1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: Quite the flick with Bedo jade Ah. Then you know, 2 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: the work from home thing hasn't actually been mandated yet, mate, 3 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, reviewing from home it could be a new thing. 4 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: It's just is just hard to when you have to 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: actually get to a cinema to see the movies. But look, 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: well we'll do this as best we can. I'll save 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: a bit of money on petrol. And the parents talking 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: about saving money, you're probably looking ahead to the school holidays. 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you've canceled your trip down south for Easter because 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: you don't want to pay for the diesel and your 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: new land Cruiser, and so going to this going to 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: the cinemas is maybe a good fallback. You've kids something 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: to do. They don't just sit around the house for 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: two weeks thinking about how miserable they are because the 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: school holidays trip has been ruined. And so this is 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: the time of year when you start to get a 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: lot of kids movies hitting the cinemas, and Pixar has 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: delivered with the new animal centric movie called Hoppers, right yep, yep, 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: And so you think of the hoppers Hoppers. So it 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: comes at a time when the studio Picksar probably has 21 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: they had a bit of a dry spell like Once 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: upon a Time, This is a film, This is a film. 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: They were prolific. They had so many hits. They won 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: twenty three Academy Awards. The studio has made over seventeen 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: billion dollars at the box office. And you're talking about 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: franchises like Toy, Story of the Finding, Nemo, the Incredibles, 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, these absolute classics. But more recently, you know, 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: other than Inside Out Too, which was a huge, huge hit, 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, films like Luca Turning, Red Elio and onward 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: just haven't really made much of an impact of the 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: box office. Some of them have been pretty good, but 32 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: they just haven't made any money. And so they're hoping 33 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: that Hoppers can turn that around a little bit. Certainly, 34 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: it's already opened in North America and it's made more 35 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: money than the last couple of films in their entire 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: kind of global theatrical run. So now it's opening globally, 37 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: including in Australia, and so they've got high hopes for it. 38 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: It's basically a tale of this young woman and her 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,559 Speaker 1: mission to save this forest glade from destruction by developers 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: who want to build a freeway through it, and she 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: does this by down uploading her consciousness into an artificial 42 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: beaver body sounds a beaver exactly. Well, you might be thinking, 43 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: you might be thinking, hang on a minute, this is 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: a bit like Avatar, but beaver's and at one point, 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: and at one point a character in the film actually said, no, 46 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: it's nothing like Avatar. It's the sort of it's a 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: sort of method joke that will appeal to the parents 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: in the cinema, and so as you can imagine a 49 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: human in a beaver body having these sort of conversations 50 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: about how to fight back against the humans with the 51 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: beaver king. There's a lot of avenues here for humor 52 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: along the way. And what I love about it is, 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, it seems as though a lot of Pixar 54 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: movies and a lot of animated movies seem to be 55 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: message films, you know, like they're trying to teach you 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: something about life or aging or death or you know, 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: and you just kind of get a bit over it 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: after a while, Like, if you want to have your 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: head shrunk, you go see a therapist. If you just 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: want to be entertained for ninety minutes, just give me 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: an animated film. It's fun and so Hoppers and Hoppers 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: is definitely old school in that respect. It's a fun movie. 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of slapstick humor. It's pretty silly at times, 64 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: but you kind of appreciate that at the moment that's 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: what you want. It's exactly what you want. But the irony, 66 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: of course is that this is a big element of 67 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: this film is protesting the establishment and arriving in America 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: at a time when we know all the stuff around 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: ice is very, very challenging. It's actually, accidentally is quite poltical, 70 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: but you don't have to pay attention to that because 71 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of beavers doing stupid things. The kids 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: will have no The kids will have no idea about 73 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: any of that. James James Franco plays megla maniacal butterfly king, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: which is hilarious. John John Hamm plays the mayor of Beaverton. 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Who is beaver? Who is the one behind that? Yeah? 76 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Who is the one behind the development? He's fantastic as well. 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: It's a good laugh. All right, Well, how many beaver's 78 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: doing silly things? Are you giving us three and a 79 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: half beavers? Wow, that's pretty good score. But I've never 80 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: thought I'd say not miscontext. Anyway, Well, we'll talk to 81 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: you next week. We'll see what word we can get 82 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: out of you next week.
