1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. I 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike, and I am a guy 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: who loves movies and occasionally will hate a movie, and that, unfortunately, 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: is what this episode is about. I'm going to share 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: with you my top five worst movies of the year. 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: We'll also get into the biggest box office bombs of 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: two and what went wrong there, because not every movie 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: on that list is actually a bad movie. In the 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: movie review, we'll talk about a movie called Spoiler Alert, 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: which is out in theaters now. Yes that is the 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: title of the movie. It's not a warning. The movie 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: is called Spoiler Alert and stars Jim Parsons. And then 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: in the trailer park, we'll talk about the New Guardians 14 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: of the Galaxy trailer for Volume three, which is the 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: final chapter in the trilogy. Thank you for being subscribed 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: in listening every single Monday. Shout out to the Monday 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. Here we go. Let's talk movies in 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast, A man with so 21 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge he's basically like walking at him with 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Networking Movie Movie Podcast. As 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: we wind down the year, I feel like, or at 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: least I'm hopeful, that we've seen all of the bad 25 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: movies that we're going to get for this year. The 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: verdict is still out on Avatar too, but I've actually 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: seen some good things about that movie so far. So 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: in a couple of episodes, I will give you my 29 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: top ten movies of the year, but I wanted to 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: dedicate an entire episode two of the Bad because it's 31 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: fun to talk about movies that we hate sometimes, and 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I feel like there have been few and far between 33 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: bad movies this year, which is good overall. But the 34 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: movies that made my top five lists were just really bad. 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: In some of the worst movies I've seen in a 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: very long time. I gave out my first ever zero 37 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: and some of these movies were so bad that I 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: couldn't even scrape to other a review. So some of 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: these I watched and I was like, I don't have 40 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: anything positive to say. There's nothing constructively I can break 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: down about this movie. That is how bad some of 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: these were. So I feel like we're dealing with two 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: polar opposite ends of movies this year, we had some 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: really great ones. I gave out a five this year, 45 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: and then we're going to get into the bad now, 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: so let's kick it off with number five. The movie 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: I gave a one out of five rating is more 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: bious and it's rare for a Marvel movie to end 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: up on a list like this. But this isn't the 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: m c U Marvel. This is the sony side of Marvel. 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: What I think went wrong with this movie is you're 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: dealing with the character that nobody really cares about, and 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: it's hard to get invested in that. And it's also 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: about vampires, and there's a very thin line when it 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: comes to an on screen adaptation of a vampire story. 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: It's often viewed as being overall pretty cheesy. So then 57 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: you take that you put Jared Leto in this, which 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: he is an actor that oftentimes when he gets cast 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: in something, it kind of makes me question wanting to 60 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: watch it or not. So this was also a movie 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't rushing into the theater to see. Even though 62 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Marvel fan, even the bad movies I 63 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: can find some enjoyment in. This movie served no purpose 64 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: in the little world they're trying to create on the 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: sony side with Venom, with having a small attachment to 66 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: Spider Man, I just think it's the more beous character. 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: He was fine in the Spider Man cartoon, but I 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: never really saw him and thought they should make an 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: entire movie on him and proved that you can't just 70 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: make any superhero movie and have a lot of success. 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: I think the only enjoyment I really got out of 72 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: this movie was seeing everybody rip it online, and I 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: think that's kind of where the interest generated in this is. 74 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Once you build that reputation of just being a bad movie, 75 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: there's no recovering from that. So at number five I 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: went with Morbius and number four, looking, here, we have 77 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: another vampire movie. It is Day Shift, which came out 78 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: on Netflix. Stars Jamie Fox and Dave Franco. And now 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: you take vampires and you add in comedy or an 80 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: attempt at comedy, and you're dealing with some tricky waters here. 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: So this movie was pretty bad from the very beginning. 82 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: It was a movie I really had to force myself 83 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: to get through. And you take somebody like Jamie Fox, 84 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: who is so charismatic and he is a great leading actor, 85 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: but everything just fell short In this movie, I think 86 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: it was trying to be too much like a twenty 87 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: tens comedy. Maybe that's because Dave Franco was in it, 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: but I found his character so utterly annoying it made 89 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: the entire plot of the movie unbearable to watch. And 90 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: they're both pretty good actors, Jamie Fox especially, he's an 91 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: Oscar winning actor, but you put him in a movie 92 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: like this and it felt so phoned in and the 93 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: story was so dumb, and I think that goes back 94 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: again to the vampires stopped making movies about vampires. The 95 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: only benefit from this movie is I was able to 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: watch it from the comfort of my house and didn't 97 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: have to spend any money on a ticket or on 98 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: gas to get to the theater. So that is the 99 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: only reason this one ranked up a little bit higher 100 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: than More Obvious, but both pretty bad, standing at a 101 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: one out of five rating for me. Still hopefully you 102 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: avoided this movie too and didn't fall into the traps 103 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: that is a Netflix comedy. So at number four is 104 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Day Shift. At number three, I'm going with Disney pluses Pinocchio, 105 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: which I also gave a one out of five rating. 106 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: You take one of the greatest American actors of our lifetime, 107 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, and you put him in a starring role, 108 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: and you think, with him and the magic of Disney, 109 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: how could you get one of the most beloved fairy 110 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: tale stories from Disney of all time? How could it 111 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: be bad? It was bad. I don't know who this 112 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: movie was for, because what this movie did was take 113 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: all of the magic and warmness of the original story 114 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: and completely diluted and take everything away that made that 115 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: original one special. I'm just not a fan in general 116 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: of all the live action Disney remakes. I would rather 117 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: see a Disney sequel live action then them try to 118 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: retell a story and feel very much like a cash grab. 119 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: To me, the c g I in this movie wasn't 120 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: even that great, and maybe it's because it was a 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: straight to streaming movie. It kind of feels like a 122 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: straight to DVD scenario that we used to have back 123 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: in the nineties and two thousand's. That exactly what this 124 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: movie is. And I don't know if Disney is just 125 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: trying that approach now. They're kind of bringing that back 126 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: with the movies they put on Disney Plus, but I 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: feel like to really build their service, they kind of 128 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: put some quality stuff out there and not just slapping 129 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: on an A list actor and a franchise that we 130 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: all already know and trying to make us stay as 131 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: subscribers over there. So I thought this was a pretty 132 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: big misstep for Disney Plus and movie just lacked imagination, 133 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: a lack that Disney magic, and was a movie that 134 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: probably should not have been made. I hope they don't 135 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: ruin any more titles like they did this movie. So 136 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: at number three with the one out of five is Pinocchio. 137 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: At number two was a movie I thought was going 138 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: to be pretty good. It stars Ben Affleck and none 139 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: of the attemas, and it's called Deep Water. This movie 140 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: I gave a point five out of five rating. I 141 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: may have given it a one in my initial review, 142 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: but thinking more about that movie and more about the 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: lack of plot, I'm reducing a point five and you 144 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: can get a point five out of five. This movie 145 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: was supposed to be and was pitched as a psychological trailer. 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: In the trailer, and I felt like there was going 147 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: to be some mystery and some action and a dark 148 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: secret that was going to unfold. But let me tell you, 149 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen Deep Water. Nothing happens in this movie, 150 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: absolutely no plot line whatsoever. It's a bunch of people 151 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: being sad and angry at each other and cheating on 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: each other, and Ben Affleck and none of the Arnomas 153 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: hooking up and it being so weird and awkward. And 154 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: I think Deep Water has one of the worst endings 155 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in a movie. It was comical. It's 156 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: an ending that I could see winding up on YouTube 157 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: and ten years and people looking at how ridiculous this 158 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: ending was. And this was a movie I just didn't 159 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: want to finish, but I knew that there were some 160 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: things to talk about to do a review on it, 161 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: that I powered through it. But if I didn't have 162 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: this podcast, there is no way I would have finished 163 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: watching this movie. That's kind of my role is if 164 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to rate and review a movie, I gotta 165 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: watch it till the very end to give my full 166 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on it. So I powered through this movie for you. 167 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: That is what I do on this podcast. So under 168 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: no circumstance, should you ever watch deep Water. If you 169 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: did and enjoyed it, let me know because I would 170 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: like to know what other movies you and AI So 171 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: at number two, with a point five out of five 172 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: rating is deep Water. Before I get into my number one, 173 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: here are some dishonorable mentions because I asked this question 174 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: on my socials and some of you sent in these 175 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: that I don't exactly agree with, but I'll share them here. 176 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: Mackenzie said Jurassic World Dominion, which I agree wasn't the 177 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: best movie, but I wouldn't put it on my worst 178 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: I did find some enjoyment in that it did come 179 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: out in the summer when I wanted a big blockbuster movie. 180 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: But I could see if you are a real big 181 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: fan of the original, how let down you would have 182 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: been by that one, So I wouldn't judge you for 183 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: putting that on your worst list. A lot of you 184 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: guys said Bullet Train, which is a movie I actually liked. 185 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the action in that movie, but I 186 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: could see if you were going in expecting more of 187 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: like a Quentin Tarantino style action movie and the comedy 188 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: didn't really land for you. I could see that movie 189 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: being kind of a pain for you to watch. But 190 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: I love mindless action movies and I thought that movie 191 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: was pretty fun, so that would have leaned more towards 192 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: my best action movies of the year, but all of 193 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: our tastes are different. We see Verge on Facebook said 194 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: the Monsters movie, which my mom would agree with you 195 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: on that one, and Jennifer on Facebook also said The 196 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: Minions is the Rise of Grew. I'll admit that wasn't 197 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: the best movie, but I don't really expect the Minion 198 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: movies to be the best movies ever. But I still 199 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: found some enjoyment in that movie just because I love 200 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: how dumb they are. So maybe that's my guilty pleasure 201 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: movie of the year. But now at number one, my 202 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: worst movie of two with a zero out of five 203 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: rating is the movie Amsterdam. Now, the only good thing 204 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: I have to say about this movie is I now 205 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: have my worst movie of all time. I get that 206 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: question a lot, and Amsterdam, hands down, is the worst 207 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: movie I've ever seen and the only movie that I 208 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: have ever walked out of the theater. And I was 209 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: just telling you that my rule is I have to 210 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: watch movie to the very end if I'm going to 211 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: review it, and that is the reason I never reviewed 212 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: Amsterdam on this podcast. The movie was also very long 213 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: and about an hour and a half in when I 214 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: realized there was another hour to come. I was like, 215 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: what are they going to do for the rest of 216 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: this hour? My wife and I decided let's just leave, 217 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: like there's no value in staying and watching this movie. 218 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: And that is the first time I have ever done that. 219 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: This movie had a lot of red flags, and walking 220 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: in to watch this movie, I saw the poster and 221 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: there was no image of any actor. There was nothing 222 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: about what the movie was about. It was just all 223 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: the A list actors listed. And I told my wife 224 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: Kelsey that this movie is going to be bad, because 225 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: whenever a movie does that, that means they are trying 226 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: to sell you on their star power and not the 227 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: actual contents of this movie. The most surprising thing about 228 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: Amsterdam is it was pitched and credited as a mystery comedy. 229 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: I down that completely ridiculous because there was nothing funny 230 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: about this movie. I will say, in the first ten minutes, 231 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: one of the A list actors gets hit by a car, 232 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: and I don't think that moment was supposed to be funny, 233 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: but the way it looked was so cheap and ridiculous 234 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: that I found only that to be the funny scene 235 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: in the entire movie. It felt like the director was 236 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: having a hard time wrangling all these A list actors 237 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: and giving them any direction whatsoever. It was almost like 238 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: you told them, maybe just do whatever you want. There 239 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: was no real script in this movie, and it all 240 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: just kind of felt like when you have a really 241 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: weird dream and try to tell somebody else about that 242 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: dream and you forget a lot of details. That is 243 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: what Amsterdam was. So at number one with the lowest 244 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: rating of the year, zero zero, Amsterdam is my worst 245 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: movie of two And now I want to go through 246 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: the biggest box office bombs of the year. And just 247 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: because some of these movies made the list doesn't mean 248 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: they are entirely bad movies. And I'll tell you about those, 249 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: but these are the movies that had the lowest return 250 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: on investment of the year. And number ten is a 251 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: movie we talked about earlier more Bus. The movie cost 252 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars to make and made about a 253 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty million dollars. So on paper, you think, oh, 254 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: they made a lot of that money back. But if 255 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: you remember from the episode we did about how movies 256 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: make money, that's not all the money they bring home. 257 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: The movie theaters take home at least forty of that, 258 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: and then you have to spend another thirty five to 259 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: forty million to promote that movie. And not only that, 260 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: that movie built a very bad reputation, so anything else 261 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: attached to that movie making the sequel is very grim. 262 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: You don't get any of those other perks and extras 263 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: out of that movie. So that's the number ten bomb 264 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: of the year. At number nine is the unbearable weight 265 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: of massive talent from Lionsgate. The movie cost thirty million 266 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: dollars to make and only made about thirty million dollars 267 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: as well. In the end, it's in the red. And 268 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: I actually don't think this was a terrible movie. I 269 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: just think this movie didn't really find its audience. I 270 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: watched this movie and I enjoyed it, but I also 271 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: like the weirdest that is Nicolas Cage, and the movie 272 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: is very meta, so it was almost like, who exactly 273 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: is this movie going to appeal to if you're not 274 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: just a big Nicolas Cage fan. So I felt like 275 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: for that reason, it didn't really resonate with anybody else, 276 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: and unless you wanted to watch just a really odd 277 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: comedy centered around him, you weren't really telling other people 278 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: that you have to watch this movie, but I actually 279 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: don't think this is a bad movie. If you're a 280 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: fan of Nicolas Cage and missed this movie, I still 281 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: think you should check it out and decide for yourself. 282 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: At number eight is The Northman. The movie cost between 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: seventy and ninety million dollars to make. There was an 284 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: official reporting on that, but it only May sixty nine 285 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: nice point nine million dollars at the box office, and 286 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: I think that's the price you pay whenever you make 287 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: a movie with a lot of visual effects, a lot 288 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: of studying cinematography. This movie is based in mythology, so 289 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: it just kind of has that Game of Thrones look. 290 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be honest, when I see a movie 291 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: trailer like that, it's really hard for me to get 292 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: into it. It's hard for me to be excited and 293 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: put it on my list of movies I want to watch. 294 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: So that is not a movie that I would rush 295 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: to the theater to see. It's a movie that I 296 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: waited until later till I could watch it at home. 297 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: And that's just kind of the world we live in now. 298 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: I like that you can decide some movies weren't the 299 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: big screen. I feel a movie like this is more 300 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: a movie I want to watch at home and my 301 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: own pacing. But when you spend that much money on 302 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: a movie like this, you're really writing on it to 303 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: do well at the box office. But if you don't 304 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: generate the interest, people aren't going to see it. So 305 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: anytime I see a movie based in mythology, a period 306 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: piece movie, I just know those movies are going to struggle, 307 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: even though they can be good movies too. At number 308 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: seven is the Bob's Burgers movie, which costs thirty eight 309 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: million dollars to make and only made thirty four point 310 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: two million. That one hurts another movie that again, it's 311 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: not a bad movie. I just don't think a Bob's 312 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: Burgers movie was really going to rush people into the 313 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: movie theater. It's another movie I waited until it was 314 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: available for me to watch at home for free. But 315 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: I know it does have a dedicated fan base and 316 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: people really love that show, But I didn't feel as 317 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: invested of needing to see that movie in theaters. I 318 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: think it's also just a movie that probably would have 319 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: been a more natural fit to go straight onto streaming, 320 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: probably would have done a little bit better without having 321 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: to pay all of that money to get it in theaters, 322 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: because it's a niche market. It's the Bob's Burgers fans, 323 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: and you also have to get those fans into the theater. 324 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: And it also came out during the summer when a 325 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: lot of other big movies were happening. You had Top 326 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: Gun out in theaters, you had Jurassic Parks, so people 327 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: had to decide what to go watch. So maybe it 328 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: was like a counterprogramming thing, but as we see from 329 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: the numbers, didn't quite work out for them. At number 330 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: six was the movie Bros. Which costs twenty two million 331 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: dollars to make and only made fourteen point seven million dollars. 332 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: And I actually really enjoyed Bros. A lot. I thought 333 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: it was funny, maybe one of the funniest romantic comedies 334 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: I've seen in the last five years. And I think 335 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: the problem here is romantic comedies are really hard to 336 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: get people in the theaters to watch if you don't 337 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: have an A list actor to get them there. So 338 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: unless it's a movie like The Lost City where you 339 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: have Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock, or Ticket to Paradise 340 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: when you have Julia Roberts and George Clooney. It's hard 341 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: to make people care and go watch a romantic comedy 342 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: in theaters. Netflix is having more success because they don't 343 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: have that overhead of getting it into a theater. I 344 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: wish more people would have seen this movie because I 345 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: found it funny, but unfortunately, at the end of the day, 346 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: it the bomb. At number five is Serrao, which costs 347 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars to make and only made six point 348 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: four million. That is rough. I think this is another 349 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: case of a period movie that nobody cared about. At 350 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: number four was Amsterdam, which we were talking about. The 351 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: movie cost eighty million dollars to make and only made 352 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: thirty one million dollars. That is a major, major loss 353 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: for this movie with so many A list actors. And 354 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm not entirely convinced that this movie wasn't made in 355 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: order to just be a tax write out for all 356 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: these actors, because I believe after I did some digging 357 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: about this is if a movie like this does so poorly, 358 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: they can write it off as a loss in their income. 359 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: I just wondered, like, how can a movie like this 360 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: that is so bad at some point people just not 361 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: pull the plug on how does this movie actually come 362 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: out when it is so bad? At number three, This 363 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: one surprising to me is light Ear from Disney. It 364 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: costs two hundred million dollars to make and only made 365 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: two d and twenty six million dollars, so didn't really 366 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: recoup a whole lot of that. I actually enjoyed light 367 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: Year because it felt like a fun sci fi movie 368 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: to me. But I think what most people were expecting 369 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: was to see a continuation in the toy story world, 370 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: and that's not what this movie was. And then you 371 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: also had the y is Chris Evans the voice of 372 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: him and not Tim Allen, and people got angry for 373 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: no reason. I think Disney was just trying to do 374 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: something different in this origin story, but a lot of 375 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: those details really didn't make sense, and the movie got 376 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: pretty harshly criticized within the first couple of weeks, leading 377 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: to people not wanting to go see it. And this 378 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: is a movie I saw getting criticized before it was 379 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: even out, so that's hard going into a release week 380 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: which it saw some pretty harsh numbers. It's opening weekend, 381 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: I think one of the worst for Disney in a 382 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: very long time, and I thought this movie was going 383 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: to be a major hit, and even though I liked it, 384 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: I could kind of see that I don't think most 385 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: kids would like this movie. It felt more like a 386 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: movie geared towards the kids who have grown up since 387 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: the original Toy Story. It felt more like a Star 388 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: Wars sci fi movie than it did a toy story movie, 389 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: so you lose that charm of toy story and therefore 390 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: creates some lack of interest. And again it also had 391 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: some hard competition in the summer with other movies out 392 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: like Jurassic World and Top Gun Maverick, which just dominated. 393 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it was a 394 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: rough year for a lot of people. Had all this inflation. People, 395 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, we had to be very particular on what 396 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: we wanted to go spend our money on at the 397 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: movie theater, and for some people, as it shows, light 398 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: Year just wasn't it. At Number two was the disaster 399 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: film Moonfall, and you know, I love me a disaster movie. 400 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: So I did find some enjoyment in this, but it 401 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: was a flop over were all because it costs between 402 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: one thirty eight and forty six million and only made 403 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: sixties seven point three million. Dollars for lions Gay. That 404 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: is pretty bad, and this movie looked expensive, and I thought, 405 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: for the most part, it was a pretty decent disaster film. 406 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be cheesy, they're supposed to be ridiculous, 407 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: But this movie, I would say and agree that it 408 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: really fell off there in the third act, really fell 409 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: off in the ending and didn't match the rest of 410 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: the movie. The movie is about a group of astronauts 411 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: and some conspiracy theorists who try to save Earth after 412 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: they realized the moon is hurling towards it. And you 413 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: even had some a listeners in this one. You had 414 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: Halle Berry, Michael Benja. But I think it was all 415 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: the harsh reviews they had early on and people who 416 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: don't really get disaster movies that yes, the plot is 417 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: supposed to be unbelievable and ridiculous, but I think the 418 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: confusion is what turned people off more So. This was 419 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: a pretty big loss for lion Gate, losing them about 420 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty million dollars, and at number one 421 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: is a movie still out in theaters right now, the 422 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: computer animated Disney movie called Strange World. It costs between 423 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty and a hundred and eighty five 424 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: million dollars to make, and as I'm recording this podcast 425 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: has only made forty three million dollars worldwide, which is 426 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: a giant loss for Disney. What I think greatly led 427 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: to the flop of this movie was the marketing. I 428 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: didn't hear a whole lot about this movie, aside from 429 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: seeing the trailer back when I watched the movie during 430 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: the summer and I was like, Yeah, that looks all right. 431 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: But after that I heard nothing about it aside from 432 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: a clip I saw on TikTok between Jake Jillen Hall 433 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: and Dennis Quaid where they forgot they were in a 434 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: movie together. They forgot they were in the Day After Tomorrow. 435 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: That was really the only marketing I saw from Strange World. 436 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: I also think that title is pretty forgettable. It almost 437 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: feels like a working title, and the characters don't really 438 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: have any distinct qualities about them that made them memorable. 439 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: It just kind of felt like, here's another Disney movie 440 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 1: to come out. We'll put it out in November and 441 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: people will just go to see it around Thanksgiving, and 442 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: as we see, nobody really did. And I thought this 443 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: was another interesting decision for Disney. I don't really understand 444 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: their logic into what goes into theaters and what goes 445 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: on to Disney Plus, but I think ultimately they made 446 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: the wrong move here because they're gonna end up losing 447 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: about a hundred and forty million dollars on this movie. 448 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: So that is it. What I think are the worst 449 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: movies of the year and what has been proven to 450 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: be the biggest box office bombs of the year. If 451 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: you think another movie deserved to make the worst list, 452 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: let me know. Hit me up at Mike destro on Twitter, 453 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok, or shoot me an email movie Mike 454 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: d at gmail dot com. Let's get into our movie 455 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: review now. I want to talk about spoiler alert. I 456 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: got the tickets for this movie. I walked up to 457 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the guy who scans the tickets, and as he scans them, 458 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: he hands me a pack of tissues with the name 459 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: of the movie you written across from them. And I 460 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: felt like that was a bit ambitious. You go into 461 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: what is being dubbed as a sad movie and saying, 462 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: here are these tissues because you're gonna need them. That's 463 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: a bold statement, and for me, it's very hard to 464 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: cry in a movie. It's very hard for me to 465 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: even cry in real life. I wish I had that 466 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: emotion that would just come out of me, but it 467 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: just doesn't. And sometimes people ask me, like, what's a 468 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: good movie to make you cry? I don't know. I'm 469 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: terrible to ask that. So you hand me a pack 470 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: of tissues saying this movie is going to make me cry. 471 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold it to a little bit of a 472 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: higher standard. You're telling me that you've made that movie 473 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: that's gonna make me feel. Let's see about that. So 474 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: before I get into my full review, here is just 475 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: a little bit of the trailer from spoiler alert. What 476 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: is going on? Are you all right? Come down off 477 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: the ledge, Mike, I'm seeing Dr Tomorrow and Fat I'm 478 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: afraid the news isn't good Together, I was always afraid 479 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Kit would break my heart, and eventually he did. He 480 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: broke it open. So what this movie is about. It 481 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: is a love story. It is based on a real 482 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: life memoir by Michael Asilo, and he is a TV 483 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: writer and he is a founder of tv Line, which 484 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with. If you've searched out some stories about 485 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: TV shows, you probably read an article from TV Line, 486 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: and it's all about his relationship after finding the love 487 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: of his life, Kit. They spend fourteen years together and 488 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: then find out that Kit has cancer and then are 489 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: going through this journey together. So writing all of those 490 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: waves of emotions, and I always say, it's all about 491 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: the journey the characters go through. Even though you know 492 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: the ending. The movie is called spoiler alert. It's setting 493 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: you up knowing what's going to happen to the hero 494 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: in this story at the end, but it's all about 495 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: what happens in between, and the emotion is that you 496 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: feel from that. So me knowing that in the back 497 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: of my head what is going to happen didn't really 498 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: take away from it. If anything, it made me enjoy 499 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: it more because inside, as you see their relationship develop, 500 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: and as you see how their characters are depicted, you think, well, 501 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: maybe they change it up, maybe something else happens. So 502 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: that is kind of what you're hoping throughout the entire movie, 503 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: and it really does make you care about both of them. 504 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: And I think what really worked in this movie is 505 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: they did a really good job at depicting real life. 506 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: It just felt like that slice of life story that 507 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: I was looking for and oftentimes when you make a 508 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: romantic comedy romantic drama, everything feels like a fairy tale. 509 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: You fall in love, everything is great, and then in 510 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: this case, something bad happens and then all these other 511 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: things follow after that. But in this movie, not everything 512 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: is great throughout the entire movie. It shows the ups 513 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: and downs that you would have in a fourteen year relationship, 514 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: and I just felt like that added another level. It 515 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: gave these characters a little bit more depth that it 516 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: didn't feel like this superficial story. And I think it's 517 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: because it is based on a memoir. It is real life. 518 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: The entire story just felt more authentic. The movie is 519 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: directed by Michael show Walter, who also did a movie 520 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: that I really enjoyed called The Big Sick, and that's 521 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: probably what I would compare this movie to the most. 522 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: But he's also done things like The Eyes of Tammy Faye. 523 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: He directed some episodes of The Dropout, which is weird 524 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: to see him doing all these big dramas because I 525 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: know him from his Comedy Center show from back in 526 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: the day. Michael and Michael have issues, so in my head, 527 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: he is like this comedic guy, but to see him 528 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: take on all of these other projects. I'm really gaining 529 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: a lot of respect from Michael show Walter, so this 530 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: is another great step in his directing career. And then 531 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: you have Jim Parsons, who you mainly know as Sheldon 532 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: from The Big Bang Theory, which that show only ended 533 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: back in ten, so he's not that far removed from it. 534 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: And to have such a big iconic role under your 535 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: belt that everybody just knows you for. You see him, 536 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: you think Sheldon. A lot of actors who are known 537 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: for one role, especially when it comes to TV, have 538 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: a really hard time shaking that. But I have to say, 539 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: while watching Spoiler Alert, I didn't think of him as Sheldon. 540 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: I felt like he easily just transcends that character, so 541 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: I didn't find that distracting at all. I wasn't waiting 542 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: on him to say bazinga or anything like that. Although 543 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: his character is a little bit nerdy in this movie, 544 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: I feel like maybe that's just a little bit of 545 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: his personality. Aside from that, I didn't really associate him 546 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: with Sheldon at all. So I hope he gets the 547 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to do more roles like this and doesn't really 548 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: get typecast or just memorized as being Sheldon. You also 549 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: have Sally Field in this movie. If you need an 550 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: actor to go through all the highs and lows of 551 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: a drama like this, you get Sally Fields and she 552 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: just crushes this role. She is really perfect as the 553 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: mom in this movie. The other thing I really enjoyed 554 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: is because he is a TV writer. He writes about 555 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: TV shows, he interviews people. A lot of those TV 556 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: elements are put into this movie. So some of the 557 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: flashbacks from his childhood are him on a TV set. 558 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: They depicted as like a family sitcom, and you learn 559 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: more about him throughout these flashbacks in these scenes. I 560 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: thought that was a really nice touch to bring it 561 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: all together. It was kind of combining my love of 562 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,479 Speaker 1: movies and love for TV all into one movie. I 563 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: also love the hint of Christmas throughout this movie. Not 564 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: entirely a Christmas movie, but the holiday does play a 565 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: part into this story. So if you're looking for something 566 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: that's a little bit holiday ish, but not a full 567 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: on Christmas movie. So the question is did this movie 568 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: make me cry? I say that I have a heart 569 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: made of stone, and even if I watched the saddest 570 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: thing ever, it's very hard for me to cry, because 571 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to get that invested in it. But when 572 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: it came to spoiler alert, I got the closest I've 573 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: ever been to crying in a movie, probably since Avengers 574 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: End Game, which also isn't that long ago, but that 575 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: movie was, you know, ten plus years in the making. 576 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: I was going to feel emotional in that. Maybe got 577 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: little bit misty eyed during No Way Home. But outside 578 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: of like all these characters that I know from like 579 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: superhero movies, this is really the only movie to do 580 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: it based on the story, not based on anything else 581 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: that I came in with before. And there are some 582 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: scenes in this that really crush you. It's a very 583 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: what I feel like is the realistic depiction of somebody's 584 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: fight through cancer. And I'm fortunate enough that I haven't 585 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: had to face that with anyone in my family, but 586 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I've seen people around me go through it and know 587 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: it's a very difficult thing to say the least. And 588 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: there's one scene in this movie, particularly when the diagnosis 589 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: is revealed, and you don't even see the character react 590 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: on screen. It's just the sound that he makes after 591 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: that that really kind of gets you and makes it 592 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: feel more realistic. I found like this movie did that 593 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: a lot throughout. It was sometimes the silence or the 594 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: choice not to show certain things that were really powerful. 595 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: So shout out to director Michael Showalter for that nice 596 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: little touch in that. So the movie did make me 597 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: pretty emotional, and I will say it had one of 598 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: my favorite uses of a song in a movie in 599 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: the last five years. I am a big fan of 600 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: sad music. When I looked at my top genre of two, 601 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: it was just sad, Like that's all I listened to. 602 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: When I'm sitting here at this desk working on things, 603 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I just listened to sad music. And one of my 604 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: favorite artists ever is Julian Baker, and she put out 605 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: an album back in called Sprained Ankle, and I remember 606 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: listening to this album over and over again and thought, 607 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: if I ever make a movie, I'm gonna put one 608 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: of these songs in the saddest scene of the movie. 609 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: And spoiler Alert did that. They used the title track 610 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: Sprained Ankle in one of the saddest montages in this 611 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: movie and it worked perfectly. So the soundtrack just took 612 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: this movie on another level for me. And this was 613 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: also a movie I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much 614 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: as I did it. Honestly, it was a movie that 615 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: my wife was more interested in watching. But I'm glad 616 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to see it because I think the trailer 617 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: didn't really do it justice. It was all those little 618 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: details in between that make the story. Yes, it is 619 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: sad and emotional, but there's just so much more there 620 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: that I hope more people go and check out this movie. 621 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: So for spoiler alert, I give it four out of 622 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: five tissues. There were moments in this movie where the 623 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: entire theater got quiet and I could just hear people sniffling. 624 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: So if you're in need of a good cry, check 625 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: out spoiler Alert. It's time to head down to movie 626 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: Mike Trail or Paul. Another Marvel trilogy is coming to 627 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: an end. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three will be 628 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: the final chapter in this saga, and this movie. I 629 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: feel like it's going to be the most emotional chapter yet. 630 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: So before I get into what I think about the 631 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, here is just a 632 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: little bit of the preview. We were gone for quite 633 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: a while, but no matter what happens next, the Galaxy 634 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: still needs its Guardians. We have been running our whole lives, Pete, 635 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm done running Willow fly Away together one last time. 636 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: I think the ultimate thing a Marvel movie can do 637 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: is get you in the fields in the trailer. The 638 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: only other Marvel movie that has done that recently was 639 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: Wakonda Forever, and that movie, of course, is on an 640 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: entirely different level. But I think, like Black Panther, Guardians 641 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: of the Galaxy is in that same realm of it 642 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: feels entirely different from everything else in the m c 643 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: U and doesn't really get enough recognition when it comes 644 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: to how emotional all these movies are. Because they are funny, 645 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: they have a great soundtrack, they have a really great 646 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: cat best, but the Guardians of the Galaxy movie also 647 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: take you on an emotional roller coaster learning about Peter 648 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: Quill and all the things he's gone through. I felt 649 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: like they've really developed his character throughout all of the movies, 650 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: and in this movie it looks like we're going to 651 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: get more backstory from some of the characters, including Rocket Raccoon, 652 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: who is one of the best Marvel characters, and he's 653 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: so witty and raw and honest. In all the movies, 654 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: and kind of the jerk. But there are just some 655 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: moments where you get a little bit of Rocket Raccoon 656 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: and you think, oh man, he is this more in 657 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: depth character, and I feel like we're gonna get some 658 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: good backstory on him here. And even in this trailer 659 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: you see little baby Rocket Raccoon, kind of like we 660 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: saw a baby group, and you know from watching The Mandalorian, 661 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: whenever you have a baby something, it's going to be good. 662 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: So all of the original cast is back. You have 663 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: James Gunn back directing this movie. He directed the other 664 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: two movies. He's also done movies like The Suicide Squad. 665 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: He did Peacemaker on HBO Max, so he is involved 666 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: in the Marvel side and the d C side. I 667 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: think having him behind this movie was very important and 668 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of what Ryan Coogler is doing with Black Panther, 669 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: I feel like he is doing with Guardians of the Galaxy. 670 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: He is making it his own and he puts a 671 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: lot of himself into these movies, and that is why 672 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: I think they are so successful and so distinct. And 673 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: in this movie, it looks like they go to this 674 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: whole new planet. They are on this new spaceship that 675 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: looks pretty dope. It's called the Bowie and on this 676 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: planet they find these animal hybrids, so they look like humans, 677 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: but they also look like animals. So I feel like 678 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: they're going on this journey kind of going back to 679 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: some of their roots. Maybe this is where Rocket Raccoon 680 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: came from. He's going to see some people he used 681 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: to know and hit you on that emotional level. And 682 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: it's that line in the trailer that makes me think 683 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: somebody is going to die in this movie, if not 684 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 1: more than one person, but when they say we'll all 685 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: fly away together one last time into the forever and 686 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: beautiful sky. So if I had to speculate what character, 687 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: I think it's going to die, probably Drags. I think 688 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: the Instagram post that Batista did after they wrapped filming 689 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: on this movie, it felt very final for him. And 690 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: I know it was already stated that this was going 691 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: to be the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 692 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: this franchise, but I felt like he was saying goodbye 693 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: to that character. Because they didn't say that the characters 694 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't go on to be in the m c U 695 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: and some other capacity, maybe star Lord Rocket Raccoon and 696 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: go into the thor movies or maybe even the Avengers 697 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: movies down the line. But I felt like his post 698 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,959 Speaker 1: was really saying goodbye to this character the last time 699 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: he will ever play Drags, So that could mean that 700 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: his character dies in this movie. But from the level 701 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: of emotion in this seeing the villains in this trailer, 702 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: I feel like even more people could die. And if 703 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,479 Speaker 1: it feels like that really big ending of them doing 704 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: something big and triumphant, I feel like you go out 705 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: on that note of saying goodbye to more characters. This 706 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: franchise has said goodbye in the past is some characters 707 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: and led to some pretty emotional moments, So I think 708 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: oddly this franchise started out to be the comic relief 709 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: and the fun anything Goes franchise in the m c U, 710 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: but I think it's had some of the more emotional 711 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: moments out of any of the movies, and a lot 712 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: of moments that are just memorable. When all the other 713 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: m c U movies kind of get little confusing on 714 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: what happened in what movie, these movies continue to feel 715 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: very distinct, So I credit James Gunn to that in 716 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: the trailer, we just get little glimpses of the villains. 717 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: You have Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary. You see 718 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: them on this kind of weird, fleshy looking monster with 719 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: hair growing out of it, So it looks like it 720 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: goes into a pretty weird direction as far as the 721 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: villains and whatever they're trying to defeat in this But 722 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: you also have some really bright fun colors, which I 723 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 1: also always loaded about the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. 724 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: They have this very neon cosmic color palette that plays 725 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: very well into all the eighties music in the soundtrack, 726 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: So it looks like we'll get more of that in 727 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: this movie. And Guarding into the Galaxy. Volume three hits 728 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: theaters May five. Will it make us cry? Yeah? Probably 729 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: was this week's edition of Movie bar and that's gonna 730 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: do it for another episode here on the podcast.
