As 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: Horror Movie Month continues here on the podcast, we're going 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: full in this week.

Plus something I am very 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: annoyed and that is affecting my personal life that has 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: to do with movies. We'll talk about that in that 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: final segment as well. Thanks to everybody for being subscribed 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: and listening to the podcast. Shout out to the Monday 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. Let's talk movies in a world where 22 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: everyone and their mother has a podcast. One man stands 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking au MTV with classes from 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: the Nashville Podcast Network Movie mis Movie Podcast. What horror 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: movie villain do you think you could actually beat up 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: in a fight? That is the question today. Why this 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: topic came to my head is while watching Halloween Ends, 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: which I reviewed last week, and I told you without 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: spoiling it, that Michael Myers isn't really a threat in 32 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: that movie. He's older, he's slower. It takes place four 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: years after the last time we saw him, and he 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: is really nonexistent in that movie. And I realized that, 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: man if I had to go head to head with 36 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: this version of Michael Myers, I think I could take 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: him on. Probably not the original Michael Myers from the 38 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: first Halloween's he's a pretty big guy. I think they 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: have him listed at six ft eight, very strong and muscular. 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: But I think now the aging Michael Myers, I could 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: not only probably outsmart him, but I could definitely go 42 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: head to head with him in a fight at this 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: point in his life. So it had me thinking what 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: other horror movie villains could I take on in a fight, 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: And I'll give you my qualifications, will lay at the 46 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: ground rules, so my way in here. I'm about five 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: ft eight, about a hundred and seventy pounds. I don't 48 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: really weigh myself anymore. I used to be pushing two 49 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five two d and ninety pounds before 50 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: I lost all my weight, but now I'm in that 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: that one seventy range. But I don't weigh myself because 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: it freaks me out and message with my head too much. 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm pretty athletic, I have really good stamina. I must 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: have a pretty good high pain tolerance when it comes 55 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: to absorbing bunches. My brother and I one of our 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: favorite activities was just seeing how hard of a hit 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: each other could take in the arm. So from that, 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good at absorbing some blows to my body. 59 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: And then I think, when provoked, I can go off. 60 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: There's something in my brain that will switch off, and 61 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: if I have to go into defense mode, especially in 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: a horror movie situation, I think that crazy side of 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: me would come out and I could be pretty scrappy 64 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: in a fight, even though I've never really been in 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: a full on fist fight in my adult life. But 66 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: the ground rules we have going into this is no guns. 67 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: Just no guns. There's that's an unfair fight. Nobody in 68 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: this situation has a gun. That's kind of an easy 69 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: way out when you watch a horror movie and never 70 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: have guns, because that would be the easy thing. You 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: just shoot them and that's it, except probably from Michael Myers, 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Casey still comes back from that. And then also, no 73 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: home field advantage. You don't get to pick the scenario 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: you get dropped in. It's just a random location. And 75 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: nobody has their signature weapon. Michael Myers doesn't have a knife, 76 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: nobody has the things they usually use to take out 77 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: their victims. That is the ground rules here. So the 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: first horror movie villain I know for a fact that 79 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: I can take out you and take him out too, 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: is Chucky from Child's Play. And I know when we 81 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: watch horror movies you have to suspend your expectations, suspend 82 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: what normal life is because in any normal situation, a 83 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: two ft four doll isn't really going to be a threat. 84 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: But it's the fact that he is unassuming that he 85 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: can wheel the knife he is psychotic and it's just 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: creepy to see a doll come to life. But in 87 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: a normal situation, if I get taken out by a 88 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: doll wearing oshkosh bagosh overalls, I could not live with myself. 89 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: I cannot go on to and afterlife with that situation, like, hey, 90 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: how'd you go out? Well, this little doll who I 91 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: probably could have just thrown in the corner and not 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: thought about it, and you know, he took me out. 93 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: Chucky does have some strengths. Even though he is small. 94 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: That means he is harder to hit. If he runs around, 95 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: you may have a little bit of a hard time 96 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: kind of getting your hands on him. But after that, 97 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: he is small, he is easy to pick up and 98 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: just throw. I would probably try to find just something 99 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: to put on top of him, and that would kind 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: of be end game. He's not really breaking out of 101 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: anything in that situation. And as big as weakness is 102 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: that he's made of plastic. He's just this molten plastic things. 103 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: So you get any kind of flame, you really get 104 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: any kind of surface, and just scrape his face a 105 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: little bit until it totally goes away. You could take 106 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: on Chucky in a fight and along with Chucky. I'm 107 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: gonna put Annabelle in this category. I'm gonna put the 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: puppet Master, I'm gonna put the Boy. All of these 109 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: doll like creatures can be taken out by putting them 110 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: in a box, locking it up, and throwing it into 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: the ocean. That doesn't mean they're individual. Movies aren't entertaining, 112 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: but in a real life situation, those are the first 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: to go up. Next, I'm gonna say ghost Face from Scream, 114 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: and that is because ghost Face is just a normal dude, 115 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: sometimes plural dudes, and usually just teenagers. And in a 116 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: situation where we are put into a fight and they 117 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: don't have their knife, it's just a straight on fight. 118 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: You is fighting a normal person here. It's just the 119 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: dude and a ghost Face mask. And they also have 120 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: a long gown that is not the best thing to 121 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: fight in. You step on that thing and they have 122 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: nowhere to go. So really, anybody with any kind of 123 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: fighting experience could hold their own against ghost Face. It's 124 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: just a guy behind a mask and all you even 125 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: if they had the blade, if they were able to 126 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: find anything. I think in these situations you can use 127 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: the things around you, even if they found a knife. 128 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: All you have to do is avoid the knife. Their 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: biggest strength is the spooky mask that creeps you out, 130 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: and they can hack in I guess to phone systems 131 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: and security systems and they stock you. Other than that, 132 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: their weaknesses that they are obsessed with Sidney Prescott. But 133 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: that biggest defeat is still that ridiculous robe. So you 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: step on that, you push them down, and then you 135 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 1: take out ghost Face. So I think we could all 136 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: probably at least hold our own against ghost Face and 137 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: avoid being killed in a screen movie. Next up from 138 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the Saw movies, I have John Kramer, who is the 139 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: guy who tortures everybody in the Saw movies. He doesn't 140 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: really kill anybody himself. He puts you in the situation 141 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: that if you can escape, you are afraid to live. 142 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: If you can't, well you die. And the reason you 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: get into the situation is that at some point in 144 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: your life he noticed that you didn't value the life 145 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you had. It's this whole total mind game thing. There 146 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a moral dilemma here with 147 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: John Kramer being one that I could take on in 148 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: a fight. That we can all take on in a fight, 149 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: is that he is elderly. He is also terminally ill. 150 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: So it's this moral battle of even though he is 151 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: doing really heinous things to people, putting them in the situations, 152 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: tormenting them and killing them, he himself is struggling. He 153 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: himself is in pain, and he is going to die eventually. 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: So I would not fight this guy. I think he 155 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: is merely a person that you could sit down with 156 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: and have a conversation. So that is how I would 157 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: defeat the bad guy from Saw. Let's just this thing out, 158 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: and I think by the end of this conversation will 159 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: both leave a little bit enlightened and maybe we could 160 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: even be friends out of this. You don't need to 161 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: kill me. I don't need to kill you, and I'll 162 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: forgive you for all the people who you would put 163 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: into these ridiculous, crazy, elaborate traps. His strength here is 164 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: we already know that he has a very devious mind, 165 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: and he's able to remain calm and all these situations. 166 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: He has thought up the most intricate ways to have 167 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: people face some of their biggest fears. So maybe with 168 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: his words he could also manipulate me a bit into 169 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: thinking that I should take on one of his obstacles 170 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: like maybe he messes with my brain to be like, oh, 171 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't escape my my trap even if you tried, 172 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: and I would try to prove him wrong, and I 173 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: would be like, all right, what do you gotta put 174 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: me up against it? Let's go, And then I would 175 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: ultimately perish in that situation. But I think if I'm 176 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: able to avoid that, know that going into it. I 177 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: think all we need is our sit down conversation and 178 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: we take out together. John Kramer for Saw. After I Saw, 179 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: I was thinking about one of the most old school 180 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: horror movies that we don't really talk about anymore. In 181 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: a horror movie that really could not be made today 182 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. But the movie Kujoe, about 183 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: the killer dog who torments this mom and her kid, 184 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: and the entire movie is just them trapped in a 185 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: car trying to avoid Kujoe killing them. And this is 186 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: a tough one. It's another moral dilemma because I would 187 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: never hurt an animal. I would never hurt a dog, 188 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: but Kujo is a killer dog. And I think that's 189 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: why it would be hard to make this movie now, 190 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't really like watching movies 191 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: where the dog dies, myself included. It's always more depressing 192 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: sometimes when a dog dies than when an actual person 193 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: dies in a movie. I always root for the dog 194 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: to live a long, prosperous life. But in this situation, 195 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: the dog is the antagonist. The dog is trying to 196 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: kill you. And out of all the horror movies you have, 197 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean other people who are seven feet tall, and 198 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: you think I could probably outrun a dog, is where 199 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Kujo situation. I'm a pretty good runner, 200 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: and I've been chased by dogs before. Because I run 201 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: in neighborhoods. I tried to find new places to run, 202 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: and every time I visit a city sometimes they're unfamiliar, 203 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: so sometimes I just encounter dogs. So over the years 204 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: I've developed pretty good stamina when it comes to running 205 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: that I could just keep going, especially if there's something 206 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: chasing me, I could outrun whatever it is, so in 207 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: the case of Coujo, I wouldn't hurt him. Still can't 208 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: do that to a dog, even though he's trying to 209 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: bite my face off, and even though he is covered 210 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: and drenched in blood, I would merely just outrun him. 211 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: And by the time I outrun him, I would get 212 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: onto a building eventually, wait until he gets tired and board, 213 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: and just find a car and drive away. That is 214 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: how I would escape and defeat Coujo next up. I 215 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: love these movies. I think they are an underrated franchise. 216 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: First one is great. The rest of them are a 217 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: little bit comical, but I still enjoy them. But I could, 218 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: without a doubt take on the lepre Con from LEPRICN. 219 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: The lepric On stands at three ft six. He does 220 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: have some strength and advantages. He does magic. He can 221 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: do things and make things appear, and he can make 222 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: you see things that aren't really there. He also has 223 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: razor sharp nails that in some of the movies he 224 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: slices people's stomachs wide open. So he's a trickster. He 225 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: is devious, he is quick, and he is very creepy 226 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: looking that just the side of him would be scary 227 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: in itself. But I think that in the rules of 228 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: this fight, you don't have your signature weapon, and I 229 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: think therefore you don't have your powers, because that's kind 230 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: of his weapon. He uses a lot of manipulation and 231 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: a lot of trickery to take some people out. So 232 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have those supernatural abilities. He would just be 233 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: a leprechn And even with his razor sharp fingernails, I'm 234 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: still putting my money on myself, so I'm about to 235 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: rough up and mess up this leprechron I think anybody 236 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: in any lepricn movie probably could have and should have 237 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: done this. Next up is Samara from The Ring. She 238 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: gets four ft four inches. Samara has some strength, though 239 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: she is scrappy, and even though she is on the 240 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: shorter side, if you've seen the Ring movies, she is 241 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: utterly relentless. She seems like the type of person who 242 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: will get knocked down and get right back up, even 243 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: though she moves very, very slowly. But her greatest weakness 244 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: is that she is unarmed. She doesn't have any muscles, 245 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: she doesn't really have any strength aside from just being 246 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: super creepy. But let's not forget that Samara is trapped 247 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: in a well. So but if you just look at 248 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: this on a smart level, if there's somebody who gets 249 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: stuck in a well, I think I would be able 250 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: to outsmart them. So I would really not need to 251 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: take her on physically, because I don't feel great about that, 252 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: but I would merely just outsmart her, probably loony tune style, 253 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: quick little trap, and Samara is a non issue. I 254 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: think if all of our lives we're really in danger here, 255 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: we could go up against her. Next up, Candy Man. 256 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: We all remember being scared of the legend of Candy 257 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: Man from back in the day. He has a very 258 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: traumatic past and he only appears to targets after they 259 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: say candy Man five times in a mirror. So that's already. 260 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: One way to defeat him is just never save his 261 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: name in the first place. But again, we're put into 262 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: the situation. We are placed head to head against candy Man, 263 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: so we are already assuming that he is standing right 264 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: in front of us. Now, how do we defeat him? 265 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: His strengths. He's very angry, he is out to kill people, 266 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: and he has these bees in his chest. Those are 267 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: his strengths. His weakness, Well, we're not going to be 268 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: in his home field advantage, so there won't be any 269 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: mirrors anyway. That takes away a little bit of his strength. 270 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: And let's remember the first time he has taken out 271 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: he is destroyed by fire. So if you're able to 272 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: start a fire somehow, which I think I can start 273 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: a fire from scratch. I've done that before, probably done 274 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: it in a while, But if I'm put in this situation, 275 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: I could do that. I could also probably depending on 276 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: what landscape we get dropped into, maybe find some honey, 277 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: throw it on himself and then the bees won't know 278 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: what to do. But the biggest way to defeat Candy Man, 279 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: if you could get your hands on one, just get 280 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: a B suit. You find a B suit, maybe some 281 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: duct tape. That way, even if he does try to 282 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: claw at you slice you up, you're able to patch 283 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: up those slices real quick. There's no way his bees 284 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: can penetrate you if you have a B suit. So 285 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: step one, try to start a fire. Step two, try 286 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: to find a B suit. Step three give him a 287 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: taste of his own medicine and drop him in some honey. 288 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: And then finally, in a situation like this, I think 289 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: I could rough up any of the classic monsters from 290 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: all of the old monster movies, the Mummy, the Frankenstein, Dracula, 291 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: Creature from the Black Lagoon. And I think it's because 292 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: all the versions we've seen of those characters in movies 293 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: are very comical. They're very stiff, and they are a 294 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: non threat when it comes to people you could take 295 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: on in a fight. So I also asked this question online. 296 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: Here are some of my favorite responses from Sean Eastern. 297 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: He said, outside of the water, I could take on Jaws. 298 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: I just thought that was hilarious because, yes, put into 299 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: a neutral environment, you take Jaws out of the water 300 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: and you just sit back and wait. From Chris Owen, 301 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: the puppet Master of Puppets, Yeah, that goes back to 302 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: that category I mentioned earlier. Any kind of doll, any 303 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: kind of just supernatural creature or box or object, those 304 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: could all easily be taken out. From Jonathan Martini, he said, 305 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: Norman Bates easy. He was about six too, and I'm 306 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: six six with at least a plus five inch reach 307 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: on him. I'd lay my money on that one. Jonathan. 308 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: If you are six six, I would easily put you 309 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: into having an advantage over Norman Bates. And yeah, I 310 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: never really saw Norman Bates as a real physical threat. 311 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: And Jonathan, at six six, I feel like you could 312 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: have an easy day probably with the real Michael Myers 313 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: and his prime You're a tall dude, Jonathan. Sherry Morris 314 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: said the girl from the movie The Orphan. I agree 315 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: with that one, Sherry, I would put my money on you. 316 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: And finally, Dustin mid Kiff on Facebook said the Fisherman 317 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: from I Know What You did last Summer. That's another 318 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: good one. The Fisherman and the evil guy in that 319 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: movie is really also just a normal dude except a 320 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: hook on his hand. So Dustin, I don't know you personally, 321 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: but I would also put my money on you. All right, 322 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: coming up, I'll give my spoiler free review of Black Adam, 323 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: starring The Rock and the Trailer Park. Later we'll talk 324 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: about Create three, why I Am upset with Rotten Tomatoes, 325 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: and then we'll also talk about the Twister sequel we 326 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: are getting more than twenty five years after the original one. 327 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: We'll be back after this. All right, I am about 328 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: to get into a spoiler free review of Black Adam, 329 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: and I will say that I was very excited going 330 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: into this movie. I am a fan of The Rock. 331 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: I loved him as a wrestler, and it's cool to 332 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: see over the years his transition into being one of 333 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: the most bankable movie stars that we have right now, 334 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: and Black Adams seemed like a passion project for him 335 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: almost I've seen him just posting about it for so 336 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: long on his Instagram, and he is really good at 337 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: building up hype and that was instilled in me. And 338 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: back when I first saw the trailer for this movie, 339 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be the answer that 340 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: d C was looking for. This was going to be 341 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: their force as their entire DC extended universe. It kind 342 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: of en shambles with the Flash movie being up in 343 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: the air, with the Justice League being disbanded. I think 344 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: that for some reason, I had this expectation that Black 345 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: Adam was going to come and change all that because 346 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: it had a darker, grittier tone. He was being set 347 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: up as having all of the superpowers that Superman has 348 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: without the moral compass, and that's what Black Adam was 349 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: going to be. So with the star power, with the 350 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: story with I just am a big fan of superheroes. 351 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: They're like my favorite genre that I was excited for this. 352 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: So before I get into my full review here and 353 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: answer the question is this going to say the d 354 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: C EU, here's just a little bit of the Black 355 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: Adam trailer if you haven't seen it at this point, 356 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: because this thing is everywhere if you watch any NFL 357 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: game or been on Instagram or TikTok at all. This 358 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: trailer is everywhere, but there's a little piece in this 359 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: that I will represent the review. I was a slave 360 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: until I died, that I was reborn to God. My 361 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: son sacrificed his life to save me. Now I kneel 362 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 1: before no one. So the story of Black Adam is 363 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: that of an anti hero. He doesn't do things like 364 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: a normal superhero would because Black Adam has no problem 365 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: killing his enemies. And this movie starts out giving the 366 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: backstory of Black Adam, and then the first opening sequence 367 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: is five thousand years after that, after he was given 368 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: these powers by these Egyptian gods and after he was imprisoned. 369 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: He is now free from his prison and unleashed from 370 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: his tomb. What you see in the trailer is actually 371 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: that first scene of him just annihilating all of these 372 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: quote unquote bad guys, and he is out for vengeance. 373 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: Also that you heard him that trailer. His son sacrificed himself, 374 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: and that is why Black Adam is here, and that's 375 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: why he is so angry. And from that opening sequence, 376 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Black Adom to me look like a force that was 377 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: going to be hard to deal with. And I did 378 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: enjoy seeing him take out these bad guys. I think 379 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: it gave me that excitement that I did get from 380 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: the trailer of him just throwing people around, tossing people 381 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: around like rag dolls. That was fun to see. And 382 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: then you also get to see all of his superpowers 383 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: in that opening sequence. He can fly, he's very fast, 384 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: he has this lightning capabilities, and he's almost like a 385 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: hybrid of a bunch of different superhero characters. When he 386 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: smacks his hand together, it's kind of creates a sonic boom, 387 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: kind of like the Hulk. So he is a cool 388 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: superhero and he looks really cool, and I think that's 389 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: why I was so excited about it. I do like 390 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: the suit and the rock is built like a superhero, 391 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: just the normal, everyday life. So it's almost surprising that 392 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: it took this long for him to actually become a superhero. 393 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: And he was signed on to do this movie fifteen 394 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: years ago, so all those things combined had my expectations 395 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: a lot higher. And after that first opening sequence, I 396 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: kind of realized that they weren't going to be met. 397 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: And d C really just historically struggles with creating great 398 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: backstories for characters, with giving these heroes the origin stories 399 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: that they need, you know, to really set up a 400 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: great superhero, you need to be invested in their store, 401 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: you need to care about their actions, and they need 402 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: to come from a place of like, Okay, I understand 403 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: why they are doing this, and I never really got 404 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: that with Black Atom the opening sequence with his back story, 405 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: I found it a little bit boring. And DC is 406 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: kind of like that ex boyfriend who tells you that 407 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: they are going to change and you get back together 408 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: with them and you realize you ain't changing. You're kind 409 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: of doing the same thing over and over again. That's 410 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: how they are with their backstories. They're always set in 411 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: like these older times, in these mythological times, and they 412 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: try to create a much bigger world than they can 413 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: take on. So it gets a little bit lost, it 414 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: gets a little bit just kind of confusing. And I 415 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: also didn't feel like that backstory really invested me more 416 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: in understanding the Rocks actions as Black Adom and just 417 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: the look of it too. It kind of felt like 418 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: I was watching three hundred from back in the day. 419 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: It felt very dated, and DC movies to me always 420 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: just kind of looked like a two thousand metal music video. 421 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of that style, and where the 422 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: movie really just began to lose me is the novelty 423 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: war off pretty quick of him just throwing people around 424 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: and taking out bad guys, and the entire movie just 425 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: felt very surface level and it never really gave me 426 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: anybody to root for. Like, I love the Rock, but 427 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: I was expecting a little bit more from his performance. 428 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: In order to make a great origin story, again, you 429 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: need a fully fleshed out superhero or antihero, and I 430 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: never found myself being that excited when he was on screen, 431 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: the way he delivered his lines. And I know I 432 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: don't expect the Rock to be the greatest actor, but 433 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: it was very much just the Rock in the black 434 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: Adam costume. I didn't feel like he was what the 435 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: character needed to be. I didn't really find him that 436 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: believable as a superhero, and I think that's due to the, 437 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, not execution of the backstory. And I know 438 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: it's possible to do a great backstory like this just 439 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: watching a movie like Black Panther. That movie was really 440 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: able to set up the world of Waconda in a 441 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: very concise and profound way that this movie was not 442 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: able to do the same, and it also just kind 443 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: of lacked that big triumphant moment that I always look 444 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: for in a superhero movie, the moment that makes you 445 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: want to cheer, and the moment that makes you feel 446 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: like he has finally done something amazing and worthy of 447 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: all of our investment in this story. Never really got that. 448 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: I also think I didn't enjoy this movie because I 449 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: felt like there was a lack of the supporting cast. 450 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: And you know, you have Pierce Braus and as Dr Fate, 451 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: you have Hawkman and this introduction of the Justice Society, 452 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: who in the movie, they are the ones set it 453 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: out to put Black Atom back into his prison because 454 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: he is out here killing people and they want to 455 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: restore the order. And I didn't really love any of 456 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: their characters. They had their quick little moments, but even 457 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: Atom Smasher was like a mix of dead Pool and 458 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: ant Man, and it was just in those moments I 459 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: really found them trying to emulate the m c U 460 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: and falling flat of that, especially when it came to 461 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: any attempt at comic relief. They had some side characters 462 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: who were supposed to be the goofy ones and they 463 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: tried to make commentary on the tropes of superhero movies 464 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: and catchphrases, and all of that fell completely flat, and 465 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: none of the side characters really had their moment to shine. 466 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: I felt like the focus was so much on of 467 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: course Black Atom and the Star of the Rock, but 468 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: he didn't deliver enough to warrant all of that attention 469 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: in this movie, and that's not something you want in 470 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: a superhero movie. But the one thing I do have 471 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: to give to d C is their visual effects in 472 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: this movie outshine anything Marvel has done in the last year, 473 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: and I think when it came to the costume design, 474 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: aside from Adam Smasher, when it came to the visual effects, 475 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: I thought those were what I was looking for in 476 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: a superhero movie. So that did make it entertaining, but 477 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: it just really lacked heart. So I don't think this 478 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 1: is a superhero movie for the masses. I think if 479 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: you are a die hard superhero fan, you still will 480 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: find some enjoyment in this movie. I just don't think 481 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: it was the answer I was looking for when it 482 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: comes to d C. Still, my favorite d C movie 483 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: in this universe is The Suicide Squad. I don't really 484 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: consider the Batman to be in the same realm. I 485 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: feel like what Matt Reeves is doing there is pretty independent, 486 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: but when it comes to anything Justice League, anything that's 487 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: at Snyder did, or anything that's trying to be their Avengers, 488 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's there yet. So the movie was 489 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: just kind of a letdown. But I do hope that 490 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: kids will see this movie and still enjoy it, and 491 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: I can get that as a thirty year old comic 492 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: book superhero fan, I realized that sometimes all these movies 493 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: aren't really geared towards me. And knowing that a kid 494 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: out there could watch this movie and Black Adam could 495 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: become their favorite superhero and a kid will want to 496 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: dress up as Black Adam for Halloween and their favorite 497 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: actor is the Rock, I think that is more what 498 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: this movie is for. And if my favorite part out 499 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: of this entire movie was the post credit scene, then 500 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: this movie did not do its job. So I would 501 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: give Black Adam two point five out of five lightning bolts. 502 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: I will like to do a spoiler version of this 503 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: review later do talk about that post credit scene. So 504 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: if you are going to watch Black Adam, I would 505 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: advise you to stay off TikTok to avoid that post 506 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: credit scene. It's time to head down to movie Mike. 507 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: This movie looks really good and it's very rare for 508 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: a part three to a franchise. Look this good just 509 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: right out of the gate in the trailer and we're 510 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: talking about Creed three, starring Michael B. Jordan's He is 511 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: back and this time he is directing this movie. This 512 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: is his directorial debut, which is a really big deal. 513 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan is an incredibly talented actor. He's been 514 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: in a lot of great movies. Really one of the 515 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: actors in the last ten years to rise so quickly 516 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: to that a list level of actor, and he has 517 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: done that. This movie follows directly after Creed two, and 518 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: in this place we have Michael B. Jordan's character meeting 519 00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: his former childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian Dame Anderson. 520 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: He is back after serving a long sentence in prison, 521 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: and he's eager to get his shot back in the ring. 522 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: But then it looks like some tensions get high and 523 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: it looks like we end up having a match off 524 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: between the two former friends, when really he's just trying 525 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: to help him out get his life back together. But 526 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: before we get into more about Creed three, here is 527 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 1: just a little bit of the trailer. Damien's fighting the 528 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: world and he's trying to hurt people. I found few 529 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: you think you met, trying to sput in half your 530 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: life in the sale. Why does somebody else live your life? 531 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm coming for everything, threatening, something that's going on with you. 532 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: Bamian was like family, we passed talking. Then maybe you 533 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: just have to find him. Fight fight, fight fight. So 534 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: this movie looks like it could be the best one 535 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: yet in the Creed franchise. Again, that's very rare for 536 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: a part three to a franchise to look this good. 537 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: Even more rare and even heard of that it's coming 538 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: from one of the greatest, if not the greatest sports 539 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: movie franchise of all time. It's a spinoff of Rocky, 540 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: which Rocky in itself some of the greatest sports movies 541 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: ever made. So this is like two levels deep on 542 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: my expectations already being blown out the water. But you 543 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: have Michael B. Jordan's here also directing this movie, and 544 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: that's a hard thing to do to direct and star 545 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: in a movie at this level and also get to 546 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the physical capabilities that a movie like this requires, and 547 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: both Michael B. Jordan's and the actor who plays Damien 548 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: in this movie, who is Jonathan Majors, both look incredibly 549 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: in tip top shape. They're both shredded. They look like 550 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: real fighters. They don't look like actors playing fighters, So 551 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: that itself adds a whole other level of authenticity to 552 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: this movie and separate, they are such great actors in 553 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: their own right, especially Jonathan Majors to take on a 554 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: role like this where he is a pretty versatile actor, 555 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: and this role almost seems to come to him so 556 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: naturally just looking at this trailer, So I think both 557 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: of them going head to head in this movie one 558 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: of their acting, but to actually fighting each other, I 559 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: think that is something that I'm really looking forward to. 560 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: So what it looks like this movie is about is 561 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: Damien gets out of prison. He meets up with Michael 562 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: b Jordan's character, and Michael b Jordan's offers him to 563 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: come train at his gym. He's trying to get him 564 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: back on his feet. But obviously Damian feels like he 565 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: is living out his life and he's had this entire 566 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: time in prison to build up this anger, build up 567 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: this tension, and now that he is out. Even though 568 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: he goes to him seeking help, it looks like he 569 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: ultimately wants to take him down and get some revenge here. 570 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: And you see that in the trailer when he's training 571 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: in the ring at his gym. He's going all out 572 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: on some of these opponents in practice and just these 573 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: warm ups and just the sparring situation. And he looks 574 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: like an utter force and a great villain in this movie. 575 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: And I think this is a franchise that no matter 576 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: what level of movie fan you are, you can get into, 577 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: even if you haven't seen all of the original Rocky 578 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: movies and you're just looking for some really good drama 579 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: and slash action movies. I think you should hop into 580 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: watching Creed one and two before this movie comes out 581 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: next year. This is Creed three, coming out on March three. 582 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: Definitely one on my list. This one of my favorite 583 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: movies of all time. On some days it is my 584 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: favorite of all time. But it's easily the movie I've 585 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: seen the most. I have watched Twister from at least 586 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: fifty times since it's come out. It's been out a 587 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: while now. It's just been my comfort movie for a 588 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: very long time, and it was the first movie I 589 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: really remember going to watch in theaters because I remember 590 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: the first night I went, it was completely sold out. 591 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen anymore. Movies don't get sold out like 592 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: they used to, so that was a big memory for me, 593 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: and I think it was also that it was kind 594 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: of me facing my fears watching this movie because I 595 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: grew up in a trailer park, and my biggest fear 596 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: growing up in a trailer park in Texas was that 597 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: a twister would come and there's nowhere to go. In 598 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: a trailer park, you can't really seek shelter, So I 599 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: always had this unnatural fear that I was going to 600 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: be taken away by a twister. And how I combated 601 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: that fear was why taking on my biggest fear head 602 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: on and watching Twister over and over again. It's a 603 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: movie that I can recite from the start to the 604 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: end of it, and it's also a movie that my 605 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: wife and I have now bonded over and we're both 606 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: just really big fans of disaster movies. And I know 607 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: sometimes disaster movies don't get the best rap, especially critically, 608 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: but I think they are an underappreciated genre because they're 609 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: just fun movies. I love a good disaster movie. They 610 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: are what comfort me and bring down my levels of anxiety. 611 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: So they announced that a sequel to the original Twister 612 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: is now in development and it may start filming as 613 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: early as next year. Universal Pictures has confirmed that the 614 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: sequel to the n disaster movie is coming. The new 615 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: movie will be titled Well as of Now Twisters, which 616 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: is not the best title I would I would take 617 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: Twister two over Twisters, but okay. Expected to start production 618 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: next year, and according to Deadline, it will reportedly focus 619 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: on Helen Hunt's character, who is Joe, and the daughter 620 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: she has will Bill Paxton's character, who is Bill. But 621 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: it's still unclear whether or not Helen Hunt will be 622 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: back in this movie. It could just be her daughter, 623 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: although she did previously say that she would be interested 624 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: in doing it. But Bill Paxton of course passed away 625 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: in Seen at the age of sixty one, so I 626 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: know he wanted to make a Twister sequel back in two. 627 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: I remember him talking in an interview about wanting to 628 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: do Twister three D whenever that was a little bit 629 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: more prevalent in filmmaking, and he also wanted to give 630 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: the Twister sequel kind of a darker tone, more realistic 631 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: and modern day tone, and I really wanted to see 632 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 1: that version of Twister, and I'm sad that never got made. Also, 633 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: Philip Seymour Hoffman, who played Dusty in the movie, has 634 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: also passed away since, so I'm curious to see if 635 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: they even try to get back some of the original 636 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,439 Speaker 1: cast at this point, not having Bill Paxston, not having 637 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: Philip Semore Hoffman, and Helen Hunt still not being attached 638 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: to the project, which oftentimes when they do green light 639 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: a movie like this, it's because they already have their start. 640 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: And the fact that they haven't announced her yet leads 641 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: me to believe that she probably won't be in this movie. 642 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: It could just be entirely focused on their daughter and 643 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: entirely taking on a new life of its own. I 644 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: still think that Twister is the greatest movie ever made. 645 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: To not get a sequel, for the level of success 646 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: that this movie had at the box office, for a 647 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: Twister two to never be made until this point, I 648 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 1: think that's a pretty big deal. And I love this 649 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: movie so much. It's been my favorite for years. That 650 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: I actually had an actor on named Sean Whalen on 651 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: my podcast back a couple of years ago, whenever the 652 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: twenty fifth anniversary of this movie was happening. Sean Whalen 653 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: played one of the storm Chasers in the movie. If 654 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: you remember one of them who got criticized by Rabbit 655 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: saying you don't fold the maps, you'll roll the maps. 656 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 1: That was Shaun Whalen's character. I had him on the 657 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: podcast and this is what he had to say about 658 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: Bill Paxton and him wanting to get a Twister sequel made. 659 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: Bill had been pushing that for so long and we 660 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: were talking about it. He just, you know, it's crazy 661 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: because he said, there's never been a huge blockbuster like 662 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: that that doesn't get a sequel. It was unheard up, 663 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: so he was going around pitching it. I don't know 664 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: why it never made. I mean, it could be listening. 665 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: Bill and Helen didn't get along that well, just because 666 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: they were so so so different and the way they 667 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: were trained as actors and just there you know approach 668 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: as to like, she's definitely more quiet and reserved. He 669 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: was definitely gregarious or whatever, and then big and he 670 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: was so excited because he's been in the trenches for 671 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: a long time of being a side character and he 672 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: was finally getting a lead. I don't know if that 673 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: had something to do with it, So I think that 674 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: could have greatly contributed to what they never made a sequel. 675 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: If the two actors that are the leads didn't really 676 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: get along, maybe they were both sought out and kind 677 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: of gauged on't whether they would want to do another one, 678 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: And if either one of them would have said no 679 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: to agreeing to work with the other again, that could 680 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: have been a reason to shut down any talks of 681 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: a sequel. And I also still follow Sean on TikTok, 682 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: and he made a video saying that he knows nothing 683 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: about it, he hasn't been reached out to, and he 684 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: was a part of that storm chasing crew. So that 685 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: also leads me to believe that they are probably going 686 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: to bring in an entirely new cast into this movie. 687 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: And as much as I love Twister, I just don't 688 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: think we should mess with the legacy of it. I 689 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: just don't think anything they make we'll live up to 690 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: what that original movie means to me. Will I end 691 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: up eventually going to watch it in theaters, Yes, of course, 692 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: But I think we just loved the idea of what 693 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: a Twister sequel could be like, because we love that 694 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: original one. But unless you have Helen Hunt back, unless 695 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: you have all, if not most, of the original cast back, 696 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: I don't think it will feel the same. So as 697 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: of now, I'm not that into it, and that is 698 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: coming from a die hard fan, So I'm definitely curious 699 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: to see what more news we get about this movie. 700 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 1: Al Right. Next, I'm going to get into why I 701 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: am annoyed with Rotten Tomatoes. If you're new to the podcast, 702 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: I have been trying to become a certified critic on 703 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes probably since I started this podcast. Really, the 704 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: reason I got into reviewing movies to begin with is 705 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: because I love Rotten Tomatoes. I would always kind of 706 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: rely on that score and it would kind of skew 707 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: my feelings going into watching a movie, and that is 708 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: why I started reviewing movies. And it's always just kind 709 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: of been this dream of mine to be an actual 710 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes critic and get to submit reviews that contribute 711 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: to that critic score. I don't know why they have 712 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 1: continued to reject my application, but every time I submit, 713 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: they send me an email. And right before I sat 714 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,959 Speaker 1: down to record this episode. I got my response that said, 715 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: dear Mike, thank you for your application and your patients 716 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: during our review process. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer 717 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: you Rotten Tomato meter approval at this time. For podcast 718 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: we look for an audience reach and engagement demonstrated through 719 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: at least two ratings on Apple Podcasts with a minimum 720 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: of four stars, and we did not see this reflected 721 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: in your submission, and that is the main reason they 722 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: rejected me. They didn't even look at my profile. If 723 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: you look at this, thanks to you guys, we have 724 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 1: a four point nine rating on Apple Podcasts and thousands 725 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: of reviews, and they said if anything changes, I can 726 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: reapply in March. I've been trying to get approved in 727 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: so I really don't see any hope in this at 728 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: this point. I think for some reason they don't want 729 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: me as a critic. I don't know what else I 730 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: have to do. This is at least the most solid 731 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: answer I've got from them to date. Before they would 732 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: just say I haven't been reviewing movies for at least 733 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: two years, which is also untrue. I've been reviewing movies 734 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: on the Bobby Bones Show since so I don't know 735 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: what we need to do, guys, And I don't know 736 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: why I feel like I need their approval. It's just 737 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: always something I've wanted to say that I have that 738 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: I am a Rotten Tomatoes certified reviewer, but at this 739 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: point it really doesn't mean that much to me anymore 740 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: than just wanting to finally get approved after them rejecting 741 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: me for so long. And the only reason I share 742 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: this is to let you in on if you ever 743 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: go to Rotten Tomatoes, which, hey, just listen to this podcast. 744 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: I try to steer to you the best way. I 745 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: feel like I am your friend here letting you know 746 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,320 Speaker 1: how I feel about movies, even though we don't always 747 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: have to agree. I try to let you know what 748 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: kind of movie fan you have to be to enjoy 749 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: different kind of movies. So I try to be very 750 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: objective when giving my reviews, and I also share my 751 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: bias with you. Sometimes sometimes it's just movies that I'm 752 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: going to like for no other reason than being I 753 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: just like an aesthetic to a movie. I'll be upfront 754 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: with that. For some reason, Rotten Tomatoes feel like they 755 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: kind of have an agenda when it comes to what 756 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,439 Speaker 1: gets submitted over there and what goes into them giving 757 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: high rate innks to movies that I watch and be like, 758 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: how did that movie get a high rating? And maybe 759 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: I would mess that up over there. So if that's 760 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: the real reason I'm getting denied here, which I don't know, 761 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: they won't give me a straight answer, I'll be fine. 762 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: I'll leave my reviews here for you guys. That is 763 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: what this is all about at the end of the day. 764 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: But that is why I was fired up going into 765 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: this week's episode. But enough about them, Let's wrap it 766 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: up with what I do every single week on the podcast, 767 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: and it's given my listener shout out of the week. 768 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: All you have to do is leave a comment on Instagram, 769 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: TikTok or send me an email at movie Mike d 770 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com.

It's created amazing memories and it has 776 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: become our thing. Love listening to your podcast. Jen, My 777 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: wife and I have also bought our Waconda Wherever tickets. 778 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: So Jen, I am right there with you being as 779 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: excited going into this movie, and I love that that 780 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: is a tradition that you have with your son. I 781 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: saw a TikTok that made me pretty emotional, and it 782 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: was this kid and his dad that they have taken 783 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: pictures in front of every Marvel movie poster that they've 784 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: seen outside of the theater, and it's the kid just 785 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: progressively getting older and older. It goes from being a 786 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: kid to being a teenager. And that kind of got 787 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: me on emotional level. And I know there are far 788 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: other more important reasons and other reasons that mean more 789 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: to me to have a kid someday. But like you, Jen, 790 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 1: I too would like to have that bonding experience of 791 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: taking a son or daughter to watch all of these 792 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: Marvel movies, especially right now where they're all still really good. 793 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 1: But I am really excited to see what Condo Forever, 794 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: which my Marvel update of the week.
