Speaker 3: My bad.

6
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,040

00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the new Bad Boys movie, Bad Boys Ride or Die.

11
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: This month really flew by, It really didn't.

12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I know I say that every single month, but it

13
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: was literally here and now it's gone. And now there

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: are so many more good movies coming out that I

15
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: can't wait just to get into summer.

16
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: April's about to be huge month. We have Civil War Challengers.

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Ooh, I've been waiting for that movie for so long.

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: We'll also get into some movie news. We'll do thumbs

Speaker 3: World where everyone and their mother has a podcast.

24
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: One man stands to infiltrate the ears.

25
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: Of listeners like never before in a movie podcast.

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: a walking IMTB with glasses.

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: From the Nashville Podcast Network, this is movie Mikes Movie pot.

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: All right, we'll kick it off now, getting right into

30
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: the best and worst. Kelsey, you started off, what was

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the best thing you saw in March Drive ay DoLS,

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: And that was the movie about the two girls who

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: take a trip down to Tallahassee realize they have something

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: in their car that some criminals want. And it's a

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: pretty wacky movie. But I also like that aspect of it.

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: It's wacky, it's raunchy. Listen.

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: It's no secret that I love a female at raunchy comedy.

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: My favorite movie of all times Broadsmaids.

39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Those are kind of making the comeback right now.

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: I think it's great. Listen. We have so many raunchy

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: dude movies. That's always been the genre. American Pie, Super Bad,

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: Wedding Crashers, Over and probably Missing, like seventeen more, a.

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Lot of raunchy dude comedies. It's more common, I.

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: Feel like, so I feel like, give the females some

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: raunchy comedies.

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: I think it's hilarious.

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I feel like some people may have a problem with

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: the switch because it feels more normal for a guy

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to be raunchy. Whenever a female lead or female character

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: start doing that, people are like, oh, this is weird.

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: It's Women's History month. Let us have our raunchy comedies.

52
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they should happen more often because I

53
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: just find it more refreshing.

54
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: It's not just I won't say it because I know children.

55
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: It's not d jokes the whole movie.

56
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was thinking is I feel like,

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, not even just movies, but like stand up comedy,

58
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: a dude can just get up there and talk about

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: his private parts and it's like, ah, he's doing comedy.

60
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: Or about women. I won't say what show, but you

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: and I went to a comedy show one time and

62
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: it was the most low brow, misogynistic comedy, just like

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: think of any like terrible thing that a comedian could

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: try to like swing for to make someone laugh. And

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: you looked at me and you're like, do you want

66
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: to leave? And I was like, I've never wanted to

67
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: leave somewhere more.

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we leave, But I agree with that, and I

69
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: think this is a really good movie, one that I

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: feel like will probably go unnoticed a little bit because

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: it was a smaller budget movie.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: But maybe it will pop off on streaming like BookSmart did.

73
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: I think it definitely will. I think that I think

74
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: comedies in general will have a better run in streaming,

75
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: just because this movie didn't have the biggest leads attached

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: to it. Although Margaret Quayley Beanie Feldstein, Yeah, I just

77
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: feel like in the grand scheme of people that you're

78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: going to sell tickets, probably not going to But once

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: it goes to streaming, I feel like comedies do better there.

80
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: The problem is if a comedy just goes on to

81
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: streaming and doesn't really make money, it's hard to make

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: another movie like that again. And I think that's the

83
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: reason we see less and less comedies is because they're

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: not as profitable. Therefore, studios don't want to invest in

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: them because they really don't get a whole lot out

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: of them. Even though for a movie like Driveaway Dolls

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: that is a good movie on paper, you look at

88
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the numbers and you think, oh, that movie flopped, which

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: is not the case all the time. So hopefully once

90
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: that movie goes to streaming, it does pretty well for

91
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: my best of the month. It was kind of along

92
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: the same lines a Driveaway Dolls. It is Love Livees Bleeding,

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: which you didn't go see with me Town, but it's

94
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: the Kristen Stewart movie. I feel like the plot is

95
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: a little bit similar as far as being two female

96
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: leads dealing with the type of crime, except Love Lives

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: Bleeding has the A twenty four treatment, and in this

98
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: case is a lot more dramatic, a lot more violent,

99
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: not that same comedic tone as Driveaway Dolls. But I

100
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: feel like the audience for both of those movies are

101
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: probably a little bit of the same, And this was

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a movie I went into just loving the aesthetic of it.

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: I have like a weird fascination with Kristin Stewart as

104
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: an actress.

105
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm here for the Chris Stuart renaissance.

106
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: I think this movie should start her comeback, not that

107
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: she ever really fully went away.

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was hard because she did Twilight and

109
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: it was one of those where you do one project

110
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: and it starts your career and it's what the only

111
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: thing you're ever known as? And I'm like, did we

112
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: really think that a movie about a high school er

113
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: marrying a vampire having a baby who ends up being

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 3: imprinted on by her werewolf best friend was anyone's showcase

115
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: of talent.

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: No, but it put her on the map.

117
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: Put her on the map.

118
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 3: But I think that she is such a talented actress

119
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: and I'm excited to see her getting better roles. And

120
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: her press tour for this has been really fun. I

121
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: just watched part of her interview that she did with

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Seth Myers, and it was really funny because she has

123
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: that like such good just like deadpan humor. She's so

124
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: good at that and you can't tell if sometimes she's

125
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: being serious or facetious.

126
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: And I find that hilarious and kind of along the

127
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: same lines of her co star in Twilight, Robert Pattinson,

128
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: who has also had that same struggle of not being

129
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: viewed as Edward from Twilight. I think it was hard

130
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: for people to even see him cast as Batman because

131
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: they just saw him as the vampire.

132
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: I think it was great, but he was.

133
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: So good in that.

134
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: Are they making another one of those?

135
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: Yes, it got delayed another year, so probably won't come out.

136
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: It was supposed to come out next year. Probably won't

137
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: come out until twenty twenty six. That movie takes so

138
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: long to film, and it was kind of along the

139
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: same lines of what happened with the first one. I

140
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: would rather them take their time, get filming started and

141
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: make it great than just try to rush it and

142
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: put it out next year. I think there's also a

143
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: lot of restructuring happening right now on the DC side

144
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: of James Gunn taking over. He's trying to build something

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: and not confuse audiences, which I think is their biggest

146
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: struggle right now, because they're gonna come back out with

147
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: another Superman movie, and then people were gonna associate it

148
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: with the Superman movie from ten years ago, and then

149
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: if he has a Batman in that world the other

150
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: Batman is, it's gonna be a lot of confusing even

151
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: for people were dialed in.

152
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 3: What confuses me, and I know I've said this before

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: apologies for being a broken record, is the fact that

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: James Gunn is Shawn Gunn's brother, and Shawn Gunn played

155
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: Kirk on Gilmore Girls.

156
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: He also has guest role in Guardians of the Galaxy.

157
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: He's in a lot of his movies, But I just

158
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: like all I see him as is Kirk and Gilmore Girls.

159
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: And I know you haven't watched Gilmore Girls with me,

160
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: but Kirk is the wackiest, kookiest character and I just

161
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: can't take him seriously or anything else. But it's just

162
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: so funny that Kirk's brother is making all of these

163
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: superhero movies.

164
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah. I never saw him as the guy from

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls until I saw him out protesting during the

166
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: writer strike and they like credited him as Gilmore Girls actor.

167
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I guess that's what he's

168
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: known for. More.

169
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: One of my favorite Christmas gifts was our sister in law,

170
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: your brother's wife gave me a sticker and it says

171
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: a film by Kirk and only Gilmore Girls fans would

172
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: get the reference.

173
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: But it is a prized possession.

174
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: It has a shoe I never really got into, not

175
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: that I was opposed to getting into it.

176
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: It's my comfort show that in Friends. If I need

177
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: to fall asleep to something, it's either Gilmore Girls or Friends.

178
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: My comfort show right now is Community, which is at

179
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: the time Netflix of this episode coming out, will have

180
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: left Netflix.

181
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: Rip Community.

182
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Oh man, I watched that show so much during the

183
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: early twenty tens when it was still on the air.

184
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny, and going back and rewatching it, I'm like,

185
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: a lot of this still holds up, although it is

186
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: weird some of the references, even just ten years ago.

187
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: It's like, man, you can't say that anymore. And that's

188
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: with any comedy that.

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: EF derailed us. Sorry, but that is our.

190
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: Best of March. Now, what was your worst?

191
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: People aren't gonna lame me for this. It was Dune too.

192
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: I found a.

193
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: Lot of people agree with me in thinking that movie

194
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: was quite boring.

195
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: It it didn't do it for me. I don't It

196
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: wasn't even the plot's not bad. The movie's not bad.

197
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: I just was bored.

198
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: It's just boring. At the end of the day, it

199
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: is just boring.

200
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: I came home and did like a no pun intended

201
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: Wikipedia wormhole about Dune, rabbit hole, whatever you want to

202
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: call it, and I was like, still don't get it.

203
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: I get that it's like critically acclaimed, but still don't

204
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: get it.

205
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: I get the majority of it. I get its intention.

206
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: It is a commentary, almost like a spiritual commentary of

207
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: like somebody being the chosen one, people choosing to rally

208
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: behind that person that person kind of living up to that.

209
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: You have this whole religious war going on in the film,

210
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: But I just found myself thinking, like, I don't care

211
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: either way what happens to these characters. And aside from

212
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: the visual aspect of Dune and the action aspect, I

213
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: think those fight sequences are really great. There's just nothing

214
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: really to grasp onto you. And with a movie that

215
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: has such an amazing cast, all those people individually are

216
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: great and could lead their own movie, but the fact

217
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: that they're all in one movie that mixed with the

218
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: great director, it should be my favorite movie of the year.

219
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like you have to be a really

220
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: big film nerd to really enjoy Dune. And I'm not

221
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: that level of nerd. And if you are that level

222
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: of nerd, more power to you, because I feel like

223
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: being alive at a time where this is happening right

224
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: now and you can watch one, you can watch two

225
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: and anticipate that they go to make three is a

226
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: great time to be a Dune fan. With all these

227
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: eighties movies coming back, that's probably the one that the

228
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: people are most hype on. For me, I just don't

229
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: get it. I'm not into it, so I agree with

230
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: you and being one of the worst that we saw

231
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: last month, mainly just because wanted to doze.

232
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: Off so long too listen you can't be boring and long.

233
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: And I was hoping that going to see it in

234
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: theaters would change how I felt about the movie, that

235
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: I would be more just engulfed in the movie because

236
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: we watched the first one at home when I mean

237
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: that was another weird time that that movie came out

238
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: straight to HBO Max at the time.

239
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: I think we also messed up and seeing in the

240
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: evening we needed to do like a three pm show

241
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: and like chug a coffee and then go into it.

242
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: We really really screwed up saying it at six pm,

243
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: six point thirty.

244
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Can you remember when we left there were still people

245
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: going to watch it at like nine thirty, going into

246
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: Dune to a three hour movie.

247
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: I mean, those were the days of youth. I mean

248
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: I used to see a midnight premiere.

249
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't think I I went to one midnight release

250
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: for Jackass three D. Other than that I did not

251
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: get it, Like I remember a point in my life

252
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: where I didn't even think about movie times. I would

253
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: I would go to a later movie showing but now

254
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: I was just like, out of the question for me.

255
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. We don't really leave the house late.

256
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: I had dinner with a friend a couple months ago

257
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: when I was like, I want to grab drinks at

258
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: like six forty five, dinner at seven thirty, and she

259
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: was like, initially I was like, dinner at seven thirty.

260
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: It worked out, but I was like, yeah, that's it's

261
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: about how I feel these days.

262
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am in a place right now where I

263
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: feel myself getting older. It could also be the job

264
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: that I have. But somebody the other day invited me

265
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: to go out on a weeknight to do something, and

266
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: just the thought of that, I was like, I'm not

267
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: doing a week night I'm too I can't do that.

268
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: People do that. I only watched that in movies.

269
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we went to a run club event this week

270
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: and the run didn't start till six thirty. We weren't

271
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: home till seven to forty five, and dinner till like

272
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: eight thirty. And I know that's what people do, Like

273
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: people in New York dinner after eight. Spain dinners until

274
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: like nine pm.

275
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Spain takes like a whole hour during the

276
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: day to just chill.

277
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: We were both like, I don't know what to do

278
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: with myself getting home this light.

279
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: It was like seven forty five.

280
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: What isday midnight? It' say forty five, bro.

281
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you earlier this week. You got in bed at

282
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: like nine o'clock, and I can't go to sleep that early.

283
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: I am a night owl.

284
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: I joke that I have like a whole other life

285
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: after you go to bed, because I'm just a wait

286
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: till like twelve or one. I physically cannot power down.

287
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I am entering the age where if we don't

288
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: start a movie, eight is the latest week you start

289
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: a movie and me think I'm going to get through

290
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: this anything After eight I'm falling asleep.

291
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: And I can't watch anything on a Thursday night because

292
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: on the Thursday night you're so tired and you still

293
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: have work on Friday that on the Thursday night you

294
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: just like flop over on the couch and you're asleep

295
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: on the couch.

296
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

297
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, it really, it really is like living with

298
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: a geriatric person.

299
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: But I wake up early.

300
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: You do wake up early.

301
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm alive in the morning.

302
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: I know. I've started asking you to open the blinds

303
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: when you leave in the morning. I'm trying to get

304
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: that Circadium rhythm back on track, and it's not. It's

305
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: not working out for me.

306
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: But for my worst of March, it goes to Imaginary,

307
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: which is one of the worst horror movies I've seen

308
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: in a really long time. And my favorite thing to

309
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: do when going to the theater alone is to go

310
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: watch a horror movie because you're not into them.

311
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 2: Nope.

312
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I find it comforting to sit in the theater alone

313
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: because I usually go during the day on like a Saturday,

314
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: there's maybe one or two other people in there. A

315
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: couple of times I've seen the same person, this like

316
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: sixty five year old woman who apparently just loves horror movies,

317
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I've seen you here before, and she

318
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: just sits there also by yourself, gets a popcorn, gets

319
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: their drink, and just enjoys a horror movie. There is

320
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: a certain type of movie who there is a certain

321
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: type of person who enjoys a horror movie like that.

322
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: So and it's not me and it's not you. And

323
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: I kind of bonded with her, even though I didn't

324
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: say anything to her. But there's just something comforting about

325
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: sitting in a dark theater with the anticipation of being scared.

326
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: That literally sounds like my worst nightmare.

327
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I love it.

328
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do.

329
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: You scare easily too around the house.

330
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, around the house, I do.

331
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: I walk out of the bedroom, and if you can't,

332
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: if you're not in my line of sight, and you

333
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: like see me, all of a sudden, you were a

334
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: cat jumping ten feet in the air. I walked into

335
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: your office earlier you were walking out, and now I

336
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: will say you scared me this time, but.

337
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: We were like running into each other.

338
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: So sitting in a dark theater preparing to be scared

339
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: is my idea of hell.

340
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: I love the feeling, but as opposed to at home,

341
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: where you just turn a corner and I don't see

342
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: you and you scare me. In a movie, it is

343
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: so hard to evook that same emotion in me. It

344
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: is hard for me to be scared in a movie.

345
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: Anticipatory like anxiety, just knowing that I'm gonna be scared.

346
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: I need a blanket over my head. I'm not watching

347
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: I'm and I know these things aren't real in horror movies,

348
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter.

349
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm still scared.

350
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: But when it came to Imaginary. There was no moment

351
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: that I felt even a little bit scared. The other

352
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: annoying thing about me is I can predict movies pretty

353
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: well just by thinking about how this movie is written,

354
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: how it's going to end.

355
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, during Kung Fu Panda, there was part where you

356
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: predicted the po the panda was gonna fart.

357
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: And what did he do? He farted, you know, and

358
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna fart and you're like, how did you know that?

359
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's a kid's movie.

360
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: No, I attribute that to your brain being that of

361
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: a twelve year old.

362
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: I just I do that sometimes. I just know exactly

363
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: what is going to happen, and then it happens in imaginary.

364
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I from the first five minutes, I knew everything that

365
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: was going to happen and how it's gonna go down.

366
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: So for a movie called imaginary having no imagination whatsoever

367
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: was horrible. It robbed me. It robbed me of that

368
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: experience of going into a theater to be scared. So

369
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: that was the worst thing I've seen in March.

370
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: So we give some honorable mentions.

371
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, on either side of it, what do you got?

372
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: Oh?

373
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: I was gonna do like TV?

374
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go for it.

375
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: We've been watching X Pats on Amazon Prime, which is

376
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: not new, but we have a couple episodes left. A

377
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: nice six episode limited series wrap up quick. It'scottennicole Kidman.

378
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: Her best work is in limited series. She's great.

379
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the only thing we've been watching

380
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: this month.

381
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: For me, it is X Men ninety seven.

382
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: Well, I thought you were about to throw me under

383
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: the bus with my reality show that I've been watching.

384
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: I'll talk about that in a second.

385
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: Mine is X Men ninety seven. I was a huge

386
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: fan of X Men. The animated series in the nineties

387
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: has the best theme song in any animated show of

388
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: all time, and that show was very Saturday Morning cartoon esque.

389
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Wasn't a whole lot to it. The plotlines are pretty simple.

390
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: It was mainly just the nostalgia factor of I watched

391
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: it so much as a kid, and now on Disney

392
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: Plus they have brought back this series, but the series

393
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: has aged with all the people who are a fan

394
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: of the original one, so there's an actual solid plotline.

395
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: The animation is different. It really feels like a comic

396
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: book come to life, and it's one of the best

397
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: depictions of X Men I've ever seen, because the movies

398
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: can be really hit or missed. I think one through

399
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: three you're solid. After that you get into some weird territory.

400
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: There's some really bad X Men movies. But it works

401
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: so well as an animated series. It is the only

402
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: show right now that as soon as a new episode

403
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: goes up on Wednesday, I am dying to watch it.

404
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: I think if you are a fan of Marvel and

405
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: haven't given any of their animated shows a chance, even

406
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: if you tried What If or any of the other

407
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: animated shows, this is the only one I really recommend.

408
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: Are you gonna watch that this Saturday morning?

409
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm yeah.

410
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: Should I get out the Freddy Pebbles candle for you?

411
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: Yes? That's perfect because it comes out on Wednesdays. And

412
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: some people said, oh, they missed opportunity of not releasing

413
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: it on Saturday. Just hold it till Saturday to give

414
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: you that feeling again.

415
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: I have a candle that's called Can't Adult Today and

416
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: it smells like the description is like cereal milk and

417
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: not paying bills, and it really does smelling fruity pebbles.

418
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 3: So I will let you. I'll get that out so

419
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 3: you can light it Saturday morning and watch it perfect

420
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: and then my reality TV show that I can't stop

421
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: watching is a welcome to plath Pill on TLC.

422
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: And when she says she can't stop watching it, you

423
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: really can't stop watching it. You will have it on

424
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: at night and then any moment you get your turning

425
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: on an episode. I haven't seen anybody run through a

426
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: series so quickly.

427
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: I was also sick last week. True took a sick

428
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: date and well I didn't. I was sick, so I

429
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: slept like two pm. But then I did wake up

430
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: watching Plathfill for about five hours and then go back

431
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: to bed. It did nurse me back to life. My

432
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 3: best friend and I started it when I was in Denver.

433
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go into what it's about, but

434
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: it's just about a family and it's quality TLC reality television.

435
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: It's my addiction. It that way you will get I

436
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: was trying to think if I had a book, honorable mention.

437
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't actually know that I have one.

438
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: For that.

439
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get to the movie news and then

440
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: if you have a book, we'll do it at the end.

441
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be thinking, so we're gonna.

442
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Do thumbs up thumbs down on whether or not you're

443
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: excited about these movies.

444
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: Now I have to vocalize this because no one can

445
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: see me if that thumbs.

446
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: Up first up. Joker IWO is apparently a two hundred

447
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: million dollar jukebox musical.

448
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: And are giant thumbs sound.

449
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: I feel a little conflicted on this because I knew

450
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: it was going to be a musical, but the detail

451
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: of it being a jukebox musical, which if you're not

452
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: familiar with that, essentially a normal musical is all original songs.

453
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: A jukebox musical is them covering songs. So like Mama

454
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Mia has all abba songs, that is a jukebox musical.

455
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: In this movie, they're doing a lot of like classical

456
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: songs from like thirties, forties, fifties songs like the Bandwagon

457
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: is one of the songs in the movie. That's entertainment.

458
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: That is the part that I feel a little bit weird,

459
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: and I try not to be.

460
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga just can't not sing.

461
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really can't, like I was. That was the

462
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: reason I was hoping. I thought the casting was good

463
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: because I thought, like, oh, we're gonna see a different

464
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: side of Lady Gaga to be in a really dark movie.

465
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: Gagad just wants to see but now she is just

466
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: in a full on musical. I wanted to see her

467
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: in a movie where she doesn't sing. Now, I think

468
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: this movie is going to be very dark and twisted,

469
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: so I feel like the musical aspect is going to

470
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: be very deranged in a way. I'm hoping Todd Phillips

471
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: knows what he is doing here and that it's going

472
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: to make sense when we see it.

473
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: Maybe the music will make the movie make me less

474
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: anxious than the first one, because I can't rewatch that movie. It.

475
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: I know you love it, but it physically, I like

476
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 3: start showing symptoms of anxiety, like my heart rate rises,

477
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: I feel sweaty. I just like something about that movie

478
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: Anxiety Central for me.

479
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: It gets really dark, and at the time it came

480
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: out in very much a mirror of what was happening

481
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: in the country at that time, so I think that's

482
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: why a lot of people had issues with it. So

483
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I feel like Joker two is going to have that

484
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: same darkness and to kind of offset that, they're gonna

485
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: be like big musical numbers because of the song. Yeah,

486
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: like the characters are very deranged. It's about somebody's descent

487
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: into madness. So I feel like the musical is gonna

488
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: be this weird fantasy. I don't know how that's going

489
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: to go back and forth.

490
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: Might descend me into madness.

491
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: But the fact that it costs two hundred million dollars

492
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: as an expensive musical, so.

493
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: Your thumbs down giant thumbs down.

494
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm still thumbs up, but it's a little.

495
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: Shaky, it's solid thumbs down.

496
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: Another sequel in the works is the Happy Gilmore two.

497
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: Script is reportedly at least in a first draft. The

498
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: first one came out back in nineteen ninety six, which

499
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: is a long time. I am worried about this because

500
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Adam Sandler doing a Happy Gilmore too

501
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: at this point is really going to do it justice.

502
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give a mid thumb like I'm not thumbs

503
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: up or thumbs down. I'm thumbed to the side.

504
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thumbs down right now, because when it

505
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: comes to comedies, Adam Sandler really hasn't crushed it as

506
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: far as putting out a new, really great comedy. I

507
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: feel like the closest he's got to kind of capturing

508
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: the energy from the early movies is like the murder

509
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: mystery movies.

510
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: But it's pretty funny.

511
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: But aside from that, if it has like that same

512
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: grown ups level vibe to it.

513
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: Hey grown ups one hilarious grown ups two subpar, but

514
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: grown ups one.

515
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: I remember certain someone laughing along.

516
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: I do like grown ups, but it's a whole different

517
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: level of Adam Sandler, like Happy Gilmore, is him at

518
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: his prime? Yeah, I attribute his two best movies being

519
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. I'm a bigger fan of

520
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Billy Madison.

521
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 2: See I'm gonna go Big Daddy.

522
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's later, that's right before the two thousand

523
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: stuff where it kind of went a little bit downhill.

524
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: I also love ye Big Daddy.

525
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: I can wipe my own ass.

526
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Will somebody get this kid a happy meal? So all

527
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: the movies for him to remake, I would rather have,

528
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: honestly a Big Daddy two or a Bill Mason too. Yeah,

529
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: this is kind of third down there, just because maybe

530
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: the fan base is bigger, maybe because of the sports

531
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: aspect of it. Then he's gonna bring in all like

532
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: a bunch of sports people, and for them it is

533
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: just gonna be like a cool cameo. But when you

534
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: get all these cameos in there, it takes away from

535
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: the story. It just turned that formula like a commercial. Yeah,

536
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: then it's just everybody them getting all these big stars

537
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: so they can promote it on social media so it

538
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: does better at the box office, and then it just

539
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: becomes a big commercial. So that is why I am

540
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: giving that a thumbs down. Next up on movie News,

541
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: apparently Scarlett Johansson is going to be in the new

542
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park movie, So they are reviving it yet again

543
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: without Chris Pratt, without Bryce Dallas Howard, and instead it's

544
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna be Scarlett Joehansson.

545
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: I'm confused.

546
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: We're doing a third, yes, another reboot of Jurassic Park.

547
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: It's supposed to come out on July second, twenty twenty five.

548
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: It'll be the seventh chapter in the Jurassic Universe. For

549
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: anybody to get Scarlet Johansson, I feel like that would

550
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: be pretty good.

551
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm going thumbs down because I'm so sick of reviving

552
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: things eight thousand times within a lifetime.

553
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't really see this as a full revival reboot.

554
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just a continuation of what they

555
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: just did with all of these movies, which.

556
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: Might add was not about dinosaurs. Yeah, they'll go back

557
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: and listen to that episode.

558
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: The last one with them bringing back their original cast

559
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: and Laura Dirt and all that We.

560
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: Went Downhill movie was not about dinosaurs.

561
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah it was not. I stand by that, so hopefully

562
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: taking away all of the aspects that try to hold

563
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: on to the original one from the nineties, because I mean,

564
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: dinosaurs are awesome.

565
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: This sours are awesome.

566
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: But like, I don't know, I mean, we already got

567
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: a lot of godzillas.

568
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: I feel like dinosaurs are having a comeback.

569
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: And then we got The Kong and we got like

570
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: the Planet of the Apes, got a lot of gorillas, monkeys, dinosaurs.

571
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Too many big animals.

572
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: It's a lot going on.

573
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: Only for the reason that Scarlett Johansson is attached to it.

574
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: As of now, I give it a thumbs up.

575
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: I do love Scardro.

576
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: Also in revival news, Pirates of the Caribbean is going

577
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: to reboot the franchise.

578
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: I am giving two thumbs down. I'm putting my big

579
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: toes down. I am putting every appendage down right now.

580
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: No, there are rumors that Margot Robbie is attached, not confirmed,

581
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: that is just what they are speculating.

582
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: Margo, Robbie is so smart, stop rebooting things.

583
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thumbs down on this one because as

584
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: a whole, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies went so downhill.

585
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: So my least favorite, like Fantasy whatever franchise of all time.

586
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: I also just don't like Johnny Dupp.

587
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: I love the first one, love the second one, but

588
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: after that they went really downhill. I remember going to

589
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: see the last one in theaters and it was pretty bad.

590
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: But even a pretty bad Pirates of the Caribbean movie

591
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: is still slightly entertaining to me because they are so big,

592
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: elaboratoral there's a lot to them. Even a bad one

593
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: is still entering and you throw it on cable and

594
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, yeah, this makes sense.

595
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: So you're telling me no one in Hollywood is a

596
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: single original thought.

597
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: I think they do. But I think when whenever headlines

598
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: come out, the ones that grab them are the big

599
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: movies that people know they have the bigger actors attached

600
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: to them. You don't really see a lot of people

601
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: talking about civil war right now.

602
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, but makes something good new original.

603
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Even for me that I try to defend reboots in sequels.

604
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little bit tired of them at this point.

605
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: It comes down to business. They're just trying to make

606
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: some money and movies are a bad investment for the

607
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: most part. That reviving something that already has a built

608
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: in fan base is seen as this is what we

609
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: should be doing.

610
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: I have a contribution to a revival or a sequel.

611
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: I did see that they're making a John Tucker Must

612
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: I too, And I know I'm usually don't make a

613
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: sequel of like movies that I loved, but I would

614
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: like to see that one come back.

615
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: You've never watched John Tucker Must I have you?

616
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: Kay?

617
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: It's required watching. Soon we'll watch it together.

618
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: Hilarious early two thousands teen rom com It was a

619
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: great genre now that I would watch because most of

620
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: the original actors are attached to it and have worked

621
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 3: on the script, so it could be good.

622
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: But that's my contribution. I'll give that one the thumbs up.

623
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: And finally, in Revival News, they are going to make

624
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: a sequel to a simple Favor. They have the original

625
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: writer and director coming back for that. It looks like

626
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively will also be back. I

627
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: remember this was prime pandemic pandemic watching. We watched the

628
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: first one where there was a point during the pandemic

629
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: during lockdown where we watched a new movie every night,

630
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: or one that we haven't seen.

631
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: That was a great time.

632
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 3: Well, finally because we were like in the same city

633
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: after the month apart, but yeah, it was a great

634
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: We just would watch something new every night. We'd finish

635
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 3: where that was before I moved in, like all of

636
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: my furniture, so you had like a couch.

637
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all I had.

638
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: Was a bachelor pad. You had a singular large leather sectional. Yeah.

639
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: We would just curl up and watch movies.

640
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: And of all the movies we watched, this was the

641
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: one that I really associate with that time.

642
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: That and a missing or was it searching? Which one

643
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: was first searching?

644
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: Was for?

645
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: Ooh, I forget which one searching and missing or essentially

646
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: a sequel to the other one searching. I think it's searching, yes,

647
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: and then yeah, missing is where the mom is missing. Yeah,

648
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: Searching is where he's searching for his Yeah, okay.

649
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: That yeah, searching in a simple favor I associate with

650
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 3: that time so.

651
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: Just for the reason that I associated even though that

652
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: was a bad time, there were some moments in that

653
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: that were fun, fun memories, and I associate a simple

654
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: favor with that time. So for that reason, I give

655
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: it a thumbs up and we'll check it out.

656
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: I definitely give that one a thumbs up.

657
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I loved like clavely and did you have your book

658
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: that you wanted to talk to?

659
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I was trying to think if I I don't

660
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: think I said this one for February, because I don't

661
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: think I finished it until I think I finished it

662
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: to Women's Day nonfiction. It's called The Exceptions. It's about

663
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: women in stem fields and fighting for like academic recognition,

664
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: like tenure in getting a PhD. It's really good like

665
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: exploratory reporting. And I've now since bought two more books

666
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: about like women in like different professions, ones about like

667
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: women in the CIA, and ones' about the women who

668
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: were code breakers during World War two who would like

669
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: intercept and decode the Germans coding.

670
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: So I love like exploratory writing like that.

671
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to finish the one book I started

672
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: this year. I'll get there.

673
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: You'll get there eventually.

674
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: It's a lot easier for me to finish comic books,

675
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: read a lot of those this year. It comes to

676
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: regular books. I wish I was more of a reader.

677
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: You wish I were like me, I really do. I

678
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: wish I could just finish one.

679
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: And I know you pick up books and you're like,

680
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: this is really interesting. I'm really gonna love this one.

681
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

682
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: Have you started on those giant Marvel books I bought

683
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: you for Christmas?

684
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: I have?

685
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: I have?

686
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ok, I've read a solid three or four chapters

687
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: in those no I got. There's also a lot of

688
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: big pictures in that.

689
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: A lot of pictures.

690
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and talk about Godzilla and

691
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: Kong and into the trailer park. We'll talk about bad boys,

692
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: right or die. Let's get into it now. A spoiler

693
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: free review of Godzilla and Kong a New Empire gonna

694
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: be a really fun and easy review to do today

695
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: because that's just the type of movie this is. This

696
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: was me going in to watch this movie. Here's the

697
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: switch on my brain, turn it completely off. Now. The

698
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: most versus interesting it started back ten years ago now,

699
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: with Godzilla in twenty fourteen. This was the reintroduction of

700
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: Godzilla and then later Kong to the American audience, which

701
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: had really been absent for a while now, even though

702
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Godzilla has thirty five plus almost forty films in its legacy,

703
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: one of the most historic franchises of all time, but

704
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: really the best ones come out of Japan and the

705
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: American ones don't really get it right. And I feel

706
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: like after watching Godzilla Minus one, I am completely spoiled.

707
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: But the interesting thing about the Monster Verse, they didn't

708
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: really start out making these big, hokey, dumb movies. That

709
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: is now kind of what they have evolved into, really

710
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: leaning into that playfulness. So if you know that and

711
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: that is the type of movie you want to watch,

712
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: I think you go into the theater and have an

713
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: amazing time, because that is exactly what this movie is now.

714
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: In this one, not really a whole lot to the plot.

715
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Essentially it takes place after the first one, which it

716
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: does help to see Godzilla and Kong, mainly so you

717
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: know what's going on with their beef, also with them

718
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: quickly getting into what hollow Earth is, which is greatly

719
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: described in Part one. It's essentially this ancient subterranean deep

720
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: ecosystem and Earth where there's like no gravity, it's close

721
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: to the planet's core and all these other Titans live.

722
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Cong goes back and forth between the two, So to

723
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: really get to know what that is, you have to

724
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: watch the first one. I don't think you'd be completely lost,

725
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: but they do spend a lot of time there, so

726
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: it would help to know that, and it would help

727
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: to know why they beef, because there's a moment in

728
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: the movie that would really only be gratifying if you

729
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: watch the first one. But hey, there's also not a

730
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: lot to grasp onto. If you google it before you

731
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: watch it, I think you'll understand. You'll be fine. It's

732
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: basically just two monsters fighting a bunch of other monsters,

733
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: not a whole lot to get, and that is exactly

734
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: what the entire plot is. You have Godzilla and Kong

735
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: still at opposite ends, but now there is this new

736
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: threat forming that is bigger and stronger, and they're gonna

737
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: have to team up to take them on. So what

738
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: you do get in this movie is a lot of big,

739
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: fun action, and I think it does demand the big

740
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: screen because it is a spectacle to watch. It's almost

741
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: to the point that I don't even think you need

742
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: the humans anymore, even though Brian Tyree Henry is the

743
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: comic relief in this movie. Rebecca Hall is pretty good too,

744
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: But you don't really go into this movie we wanted

745
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: to see any acting performances because they're doing the bare minimum. Really,

746
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: there really isn't much of a script. There's no character development.

747
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: I will say, when it comes to the dialogue between

748
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: the first one and this one, it really took a dip.

749
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: So I don't even think you need the humans anymore.

750
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: I would find it more interesting if they just had

751
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: the Titans on the screen the entire time. Kind of

752
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: reminded me a little bit of Planet of the Apes

753
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: because the majority of that movie is just the apes

754
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: communicating with each other. So problem you get into is

755
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: Godzilla is not communicating with anybody. He's not learning sign language,

756
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: He's not gonna express his emotions. He is just gonna

757
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: be Godzilla the way he is. So I think that

758
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: leads into why Kong is featured more in the movie,

759
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: because if there is gonna be any kind of three

760
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: dimensional character, it is going to be Kong because he

761
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: is the most human, like, You're not really gonna get

762
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: that from Godzilla. And what that ended up causing for

763
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: me was too much Kong. I am much more a

764
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Godzilla fan, and the first one I wanted Godzilla to

765
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: win at all costs. I think he is the ultimate Titan.

766
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: But this one spends a majority of the time with Kong,

767
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: and it's different from how I felt in Godzilla Minus one,

768
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: where Godzilla was used a little bit more conservatively, but

769
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: it was also more calculated, because in Godzilla Minus one,

770
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: when Godzilla was on screen, it was important. He came in,

771
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: he destroyed something, he had a plan, and then he

772
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: went away. In a film like Godzilla and Kong a

773
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: New Empire, it's not really that same level of execution.

774
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: You have big monsters running around the entire time. For

775
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: the better half of the movie. It is all just

776
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: visual effects and animated characters moving along all this scenes.

777
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: So it's not like they're limiting the use of the Titans.

778
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: You're really getting a lot of them, but you don't

779
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: really get a whole lot of Godzilla. I think they

780
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: should switch it up in this case and give you

781
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: just more Godzilla. I want him hanging out. I do

782
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: like some of the scenes and shots in the movie

783
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: where he's like taking a nap inside of the Colosseum.

784
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: That was the most humanesque quality that we had for Godzilla.

785
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: He basically turned into a big cat. So I think

786
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: there is some kind of middle ground for these movies

787
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: to find of being something a little bit more sophisticated

788
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: like a Godzilla minus one, but also having the playfulness

789
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: like shit Godzilla, which kind of walks that line of

790
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: being a little bit campy but also has a little

791
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: bit of a sense of realism. So if they could

792
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: rain that in a little bit, I think these movies

793
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: could go from good to great. But again, I think

794
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: what they are really leaning into is the big dumb action.

795
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: It really feels more like a Transformers movie. It kind

796
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: of reminds me a little bit of Avatar with him

797
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: going to Hollow Earth, and then of course it has

798
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: that Planet of the Apes sci fi vibe to it,

799
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit of all of those and

800
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: then its own just mindless, big screen demanding action. So

801
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: my favorite parts were watching Godzilla everything that followed him.

802
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: I loved it. You see how he kind of evolves

803
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: into what you see in the trailer of him turning pink,

804
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: So I thought that part was cool. But to get

805
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: to that part, you're gonna have to get over some

806
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: of the introduction scenes, one in particular of Kong having

807
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: a toothache and them calling in a dentist to fix

808
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: his tooth. At that point I kind of realized, Oh,

809
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: this is the direction they're going with this movie. And

810
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: then it did spend about an hour ramping up into

811
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: the action, where it was really just a lot of

812
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: them hanging out exploring Hollow Earth, which visually looks really cool.

813
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of different places you can

814
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: explore there. Again, I think they should spend the entirety

815
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: of the movie down there, take the humans out of it.

816
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: We don't need them, and just give us Kong and

817
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: Godzilla finding and fighting all of these weird looking titans.

818
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: And the fact that this movie opened up to eighty

819
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: million dollars this past weekend is astonishing to me. Overall,

820
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: the five films so far, not including the new one,

821
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: have grossed almost two billion dollars at the box office

822
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: for just a monkey and a lizard fighting each other,

823
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: which proves to me that people still want to see

824
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: stuff like this. I still want to see stuff like

825
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: this because you're not gonna go in and watch a

826
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: movie that is gonna change your life, but you're gonna

827
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: see one big dumb animal fighting another big dumb animal.

828
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: Then you start to get emotionally involved with these big

829
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: dumb animals and you're like, why do I care so

830
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: much about this radioactive lizard? I don't know, but I

831
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: want them to win, so I'm still team Godzilla all

832
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: the way. I can't believe they put his name first

833
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: in the movie title and then gave him less screen time.

834
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: Dude is coming off an Oscar win and you give

835
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: them less screen time than Kong. Unbelievable. Other than that,

836
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a really fun time at the movies again.

837
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: Shut off your brain, just go in to watch something mindless, dumb,

838
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: big fun action. I give Godzilla and Kong a new

839
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: empire three point five out of five atomic breaths. I said, breaths,

840
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: not breasts. Thank you.

841
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie.

842
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: Mike Traylor Paul even speaking about revivals and reboots, and

843
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: that is what we have coming our way in theaters

844
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: on June seventh. It is the fourth film and the

845
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: Bad Boys franchise, Bad Boys, Ride or Die. My first

846
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: issue with this movie is the title, because they called

847
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: Part three Bad Boys for Life, so missed opportunity there.

848
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: This one should have been Bad Boys the number four Life.

849
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: I think that would have been perfect. Maybe they weren't

850
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: anticipating making another movie after the one that came out

851
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, which was one of the last movies

852
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: I saw in theaters, because when I was looking back

853
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: at all the movies in the Bad Boys franchise and

854
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: seeing that this one came out in twenty twenty, I

855
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 1: was like, how did it come out in twenty twenty

856
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: if I saw it in theaters? But it came out

857
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: at the start of the year in January and actually

858
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: had a really good box office run, which we'll get

859
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: into some of the numbers that this franchise has put

860
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: up here in a bit. But man, it should have

861
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: been called Bad Boys for Life. Maybe that's just me anyway.

862
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: This one takes place where the last one left off.

863
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are trying to clear the

864
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: name of their PD captain Howard. He has said to

865
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: have been working with some drug cartels. They know that's

866
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: not the truth, but it looks like the evil plan

867
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: here is to drag their captain's name through the mud

868
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: and in turn get them into some hot water, they

869
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,959
Speaker 1: become fugitives and go on the run. So it turns

870
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: into them trying to clear their own name. So before

871
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: I get into more about bad Boys, Ride or Die,

872
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the trailer. He's texting

873
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: us from.

874
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: The other side. No, he's not Marcus.

875
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: If you're seeing this, I'm probably dead.

876
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 2: I don't know how high up this fuck.

877
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: Don't trust anybody.

878
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: You're my bad boy. They're being set. Are y'all still

879
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: in our clothes? Just because we've black book at your shirt?

880
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you sing us little Reba songs playing your

881
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: favorite I'm a woman, I'm a strong Black Christian. What

882
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: you gonna do? What's you gonna I ain't know?

883
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 3: Ribasal It's from her mixtape.

884
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: I actually thought that moment there was pretty funny. When

885
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: it comes to comedy action movies, Bad Boys as a

886
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: whole are in the top five of the franchises that

887
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: come to mind. Will Smith's career has taken a big hit,

888
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: no pun intended, since the oscar incident where he slapped

889
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: Chris Rock. The thing about reputations is they are so finicky.

890
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Oftentimes an actor is one bad movie away from audiences

891
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: turning on them. That is how hard it is to

892
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: maintain a good reputation, and with Will Smith coming back

893
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: from that incident, it's been a struggle for him. And

894
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: let's not forget that he won that night for Best Actor.

895
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: Usually when an actor wins that award, their career goes

896
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: on a skyrocket trajectory. Even for somebody as established as

897
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: Will Smith, who had been wanting to win that Oscar

898
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: for a very long time, his career has had quite

899
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: the opposite effect. He put out Emancipation, which was one

900
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: of his best, more dramatic roles, that still didn't get

901
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: him on the map. So maybe doing another Bad Boys

902
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: movie is the best step for him right now. But

903
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: he even just shut down his charity because of lack

904
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: of donations, so it is a hard thing to come

905
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: back from. I feel like one good movie could put

906
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: people back in positive spirits when it comes to Will Smith.

907
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: Aside from him, I think the real star of these

908
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: movies is Martin Lawrence. He is so underrated and underappreciated

909
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: as a comedic actor. Great stand Up also had a

910
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: great show in the nineties. Martin was a show I

911
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: would watch all the time, and he is translated from

912
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: TV to film really well. Blue Streak is one of

913
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: my favorite nineties comedy action movies of all time, and

914
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: in this trailer you see him being the real comic relief,

915
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: which he has been in the Bad Boys movies, but

916
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: they're just scene in particular where he's dancing on the

917
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: roof in a hospital gown showing off his trunk, and

918
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: I just think Man Lawrence has really just carried the

919
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: comedy franchise as a whole, and these movies always have

920
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: a lot of that, a lot of comedy, a lot

921
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: of great action chase scenes, explosions. Michael Bay did the

922
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: first one and the second one wasn't involved in the

923
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: third one isn't involved in this one, but it still

924
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: has that Michael Bay look to it, that almost orange

925
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: just tint those real low action, defying angles when it

926
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: comes to the car chase scenes, and you know it's

927
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: going to be loaded up with explosions, a lot of

928
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: great cars. These movies now are essentially superhero movies in

929
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: disguise because Martin Lawrence and Will Smith are essentially bulletproof

930
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: and the bad guys just can't seem to take them down,

931
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: so they are superheroes. They may not be running around

932
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: in tights and capes, but essentially it's so ridiculous and

933
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: the action is so overtop that these are superhero movies.

934
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: The thing about making an action movie like this at

935
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: their age, which they were much younger back in the

936
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: nineties in the first one, is that you're gonna have

937
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: to make even more old guy jokes, which was kind

938
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: of the whole thing and the premise behind Bad Boys

939
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: for Life. It was them older talking about ointments and

940
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: their body not being what it used to be. It

941
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: looks like in this trailer they are ramping that up

942
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: even a little bit more. Seems to me that this

943
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: one is leaning in even more to the R rating.

944
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: There was so much profanity in this trailer, and it

945
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: looks like they are even ramping up the violence a

946
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: little bit. But on top of that, it looks like

947
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: they are also stepping up the action. There's a sequence

948
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: in this trailer where they are in a helicopter. It

949
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: appears to be the point in the movie where they

950
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: discover that they are being set up and then the

951
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: helicopter goes down. That scene actually looks pretty legit, and

952
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: when it comes to the money making factor of this franchise,

953
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: it starts to make a lot of sense of why

954
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: they are doing another movie. These movies have been all

955
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: successful at the box office. The first one, back in

956
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, made one hundred and forty one million

957
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: dollars and they were each only paid about two million

958
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: dollars each to star in that movie. Bad Boys Two

959
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand and three and made two

960
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three million dollars. Bad Boys for Life

961
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: came out back in twenty twenty in January and made

962
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty five million dollars at the box office,

963
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: which was astonishing to me, and given what happened in

964
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: the later half of twenty twenty and everything shutting down

965
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: in March, it went on to be one of the

966
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: highest grossing movies of that year and overall, when it

967
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: comes to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, Will Smith has

968
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: made thirty nine million dollars for all three movies. Martin

969
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: Lawrence has made thirty two million dollars overall, a little

970
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: bit less than Will Smith. He can negotiate for a

971
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: lot more because his name is first up on the billing.

972
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: So far, it hasn't been reported exactly what they were

973
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: making for this one. I would assume in the twenty

974
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: to twenty five million dollar range to get them back

975
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: for a fourth movie. Will Smith would probably be on

976
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: the twenty five. I could see Martin Lawrence taking twenty

977
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: even nineteen million dollars. That seems to be the differential

978
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: between the two actors, although I think they should get

979
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: paid equally, because I'm going for Martin Lawrence just as

980
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: much as I'm going for Will Smith, if not more.

981
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: And I'm quite surprised because I thought I would think

982
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: that this movie would be kind of cash gravy. I

983
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: didn't think I would want to see it after watching

984
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: this trailer. I've been seeing them talk about it, but

985
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: it always just feels like one of those franchises of

986
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: them just trying to get back to those glory days

987
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: of Part one in Part two. But after watching the

988
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: trailer and seeing some of the comedy and seeing some

989
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 1: of the action, which I remember having a good time

990
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: going to see Bad Boys Part three in theaters, I

991
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: didn't think I would even be interested in wanting to

992
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: see this movie. But it's coming out in June, so

993
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: it also has that big summer blockbuster effect too. Which

994
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: I love. My favorite time of the year is summer

995
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: blockbuster season, and I think this movie is going to

996
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: have big action flick this summer written all over it. It

997
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: comes down to do audiences really want this at this point?

998
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: Because as much money as Part three made, I don't

999
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: know if that audience is still as passionate and rabid

1000
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: for another installment just four years after, Because if you

1001
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: look at these other movies, they are spaced out, way,

1002
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: way further out. Even between Part one and Part two

1003
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: that was eight years and then it was seventeen years

1004
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: later that we got Part three, and now just four

1005
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: years later we get Part four. So a big part

1006
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: of three coming out in twenty twenty was that it

1007
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: had been so long and now it was them older,

1008
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: and there was that running joke going on that I

1009
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: just think four years after isn't a significant amount of

1010
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 1: time for it to dominate as much as it did

1011
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: four years ago. And to be quite honest, between twenty

1012
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty twenty four feels like an eternity, but

1013
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: it also feels like no time has passed whatsoever. So

1014
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: if you would have asked me when that movie came out,

1015
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: you could have told me two years ago, and it

1016
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: would have made sense to me. So I don't think

1017
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: it's gonna meet those same box office expectations that it did.

1018
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't think this one will hit that four hundred

1019
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: and twenty five million dollar mark. I honestly think for

1020
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: this one, it's gonna be really hard for it to

1021
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: even get to two hundred and fifty million dollars, will

1022
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: even be hard just to get to two hundred, to

1023
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: be honest. But to me, this still looks like a

1024
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: fun time at the movie So I will definitely be

1025
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: going to check this one out and see how it

1026
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: ranks up with the other three films. Again. That is

1027
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: coming out in theaters this summer on June seventh.

1028
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: At that was this week's edition of Movie by Framer

1029
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 3: par Ken.

1030
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: That is going to do it for another episode here

1031
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta get

1032
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: my listeners shout out of the week. Do this every

1033
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: single week to a listener who tags me in your

1034
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 1: Instagram story, sends me an email, moviemke d at gmail

1035
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: dot com, comments on my Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, all those things.

1036
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: You can always find the links to all my social

1037
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: media in the episode notes. But this week, we are

1038
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: going over to Instagram and I posted a real last

1039
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: week from the Obscure Movie Quote Game, and I really

1040
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: love seeing how many you all got right. I think overall,

1041
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: in the real I posted three was probably the most

1042
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: common answer of how many people got right. There was

1043
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: really only one person that got zero out of five,

1044
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 1: but also only one person who got five out of five,

1045
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: And that is this week's listener shout out of the week.

1046
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: Pd Beats on Instagram said five out of five too easy.

1047
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: I did not think those were too easy. They were

1048
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: really obscure. The last one is so quick that you

1049
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: really have to be dialed in to get that one.

1050
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: So pd Beats, you are this week's listener shout out

1051
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: of the week. After going five for five on the

1052
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,719
