My top ten 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: most anticipated movies of two. Will break these down, give 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: you all the release states pending any further delays, which 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to, but we'll get into all that. 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: I have a spoiler free movie review for you, as always. 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: In the Trailer Park is a new disaster movie that 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: I have some concerns about. Thanks for listening to the podcast. 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: Shout out to the movie crew. If you're listening on 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: a Monday, you already know what it is. Let's go. 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 14 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like walking on MTV with glasses. 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: From the Nashville Podcast Network is Movie Movie Podcast. I 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: think two is going to be a year for movies, 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: and I don't think we've had a great year for 20 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: movies since twenty nine. Of course, changed the world completely, 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: and it turns out one really wasn't the bounce back 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: I was expecting. We really didn't get any big blockbusters 23 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: until summer. But NOWE I have some pretty big expectations 24 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: all these movies on this list. Just by these top 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: ten alone, I think it's gonna be a great year 26 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: for movies. And I'm recording this the week of January tenth, 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: so at the time, these are all current release states. 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: If you're listening later, maybe some of these have changed, 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: hopefully not. But let's get right into the list. At 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: number ten, I am going with the new Jordan Peele 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: movie called Nope, coming out on July two. I'm a 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: big fan of Jordan Peel's work. I think he really 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: won me over with get Out, which was a really 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: great suspense horror movie that came out back in twenty seventeen, 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: and since then he's also given us Us that came 36 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: out in twenty nineteen, and now two he has his 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: new third full feature and there's really not a whole 38 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: lot of details about this movie yet aside from the poster, 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: but given a great track record that he has to 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: get Out in US, I just love the mind of 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Peele. I love the vision that he has in 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: his movies. I love the one word titles, so I 43 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: almost like when you don't know a whole lot of 44 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: details about a movie, but going into it knowing that 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: you love the director, knowing that you love their style. 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: And I'm just a big fan of horror movies. I 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: can't wait to see this movie and hear more about it. 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: So at number ten, I'm going with nope. At number 49 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: nine is a movie that was supposed to come out 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: on July twelve. It's been delayed so much. I think 51 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: this was even on my list last year. But at 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: number nine, I'm putting Top Gun to Maverick, which is 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: coming out on May two. Like I said, it was 54 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: supposed to come out on twenty nineteen, that got postponed 55 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: to June twenty and then was supposed to come out 56 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: in one and is now hopefully coming out in two. 57 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: And for me, I'm not even the biggest Top Gun fan. 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: I would go as far to say is I'm really 59 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: not a fan and of any Tom Cruise movie, to 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: be honest, But knowing how much he put into this 61 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: movie to make it great and to make a sequel 62 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: to a movie like Top Gun, That's why I'm interested 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: in it. I'm curious to see how well this movie 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: plays out. And I asked this question on Twitter and Facebook, 65 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of you agree with me. 66 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Is you're wanting to see this movie. We've been waiting 67 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: to see it for so long, to the point to 68 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: where I wondered if this movie even still existed, and 69 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: just knowing the kind of person that Tom Cruise is 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: when he's making a movie, he goes to extreme lengths 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: to his own stunts. He learned how to fly the 72 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: planes in this movie to make it seem more realistic, 73 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: and the training that the actors went through to make 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: this movie as realistic as possible. I'm looking forward to 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: seeing that. And from the trailers that I've seen, the 76 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: cinematography looks pretty groundbreaking on this movie. It really looks 77 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: like it's gonna make you feel like you're in that 78 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: setting there with the characters. So I also think that 79 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: is why they have delayed this movie so much, is 80 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: because it does warrant the big screen, and also, as 81 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: a Tom cruisees ego, he wants it to be a 82 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: blockbusters success internationally, and he wants the most people to 83 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: be able to see it and go to the movies. 84 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: He's a big proponent of that, so it looks like 85 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: he will end up getting his way on this release again. 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: That comes out on MAO, so that would be a 87 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: big summer release, and I'm putting that one at number nine. 88 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: At number eight, I'm going with The Flash, which is 89 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: coming out on November four. And if it wasn't for 90 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: me watching the Snyder cut of Justice League over the break, 91 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have put this on my list. But 92 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: I finally had time to watch that movie, and I 93 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: remember when I saw the Justice League in theater when 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: it first came out. The Flash was really the only 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: new character that I was excited about. I was already 96 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: into Wonder Woman because of her cameo and Batman versus Superman, 97 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: but he was the new character that came from Justice 98 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: League that I was like, Oh, that's actually like a 99 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: fun character, has a cool superpower, a portrayal of that. 100 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: It's almost like d C. Spider Man in a way. 101 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: And after watching the Snyder cut of Justice League, which 102 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: I was really kind of hesitant to watching, I put 103 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: it off for a very long time because I didn't 104 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: want to watch a four hour long movie. But it 105 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: was able to flesh out the characters a lot more 106 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: than I was expecting the Flash included, So coming off 107 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: of watching that and anticipating and seeing some things I'm 108 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: seeing around this movie, like Michael Keaton cast is Bruce Wayne, 109 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: I think this will be a very critical step for 110 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: d C and their success kind of going into this year. 111 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: And I think if they're able to make the Flash 112 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: work and for audiences to like to Flash, that would 113 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: be a pretty big win for them. So I'm curious 114 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: to see how this one plays out. So at number eight, 115 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Flash. At number seven, I'm going 116 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: with a very anticipated sequel for a lot of reasons, 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: and it is Black Panther Waconda Forever, coming out on 118 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: November eleven, and I think, above everything, this movie is 119 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: going to have a very big emotional connection with people 120 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: because of the passing of Chadwick Boseman and the decision 121 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: to not recast anybody to play Black Panther, instead focusing 122 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: on the character of a sister in the movie. So 123 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: I really want to see how they addressed that in 124 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: the movie, what villains they will bring into the movie, 125 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: but above all, to see if it kind of meets 126 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: up to the standard that Black Panther created, the critical 127 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: acclaimed that it acquired after it came out, and now 128 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: being kind of noted as one of Marvel's most respected franchises. 129 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm really hoping the movie does well. Can't wait to 130 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: see this one, so I put it at number seven. 131 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: At number six is maybe a movie you didn't think 132 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: I would put on this list because I'm not really 133 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: that big of a fan of it. I think the 134 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: first one is actually one of the most overrated movies 135 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: of all time. But at number six, I'm going with 136 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: Avatar Too, from director James Cameron, coming out on December six, 137 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: And the reason I put that on my list is 138 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: because I'm just curious to see how a sequel does. 139 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: That comes thirteen years after of a movie that really 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: changed the landscape of film back in two nine when 141 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: it came out because it did, you know, use some 142 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: different technology. Three D really became a thing after Avatar 143 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: and above the story above, the characters like that just 144 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: all really meant nothing to me in that movie. It 145 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: was the visual aspect of Avatar which made it so successful. 146 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Because I think here, thirteen years after, it's not really 147 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: a movie people want to go back and watch. I 148 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: rarely hear anybody talking about Oh I randomly put on 149 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: Avatar the other day. That doesn't really happen. So that 150 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: kind of came and win. Three D was a real 151 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: trendy thing, a real kind of a fat of filmmaking 152 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: for a while. But I haven't seen a three D 153 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: movie in a very long time. I never really got 154 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: into it. So here in a movie that was so 155 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: record breaking because of the technology used, you come out 156 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: with a sequel thirteen years later, which is a weird 157 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: time to come out with the sequel. You either have 158 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: to have it, I feel like a few years after 159 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: or like way way later, kind of like top Gun 160 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: to where people are like, oh, yeah, I remember that movie. Um, 161 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: I really want to see a sequel Like this is 162 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: kind of at a weird time to where it's not 163 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: super recent, but it's also like not a nostalgia thing. 164 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: So I'm just curious to see how Avatar to performs 165 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: at the box office. That's why I'm anticipating this one. 166 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: I just want to see if it even meets up 167 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: to that first one, if people even care about this anymore. 168 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: And I am kind of predicting that it's going to fail. 169 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: Living up to that same hype. The only thing I 170 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: feel like Avatar two has going for it is the 171 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: release date. Coming out around the holidays, it's the big 172 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: time where people are going to the movie theater. It's 173 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: also a big time for Oscar Worthy movies. I think 174 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: I'll have a little bit more of a gauge once 175 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: the trailer for Avatar two comes out and seeing what 176 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: it looks like. But at number six, one of my 177 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: most anticipated movies of the year is Avatar to getting 178 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: into the top five now. I think the reason this 179 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: one is made my top five is because it's coming 180 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: off of Spider Man No Way Home and a Number 181 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: five is Doctor Strange Into the Multiverse of Madness, coming 182 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: out on May six, directed by Sam Raimi, who did 183 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: the original Spider Man trilogy with Toby maguire and before 184 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: whenever Marvel announced all of its big movies coming out 185 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: over the next few years. I remember seeing Doctor Strange 186 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Into the Multiverse of Madness and not being excited at 187 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: all about this movie. I just haven't been the biggest 188 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: fan of Doctor Strange. I thought him in the Avengers 189 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: movies was alright, solo film, nothing really to write home about. 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: But seeing him in Spider Man No Way Home and 191 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: how he connects that story into this movie. I'm a 192 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: lot more excited about this one. And this is the 193 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: first movie I've seen that's taken not only for movies 194 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: in the m c U, but also from the Disney 195 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: plus Marvel shows. And having Spider Man No Way Home 196 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: as a lead into this movie really kind of helps 197 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: build a hype around It helps people who maybe haven't 198 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: seen the original Doctor Strange, like me, aren't the biggest 199 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: fan of his character, want to see this movie. So 200 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: at number five, I'm going with Doctor Strange into the 201 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: Multiverse of Madness. At number four is a movie that 202 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: I think will really play on my heart strings and 203 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: I'll feel like a kid again watching this movie. And 204 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: it is a light Year starring Chris Evans, coming out 205 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: on June seventeen, and there's a lot of reasons I'm 206 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: excited about this movie. I think they are fully done 207 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: making what we know as Toy Story movies. They should 208 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: have ended it at Toy Story three would have been perfect, 209 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: but we got Toy Story four just kind of just 210 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: the epilogue on the entire franchise. But now we're seeing 211 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: movies inside of the Toy Story universe, but completely their 212 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: own stories, and that's what this one is about. You 213 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: have Chris Evans voicing buzz light Year, and it's not 214 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: the toy. This is instead they described it as this 215 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: is the movie that Andy from Toy Story watched that 216 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: made him want to own a buzz Lightyear toy. So 217 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: it's based on buzz Lightyear the person, not Buzz Lightyear 218 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: the toy, which is why it's not voiced by Tim Allen. 219 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: And this movie has been described as a love letter 220 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: to sci fi. It's said to pull a lot of 221 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: inspiration from Star Wars, and if you take a character 222 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: like buzz light Year inside of this Toy Story, world 223 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: member Zurg and all these other cool sci fi elements 224 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: that have only been toys up to now, you get 225 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: really the makings of a great animated sci fi story. 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: And I love that they have Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear. 227 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: I think he will bring a lot of life to 228 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: the character. And if a Buzz Lightyear prequel proved to 229 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: be successful, maybe we get a woody prequel and who 230 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: knows other characters from Toy Story, But at number four, 231 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm going with light Year coming out on June. All right, 232 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: coming up next, I'll give be my top three most 233 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: anticipated movies of two and also a bunch of honorable 234 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: mentions because there's really a lot of great movies coming 235 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: out this year. We'll do that after this. All right, 236 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: back here with my top three most anticipated movies of 237 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: two and at number three is spider Man Across the 238 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: Spider Verse Part one. Now, spider Man Into the Spider 239 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: Verse was one of my favorite theater experiences in a 240 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: very long time, because, if you know by listening to 241 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: this podcast, Spider Man is my favorite superhero and I 242 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: felt like watching Spider Man Into the Spider Verse was 243 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: like seeing my nerdiest, wildest dreams of Spider Man as 244 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: a kid, and what a Spider Man movie could be 245 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: really come to life. And that movie really kind of 246 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: changed what I come to expect from an animated movie, 247 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: what I come to expect from any kind of superhero story, 248 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: and really made me feel more connected to a Spider 249 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Man origin story than I've really ever been, and it's 250 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: why it's my favorite Spider Man movie personally. So I'm 251 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: really excited to see how they continue this story, how 252 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: they choose to build out this entire world because I 253 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: almost feel like it's a really big playground where anything 254 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: can happen. There are no rules of what characters you 255 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: can incorporate, of what storyline you have to follow. There's 256 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: no expectations set of what a Spider Man movie should be. 257 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: And I feel like this movie is really for the fans, 258 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: like the hardcore fans of Spider Man and the hardcore 259 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: fans of animation and at the core of Spider Man 260 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: into the Spider Verse. It's just a really good movie 261 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: that you can watch over and over again. So this 262 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: one comes out on October seven, and I hope it 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: is everything we're wanting it to be. At number two 264 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: is another movie that was supposed to come out last year, 265 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: but as of now, I've been following on socials and 266 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: all the news. It looks like it is all good 267 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: to go for February four, and it is Jackass Forever Now. 268 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: Jackass premiered on MTV back in two thousands, and I 269 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: was nine years old and it completely changed how I 270 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: view comedy. And I was thinking about this, and I 271 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: think Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass screw don't get enough 272 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: credit for what they bring to comedy and how Jackass 273 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: and the movie franchise really changed Internet humor and really 274 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: changes what we find funny. Like they are the o 275 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: g s when it comes to pranks, when it comes 276 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: to doing stupid things that harm yourself. But at the 277 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: heart of Jackass, what I loved about them and their 278 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: pranks and their takes on humor is it all was 279 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,239 Speaker 1: geared towards making fun of themselves, to inflicting paint on themselves, 280 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: sometimes just getting reactions out of people. It was never 281 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: hurtful anyway, or like these dumb YouTube pranks where it's like, oh, 282 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: I just punched you in the face, but at the 283 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: prank because I'm filming good for YouTube like that. It's 284 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: nothing like that. And what I loved when they switched 285 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: from Jackass the TV shows to Jackass the movies is 286 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: they were able to do whatever they want completely uncensored. 287 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: But not only that, the Jackass movies really tear down 288 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: any rules when it comes to filmmaking. It's straight up 289 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: skit after skit after skit, and it's hilarious, but it 290 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have to follow up plu online. When you watch 291 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: a Jackass movie, it's unlike watching anything else, and it's 292 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: an experience in theaters where you're laughing with other people, 293 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: where you're cringing with other people. I mean, just is 294 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: a really fun time. And I know the stars of 295 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: Jackass just kept getting asked over and over and over, 296 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: will you make another movie? We make another movie now 297 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: that you're older, And I love that they're going through 298 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: with this being in their forties and their fifties. In 299 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: a way, I feel like they kind of adapted to that. 300 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: They also brought in some new cast members to be 301 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: a part of it, and I was watching a trailer 302 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: for it and seeing the new cast members, and it's 303 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: so cool to see people like me who grew up 304 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: watching them on MTV and watching the movies now being 305 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: a part of it and hanging out with them and 306 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: seeing these larger than life characters and doing dumb things 307 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: with them while making a movie. I feel like that 308 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: aspect to it is really good to kind of bring 309 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: it full circle for me while watching this movie. So 310 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: at number two coming out next month on February four, 311 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm going with Jackass forever. And at number one is 312 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: a movie. With every clip I see of it, everything 313 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: I read about it, I get more and more excited 314 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: about it. And it is The Batman, coming out on 315 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: March fourth, and this looks like a Batman movie unlike 316 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: one we've ever seen before. I know people would argue 317 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: that it kind of looks like the Christopher Nolan, darker, 318 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: grittier Batman, but the vibe I get from watching the 319 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: trailers to The Batman, not only does it have this darker, 320 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: grittier tone, I feel like Batman, the character himself in 321 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: this movie, played by Robert Pattinson, almost doesn't even have 322 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: like a hero vibe. And that's what I'm hoping comes 323 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: out of The Batman is it doesn't feel like a 324 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: comic book movie, doesn't feel like a superhero movie. From 325 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: what I've seen, it almost looks like Batman isn't as 326 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: beloved in this story. It looks like the storyline focuses 327 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more on people questioning his status as 328 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: a vigilante. And the villains in this movie don't feel 329 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: as comic book to me. You know, I felt like 330 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: Joker and Bain were a lot larger than live characters, 331 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: but in this movie, the Penguin and the Riddler have 332 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: almost more of a realistic feel to them, like they're 333 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: just crazy people that could be living in our world now, 334 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: and I really like the style of how they look 335 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: in this movie, and not only that, it looks a 336 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: lot more violent. You didn't really get a whole lot 337 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: of blood in the Dark Knight trilogy, but I'm kind 338 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: of feeling that here. I'm feeling like we could see 339 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: Batman actually take out some people. I know killing is 340 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: not necessarily his thing, but I'm kind of getting this 341 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: tormented vibe from the way Robert Pattinson looks in this 342 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: but once against the official rating they're saying PG thirteen, 343 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: But man, if this movie ends up being right at 344 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: our I could definitely see it going there. The movie 345 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm most anticipating this year is The Batman on March fourth, 346 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 1: but there are really some other great movies coming out 347 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: this year that also in my honorable mentions. Also from Marvel, 348 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: you have thor Love and Thunder coming out on July eight. 349 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: You have Jared Letto as More Bious, which is supposed 350 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: to come out this month on the twenty, but has 351 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: now been delayed until April one. I can't wait to 352 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: see what universe that movie falls into. Another movie from 353 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: d C with the Rock Black Adam comes out on 354 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: July nin The Rock got super ripped up for that movie. 355 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: If you follow him on Instagram, he went to very 356 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: extreme links to look like a ripped up superhero. And 357 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: that's saying a lot from somebody at the stature of 358 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: the Rock already, But I think that one could be good. 359 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Martin Scorsesey has a movie coming out this year, hopefully 360 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: Killers of the Flower Moon with Leonardo DiCaprio. You have 361 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: the new Screen movie coming out this Friday, Sonic the 362 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: Hedgehog two on April eight. Jurassic World Dominion comes out 363 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: on June, which is always a fun summer franchise. You 364 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: have the Elvis movie with Tom Hanks coming out on June. 365 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible seven coming out on September could be a 366 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: very big year for Tom Cruise that both of his 367 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: movies come out on time. And then you also have 368 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Halloween Ends coming out on October. I wasn't the biggest 369 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: fan of Halloween Kills, and I feel like they probably 370 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: made both of these movies at the exact same time, 371 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: but hopefully Halloween Ends is the better half. I'm just 372 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: such a big Michael Myers fans that's a big fan 373 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: of the original Halloween that I have to see every 374 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: Michael Myers movie. And above all, I'm just happy that 375 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: we have a lot of new movies coming out in May. 376 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: Everyone's box office numbers match the anticipation. There's another movie 377 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: you're excited to see this year. Just send me a 378 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: tweet at Mike Destro, comment on my Facebook page, or 379 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: send me an email movie Mike d at gmail dot com. 380 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I want to get into a spoiler free movie review. Now, 381 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: let's talk about Liquorice Pizza to the new coming of 382 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: age comedy drama starring Alana Heim and Cooper Hoffman, who 383 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: was actually the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I have 384 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: a lot of opinions about this movie. I've never felt 385 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: so con linked while watching a movie. And before I 386 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: get into my full review, here's just a little bit 387 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: of the trailer. So, how did you become such a 388 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: hotshot action showman? That's what I'm meant to do. Our 389 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: Rhodes took us here. They're not my director. Do you 390 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: really want to see my boobs? Can touch them? See tomorrow. 391 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: So what this movie is about Alana Heim's character who 392 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with her, she is a member 393 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: of the Rock band him and here's a little bit 394 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: of their song, Little of Your Love. She plays a 395 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: five year old woman who meets this fifteen year old 396 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: kid played by Cooper Hoffman, and he is this up 397 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and coming actor. He's been in like this famous production 398 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: of this TV show. And they meet at school. She 399 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: is working for this company who does photographs and takes 400 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: like your book photos for the school, and they developed 401 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: this relationship where he likes her and she kind of 402 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: plays into it. And it's that's why I felt so 403 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: conflicted of watching this movie, because she states that she 404 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: is at least twenty five years old, and she clearly 405 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: knows that he is fifteen years old. Now, the relationship 406 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: in the movie is him trying to win her over 407 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: him trying to get Alana Heim's character to like him. 408 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: And I just felt a little bit conflicted about the 409 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: age gap, because while the movie does a good job 410 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: at portraying, you know and otherwise taking out age out 411 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: of it. It's a good love story, it's just weird 412 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: to say. It was hard for me to root for 413 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: them because of that age gap. And I know it's 414 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: said in the seventies, and I know as I watched 415 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: the movie play out. It almost seems innocent enough, but 416 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: it's still that's what it is, that the ten year 417 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: age gap between these two character terrs. So while I 418 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: enjoyed the comedic aspect of it, it was just hard 419 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: for me to be fully invested in that part of 420 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: the movie. What I did really enjoy about this movie 421 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: was one the aesthetic of it. I watched it in 422 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: thirty five millimeter, which, if you're not familiar with film formats, 423 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: it's basically what the vinyl experience is to music for movies, 424 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: and this movie was originally shot in thirty five millimeter, 425 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 1: which has been around forever. It's basically like was the 426 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: standard back in the day when you're shooting on film, 427 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: and now it's kind of kind of like vinyl is. 428 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: Like people who are really hardcore about making movies and 429 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: sticking to that aesthetic, people like Quentin Tarantino or in 430 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: this case, Paul Thomas Anderson who directed Liquorice Pizza. It's 431 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: really valuing how your movie is shot and also how 432 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: it's shown. And what I kind of took away from 433 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: watching this movie is I was just almost more interested 434 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: in the aesthetic of this movie, and the reason I 435 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: really wanted to go watch it was mainly because how 436 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: it looked, and when you watch something in thirty five millimeter, 437 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: it feels very warm. You see the grain on the screen, 438 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: you see the crackling. At one point I was looking 439 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: for it and I noticed when they switched from one 440 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: reel to the next, because there's a little bit of 441 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: like jitter on the screen. So the movie nerd in 442 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: Me and the film nerd in Me really love that 443 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: aspect of it. Now, that's all due to Paul Thomas Anderson, 444 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: who directed this. He's also actually directed a lot of 445 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: music videos for him, which is a lot of reason 446 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: of the casting of Allana Heim and also her sisters. 447 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: The other members of him are also featured in this movie, 448 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: and their parents. The thing I didn't like about this movie, 449 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: aside from the questionable relationship, was for such an indie 450 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: feeling movie, for such a you know, kind of just 451 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: a slice of life movie, it was pretty long at 452 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: two hours in thirteen minutes, and it felt two hours 453 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: and thirteen minutes. I felt like in the last twenty 454 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: minutes I was like, Okay, we can kind of wrap 455 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: this thing up. It's just hard when a movie that 456 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: kind of has such a slow pace as this movie 457 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: does continues to go on and on and on. I 458 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: feel this way when I watch Judd Apatel movies. It 459 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: almost feels like a little self serving to the director 460 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: to keep you there that long. I don't know, it's 461 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: kind of Paul Thomas Anderson's thing. He has made nine 462 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: feature films and only two of those come in at 463 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: under two hours. So for this one. If this movie 464 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: would have been an hour forty five an hour fifty max, 465 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: I probably would have liked it a lot more. But 466 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: aside from that, it is a fun movie. I thought 467 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: they captured the seventies in Los Angeles pretty well. It 468 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: almost romanticized that period of time, and it really captured 469 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: kind of the feeling what it would be like living 470 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles in those times. It kind of reminded 471 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: me also a little bit of Once Upon a Time 472 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, even though that movie was said in nineteen 473 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: sixty nine. I almost felt like I was watching Once 474 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: Upon a Time in Hollywood crossed with Napoleon Dynamite. It 475 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: just had that kind of feel to me. And then 476 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: I really loved that a lot of actors in this 477 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: were unknown actors. For some of them, their very first 478 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: time acting like the leads alta Heim and Cooper Hoffman, 479 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: but then had like this splash of a list actors 480 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: with Bradley Cooper, whose character was pretty hilarious. His whole 481 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: plot line in the movie was probably my favorite, and 482 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: Sean Penn also had a pretty good part in the movie. 483 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: So when it comes down to it, I did like 484 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: this movie, but I don't think it's for everybody. And 485 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: I know I'm in a very kind of indie Oscar 486 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: season right now, so unless you're super into those kinds 487 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: of movies, I don't think this is the movie for you. 488 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: And again, it was just so hard to be fully 489 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: invested in this movie given that age gap. It's just 490 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: a weird feeling when you forget that and you're just 491 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: taking it in for the movie that it is the 492 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: relationship to portraying. You're like, oh, I hope this works 493 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: out in the end, and you're only wait a minute, no, 494 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: that's illegal. So I probably would have rated this a 495 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: little bit higher if they would have just given them 496 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: normal ages in a normal relationship, But then you wouldn't 497 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: have this movie. So what I would give Licorice pizza 498 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: is three at a five pinball machines. It's still in 499 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: theaters now, but if you really wanted to see it, 500 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: you could probably just wait till you can rent it 501 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: or stream it online. So that's my review of the movie. 502 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: And I do want to mention that I was recently 503 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: rejected by Rotten Tomatoes again and appreciate everybody with the 504 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: comments online. If you want to see my rejection email, 505 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: I actually tweeted it out on my Twitter at mikedistro, 506 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: just to show you know, sometimes you got to share 507 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: your your fails and your losses in life. And this 508 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: has been the second time I'd applied to Rotten Tomatoes. 509 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: And the real reason they gave me is that I 510 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: didn't have a big enough body of work. I haven't 511 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: been doing something for what they describe as needing two 512 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: years of reviewing experience. I've been doing this podcast now 513 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: for over two years. I've also on the Bobby Bones Show, 514 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: been reviewing movies since I started in Nashville back in 515 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: so I almost feel like they didn't look at my application. 516 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: And for me, it's not even the biggest goal of 517 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: like wanting to be a Rotten Tomatoes critic. I mean, 518 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: I have this podcast where I do my reviews and 519 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: I share them with you. I have you guys here, 520 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: So it's kind of just been that Raw Tomatoes was 521 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: like the first thing that really inspired me to review movies. 522 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: It's the reason I started reviewing them on Snapchat and 523 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: Instagram back in the day, which eventually evolved into me 524 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: starting this podcast. And I think for me, I would 525 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: just like to be able to contribute to that number 526 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: for all the movies I watch, you know, that percentage score, 527 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: which I know a lot of people who don't listen 528 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: to this podcast or you want to see another movie 529 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: that you're gonna check out, like we go to Rotten 530 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: Tomatoes sometimes, and I think it would just be cool 531 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: to add that other level of having some credibility to 532 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: this podcast, to be unapproved Rotten Tomatoes critic. But I 533 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: guess this year is in my year. They said I 534 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: could submit again in September, so I will. Maybe after 535 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: doing this podcast for almost three years, they'll accept me. 536 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: But thanks everybody for the support on that, Thanks everybody 537 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: for the comments and the tweets. I'm just here to say, 538 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: don't give up on your dreams. If you don't get 539 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: invited to the party, just throw your own party. All 540 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: right now, it's time for the part of the podcast 541 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: where I break down movie trailers of movies coming to 542 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: you very soon in theaters and on streaming, in a 543 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: segment we call it's time to head down to movie 544 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: Mike Trail Laura Paul and this episode has been very 545 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: focused on new movies. So there's only one trailer I 546 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: really want to share with you this week, and it's 547 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: a movie called Moonfall, which is in the disaster film category, 548 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: which I feel is a very underrated category. And I'll 549 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: get into that all here in a second, but here's 550 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: just a little bit of Moonfall, which is a movie 551 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: about an astronaut and a conspiracy theorist traveling into outer 552 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: space to stop the Moon from crashing into the Earth. Yes, 553 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: that's what it's about. Here's a little bit of Moonfall. 554 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 1: I needed to get me in touch with NASA immediately. Well, 555 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: NASA and I aren't really on speaking terms these days. 556 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: That will change when you tell them that the moon 557 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: is out of all the snow. Need to panic, No crazy, 558 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: Why are they lying about all this? It's too late 559 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: to stop. OK. So, immediately after watching this trailer, I 560 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: kind of thought it was a twin film of Don't 561 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: Look Up, which a twin film is. Whenever Hollywood rushes 562 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: to put out basically the exact same movie around the 563 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: same time. We see this a lot, and they're competing 564 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: to get you know, the box office numbers to get 565 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: it out there first, so obviously and Don't Look Up, 566 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: you have the comic coming towards Earth, and here it's 567 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 1: kind of the same thing, but with the moon. The 568 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: difference about this movie, I feel it leans a little 569 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: bit away from like the satirical look and that kind 570 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: of comedy to kind of more of the disaster film 571 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: element with a little bit of comedy too. And the 572 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: reason I feel disaster movies are underrated is because they're 573 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: not really meant to be taken that seriously. They're almost 574 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: like a guilty pleasure category for me. Movies I don't 575 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: expect to go into watching the best thing I ever watched, 576 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: but seeing something soil verdic list as a plot of 577 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: people trying to stop the moon crashing into the Earth 578 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: and just seeing what that looks like visually, like it's 579 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: almost like a dream you would have in seeing a 580 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: movie made about that, and this one, I feel like 581 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: it's a little bit self aware and plays into that 582 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: with you acting in it, the jokes they make, and 583 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: I hope that it's not taking itself too seriously because 584 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: it looks kind of dumb. To be honest, it looks 585 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 1: almost so dumb though that I love it for that. 586 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: It's a charming quality of the disaster film. And Moonfall 587 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: comes out on February four, so we don't have a 588 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of time to wait to see this movie. Kind 589 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 1: of a slow time for movie trailers right now. So 590 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: that's all I wanted to share with you on this episode. 591 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: This makes addition of movie laws, so that will do 592 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: it for this week's episode. But of course, every single 593 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: week I give a shout out to a listener who 594 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: tweeted me, send me a d M, send me an email, 595 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: Movie Mike d at gmail dot com. It's my shout 596 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: out to the movie crew, which are the listeners of 597 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: this podcast. This week, I'm going over to Twitter and 598 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: this tweet is from at Adam Kramer thirty five, who 599 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: tweeted me a picture of his car dashboard and it 600 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: said listening to the podcast while waiting to get my 601 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: oil change. Adam, I see you checking out the top 602 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: five interviews. Hopefully it was able to make the mind 603 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: numbing experience of waiting for your oil to get changed 604 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more bearable. So shout out to Adam. 605 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: I encourage those pictures. Let me know how and why 606 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: you're listening. I also had another tweet I wanted to 607 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: share from Michelle Coleman, who tweeted me and said, listening 608 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: to your podcast and need your advice. Started watching The 609 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: Suicide Squad on the plane forty minutes in and loved it. 610 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: Do I finish watching that one or go back and 611 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: watch the original Suicide Squad first? And I said, well, 612 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: if you were forty minutes into the Suicide Squad, which 613 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: is the James Gunn version that came out last year, 614 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna love the rest of that movie. That was 615 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies last year. And honestly, it's 616 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: a much better movie than the original Suicide Squad. And 617 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: the thing about these Suicide Squad is you don't need 618 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: to watch the original to get that one at all. 619 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: I feel like it's pretty self contained. Maybe you don't 620 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: have as much backstory on some of the characters, but 621 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: that entire movie lives in that world. Now, if you 622 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: finished watching the Suicide Squad and just completely love the concept. 623 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: Don't want to see more about those characters. Go back 624 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: and watch the original one, which came out back in 625 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: but be prepared that it's not up to that same quality. 626 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't think Suicide Squad deserved as much as the 627 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: hate as it got. I think it's still a pretty 628 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: fun movie, but it just didn't exactly capture what that 629 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: movie could have been. So appreciate that question. If you 630 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: have a movie question that you want me to answer, 631 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: I'll do them here. Just tweet me or send me 632 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: an email. Thanks everybody for listening. I hope you have 633 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: a great rest of your week. Go out and watch 634 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: good movies, and I'll talk to you next week. Later
