In a world where everyone and their 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the 18 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast, 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like 20 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: a walking AUMTV with Clive from the Nastril podcast net 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: movie podinast Quentin Tarantino is reportedly working on his final movie. 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: It is called The Movie Critic. If there was ever 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: a movie I was going to be a part of, 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: this would be it. So Quentin Tarantino, I am available. 25 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: I will clear out my entire schedule to be a 26 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: part of this movie. In all seriousness, though, if there 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: is one director that I would like to sit down 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: with and talk to about movies, it would be Quentin Tarantino. 29 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: And as we are going to get into in this 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: entire list, I will tell you about all the things 31 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: that I love about as films, I would have to 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: say he is my favorite director. As basic as that 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: may sound, as much of a film burrow that it 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: may make me out to be, he is just somebody 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: whose work I look at and think that is exactly 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: what I want to see when I go to the movies. 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: I love how much of a nerd he is. This 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: guy loves talking about film, but not even just film 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: in regards to movies, literal film, the seventy millimeter film 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: used to make a movie. He could go on and 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: on about it. That's why I love listening to interviews 42 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: with him. So I am a little sad that he 43 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: is going to hang it up as a director after 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: ten movies. This is something he's been saying for a 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: very long time. Now he's doing ten movies and done, 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: but the project doesn't have a studio yet, although Sony 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: is rumored to be a potential candidate for this movie. 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: There aren't a whole lot of details out about this 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: movie yet, but it's set to be set in the 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: late seventies in Los Angeles, not a lot of big 51 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: surprises there. It has a female lead. Some sources have 52 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: been speculating that the movie may focus on a very 53 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: influential movie critic named Pauline Koe and I actually heard 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: him recently in an interview talking about her because he 55 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: was out promoting his book and he had asked her 56 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: why she had never written a book, and she said, 57 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: why would I write a book. I've already told my 58 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: story in every single movie review that I've done, and 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: that really set in with me, and I think that 60 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: is something I've tried to carry over onto this podcast 61 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: and something to you, because yes, I do this podcast 62 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: because I love movies. I like talking about why I 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: enjoy or dislike movies, but I also set out to 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: share a little slice of myself, and each of those 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: movie reviews so that quote has really stayed embedded in 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: my head ever since I heard him talking about her. 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: So if it is based on her, that would be amazing. 68 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: So before we get into this list, let's learn a 69 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: little bit about our director, Quentin Tarantino. First of all, 70 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: what exactly is a director? The term gets thrown around 71 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: so many times. Maybe at this point you're afraid to ask, 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: So that's okay, you don't have to worry about that 73 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: on this podcast. A director is the creative lead in 74 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: a film. They are the ones responsible for holding the 75 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: creative vision throughout the whole process, from the pre production 76 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to the final edit. It all falls on their shoulders. 77 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: A movie has an executive producer or a producer, and 78 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: they are the ones who hire their director, and that 79 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: director ultimately becomes in charge of the entire production, so 80 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: they are the ones behind it all. They work with 81 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: the cinematographer to get the look of the movie. They're 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: involved in the editing sum directors will edit a movie themselves. 83 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: A director like Quentin Tarantino is very involved most of 84 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: the time, not only directing but also writing his movies. 85 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: It all goes back to him as a teenager. He 86 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: started writing movies at the age of fourteen, and then 87 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: he dropped out of school in sixteen to train to 88 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: be an actor. He dropped out after two years and 89 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: started working at a video rental store called Video Archives, 90 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: and that is where his true love of movies really 91 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: began to flourish because he was around him every single day. 92 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: He said, this is what influenced his directorial choices. He 93 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: loves seeing people come in pick out a movie and 94 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: asking them why they wanted to see this movie. Quentin 95 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Tarantino is a two time Oscar winner, both for Original Screenplay. 96 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: He won in ninety five with Pulp Fiction and twenty 97 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: thirteen with Djengo Unchained, but he has never won an 98 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: Oscar for Best Director. So maybe for his tenth film. Maybe, 99 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: as we saw at this last Oscars, it was a 100 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: lot of people who have been snubbed throughout the year 101 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: finally getting their flowers. So how perfect a bookend it 102 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: would be if Quentin Tarantino put out this tenth and 103 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: final film about a movie critic, truly playing in to 104 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: the movie critics who are part of the academy that 105 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: will make this decision for him to win that at 106 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: the end of his career, allegedly that would make everything 107 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: come full circle. And finally, before we get into the list, 108 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: what makes a Quentin Tarantino movie a Tarantino movie. You'll 109 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: find a lot of themes when breaking down his movies 110 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: that we're going to get into. A lot of pop culture, 111 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: a lot of dark humor, a lot of nonlinear storylines, 112 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: lots of fun cameos, but most importantly, heavy use of profanity. 113 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: I love that every movie has a look and a 114 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: feel to it, and in my head, all of Quentin 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: Tarantino's movies exist in this same universe. But I'm pretty 116 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: sure he would hate that idea and never set out 117 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: to create an entire Quentin Tarantino universe. So that is 118 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about our director. Now let's get into 119 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: the list. At number nine from twenty fifteen, I have 120 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: The Hateful Eight. It has the longest runtime out of 121 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: any Quentin Tarantino movie at two hours and fifty five minutes, 122 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: almost three hours long, and it is the one movie 123 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: he has that I feel does not warrant that long 124 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: of a run time. If you haven't seen it, this 125 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: movie is a Western set in the dead. It's about 126 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: a bounty hunter and his prisoner, who finds shelter in 127 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: a cabin and then discover all these crazy people living 128 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: there as well. The movie made one hundred and fifty 129 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: two million dollars at the box office. I feel like 130 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: this movie is about fifty five minutes too long, and 131 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: if there was one movie to be stricken from his 132 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: career that I would not miss, this would be the 133 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: only one. I don't believe he's ever made a bad movie, 134 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: but this is one I saw once and never had 135 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: to revisit again. He loves westerns. Every interview I see 136 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: him do, he loves talking about spaghetti westerns. It's a 137 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: very classic Hollywood concept which he is just always drawn to. 138 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: And I feel like, out of all of his movies, 139 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: even more so than Once upon a Time in Hollywood, 140 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: this was the most self indulgent of just all the 141 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: things he likes, and that is what nerds do. I 142 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: can respect that you are super into something you want 143 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: to make a movie completely about that subject. That's fine, 144 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: But this one just doesn't really hit for me. There 145 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: are so many plot points in this movie where I 146 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: felt like it just dragged along, and I think that's 147 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: because I just don't like westerns. It has some decent performances, 148 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: some good scenes. It's not a poorly written movie, but overall, 149 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to the story in this movie, it's 150 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the weakest of anything he's ever written. So at number 151 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: nine we are going with the Hateful Late from twenty fifteen. 152 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: At number eight from two thousand and four, I have 153 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Kill Bill Volume two. This movie made one hundred and 154 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: fifty four million dollars at the box office. It is 155 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: the continuation the sequel of Kill Bill Volume one, where 156 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: the bride played by Uma Thurman continues request of vengeance 157 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: against her former boss and lover Bill, the reclusive bouncer Bud, 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: and the treacherous one Idol. This was a big hit 159 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: for Quentin Tarantino. It actually made more than Kill Bill 160 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Volume one. And the thing about him, he doesn't make sequels. 161 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: And the only reason there are two parts to this 162 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: movie is because it was originally intended to be one big, 163 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: long movie, but he thought a three plus four hour 164 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: movie would not screen so well people wouldn't want to 165 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: be invested in that, so he decided to split it 166 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: into volume one and volume two, so if you watch 167 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: them all together, it does feel like one big movie. 168 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: But what a genius decision to split it up make 169 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: a lot more money off of this when essentially all 170 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: you had to do was film one big, long movie. 171 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: So I think that's why I like Volume one better. 172 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: This one has a little bit more of a slow burn. 173 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: There's some good dialogue, some solid action, but doesn't quite 174 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: compare two part one. So maybe it's a good thing 175 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: that he doesn't make sequels. He puts everything all into 176 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: one part of a movie and then that's it. So 177 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: that's why I put this one at number eight. At 178 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: number seven from nineteen ninety two, I'm putting Reservoir Dogs. 179 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: It has the shortest run time out of any Quentin 180 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: Tarantino movie, at only an hour and thirty nine minutes. 181 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: It is also the lowest grossing movie out of any 182 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: of his films, making only two point ninety nine million 183 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: dollars at the box office. But why is that. It's 184 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: because it was his directorial debut and was only shown 185 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: on a very limited amount of screens. But that didn't matter. 186 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: This movie made him what seemed like a overnight success, 187 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: so despite that small number at the box office, this 188 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: is what rose him to directorial fame. After this movie 189 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: premiered at the Cane Film Festival. He couldn't go walk 190 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: out on the street with how people recognizing him. And 191 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: this movie was so ahead of its time that everybody 192 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: just started doing copycat versions of Reservoir Dogs. If you 193 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: look at movies in the nineties, everybody wanted to have 194 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: a story like this. The list goes on and on 195 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: with Reservoir Dog copycats, the most famous one for me 196 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: being The Boondock Saints. That's exactly the this movie. If 197 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: you haven't seen Reservoir Dogs. The movie is about a 198 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: simple jewelry heighst going horribly wrong, and the surviving criminals 199 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant. 200 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: And I rarely say this, especially about his movies, but 201 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: this is one I wish was longer. I remember the 202 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: first time I watched this, I was thinking, that's it, 203 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: like I want to see more. Great movie. Put them 204 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: on the map. Reservoir Dogs is in at number seven. 205 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: At number six from twenty nineteen, I'm going with Once 206 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: Upon a Time in Hollywood, where the runtime of two 207 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: hours and forty minutes. It is his third longest movie. 208 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: It's about a faded television actor played by Leonardo DiCaprio 209 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: and his stunt double played by Brad Pitt, trying to 210 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: make a comeback and achieve that fame and success that 211 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: he achieved in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age 212 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine Los Angeles. The movie made three 213 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven million dollars worldwide. And this is 214 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: part of Quentin Tarantino's revisionist tales which he is famous for. 215 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: This one follows the Manson murders and it's probably his 216 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: most sophisticated movie. And I think that's why people love 217 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: or hate this movie. I feel like critics love this movie, 218 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: but the average movie goer did not care for this 219 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: movie whatsoever. And I think why that is is because 220 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: this movie has a very laid back plot. It's a 221 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: lot of hanging out, it's a lot of slow action 222 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: without a big narrative over the entire thing. So it 223 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: feels unlike any other Quentin Tarantino movie. It's really his 224 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: love later to Hollywood again. He is fascinated with old 225 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: school Hollywood Los Angeles in the sixties seventies. That is 226 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: his jam, that is his jelly. So he set out 227 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: to make a movie have that look have that feel 228 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: if his career existed in the sixties and seventies, this 229 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: is the type of movie he would have been making 230 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: around that time. So I think the theme we see 231 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: here is he is self indulgent, but unlike in Hateful Eight, 232 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: where he just made a right up Western, I felt 233 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: like it lent itself to a much more fun movie 234 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: going experience, and I enjoyed watching this movie in theaters. 235 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: I will say this movie felt a little bit long 236 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: the first run through at two hours and forty minutes, 237 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: but for some reason, I just liked the aesthetic of it. 238 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: I like the feeling, the coloring of this movie, so 239 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed this movie. I will say I completely 240 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: love it enough to put it in my top three. 241 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: The reason that is it doesn't have as much of 242 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: a rewatchability as some of his other movies. But you 243 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: can't deny having Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio together, two 244 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: of the biggest movie stars ever appearing like this is 245 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: what I live for. But I get why of all 246 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: the people I've told about this movie, most of them 247 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: hate it. Not me. I love Brad Pitt's performance as 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: this aging stuntman. I love the rewriting history Margot Robbie, 249 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: and of course it produced one of my favorite memes 250 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: ever of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV. So at 251 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: number six is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. At 252 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: number five, I'm going with the movie from nineteen ninety seven, 253 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: Jackie Brown, with a runtime of two hours and thirty 254 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: four minutes. This is one of his most underrated movies 255 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: of all time. The movie is about a flight attendant 256 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: with a criminal past who gets caught by the ATF 257 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: for smuggling and then they enforce her to become an 258 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: informant against the drug dealer that she works for, so 259 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: she has to find a way to get out of 260 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: this entire situation without being killed. Pam Grier is amazing 261 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: in this movie, but unfortunately, this is the movie that 262 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: people are probably the most unfamiliar with from Quentin Tarantino. 263 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: Some people would even say it's his most forgettable movie. 264 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: And to those people, I say, what is wrong with you? 265 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: I love the movies of Quentin Tarantinos that focus on 266 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,119 Speaker 1: a strong female lead, badass women, and that is exactly 267 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: what Pam Grier does playing Jackie Brown. So maybe out 268 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: of any one of his movies. It's the most straight ahead. 269 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: And yes, you could argue if he stayed in this style, 270 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: we would not be talking about him today. He would 271 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: just become another director that had a hit in the 272 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: nineties and then did a bunch of average movies. But 273 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: to me, out of any of his movies, this has 274 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: the best work when it comes to the writing, the 275 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: fleshing out of all these characters, from Pam Greer to 276 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Samuel L. Jackson, who plays one of his most unhinged 277 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: characters out of any Quentin Tarantino movie that he's been in. 278 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: So if you have not seen Jackie Brown, or maybe 279 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: you haven't watched it since the nineties, go do it 280 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: today because this movie is great and it lands at 281 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: number five on my list at number four. Speaking of 282 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: awesome female leads, I am going with Kill Bill from 283 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, with the runtime at one hour 284 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: and fifty one minutes. Uma Thurman plays the bride for 285 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: the very first time in this movie. She's just awoken 286 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: from a four year coma after being betrayed by a 287 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: former assassin, and she goes wreaking havoc and seeking revenge. 288 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: And Kill Bill was his first movie since Jackie Brown, 289 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: So there was a big gap between nineteen ninety seven 290 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: and two thousand and three, so I felt like that 291 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: was a contributing factor to They're being build up. They're 292 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: being hype around this movie, Quentin Tarantino being back with 293 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: another strong female lead, but this one took it up 294 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: on an entirely different level because he created one of 295 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: the best action movies of the two thousands. The movie 296 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: made one hundred and eighty million dollars worldwide on a 297 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: thirty million dollar budget, which is bizarre to me that 298 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: this movie was made with thirty million dollars, with all 299 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: of the action sequences, the amazing wardrobe in this movie, 300 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: landing a big star like Uma Thurman to play the lead, 301 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: and the entire thing playing out like a twisted, dark 302 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: bedtime story that you would tell your kids. I love 303 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: the narration in this movie, but I think what sets 304 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: this movie apart from every other movie that I've talked 305 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: about so far is the final scene. One of the 306 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: best third acts in any action movie. The first time 307 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: I saw that, it blew my mind. Uma Thurman in 308 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: that yellow outfit resembling Bruce Lee slicing people up left 309 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: and right, the bride became one of the most recognizable 310 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: female protagonists of all time. In the two thousand you 311 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: cannot escape a teenage boys bedroom without seeing a kill 312 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: Bill poster planted up on the wall. So at number four, 313 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: because of all those things, I have Kill Bill from 314 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and three getting into the top three. Now 315 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: at number three, I'm going with Pulp Fiction from nineteen 316 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: ninety four, with a runtime of two hours and thirty 317 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: four minutes. The movie follows the lives of two mob hitman, 318 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a pair 319 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: of diner bandits and how all their four lives are intertwined. 320 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: The movie made two hundred and thirteen million dollars worldwide. 321 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: It has what I would say is the best soundtrack 322 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: out of any Quentin Tarantino movie, and it has the 323 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: most non linear narrative out of any of his movies. 324 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: And that is the best thing about Pulp Fiction. The 325 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: way I was introduced to this movie, the movie came 326 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: out in ninety four before I saw because I was 327 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: three years old. In ninety four, I saw a Simpsons 328 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: episode called twenty two Short Films about Springfield, which came 329 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: out in nineteen ninety six. Season seven, episode twenty one. 330 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: I have those memorized. The only TV show that I 331 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: can tell you exactly the episode title, what season, and 332 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: what episode number, because I had all the box sets 333 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: of DVDs. Anyway, in that episode, they do a parody 334 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: of pulp fiction, and that is how I was exposed 335 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: to it. They play out the entire thing exactly how 336 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: it's done in the movie is how it's done in 337 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: the episode. It intertwines all the wives of the people 338 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: in Springfield and they break it down. Scene for seeing, 339 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: you have snake running over Chie Wigham when he encounters 340 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: them in the street, they start fighting. They get thrown 341 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: into the guy's basement. So I remember watching that as 342 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: a kid and thinking, Ah, the Simpsons, they're so creative, 343 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: and then realizing, Oh, that's actually a movie. Simpsons do 344 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: that a lot. I'm exposed to a lot of their 345 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: parodies before I even realize they're an actual movie. I 346 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: should probably do an episode on that. I think what 347 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: this movie really established for him is how incredible he 348 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: is at creating dialogue. This movie has some of the 349 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: best dialogue out of any movie from the nineties. I 350 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: credit a lot of that to Samuel L. Jackson's character 351 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: who drops so many f words but has so many 352 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: memorable lines say what a day, I care il gare you, 353 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one more times, or even just the 354 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: one liners. This is a tasty burger. But most importantly, 355 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: this movie showcased how great of a storyteller he is. 356 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: It also gave us one of the best dance scenes, 357 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: and just has a really amazing cast from Quentin Tarantino 358 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: himself has a role in this. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, 359 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Christopher Walking, being Rames. 360 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: This list goes on and on and on and on 361 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: and on. Steve Bushemi and it was also one of 362 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: the first times I was introduced to how much he 363 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: pays attention to the little things in a movie. My 364 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: favorite movies of his have scenes with food that make 365 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: me want to eat whatever that character is eating, And 366 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: for this movie, it would be the big Khuna burger 367 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: that Samuel L. Jackson takes a big old bite out of. 368 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: This gives a tasty burger. It's a tasty burger. It's 369 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: a tasty movie. At number three is pulp fiction from 370 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. At number two from twenty twelve, I'm 371 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: Going with Django Unchained. With a runtime of two hours 372 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: and forty five minutes, it is his second longest film 373 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: and the theme of this movie is revenge. With the 374 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave played 375 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: by Jamie Fox sets out to rescue his wife from 376 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: a brutal plantation owner in Mississippi. The movie made four 377 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars at the box office. So 378 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: much money, I said, million weird. Four hundred and fifty 379 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: million dollars. It is his highest grossing film of all time. 380 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: In his movie that probably pushed the envelope the most 381 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to the subject matter when it comes 382 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: to the dialogue, when it comes to all of the 383 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: curse words, when it comes to the use of other words. 384 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: It is probably the one that people criticize the most. 385 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: That people just had something to say about this movie. 386 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: It is at times hard to watch, but man, there 387 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: are so many great performances in this movie from Carrie Washington, 388 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: Christoph Waltz, Jamie Fox, who you see a side of 389 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: him come out that you've never really seen before. And 390 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: a lot of that is due to the performance that 391 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino was able to get out of him, and 392 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: how much he worked with him on really fine tuning 393 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: who Django is and really getting him into the headspace 394 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: of what his character would be experiencing at this time, 395 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: so you don't really see the cool, calm collective Jamie Fox. 396 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: He was able to take that all away and take 397 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: on the role of Django. This is a movie that 398 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: opened on Christmas Day, which is I believe at the 399 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: time was the third movie Quentin Tarantino had come out 400 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. It was Django, Unchained, Jackie Brown, and 401 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Hateful Late all came out on Christmas Day. I don't 402 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: necessarily think of Quentin Tarantino when it comes to Christmas, 403 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: but hey, I'll take Blood and Guts over any other 404 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: Christmas movie. The costumes in this movie are a plus. 405 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: The food imagery is also a top notch. I love 406 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: the white cake. I love the scene when Django and 407 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: Doctor King Schultz meet for the first time. They poured 408 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: themselves a beer. It looks all foamy. He slabs off 409 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: that foam with that little metal spoon looking thing, and 410 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't drink beer anymore, but man, I would take 411 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: one of those beers right now. This movie is what 412 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: I would consider his second masterpiece. I believe what I 413 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: put at number two and number one are two masterpieces 414 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: that I would change nothing about these films. I think 415 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: what he created in this movie was a villain that 416 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: you just hate, you completely utterly hate. Sometimes you can 417 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: find a little shred of good in a villain, you 418 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: see some kind of humility, but there is nothing good 419 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: about Leonardo DiCaprio's character in this movie. And what I 420 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: loved about Django Unchained is how they were able to 421 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: create such tension, and that is something that maybe Quentin 422 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Tarantino doesn't get enough credit for the ability to create 423 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: tension with a camera, with dialogue, with amazing actors. That's 424 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: all you need, no special effects, no really tricks to editing. 425 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: That's it. That is the power of dialogue. That is 426 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: the power of good writing. And I love when Quentin 427 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: tarantino movies have this moment where everything just goes down 428 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: as hits the wall and all the cards get thrown 429 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: on the table, and that's what happens in the dinner 430 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: scene where Leonardo DiCaprio's character, the villain in the movie, 431 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: completely loses it and tensions are at all time high. 432 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: Hi sat on that tabletop. If you lift those palms 433 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: off that tunnel shell tabletops both fails. That sought off. 434 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: That is such a powerful scene. Leonardo DiCaprio proves that 435 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: he is the best actor. He actually cut his hand 436 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: with glass while hitting the Table's continued to stay in 437 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: character and play out the scene with real blood. I 438 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: think the blood they actually used to smear on Kerry 439 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: Washington's face ended up being fake blood after you got 440 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: checked out, but still an amazing moment. I hated Leonardo 441 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: DiCaprio's character, but I loved the way he talked. Make 442 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: these gentlemen receipt for twelve thousand dollars peace. It was 443 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: a pleasure doing business with y'all. Now, gentlemen, if you 444 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: care to join me in the Paula, we will be 445 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: serving white cake like I wanted that Bikahuna burger, like 446 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: I wanted a drink of that beer. I wanted a 447 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: piece of that white cake. Gentlemen, you have my curiosity, 448 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: but now you have my attention. So at number two, 449 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: I am going with Django unchained from twenty twelve. Before 450 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: we get to number one, there are some honorable mentions. 451 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: Even though he only has nine movies he considers to 452 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: be his full length feature films, he does have another 453 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: couple of movies that he has directed, death Proof, which 454 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: came out in two thousand and seven, which was a 455 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: double feature, a Grindhouse production with his director Buddy Robert Rodriguez. 456 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: So the second part of this was his movie Planet Terror. 457 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: I don't know why he doesn't consider this to be 458 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: one of his movies. I guess because it was that 459 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: joint project. But death Proof is pretty solid my favorite 460 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: of those two movies. What happened to be Planet Terror though, 461 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: so maybe that's why he doesn't count it. But the 462 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: movie did make fifty million dollars at the box office. 463 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: The other honorable mention would be from Dusk Till Dawn, 464 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: which he didn't direct, but he starred in it and 465 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: he wrote it. But that movie was directed again by 466 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: his director, Buddy Robert Rodriguez. A great movie if you 467 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: haven't seen that one and you want to see his 468 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: acting abilities, which he's not the best actor. He is 469 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: a good actor, but I really like him as one 470 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: of the leads in that movie alongside George Gloody. And 471 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: he also co wrote and directed a movie called My 472 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: Best Friend's Birthday, which came out in nineteen eighty seven, 473 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: which most of the film reels were almost completely destroyed 474 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: in a fire, so good luck finding that one, But 475 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: at number one, the best Quentin Tarantino movie of all 476 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: time if you haven't guested by now from two thousand 477 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: and nine, it is Inglorious Bastards, with the runtime of 478 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: two hours and thirty three minutes. The movie is again 479 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino rewriting history. It takes place in Nazi occupied 480 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: France during World War Two. You have a group of 481 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: Jewish US soldiers on a mission to assassinate Nazi leaders, 482 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: including Hitler, and that just so happens to coincide with 483 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: a theater owner's vengeful plan to do the exact same thing. Again. 484 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: The theme here is revenge, and this movie gave me 485 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: the most gratifying feeling of revenge I've ever felt in 486 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: a movie, and it made me fall in love with 487 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: the idea of a movie and rewriting history. And what 488 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: a subject to pick World War Two, where you have 489 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: the most hateful figure in all of history, Hitler, and 490 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: being able to make a movie where he completely gets obliterated, 491 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: and all the Nazi ideology is just viewed and portrayed 492 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: in a way that it is this ugly, disgusting force, 493 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: and all the people they have done wrong, all of 494 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: the people that they have killed, are able to rise 495 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: up and fight back and unleash that same vengeful power 496 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: against them that is so powerful. You have an incredible 497 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: cast in this movie from Brad Pitt again in my 498 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: favorite role that he has ever done, playing although the Apache, 499 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: I just love the way he just talks in this movie. Now, 500 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't think so more like chewed out. I've been 501 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: chewed out before. And Quentin Tarantino made Christoph Waltz a 502 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: star with this movie, playing one of the most hated 503 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: villains in all of cinema. That's a dingo? Is that 504 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: the way you say that's a bingo? You just say 505 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: bengo bingo? Fun. Sorry, I get so excited about that scene. 506 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: And then I love all the side characters, the supporting 507 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: cast from Eli Roth as the Bear, jew bj Novak 508 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: as the little Man. You have Hugo sticklets, all of 509 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 1: these just cool names that combined with the look and 510 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: feel of this movie having a red color palette. If 511 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: I could get a color palette tattooed on my back. 512 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: It would be the Inglorious Bastards color palette because it 513 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: just looks so so beautiful. And this movie has my 514 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: favorite moments of tension that we've been talking about on 515 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: this episode. The scene at the bar wherever all the 516 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: US soldiers are there but posing as Nazi soldiers, and 517 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: how you can create this incredible standoff that all just 518 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: begins from these characters having a conversation. And now every 519 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: single word on that page of script is so important 520 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: to building that tension, and just the small little inflections 521 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: that they do that add so much weight to the scene. 522 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: And then it's all the bullets flying of course that 523 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: makes it visually stimulating, and the very grotesque, very brutal 524 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: violence that ensues after that is you know, Quentin Tarantino's edge, 525 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: But it all comes back to that dialogue and that's 526 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: what makes them so powerful. Again, just the camera, just actors, 527 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: just the words on the page are able to do this, 528 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: and that is the best example of it in this movie. 529 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: And then it has the best use of food in 530 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: any of his movies when Hans is interrogating Shoshana, and 531 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: then you have the strudal with the krem Hall. I 532 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: would take that brutal interrogation just to have a bite 533 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: of that strudal. You also have one of the most 534 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: satisfying third acts when you make it to that theater 535 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: in Paris and her plan succeeds where she is able 536 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: to lock all of these Nazis in this room, including Hitler, 537 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: and burn the place to the ground. So you have 538 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: one of the best movies of all time, one of 539 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: the best villains, the best dialogue, the best cinematography. It 540 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: is a perfect movie. It is his only other second masterpiece, 541 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: and on top of that, it was my best movie 542 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: theater experience of the two thousands. Came at a time 543 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: where I really needed a movie like this. I had 544 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: just graduated high school in two thousand and nine. Came 545 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: out in the summer. I was in that weird transition 546 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: where you go from high school to college. In this 547 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: movie is the best thing that happened to me that year, 548 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: And a movie that has a runtime of two hours 549 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: and thirty three minutes does not feel like that whatsoever. 550 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: I watched this movie recently. I started it on a plane, 551 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: which tends to be a thing I've been doing lately. 552 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: I didn't finish it on the plane, but I came 553 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: home and made sure I finished watching this movie because 554 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: it is that good still after all these years. So 555 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: at number one from two thousand and nine, the best 556 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino movie of all time is in Glorious Bastards. 557 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: If you think I ranked one of these movies wrong, 558 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: let me know what your ranking would be. Send me 559 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: an email movie Mike d at email dot com, or 560 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: hit me up on socials at my gidictro on everything. 561 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about sixty five. Let's get 562 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: into our movie review now. I want to talk about 563 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: sixty five with Adam Driver. We now have our first 564 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: bomb of the year. Whenever a movie comes out and 565 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: it just starts getting ripped to shreds by critics, it 566 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: has a low run and Tomato score. I try not 567 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: to pay too much attention to that because as a 568 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: movie fan, as a moviegoer, as a movie reviewer, I 569 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: like to be the judge myself because I don't always 570 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: buy into all that. And for you who listened to 571 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: this podcast, I want to let you know from my perspective, 572 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: I saw the reviews, I saw the score, but I 573 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: was giving this movie the benefit of the doubt because 574 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: of the premise. It's about an astronaut who crashed lands 575 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: on a mysterious planet, only to discover he is not 576 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: alone and it's actually the Earth sixty five million years ago. 577 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: That is what this movie is about. Adam Driver plays 578 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: the main character, the astronaut, the pilot of this ship, 579 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: and then he with the only other survivor of the 580 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: crash is this younger girl, and they try to find 581 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: their way back home. So that is the premise of 582 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: the movie. We'll get into what I think about it, 583 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: and if you want to hear a review or I 584 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: just go and rip a movie to shreds, be prepared 585 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: because that is what we're going to do here. But 586 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: here is just a little bit of the sixty five trailer. 587 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: I don't know where we are. I've located Bard, survivors, Charles, 588 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: the atmosphere or is breathable. There's something gaily on up there. 589 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: Even that trailer is boring. So a couple of things 590 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: that I look for when deciding whether a movie is 591 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: going to be good or not, I find them in 592 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: the trailer. First thing up in this trailer is the 593 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: title of the movie sixty five. That is a boring title. 594 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: That is not a sexy title. It's also kind of 595 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: a confusing title and a hard movie to search for. 596 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: Even looking up things about this movie, I would type 597 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: sixty five and I would just get like math problems, 598 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: so bad title. And then you look into how they 599 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: are selling the movie. They're really cashing in on that tagline, 600 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: that quick little premise. A nastronaut crash lands on a 601 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: mysterious planet, only to discover he's not alone and it's 602 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: Earth sixty five million years ago. You think, how could 603 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: a movie be bad with such a great premise. If 604 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: you are able to sell a movie in one line, 605 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: it is probably gonna suck because it just appeals to 606 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: the studio. It appeals to the way you promote a movie. 607 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: If you can sell a movie in one line, I 608 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: don't want to watch it. It's not going to be 609 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: very good because you're only selling me the sizzle. I 610 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: know that there's going to be no substance whatsoever in 611 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: that movie. Very few have proved me wrong. Very few 612 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: it proved me wrong. But if you are banking on 613 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: a tagline, that movie is going to suck. So when 614 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: it comes to six I didn't like the title. The 615 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: storyline in the beginning, it's a little confusing and it 616 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: just kind of jumps very quickly. So it's about Adam 617 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: Driver's character. He is living on this planet with his family. 618 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: His daughter is having to undergo this treatment. Treatment is 619 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: very expensive, so in order to pay for it, he 620 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: takes on this mission. But it's going to take him 621 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: away for two years, but he's going to make three 622 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: times his salary, so even though he can't be there 623 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: for his daughter, he is able to go on this 624 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: mission and pay for it. He comes back two years later, 625 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: so it's him having to make that hard decision. But 626 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: you don't really get too emotionally invest in the beginning 627 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: because that happens conversation with his daughter, and then he's gone. 628 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I guess he's going now. And then 629 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: he is flying through space, he gets hit by this asteroid, 630 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: hits his ship, he goes down, lands on this planet, 631 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: and then that's where our story kicks off. This movie 632 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: just had no imagination whatsoever, and there are a lot 633 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: of good elements here. You have dinosaurs, you have sci fi, 634 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: you have a ship, you have Adam Driver, who is 635 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: a great actor. He played a good villain in Star 636 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: Wars as Kylo Wren, so he can do that. I 637 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: don't question his abilities as an actor. But there was 638 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: nothing here to chew on, and you think, how can 639 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: you make a movie about dinosaurs? Boring? But what this 640 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: movie kind of was in the beginning, it's kind of 641 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: a toy story rip off. Even what you heard there 642 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: in the trailer is him crash landing on this planet 643 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: scoping it out. He's like, oh, it's breathable. That's exactly 644 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: what happens to Buzz Lightyear when he first lands in 645 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: Andy's room. That exact same scene sixty five ripped it 646 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: off this movie. It was also kind of a slow burn, 647 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: and you can't really slow burn a sci fi movie, 648 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: not with a movie like this get into the action 649 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: and where it really fumbled the ball here is it 650 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: didn't really own any of the genre it was living in. 651 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: Is it a sci fi movie? Is it a dinosaur movie? 652 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: Or is it just this crazy space movie? It wasn't 653 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: really anything. And not only that, it was plagued by 654 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: a lot of lazy things, lazy writing, cheap special effects. 655 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: There were things going off like smoke. It looked like 656 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: I was on a ride at Disney and they're like, 657 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: all right, fire the smoke, And that's exactly what happened 658 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: in the movie. Was this movie made in two thousand 659 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: and six. What was going on here? Even down to 660 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: the music in this movie, it was almost like they 661 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: just went to moviemusic dot Com, grabbed some tracks, slapped 662 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: on some MP three's on this movie, and there it is. 663 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: It really made me realize how much effort goes into 664 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: making a good dinosaur movie like Jurassic Park. You think 665 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: all you have to do is throw some dinosaurs on 666 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: the screen and it's entertaining. That's kind of what I 667 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: thought was the formula in the latest Jurassic Park reboot trilogy. 668 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: But when you see this, you'll realize it's not just 669 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: that you got to create something else. Because there are 670 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: t rex Is in this movie. There are lots of 671 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,479 Speaker 1: other dinosaurs in this movie, and you just don't really 672 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: care when they are on the screen. It made Jurassic 673 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: World Dominion look Oscar worthy. The best part about this 674 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: movie was his gun. It kind of reminded me of 675 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: that Turock video game if you ever played that. On 676 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: n sixty four, he was a dinosaur Hunter. If there 677 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: was one thing I could take away from this movie, 678 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, that's actually kind of a cool gun. 679 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: But it didn't really make me buy into the fact 680 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: that Adam Driver's character was good at his job. Why 681 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: did they pay this guy three times a salary? Everything 682 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: in this movie was him failing. He didn't do anything heroic, 683 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: he didn't do anything good. He is not good at 684 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: his job. Were they just trying to get rid of him, like, 685 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,839 Speaker 1: hey man, sending him out on a space mission. He'll 686 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: be gone two years, he won't make it back. It 687 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: was almost like they set him up in this movie 688 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: because he wasn't good at his job. He wasn't really 689 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: that great of a lead. It wasn't really that great 690 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: of a character. I cared nothing about his relationship with 691 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: the other survivor, the young girl in this movie, not 692 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: dogging on her whatsoever. She did what she could with 693 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: that script. But with a movie like this, you can't 694 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: be mediocre. And I tend to like movies that have 695 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: a very limited cast. Movies that are in space tend 696 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: to have that because they are so expensive to make. 697 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 1: It's paying for the ships, all the special effects, everything 698 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: else going on. They usually have a very limited cast. Also, 699 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: space is just very isolating. That's how those movies kind 700 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: of work. But in this case, it didn't do it 701 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: for me. Especially when you have a TV show out 702 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: right now, like The Last of Us where it's all 703 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: about older guy, younger character him trying to protect her. 704 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: You have that show doing it so well, so to 705 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: do a movie similar like this and it be so 706 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: bad and so uninspiring, you can't do that. There were 707 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: a lot of moments that I was just like, what 708 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: am I watching? Very much? Some lol moments that were 709 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: not supposed to be LOL moments. I won't ruin anything 710 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: in case for some reason you decide you want to 711 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: go watch this movie. But there is a part whereas 712 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: character falls into quicksand quicksand in a movie in twenty 713 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: twenty three, I just wasn't buying into this. With this 714 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: subject matter, you deserve to be submerged into that world. 715 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: This movie felt like I was just watching an actor 716 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: on a movie set. I was so aware of everything happening. 717 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: So it was like Adam Driver's character in Girls became 718 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: a movie star and this is the movie he went 719 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: on to do. So it was almost like, really, with 720 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: any TV show when somebody becomes an actor and like, 721 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to be in a movie, and they play 722 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 1: the trailer and it's very like cheesy and elaborate, very 723 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: like what you make out a big Hollywood movie to be. 724 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: That is what this was like. It was like a 725 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,959 Speaker 1: parody movie that went into something else. It was that bad. 726 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: So this movie should have really owned a genre. I 727 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: think space It could have been really cool in if 728 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: they just made a straight up horror movie with dinosaurs, 729 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: that is something that hasn't been done. Nobody has the 730 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: budget for that. I don't know what Sony was doing. 731 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: They're taking a big hit on this one. Movie has 732 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: not done well at the box office. Has only made 733 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: twenty two point four million dollars today in the United States, 734 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: about another nine million dollars internationally. But it has but 735 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: it had a budget of forty five million dollars, so 736 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't really see it making that backup. Maybe when 737 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: they start playing it on airplanes or cable it'll make 738 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 1: a little bit back. But man, a movie I wanted 739 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: to like. When I first saw the trailer, I was like, Oh, 740 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: that looks interesting. I like dinosaurs. I like Adam Driver. 741 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't like any of the things together. So four 742 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: sixty five. I give it one out of five dinosaur prints. 743 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: It's our first bomb of the year. It's time to 744 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: head down to movie. You're like, I just went on 745 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: this rant a couple of episodes ago with Peter Pan. 746 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,479 Speaker 1: But we are back because we have our first real 747 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: look at The Little Mermaid. They put out the poster, 748 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: they put out a teaser, but we really didn't get 749 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: a look at what all the animals are going to 750 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: look like under the sea, and now we have it, 751 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: and now what I was expecting at all. I want 752 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: to get into what I fully think about The Little 753 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,919 Speaker 1: Mermaid and what Disney is doing with all of their 754 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: live action remakes of all their most famous movies. But 755 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: before we get into that, here is just a little 756 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 1: bit of the new The Little Mermaid trailer. You broke 757 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: at the Rooms. He went to the abuff world. A 758 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: man was drowning. I had to save him. This obsession 759 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: with humans has to stop. I just want to know 760 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: more about them. God child, I can help you. You 761 00:40:54,760 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: can't live in that world unless you've become a human yourself. Impossible. 762 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: That's what a lit fun So this movie entirely doesn't 763 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: look what I was expecting. I wondered how they were 764 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: going to make all the undersea creatures look because we've 765 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: seen live action reimaginations of Disney movies like The Lion King, 766 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: and the reason that one felt a little bit off 767 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: to me is because it took away the charm that 768 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 1: was the animated version of The Lion King. It took 769 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: the exact same story and created these quote unquote live 770 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: action animals which were really just computer animated, realistic looking animals. 771 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 1: And I thought they would maybe do something different with 772 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: The Little Mermaid, because it's one thing to animate a lion, 773 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: to animate a wart hog and give them a different voice, 774 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: that makes a little bit more sense to me. That 775 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: looks a little bit more appealing to me. But when 776 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: it comes to watching fish under the Sea, not as appealing. 777 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: It's not as cute. There's something cute about Sebastian as 778 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: a cartoon, Flounder as a cartoon, but when it comes 779 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: to them in a live action form, honestly looks a 780 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: little bit creepy. Our kids even going to be into 781 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: the idea of this movie. Now, you do have a 782 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: great lead here. You have Haley Bailey, which I wonder 783 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: how many times people get her name wrong and call 784 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: her halle Berry just because it looks similar to it. 785 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: But it is Haley Bailey as Ariel. She looks like 786 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: a great Ariel. There's nothing that strikes me weird about 787 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 1: the human element to this movie. Javier Bardam as King Triton, 788 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 1: Melissa McCarthy as Ursula looks perfect. I think it's just 789 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: I was expecting this world to look a little bit different, 790 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: to look a little bit more fun and imaginative and 791 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: not so right on the nose. They debuted this trailer 792 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: at the Oscars, which I like that. I feel like 793 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: we get so many debuts of trailers in the Super Bowl, 794 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: why not in the Super Bowl of movies. Interesting thing 795 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: about this, though, is they showed the trailer during the Oscars, 796 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: and it actually cost them ten million dollars to do that. 797 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: Disney paid ten million dollars to show this two and 798 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: a half minute trailer during the Oscars. But Disney also 799 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,879 Speaker 1: owns ABC, which is where the Oscars were broadcast on, 800 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: so it's almost like they paid themselves ten million dollars 801 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: to showcase their own movie. This movie appears to follow 802 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: the exact same story as the original animated movie, which 803 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: came out in nineteen eighty nine. You have Ariel being 804 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: fascinated with the world above the sea. You have Prince Eric, 805 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: but she is a mermaid and forbidden to interact with humans. 806 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: But in order to follow her heart, she makes a 807 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: deal with the evil sea witch Ursula, who gives her 808 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: the chance to experience life above the sea. And from 809 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: what I've seen in this trailer, I think this is 810 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 1: going to be the first real big bomb of Disney's 811 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: live action remakes. And that's because I don't think this 812 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 1: story translates. I almost think they're going to have the 813 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 1: same success that they had with other stories like this, 814 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: like Beauty and the Beasts, Dumbo, Aladdin and the Lion King. 815 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: I think Disney is almost in a space of they 816 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: are too big to fail when it comes to their 817 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,919 Speaker 1: historic movies. But as we saw with Pinocchio, which didn't 818 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: come out in theaters, it was a Disney plus exclusive. 819 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: They can do wrong, and a lot of the times 820 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: they make up for it with a lot of marketing, 821 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,280 Speaker 1: as we saw with what they did at the Oscars 822 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: showing the trailer there. Not only do they have the 823 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: money to promote the movie, but they also have the 824 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: legacy of Disney. Ah, we made a new Little Mermaid movie. 825 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,400 Speaker 1: We are Disney here it is. I just think that 826 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 1: when it comes to this one, it's going to catch 827 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: them off guard when it doesn't do that well opening weekend. 828 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: We're seeing now for the first time that Disney movies 829 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: in theaters aren't a hit. And maybe it's because they're 830 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: a victim of their own plan here. With Disney Plus, 831 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 1: you have given people the ability to watch your movies 832 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: at home, and they're already paying for that there, and 833 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: it is largely beneficial to families to save money. You 834 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: don't have to go to the theater to watch a 835 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: kids movie and take all your kids. You can just 836 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: put it on at home. We saw that with Strange 837 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: World that did not do well at the box office, 838 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: even though it is a pretty good movie. I can 839 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: only imagine if they had actually put Pinocchio out in 840 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: theaters how much money they would have lost on that movie. 841 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: And maybe they're kind of playing their cards with the 842 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: movies they choose to put out in theaters and the 843 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: ones they choose to put out on Disney Plus. Maybe 844 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: they're not taking that risk. With Peter Pan and Wendy, 845 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: and they believe a little bit more in The Little Mermaids. 846 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's unfortunate that this movie won't do 847 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: so well, mainly because the people involved. I like all 848 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 1: the actors. I love the lead Hallie Bailey, I love 849 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: Javier Bardem, Melissa McCarthy, de Vie Diggs as Sebastian, has 850 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: a great cast. I just think it has no artistic vision, 851 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 1: and that is what Disney in the past has done best. 852 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: Brought stories to life, things that are magical, not just 853 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: cash decisions to bring back movies from back in the day. 854 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: If I was a kid watching a movie like this 855 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,479 Speaker 1: for the first time, I don't feel like I would 856 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: be experiencing that same magic. Disney has always been on 857 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: the cutting edge of technology and animation, and they're not 858 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: doing anything inventive here. Nothing that I see in this 859 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: trailer looks like it's pushing any kind of boundary that 860 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: Disney has been known for. They're kind of given up 861 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: on that a little bit. So it's not only that 862 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: they are making a remake of one of their most 863 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: famous movies, if that they're not even putting that much 864 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,840 Speaker 1: effort into it. I want to see the same level 865 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,439 Speaker 1: on the Little Mermaid that I see in Avatar throws 866 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 1: some motion capturing technology on your actors, make the cute 867 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: cuddly fish a little bit more cute and cuddly. That 868 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: is what they are known for. That is what they 869 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 1: are famous for. And I think the only way this 870 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: movie will make up for that is with the performances 871 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: and with the songs, which you can't deny the power 872 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: of a Disney song. So I'm not always drawn to 873 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: the music little aspect of Disney movies as a kid. 874 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes I lays skip over the songs, I'll be honest, 875 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: Except for The Lion King, I can do without some 876 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: Disney songs. So, as I've said before, I will go 877 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: see this movie, but I will not be happy about it. 878 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: And I want to see how this changes, how this 879 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: alters their plans for all the movies they have coming out, 880 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: because more live action is on the way. We have 881 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: Peter Pannon Wendy coming to Disney Plus, and then we 882 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: have Mufassa The Lion King coming out in twenty twenty four, 883 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,320 Speaker 1: and also in twenty twenty four we have Snow White, 884 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: so they aren't slowing down on their live action remakes. 885 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: I just want them to put the magic back in 886 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: their movies. Make a Disney movie more exciting again, because 887 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: I think my future kids deserve better. This week's edition 888 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 1: of Movie Bar I don't know why Disney live action 889 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: movies get me so fired up, but that is my 890 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: rant for this week. Thank you for listening. Before I go, 891 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: I gotta give my listeners shout out of the week. 892 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: Do it every single week to somebody who sends me 893 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: email movie Mike dat Gmail dot com, hits me up 894 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:07,839 Speaker 1: on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, or Facebook.

And this week's listener of 897 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: the week is Caroline Manerik, who commented on my Scream 898 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: six review and said, you are so entertaining.

You are this week's 901 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,479 Speaker 1: Movie Crew listener of the Week. And I don't share 902 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: comments like this to boost my own ego, like, oh, 903 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,359 Speaker 1: look how cool everybody thinks like him, Look how much 904 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,879 Speaker 1: everybody loves the podcast. But the reason I share these 905 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 1: comments is honestly, I'm surprised. I love doing this podcast. 906 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 1: I love everybody who listens. I love you right now, 907 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: straight up, just I love you because this is my 908 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: favorite thing to do, and I just am surprised when 909 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: other people care. I feel like when it comes to 910 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: anything creative, you put things out and it feels like 911 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: it goes to nobody. And I've been going through this 912 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: period of my life right now that I've to enter this. 913 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,879 Speaker 1: I don't really care what people think about me. Mentality 914 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: not meaning that I don't care and I'm gonna put 915 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: out crap, but meaning that I want to be my 916 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: truest self and I want to portray how I really am, 917 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: the most authentic version of myself, without worrying about the 918 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: critique of others. And sometimes I think, like I talk 919 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: about movies too much, people are going to find me annoying. 920 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: I do this podcast and I post these clips, and 921 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: it feels like I am ruining everybody's feed, everybody's timeline. 922 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: So whenever I see somebody like Caroline share a comment 923 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: like that, it makes me not want to quit. It 924 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: makes me feel like I'm actually doing something that even 925 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: if it's just Caroline, even if it's just you listening 926 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: right now. That gives a crap. That's enough for me. 927 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: This is all I've ever wanted to do. If I 928 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 1: had a perfect situation, a perfect way I could earn 929 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: money in life, it would be just to watch movies 930 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: and talk about them and express my thoughts and share 931 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 1: them with you and do this podcast. So the fact 932 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: that you take any amount of your week and spend 933 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: it here on this pod cast or go over on 934 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: my social media and comments and messages, I love you 935 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: for that. I love going back and forth into my dms, 936 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 1: and I just love that element out of anything when 937 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: it comes to doing this podcast. So thank you, Caroline, 938 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,839 Speaker 1: thank you for listening. Hope you come back next week. 939 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: We'll be talking about the new Shazam movie. We also 940 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,439 Speaker 1: have John Wick coming up after that. It's a great 941 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: time to be a movie fan, so I'm glad you're here. 942 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: Until then, go out and watch good movies and I 943 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 1: will talk to you later.
