Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew, 14 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: and now let's talk movies. 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast, A man with so 18 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: much movie knowledge. 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: He's basically like a. 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: Walking IMTB with glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: This is movie Mike, So that is the headline. We 22 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: met Tom Hanks and it was awesome. And we have 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: not told this story in full how it all went down, 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: but I rarely get starstruck, and leaving that place, I 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: felt like I was floating. 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: You were so giddy. 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: I've never been that excited about meeting somebody before. 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: We're incredibly giddy. 29 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: And I think it's because I feel like movie stars 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: are a little bit unattainable. We live in Nashville and 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: we experience all of kind of the music world. We 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: see a lot of artists inside of country music, but 33 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: also in the pop world. It's not unusual to meet 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: somebody in music, but when it comes to movie stars 35 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and people you onways see on the big screen, it 36 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: feels like a whole different world. 37 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 4: Unless it's Reese for there student because she lives in 38 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: Nashville part time. 39 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so if they're not a Nashville local kid true, 40 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: which I'll have something on her later, But yes, it 41 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: just feels to me like movie stars are people you're 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: never going to meet and will never have the chance 43 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: to meet unless you were starring in a movie with them. 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: So I think that's why I was so excited to 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: meet Tom Hanks. So how this all came together? If 46 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: you only know me from this podcast, it's not my 47 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: primary job. I am the head writer on the Bobby 48 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: Bone Show, and I am also the executive producer on 49 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: The Bobby Cast, And on that podcast we had Rita Wilson. 50 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 4: Who is an actress, producer, singer, and also happens to 51 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: be married Tom Hanks. 52 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, she was in one of my favorite movies, Jingle 53 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: All the Way. 54 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: That's a great movie. 55 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: So it was also cool getting to do that podcast 56 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: with her and meeting her, and through that I formed 57 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: a relationship with her PR person and she was doing 58 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: a show here in town at the Bluebird, which if 59 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: you haven't been to Nashville, I would say that is 60 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: one of the top places you have to go. Surprisingly, 61 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I've lived here for seven years, you've lived here for 62 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: three years now. We've never been, so that was our 63 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: first time going. 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: That was the best date night we've had. 65 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: So if you ever come and plan a trip to Nashville, 66 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: I would say plant it around a visit to the 67 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: Bluebird if you can, which is harder to get into 68 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: because it is such a small venue. I think it 69 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: holds less than one hundred people, so it's a small, 70 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: very intimate show. It's a different vibe than a normal 71 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: concert because it's songwriters sitting in a circle telling stories 72 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: and playing songs that they wrote at this event. In particular, 73 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: it was a Rita Wilson show where she brought in 74 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: some of her favorite writers that she's worked with and 75 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: they all went around telling stories and it was awesome. 76 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 4: So it was like the most eclectic mix of songs 77 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 4: that I wasn't expecting, oh yeah from that evening, Like 78 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: they were the writers that she had, like wrote some 79 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 4: of the biggest hits, and I was like, I wasn't 80 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: expecting to hear waffle House tonight, but shout out Daniel Tashin. 81 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: It's one of the most Nashville experiences you can really 82 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: get beyond the rhyman, beyond the opry. I think it's 83 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: one of the coolest experiences that I've had, So I'd 84 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: say put that top of your list. But we go 85 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: to this show and we walk in and in the 86 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: back of my mind when we first were talking about 87 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: going to the show, I thought there was a slight 88 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: chance that Tom Hank could be there. 89 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: Tom also does love Nashville. I would like to say 90 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: he did a book event here last month. Yeah, when 91 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: he released his book. Yes, you were supposed to go 92 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: with me out of time for work. It was unfortunate, 93 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: But I went and held the fort down and got 94 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 4: to listen to Tom Hanks talk about his book. And 95 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: he's close friends with Anne Patchett, who is an author 96 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 4: and owns Parnassas Books here, and so they did the 97 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: book event. So I feel like he likes Nashville. And 98 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 4: obviously Rita comes to do songwriting, so I feel like 99 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 4: Tom has a soft spot for Nashville. 100 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: I feel like he just loves music after seeing how 101 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: he acted at this show. But we went to the show, and, 102 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: like I said, just in the back of my mind, 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: I thought, what are the chances that he is here too? 104 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: The only reason I thought he wouldn't be there is 105 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: because he wouldn't want to take the spotlight away from Rita. 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: If Tom Hanks shows up, suddenly he becomes that, oh 107 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks is here, and all the focus would be 108 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: shifted towards him. But that wasn't the case here. We 109 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: walked in, we sat down in our seats, didn't even 110 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: notice him at first. 111 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 4: No, the lady sitting at the table with us was 112 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 4: like chatting, and then she was like Tom Hanks is 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: over in the corner, and we just like turn around 114 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 4: and there's Tom just like chatting away with who we 115 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: later realized was. 116 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Faithful, So another mega celebrity, and he was just there 117 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: in the corner of the entire time, just chilling and 118 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: hanging out, having fun, singing along. 119 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 4: Tom was the most supportive husband. There was a point 120 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: when Rita asked everyone to get their cell phones out 121 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: and turn their flashlight on and wave them and Tom 122 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: couldn't have gone his flashlight out faster, hands are in 123 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: the air. There was another part where she does not 124 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: like a call in response, but like she wants people 125 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 4: to like echo the words that she sings. I don't 126 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 4: want to give it away. But Tom is in the 127 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 4: corner like shouting the lyrics. He knows all of her songs. 128 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 4: He's clapping along, and I was like, this man is 129 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 4: so supportive of her, and it was the cutest thing ever, 130 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: like to see him as like Tom Reda's husband, not 131 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: Tom Hanks the superstar. 132 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: And I think for me, like I love the show. 133 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: I was fully engaged with the show, but throughout it 134 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: I would go and check on Tom just to see 135 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: how he was taking care of it. In him yeah, singing, 136 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: And the thing is to be that big of an actor, 137 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: you have to be very charismatic and very animated, and 138 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: it was interesting to look over to him and see 139 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: him be that. Yeah, to see him have like reactions 140 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: on his faces, clapping his hands, like just having that 141 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: moment to interact with the show and have it affect him. 142 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: You can see why he is so good at what 143 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: he does. So just seeing his interaction was also fun 144 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: for me. So the entire time I was thinking, how 145 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: are we going to meet Tom Hanks? I just couldn't 146 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: imagine leaving that place and not even just saying hi. 147 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: And even when you would go walk to the bathroom, 148 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: you would walk by where he was and it was 149 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: just kind of cool to see him. I was like, 150 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: there just has to be a moment. But again, nobody 151 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: was bothering him during the show. People later figured out 152 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: that he was there, but there was never like a 153 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: mad dash to go say hi to him. Nobody mess 154 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: with him. 155 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: The focus was very respectful on Rita and the other songwriters, 156 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: and also the way the Bluebirds set up, like you 157 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 4: can't really not focus on the songwriters, and that's what 158 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: you're there for. You've bought the ticket for that, You've 159 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 4: paid to come to this. So I would say everyone 160 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: was very like respectful.

You get one shot either not come out 244 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: at all, or like what it wasn't that first one 245 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: of having my eyes closed. And the weird thing is, 246 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: I've also had dreams of meeting famous people and then 247 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: I go to look back and like, is the picture 248 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: actually there? And it's always disappeared. So I've had this 249 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: nightmare of it not actually happening. But before we got 250 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: up to him, I started thinking about what I was 251 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: going to say to him, and I told you that 252 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask him or just mention about Asteroid City, 253 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: which is coming out this weekend now. And once we 254 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: got up there, all of those ideas just kind of 255 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: went out the window. 256 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 4: For me. 257 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: I dominated the conversation. 258 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: You did. 259 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: I told him that I was at his book event 260 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: because I wanted Tom Hanks that in this house we 261 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: value all of his work. 262 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's also the mentality I had, is 263 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to him about something he had 264 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: coming out versus Oh, man, you were really good, as 265 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: would he. 266 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: I feel like he was very excited that he was. 267 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: He lit up, Oh that was a great event. 268 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Yes, it was, sir, And really all I said to 269 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: him is right when we walked up, I said, it's 270 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: an honor to meet you.

He was also standing 275 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: on like a riser, so that's why he shok his hand. 276 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: He put his hand on both of our shoulders. A 277 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: week later, I don't think you've washed that hand. 278 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: I've not watched the hand. That was something I wasn't 279 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: expecting him to shake my hand and had such a 280 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: great handshake like that is something I will not forget. 281 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 4: And like the picture, he is just like so like 282 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 4: fatherly in the photo, like over both of us with. 283 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: A hand on our shoulders, and people were saying he 284 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: looked photoshop. He was not photoshop. That was really he 285 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: was real. So, like I said earlier, I left that 286 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: experience floating. I didn't just something I didn't think would 287 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: ever have, and meeting somebody that famous, who I've seen 288 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: in so many movies, and then having every expectation of 289 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: what I thought he would be, like completely met He 290 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: is as nice as you would think he would be, 291 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: He's as charismatic as you think he would be, and 292 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: the entire situation played out perfectly that I just felt 293 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 1: like it was a dream. 294 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 4: It did give us like a lot of like cool 295 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 4: points with my younger brothers because I was like, Tom 296 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: Hanks is in this room and they really get a picture? 297 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 4: Yeah obviously, And then they were like, well you really 298 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 4: met him?

We got ten out of ten. 305 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: So that is by far the most famous movie star 306 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: I've ever met. I put together a list of my 307 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: top three so easily. Tom Hanks's number one I don't 308 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: think anybody could compete with that. I think when it 309 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: comes to the biggest movie stars of all time, or 310 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: at least the one's still dominating now, it's the two Toms, 311 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. And if I had to 312 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: meet one of them, definitely Tom Hanks. 313 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah don't. I don't really have any desire to meet 314 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: Tom Cruise. 315 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: But second up on my list that I've actually met 316 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: is Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino. So I actually met 317 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: him before he really got into acting in movies. He 318 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: was still Troy Barnes in Community, but now he's also 319 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: played Lando in the Solo movie. He was the voice 320 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: of Simba in The Lion King, at least the live 321 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: action one. He was also in Spider Man, the first 322 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: one with Tom Holland, and I think that was cooler 323 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: for me, just because I was a bigger fan of 324 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: his music and his comedy at the time and afterwards 325 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: is now when he has gotten more into the mainstream 326 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: into acting. 327 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 4: And if you're like me, it took you a year 328 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 4: into dating. 329 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: To figure out that. 330 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: He and Childish gambin over one person. 331 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: But the first time I met the first time I 332 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: met him, he came in and did an interview on 333 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: the Bobby Bone Show when We're still in Austin, and 334 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: I had written a letter to Donald Glover proclaiming how 335 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: much I loved him, loved his movie, loved community, loved 336 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: everything he has ever done, and then Bobby read it 337 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: to him on the air, and then I got to 338 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: meet him afterwards, which in the moment he was probably 339 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: a little creeped. 340 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 4: Out, but does feel a little embarrassing. I don't know 341 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: that I knew it was read to him on air. 342 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was read to him, But then afterwards 343 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: he signed it for me. I did not what was signed, 344 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: and he wrote thank you, Donald Glover, and then we 345 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: took a picture afterwards. And also I ended up getting 346 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: tickets and VIP passes to his show that night at 347 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Stubbs in Austin, and it was one of the best 348 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: concerts I've ever been to. At number three on my 349 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: list would be Dennis Quaid. It was at the time 350 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: he was part of a podcast called make It Up 351 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: as We Go, which is like a scripted podcast, but 352 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: it's based on country music, and Bobby had a part 353 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: in it. So he came into the radio station to 354 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: basically direct Bobby on his lines. And Dennis Quaid. I mean, 355 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: I know him from the Day After Tomorrow, one of 356 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: our favorite disaster movies, The Rookie. He's been in so 357 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: many movies. 358 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: You're forgetting the parent Trap, thank you. 359 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in so many movies in the two thousands, 360 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: and meeting him, I realized, like sometimes people just look famous. 361 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: He not only just looks famous, but he has like 362 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: that famous person energy. He walked in, he was like 363 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: wearing a leather jacket in the middle of summer, and 364 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: he immediately went into like director mode, was firing off 365 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: different ways for Bobby to say lines. So he very 366 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: much had that movie star presence to him. But he 367 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: is one of the most famous persons I've met that 368 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't have a picture with. But I do have 369 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: like audio of me like talking to him down the 370 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: line when we were recording, but he didn't know he 371 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: was being recorded, So I don't want to play any 372 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: of that, but I do have it. But I never 373 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: got a picture with him because right after he was done, 374 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: like I said, he had that movie star energy in 375 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: and out, I'm out of here, poof of dust, and 376 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: he was gone.

And I was at Jiffy Lube, 495 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 4: and I was like, this is what I get for 496 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: being responsible. So it was a missed opportunity. 497 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. One missed opportunity for me is mister T was 498 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: at the mall and I kept telling myself, I'll go 499 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: a little later, I'll go a little later. And once 500 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: I got there, the guy at the mall said he 501 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: just left, and when I asked if he'd ever come back, 502 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: he said, I didn't know. It's actually a quote from 503 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: The Simpsons, and there we go. We'll be back after this. 504 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: I try to get into my spoiler free movie review 505 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: of The Flash, a movie I had ha hopes for 506 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: because the trailer made it look awesome and made the 507 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: action look like it was gonna be just shot after 508 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: shot of really cool things. You have Michael Keaton back 509 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: as Batman, the og Batman my favorite out of any 510 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: single actor who has put on the latex suit and 511 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: pointy ears. You also have Ben Affleck, who I feel 512 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: like didn't really get his fair shot at playing Batman, 513 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: so I thought maybe this would be a little bit 514 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: of redemption for him. And there was also a lot 515 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: of speculation of all the people who are going to 516 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: be in this movie. I won't ruin that for anybody. 517 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: But I was going in expecting a lot of humor, 518 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: heart and surprises, and it was being described as Back 519 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: to the Future meets Spider Man No Way Home. So 520 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: what the story is here with the Flash. This is 521 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: his first movie. We've seen him in the Justice League, 522 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: but this is our first time really getting to know 523 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: Barry Allen as the Flash. So what the Flash is 524 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: experiencing is he is really just the bottom of the 525 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: barrel superhero when it comes to the Justice League. He 526 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: is the one who is sent out to clean everybody's messes. 527 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: So if Batman can't be there to save somebody, they 528 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: send the Flash. If Superman needs somebody to clean up 529 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: his mess, they send the Flash. If Wonder Woman gets 530 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: a little too tired and can't make it there in time, 531 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: they send the Flash. He is really like the custodian 532 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: of the Justice League, and he kind of knows this 533 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: and accepts this as his role, being the youngest and 534 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: most inexperienced of anybody in the Justice League. But aside 535 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: from what he experiences as the Flash, in his personal life, 536 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: his dad is on trial who is being accused of 537 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: killing his mom, and Barry Allen is trying to clear 538 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: his dad's name, so he has all these conflicting things 539 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: going on in his brain, and he is reflecting on 540 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: his childhood when he still had his mom around and 541 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: now that his dad has been in prison for so long, 542 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: and he kind of has this fit of rage moment, 543 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: this overly emotional I'm just gonna run until I can't 544 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: run anymore, which I've had that as a runner. Sometimes 545 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: it just feels good to run as fast as you 546 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: can to get all that energy out. Sometimes I get 547 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: really emotional when I run. I can actually remember a 548 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: couple times where I cried running because I had all 549 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: these emotions flowing through me. I didn't know how to 550 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: deal with it, so I just went on a really 551 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: long run. So I identified with that scene in the Flash. 552 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: But what the difference is with him. He runs so 553 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: fast that he realizes he can go back in time, 554 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: and that is exactly what the premise of this movie is. 555 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: He realizes through that that he went back the day 556 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: before and now has the idea, if I've run really 557 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: really really really really fast, maybe I can go back 558 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: and change the past. So that is what this movie 559 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: is about. The big question. This movie asks if you 560 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: could go back and change the past, would you what 561 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: would you change? I myself personally, I don't think I 562 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: would go back and change anything. I really think that 563 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: things happen for a reason. There's nothing in my life 564 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: that I really regret happening, and I think going back 565 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: and changing one thing, as we learn in this movie 566 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: or really any other movie that deals with time track, 567 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: is that it's gonna have some repercussions. That's gonna have 568 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: some effects on your life that you're probably not gonna 569 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: be happy with. So I wouldn't go back and change 570 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: anything in my life. But when it comes to Barry Allen, 571 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: he wants to go back and save his mom and 572 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: make it to where he doesn't have to get to 573 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: the point where he has to clear his dad's name, 574 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: who has been accused of killing his mom. The other 575 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: big question this movie brings is do you have to 576 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: let tragedy define you? It really explores along with the 577 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: Flashes character, also a little bit with his interaction with 578 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: Bruce Wayne. They've both had really tragic things that have 579 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: shaped them and really given them the tools to become superheroes. 580 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: So if you take that away, do you take away 581 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: what makes a superhero a superhero. So just on the 582 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: premise alone, I thought it was going to be a 583 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: little bit more of an emotional movie. I thought there 584 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: was going to be really something on the line in 585 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: this movie. And the opening scene was very unusual, but 586 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: I was into it. It was Barry Allen trying to 587 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: save all of these falling bits from a hospital wing, 588 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: and not only did it look unusual with the visual effects, 589 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: but it was just kind of a weird concept. I 590 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: even looked to Kelsey at one point and thought, are 591 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: they really doing this? So I enjoyed their commitment to 592 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: do something different because I will say that opening sequence 593 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: had a very unique feel to it. It felt like 594 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: something I hadn't seen before. So at this point I 595 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: was still all in. I thought that every single suit 596 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: in this movie was the best it ever looked. Whether 597 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: it was the Flash, whether it was Ben Afflex Batman, 598 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: he looked awesome and bulky, and I thought if they 599 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: would have had that look the entire time, it would 600 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: have been so much better. I feel like everything in 601 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: this movie had a lot more detail of the comic books, 602 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: and that is what I enjoyed. And with DC, who 603 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: have really the best characters of the most popular characters, 604 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: if they just played into that a little bit more, 605 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: it would be so great. So you also have Michael 606 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: Keaton back as Batman, who I think is the best 607 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: Batman ever, and he was looking the best he had 608 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: ever look in the suit. And now that technology has 609 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: caught up with Batman, I feel like if you made 610 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: those movies today, there would be way more advanced and 611 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: look way more awesome. Also, Supergirl's suit also looked awesome. 612 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: But aside from the costumes, in the original premise of 613 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: this movie, there is really nothing else I enjoyed. This 614 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: movie is called The Flash, but the entire two plus 615 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: hours moved along at a snail's pace, and by the 616 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: end of this movie, I thought to myself, what was 617 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: the point of this movie. I did not feel at 618 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: any point from beginning to end that The Flash really 619 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: did anything heroic. The entire story in this movie probably 620 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: could have played out in just the length of a 621 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: TV episode. There wasn't enough here. I feel like in 622 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 1: any superhero movie, especially it kind of serves as his 623 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: origin story. It's his first movie. It doesn't really feel 624 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: like a full on origin story, and maybe that's where 625 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: it threw me off a little bit, but I don't 626 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: really feel like Barry Allen grew as a per or 627 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: even had any real heroic moments. And by the end 628 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: of this movie, I thought to myself, what did we 629 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: learn here, what did his character actually go through? And 630 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: was that worth a journey? I have to say no. 631 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: And there are moments in this movie that it moved 632 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: so slow that I was bored. And in a movie 633 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: when you bring back the original og Batman and he 634 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: comes on screen and I don't feel excitement, you're doing 635 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: something wrong. And this was one of the only times 636 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: in a superhero movie that all the best parts were 637 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: in the trailer. Everything that had me hype going into 638 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: this movie I had already seen. And I think it's 639 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: because DC doesn't really have the power to just put 640 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: people in a movie and not tell everybody about it. 641 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: So how I was describing this movie to people, it's 642 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: like back to the future. It meets No Way Home 643 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: and No Way Home. We did not know those cameos 644 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: that were coming in the third act of the movie, 645 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: and it served as such a big surprise, such a 646 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: big pop in the theater. Here we already knew Michael 647 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: Keaton and Ben Affleck were going to be a part 648 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: of it, so when he comes on screen, we're already 649 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: expecting it, we already know. It doesn't really give you 650 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: that big, fun, heroic moment that I think they could 651 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: have had if they didn't show all their cards on 652 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: the table. And it's because of the history of DC 653 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: of busting at the box office. They needed to have 654 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: that star power, They needed to gain that interest, because 655 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: I really don't think there was that much of an 656 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: interest in just a solo flash movie. So if I'm 657 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: not really fully into his character, everything else you throw 658 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: in there isn't really going to have any effect on me. 659 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: Supergirl was fine in this movie, but again, all the 660 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: best parts of her were in the trailer. Even Michael 661 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: Shannon returning as the villain. It didn't even need him. 662 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't even a threat. And then you get to 663 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: the visual effects in this movie, where when I first 664 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: watched this trailer, I thought it looked like all the 665 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: action was going to demand the big screen. You had 666 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: Batman flying around, you had explosions, you had a chase 667 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: scene in the sky with Supergirl flying right next to Batman. 668 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: It looked like it was gonna be a very fun 669 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: time for my eyes. After watching this entire movie, there 670 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: were so many things wrong with the visual effects, and 671 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: there are moments in this where now the director is 672 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: saying that it was done on purpose, that we are 673 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: seeing things through the eyes of the flash, and whenever 674 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: he is traveling through time, the VFX is supposed to 675 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: look very cartoonish. It looks so bad. It looks like 676 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: a video game from the late nineties early two thousands. 677 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: But supposedly that was done on purpose, and I kind 678 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: of felt that it kind of made sense that this 679 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: was not the reality of it. It was supposed to 680 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: be a little blurry and weird looking, but it felt 681 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: a little bit jarring, and I think if you don't 682 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: know that going into it, you just think it looks 683 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: like just a bunch of bad visual effects, and maybe 684 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: it was. Maybe that's just an excuse they made after 685 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: the movie came out and people started complaining about it. 686 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: But that's not the only time the visual effects look bad, 687 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: because in this movie, you have two Barry Allen's when 688 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: he goes back in time and finds his younger self, 689 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: so you have a lot of visual effects going on 690 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: because you have two Ezra Miller's on screen at the 691 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: same time, and I was always aware of which one 692 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: was the actual Ezra Miller and which one was the 693 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: one put in there with special effects. And at this point, 694 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: for a movie coming out in twenty twenty three, you 695 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: should be able to put the same actor up there 696 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: twice playing two different characters with no problem. They were 697 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: doing split screen way back in the early filmmaking days. 698 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: This should not be an issue in a movie of 699 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: this scale in twenty twenty three. What were they thinking. 700 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: The face looked completely off, and I knew that was 701 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: the VFX version, so that was frustrating. A lot of 702 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: the fight sequences the CGI looked bad as well. It 703 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: looked very droopy, and I was very aware that I 704 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: was just watching a bunch of actors on a green screen. 705 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: And I'll compare it to the last DC film in 706 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: Black Adam. That wasn't a perfect movie. I left of 707 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: the same way I left this one, going in excited, 708 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: left disappointed. But the visuals in Black Adam were so 709 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: much better. The action looked a lot better in that movie. 710 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a post production thing 711 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: or they ran out of money on visual effects and 712 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was 713 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: a big deal to me. But I really think the 714 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: main problem this movie had is that DC really wanted 715 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: to step into the multiverse space. Marvel's crushing at it. 716 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: Movies like everything everywhere all at once, are really changing 717 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: the game with the multiverse, So what's the hot thing 718 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: right now? And DC had the idea, all right, let's 719 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: do the flash. But it's only good if you know 720 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: how to execute it. Just because you throw in cameos 721 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: and characters that people love doesn't mean it's going to 722 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: have the same effect. So I really think they shouldn't 723 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: have even messed around with the multiverse stuff in this movie. 724 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: I think they really should have owned the idea of 725 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: time travel, going back in time, going into the future, 726 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: stay out of the multiverse lane. Marvel is dominating that 727 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: right now, and eventually that will die out and nobody 728 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: will really care about multiverse anymore. So get in on 729 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: something new right now. Own the idea of time travel. 730 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: But they didn't even do that. But really, what it 731 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: came down to is this movie didn't make me feel anything. 732 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: They showed me a lot of things. They showed me 733 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: the sad situation with him and his mom, and him 734 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: and his dad being in prison. But they didn't make 735 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: me feel it, And that is the difference between a 736 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: good and a bad movie. If it can convey that 737 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: emotion and make you feel it through his actions and 738 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: through character development, that is the sign of a good movie. 739 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: That is the journey I want to go on. I 740 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: did not go on that journey with The Flash, So 741 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: I think they missed out on what the tone was 742 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: of this movie. Who exactly was this movie for. Were 743 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: they just trying to compete with Marvel and make their 744 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: own version of No Way Home? With the introduction of 745 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: a character that is still relatively new to us, they 746 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: should really be building on that a little bit more 747 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: so for that reason, I don't think this was the 748 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: story to be told now. We needed his full on 749 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: origin story first to even get to care about him, 750 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: and then maybe in the second or third movie is 751 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: when you do this, when you realize how much not 752 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: having his mom really has affected him. It's just like 753 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: meeting somebody at a party for the first time and 754 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: learning their parents are dead. Yeah that's really sad, But 755 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: I just met you. So I needed this movie to 756 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: show me, not tell me. So I've seen a lot 757 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: of bad movies I've told you about him. I didn't 758 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,239 Speaker 1: leave the theater feeling like I was robbed. I just 759 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: left the theater disappointed. And isn't that worse when your 760 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: parents tell you they're not mad at you, they're just disappointed. 761 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: I am just disappointed with DC and fumbling what could 762 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: have been their best movie. Yet. I also felt lied 763 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: to because James Gunn said this is one of the 764 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: best superhero movies that's ever been made. I now know 765 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: he was just saying that because he's about to take 766 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: over DC and he needed people to buy into this movie. 767 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: I also think Tom Cruise is a lie because apparently 768 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: after he watched this movie, he had a fifteen minute 769 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: call with the director telling him how much he loved it. 770 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: I think Tom Cruise is now just a movie influencer 771 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: trying to get us all riled up and back into 772 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: the theater. So I felt lied to. I felt disappointed. 773 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: So for that reason, I give The Flash two point 774 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: five out of five Lightning Bolts. 775 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie Mike trailor Paul. 776 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: Could this be the return of Pixar that we all 777 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: know and love. I think it could be after watching 778 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,479 Speaker 1: this trailer. It made me feel like a kid again 779 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: and thinking maybe Pixar's back. 780 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 5: Baby. 781 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: The movie we're talking about is called Ilio and it's 782 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: coming out next year. And for me, I love me 783 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: a good Pixar movie, but as of late, they've just 784 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: been a little bit uninspiring. And you're probably thinking to yourself, well, 785 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: you're a thirty year old man, of course you're not 786 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: gonna like Pixar movies anymore. Not the case. I think 787 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: Pixar movies, for the longest time, really since their origin, 788 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: they have been movies that, yes, are made for children, 789 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: but that adults also enjoy as well. And I believe 790 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: that any piece of art is open for interpretation, It's 791 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: open for anybody to give their opinion on, especially a 792 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: guy like me who does this every single week talking 793 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: about movies. So I get that I'm coming from a 794 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: different perspective and not the key demographic of this movie, 795 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: and not primarily the key demographic for Fixar, a thirty 796 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: year old guy who has no kids. But as a 797 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: movie fan and a movie lover, I think this movie 798 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: looks a lot more up my alley. So what Elio 799 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: is about? He is this kid who in this trailer 800 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: gets beamed up and then accidentally mistaken for the Ambassador 801 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: of Earth, and through that he goes on this journey 802 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: of finding out who he really is. So it seems 803 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: like this little kid going on a big adventure in 804 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: a whole new world. That is classic Pixar to me. 805 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: So before I tell you more about what I think 806 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: about Pixar's l e O, here is just a little 807 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: bit of the trailer bring Us Your Leader. Hi. 808 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 5: Can you hear me? 809 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 4: Honey? 810 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: Now is a really bad time? Okay? 811 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 2: Bye? I love you, I love you. 812 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 5: He please state the name of your home world, uh Earth. 813 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 5: Welcome Leader of UH. 814 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 4: So. 815 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: You get a lot of things in this trailer. You 816 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: get a little humor, You get your first look at Elio, 817 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: which I was curious just based on about a year 818 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: ago when they put out the poster for it. I 819 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: thought this one, out of everything they've announced recently, looked 820 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: the most interesting to me, and coming off of I 821 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: really enjoyed Light Year last year. I loved Pixar stepping 822 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: into this sci fi space. And I know most people 823 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: had a problem with that movie, but I enjoyed it 824 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: more so than the story. It was the visual aspect 825 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: to see how much Pixar could flex their animation skills 826 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to creating a sci fi movie. And 827 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: after watching this trailer, aside from the humor, which is 828 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: kind of just classic Pixar, you get something that finally 829 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: feels fresh and new with their animation, which Pixar has 830 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: always just pushed the envelope. At least in the nineties 831 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: and two thousand, they were so innovative in the movies 832 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: they made. But as of late, since Coco, I would 833 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: say in twenty seventeen, they really haven't pushed that envelope 834 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: anymore in their animation or even in their storytelling. Just 835 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: look at all the movies that have come out since 836 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen's Coco. You have The Incredibles too, which is 837 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: part of a franchise, so not pushing the envelope. There. 838 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: You have Toy Story four, just cashing in on a 839 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: bunch of characters we already know. 840 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 3: In love. 841 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, you had Onward, which I hardly really 842 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: remember much about that movie. It was very okay, a 843 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: lot of people loved Soul, but I feel like that 844 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: movie hasn't stood the test of time. And tell me, 845 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: that was a kid's movie that was much more of 846 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: a movie geared towards me than it was for kids. 847 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: Luca which was fine but came and went turning Red, 848 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: which I thought was a pretty good bright spot for Pixar, 849 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: but it was weird that that movie came out on 850 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 1: Disney Plus. I feel like it didn't have that same 851 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: effect that most Pixar movies usually have. Then you have 852 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: light Year and Elemental, which just came out this past weekend, 853 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: and I will save my review for that for a 854 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: later episode, but even going into that movie, I felt 855 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 1: like Elemental had a lot of elements and no pun 856 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: intended of inside Out and also a little bit of Zootopia. 857 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: But Ilio feels like a fresh new concept, an original 858 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: idea and animation that's actually gonna want me to pay 859 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: money to see it on the big screen. And that 860 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: is a big part of what Disney is facing right 861 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: now with their Disney movies and with Pixar movies, is 862 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: everything lately has just felt like Disney plus qualities. So 863 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: maybe they haven't had the big vision on what's going 864 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 1: on Disney Plus and what's going in theaters. But this movie, 865 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: to me is saying we're putting this out in theaters, 866 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: and this is a movie we believe in and are 867 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: really going to invest in, and this could be the 868 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: start of a new chapter for Pixar. So bring back 869 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: that old school vibe that made those movies great and 870 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: push the envelope again on the animation. What I love 871 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: about this trailer is it really speaks to my curiosity. 872 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: You really don't know a whole lot about Ilio, aside 873 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: from the fact that at the beginning of the trailer 874 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 1: he is giving his mom a call, probably just something 875 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: kid related. Maybe he's frightened by something and just needs 876 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: to talk to his mom, not knowing that she is 877 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: intercepting a call from this alien life form. And somehow 878 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: his call gets messed up and he gets sucked in 879 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: and called before this alien organization. So there are a 880 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: lot of questions about the story I still have after 881 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: watching this trailer, and that, quite frankly, is what a 882 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: trailer is supposed to do. Supposed to make me curious. 883 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: It's not supposed to tell me beginning, middle, and end 884 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 1: and then get me to go watch the movie in 885 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: long form. Just give me the taste, give me the 886 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: look and feel of the characters, but give me a 887 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: reason to want to go and explore more. It also 888 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: kind of reminded me the first time I saw the 889 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: full Leelo and Stitch trailer, where you see this alien creature, 890 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: you learn his name is Stitch, and then he's flying 891 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: into Earth on a stolen spaceship. I just think Disney 892 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: in Space is so good, and this is the time 893 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: that this movie should come out. Maybe if Disney is 894 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: planning some kind of Pixar multiverse, we get a Stitch 895 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: cameo in this movie. I wouldn't hate it. And Elio 896 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: again is coming out on March first, twenty twenty four. 897 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: I would be the oldest person in the theater without kids. 898 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 5: He said that. 899 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 2: Bar is this week's edition of movie Line. 900 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: Tramer Bar, and that's gonna do it for another episode 901 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta 902 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: give my listeners shout out that I've been doing every 903 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: single episode since I started this podcast back in twenty nineteen. 904 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: This week's listeners shout out goes to a comment I 905 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: got on my TikTok page. If you don't follow me 906 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: on TikTok, you're missing out because I do post videos 907 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: over there that I don't post anywhere else. So for 908 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 1: just following me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, you gotta 909 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: go over to TikTok to get all the movie content. 910 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: So this week's listener's shout out goes to Rick, who 911 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: commented on one of my tiktoks and it was my 912 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: Transformer's review, and he said, I was oddly excited by 913 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: this movie too. The only thing it was missing for 914 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: me was a good Lincoln Park song at the end, 915 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: and I fully agree with you, Rick, I think what 916 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: I've done by Lincoln Park, played at the end of 917 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: the original Transformers movie, is one of the best uses 918 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: of music in a movie ever. That is one that 919 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: I just vividly remember the first time I experienced it, 920 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: and I only identify that song with that movie in 921 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: that moment. And I am also just a sucker for 922 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: a good closing song to a movie that plays at 923 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: the credits. That is my favorite genre of music, songs 924 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: that would be good in movie credits, and I think 925 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: what I've done by Lincoln Park is one of the best. 926 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: So thank you Rick for that comment, Thank you for listening. 927 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: Make sure you're subscribed, and maybe tell a friend because 928 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: next week I have director Lee Cronin on.
