You are out of your shoe, 36 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: which tell everybody what happened if they didn't listen to 37 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: last month's episode. 38 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: So I broke my left foot like broken ony metatarsels 39 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: making our bed. 40 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: I kicked the bedposts. The coolest injury. 41 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: Ever, coolest injury. Uh, I do that all the time. 42 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm very clumsy. And there's also not a lot of 43 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: space on the other side of our bed between the wall. 44 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: It's where we store everything. It is. 45 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just happened to kick it, and I 46 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: do that all the time, and I didn't think anything 47 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: of it, and then it turns out my foot was broken. 48 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: So I spent six weeks in a postop. 49 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: Shoe, not the boot, just the shoe. 50 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, the like really hard sold orthopedic shoe is literally 51 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: what it is. 52 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: And you got really used to just wearing one shoe. Yeah. 53 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: I went to Texas, like right after I broke it, 54 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: and I just packed the right shoe of every pair 55 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: of shoes. And then I went to New York on 56 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: my last week in the boot to see Taylor Swift, 57 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: and I did sixty thousand steps in the city over 58 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: three days in the shoe. 59 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: That's a lot impressive. 60 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, but we're no longer in the shoe. 61 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: We're healing, can't do anything high impact yet, but we're 62 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: we're going on walks again, getting outside. I have reasons 63 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: to leave the house other than to go spend money, 64 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: because going for a walk at the trail is about 65 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: the only free thing I leave the house for. So 66 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: when that was taken away, it was a dire month 67 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: for the credit card. 68 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: But it's good now that you are out of the boot. 69 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: Now we'll get into our best and worst of the month. 70 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: What is the best thing you watched in the last 71 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: thirty days. 72 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: I feel like you should go first, okay, because you 73 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: have what we would both pick, but we wanted to 74 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: give a variety of movies, so I'm gonna let you go. 75 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: My best is still Guardians three. I know I've talked 76 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: about it so much with the initial review, with the 77 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: spoiler review, but I still think about this movie at 78 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: least every other day. In the beginning, it was every 79 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: single day I was still thinking about this movie. But 80 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: now a month out from it, at least every other 81 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: day I think about it. 82 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: I think about baby Brocket raccoon. 83 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: That is what I was gonna say. I think we 84 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: say the quote hurts so many times now and I 85 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: cannot look at a raccoon any other way. After seeing 86 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: this movie, well, and. 87 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: I showed you a TikTok video earlier of these two 88 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: dogs that were in a shelter and they were separated 89 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: by a wall, and one like jumped over the wall 90 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: but with its friend, and it reminded me of Rocket 91 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: and his friends and like their little cages. 92 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: That movie just made me love animals more. 93 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: But also those two dogs were adopted together. 94 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: And you being just such a big animal lover even 95 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: before this movie, I feel like it just intensified your 96 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: feelings of wanting to rescue every single animal that you 97 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: see on the internet. 98 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I cry over every post of a dog that 99 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: needs fostering, adopting the countless amunt of gofundmes that I 100 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: have donated to do for people's pets. 101 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: You always just come to me sobbing, like we have 102 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: to donate to this dog. 103 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm donating this dog has cancer. 104 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: But the movie has I feel like held up. Sometimes 105 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: when Marvel movies come out and in that first week, 106 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm so hype about it, but then look back a 107 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: month later and think, oh, maybe I jumped agu in 108 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: a little bit too much. I e Thor, Love and Thunder. 109 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: I was gonna say Thor. We got a lot of 110 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: pushback for liking that one. 111 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: I was so hype on that one, and then a 112 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: month later it feels like that review didn't age will 113 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: even though I still enjoyed that movie. But I feel like, 114 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: unlike any other Marvel movie, this one is going to 115 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: not only be my favorite of the year, but also 116 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: one of my favorites of all time. So go over 117 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: to you, now, what was your best? If it can't 118 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: be Guardians. 119 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: People are gonna laugh me for this. It's gonna be 120 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: Fast and the Furious ten. It was so entertaining. I 121 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: spent what two hours and twenty minutes, like highly engaged 122 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: in it. It's dumb and it's action packed and like predictable, 123 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: but the Yeah and left me wanting more, and no 124 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: other Faster than The Furious movie has ever done that. 125 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: And you're not even the biggest fan of the franchise 126 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: at all, right. 127 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're fun to see. I don't 128 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: hate it like you can see them and not have known, 129 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: although I was like googling during the movie trying to 130 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: remember who's like related to who and who's been friends 131 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: and so if you don't have that background info. But 132 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Fast and the Furious. It was entertaining. 133 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: And I think the issue that people are having with 134 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: the Fast and the Furious movies is maybe you haven't 135 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: seen one since the original movies from the early two thousands, 136 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: and you think it's going to be just like that, 137 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: and unlike me and other fans of the franchise, you 138 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: haven't really evolved with it and seen it go from 139 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: being drag race to heist movies to now them basically 140 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: being superheroes and immune to everything. It's been a slow 141 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: transition throughout the entire franchise that if you've grown with it, 142 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: you can get to fast X and not think, oh, 143 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: this is completely different than what I remember. 144 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: Jason Momoa was a star. 145 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: Enlist loved him in it. 146 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: He was hilarious. He played such a good villain. So yeah, 147 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: that's mine. 148 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: But I also think that at the time this movie 149 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: came out, it was the biggest thing for like one week, 150 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: and now it's kind of dropped off, which all the 151 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: other movies have had a little bit more lifetime at 152 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the box office. But I think that was always like 153 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: their claim to fame. We still make a lot of 154 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: money at the box office. This one, I think it 155 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: underperformed just a little bit. So I'm questioning now how 156 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: they're going to move into the next chapter. And they 157 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: even thought about breaking this movie specifically up into three chapters. 158 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they have the momentum going into it 159 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: after this one, so I'm hoping that the next one 160 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: is just the last one. They go out on the 161 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: highest note possible and that's it. 162 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: And I get answers. That's what happened at the end 163 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: of the week. 164 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: We need I got a lot of questions. We need 165 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: ansos all right now, getting into my worst of the month. 166 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: It is a movie that came out on Netflix. It 167 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: is called The Mother with Jennifer Lopez. 168 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was terrible. 169 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: It was so like it started out with a lot 170 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: of promise. I like Jennifer Lopez, and she is a 171 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: really great actor. I like many people, first became a 172 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: fan of her when she played Selena back in the nineties. 173 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: But it's put out consistently good movies, good rom coms. 174 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: She has a rom com Queen I mean, Made in Manhattan, 175 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: The Wedding Planner. 176 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: And then she recently showed a little bit more of 177 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: her dramatic side in Hustlers. But this was her step 178 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: more into the action role. It kind of felt like 179 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: what Netflix did with extraction in Chris Hemsworth. So what 180 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: the movie is about. Jennifer Lopez plays a dangerous assassin 181 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: and she has her baby at the beginning of the movie, 182 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: but then can never see your baby again because all 183 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: these bad people want to kill Jennifer Lopez, so she 184 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: has to go into hiding and therefore to protect her daughter, 185 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: can never see her sounds like a decent enough premise, 186 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: but then the entire thing just gets really weird. Their 187 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: relationship is confusing, and the whole time you're thinking, like, 188 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: what is the point of this movie? And that is 189 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway of the Mother is what was the 190 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: point of that? There was nothing in the story that 191 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: developed that made me care about Jennifer Lopez's character. They 192 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: made me care about her daughter in the movie or 193 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: any of the action. It was just very pointless two 194 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: hours of nothing. 195 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: I gave up and read a book. 196 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: I think the only benefit of that movie, and sometimes 197 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Netflix putting out pretty subpar quality films, is that you 198 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: can just watch him at home, and if you really 199 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: want to, you can just turn it off. And there's 200 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: no harm done in you wasting your time to go 201 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: see the movie, spending money just to do that. You 202 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: just turn it off. So that is what I should 203 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: have done in that movie. Just turned it off. So 204 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: what is your worst of the month. 205 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: Oh, that's easy, it's Jennifer Lobez's husband. Yeah, then afflex Hypnotic. 206 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: Crazily enough, they came out on the same weekend. 207 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was not a good weekend for them movie wise. 208 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: So a married couple disappointed us both in the exact 209 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: same weekend. Twenty years after they disappointed us with Jeli, 210 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: which they both start in, and now they have a 211 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: couple of their other biggest bombs of their career. 212 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I won't say much more about Hypnotic because. 213 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: We did it. Yeah, we did a lot on that one. 214 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: So we did a whole like spoiler review because you 215 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: can't not spoil it. But yeah, it was it was bad. 216 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: I would still say out of those two, I much 217 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: less enjoyed the Mother, Oh absolutely. At least Hypnotic had 218 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of ambition, trying to do something different. 219 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: It had an idea. 220 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: The Mother was just nothing. So collectively, do we hate 221 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: the Mother the worst? We do? All right, now, I 222 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: want to get into the question I get a lot 223 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: is for people who don't go to the movies. They 224 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: want to know what you can watch at home. So 225 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: I have recommendations from each of the major streaming services 226 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: and the best movies you can watch on there right now. 227 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: In my opinion, given that I'm always going to recommend 228 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: the newest movies just because I'm a fan of the 229 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: things happening now, I don't want to recommend movies from 230 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: the twenty tens or two thousands that you've probably seen already. 231 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: I want to encourage you to check out some things 232 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: maybe you haven't seen yet, some new movies. I will 233 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: also be ranking all of the streaming services on this list. 234 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: So who I think has the best original movies and 235 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: who I think has the worst? So at number one 236 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: in my power rankings is Hulu. I think they have 237 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: the best original movies out of anybody. They've put out 238 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: movies that I feel just have more unique concepts, even 239 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: though they're not the ones with the biggest A List stars, 240 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: which I feel like that power goes to Netflix. I 241 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: just think in the last year and a half they 242 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: have put out movies that have really stuck with me. 243 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: And the first movie I would recommend on Hulu is 244 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: a movie called Not Okay. It's about this girl who 245 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: is so desperate to get followers on Instagram that she 246 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: fakes being in Paris during a bombing, puts all of 247 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: it on social media, and then tries to come back 248 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: and play the victim yeah, and then write about it, 249 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: get a job about it, allow it to boast her 250 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: professional career, but also just mainly get a bunch of 251 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: followers on Instagram. And it's all the things that happen 252 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: with her trying to fake that entire situation. So if 253 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: you like movies that make you feel kind of cringey 254 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: because of the characters, I think that is a great 255 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: one because I think that's a really tough emotion to 256 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: have while watching a movie, just that feeling, oh, why 257 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: are they doing this? Stop doing this? 258 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you hate the character and what they're 259 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: doing and you're just like, oh, this is not gonna 260 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: end well. 261 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: And it's really rare for me to like a movie 262 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: so much when I don't like the main character. When 263 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: the main character is not a good person. Yeah, she's 264 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: just not likable. So that is my go to recommendation 265 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: right now on Hulu. In that same vein, my runner 266 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: up would be a movie called I Love My Dad, 267 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: kind of the similar idea behind it. It's a dad 268 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: trying to Catfish's son, and that movie is probably even 269 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: more cringier than I'm Not Okay, it's just a different, 270 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: more comedic approach to it. But that is a movie 271 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: that by the end of it, you just not feel good. 272 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: And there are certain scenes in that movie that made 273 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: me feel really, really uncomfortable. So I would say unless 274 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: you like movies that the cringiness is turned up to attend. 275 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: Maybe not for you, but if you're like me and 276 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: like those kind of movies, it is a perfect watch. 277 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: So that's why I have Hulu at number one. At 278 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: number two, I have Amazon, and I think the reason 279 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: is because they have the biggest variety of movies, and 280 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: they also have a lot of movies that we saw 281 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: in theaters earlier this year already available there, so maybe 282 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: you've heard the review on the podcast and haven't had 283 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: a chance to see it yet. A lot of those 284 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: movies now are on Amazon, and I think that's because 285 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: they have, maybe next to Apple, having the most money 286 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: to throw around to licensing all these movies and having 287 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: them on their service, and that just really benefits their library. 288 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: So I think the best thing you can watch on 289 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: there right now is Creed three if you didn't see 290 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: that one in theaters, which I think maybe that's a 291 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: movie a lot of people missed, a movie I didn't 292 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: really feel like benefited a whole lot from seeing it 293 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: on a big screen. So definitely one that would have 294 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: a similar streaming experience. And then runner up to that, 295 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: if you still haven't seen Air yet, that is now 296 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: on Amazon. We've also talked about that movie a lot. 297 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Also on Amazon is Jackass Forever, The Las City, Ticket 298 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: to Faraday, Nope, Ambulance, and Smile. So they're just getting 299 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot of big movies that came out in the 300 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: last years. 301 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: Was really good. 302 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you like theater quality movies but don't 303 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: want to pay the theater price, I think Amazon is 304 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: the best streaming service to have, which we just kind 305 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: of have that because we have Amazon Prime. 306 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: Also, did you admit that you really liked to Ticket 307 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: to Paradise? 308 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, I did like it. George Clooney, Julia Roberts. 309 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: It's a match made in heaven. 310 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: It really is like the two of them together. I 311 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: want them to make movies together forever. 312 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: And that movie works so well in theaters that I 313 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: feel like if you just watch it on streaming, you 314 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: would love it, probably even more. At number three, I 315 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: have Max, which is formerly HBO Max. 316 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, are they like trying to be like Prince, 317 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: like the artist formerly known as Prince Now? 318 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: I just feel like if I just said Max, people 319 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: would no. 320 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: I know, But I'm just like, why did they even 321 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: change it? I guess because they merged. 322 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they merged, so they're trying to take away the 323 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: HBO brand and just be one big brand, but Max 324 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: just doesn't really feel like it means anything to me. 325 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: So I just still want to say HBO Max. 326 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: Too many apps. 327 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: They don't really have a good amount of original movies, 328 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: but since they are partnered with WB, they get all 329 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: the big WB movies. So the movie I would recommend 330 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: on there first if you haven't seen it, is The Menu, 331 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: which that was a movie that we saw in theaters, 332 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: but a lot more people have discovered as it's come 333 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: to streaming. So if you haven't seen that movie yet 334 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: and you like even for you you don't really like 335 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: horror movies, I. 336 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: Would describe it, you know, because it's The Menu. I 337 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: would describe it as deliciously twisted. 338 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: And it's more suspenseful. It's more of a thriller than 339 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: it is just a straight on horror movie. It just 340 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: has horror elements. 341 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: There were a couple parts where I was just like, 342 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: oh look, it was more like gore, Yeah, gore, So 343 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: I covered my eyes a couple times. 344 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: That is one of the best movies in the last 345 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: five years. So if you haven't seen that, check that 346 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: out on MAX. Runner Up for me on Max would 347 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: be The Bansheese of Indus Shearing, mainly because when I 348 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: first watched that movie, I thought it was good. I 349 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: didn't think it was oscar a Worthy good. But I 350 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: find myself thinking about that movie more and more and 351 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: also doing the impression quoted a lot. It has a 352 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: lot of great quotes, which is something you don't really 353 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: get in movies anymore, especially when it comes to comedies, 354 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: which I think of that movie as a comedy. Some 355 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: people said they've watched it and thought it was really 356 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: depressing and thought, how could you think of that as 357 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: a comedy. I think a lot of the elements and 358 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the writing is just so comedic, and 359 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: to me it kind of feels like a super Bad 360 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: but taking place in Ireland in a way, I feel 361 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: like that's a bit of a stretch. It's a bit 362 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: of a stretch, but that's how I felt after watching 363 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: that movie. It's just a really small story on a 364 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: big scale. So that is why I liked Banshees of 365 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: Intersharing At number four. I would have Netflix again. I 366 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: think that their original movies really haven't been quality lately. 367 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for Extraction too. 368 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: Their original shows, in my opinion, are a lot better, which. 369 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: Is weird because they started out as a DVD company. 370 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: But you could get TV shows on DVD. That's true 371 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: because my mom and I used to Netflix one disc 372 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: of er at a time. 373 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: I remember the getting the one disc of a show 374 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: at a time. 375 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: I think you could get up to three at a time, 376 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: but we would usually have like one movie for the family, 377 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: one disc of R and then something for like my 378 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: little brothers. 379 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: But I just feel like a platform called Netflix should 380 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: really have the best movies out of anybody, but they 381 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: really don't. And looking at what made my go to 382 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: recommendation on Netflix isn't an original. It is A Man 383 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: Called Auto, which is a movie that a lot more 384 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: people now, like all these other movies, are discovering no 385 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: good because it's on Netflix. And we saw that movie 386 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: in theaters and bawled our eyes out. 387 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: It's so so, so, so, so so good. 388 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: One of Tom Hanks's best movies. I love an older 389 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks. So if you haven't seen A Man Called 390 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: Auto yet, you need to check it out. Go do 391 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: yourself a favor and watch that movie. Runner up to 392 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: that would be another movie recently added that we also 393 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: saw on theaters. I don't think we ever reviewed it, 394 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: but it was Missing, and it is the eat I. 395 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: Had to think about that we see so many movies. 396 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: It was the sequel to Searching, which is a pretty 397 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: novel concept because the entire movie takes place over different 398 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: kinds of screens, whether it be a laptop, whether it 399 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: be a FaceTime called text messages. And I like those 400 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: type of movies. I like movies that spin what filmmaking 401 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: can be and how you can present a story. And 402 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: I feel like the novelty will probably wear off if 403 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: they make another addition in this series. I don't think 404 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: it's as good as the original one, so if you 405 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: haven't seen Searching, you don't have to watch that one 406 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: for this one. It makes sense, but it's it's the better. 407 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: It's the better. It's still good, and it's on Netflix. 408 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: So if you watch Missing, go back and watch Searching 409 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: and know that that one's even better than this one. 410 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: I feel like the action and story in this one 411 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: still has the same essence of the first one. It 412 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: gives you that same kind of feeling of excitement and 413 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: wanting to yell at the screen. I just feel like 414 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: it wasn't as well executed as the original one, but 415 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: still another good watch. At number five on my list 416 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: is Apple TV Plus, which I feel like when it 417 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: first came out, it was kind of the boutique of 418 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: streaming services having maybe one or two good shows. If 419 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been for Ted Lasso, probably really wouldn't 420 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: have been that big of a player. So I feel 421 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: like Apple TV Plus is the one I would invest 422 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: in now because they have more shows coming out, and 423 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: I hope they have more original movies coming out that 424 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: are actually worth it. But my go to recommendation on 425 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: that would be Chaschaw Real Smooth and runner up would 426 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: be the Greatest Beer Run Ever with Zach Efron. Again, 427 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: both of these movies I enjoyed the first time we 428 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: watched them, but I don't really find myself ever wanting 429 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: to revisit them. So I feel like Apple TV plus 430 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: is still waiting for their one real big hit. When 431 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: it comes to movies. 432 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: I'm surprised those were your two and that Cherry didn't 433 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: make it with Tom Holland. 434 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that movie was good, I just don't really remember 435 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: what happened in that movie, so it didn't really have 436 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: that big of an effect on me. But the thing 437 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: I love about Apple TV it has the best quality 438 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to the visual aspect. Yes, they look 439 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: so good. Unfortunately, their interface isn't really good and for 440 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: us it crashes a whole lot. Maybe it's because the 441 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: quality is so good that our TV can't handle it. 442 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if other people have the same experience. 443 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: Just crack your neck. Yeah we picked that up. Oh sorry, 444 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if other people have that same experience 445 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: with Apple TV Plus. But that is my biggest complaint 446 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: with it is the interface before it was max, but 447 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: I feel like when they changed now the interface is 448 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: a lot better, So I feel like that took care 449 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: of a lot of their glitches. But Apple TV Plus, 450 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: get your things together and make a better platform. At 451 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: number six, I'm going with Disney Plus. They really don't 452 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of original movies, and the ones 453 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: they do have are all reboots or remakes, so that's 454 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: why they ring so low on my list. So really, 455 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: what they have going for them is they have every 456 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: single Marvel movie, well at least most of them. If 457 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: you want to watch every single Marvel movie, I can't 458 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: say that they are all on Disney Plus just pretty 459 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: much everything in the MCU. So you have the Marvel movies, 460 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: you have Star Wars, and then you have all the 461 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: Disney classics. So I don't really go to Disney Plus 462 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: for new content when it comes to movies. They have 463 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of good shows, but when it comes to movies, 464 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: that's why they rank solo on my list. So might 465 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: go to recommendation on Disney Plus would be Avatar The 466 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: Way of Water. If you miss that one in theaters, 467 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: I would say, treat it like a TV show. It's 468 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: three hours long, so watch it in hour increments. Basically 469 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: every act is an hour, so spread it out and 470 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: I think you will enjoy that movie because I enjoyed 471 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: it so much in theaters. I think breaking it down 472 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: that way makes it feel more like a TV show, 473 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: which nobody has any issues when it comes to binging 474 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: a TV show, but you give them a three hour movie, 475 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, three hours. So now you 476 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: have it on Disney Plus, break it down, watch it 477 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: like a series. I think you will enjoy that movie. 478 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: Runner up would be any Marvel movie that you missed 479 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: in theaters. So they recently added the latest ant Man movie, 480 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: but if you miss Wakanda Forever, it's up there as well, 481 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: so I would recommend checking those out. And really that's 482 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: the main reason I use Disney Plus to go back 483 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: and watch all the MCU movies and warm my little 484 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: Marble Heart. And finally, at the bottom of my list 485 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: at least when it comes to the major streaming services 486 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: is Paramount Plus. So much so we don't even have 487 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: it anymore. We got rid of it because we never 488 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: used it. 489 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 2: No, but I did say they have a new show 490 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: coming out Swim, might I have to get it again. 491 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: But I did see they have some pretty good movies 492 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: over there. My go to recommendation there would be Dungeons 493 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: and Dragons, which we talked about. 494 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: Being shockingly enjoyable. Yeah, for people who've never played the game. 495 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: It was like a sleeper hit that we found ourselves 496 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: quoting more and more. Came out at a really busy time, 497 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: so I really didn't feel like it had that big 498 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: of an impact. But now that it's on Paramount Plus, 499 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: it is definitely worth a stream and a very underrated 500 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: movie of the Year. Runner up on my list would 501 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: be Bumblebee from twenty eighteen, mainly because I'm so I 502 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: don't know, oddly hype for all that is Transformers right now. 503 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: I'll get into my review of Rise of the Beast 504 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: here in a bit, but that is the movie that 505 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: made me like the Transformers franchise again because I think 506 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: Hailey Steinfield did such a great job. So if you 507 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: haven't seen that one, it really is the best one 508 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: since the originals with Megan Fox and Shia above. So 509 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: those are my recommendations of movies you can see at home. 510 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: Let me know which one you decide to watch. And 511 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: it closed out this segment we always give our honorable 512 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: mentioned TV show Kelsey. You can go first. 513 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: I have two. First, I'm gonna go season seven of 514 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: Queer Eye on Netflix. 515 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about that show. 516 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 2: There were only seven season episodes this season, which I'm 517 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: very sad about, so we like watched them sparingly, but 518 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: it was really good. I think it's some of my 519 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: favorite episodes ever in this season. 520 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: I would definitely agree. 521 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: And then my other pick, which I would rank one above, 522 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 2: I would rink Queer Eye too, and I would rank 523 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 2: A Small Light, which was a not geo show, and 524 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 2: I think you can watch it on either Disney Plus 525 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: or Hulu. 526 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: I've seen it both places. Yeah, yeah, incredible. 527 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 2: It's the story of Meep Geeze, who is the Dutch 528 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: woman that helped tide the Frank family during the Holocaust, 529 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: And it was phenomenal, like just the storytelling, the acting, 530 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: the casting, one of the best depictions I've seen. And everyone, 531 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 2: not everyone but Jean Main Now I love like World 532 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: War two. 533 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: It is your favorite subject. 534 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: Yes, in books and movies, not just like my favorite subjects, 535 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna bring it up at a party. Yeah. 536 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: That's another thing about this show that we've mentioned before. 537 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: It's weird to say it's so good because of the 538 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: subject matter, but it. 539 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: Was well done in telling the subject matter. 540 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: It's so Yeah, it's so dark and the things that 541 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: happened during that war are so awful, but yes, they 542 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: handled it and told the story really well. And also 543 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: just great production quality on this series that it had 544 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: a cinematic feel to it the entire time. It feels 545 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: like they spent a lot of time and probably a 546 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: lot of money making this show look so good. My 547 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: favorite show that I watched this month was Barry. I 548 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: think had one of the most satisfying finales of TV 549 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: in the last ten years, and it's one that I 550 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: feel has gone a little bit under the radar because 551 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: compared to other HBO shows, it maybe hasn't been the 552 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: biggest hit. I feel like everybody's been talking about Succession 553 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: and that finale we've never watched such I have no 554 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: interest in watching Succession looks like a snoozefest to me, 555 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: and everybody just says there's so much dialogue in it, 556 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: but it's so good, and with the amount of seasons 557 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: that are out with that show, I feel like it's 558 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: too much an investment for me to really get into 559 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: wanting to watch it. 560 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: I've read to many spoilers at this point. 561 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: That that's another thing too. I already know kind of 562 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: what happens in it just by reading spoilers. I think 563 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: The New York Times spoiled one of the biggest plot 564 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 1: points out of that show. And I've had a thing 565 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: recently where it's really hard for me to focus on 566 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: a TV show unless we're watching it together. I can't 567 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: start a show and want to finish it. I just 568 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: start a bunch of random things and then go back 569 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: and finish it. And I know I'm biased because I 570 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: love movies so much more. But I just feel like 571 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: movies are so much better right now. I feel like 572 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: television has kind of reverted. I think in the twenty 573 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: tens it was maybe the golden age of television, but 574 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: I feel like streaming services are struggling to put out 575 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: new shows, and a lot of things that get recommended 576 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: to us are always dramas, and I'm kind of tired 577 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: of dramas. And I think that's what's different about movies 578 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: and TV right now is almost every time somebody recommends 579 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: something to you that's so good, it's always this straight 580 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: on drama about murder. 581 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: I love a drama still. 582 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: I think when it comes to movies, there's just so 583 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: much more variety. You can watch things that are bigger, 584 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: larger than life. You can watch things that are animated. 585 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: So A's the guy who's seen like a thousand superhero movies. 586 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, even inside the superhero genre. I feel like 587 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: there's more variety than there's been in TV shows. Yes, 588 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna back to you. Yes, Yes, anyway, that has 589 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: been our best and worst of the month. Anything else 590 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: you want to say, Kelsey before you go. 591 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: We just celebrated our to year wedding anniversary we did. 592 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: That was pretty cool. 593 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like, even more so than our wedding anniversary, 594 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: it's just weird for me to look back and think 595 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: of a life without you. 596 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have been together five years now. 597 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: I guess I don't look at it in that we've 598 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: been married two years. It's more important to me of 599 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: how long we've been together. 600 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it feels like it was just yesterday. 601 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 2: It's more just like I can remember everything about our 602 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: wedding day and I'm like, wow, that's already been two years. 603 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 2: Time is flying. 604 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a fun part of it is 605 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: to think back on our wedding, everything that went right, 606 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: everything that went wrong, and all of those memories. But 607 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: I think when I think of our relationship collectively, I 608 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: like to look back on everything. 609 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 3: Well. 610 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: That also, like our anniversaries are really close to each other, 611 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: from like when we celebrated our five year and then 612 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: like a month later, so it's all kind of like 613 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: the same time period. 614 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. But anyway, happy anniversary again. Have you anniversary to you, 615 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: and we'll come back and we'll talk about Transformers Rise 616 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: of the Beasts after this. Ifout to get into a 617 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: spoiler free movie review of Transformers Rise of the Beast. 618 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: But before we get into what this movie is, which 619 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: it serves as kind of a prequel to the two 620 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: thousand and seven movies but a sequel to Bumblebee from 621 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen with Hailey Steinfeld. Before we get into talking 622 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: about this movie, I want to tell you about my 623 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: relationship with the Transformers movies. Going back to the year 624 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: of two thousand and seven, sixteen year old me, who 625 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: is highly impressionable. Living in the greatest year of movies, 626 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: sixteen year old me was exposed to movies like Juno, 627 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: No Country for Old Men, super Bad, There Will Be Blood, 628 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: There's a tmn T movie, there was I Am Legend, 629 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: Shrek the Third, the Simpsons movie Knocked Up All came 630 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: out in two thousand and seven, and one of the 631 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: most impactful movies to me of that year was also Transformers. 632 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: I am the biggest fan of the summer blockbuster and 633 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: nobody did it better that summer than Transformers, the original 634 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: one from two thousand and seven, directed by Michael Bays 635 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: starring Shila Abuff starring Megan Fox, and I didn't realize 636 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: it at the time, but how impactful those special effects 637 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: were in that movie. We had not seen it executed 638 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: like it was in that movie. Of creating these special 639 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: effects on these hard surfaces, it didn't look cheesy by 640 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: any means. And because of that technology, it went on 641 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: to inspire other filmmakers, particularly Marvel, who was also developing 642 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: their entire universe, and now that they knew that these 643 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: special effects could work and could look good on screen, 644 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: it opened up the door for Iron Man to really 645 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: utilize that technology. But aside from that, Transformers at that 646 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: time just meant a lot to me. All the excitement, 647 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: all the fun, all the action, all the visuals. It 648 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: just embodies everything to me of what makes a summer 649 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: movie worth it. And I stand by the original trilogy 650 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: of the first three movies, all with Shila Abuff. I 651 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: still enjoy all of them. I think for the most part, 652 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: people like the first one and then they don't really 653 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: like the rest of them. So I see everybody saying 654 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: that Rise of the Beast is the best one since 655 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: the original. I think it did capture what made that 656 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: movie great, and it has some of those same elements, 657 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: but I've been in it. The only ones I think 658 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: are actually bad Transformers movies are four and five with 659 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg. Number five being one of the worst movies 660 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in theater, So those are the only 661 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: two I would consider bad. But we had a really 662 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: good breath of fresh air in twenty eighteen with Bumblebee 663 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: with Hailey Steinfeld, and I think Rise of the Beast 664 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: is using the same tactics from that playbook to make 665 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: the movies as exciting as it was back in the 666 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: two thousands. So let's talk about Rise of the Beast 667 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: now it is based on Beast Wars. When it comes 668 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: to the Transformers, I'm really just a fan of the movies. 669 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: It was a lot more popular in the eighties, which 670 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: is right before me growing up in the nineties, so 671 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't a big fan of the cartoon or even 672 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: had any of the toys back in the day. I 673 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: am all about the movies. I didn't really watch all 674 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: the TV shows either, so I know a lot of 675 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: people really love Beast Soars when it comes to the 676 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: toys and the storyline in the TV show, but I 677 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: am just looking at it based on what I've seen 678 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: from the movie. So this was really me getting to 679 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: know about Optimist Primal, who is the Beast version of 680 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: Optimist Prime, and you learn that from the opening scene 681 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: of this movie. So the movie takes place in nineteen 682 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: ninety four. You have Optimist Prime, the leader of the autobots. 683 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: You have the Maximals, which are all the animals that 684 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: you see in the trailer, who are essentially the animal 685 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: versions of all the autobots, and then you have the 686 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: terra Cons, who are the bad guys in this movie. 687 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: On the human side, you have Anthony Ramos who plays Noah, 688 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: who is an ex military electronics expert. He has a 689 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: younger brother who has a lot of health issues. He 690 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: has sickle cell anemia and he is struggling to find 691 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: work in order to cover his brother's medical bills. Also 692 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: on the human side, Dominique Fishback, who plays Elena. I 693 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: am more familiar with her work in the Amazon shows Swarm, 694 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: which I thought she did a really great job in, 695 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 1: so I was excited to see her now quickly hopping 696 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: over into the big screen. And though I do think 697 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: it is the human element that grounds these movies, what 698 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: really surprised me was all the voice acting in this movie. 699 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: I think it far exceeds the actual humans acting in 700 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: this movie to the point that I felt more emotional 701 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: for the autobots and the Maximals in this movie then 702 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: I did the human element. I think Kelsey probably clung 703 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: more to the human element, But for me, I was 704 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: all about the voice acting and the special effects in 705 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: this movie. And I think what they're getting right now 706 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: when they did it with Bumblebee and they did it 707 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: again here is there's actually some character development. It's a 708 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: bit of a bold approach to spend so much time 709 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: on new characters when really we just want to see 710 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Transformers action, a lot of fighting. They 711 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: get to that, but they also really getting to know 712 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: Noah and Elana's character early on in this movie, and 713 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: that really helped making things more impactful later in the 714 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: second and especially in the third act. But I would 715 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: say on the voice acting side, my favorite is still 716 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: Peter Colin as Optimist Prime. Hearing his voice in a 717 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: full movie theater in June just feels right. That feels 718 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: like summer to me, that feels like what I go 719 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: to the movies for. Hearing the rumble of his deep 720 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: voice as Optimist Prime, as the leader of the autobots 721 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: is what I crave in a Transformers movie. And the 722 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: thing that surprised me that I thought was just the 723 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: lazy casting tactic to get people interested in this movie. 724 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: But it was Pete Davidson as Mirage, who you first 725 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: see him disguised as a Porsche and then fully shows 726 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: all of the cool things he can do with making 727 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: these mirages, and I thought he was just gonna give 728 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: a really phoned in performance and he was just like, ah, 729 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: I'll do a transform was movie on a Tuesday, and 730 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: that's the Pete Davidson we were gonna get. But I 731 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: felt like a lot of his huge shine through and 732 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: even had me believing that maybe he wrote his own 733 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: lines or through his own ad libs in there. That 734 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: showed a lot of his personality. And it's not that 735 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't like him as a person, don't like him 736 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: as an actor. I think he is hilarious. I've maybe 737 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: just had a lot of him in my newsfeed lately 738 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: that I was just thinking that, Nah, Pete Davidson isn't 739 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: really going to show up in this movie. He did, 740 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: so seeing him as this new character Mirage was my 741 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: second favorite part next to Optimist Prime, because you're not 742 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna take that slot for me. I think the reason 743 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: I have such an attachment to Optimist Prime is because 744 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: I just love him as a leader, and when he 745 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: is in disguise as the eighteen wheeler, it reminds me 746 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: of the truck my dad had as his very first 747 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: eighteen wheeler. My dad has been a truck driver for 748 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: I guess over thirty years, because if I'm thirty one 749 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: about to be thirty two, he was truck driving way 750 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: before I was born, so he has been probably thirty 751 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: five close to forty years on the roads. And the 752 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: very first truck he had, I only remember it from 753 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: old pictures, but it looks exactly like Optimist Prime. It 754 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: was red with the splash of blue, and every time 755 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: I see it on screen, I think, Man, if only 756 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: my dad was into movies. My dad does not watch 757 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: any movie whatsoever unless it's an old eighties action movie 758 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: that he doesn't really have to pay a whole lot 759 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: of attention to. But I was just watching this movie thinking, man, 760 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: my dad was into Transformers movies, he would love Optimist Prime. 761 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: So what this movie ends up being about is the 762 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: Maximals have beef with the terra Cons and they are 763 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: trying to gain back this key that can open up 764 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: this portal, the Maximals took it with them to Earth, 765 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: hit it there, and then themselves hid up until the 766 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: point that it has been discovered, and that is where 767 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: Elena's character comes in, because the artifact gets shipped to 768 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: her museum and that's when everything hits the fan. The 769 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: terra cons realize where it is, so they come to Earth, 770 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: the autobots come out, and they all have to come 771 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: together because if the bad guys get it, things are 772 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: gonna be bad. And if the autobots can get their 773 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: hands on it, they can find a way to go 774 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: back home, which is usually the theme in the Transformers movies. 775 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: The Transformers are hiding until there's an opening for them 776 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: to go home, and there's always some crazy artifact that 777 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: they have to get their hands on. So, like I said, 778 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: I was oddly hyped for this movie, and maybe those 779 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: high expectations had me wanting just a little bit more 780 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: from the plot, even though I was entertained for the 781 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: entire two hours. To me, they flew by, although when 782 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: it was over I was ready for it to be over. 783 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: And usually when it comes to Transformers movies, I just 784 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: want a little bit more. This one, the runtime pretty 785 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: right on I don't go into Transformers movies wanting a 786 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: plus acting. I just needed decent acting at best, and 787 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: Anthony's almost as Noah, it was all right. I wasn't 788 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: really a fan of him and in the Heights, so 789 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to give him a chance in this movie. 790 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: But you can tell that it is probably hard to 791 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: act to nobody. He is in a scene where it's 792 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: all autobots around him, and I very much notice how 793 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: hard that is for him because I don't really feel 794 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: his emotions. It just sounds like he is reciting lines 795 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: at points. I didn't really feel an emotional connection to 796 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: his character, even with what was going on with his brother. 797 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 1: I didn't really get that much of depth to him. 798 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: Although I will say the fact that this movie was 799 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: shot on a lot of real locations really added some 800 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: depths to a movie that could quickly get into just 801 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: special effects world and look like it was entirely shot 802 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: in a warehouse on a green screen. I enjoyed the 803 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: fact that they actually went out to locations in Manchu Picchu, Montreal. 804 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: They did some shooting in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, and 805 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: that adds a lot of real world depth to this 806 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: movie and makes it a lot more enjoyable to watch 807 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: when it feels like it is a living and breathing 808 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: movie and not just a bunch of CGI. Another thing 809 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: I paid very close attention to was the fact that 810 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: this movie is set in nineteen ninety four, And one 811 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 1: of my pet peeves is when a movie is set 812 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: in a year and they use songs on the soundtrack 813 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: that haven't come out yet. So you best believe that 814 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: I was looking if Waterfalls by TLC actually came out 815 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four, if Cream by Wu Tang actually 816 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: came out in nineteen ninety four, And luckily, all the 817 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 1: songs I fact checked were actually out by the time 818 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: that this movie was placed, so they didn't let me 819 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: down there. So I would say, if you like a 820 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: big action movie, and I won't even say if you 821 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,280 Speaker 1: like a big dumb action movie, that is the Fast 822 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: and the Furious franchise. The Transformers movies are a step 823 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: above that because you can turn your brain off a 824 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: little bit and enjoy this movie. There's not a whole 825 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 1: lot of layers to it. There's not a whole lot 826 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: of big plot points that they're trying to really drive home. 827 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: And although they're not trying to push the envelope and 828 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: really change cinema with this movie. It is just providing 829 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: a very big, fun adventure for you, your friends, your 830 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: family to go on. So if you were a fan 831 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: of the original Transformers movies, I think you're really gonna 832 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: enjoy this one, because I sure did. And if you 833 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: haven't seen bumble Bee from twenty eighteen because you were 834 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: burned by Transformers four and five, you don't have to 835 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: watch that one to enjoy this movie. You really don't 836 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: have to see any other Transformers movie to go into 837 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: this one and enjoy it. But if you watch bumble 838 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 1: Bee on Paramount Plus and enjoy it, I think you'll 839 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: have those same feelings for Transformers Rise of the Beasts. 840 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: So what I give this movie? I guess just because 841 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: I had the overhyping going into it, I probably would 842 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: have rated it higher if I had very low expectations. 843 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: But it's a franchise I love. It's a franchise I 844 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: have history with. So for Transformers Rise of the Beasts, 845 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: I give it four. Ah, I give it almost went 846 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: a little too hard there. Transformers Rides of the Beasts, 847 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: I give it four out of five autobots. It's time 848 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: to head down to movie. Mike Traylar par It's My 849 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: Bird in a Box. Netflix is coming back with a 850 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: new bird Box movie, but instead of a straight on 851 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: sequel from the twenty eighteen version with Sandra Bullock, we 852 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: are getting a type of spinoff of bird Box and 853 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: I don't like it. And in a world where I 854 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: just think there are too many sequels, too many reboots, 855 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: this is a movie I just wanted to see the 856 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: continuation of a story. It didn't come out that long ago. 857 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen is only five years ago. I think it's 858 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: time for another installment to find out what happened after 859 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Sandra Bullock's character ended up where she did in the 860 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: original movie. But instead what we're getting is bird Box Barcelona, 861 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: which is coming out on Netflix on July fourteenth. It 862 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: is a spinoff that expands the story, and you have 863 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: a father and his daughter trying to escape these demons 864 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: in Barcelona. So essentially this movie series is expanding on 865 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: the world of bird Box and exploring what is going 866 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: on in the rest of the world following similar events 867 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: that happened in the original movie. A lot of problems 868 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: I see from this trailer. Overall, it just doesn't look 869 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: very good. This looks like a movie that would have 870 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: come out on DVD back in the two thousands and 871 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: ended up in the dollar bin. And I think the 872 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen version was so captivating because of the concept 873 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: at the time. If you see the monster, you die. 874 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: It was a great premise, well executed, well directed, and 875 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: also had a really great cast. So before I get 876 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: into more of my thoughts about bird Box Barcelona, here's 877 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: just a little bit of the trailer. Those things they 878 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: take our fears and they twist them thousands of cases 879 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: in stray. I would commend that man at a Barcelos 880 00:40:49,320 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: Pertal contact with Isual Conesto said, these creatures are changing. 881 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 1: So I like what this movie is trying to do. 882 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: It's trying to create this world where this one pandemic 883 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: is affecting every single country and exploring how different people 884 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: are reacting and the different variations of these demons. So 885 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit ambitious because instead of 886 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: just making a direct sequel, you are trying to expand 887 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: the world and create this type of anthology, which I 888 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: think is an ambitious idea. But looking at this trailer, 889 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's going to be well executed, 890 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: and there have been other movie series that have done 891 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: this pretty well. The first one that comes to mind 892 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 1: for me is Cloverfield, which the first one was pretty 893 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: groundbreaking at the time, really making in on the lost 894 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: footage of having a comeback moment in the two thousands, 895 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: and then ten Cloverfield Lane was a completely different movie 896 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: than Cloverfield, but still existing in that same world. It 897 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: was far after the events in that movie and exploring 898 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: a different character having a complete different experience with the 899 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: same monsters. And I actually enjoyed that movie with John Goodman. 900 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 1: Even though it wasn't the most novel concept, that movie 901 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: worked on a lot of levels for me, and it 902 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: worked underneath the Cloverfield brand. Netflix then made a part 903 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: three called Cloverfield Paradox, which was alright, not as good, 904 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: but it didn't have that same feeling because they took 905 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: the story into space. It just felt a little bit 906 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: more sci fi and less of what the essence of 907 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: Cloverfield was. And I kind of feel like that is 908 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: what they are trying to do with bird Box. Take 909 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: this brand that they created with the first one and 910 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: just use that name to make all these other post 911 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: apocalyptic stories. But after watching this trailer, it doesn't have 912 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: any of the essence that made that first movie great. 913 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,760 Speaker 1: There's nothing really connecting it to that world. You gotta 914 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: have somebody from that original movie, and to me, it 915 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: feels like they couldn't afford to get Sandra Bullock or 916 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: she didn't want to do a sequel, so they're just 917 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: trying to make these elseworld movies to try and tie 918 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,720 Speaker 1: in with Birdbox, even though it's a completely different concept. 919 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: Because you don't have the same director here. It's only 920 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: from the same producers of bird Box, which doesn't really 921 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: mean a whole lot to me just because you have 922 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: the same producers. I just feel like that's a cheap 923 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: marketing tactic to make it feel like it's coming from 924 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: the same people that created the first one. So bird 925 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: Box Barcelona is the first of a series of movies 926 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: that Netflix is planning inside of this bird Box universe. 927 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: But I'm worried after watching this trailer that nobody's going 928 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: to care after this one. The visual effects look really cheap, 929 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: look like the entire production took a really big downgrade. 930 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: And in a world of TV shows like The Last 931 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: of Us that have really just dominated what a post 932 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: apocalyptic story is supposed to look and feel like. You 933 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 1: have to step it up with your visuals. You have 934 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 1: to step it up with your storytelling. And after watching 935 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: this trailer, I don't have any sense of the mystery 936 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: of what bird Box Barcelona is going to be. It 937 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 1: doesn't evoke any kind of emotion to make me think, huh, 938 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: I wonder what that's about. I wonder what they're hinting at. 939 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: I wonder what the twist in this movie is going 940 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,320 Speaker 1: to be, or how these demons are going to be 941 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: different than the ones we saw in the twenty eighteen version. 942 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: I was just looking for that hook to make me 943 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: want to start sniffing around and find more of this story. 944 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 1: But nothing about this trailer has any kind of originality 945 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: when it comes to the sci fi horror genre, and 946 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: that is one of my favorite genres if you can 947 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: do it well. And I would hate to k not 948 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 1: get for not having any star power. I don't think 949 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: a movie needs a big A list star to be successful. 950 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes I often think that could be the kiss of 951 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: death for certain franchises, just baking on your A list 952 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: star to bring eyeballs to the screen. You know that 953 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: eats up a lot of your money and in a 954 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: smaller budget movie like this, I don't always think that 955 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: is the great way to go, but when the original 956 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: movie had one of the best actors of our lifetime, 957 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 1: Sandra Bullock, and this one has nobody recognizable, but I 958 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: just feel like this should have had the return of 959 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: Sandy B in bird Box two and then after that sequel. 960 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: That's when you start expanding the world. Bird Box Barcelona, 961 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: bird Box Canada, Birdbox Mexico, bird Box Australia. I would 962 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: have watched them all, but give me Sandy be first 963 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: aid that B was this week's edition of Movie Live 964 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 1: tramor par and that's gonna do it for another week 965 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 1: here on the podcast.

We're about the 976 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: same age, so it was funny to hear which movies 977 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: hit you the hardest. Leelan and Stitch is another one 978 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: that is so different and sad when you watch as 979 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: an adult. Mostly agreed with your review of The New 980 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: Little Mermaid Flounder was just a hoof, but I actually 981 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: liked the connection between Eric and Ariel when they went 982 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: to the market and seem much more like real life. 983 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: I am also skeptical of the remakes, but this is 984 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: one I definitely enjoyed. So thanks Kara for sharing your 985 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on that episode.
