, I'm not

1139
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: doing any more Hunger Games movies. Those movies elevated me

1140
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: to a level of fame that I didn't really want.

1141
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: It took away his privacy. So at that time, when

1142
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: he was done with Hunger Games, he would have said, no,

1143
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm going back to do a movie.

1144
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: And it also didn't really make sense now over a

1145
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: decade later, which is wild because they ended in twenty

1146
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty twenty five. This one's coming out in twenty six,

1147
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: so it'd be eleven years. He said he would be

1148
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: open to it, and I think him saying that is

1149
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: indication to me that maybe he I don't want to

1150
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: fully say that he's not in it because I've been

1151
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: tricked in the past, and I think if he were

1152
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: in it, he wouldn't have said as much as he did,

1153
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: but I'm holding on to hope that secretly him Woody

1154
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Harrelson and Jennifer Lawrence. This is only a rumor, but

1155
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: some people are saying maybe early next year, in twenty

1156
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: twenty six, they get a couple of days and they

1157
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: go film a scene for this. Again, this is totally

1158
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: just a rumor, but if you think about the director here,

1159
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: Francis Lawrence, who basically did every Hunger Games movie. He

1160
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: also did a movie with Jennifer Lawrence post Hunger Games

1161
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: called Red Sparrow. So they have a great working relationship.

1162
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: That is a big deal when it comes to trying

1163
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: to get your star to come back to a franchise,

1164
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: and it's more likely than she comes back to do this,

1165
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: and really it wouldn't take that long. It's not like

1166
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: they're asking her to come back and compete again and

1167
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: run the Gamut, go back to the Hunger Games because

1168
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: that story just doesn't exist yet. But to come back

1169
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: for this cameo, I think would be amazing. And aside

1170
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: from Josh talking about it in an interview, also at

1171
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: the end of this trailer, I'm pretty sure this is

1172
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: Woody Harrelson's voice saying this line, and I think these

1173
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: games are going to be different. He's in the trailer.

1174
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: They're queueing us up for it. Can you imagine the

1175
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: pop in the theater of seeing catness again on screen.

1176
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: That would be a great way to take in a

1177
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: November movie. That's all I'm saying. But again, Hunger Games

1178
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: Sunrise on the Reaping is coming out next year on

1179
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 1: November twentieth, and hopefully we see the return of Catnus Eberdeen.

1180
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: She's said that balls this week's edition of Movie Frame

1181
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: or Bar, and that is gonna do it for another

1182
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I

1183
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: got to give my listeners shout out of the week.

1184
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: This week, I'm going over to YouTube. You can follow

1185
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 1: me over there and subscribe YouTube dot com slash Mike Distro.

1186
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: Not only do I post my individual movie reviews there,

1187
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: but I also post all my interviews from the show.

1188
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: So if maybe you miss one you just want to

1189
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: go see me talk with the guests, you can go

1190
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: check out all the individual movie reviews, and every now

1191
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: and then an old interview will just pop off for

1192
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: some reason, so I always go back and make sure

1193
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 1: I check the comments on those. So this week's listener

1194
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: shout out actually comes from my interview that I did

1195
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: with the director of Weapons, Zach Kreiger, and this week's

1196
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 1: listener shout out goes to Daniel twenty three Underscore, who

1197
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: simply said, great interview. Man, Bless you. That's the best

1198
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: compliment you can give me, because I think if there's

1199
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: one thing that I'm the least comfortable with, it is interviews.

1200
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: Don't do a whole lot of them. I have to

1201
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: really love the project or be a fan of the person,

1202
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: and in that case, it checked both of those boxes

1203
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: because I loved Weapons, and I also think Zach Craigor

1204
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: is somebody that I would just hang out with and enjoy.

1205
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: So thank you, Daniel. It's comments like that they make

1206
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: me not quit doing this whole thing. So appreciate you

1207
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: for watching over there on YouTube. Appreciate you now wherever

1208
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: you are listening with earbuds in the car, at the gym,

1209
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: or you're like the person who emailed me the other

1210
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: day saying that they got forced to listen to this

1211
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: podcast with their partner. And I'm not sure if I

1212
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: should feel insulted by that. I don't want to be

1213
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: the podcast that you are forced to listen to, but

1214
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: still anyway you'll listen. It's all good to me, so

1215
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: thank you for being here. And until next time, go

1216
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: out and watch good movies and I will talk to

1217
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: you later
