Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I

00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today, I want to talk

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: about my top ten most anticipated movies of twenty twenty six.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to be a fine year

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: at the box office. In the movie review, I'll be

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: talking about Primate, which is a horror movie about a

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: killer monkey who attacks a bunch of people on a

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: tropical vacation. And in the trailer park, I'll be talking

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: about Madden and everybody's problem with Nicholas Cage as John

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: Madden because it doesn't look like it's up to the

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: standards of a whole lot of people. So thank you

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Podcast Network. This is movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: We have a big list to get to, so many

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: great movies coming out in twenty twenty six, so let's

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: get right into it. The year is going to kick

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: me right in the nuts because on June twenty sixth,

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: Jackass five is coming out. If you know me, I

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: am a huge fan of Jackass. I watched it on MTV.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: Got really into Viva Labam. I've seen every.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: Single movie multiple times. When Jackass three D came out,

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: I went to a midnight release. I was still working

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: on The Bobby Bone Show as an intern during that time,

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: and Steve O actually came in studio for an interview

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: to promote that movie. You could tell that I was

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: just so ecstatic of like, Wow, I'm just starting out

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: in radio and Steve O from Jackasses here, I've been

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: watching you on TV from Jackass, and then I got

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: really into Viva Labam and then also with Steve O,

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I watch Wild Boys. What I think these movies do

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: not get credit enough for is how unorthodox the format

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: is because essentially it is just a bunch of random

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: skits or what now would be YouTube videos or even

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: TikTok's patched together. There is no continuous storyline in a

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Jackass movie. It is seen after seeing Some are longer

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: than others. Sometimes they are quick five second bits in

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: between these bumpers, in between different segments. There is nothing

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: you can go into the theater to watch that is

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: like a Jackass movie, but it is an experience. It

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: has a huge fan base, this community that goes into

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the theater just wanting to have a good time and

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: laugh in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that shows

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: you very disgusting things that pushes the limits. I think

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: they do not get enough credit for how much money

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: they've been able to make at the box office for

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: something that on paper probably shouldn't be successful. And I

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: think it's all because of Johnny Knoxville, who is one

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: of my idols, and he is the ringleader of this

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: entire group. He is a modern day bugs Bunny and

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: how he orchestrates all these stunts that essentially are like

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: live action Looney Tunes. And to me, I would say

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the franchise really ended with Jackass three D because that

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: was the last time they were all fully a part

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: of all the stunts. Because now they are getting older,

57
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and even when they made that movie, they thought that

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: was gonna be the last one because their bodies couldn't

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: take it anymore. But with the last movie, Jackass Forever,

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: they brought in a new crew, some fresh blood who

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: were able to do some of the things that they

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: did early on that their bodies just cannot take. But

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: still Johnny Knoxville will always have that one big stunt,

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: whether it's getting attacked by a bull or taking off

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: on a rocket that almost blows off his entire leg.

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: And Johnny Knoxville is now fifty four years old, so

67
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait until we get to like Jackass eight,

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: when they are in the retirement room and we go

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: full circle. He's doing bad Grandpa, except he doesn't have

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to put on the prosthetic makeup and face anymore. So

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: that is why I have this movie at number ten.

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Johnny Knoxville and Jackass fan. Jackass five

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: unless they might change the title, but right now that's

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: all the details we know about. It is coming out

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: on June twenty sixth, right around my birthday, which I

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: always have an appreciation for any movie coming out on

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: my birthday weekend because I will be in the theater

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: for this movie. Jackass five at number ten. At number nine,

79
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: you know I love me a good animated movie. Super

80
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Mario probably a top five video game for me of

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: all time, and the Super Mario Galaxy movie is coming

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: out on April third of this year and Mario is

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 1: going into space. I loved the Super Mario Galaxy game.

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: It reminds me of a very pivotal time in my

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: life which I had a wi. I remember they came

86
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: out in two thousand and six, and probably at least

87
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: to me during that time, when I was fifteen years old,

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: it felt like it was an impossible task to get

89
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: a Wii. And I remember I had a cousin who

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: worked at Walmart, and he would tell my mom whenever

91
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: they would get new shipments of weas in. This is

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: how it was back in the day. And I know

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: we've had similar things like this now with the PS five,

94
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: at least whenever there was a chip shortage or whenever

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: a console first launches. But I think we're a lot

96
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: better now as far as supplying demand when it comes

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: to video game consoles. But back in the day, when

98
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: the Wei for came out in two thousand and six,

99
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: at least for me, it was so hard to get one.

100
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: So our cousin who worked at Walmart would let us

101
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: know any time a shipment came in. He couldn't hold

102
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: one for us, but he could tell us as soon

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: as they were in stock, And this was long before

104
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: ordering things on the internet or proven things was an option,

105
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: So I remember it was probably a year, so maybe

106
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, maybe even not un till

107
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight did I get my first Wii.

108
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: But one of those games I got was Super Mario Galaxy,

109
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: and that was after graduated high school, because I remember

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: being in college and coming home and sitting in my

111
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: dark room, turning up the AC and just getting lost

112
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: in this game. Because obviously I grew up playing Super Mario.

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: But Super Mario Galaxy is such a different game because

114
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: it mixes elements of those early Mario games and mixes

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of Mario on N sixty four and

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: gives you this entirely different way to play with this character.

117
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: And I cannot wait to see how that translates into

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: the big screen. Because now you have these big cosmic colors.

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: You have Princess Peach returning Mario in Luigi and now

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Princess Daisy, who is a cosmic princess. You have Bowser

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: who is now kind of reformed trying to be a

122
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: good guy, but his son, Bowser Junior, is coming to

123
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: bail him out and he is the new threat. I

124
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: also love how improved the animation looks in this one,

125
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: just from the trailer alone. It is from the studio

126
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: illumination that also does the Minions movies so top tier animation.

127
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to illumination movies, they don't

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: get enough credit for how innovative they are in their

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: techniques for filmmaking and making each one better. Where if

130
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you look at some of the Disney movies in the

131
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: last five years, it kind of all just starts to

132
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: look the exact same, where it's not really refreshing to

133
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: your eyes. It doesn't feel new. It just feels like

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again with slightly different

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: character designs. Illumination, on the other hand, gives you these

136
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: vastly different worlds with every movie and every title that

137
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: come out with and the Super Mario Galaxy Movie specifically

138
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: looks like a great improvement. So I am hyped for it,

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: as you can tell, thirty four year old man so

140
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: excited for a family friendly movie. But that is how

141
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: much I love this video game and want to see

142
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: it done justice. So at number nine I have the

143
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: Super Mario Galaxy Movie coming out on April third. At

144
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: number eight, I have The Social Reckoning, which is the

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: follow up to the Social Network, which was the Facebook

146
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: movie that took everybody by surprise. Because when this movie

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: first came out, everybody was like, why are they making

148
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: a stupid Facebook movie? What is next? The LinkedIn movie?

149
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: But it is coming out on October ninth. It is

150
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: about a different controversy involving a Wall Street Journal reporter

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: and a young Facebook engineer who was a whistleblower on

152
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: Facebook about some of the data leaks and shady things

153
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: that happened. And I believe the twenty tens there were

154
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: some trials in like the twenty twenties, but that is

155
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: what this movie is focusing on. Jesse Eisenberg is not

156
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: returning as Mark Zuckerberg. Instead, it is Jeremy Strong, you

157
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: may know from Succession. Mikey Madison is also in this movie.

158
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: Who if you watched Honora, she was the lead in

159
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: that and Jeremy Allen White is also a part of

160
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: this cast. It is from director and writer Aaron Sorkin,

161
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: who also did the first movie. And I think what

162
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: took us all by surprise with the social network was

163
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: how great of a story it was. It wasn't a

164
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: story just about the creation of Facebook and very bubbly

165
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: and fresh. It was just a very intense drama with

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: some of the best acting of the twenty tens. One

167
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: of my favorite scenes of all time in movies is

168
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: the scene where Andrew Garfield's character goes to confront Jesse Eisenberg,

169
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: who is Mark Zuckerberg in the movie, at the headquarters

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: of Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg is sitting there on his

171
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: laptop and what they call the wired in position wherever

172
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: he has his headphones on and he's doing some coding,

173
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: totally locked in. Whenever somebody is wired in in the movie,

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: you can't mess with them, you can't talk to them

175
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: because they are so focused and zoned into their work.

176
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: And then Andrew Garfield comes in super angry because he

177
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: basically gets kicked out of Facebook and screwed over by

178
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, who Mark Zuckerberg in the movie is one

179
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: of the best villains. He is such a jerk, he

180
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: is so unlikable. And seeing Andrew Garfield just give this

181
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 1: incredible performance, this just big speech filled with rage, smashing

182
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: that laptop and yelling at Jesse Eisenberg was fantastic. So

183
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: I want some more of that. Is it going to

184
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: have the same impact as the first one? Probably not.

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: And with the original director back with some good actors

186
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: in the mix. I am excited for it. At number eight,

187
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: I have The Social Reckoning coming out on October ninth.

188
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: At number seven, I have Mandalorian and Grogu starring Pedro

189
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Pascal and Sigourney Weaver coming out on May twenty second.

190
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: I wonder if Sigourney Weaver could just go by Sigourney,

191
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: much like Share, much like Reva, much like Rihanna. I

192
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: don't know any other person, let alone in the entertainment

193
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: industry named Sigourney. I would just drop the Weaver if

194
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: I was her. I think, if you say Sigourney, you

195
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: know who you were talking about, although I wouldn't even

196
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: know how to spell Sigourney if it wasn't sitting in

197
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: front of me, sig Oh you are any Why but

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Sigourney Weaver is in this movie, The Mandalorian. I love

199
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: the TV show, and when I first saw the trailer

200
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: to this, I wasn't as excited. But over the break

201
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: we went to the movies and I saw it come

202
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: on on the big screen, and that is when I

203
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: got excited. Because when you just watch it on your

204
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: laptop or your phone, it is really hard to make

205
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: a distinction between it looking any different than just the

206
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: TV show, So when watching it on my phone or

207
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: on my laptop, it didn't really feel like anything special

208
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: that warranted the big screen. But then when I saw

209
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: it in theaters, it kind of gave me that same

210
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: feeling that I did. I mean, it's been a while

211
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: now since we've had a Star Wars movie. I think

212
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: this will end the five year drought now, and it

213
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: gave me that feeling because there really is nothing like

214
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: seeing a Star Wars movie in theaters. Whether you love it,

215
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: whether you hate it, it is an event. It brings

216
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: out all different types of movie fans, young and old,

217
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: grandma's and grandpas. Everybody loves a good Star Wars story.

218
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I really hope that they captured the same energy that

219
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: they did in that first season of The Mandalorian. The

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: characters were so much stronger and well defined, and of

221
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: course Grogu was as cute and cuddly as can be.

222
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: That is what everybody went crazy for whenever this show

223
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: first came out. Everybody talked about baby Yoda, and they

224
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: do focus a little bit too much on that in

225
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: the trailer, But I am still hopeful that this will

226
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: be another fantastic adventure in the Star Wars World, and

227
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping it just doesn't feel like a long

228
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: episode of the show. But at number seven, I have

229
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Mandalorian and Grogu coming out early summer May twenty second.

230
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: At number six, starring Ryan Gosling, I have Project hill

231
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Mary coming out on March twelfth. And I say this

232
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: because in this studio right now, over to my right,

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I am looking at a bookshelf and staring back at

234
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: me just with these evil eyes. Is my copy given

235
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: to me by Kelsey of Project hill Mary that I

236
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: said on this podcast I was going to start over

237
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: the Christmas break. How many pages do you think I

238
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: read of that book so far? Take a guess. If

239
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: you answered zero, you would be correct. I haven't even

240
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: cracked it open. I took it with me. It was

241
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: in my backpack, burning a hole in my backpack. Over

242
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: our trip to Texas. I did not open that book once.

243
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: And there was one time after we got back that

244
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: I was like, there's nothing really to watch. I watched

245
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: every single movie. I don't feel like playing any switch

246
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: right now. Let me crack open this book. I still

247
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: did not crack that book o, but I am determined

248
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: now that it is what almost three months still away

249
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: March twentieth, I still have time, and it is a

250
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: beef of your book, so I really wish I would

251
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: have started reading it earlier, because the first step to

252
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: anything to success is just getting started. Whether it's working out,

253
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: whether it's finishing a book, all you have to do

254
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: is start. But the book and the movie are about

255
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: an astronaut who wakes up alone on a spaceship with

256
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: no memory of how he got there. Earth is facing

257
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: a catastrophic threat, so he has to piece together what

258
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: his mission is and he uses some unexpected allies, which

259
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the trailer might have spoiled some things from

260
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: the book, so I won't even mention it now because

261
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it to myself. But essentially

262
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: he is trying to save the world, so I will

263
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: mark my words. I will start and finish this book

264
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: by March twentieth. But that is why I have Project

265
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: Mary at number six to really hold me accountable, because

266
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna feel so excited after I read

267
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the book, and I feel so proud of myself, and

268
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: then I get that privilege that only smart people get

269
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: of reading the book and going to see the movie,

270
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: and I cannot wait to do that review after and say, man,

271
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: the book was so much better than the movie. I'm

272
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: finally gonna be that guy. But that's what I have

273
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: at number six, getting into the top five. Now I

274
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: have at number five Disclosure Day from director Steven Spielberg.

275
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: It stars Emily Blunt. It is coming out this summer

276
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: on June twelfth. It is a Steven Spielberg UFO slash

277
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: alien movie. It is about Emily Blunt's character who works

278
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: as a news anchor in Kansas City, and then you

279
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: have some other couple people in the mix two. But

280
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: it's all about the humans in the movie grappling with

281
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: mysterious alien events and the overwhelming weight of this new

282
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: reality that aliens exist. So there aren't too many other

283
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: details about the Plump other than we find out aliens

284
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: are real and everybody starts freaking out. I love Steven Spielberg, obviously.

285
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: He is such a great director that I feel unfairly

286
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: does not get talked about enough, at least in the

287
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: film bro community, who dominates TikTok and YouTube about the

288
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: greatest directors of all time, because I think he's put

289
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: out so many amazing movies over our lifetime just consistently

290
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: that it almost feels like he is in this goaded

291
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: position that you feel kind of like a poser. If

292
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: you say Steven Spielberg is your favorite director. But if

293
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: you think about Jaws, if you think about Jurassic Park,

294
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: if you think about et he is responsible for so

295
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: many movies that have sparked so many fandoms and films

296
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: that feel so much larger than life than we realize.

297
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: He is literally a living legend. And when it comes

298
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: to I mean even talk about War of the World,

299
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: when you talk about his alien movies, or obviously going

300
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: back to Close Encounters of the Third Kind back in

301
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, the list goes on and on of

302
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: movies he has put out that are just banger after banger.

303
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: But when it comes to a movie, I've been craving

304
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: recently with all the things we've learned in the last

305
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: few years about aliens and the idea kind of being

306
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: soft launched to us where it's not as crazy as

307
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: it was back in the nineties, even back in the

308
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: early two thousands, where I was fully into all the

309
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories about aliens. Now I feel like the idea

310
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: of aliens existing isn't as crazy to us as we

311
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: realize more and more how much we are just little

312
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: pebbles on a floating rock in the grand scheme of

313
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: all these things. That I have been craving a movie

314
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: like this, and I hope it is my new favorite

315
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: alien movie since Signs. Whenever Signs came out back in

316
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the two thousands, that movie blew my mind. It scared

317
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the crap out of me out of the first alien reveal,

318
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping Disclosure Day builds that same kind of tension.

319
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Who I think Steven Spielberg is the king of that,

320
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: and he created this method where you don't show the

321
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: monster really until the very end. You give the audience

322
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: little glimpses of it here and there. And obviously he

323
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: first did this with Jaws, where it was greatly due

324
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: to trying to save money, because he didn't have time

325
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: or money to show Jaws the entire time, so instead

326
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: you build all the suspense around that character. Sometimes not

327
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: seeing the monster is scarier than actually seeing it when

328
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: you think about it, you don't realize it why you're

329
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: watching it, But building the music that dun nun donna,

330
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: seeing somebody get killed, seeing just the blood from it,

331
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: but you don't actually see Jaws in his full glory

332
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: until the third act. And I think that is something

333
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: that I have learned from watching Steven spielberg movies and

334
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: how other directors who have been inspired by his work

335
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: as well create a good monster movie. So hopefully that

336
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: is what we get in Disclosure Day, where we get

337
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: that same kind of moment we had in Science even

338
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: though he didn't do Signs. That is just one of

339
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: my favorite examples of an alien reveal where you don't

340
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: see them for a while, but when you do, it

341
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: is so impactful and it's gonna scare the crap out

342
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: of you. So I love Steven Spielberg. Emily Blunt just

343
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: happens to be a lot of things right now. I

344
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: think she is a good actor. I wouldn't put her

345
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: as one of my favorite actors, but she has a

346
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: great agent because she gets into a lot of big

347
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: movies right now. So I am excited for this. At

348
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: number five, I have Disclosure Day coming out on June twelfth.

349
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: At number four from director Christopher Nolan, I have The Odyssey.

350
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: It is coming out this summer on July seventeenth. Matt

351
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: Damon plays Odysseus and Tom Holland plays his son, but

352
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: essentially Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek tale.

353
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: The movie follows Odysseus's long and perilous journey home after

354
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the Trojan War. He takes on mythical foes such as

355
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Cyclops and sirens, and he strives to return to his

356
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: wife Penelope and his son and a sweeping emotional adventure.

357
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna be quite the cinematic achievement

358
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: because The Odyssey is the first major movie ever shot

359
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: entirely on Imax seventy millimeter film cameras, which means this

360
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: movie is going to look massive. Oppenheimer, which I also

361
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: saw in seventy milimeter Imax at one of the only

362
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: maybe ten theaters that showed it that way in the

363
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: United States, just happens to be here in Nashville. That

364
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: movie was still not shot entirely on that film, which,

365
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: when you start talking about film sizes, it basically means

366
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: how much information can be put on the big screen.

367
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: So seventy milimeter Imax is like the most amount of

368
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: information you could put into a single frame. So when

369
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: that gets blasted onto a major screen. It still looks

370
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: super rich and vibrant and colorful, so it's the best

371
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: looking movie you can get because it's so expensive to do.

372
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: The film reels alone to these movies are massive, and

373
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: it takes up essentially an entire room. It is so

374
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: heavy and difficult to transport. So that is why you

375
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: very rarely see this happen unless it's somebody like Christopher

376
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: Nolan who has that type of pool to spend that

377
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: amount of money to film a movie like this on film.

378
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: That is why I have The Odyssey at number four

379
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: coming out on July seventeenth, getting into the top three

380
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: now at number three, I have Toy Story five coming

381
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: out on June nineteenth. An odd thing I did over

382
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: the Christmas break, I rewatched all four Toy Story movies

383
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: because we went home and my sister has Disney Channel,

384
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: which I've not sat down to watch Disney Channel in

385
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: a really long time. And maybe it's just because it

386
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: was Christmas break, but Disney Channel just replaces a lot

387
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: of Disney movies and they're just like, this is a

388
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: general audience movie, and then they start another one. But

389
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: Toy Story four started and I had not watched this

390
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: movie since it came out in theaters. So I sat

391
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: down and I watched All a Toy Story four, and

392
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: then for some reason after that one. I don't know why,

393
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: I ended up watching them all in reverse order, but

394
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: after I watched four, I was like, I gotta go

395
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: back and watch three. So I watched it at home

396
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. And when I watched three, I was like, well,

397
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: I might as well watch two, and then I went

398
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: back and watched one. So it was an interesting way

399
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: to watch them. I don't think I would really recommend it,

400
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: because you see the animation get worse coming backwards, but

401
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: it did make me feel different about four in the

402
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: sense that man Woody is annoying. It is really hard

403
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: to root for Woody in four, where he kind of

404
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: becomes obsessed with this idea of still being hung up

405
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: on Andy. He cannot move past Andy, even though he

406
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: is now living with Bonnie. It still is just so

407
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: traumatic to him and keeping everybody together, keeping the status quo.

408
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: It's like, Woody, just move on, dude. You're a toy.

409
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: You have to accept that. You have to try to

410
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: find some happiness somewhere instead of trying to control everything.

411
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I think I just got a little bit frushra with

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: his character and watching them in reverse order, seeing that

413
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: his character developed in the opposite way. Where in the

414
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: first one, I love Woody because he's kind of a jerk.

415
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: He is so imperfect in Toy Story one because he

416
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: is jealous of Buzz, and I love a jealous Woody.

417
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: He is insulting, He straight up assalts Buzz. He manipulates

418
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: all the other toys. I love seeing a flawed Woody,

419
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: And whenever he becomes a little bit too boy scout

420
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: and trying to be the leader and trying to be

421
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: the dad slash mom of the group, he gets a

422
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: little bit more annoying from really from three to four.

423
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: In two, he is so worried about being abandoned he

424
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: gets shelved after his arm rips, and then with three

425
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: again he is worried about not being around all the

426
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: other toys. They mistakenly get put out on the curb

427
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: as trash. I also have a different perspective on Andy,

428
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: and I know I have to kind of suspend disbelief

429
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: because I try to put myself in that situation of

430
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: I did not keep any of the same toys from

431
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: my childhood all the way up to eighteen, and if

432
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: I was eighteen thinking about taking my toys to college,

433
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: I started to feel different ways about Andy two. But

434
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: all this to say, rewatching all of the Toy Story

435
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: movies has me that excited for Toy Story five. And

436
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: even though I said I think Toy Story should have

437
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: just been a trilogy, it is to me one through

438
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: three that is the franchise. Everything else is just bonus.

439
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't consider it canon. I consider it all a

440
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: big cash grab. I just have to know what happens

441
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: to these characters and how they are going to make

442
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: Toy Story five work, which if you haven't seen Toy

443
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: Story four, they are going to have to explain a

444
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: lot because in five, what it's all about is their owner, Bonnie,

445
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: who is who Andy gave his toys. Two. At the

446
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: end of Toy Story three, gets a new toy, except

447
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: it's not a toy, it's a lily pad, so it's

448
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: supposed to be at least I hope it really dives

449
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: into how kids don't really play with toys anymore, which

450
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: is crazy. I feel like kids don't play with toys

451
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: as much as they used to. They much rather have

452
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: a tablet, which was crazy because Kelsey and I every

453
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: single year we adopt a couple of angels and we

454
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: buy them gifts and we always look at their once

455
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: and selfishly, I always go through and try to find

456
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: kids who have similar interest that I did when I

457
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: was a kid. So if they like Pokemon, if they

458
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: like Spider Man or Dragon ball Z, I'm going to

459
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: pick that kid selfishly because I know I can go

460
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: find things that I would have loved as a kid

461
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: that I think they would love. But when you started

462
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: to look at all the top once to all these kids, tablet, tablet, tablet,

463
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, where's the Pokemon cars? Where are the

464
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: power Rangers? Where are the scooters and the skateboards? Well,

465
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: I guess kids now want electric scooters, but that was

466
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: crazy to me to see that all these kids, even

467
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: younger kids, just want tablet. So I think this movie

468
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: is perfectly timed with addressing a real life issue. And

469
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: as long as they continue to make toy story movies,

470
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: I will still watch them. But for me, the movies

471
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: that define my generation and the movies I will recognize

472
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: as the true toy story movies will always be one

473
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: through three. Everything now is just extra. At number two,

474
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Supergirl, which will feature the return

475
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: of Crypto and Millie Alcock as Supergirl. She is twenty

476
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: three years old. She is the complete opposite of Superman

477
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: as far as her view is on the world. She

478
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: is much more cynical. She is very chaotic and messy.

479
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: It looks like a lot of the same energy that

480
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: we got in Superman, but instead a fun, little bit

481
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: more Guardians of the Galaxy type version. Even though James

482
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: Gunn is not directing this movie, so really excited about it.

483
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I think this will be a great year for superhero

484
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: movies because at number one, I have a two way

485
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: tie I could not decide, and number one I have

486
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: both Avengers Doomsday and Spider Man Brand New Day. Doomsday

487
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: is coming out on December eighteenth, and Spider Man Brand

488
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: New Day is coming out on July thirty first. I

489
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: am obviously a huge Spider Man fan. I have a

490
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Spider Man tattoo on my right arm that my mom

491
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: I think saw for the first time and when I

492
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: was home for Christmas, and she wasn't that surprised by it.

493
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: She was like, Yeah, when you were a kid, you

494
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: would just go around shooting website like Spider Man. I

495
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, my fandom started from a very young age.

496
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: So that made me feel even better about getting a tattoo,

497
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: because the thing they don't tell you is how crazy

498
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: permanent it feels. Obviously it sounds dumb to say, but

499
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: you have this realization right after you get a tattoo

500
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: of like, oh man, this thing is good to be

501
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: on me forever. I'm glad I picked something I've liked

502
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: for a very long time. So her telling me that

503
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: reminded me like, oh yeah, I have love dim since

504
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: I was a kid. Nothing is going to change, but

505
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: Spider Man has always been my number one favorite superhero.

506
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: In my top five superheroes, it's spider Man, Batman, the

507
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, and number five changes from time to time.

508
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: In the movies, it is iron Man, but I think

509
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: in the comics and just overall now I think it

510
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: is Cyclops. And that is why Tied at number one

511
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: is Avengers Doomsday coming out on December eighteenth, and I

512
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: haven't talked about the teaser trailers that have come out

513
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: that I first saw when everybody went to go see Avatar,

514
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: we saw the Captain America one that let us know

515
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: that Steve Rogers is returning. Captain America appears to have

516
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: a baby. Now that's really all. That was him driving

517
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: up in a motorcycle, and then you see his shield,

518
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: you see his suit, and then you see him holding

519
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: a baby. There was a really funny parody somebody did

520
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: that made it look like a medication commercial. They did

521
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: like the voiceover. They put the name of the medication

522
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: in all the disclaimers and it kind of fit. I

523
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: don't really feel like just telling us that somebody is

524
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: returning is promotion enough. I think that is very twenty

525
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: tens MCU. We need to evolve that a little bit.

526
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: But that had been pretty much the case for all

527
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: these teaser trailers, and I wanted to wait for the

528
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: first official trailer, which we should get during the Super Bowl,

529
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: to fully include it in the trailer park. But since

530
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: it is here tied at number one, am I most anticipated.

531
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: I'll mention that one the thor one pretty straightforward. He

532
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: has a kid that he's taking care of now too.

533
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: After Thor Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth is bag. He

534
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: looks as ripped up as ever, not as much excitement

535
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: there because we just saw Thor pretty recently in at

536
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: least a couple of movies, as far as his own

537
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: solo movie, and then he also had a cameo in

538
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: Deadpool and Wolverine. But the teaser that did get me

539
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: really excited that has been the best so far for

540
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Doomsday was that the X Men are going to be

541
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: in Doomsday. But not only that, because you see Professor

542
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: X and you see Magneto, who now looks a lot older.

543
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: That didn't make me a little bit emotional. But the

544
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: big standout of that teaser he got James Marsden back

545
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 1: as Cyclops. But not only that, they got him out

546
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: of that awful leather suit that all the X Men

547
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: had in the two thousands that just looked awful. It

548
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: just made them look so bland. I get there was

549
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: probably a fascination with black leather after the Matrix during

550
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: that time, and they didn't want it to look like

551
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: the comic book version of the X Men then because

552
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 1: people would have seen it as cheesy, So they had

553
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: to make them look cool, and they put them all

554
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: on leather, and I think worked at the time, but

555
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: now I just wish they would have looked different much

556
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: in this teaser, we have James Marsden in a comic

557
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: accurate cyclops suit, the blue and the yellow, and you

558
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: see him erupt with this optic blast that had me

559
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: so excited, And that was the first time from any

560
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: of this material that I've been this excited that it

561
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: hopped all the way up to one. So I couldn't

562
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: pick which one to put it one, so I just

563
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: put them both here. It's my list, my rules. But

564
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: I think those movies are going to be my favorite

565
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: of the year no matter what, because I just love

566
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: both of those franchises. I rewatch the Avengers movies at

567
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: least once a year. I also rewatch all the Spider

568
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: Man movies, not just the Tom Holland ones, but all

569
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: of them at least once a year. So I'm getting

570
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: two movies to add to my repertoire of movies that

571
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: I rewatch all the time that become a part of me.

572
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: It's like having a child. These movies are going to

573
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: live with me forever. I couldn't pick between the two,

574
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: but I am excited that they do kind of split

575
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the year, Spider Man coming out on July thirty first,

576
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: and then Doomsday not coming out until December eighteenth, so

577
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I can go these seven months, get

578
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: my Spider Man, live off the high of that, and

579
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: then get really ramped up for December eighteenth release. So

580
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: those are my top ten most anticipated movies of twenty

581
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: twenty six. I will run through all the other big

582
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: movies coming out this year. My honorable mentions include Michael,

583
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: which is coming out on April twenty fourth, but it's

584
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be over three hours long. There was even

585
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: a cut of this that was almost four hours. There

586
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: was talk of splitting this movie up into two movies,

587
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: which I think would be a terrible idea. So I

588
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: have a little bit of hesitation, but that doesn't mean

589
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: it takes away from my anticipation of wanting to go

590
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: see this movie in theaters and see how the final

591
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: product turns out. Michael coming out on April twenty fourth,

592
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: The Hunger Games, Sunrise on the Reaping coming out on

593
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: November twentieth. Street Fighter is coming out on October sixteenth.

594
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: That movie looks like it could be terrible, but it

595
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: could just be a lot of fun. The cast has

596
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: me a little bit worried because there are some people

597
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: in there. I'm like Okay, why did you even put

598
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: this person in this movie? So I think that'll just

599
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: be I want to know how bad it is going

600
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: to be, but it has the potential to be kind

601
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: of a sleeper hit. We have Resident Evil coming out

602
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: on September eighteenth from Weapons director Zach Craiger. I want

603
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: to see how he follows up that movie, and then

604
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: I'll go through the rest as far as when they

605
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: are going to come out earliest at the end of

606
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: this week. Already we get twenty eight years later, The

607
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: Bone Temple. On January sixteenth. We have The Moment starring

608
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: Charlie XCX. On January thirtieth. We have Goat, which is

609
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: the animated movie coming to us from NBA champion Steph Curry,

610
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: coming out on February thirteenth, from the same studio that

611
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: did K Pop Demon Hunters. We have Scream seven coming

612
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: out on February twenty seventh. If it doesn't have Melissa

613
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: Barrera in it, if it doesn't have Jenna Ortega, I

614
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: am less interested in it. But because it is a

615
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: part of the Scream franchise, I will check it out.

616
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Nev Campbell isn't it, but she was also at five,

617
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: so I don't know why they are making a big

618
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: deal about that. We have the Pixar movie Hoppers coming

619
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: out on March sixth. Nate Bargatezi has a movie coming

620
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: out on March thirteenth called The bread Winner. The trailer

621
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: for that really looks like he's trying to revive two

622
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: thousand's family comedies. I just don't know if that could work.

623
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: It could be a nice little trip in nostalgia, even

624
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: though it is a new movie. But I don't know

625
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: if you're not Adam Sandler know if you can pull

626
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: that off. We have the drama coming out on April third.

627
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: It's that Robert Pattinson and Zendia romantic comedy. The Devil

628
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Wears prad is coming out on May first. Mortal Kombat

629
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: two is coming out on May fifteenth. Masters of the

630
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Universe is coming out on June fifth. I would be

631
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: so much more excited for this if Jared Leto was

632
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: not playing skeletor anything he is in. I just assume

633
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: is going to be bad. Scary Movie six is coming

634
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: out on June twelfth. I feel like parody movies are

635
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of having a slow comeback. With a naked gun

636
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: last year, I think we could be in a place

637
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: where we need a good parody movie like scary movie

638
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: six Mega Minions, which is Minions three, coming out on

639
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: July first. The live action Mawana movie is coming out

640
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: on July tenth. Not excited about that. Coyote Versus Acme,

641
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: which was the movie that got canceled and then brought

642
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: back to life, is coming out on August twenty eighth.

643
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: DC's clay Face is coming out on September eleventh. Practic

644
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: to Go Magic two is coming out on September eighteenth.

645
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: Digger starring Tom Cruise, which looks kind of bizarre. I

646
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: don't really know entirely what it's about. The trailer really

647
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: said nothing, but it's kind of nice to see Tom

648
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Cruise not doing a movie where he is just running

649
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: in the trailer. That's coming out on October second. Meet

650
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: the Parents four Fokker in Law is coming out on

651
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: November twenty fifth. Narnia the Magician's Nephew from director Greta Gerwig,

652
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 1: who also did Barbie, is coming out on November twenty sixth.

653
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: We have a Jumanji sequel on December eleventh. Basically, The

654
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: Rock just needs to make a little bit of Money

655
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: Again June Part three did not make my top ten list,

656
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: not even an honorable mention. I will go see it,

657
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: but I'm just not that excited for it. That's coming

658
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: out on December eighteenth. That is the list. I'll come

659
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: back and give my spoiler free review of Primate. Let's

660
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of Primeate.

661
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: It is about a family who has a pet monkey

662
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: named Ben. You have the main character, Lucy, who is

663
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: coming home, has been away for quite some time. Some

664
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: of her family kind of resents her for it, but

665
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: she's coming back home bringing some of her friends and

666
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: they're all gonna hang out in this really nice house.

667
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: This is always a problem I have with horror movies

668
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: is I didn't fear them a lot as a kid

669
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: because I lived in a trailer and I always thought, man,

670
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: this can never happen to me, because if anything crazy

671
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: went down here, there wouldn't be enough room for anybody

672
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: to run around. So I always found comfort in that,

673
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: even though it was broke, we didn't have our own bedrooms.

674
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: I slept on the floor until I think I was

675
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: maybe fourteen years old. I was like the only thing

676
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: I can find satisfaction is there will never be a

677
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: situation where any events that go down in a horror

678
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: movie can happen in this trailer, because anytime you watch

679
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: one of these movies, they always have a sick house,

680
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: and in Primate, I think is one of the sickest

681
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: houses I have seen in a horror movie. I don't know,

682
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: maybe I'm doing real estate right now because we've been

683
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: looking for a place to live. But you have this

684
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: awesome house all the way throughout that Ben has all

685
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: these rope ladders that he can go up and down,

686
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: because essentially this movie is Kujo, but instead of a dog,

687
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: it is a primate, and he has all these things

688
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: where he can climb around. He has this iPad that

689
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: he can press buttons and communicate with the family. He

690
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: has been a beloved member of their family for a

691
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: very long time. But you have this amazing view and

692
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: at the very bottom there is this pool, which by

693
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: the way, Ben cannot swim. I feel like he resents

694
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the family for that because they're always

695
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: hanging out in this pool. And the house essentially sits

696
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: at the bottom of these two clips that you're completely isolated.

697
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: The perfect setting for a horror movie. But something happens

698
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: to Ben, leading all the family to think there is

699
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: something wrong with Ben, which is what they said in

700
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: the trailer, and what my favorite quote of the entire

701
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: movie is, there is something wrong with Ben. Of course

702
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with Ben. He gets rabies and he

703
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: starts killing people. So now you have Lucy, her sister,

704
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: and all of her friends trying to escape Ben, except

705
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: they are stuck in this house because Ben is not

706
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: going to let them go. That is the situation. So

707
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: again like Kujo, when the mom and the daughter are

708
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: stuck in the car, they can't get out of it,

709
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: the exact same way, except they are in this luxurious house.

710
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: The thing that really stuck out to me about Primate

711
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: was its commitment to violence. I think that was the

712
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: most satisfying part. Is they did not steer away from

713
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: making the kills very gruesome. If it wouldn't have been

714
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: for that, I wouldn't have found this movie as entertaining.

715
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: Because when all of Ben's victims die, it is very

716
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: satisfying as somebody who likes to watch gruesome horror movie deaths.

717
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: They went for it, and sometimes they made me a

718
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable because they are very harsh and bloody.

719
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: If it didn't have that level of violence, in that

720
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: level of gruesomeness, this would have been just the generic

721
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: horror movie, because I think the real selling point was

722
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: the fact that it was this monkey that gets rabies

723
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: and starts killing people. Because when it came to the story,

724
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: it was garbage. It was trash. There was no real

725
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: connection that I felt that they had to Ben, because

726
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: it really is all of a sudden, she is back home,

727
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: and they don't really do a whole lot of explaining

728
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: or connection between why they feel like he is so

729
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: much a part of the family. If they would have

730
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: had a little bit more of that, which again, this

731
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: movie is under ninety minutes. I think it was like

732
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: an hour and twenty three minutes. They didn't really have

733
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: time to get to that, but they spent about thirty

734
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: minutes just focusing on the drama between all the friends

735
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: and the family that never really let anywhere. They should

736
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: have focused more on why Ben feels like a part

737
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: of the family. Therefore, whenever he switches, they have a

738
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: little bit more of a dilemma of oh, man, here's

739
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: this person who has been a part of our family.

740
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: He feels like a brother to us, but now we

741
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: have to escape him and he's trying to kill us.

742
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: I never really felt that connection. So while the movie

743
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: won me a little bit over with the violence, the

744
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: story was really harsh and the acting, oh, the acting

745
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: was brutal. It kind of felt like I was watching

746
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: the CW Show. But even the way they reacted to

747
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: Bennett times was really infuriating. This is one of those

748
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: horror movies that if you go watch it in theaters

749
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: or even if you watch it at home, you were

750
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: going to be so upset at these characters. And some

751
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: people like that type of horror movie where you're like,

752
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: why are you doing that, you idiot? You should be

753
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: doing the complete opposite, or also just how can you

754
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: be that dumb? The characters felt so dumb and infuriating

755
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: that at times I was yelling at the screen, not

756
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: because I was enjoying it, but because I was like,

757
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: you guys are so dumb. So I think at times

758
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: I was rooting for the monkey more than I was

759
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: for the humans. The cool thing about the making of

760
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: this movie is there is actually somebody inside of the

761
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: monkey suit, and depending on how you feel of your

762
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: ability to overlook some scenes where you can clearly tell

763
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: that there is a human inside of that monkey costume.

764
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: It may lead to you enjoying or not enjoying this

765
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: movie because at times the mask does look a little

766
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: bit fake. And I'm somebody who has been a proponent

767
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: of practical effects, but at times it was very clear

768
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: to me that it was a dude wearing a monkey mask,

769
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: especially in some of the action sequences where he has

770
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: to move quickly or run. But there is a human

771
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: performer inside a band Shout out to Miguel taurus Umba,

772
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: who was an actor and a performer and a movement specialist,

773
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: which I hadn't heard of until researching some things of

774
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: this movie. But he is inside of that suit and

775
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: he gets down low does a really good job at

776
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: portraying the monkey. So I think out of anybody in

777
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: this movie, he had the best performance because he really

778
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: sold me on the movements. It wasn't his fault what

779
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: the costume looked like. So I think those practical effects

780
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: go a long way, and you can tell the actors

781
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: are actually interacting with somebody instead of just interacting with

782
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the person in a green suit that they're going to

783
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: completely change in post production, they are actually getting into

784
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: confrontations with Ben. They are struggling with Ben, and I

785
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: think that at least adds to the performances when it

786
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: came to some of the fights and some of the

787
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: kill scenes. So I'm glad that they did that, But

788
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: there are times where you're gonna be watching it and think, man,

789
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: this looks a little bit low budget. And the other

790
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: thing this movie made me think about who was inspired

791
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: by real events, because in two thousand and nine, there

792
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: was this woman who got attacked by your friend's chimpanzee.

793
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: The woman was named Charlotte Nash and it was a

794
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: friends chimp named Travis, and Travis was familiar with Charlote.

795
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: He knew Charla. But one of the things that they

796
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: pointed out in primate was there as a moment that

797
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: one of the characters is a stranger to Ben and

798
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: he gets a little bit aggressive towards her, and the

799
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: owner of Ben said, Hey, he doesn't really do well

800
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: with strangers. He doesn't recognize you. He might kind of

801
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: act a little bit weird, but I promise you he

802
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: is a good chimp. In the real life case of

803
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: Charlat and Travis in two thousand and nine, kind of

804
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: the same thing happened. They were trying to get Track

805
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: back into the house, and Charlotte was trying to lure

806
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: him in with his toy Elmo doll because the chimp,

807
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: Travis knew Charla knew his Elmo doll. They were just

808
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: trying to get him into the house. He had taken

809
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: his owner's car keys, which is another parallel between this

810
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: real life case and the movie Primate. But Charlotte looked

811
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: a little bit different than what Travis remembered her to

812
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: look like. I think her hair had changed a little bit,

813
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: and there was just something that he did not recognize

814
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: about her, so that's why he attacked her. Travis, the

815
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: chimpanzee tore off her hands, tore off her face, leaving

816
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: her incredibly disfigured, also left her blonde. She ended up

817
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: recovering from her injuries and then in twenty eleven had

818
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: a full facial transplant, which was a crazy story, and

819
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: she did go on to be an advocate on why

820
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: these animals should not be kept as pets. So this

821
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: movie wasn't really inspired by that traumatic event, but while

822
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: watching it, that was immediately what came to mind, and

823
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,959
Speaker 1: I just had to find the parallels between that real

824
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: life story and this fictional story. But this movie did

825
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: win me over a little bit in the third act,

826
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: and overall it was exactly what I thought it was

827
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: going to be. And I know that sounds a little

828
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: bit like an insult. The trailer really told me all

829
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: I needed to know. And it is still the month

830
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: of January, which is dump month at the box office,

831
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: where essentially all the studios are putting out movies that

832
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: they don't think would perform well anywhere else because we're

833
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: coming off the holiday season. On TV, you have a

834
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: lot of things to watch right now with all the

835
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: playoffs going on, so this is usually where they put

836
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: a horror movie like this that maybe, just maybe could

837
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: find its audience have a little bit of success. But overall,

838
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: putting out a movie in January means you don't really

839
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: believe in it, so I think because I had about

840
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: a medium level of expectation going into it, and by

841
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: the end of it, it gave me what I wanted.

842
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: Even though in those first thirty minutes I was like,

843
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: this is getting bad. I saw some people getting a

844
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit restless in the theater, but by the end

845
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: of it, I was like, this was kind of awesome

846
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: but also kind of terrible. So for primate, I give

847
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: it three out of five bananas. God to head down

848
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: to movie Mike trailer parr. If there's one thing the

849
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Internet is going to do, it's going to be get

850
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: upset about the way somebody looks in a biopic. Anytime

851
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: one of these comes out, people have so many thoughts

852
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: on this person looks nothing like them, And for the

853
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: first time, I kind of agree with them because I

854
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: really don't care how much they look like them. To me,

855
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: it matters more how much they embody their spirit. But

856
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to Nicholas Cage as John Madden in

857
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: the John Madden Movie, he looks nothing like him. He

858
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: has prosthetics, he did not gain weight for the role.

859
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: He has a fat suit on instead of going that

860
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: extra step. There was no way he was going to

861
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: look like him. You never look at Nick Cage and think, man,

862
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: you know who he could play somebody in the movie

863
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: John Madden. And for the first time I'm looking at

864
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: this trailer, I'm like, it kind of looks like a parody.

865
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: And I think that is a hard part of making

866
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: the John Madden movie is because he has been parodied

867
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: in things for so long. I mean, I think of

868
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: Frank Caliendo doing John Madden sometimes and I remember the

869
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: actual John Madden. So I feel like this bio pick

870
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: is going to have a little bit of a different

871
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: tone to it, and I think that's a good thing

872
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: because I think overall the genre is a bit stale

873
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: right now. We've had so many biopicks that it just

874
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: gets kind of annoying that I'm surprised and excited because

875
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit refreshing that it's not

876
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: a serious take on his life. It is inspired by

877
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: a true story, which is a major difference, meaning it's

878
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: probably not going to stick to all of the facts

879
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: be completely accurate, but it's going to be a bit

880
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: of a more fun story and take on his life.

881
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: You also have Christian Bale playing Al Davis, who was

882
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: the owner of the Raiders. This movie is coming out

883
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: this year on Thanksgiving on Amazon Prime. Before I get

884
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: into more or here is just a little bit of

885
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: the Madden trailer. There's only one John Madden. They didn't

886
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: make another one. He is one of a kun. Football

887
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't be football without him. I have no idea where

888
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: we are, who we are, where we're coming from, or

889
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: who we're throwing through.

890
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: Very interesting.

891
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: Bow. So this movie is going to be about his story,

892
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: specifically on his nineteen seventy seven Super Bowl win and

893
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 1: then him shifting from coaching into the broadcast booth, as

894
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: well as how he got into the video game industry.

895
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: Why I think it is time for a biopick like this?

896
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: I do think, like I mentioned earlier, the genre is

897
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: so stale. Well we get biopicks now they are painting

898
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: these larger than life characters in a way that really

899
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: glamorizes them. This one already feels different to me. One

900
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: just because Nicholas Cage looks a little bit Calmon Goal

901
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: playing Madden. But then you have Christian Bale, who is

902
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: a fantastic actor who really in just this short clip

903
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: really embonnies Al Davis. But I think this is what

904
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: the genre needs to do in order to get people

905
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: to care. And why are biopicks so attractive to studios?

906
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: It's an easy thing. They already have a built in audience.

907
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: So whenever a studio is banking and investing money in

908
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: a movie, they want to make sure right now that

909
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: there is a fan base for it. There is a

910
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: demand for it. That's why we see so many sequels

911
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: and prequels and spinoffs. Biopicks still fall in that category

912
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: because John matt and the person. While it's not a

913
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: brand like Marvel or a Spider Man or Superman, that

914
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 1: type of IP or Harry Potter, it is different because

915
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: he is a historical and a public figure who already

916
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: has a built in fan base, not just from him

917
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: as a person, but also from the video game, which

918
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: I think is what I'm probably more interested in when

919
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 1: it comes to this biopick. I played that all the time.

920
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: Madd In two thousand and seven to me was the

921
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: best Madden of all time, had the greatest soundtrack. I

922
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: played that game so much that there are songs like

923
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: Cartel's Say Anything Else that I will hear out randomly

924
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: and it instantly takes me back to playing Madden seven.

925
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: And John mulaney in this movie is going to play

926
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: Trip Hopkins, who was the person responsible for signing John

927
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: Madden to be a spokesperson and consultant for the game

928
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: company and the first video game, John Madden Football, came

929
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: out back in nineteen eighty eight, and at that time

930
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: there were football video games, but they were very dumb

931
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 1: down versions of what Madden wanted in a video game

932
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: because they were not even eleven man rosters. They were

933
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: just super simplified and really easy because they wanted to

934
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: make it appealing to people who didn't know anything about

935
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: football and didn't want to overcomplicate it. But when they

936
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: went to John Madden, he said, I don't want to

937
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: do that. I want to make a game that is

938
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: so accurate that focuses on the plays and strategy, to

939
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: show people the mechanics of what it's like to call

940
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: plays and design a game that embody that experience, so you,

941
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: by playing this video game, start to learn about what

942
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: it takes to be a coach, essentially, so much so

943
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: that so many people play Madden at home will turn

944
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 1: their attention to watching football on Sunday and think, man,

945
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: I could coach that. All I have to do is

946
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: do what I do with Madden, and I can win

947
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: this game. It is not that easy, but in some

948
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: regard you do learn some of the basics, and that

949
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: was a big part of what John Madden wanted to do.

950
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: He wanted to bring in those things that seemed a

951
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: little bit complicated but knew that it would be worth

952
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: it in the end to make it as realistic as possible,

953
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: and that is the Madden game we know today. I mean,

954
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: he even gave EA Sports his playbook and his strategies

955
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: so they could build it into the game. So I

956
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: think that is really cool, and they still crank out

957
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: those games after every single year. I probably haven't purchased

958
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: my a Madden game in three years now, maybe even

959
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: four or five. The last five years kind of led together.

960
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: But if I could go back and just play one

961
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: Madden game for the rest of my life, it would

962
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: be Madden two thousand and seven had the best soundtrack

963
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: of all time and the best mini camp mode. In

964
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: this supporting cast, you also have Catherine Hahn as John

965
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: Madden's wife, Virginia Madden, and like I mentioned earlier, John

966
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: Mullaney is going to play Trip Hopkins, who is the

967
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: guy at EA Sports that brought John Madden in And

968
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: I could just imagine John Mullaney in this movie. Hey John,

969
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: I got this idea for a video game, and I

970
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: need JET help. I hope at some point John Mullaney

971
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: and Christian Bale cross pass, mainly because I want John

972
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: Mullaney to take whatever experience that is because I have

973
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: to imagine that Christian Bale on set is just a

974
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: very intense presence. And that doesn't mean I think he's

975
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: mean or a jerk. I just have to imagine when

976
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: you go onto a set with Christian Bale, that is

977
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: something he takes very seriously. When he is there, I

978
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 1: imagine he is so in the zone there to work.

979
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: He only wants to work with the most professional of professionals.

980
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: And John Mulaney, who is a professional, really good comedian,

981
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: has stepped into acting a little bit. I just have

982
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: to imagine that is such an interesting dynamic between them two.

983
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: He seems like he would not want to make any

984
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: mistake around Christian Bale, and I wonder how Christian Bale's

985
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: intensity is, especially with the character like Al Davis, is

986
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: around a more comedic person like John Mulaney. You also

987
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: have Shane Gillis in the cast, so again, I feel

988
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: like this film is going to have a lot of comedy,

989
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: which I think is something that people might not know

990
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: they wanted from this movie. And I don't think Nicholas

991
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: Cage is going to go too over the top as

992
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: far as try to make John Madden seem like a

993
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: big comical character, but there are moments in the trailer

994
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: where he does feel very John Candy, So maybe he

995
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: was channeling a little bit of Madden, a little bit

996
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: of John Candy. But I just feel like Nicholas Cage

997
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: is an actor who is a wild card. You never

998
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: know what type of role he is going to take

999
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: on next. And while he doesn't entirely look like John Madden,

1000
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: I am ready to go on this ride. But Madden

1001
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: is coming out at the end of this year, which

1002
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: is wild to get a trailer so early on in

1003
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: the year where we basically have to wait eleven months

1004
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 1: for it. But it's coming out Thanksgiving twenty twenty six

1005
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime. And that goes this week's edition of

1006
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: Movie Mike Trailer Bars, and that is going to do

1007
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: it for another episode here of the podcast. But before

1008
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: I go, I got to give my listeners shout out

1009
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: of the week. This week, I'm going over to my

1010
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: Instagram dms and shouting out to Jenny who asked me

1011
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: a question after I reposted the Avengers teaser that we

1012
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: were talking about earlier with Cyclops and the X Men,

1013
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: and she asked, do I have to watch the X

1014
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: Men to get Avengers Doomsday. I have watched most of

1015
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: the Avengers movies and the Marvel movies, but do I

1016
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: need to go back and rewatch the original X Men? Jenny,

1017
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: thank you for this question, because I think it is

1018
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: one I get often every time a new Marvel movie

1019
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: comes out. I really don't think you need to do

1020
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: that anymore. The only time you really need to watch

1021
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 1: every single Marvel movie is if it's in a phase,

1022
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 1: and right now we are in Phase six that kicked

1023
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: off last year with a fantastic four First Steps, and

1024
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: then this year, on the thirty first that we talked

1025
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: about earlier, you get Spider Man Brand New Day and

1026
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: Avengers dooms Day is going to be the third movie

1027
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: in this phase. I think if you only watch phase

1028
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: by phase, that is really all you need to know.

1029
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: And I think they've done a better job at making

1030
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these stories a little bit more self contained,

1031
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: and they're gonna reference some things here and there, but

1032
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: it's not gonna leave you completely lost. And if you

1033
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: go into Avengers Doomsday even without seeing those first two

1034
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: films in this phase, I do think that you're going

1035
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: to be completely lost. As far as maybe the first

1036
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: ten minutes of the movie, but I think they've gotten

1037
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: to a point where they know everybody is not watching everything.

1038
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: Whenever all the shows were coming out on Disney Plus

1039
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: and those things were connecting, I think they realized that

1040
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: people got annoyed with that and they weren't watching everything,

1041
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: and therefore it was confusing when you'd go to the

1042
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: theater and you feel penalized because you didn't watch something

1043
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: at home on Disney Plus. It felt like a little

1044
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: bit too much. I think in order to answer your

1045
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: question here, Jenny, you don't really need to go back

1046
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: and watch The x Men, as far as you need

1047
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: to watch that in order to understand Doomsday, but I

1048
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,479
Speaker 1: think the weight of the characters returning in Doomsday will

1049
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: not have any effect on you, which to me, James

1050
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: Marsen returning after twenty years is a big deal to me.

1051
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: But you also can't go back and build that anticipation.

1052
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: I think, really now it comes down to how hardcore

1053
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: of a fan do you want to be where you

1054
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to watch everything to understand it, but

1055
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: you do need to watch everything in order to feel it,

1056
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: because when you go through all these things, in real time,

1057
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: and you spend all these years inside of this franchise,

1058
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: jumping with all these characters, that is when you feel

1059
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: it more.

1060
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 2: So.

1061
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: I think they do these things to be a real

1062
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: service to the fans. But I think strictly as a

1063
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: viewer of the movie, you don't need to do all

1064
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: the homework anymore in order to understand it, especially with

1065
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: you have already watched all the Avengers movies your set,

1066
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: because really you could just watch all the Avengers movies together,

1067
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: and I feel like that would be a continuous story. Enough.

1068
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: Will you get every single reference? No, but you're not

1069
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: going to be thirty minutes into the movie thinking what

1070
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: is happening? I have no idea. That is just not

1071
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: how these movies work. That's not really how any movie

1072
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 1: works unless you don't pay attention and you're on your

1073
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: phone the entire time. So if you really want to

1074
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: go back and watch I would say the first three

1075
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: X Men movies, I would say watch them just because

1076
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: they aren't great and I love those characters, but you

1077
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: don't need to to understand. If you want to be

1078
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 1: super informed going into Doomsday, I would say, as long

1079
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: as you watch Fantastic Four, you will understand what is happening,

1080
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: and then Spider Man when it comes out in July.

1081
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: Aside from that, I think you'd be good because Thunderbolts

1082
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: was really the ending to not only Phase five, but

1083
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: a lot of what they were trying that didn't really

1084
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: work out, going all the way back to Black Widow,

1085
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: Shang Chi Eternals, Spider Man, No Way Home, Doctor Strange,

1086
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor Love and Thunder, Black Panther,

1087
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: Waconda Forever, which to me is kind of adjacent from

1088
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: everything that kind of stands alone Quantum Mania. They're not

1089
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: going to bring anything out of that. Guardians of the

1090
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: Galaxy Volume three, also in Phase five. Those movies exist

1091
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: to me in their own world really, even though they connect.

1092
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: But I feel like that is just a solid trilogy

1093
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: on its own. The Marvels, you don't need to watch

1094
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: that Dead Wolverine. While it is a fun and a

1095
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: big movie inside of the MCU, I don't really feel

1096
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: like it connects much. Deadpoole does have some connection to

1097
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: the X Men, obviously, but there wasn't a whole lot

1098
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: of plot development or world building as far as the

1099
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: MCU as a whole. In that movie, so unless you

1100
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: just want to watch it for pure enjoyment, I don't

1101
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: think a whole lot is going to carry over, aside

1102
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: from Wolverine himself, Captain America, Brave New World, even if

1103
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: that movie connected, if you don't need to watch that

1104
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: one and Thunderbolts. I really enjoyed it, and I think

1105
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: the Thunderbolts obviously are going to return in Doomsday, and

1106
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: they are billed as the new Avengers. So while not

1107
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: entirely necessary, if you watch Fantastic Four and just want

1108
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: to go back a movie before that, go with the Thunderbolts.

1109
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: But aside from that, you are good. I think we

1110
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: are starting fresh, especially with DC right now restarting the

1111
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: entire thing, and they're gonna feel more at competition that

1112
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: they ever have the fight between DC and Marvel. I

1113
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: think they are moving on and let's reset this timeline.

1114
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: So thank you for this question, thank you all for listening,

1115
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: thank you for being subscribed, thank you for telling a friend,

1116
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: And until next time, go out and watch good movies

1117
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later
