1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Sprite the flick with Bedow Shade.

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: Colleen Hoover movie that was somewhat overshadowed by Shenanigan, with

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Blake Lively and Justin Baljoni, Am I Am, I run.

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: You are right. There was some unpleasantness when it came

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: to It Ends with Us like it's You would even

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: forget that it was a movie because it really became

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: more renowned for this acrimonious, bitter legal fight just about.

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Justin Baldoni Blake Lively were co stars. He was the director.

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: She accused him of improprietary impropriety on the set. He

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: accused her of trying to undermine him, wanting, you know,

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: last cut privileges on the editing. It went to court,

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: it went out of court, back to court. It really

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: is still dragging on now. So there's a good movie

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: in the making of the movie, absolutely, and I would

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: say that that particular documentary would be better than the

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: actual movie itself. It Ends with Us was terrible. It

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: was real thinking, one of my worst movies of that

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: year that came out twenty twenty four. At twenty twenty five. Anyway,

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: So Colleen Hoover is back. She's a very beloved author

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: of can We Say Airport Novels? Yeah, yeah, we're not talking.

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: We're not talking, you know, sort of fine literature. It's

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: not that sort of books. They're romance books, but they're very,

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: very popular. She sold, Oh yeah, she sold a lot

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: of copies, and interestingly in Ends with Us, she had

25
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. She sold the rights to

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the book and then away they went with it with

27
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: Reminders of Him, the new movie based on one of

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: her books. She's been very involved from the start. I

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: think she's looked at what happened last time. I thought

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: maybe I need to keep involved. So she's actually written

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: the script. It stays a lot closer to what she

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: intended with the books, and it's basically about this woman

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: who goes back to the small town she grew up

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: in and had to leave when she was sent down

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: on the river to jail for manslaughter for this car

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: accident where she was the driver and her lover, father

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: of her baby, was killed. In this accident. She was

38
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: she was duy drunk behind the wheel, and then she

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: was pregnant at the time, so she gave birth to

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: a baby in prison. The baby was removed from her

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: custody and given to the boyfriend's parents in this small town.

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: So she gets out of jail six years later, goes

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: back to the town wants to reunite with her a

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 1: child that she's never really met. The parents obviously don't

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: want to have a bar of it, because they very

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: much blame he killed our son, killed our son exactly exactly.

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: And the dude who died, best mate lives across the

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: road from the parents. They love him. He's basically become

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: the de facto father. I don't know that we've said

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the name of the movie yet we did, and so

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Michah Munroe. So if you've seen the film Long Legs,

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: that terror buying horror movie with Nick Cage, she that

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: she was excellent in that. So she plays Kenna, the

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: woman who comes back to this small towns who's been

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: done for manslaughter and has a lot of trauma around that.

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: As you would expect, she blames herself. So as much

57
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: as the parents might blame her, she also blames herself.

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: So she has guilt around that. She doesn't really believe

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: that she's even worthy to have this relationship with the child.

60
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: She's not sure how to go about reconnecting, and then

61
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the dude who lives across the road ledg Up played

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: by Tyrek Withers, who was in that reboot of I

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Know What You Did last summer. He's an uppercoming actor.

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: He's going to be her name to watch for sure.

65
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: So he also hates her for killing his best mate.

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a romance. So where the romance?

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Where the trailer? And so he comes to, I guess

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: feel pity for her because he sees that she genuinely

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: wants to have a relationship with her child. Probably it's

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: fair enough too, she's the mom. And so that pity,

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, turns into something a little bit more and

72
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: and so the film follows that journey and you would think, okay,

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: this sounds very cheesy, very melodramatic. Surprisingly it's it's actually

74
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: pretty restrained in how they do it. They don't lay

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: it on too thick. Michael Munroe is really very engaging,

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: and Tyrek Withers in that role is very enigmatic, like

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: he's a very interesting actor to watch. And there's the

78
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: great Bradley Whitford you might remember was the chief of

79
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: staff from the West Wing. Him, he's the he's the granddad,

80
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: so he's the dead guy's dad.

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: He's fantastic and laves exactly.

82
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: So it's a good cast. Well formed. She's the grandma,

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: she's the grandmother's Yeah, I thought exactly the same as

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: she the grandma. But then you're like old, all right.

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Better than the last one, yeah, way better than the

86
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: last one. Like the last one was toxic and ridiculus.

87
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: This one, you know, probably it's kind of like a

88
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: middle of the road midday movie, you.

89
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: Know, Okay, if you like this, it's like a bit hallmarky. Yeah,

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: how many hallmarks you're giving it?

91
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's actually pretty tough. Say two point seventy

92
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: five good, two and three. Course you can round it

93
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 1: up to three if you like this sort of movie.

94
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: If you've got nothing to do one afternoon, it's the

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: way to spend. And if you're holloing, who the fan?

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: You dig it? Yeah, and don't have a box of

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Jaffers with it, because that'll be too much sugar in

98
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: one go.

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: And don't see anybody after you see it who learns

100
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: anything from the two saccharin
