In this episode, Mike talks about Disney’s 100-disc limited edition set that will be available next month. The $1,500 dollar box set features 100 animated films from Disney and shares which of the 100 films he would keep and which should be locked away forever. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about the new horror film The Nun II. His thoughts on if it’s better than the original, where it ranks in the Conjuring universe, and how horror is quietly crushing at the box office. In the Trailer Park, Mike takes a look at the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom trailer and gives his thoughts on the return of Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, the aquatic superhero and King of Atlantis.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike, and today I want to
break down Disney's one hundredth anniversary film collection. I'm going
to give you the ten films I would save out
of this entire collection and the five I would immediately
set on fire. In the movie review, I'll be talking
about the new horror movie The None two and my
experience seeing that movie in theaters and in the trailer park.
(00:22):
DC has given us the first look at Aquaman and
the Lost Kingdom. I honestly thought maybe this movie wouldn't
come out at this point, but it actually looks pretty good.
Thank you for being here, thank you for listening every
single week. Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew.
And now let's talk movies.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,
one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like
never before in a movie podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A man with so much movie knowledge. He's basically like
a walking IMTB with glasses. From the Nashville Podcast Network.
This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Disney wants all of our money.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That mouse is just sniffing around, wanting to take any
single dollar we just leave laying around, because not only
do we pay for a Disney Plus subscription, do we
pay money to go see Disney movies in theaters, go
to the parks, and do all these things. Now they
are releasing a one hundred disc set to celebrate their
hundred years of animation, and this thing looks massive. I
(01:26):
don't know, honestly where I would put one hundred discs
in my house. If you get a look at this
thing online, it's these big storage things that essentially look
like what they used to store film reels on back
in the day. It's really nice looking. It's a very
unique set. But I wonder what exactly would you do
with one hundred discs. But that is what Disney does.
They create things that are collectible and that are unique,
(01:49):
and also that only come out for a very limited time.
So I feel like this would be cool to own
a little piece of Disney history. And I do enjoy
collecting some physical media when it comes to any kind.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Of VHS or Blu ray or DVD.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
There's just something about being able to hold a physical
product sometimes, But for me, I only like to collect
things that have a very specific memory attached. To it,
or just something that just feels very significant in film history.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go
through this entire list and tell you the ten films
I would actually save from this Disney Vault and the
(02:25):
five that I would immediately just set on fire because
I don't think they're any good at all. And I'll
also give you some honorable mentions. But that is exactly
what this is. The Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection, one
hundred Years of Animation. The company started back in nineteen
twenty three, and this kind of just reminds me of
the Disney Vault from back in the day, where Disney
would only put out their classic movies at very specific times,
(02:47):
and they would go out into the stores release these movies,
and then once they were sold out or once they
decided it was time to close the vault back again,
they would be gone forever and you couldn't buy them
again until another anniversary.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
They were really strict about this.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They had people who would actually go to the stores
to make sure they were off the shelves and were
no longer selling them when they decided it was time
to lock them away. So it created this kind of
scarcity and exclusivity and made you, if you wanted to
own that movie, go out into the store and buy
it while you could. I remember these commercials and thinking,
oh man, they're finally letting Pokehontas out of the Disney Vault.
(03:24):
We gotta go get a copy. But now it's not
really a thing because everything is on Disney Plus and
if you want to go watch Pocahontas or Mulan, that's
all you really have to do. So essentially, a streaming
service has become the Disney Vault for us, So it
almost feels like they are giving us our own Disney
Vault for the low low price of fifteen hundred dollars.
(03:45):
And what you get inside of this collection, again, this
is not a sponsored thing. I just saw it online
and thought, wow, that's kind of ridiculous, but I gotta
talk about this. You get one hundred animated films from there,
one hundred years of animating that include Disney, Walt, Disney
Animation Studios, and also Pixar movies. They're all put together
in these self standing three volume sets that all have
(04:06):
their own storybook. A limited number of these are going
up for pre order today or depending on when you're
listening to this on September eighteenth on walmart dot com. Yes,
Walmart is doing the pre order for these, which if
you have any experience doing any kind of pre order
from Walmart, it is always chaos.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But not only do.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You get one hundred discs, you also get a collectible
crystal Mickey ears hat with an exclusive Disney one hundred
engraving on it. So if you are just a huge
Disney fan, which I probably would have been calling myself
a big Disney fan ten years ago, the last decade
of Disney hasn't really sparked that same kind of imagination
for me. But I'm also in my thirties now, so
(04:46):
a lot of these movies just aren't really being marketed
towards me anymore. So what I want to do on
this episode is go through all one hundred movies. We'll
move through them pretty quick, but I want to tell
you which ten I would keep, which five I would
immediately burn. And the reason I would burn them is
because I think they should have never been made, because
they don't really represent Disney, and because they were so forgettable.
(05:08):
I want to erase them from my memory because they
tarnished the Disney name. So we are going to open
up the Disney vaults and take a look inside. Oh man,
there's so many things in here. Wow, what a at all?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I can hear my echo echo.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
All right, We're in the Disney vault and the first
movie in this hundred discollection is the first animated Disney
movie ever from nineteen thirty seven, Snow White in the
Seven Doors. I actually think this is a really great movie,
and it's surprising to me that this movie was made
in nineteen thirty seven, given the sophisticated quality of the animation,
and this was back when they were hand drawing every
(05:45):
single frame, every single movement was hand drawn, essentially making
like a big flip book. That's how they would make
these movies and then take photos of those animations and
make it all come together, come to life. Starting off
in nineteen thirty seven with the first film in this collection.
It's actually one that maxsed the vault. For me because
of the history, because of the characters, and because of
(06:09):
the legacy of this movie. I think it is a
Disney classic and one of the first Disney movies I
remember watching and crazy to me that this movie is
almost one hundred years old coming out in nineteen thirty seven,
So that is an easy entry for me.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
So we have one down. We'll run through this list.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
From nineteen forty you have Pinocchio from nineteen forty. You
also have Fantasia. That's an almost for me, given that
it was made in nineteen forty. Is so experimental and
so out there. I wish Disney made more movies like
Fantasia and took more animation risks like they did back
in nineteen forty. What an amazing movie that I believe
(06:45):
was ahead of its time. But moving down the list,
we have Dumbo from nineteen forty one. That's not going
in there. Bamby from nineteen forty two. Get that movie
out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's sad.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's a classic, But no, I don't need that movie
on my life anymore. Yes, Sa Lulos Amigos from forty three,
Three Caballeros from nineteen forty five. No, no, we're not
in a good era right now. Make my music from
forty six, Nah, fun, fancy and free from forty seven.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They would hard on the musicals during this time. Melody
Time from forty eight, The Adventures of Ichabod, and mister
Toad from forty nine. Nah ooh. But then we get
to number twelve from nineteen fifty Cinderella, another Disney classic
with one of the best Disney princesses of all time.
You also have a great supporting cast in Cinderella and
a lot of great songs. I have a lot of
(07:31):
great memories with this movie, and this is a movie
that I feel like really represents what Disney was trying
to do to establish themselves as being the great storytellers
that they are.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
This movie has everything.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It has fantasy, it has a lesson, it has great animation,
especially for the fifties. So with the twelfth movie on
the list, we have our second entry in my vault,
going with Cinderella from nineteen fifty. Alright, moving down the list,
Alison Wonderland from fifty one. We're getting into some pretty
good territory here. I love that one, just not enough
(08:07):
to put it into my collection. That as my third pick.
After that, we have number fourteen from nineteen fifty three,
Peter pan Oh. I love this movie. One of my
favorite movies to watch on VHS. I just feel like
it adds to this level of warm to this movie.
A classic Tale, one of the best Disney characters of
all time that I believe even transcends Disney. I don't
(08:29):
immediately think Disney when I think Peter Pan. Ooh, I
think we're gonna have to have another one right here.
So the third movie in the vault in my collection,
I'm going with Peter Pan. I need this movie on
my life, all right. Moving on down the list now,
the fifteenth disc is Lady in the Tramp from fifty five. Nah.
I never really loved that movie, didn't like the remake,
(08:51):
So neither of those are gonna make my list. Sleeping
Beauty from fifty nine, hah nah, I'm good there. One
hundred and one Dalmatians a great movie, great enough to
enter my top ten. So leave that one in nineteen
sixty one, The Sword in the Stone from sixty three,
I'm good. Jungle Book from sixty seven, a great movie,
was just never one of my favorites, so we're not
(09:12):
adding that one. The Aristocrats from nineteen seventy. We get
a little bit more experimental in the Disney storytelling here.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I never really liked that movie.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I remember always seeing the commercials for that one, as
like commercials inside other Disney movies and thinking what did
they do there?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I'm good without that one.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You have Robin Hood from seventy three, The Many Adventures
of Winning the Pooh in nineteen seventy seven, I'm good here,
The Rescuers from seventy seven, Fox and the Hound from
eighty one, The Black Cauldron from eighty five, The Great
Mouse Detective from nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We have entered the xerox era.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Here for Disney, which is often criticized as being one
of their laziest eras when they were reusing backgrounds, reusing characters,
and a lot of people say the animation during this
time was just very lifeless. But at twenty seven, even
though it's in the xerox era and some people would say,
is not a great Disney movie. I have one that
I'm adding into the vault as our fourth pick. I'm
(10:09):
going from the twenty seventh disc in this collection. Oliver
and Company from nineteen eighty eight has a great soundtrack,
a movie that hits me on an emotional level.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I love this one.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let's throw it in the vault as our fourth pick.
All right, moving on down the list. Right after that
from nineteen eighty nine is the twenty eighth disc, we
have The Little Mermaid. It's a really good one at
the classic, but I'm not putting it in my collection.
I'm just not The twenty ninth disc The Rescuers down
Under from nineteen ninety I actually like that one.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Better than The Rescuers.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I watched that movie a lot as a kid, but
still not enough to put it on in my list.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Here.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The thirtieth disc is The Beauty in the Beast from
ninety one. Okay, we are entering the Renaissance era here.
Some really great movie is going to have to make
some really tough decisions here. Beauty in the Beast does
not make my list though. At thirty one we have
Aladdin from ninety two. I was just never that big
of an Alatin fan. There were just something about that
movie that just didn't really call to me. A lot
(11:06):
of people love that movie, not making my list. At
number thirty two we have Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before
Christmas from ninety three.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm good there.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Then Disc thirty three, The Lion King from nineteen ninety four.
That is an easy one. Do I need to say
more about that one? That is our fifth one, so
five entries down, only five spots remain in the disc.
Right after that at Disc thirty four is a Goofy
movie from nineteen ninety five. It's a classic for me,
(11:35):
even though I feel this one still gets overlooked over
and over again, and it's a cult following that I
feel people appreciate more now than when it came out
in ninety five. You know, we are putting this movie
on my list. Give me a Goofy movie from nineteen
ninety five. All right, we have six down now, run
(11:55):
out of space here Pocahontas from ninety five. I'm good.
Right after that though, also in ninety five, what a
great year at Disney, we have Toy Story as disc
number thirty six, the best Pixar movie of all time,
the first computer generated Pixar movie. This movie is making
the list. Oh my gosh, we have seven down. I'm
(12:17):
gonna have to start being picky here, but we're in
a great era. This is my childhood right here. This
thirty seven. James and the Giant Peach from ninety six.
Keep going until we find a really great one, though.
The Hunchback of Order Don from ninety six also a
great one. So many great pizza Hut Toys. Here in
ninety seven we have Hercules. Ooh, that is an almost
that is a great movie. Then we have Mulan at
(12:39):
disc forty A Bugs Life at Disc forty one from
ninety eight. I feel like this movie really established Pixar
because they made their name known with Toy Story, but
I feel like A Bugs Life is the one that
really put them on the map and really started to
set them aside. A really important film for me too.
I learned a lot from A Bugs Life. So our
(13:00):
eighth pick, I'm going with A Bugs Life. Only two
spots remain. And then we have Tarzan at disc forty two,
which has one of the best Disney soundtracks.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh, this one's close.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I just feel like Tarzan, the character isn't so much Disney,
so I just can't put Tarzan on the list. At
forty three we have Toy Story two. I'm good with
one Toy Story. And number forty four we have Fantasia
two thousand. Then we have the Tigger movie, and then
we have Dinosaur. Dinosaur should not even be in this collection.
(13:36):
This is gonna be my first one that I want
to set on fire. Yeah, we are setting Dinosaur from
two thousand on Fire.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Let's watch it burn. This movie was terrible.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh my gosh, So we have one on fire. Now,
moving on down our list, we are looking for our
ninth film, The Emperor's New grou from two thousand. We
enter into two thousands here where I feel like Disney
was in a transition from the Renaissance to modern Disney
at the time, still in the peak of my childhood.
(14:09):
A great movie, but I'm not putting it on the list.
Atlantis The Lost Empire, after that, Monsters Ink at disc
forty nine, Nah, not putting it in there. Return to
Neverland from two thousand and two. Nah, I'm good. At
number fifty one from two thousand and two, Lelo and Stitch,
one of my favorite movies of all time and my
(14:33):
favorite Disney movie.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Of all times. Such a thrill character, so you already
know this. Fifty one is making my collection.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Taking the ninth spot Leelo and Stitch from two thousand
and two.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
We only have one left here.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We may not make it to the twenty tens, y'all,
because at number fifty two we have Treasure Planet. Nah.
Fifty three we have The Jungle Book. Two fifty four
we have Piglets big movie. I don't really classify any
of the Winnie the Pooh movies to be Disney movies.
And then at fifty five from two thousand and three,
we have Finding Nemo. This could quite honestly be the
(15:12):
Disney Pixar movie I've seen the most in my lifetime
because I watched it so much in school, and this
is the life I feel like Disney needed in the
two thousands. If you look at everything that came out
before this, I feel like this was the iconic movie
of the two thousands.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
So we got to put it on the list.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I've seen it so many times I couldn't imagine never
watching this movie again at least once. So taking the
final spot in our list at number ten, we didn't
even make it to the twenty tens. We gotta go
with Finding Nemo. I feel like that is a pretty
great list, but we will continue through the rest of
this collection to find the four more we are going
(15:49):
to burn. At number fifty six we have Brother Bear
from two thousand and three, so we clearly see we
are in the era that Pixar was outshining Disney. Disney
was still holding onto that classic animation and shifting into
three D, and the stories here with the Disney movies
just aren't very great. So even if I had the
space brother Bear would not make it. It's not burn
(16:11):
worthy though, because then we get to disc fifty seven
Home on the Range. What a forgettable Disney movie? What
were they thinking? This one needs to go away forever.
We're setting it on fire. Yeah, that is our second
one that we are throwing into the flames. At fifty eight, ooh,
could have made my list. The Incredibles from two thousand
and four. At fifty nine, Poo's hef a lump movie.
(16:35):
I honestly don't even really remember this movie. I just again,
I don't really see Whinnie the poo is being like
a Disney character. They just happened to own them. At
number sixty, Chicken Little from two thousand and five. That's
a close burner. This was Disney just trying to put
out a movie. It looks like then at sixty one
we have cars from two thousand and six. I feel
like I was also growing up a little bit during
(16:55):
this time. Two thousand and six. Yeah, I mean I
was fifteen, so I feel like maybe I got a
little bit away from liking Disney movies at this time,
and I thought, maybe, ah, these are just for kids.
At sixty two we have Meet the Robinsons. At sixty
three we have Ratitituey, a great movie from two thousand
and seven, one of the greatest years of film. Sixty
four walle E from two thousand and eight is a
(17:16):
movie that you either haiti love I love that one. Oh,
I wish you had the space for that one. Sixty
five we have Kinkerbell from two thousand and eight. At
sixty six we have Bolt from two thousand and eight,
another really forgettable Disney movie. I do remember watching this
one and thinking, this doesn't even feel like a Disney movie,
and for that reason, we're gonna set it on fire.
(17:41):
Extra flames on that one.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I can't believe they include.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That one in this collection either. Ooh, but then they
made it up. I didn't even mean to do that.
At sixty seven is up from two thousand and nine,
one of the only Disney movies I've seen twice in theaters.
At number sixty eight, The Princess and the Frog. Okay,
we're getting good here again. Sixty nine we have Toy
store Ie. That's a good movie and number seventy, we
have Tangled and number seventy one, we have Cars two.
(18:06):
At seventy two, we have Winnie the Pogle from twenty eleven.
Seventy three, we have Brave from twenty twelve. Seventy four.
We have franken Weenie from twenty twelve, a movie now
that I watch every single Halloween.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I love the.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Animation Frank and Weenie. At seventy five, we have Wrecket
Route from twenty twelve. At seventy six, we have Monsters
University from twenty thirteen. I hate that they made that movie.
Should have just made a wonner with Monsters Ink. That's
an almost burn because our fourth burn is gonna be
from twenty thirteen. The movie is Planes Awful, trying to
(18:39):
cash in on the whole, like, hey, let's make things
that aren't living living and give them feelings. Planes Planes
set it on fire, but then they made it up
after that from twenty thirteen, this seventy eight is Frozen.
Oh my gosh, I forgot they made a sequel to
Planes Fire and Rescue.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Do we set the both on fire?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Or does the flames from Planes one carry over to
Planes two. I'm just gonna burn one of these, they
don't deserve more flames. At number eighty is Big Hero
six from twenty fourteen. Eighty one is Inside Out. Ooh,
glad we saved our flames because at eighty two is
the worst Disney movie in my opinion, The Good Dinosaur
(19:21):
from twenty fifteen set it on fire.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Evil laugh here a.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Disney should be embarrassed of this movie. They should just
not make Disney dinosaur movies. Dinosaur movies are so epic
and cool looking, and somehow they made them boring. At
number eighty three, we have Zotopia. At number eighty four,
we have Finding Dory. At number eighty five, we have
Mowana that, oh, that could have made my list. I
(19:49):
love Mowana. At number eighty six, we have Cars three
that is an almost burner. We'll give it a little flame,
little flame, little flame for Cars three. Why did they
make that into a trilogy. Number eighty seven we have
Coco that's a definite almost And number eighty eight.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
In this collection we have The Incredibles.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Two eighty nine is wreck at Ralph Breaks the Internet,
ninety is Toy Story four ninety one is Frozen, two
ninety two is Onward ninety three is Soul, ninety four
is Raya in the Lost Dragon, this ninety five is Luca,
and we have ninety six Incanto ninety seven Turning Red.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We're almost there, folks.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
This ninety eight is light Year, and this ninety nine
is Strange World, and finally Disc one hundred is Elemental
from twenty twenty three. I actually think overall this is
a pretty solid collection. It would be cool to own
all of these movies and all the extras that come
with it. It's a very sleek design. Disney knows how
(20:46):
to package a product.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
But at fifteen hundred dollars, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I mean, it would make a great gift for the holidays,
But you have fifteen hundred dollars worth of discs sitting
on your shelf. I don't know about that, especially when
it's just so much easier to open up Disney Plus
and search out any movie you want. And I am
a stickler for quality, but I don't know how much
better having a movie on disc is really than the
(21:15):
streaming version. So, man, you had to be really hardcore
into Disney to get this list.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Or just be really rich.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So if you are really rich and going to buy
this tag me in your post and let me know
what it looks like, what it finally gets to you,
because I see the photos they have of it online,
But sometimes that doesn't always do it justice.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So there we go.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We made it through the one hundred disc collection. What
made our top ten to recap Snow White and the
Seven Dwarves, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Oliver and Company, The Lion King,
A Goofy movie, Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Lilo and
Stitch and Finding Nemo are all the movies.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I would say from this collection.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
If I could only save one out of all those,
even though Lelo and Stitch is my favorite, I could
only save one Disney movie from this collection, it would
be The Lion King. It's a classic, was probably my
favorite movie as a kid.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I would have to save The Lion King.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And the five movies that made the burn list Dinosaur,
Home on the Range, Bolt Planes, The Good Dinosaur. Those
are the five movies that we need to burn immediately.
And now it is time to close up the Disney vaults.
All right, come back, I give my review spoiler free
(22:31):
on the nun To two. And then in the trailer
Park we're talking about Aquaman. And the Lost Kingdom. Let's
get into it now. A spoiler free movie review the
None Tube. Quite possibly the least excited I've ever been
for a horror movie sequel, and quite honestly, I'm surprised
(22:51):
this movie has a part two because the story in
the first one was so paper thin and so boring
really throughout that I'm surprised they decided to give it
another run. For the nun but the first one did
have some box off his success. I think it's because
it is inside of that Conjuring universe and everything James
One has created. With all these characters from The Conjuring
(23:12):
and Annabel even like Yodanaw all these movies working together
as one, I feel like they thought they could make
some money on this movie as well. So what this
movie is about. It takes place four years after the
events of The Nune Part one. You're in nineteen fifty
six France. In this movie, a priest gets violently murdered.
You see in the trailer that he gets burned to death,
(23:32):
and then you have Sister Ireen returning to investigate, and
then Sister Irene goes face to face with evil again,
much like you would experience in any other possession exorcism
movie like this. So first impressions of this movie, I
always judge a horror movie based on the first twenty
minutes because those are so crucial to how I'm going
to feel throughout this entire movie. You always get that
opening sequence that has some kind of big kill. In
(23:55):
this case, you find out exactly what happens to the priest.
And I was so underway at that opening sequence that
I thought, oh man, they're gonna do it again. They're
gonna drag out this entire story, and there's not gonna
be anything scary, and it's gonna be a lot of talking,
and we're gonna eventually have this scene where they go
and find out the real mystery and then go rush
back and do all these things. Just seemed like a
(24:17):
big cliche to start out this movie, and even getting
into some of the characters, I felt like, oh man,
there's really gonna be nothing here to chew on.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
But after that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
First act, which was really kind of painfully slow, I
feel like this movie started to come into its own
right around that second act. The production on this movie
is very slick and very nicely produced, and I don't
always shout out to editing in movies, or makeup design,
or special effects or even stunt performers. But through all
(24:47):
the horror elements that really banked on that in this movie,
I thought, hey, they actually did a really good job here,
because a lot of it is in that presentation of
seeing something scary. The makeup and the vision effects on
the nun are a lot better in this movie. I
still don't think just the presence of her on screen
makes me scared in any way, so it's everything they
(25:08):
have to build around it that actually ends up working
in this movie. But the way I compare this movie
since it inside of the Conjuring universe, that first Conjuring
from twenty thirteen did such a great job of building
suspense and making you feel scared as the viewer. So
I compare all of these movies inside of this universe
to how that first one made me feel, which is
(25:30):
one of my favorite horror movies of all time. I
still don't think any movie has captured that same energy
as the first one and the story that James Wand
created in that initial Conjuring movie. They've all just been
kind of writing the coattails and writing the formula of
the conjuring, and this movie is a perfect example of
that because it is so reliant on the jump scares,
(25:54):
and I just feel like that is so cheap to
the viewer. I feel like, whenever you just have to
bank on when things out of the screen to scare us,
you really are doing that great of a job at
creating a horror movie and creating these moments that we're
going to look back and remember on as actually being
things that stood out from this movie.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
So that is.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Always what I look for.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But where this movie started to win me over is
they did a pretty good job at creating these characters
and getting you invested in these stories. You have a
relationship between one of the people that works at this
boarding school where they are investigating all these things that
are starting to happen, and he has a relationship with
one of the students. He helps her out, and some
(26:35):
of the other kids make fun of them for their relationship,
which this movie could have gone in a very weird direction,
but luckily, at the core of it, it was wholesome.
So I felt a little bit of an emotional connection
of wanting to see the best result possible for all
of these characters because they start to care about them.
And then I really found myself liking all the visuals
in this movie that were really good, and I would
(26:56):
almost describe them as like horror wholesome. I think about
my mom, who loves horror movies, but she doesn't like
any horror movies that are overly gruesome or just overly violent.
This one is like right there in the middle. Even
though this movie is rated R, I think if they
tweet just a couple of things, they probably could have
got a PG thirteen rating. But I know sometimes parents
(27:18):
wonder if movies are okay for their younger kids who
love horror movies. I actually think this one would be fine.
There's no nudity. I don't even think there's a whole
lot of swear words in this movie. So at the
core of this movie, I found it to be a
little bit wholesome. It feels very much Hollywood horror to me,
which over time I find myself enjoying parts of it
because even though I feel like Hollywood horror kind of
(27:41):
takes the fun out of it, It takes the creativity,
it takes the just overall rawness of horror movies and
kind of evaporates that all away to appeal to a
wider audience, which you do get is some great visual
effects and some great moments that you can only get
with a budget like that, which this movie costed thirty
eight million dollars to make, and you can really tell
(28:03):
they spent a lot of that on getting the visual
effects right. So I found myself really enjoying it, even
though nothing really stood out on its own. The third
act very much made up for that first act, which
was pretty boring overall, but it really got there in
the end. You can really tell where they spent the
money on for this movie, and it's surprisingly doing pretty
well for a horror movie that I feel like didn't
(28:25):
really have a whole lot of buzz around the sequel.
In its first ten days, it has made fifty six
point five million dollars at the box office, which is
thirty three percent less than the None Part one, but
again with no real buzz around it. Also with the
strike going on and the actors and director not being
able to promote this movie. I actually think that is
(28:46):
a pretty good number, especially considering that we are only
really just starting to de Bartes into the Halloween horror season,
only being halfway through September, So I think this one
has some life to it. I think if it can
make a little bit more money as we get closer
to Halloween, we're probably gonna get that Nun three and
get that full on non trilogy. I think Warner Brothers
(29:06):
will still invest in another Nun movie. I was looking
at some numbers recently that somebody just posted about Warner Brothers.
They have taken four big financial losses this year, with
Magic Mike's The Last Dance, Shazam, Fury of the Gods,
The Flash, and Blue Beetle both being their biggest losses
of the year, but they've also been really profitable with Barbie,
(29:29):
which is the highest grossing movie of the year. I
feel like with that movie alone, they're going to be
doing pretty well. But they also had some surprising hits
that made some money with Meg two, The Trench. The
Nuns still bringing in a pretty good amount of money,
like we've been talking about Create.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Three and Evil Dead Rise.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So I love the fact that two of those movies
are horror movies, which I feel are kind of like
the cash cow inside of Hollywood because you can spend
less money on them. Thirty eight million dollars in the
and scheme of things is nothing. When you're spending over
two hundred sometimes two fifty to make a superhero movie,
(30:06):
you spend you know, under forty million dollars and you
make double sometimes triple that.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I feel like that is the sweet spot.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But in order to really make money in horror, you
have to make things that stand out. You have to
make things that are original and unique. And that's where
you kind of hit it and strike it big because
you don't spend a whole lot of money, but everybody
loves it and wants to go see it, and then
you make it all back at the box office. But
you're really not gonna do that with a movie like
The Nun that for the most part is kind of
(30:36):
painting my numbers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But I feel like at the core of it.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
When I go into a horror movie, I just want
to be entertained. I just want to have some good
visuals that even though in this case they don't really
scare you, but they are frightening, Like I won't deny
them that It is a very creepy looking Nun, And
there are some other surprises in there that I thought, Hey,
this is actually pretty cool, and I think The only
(31:00):
real benefit of watching this movie on the big screen
is I had all my attention towards it, and also
just being inside a dark theater, you start to get
a little bit jumpy, You start to get a little
bit more anti than you would watching this movie at home.
Although I think the scariest part for me was at
one point where somebody just started walking on the side
of me and they kind of look ghostly because you're
(31:23):
in a completely dark theater. And also this movie is.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Just very dark overall on screen, so.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It's the most pitch black that I ever really see
the theater getting and to see just a little bit
of light in the corner, that's what freaked me out
more than anything that was on screen. So for the
nun To two, when it comes to the rating, I
would say going into this, I was expecting to give
it about a two point.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Five right in the middle, and it also kind of
left me wanting more.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I thought I was gonna go and see this movie
and not want to see a nun three. And I
won't say that I would be excited about a nun
To three, but I would definitely go watch it in
theaters again. So it went from that two point five
up to that three. And I've also just been thinking
about this movie a lot after watching it, so I
feel like it did leave a little bit of an
impression on me. And I think if you go watch
(32:11):
this for the pure entertainment value of just loving horror
movies and wanting to see something new in theaters, I
think it's a good time. And if, like me, you
have a mom who loves horror movies, I think they
would enjoy this too. So for the nun too, this
is surprising to me. I'm giving it a three point
five out of five goats, and you gotta watch the
movie to find out why it's goats.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's time to head down to movie Mike.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Trey, Lar Paul. We finally have it, and I've been
waiting for this.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
DC has given us the first look at Aquaman two,
better known as Aquaman and the Last Kingdom. I didn't
think this movie was going to see the light of
day after what happened with Blue Beatle and The Flash.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I didn't know if DC was ready to take another hit,
and honestly, I was expecting to hate this trailer because
I don't really love Aukaman. The character himself has always
felt a little bit cheesy to me, even going back
to the comics, I was never excited for the first one,
but surprisingly, the first Aquaman was a hit for DC,
(33:21):
being one of the movies in the DCEU to make
over a billion dollars, so it's quietly a hit. But
when I think of DC, I don't think of Aquaman.
Give me You, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. I'll even take
the Flash in the Green Lantern before I take Aquaman.
The character himself just seems kind of cheesy. But then
you have Jason Momoa, who is a great actor, super rip,
(33:45):
super good looking, who was perfectly cast as the Aquaman
I didn't know I needed in my life. And when
he is on screen, he demands your attention because of
all of his tattoos, because of his hair. He is
a perfectly cast superhero. So I feel like his charm
and his charisma has even opened up my interest in
(34:05):
Achoman because even looking at all the people around him,
with Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman, nothing about this movie
really screams I want to go see it.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
But after the first look at this.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Trailer, my mind has changed and I am looking forward
to this movie. So I credit that immensely to Jason Momoa,
but also director James Wand who is a fantastic director,
specifically in the horror genre. He has launched franchises like
Saw in the Conjuring and I almost feel like this
movie has a little bit more of his edge, more
so than the first one. And that is exactly what
(34:38):
we are seeing in this trailer. It is Acaman in
a new chapter in his life.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He has a baby.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He is the king of the Ocean, but now there
are some people that don't like him, and you have
a legitimate threat in this movie played by Yaya abdul
matin the second and he looks awesome in this movie.
I loved him and Candy Man I loved him in Ambulance.
He is also super ripped up in this movie. So
you have two really good, super ripped up dudes going
(35:04):
at each other in a superhero movie underwater.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
So before I.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Get into more of my thoughts, here is just a
little bit of the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom trailer
on the.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
King of Atlantis. Half a billion people from every known
species in the sea call.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
This place home.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
But that doesn't mean they don't like me. I'm gonna
kill Aquaman and destroy everything he holds. Deal I'm gonna
murder his family and burned his kingdom to ash.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
So, considering all the things surrounding this movie, with the
controversy of Amber Heard allegedly being edited out of this movie,
she makes an appearance in that trailer for a brief second.
So not only is Jason Momoa returning, you have Amber
Heard returning. You have Patrick Wilson as a character that
Acleman is going to team up with known as Ocean Master.
(36:05):
Nicole Kidman is back, and then you have yah Yah
abdul Mateen the second playing Black Manta. You also have
Willem Dafoe back in this movie. And if you google
Ackoman two casts, there are two actors I'm curious of.
I don't know if this is a glitch or they're
gonna make appearances in this movie, but I am seeing
Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as credited actors in Aquaman two.
(36:30):
So maybe they have a brief cameo. Maybe it's a
post credit scene. Maybe it's a way they are hoping
to connect Akoman into what is coming with James Gunn
taking over and completely re hauling DC I am curious
to see that, but after seeing what they did in
The Flash and how their cameos and characters really didn't
(36:51):
mean a whole lot in that movie, I'm not really
investing a whole lot in the idea of a Batman
appearance making or breaking this movie.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
I don't think it really needs it.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
After watching this trailer, I really feel like this movie
can stand on its own.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
I think there is a great story to be told here.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I love it when characters essentially have their entire world
ripped out from them, when a villain goes after the
people they love, goes after their home and sets everything
on fire literally in this trailer, I love to see it.
There is a scene in the trailer where Jason Momoa
is looking so frantic as his house is on fire.
(37:27):
I will say that is the one part of this
trailer where I thought the CGI was a little bit
suss and I didn't want to slam DC if we're
doing more questionable CGI after The Flash, which was really
the only movie where their CGI did not shine, because
I think if you put them compared to Marvel, they
have had a lot more visually stunning CGI scenes and
(37:48):
fight scenes where I feel like they have been paying
more attention to detail and doesn't feel like they're just
shooting things out as quickly as possible. They feel more
cinematic to me in more comic book acts when it
comes to the action and making their character designs look
like they do in the comics. I think they did
a really great job with Ackeman, which is tough to
do because it's kind of a cheesy costume. It could
(38:10):
look so unbelievable and so unrealistic, but I guess when
you throw it on Jason Momoa and you add that
really good visual effects. I like the almost bronze upper top,
the scally look, and the green's not too green where
it looks a lot more realistic than I'm expecting in
this movie.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
It looks like they maybe just.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Refined it a little bit out of a little bit
more texture. It looks really sexy to the eye. And
I am banking on Jason Momoa. He is a great lead.
I believe he carried Fast X and I think he's
going to carry this movie. So I am in on
this one. Ackeman and the Lost Kingdom is coming out
on December twentieth, a great holiday release. No than like
(38:48):
a good superhero movie in December at that was.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
This week's edition of Movie b tramor.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Bar And That's gonna do it for another episode here
of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta give
my listener shout out.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Of the week.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
How you get one of these? You can send me
an email movie Mike d at gmail dot com, tweet
me at Mike d shrow. You could also leave a
review on Apple podcast rate at five stars and write
a quick little review. I love going over there to
read those, But today I am going over to my Instagram,
where I've been trying out some different movie content recently.
(39:24):
I usually just post the movie review, but now I'm
trying to take things from the topic of the week.
I also posted a video recently of me unboxing a
Barbie press box I got from Warner Brothers, so if
you want to check that out too, so let me
know what you like and what you want to see
more of on my social media. But I'm going to
go over to my video that I did last week
(39:45):
talking about my core movie memories.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
I posted a clip about.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Signs and this week's listener shout Out of the Week
goes to Sherry Clark, who wrote, well, I actually went
into labor later that night after watching that movie, So
a core movie memory for multiple reas seas.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
My initial take.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Was, at least you got to finish the entire movie
before going into labor.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
What a great memory.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
You go see sign that scares you so much that
your baby's just decided, Man, I want to come out tonight.
So thank you Sherry for sharing that core movie memory moment,
thank you for commenting you are this week's listener shout
out of the week, and thank you for listening, being
subscribed to the podcast, listening every single week and telling
a friend, until next time, go out and watch good
movies and I will talk to you later.
Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike, and today I want to
break down Disney's one hundredth anniversary film collection. I'm going
to give you the ten films I would save out
of this entire collection and the five I would immediately
set on fire. In the movie review, I'll be talking
about the new horror movie The None two and my
experience seeing that movie in theaters and in the trailer park.
(00:22):
DC has given us the first look at Aquaman and
the Lost Kingdom. I honestly thought maybe this movie wouldn't
come out at this point, but it actually looks pretty good.
Thank you for being here, thank you for listening every
single week. Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew.
And now let's talk movies.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,
one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like
never before in a movie podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
A man with so much movie knowledge. He's basically like
a walking IMTB with glasses. From the Nashville Podcast Network.
This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Disney wants all of our money.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That mouse is just sniffing around, wanting to take any
single dollar we just leave laying around, because not only
do we pay for a Disney Plus subscription, do we
pay money to go see Disney movies in theaters, go
to the parks, and do all these things. Now they
are releasing a one hundred disc set to celebrate their
hundred years of animation, and this thing looks massive. I
(01:26):
don't know, honestly where I would put one hundred discs
in my house. If you get a look at this
thing online, it's these big storage things that essentially look
like what they used to store film reels on back
in the day. It's really nice looking. It's a very
unique set. But I wonder what exactly would you do
with one hundred discs. But that is what Disney does.
They create things that are collectible and that are unique,
(01:49):
and also that only come out for a very limited time.
So I feel like this would be cool to own
a little piece of Disney history. And I do enjoy
collecting some physical media when it comes to any kind.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Of VHS or Blu ray or DVD.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
There's just something about being able to hold a physical
product sometimes, But for me, I only like to collect
things that have a very specific memory attached. To it,
or just something that just feels very significant in film history.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go
through this entire list and tell you the ten films
I would actually save from this Disney Vault and the
(02:25):
five that I would immediately just set on fire because
I don't think they're any good at all. And I'll
also give you some honorable mentions. But that is exactly
what this is. The Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection, one
hundred Years of Animation. The company started back in nineteen
twenty three, and this kind of just reminds me of
the Disney Vault from back in the day, where Disney
would only put out their classic movies at very specific times,
(02:47):
and they would go out into the stores release these movies,
and then once they were sold out or once they
decided it was time to close the vault back again,
they would be gone forever and you couldn't buy them
again until another anniversary.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
They were really strict about this.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They had people who would actually go to the stores
to make sure they were off the shelves and were
no longer selling them when they decided it was time
to lock them away. So it created this kind of
scarcity and exclusivity and made you, if you wanted to
own that movie, go out into the store and buy
it while you could. I remember these commercials and thinking,
oh man, they're finally letting Pokehontas out of the Disney Vault.
(03:24):
We gotta go get a copy. But now it's not
really a thing because everything is on Disney Plus and
if you want to go watch Pocahontas or Mulan, that's
all you really have to do. So essentially, a streaming
service has become the Disney Vault for us, So it
almost feels like they are giving us our own Disney
Vault for the low low price of fifteen hundred dollars.
(03:45):
And what you get inside of this collection, again, this
is not a sponsored thing. I just saw it online
and thought, wow, that's kind of ridiculous, but I gotta
talk about this. You get one hundred animated films from there,
one hundred years of animating that include Disney, Walt, Disney
Animation Studios, and also Pixar movies. They're all put together
in these self standing three volume sets that all have
(04:06):
their own storybook. A limited number of these are going
up for pre order today or depending on when you're
listening to this on September eighteenth on walmart dot com. Yes,
Walmart is doing the pre order for these, which if
you have any experience doing any kind of pre order
from Walmart, it is always chaos.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
But not only do.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You get one hundred discs, you also get a collectible
crystal Mickey ears hat with an exclusive Disney one hundred
engraving on it. So if you are just a huge
Disney fan, which I probably would have been calling myself
a big Disney fan ten years ago, the last decade
of Disney hasn't really sparked that same kind of imagination
for me. But I'm also in my thirties now, so
(04:46):
a lot of these movies just aren't really being marketed
towards me anymore. So what I want to do on
this episode is go through all one hundred movies. We'll
move through them pretty quick, but I want to tell
you which ten I would keep, which five I would
immediately burn. And the reason I would burn them is
because I think they should have never been made, because
they don't really represent Disney, and because they were so forgettable.
(05:08):
I want to erase them from my memory because they
tarnished the Disney name. So we are going to open
up the Disney vaults and take a look inside. Oh man,
there's so many things in here. Wow, what a at all?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I can hear my echo echo.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
All right, We're in the Disney vault and the first
movie in this hundred discollection is the first animated Disney
movie ever from nineteen thirty seven, Snow White in the
Seven Doors. I actually think this is a really great movie,
and it's surprising to me that this movie was made
in nineteen thirty seven, given the sophisticated quality of the animation,
and this was back when they were hand drawing every
(05:45):
single frame, every single movement was hand drawn, essentially making
like a big flip book. That's how they would make
these movies and then take photos of those animations and
make it all come together, come to life. Starting off
in nineteen thirty seven with the first film in this collection.
It's actually one that maxsed the vault. For me because
of the history, because of the characters, and because of
(06:09):
the legacy of this movie. I think it is a
Disney classic and one of the first Disney movies I
remember watching and crazy to me that this movie is
almost one hundred years old coming out in nineteen thirty seven,
So that is an easy entry for me.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
So we have one down. We'll run through this list.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
From nineteen forty you have Pinocchio from nineteen forty. You
also have Fantasia. That's an almost for me, given that
it was made in nineteen forty. Is so experimental and
so out there. I wish Disney made more movies like
Fantasia and took more animation risks like they did back
in nineteen forty. What an amazing movie that I believe
(06:45):
was ahead of its time. But moving down the list,
we have Dumbo from nineteen forty one. That's not going
in there. Bamby from nineteen forty two. Get that movie
out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's sad.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
It's a classic, But no, I don't need that movie
on my life anymore. Yes, Sa Lulos Amigos from forty three,
Three Caballeros from nineteen forty five. No, no, we're not
in a good era right now. Make my music from
forty six, Nah, fun, fancy and free from forty seven.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They would hard on the musicals during this time. Melody
Time from forty eight, The Adventures of Ichabod, and mister
Toad from forty nine. Nah ooh. But then we get
to number twelve from nineteen fifty Cinderella, another Disney classic
with one of the best Disney princesses of all time.
You also have a great supporting cast in Cinderella and
a lot of great songs. I have a lot of
(07:31):
great memories with this movie, and this is a movie
that I feel like really represents what Disney was trying
to do to establish themselves as being the great storytellers
that they are.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
This movie has everything.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It has fantasy, it has a lesson, it has great animation,
especially for the fifties. So with the twelfth movie on
the list, we have our second entry in my vault,
going with Cinderella from nineteen fifty. Alright, moving down the list,
Alison Wonderland from fifty one. We're getting into some pretty
good territory here. I love that one, just not enough
(08:07):
to put it into my collection. That as my third pick.
After that, we have number fourteen from nineteen fifty three,
Peter pan Oh. I love this movie. One of my
favorite movies to watch on VHS. I just feel like
it adds to this level of warm to this movie.
A classic Tale, one of the best Disney characters of
all time that I believe even transcends Disney. I don't
(08:29):
immediately think Disney when I think Peter Pan. Ooh, I
think we're gonna have to have another one right here.
So the third movie in the vault in my collection,
I'm going with Peter Pan. I need this movie on
my life, all right. Moving on down the list now,
the fifteenth disc is Lady in the Tramp from fifty five. Nah.
I never really loved that movie, didn't like the remake,
(08:51):
So neither of those are gonna make my list. Sleeping
Beauty from fifty nine, hah nah, I'm good there. One
hundred and one Dalmatians a great movie, great enough to
enter my top ten. So leave that one in nineteen
sixty one, The Sword in the Stone from sixty three,
I'm good. Jungle Book from sixty seven, a great movie,
was just never one of my favorites, so we're not
(09:12):
adding that one. The Aristocrats from nineteen seventy. We get
a little bit more experimental in the Disney storytelling here.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I never really liked that movie.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I remember always seeing the commercials for that one, as
like commercials inside other Disney movies and thinking what did
they do there?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I'm good without that one.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You have Robin Hood from seventy three, The Many Adventures
of Winning the Pooh in nineteen seventy seven, I'm good here,
The Rescuers from seventy seven, Fox and the Hound from
eighty one, The Black Cauldron from eighty five, The Great
Mouse Detective from nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We have entered the xerox era.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Here for Disney, which is often criticized as being one
of their laziest eras when they were reusing backgrounds, reusing characters,
and a lot of people say the animation during this
time was just very lifeless. But at twenty seven, even
though it's in the xerox era and some people would say,
is not a great Disney movie. I have one that
I'm adding into the vault as our fourth pick. I'm
(10:09):
going from the twenty seventh disc in this collection. Oliver
and Company from nineteen eighty eight has a great soundtrack,
a movie that hits me on an emotional level.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I love this one.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Let's throw it in the vault as our fourth pick.
All right, moving on down the list. Right after that
from nineteen eighty nine is the twenty eighth disc, we
have The Little Mermaid. It's a really good one at
the classic, but I'm not putting it in my collection.
I'm just not The twenty ninth disc The Rescuers down
Under from nineteen ninety I actually like that one.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Better than The Rescuers.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I watched that movie a lot as a kid, but
still not enough to put it on in my list.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Here.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The thirtieth disc is The Beauty in the Beast from
ninety one. Okay, we are entering the Renaissance era here.
Some really great movie is going to have to make
some really tough decisions here. Beauty in the Beast does
not make my list though. At thirty one we have
Aladdin from ninety two. I was just never that big
of an Alatin fan. There were just something about that
movie that just didn't really call to me. A lot
(11:06):
of people love that movie, not making my list. At
number thirty two we have Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before
Christmas from ninety three.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I'm good there.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Then Disc thirty three, The Lion King from nineteen ninety four.
That is an easy one. Do I need to say
more about that one? That is our fifth one, so
five entries down, only five spots remain in the disc.
Right after that at Disc thirty four is a Goofy
movie from nineteen ninety five. It's a classic for me,
(11:35):
even though I feel this one still gets overlooked over
and over again, and it's a cult following that I
feel people appreciate more now than when it came out
in ninety five. You know, we are putting this movie
on my list. Give me a Goofy movie from nineteen
ninety five. All right, we have six down now, run
(11:55):
out of space here Pocahontas from ninety five. I'm good.
Right after that though, also in ninety five, what a
great year at Disney, we have Toy Story as disc
number thirty six, the best Pixar movie of all time,
the first computer generated Pixar movie. This movie is making
the list. Oh my gosh, we have seven down. I'm
(12:17):
gonna have to start being picky here, but we're in
a great era. This is my childhood right here. This
thirty seven. James and the Giant Peach from ninety six.
Keep going until we find a really great one, though.
The Hunchback of Order Don from ninety six also a
great one. So many great pizza Hut Toys. Here in
ninety seven we have Hercules. Ooh, that is an almost
that is a great movie. Then we have Mulan at
(12:39):
disc forty A Bugs Life at Disc forty one from
ninety eight. I feel like this movie really established Pixar
because they made their name known with Toy Story, but
I feel like A Bugs Life is the one that
really put them on the map and really started to
set them aside. A really important film for me too.
I learned a lot from A Bugs Life. So our
(13:00):
eighth pick, I'm going with A Bugs Life. Only two
spots remain. And then we have Tarzan at disc forty two,
which has one of the best Disney soundtracks.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh, this one's close.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I just feel like Tarzan, the character isn't so much Disney,
so I just can't put Tarzan on the list. At
forty three we have Toy Story two. I'm good with
one Toy Story. And number forty four we have Fantasia
two thousand. Then we have the Tigger movie, and then
we have Dinosaur. Dinosaur should not even be in this collection.
(13:36):
This is gonna be my first one that I want
to set on fire. Yeah, we are setting Dinosaur from
two thousand on Fire.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Let's watch it burn. This movie was terrible.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh my gosh, So we have one on fire. Now,
moving on down our list, we are looking for our
ninth film, The Emperor's New grou from two thousand. We
enter into two thousands here where I feel like Disney
was in a transition from the Renaissance to modern Disney
at the time, still in the peak of my childhood.
(14:09):
A great movie, but I'm not putting it on the list.
Atlantis The Lost Empire, after that, Monsters Ink at disc
forty nine, Nah, not putting it in there. Return to
Neverland from two thousand and two. Nah, I'm good. At
number fifty one from two thousand and two, Lelo and Stitch,
one of my favorite movies of all time and my
(14:33):
favorite Disney movie.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Of all times. Such a thrill character, so you already
know this. Fifty one is making my collection.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Taking the ninth spot Leelo and Stitch from two thousand
and two.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
We only have one left here.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
We may not make it to the twenty tens, y'all,
because at number fifty two we have Treasure Planet. Nah.
Fifty three we have The Jungle Book. Two fifty four
we have Piglets big movie. I don't really classify any
of the Winnie the Pooh movies to be Disney movies.
And then at fifty five from two thousand and three,
we have Finding Nemo. This could quite honestly be the
(15:12):
Disney Pixar movie I've seen the most in my lifetime
because I watched it so much in school, and this
is the life I feel like Disney needed in the
two thousands. If you look at everything that came out
before this, I feel like this was the iconic movie
of the two thousands.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
So we got to put it on the list.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I've seen it so many times I couldn't imagine never
watching this movie again at least once. So taking the
final spot in our list at number ten, we didn't
even make it to the twenty tens. We gotta go
with Finding Nemo. I feel like that is a pretty
great list, but we will continue through the rest of
this collection to find the four more we are going
(15:49):
to burn. At number fifty six we have Brother Bear
from two thousand and three, so we clearly see we
are in the era that Pixar was outshining Disney. Disney
was still holding onto that classic animation and shifting into
three D, and the stories here with the Disney movies
just aren't very great. So even if I had the
space brother Bear would not make it. It's not burn
(16:11):
worthy though, because then we get to disc fifty seven
Home on the Range. What a forgettable Disney movie? What
were they thinking? This one needs to go away forever.
We're setting it on fire. Yeah, that is our second
one that we are throwing into the flames. At fifty eight, ooh,
could have made my list. The Incredibles from two thousand
and four. At fifty nine, Poo's hef a lump movie.
(16:35):
I honestly don't even really remember this movie. I just again,
I don't really see Whinnie the poo is being like
a Disney character. They just happened to own them. At
number sixty, Chicken Little from two thousand and five. That's
a close burner. This was Disney just trying to put
out a movie. It looks like then at sixty one
we have cars from two thousand and six. I feel
like I was also growing up a little bit during
(16:55):
this time. Two thousand and six. Yeah, I mean I
was fifteen, so I feel like maybe I got a
little bit away from liking Disney movies at this time,
and I thought, maybe, ah, these are just for kids.
At sixty two we have Meet the Robinsons. At sixty
three we have Ratitituey, a great movie from two thousand
and seven, one of the greatest years of film. Sixty
four walle E from two thousand and eight is a
(17:16):
movie that you either haiti love I love that one. Oh,
I wish you had the space for that one. Sixty
five we have Kinkerbell from two thousand and eight. At
sixty six we have Bolt from two thousand and eight,
another really forgettable Disney movie. I do remember watching this
one and thinking, this doesn't even feel like a Disney movie,
and for that reason, we're gonna set it on fire.
(17:41):
Extra flames on that one.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I can't believe they include.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That one in this collection either. Ooh, but then they
made it up. I didn't even mean to do that.
At sixty seven is up from two thousand and nine,
one of the only Disney movies I've seen twice in theaters.
At number sixty eight, The Princess and the Frog. Okay,
we're getting good here again. Sixty nine we have Toy
store Ie. That's a good movie and number seventy, we
have Tangled and number seventy one, we have Cars two.
(18:06):
At seventy two, we have Winnie the Pogle from twenty eleven.
Seventy three, we have Brave from twenty twelve. Seventy four.
We have franken Weenie from twenty twelve, a movie now
that I watch every single Halloween.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I love the.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Animation Frank and Weenie. At seventy five, we have Wrecket
Route from twenty twelve. At seventy six, we have Monsters
University from twenty thirteen. I hate that they made that movie.
Should have just made a wonner with Monsters Ink. That's
an almost burn because our fourth burn is gonna be
from twenty thirteen. The movie is Planes Awful, trying to
(18:39):
cash in on the whole, like, hey, let's make things
that aren't living living and give them feelings. Planes Planes
set it on fire, but then they made it up
after that from twenty thirteen, this seventy eight is Frozen.
Oh my gosh, I forgot they made a sequel to
Planes Fire and Rescue.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Do we set the both on fire?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Or does the flames from Planes one carry over to
Planes two. I'm just gonna burn one of these, they
don't deserve more flames. At number eighty is Big Hero
six from twenty fourteen. Eighty one is Inside Out. Ooh,
glad we saved our flames because at eighty two is
the worst Disney movie in my opinion, The Good Dinosaur
(19:21):
from twenty fifteen set it on fire.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Evil laugh here a.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Disney should be embarrassed of this movie. They should just
not make Disney dinosaur movies. Dinosaur movies are so epic
and cool looking, and somehow they made them boring. At
number eighty three, we have Zotopia. At number eighty four,
we have Finding Dory. At number eighty five, we have
Mowana that, oh, that could have made my list. I
(19:49):
love Mowana. At number eighty six, we have Cars three
that is an almost burner. We'll give it a little flame,
little flame, little flame for Cars three. Why did they
make that into a trilogy. Number eighty seven we have
Coco that's a definite almost And number eighty eight.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
In this collection we have The Incredibles.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Two eighty nine is wreck at Ralph Breaks the Internet,
ninety is Toy Story four ninety one is Frozen, two
ninety two is Onward ninety three is Soul, ninety four
is Raya in the Lost Dragon, this ninety five is Luca,
and we have ninety six Incanto ninety seven Turning Red.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We're almost there, folks.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
This ninety eight is light Year, and this ninety nine
is Strange World, and finally Disc one hundred is Elemental
from twenty twenty three. I actually think overall this is
a pretty solid collection. It would be cool to own
all of these movies and all the extras that come
with it. It's a very sleek design. Disney knows how
(20:46):
to package a product.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
But at fifteen hundred dollars, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I mean, it would make a great gift for the holidays,
But you have fifteen hundred dollars worth of discs sitting
on your shelf. I don't know about that, especially when
it's just so much easier to open up Disney Plus
and search out any movie you want. And I am
a stickler for quality, but I don't know how much
better having a movie on disc is really than the
(21:15):
streaming version. So, man, you had to be really hardcore
into Disney to get this list.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Or just be really rich.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So if you are really rich and going to buy
this tag me in your post and let me know
what it looks like, what it finally gets to you,
because I see the photos they have of it online,
But sometimes that doesn't always do it justice.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
So there we go.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We made it through the one hundred disc collection. What
made our top ten to recap Snow White and the
Seven Dwarves, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Oliver and Company, The Lion King,
A Goofy movie, Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Lilo and
Stitch and Finding Nemo are all the movies.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I would say from this collection.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
If I could only save one out of all those,
even though Lelo and Stitch is my favorite, I could
only save one Disney movie from this collection, it would
be The Lion King. It's a classic, was probably my
favorite movie as a kid.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I would have to save The Lion King.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
And the five movies that made the burn list Dinosaur,
Home on the Range, Bolt Planes, The Good Dinosaur. Those
are the five movies that we need to burn immediately.
And now it is time to close up the Disney vaults.
All right, come back, I give my review spoiler free
(22:31):
on the nun To two. And then in the trailer
Park we're talking about Aquaman. And the Lost Kingdom. Let's
get into it now. A spoiler free movie review the
None Tube. Quite possibly the least excited I've ever been
for a horror movie sequel, and quite honestly, I'm surprised
(22:51):
this movie has a part two because the story in
the first one was so paper thin and so boring
really throughout that I'm surprised they decided to give it
another run. For the nun but the first one did
have some box off his success. I think it's because
it is inside of that Conjuring universe and everything James
One has created. With all these characters from The Conjuring
(23:12):
and Annabel even like Yodanaw all these movies working together
as one, I feel like they thought they could make
some money on this movie as well. So what this
movie is about. It takes place four years after the
events of The Nune Part one. You're in nineteen fifty
six France. In this movie, a priest gets violently murdered.
You see in the trailer that he gets burned to death,
(23:32):
and then you have Sister Ireen returning to investigate, and
then Sister Irene goes face to face with evil again,
much like you would experience in any other possession exorcism
movie like this. So first impressions of this movie, I
always judge a horror movie based on the first twenty
minutes because those are so crucial to how I'm going
to feel throughout this entire movie. You always get that
opening sequence that has some kind of big kill. In
(23:55):
this case, you find out exactly what happens to the priest.
And I was so underway at that opening sequence that
I thought, oh man, they're gonna do it again. They're
gonna drag out this entire story, and there's not gonna
be anything scary, and it's gonna be a lot of talking,
and we're gonna eventually have this scene where they go
and find out the real mystery and then go rush
back and do all these things. Just seemed like a
(24:17):
big cliche to start out this movie, and even getting
into some of the characters, I felt like, oh man,
there's really gonna be nothing here to chew on.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
But after that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
First act, which was really kind of painfully slow, I
feel like this movie started to come into its own
right around that second act. The production on this movie
is very slick and very nicely produced, and I don't
always shout out to editing in movies, or makeup design,
or special effects or even stunt performers. But through all
(24:47):
the horror elements that really banked on that in this movie,
I thought, hey, they actually did a really good job here,
because a lot of it is in that presentation of
seeing something scary. The makeup and the vision effects on
the nun are a lot better in this movie. I
still don't think just the presence of her on screen
makes me scared in any way, so it's everything they
(25:08):
have to build around it that actually ends up working
in this movie. But the way I compare this movie
since it inside of the Conjuring universe, that first Conjuring
from twenty thirteen did such a great job of building
suspense and making you feel scared as the viewer. So
I compare all of these movies inside of this universe
to how that first one made me feel, which is
(25:30):
one of my favorite horror movies of all time. I
still don't think any movie has captured that same energy
as the first one and the story that James Wand
created in that initial Conjuring movie. They've all just been
kind of writing the coattails and writing the formula of
the conjuring, and this movie is a perfect example of
that because it is so reliant on the jump scares,
(25:54):
and I just feel like that is so cheap to
the viewer. I feel like, whenever you just have to
bank on when things out of the screen to scare us,
you really are doing that great of a job at
creating a horror movie and creating these moments that we're
going to look back and remember on as actually being
things that stood out from this movie.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
So that is.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Always what I look for.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
But where this movie started to win me over is
they did a pretty good job at creating these characters
and getting you invested in these stories. You have a
relationship between one of the people that works at this
boarding school where they are investigating all these things that
are starting to happen, and he has a relationship with
one of the students. He helps her out, and some
(26:35):
of the other kids make fun of them for their relationship,
which this movie could have gone in a very weird direction,
but luckily, at the core of it, it was wholesome.
So I felt a little bit of an emotional connection
of wanting to see the best result possible for all
of these characters because they start to care about them.
And then I really found myself liking all the visuals
in this movie that were really good, and I would
(26:56):
almost describe them as like horror wholesome. I think about
my mom, who loves horror movies, but she doesn't like
any horror movies that are overly gruesome or just overly violent.
This one is like right there in the middle. Even
though this movie is rated R, I think if they
tweet just a couple of things, they probably could have
got a PG thirteen rating. But I know sometimes parents
(27:18):
wonder if movies are okay for their younger kids who
love horror movies. I actually think this one would be fine.
There's no nudity. I don't even think there's a whole
lot of swear words in this movie. So at the
core of this movie, I found it to be a
little bit wholesome. It feels very much Hollywood horror to me,
which over time I find myself enjoying parts of it
because even though I feel like Hollywood horror kind of
(27:41):
takes the fun out of it, It takes the creativity,
it takes the just overall rawness of horror movies and
kind of evaporates that all away to appeal to a
wider audience, which you do get is some great visual
effects and some great moments that you can only get
with a budget like that, which this movie costed thirty
eight million dollars to make, and you can really tell
(28:03):
they spent a lot of that on getting the visual
effects right. So I found myself really enjoying it, even
though nothing really stood out on its own. The third
act very much made up for that first act, which
was pretty boring overall, but it really got there in
the end. You can really tell where they spent the
money on for this movie, and it's surprisingly doing pretty
well for a horror movie that I feel like didn't
(28:25):
really have a whole lot of buzz around the sequel.
In its first ten days, it has made fifty six
point five million dollars at the box office, which is
thirty three percent less than the None Part one, but
again with no real buzz around it. Also with the
strike going on and the actors and director not being
able to promote this movie. I actually think that is
(28:46):
a pretty good number, especially considering that we are only
really just starting to de Bartes into the Halloween horror season,
only being halfway through September, So I think this one
has some life to it. I think if it can
make a little bit more money as we get closer
to Halloween, we're probably gonna get that Nun three and
get that full on non trilogy. I think Warner Brothers
(29:06):
will still invest in another Nun movie. I was looking
at some numbers recently that somebody just posted about Warner Brothers.
They have taken four big financial losses this year, with
Magic Mike's The Last Dance, Shazam, Fury of the Gods,
The Flash, and Blue Beetle both being their biggest losses
of the year, but they've also been really profitable with Barbie,
(29:29):
which is the highest grossing movie of the year. I
feel like with that movie alone, they're going to be
doing pretty well. But they also had some surprising hits
that made some money with Meg two, The Trench. The
Nuns still bringing in a pretty good amount of money,
like we've been talking about Create.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Three and Evil Dead Rise.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So I love the fact that two of those movies
are horror movies, which I feel are kind of like
the cash cow inside of Hollywood because you can spend
less money on them. Thirty eight million dollars in the
and scheme of things is nothing. When you're spending over
two hundred sometimes two fifty to make a superhero movie,
(30:06):
you spend you know, under forty million dollars and you
make double sometimes triple that.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I feel like that is the sweet spot.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
But in order to really make money in horror, you
have to make things that stand out. You have to
make things that are original and unique. And that's where
you kind of hit it and strike it big because
you don't spend a whole lot of money, but everybody
loves it and wants to go see it, and then
you make it all back at the box office. But
you're really not gonna do that with a movie like
The Nun that for the most part is kind of
(30:36):
painting my numbers.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
But I feel like at the core of it.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
When I go into a horror movie, I just want
to be entertained. I just want to have some good
visuals that even though in this case they don't really
scare you, but they are frightening, Like I won't deny
them that It is a very creepy looking Nun, And
there are some other surprises in there that I thought, Hey,
this is actually pretty cool, and I think The only
(31:00):
real benefit of watching this movie on the big screen
is I had all my attention towards it, and also
just being inside a dark theater, you start to get
a little bit jumpy, You start to get a little
bit more anti than you would watching this movie at home.
Although I think the scariest part for me was at
one point where somebody just started walking on the side
of me and they kind of look ghostly because you're
(31:23):
in a completely dark theater. And also this movie is.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Just very dark overall on screen, so.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It's the most pitch black that I ever really see
the theater getting and to see just a little bit
of light in the corner, that's what freaked me out
more than anything that was on screen. So for the
nun To two, when it comes to the rating, I
would say going into this, I was expecting to give
it about a two point.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Five right in the middle, and it also kind of
left me wanting more.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I thought I was gonna go and see this movie
and not want to see a nun three. And I
won't say that I would be excited about a nun
To three, but I would definitely go watch it in
theaters again. So it went from that two point five
up to that three. And I've also just been thinking
about this movie a lot after watching it, so I
feel like it did leave a little bit of an
impression on me. And I think if you go watch
(32:11):
this for the pure entertainment value of just loving horror
movies and wanting to see something new in theaters, I
think it's a good time. And if, like me, you
have a mom who loves horror movies, I think they
would enjoy this too. So for the nun too, this
is surprising to me. I'm giving it a three point
five out of five goats, and you gotta watch the
movie to find out why it's goats.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's time to head down to movie Mike.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Trey, Lar Paul. We finally have it, and I've been
waiting for this.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
DC has given us the first look at Aquaman two,
better known as Aquaman and the Last Kingdom. I didn't
think this movie was going to see the light of
day after what happened with Blue Beatle and The Flash.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I didn't know if DC was ready to take another hit,
and honestly, I was expecting to hate this trailer because
I don't really love Aukaman. The character himself has always
felt a little bit cheesy to me, even going back
to the comics, I was never excited for the first one,
but surprisingly, the first Aquaman was a hit for DC,
(33:21):
being one of the movies in the DCEU to make
over a billion dollars, so it's quietly a hit. But
when I think of DC, I don't think of Aquaman.
Give me You, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. I'll even take
the Flash in the Green Lantern before I take Aquaman.
The character himself just seems kind of cheesy. But then
you have Jason Momoa, who is a great actor, super rip,
(33:45):
super good looking, who was perfectly cast as the Aquaman
I didn't know I needed in my life. And when
he is on screen, he demands your attention because of
all of his tattoos, because of his hair. He is
a perfectly cast superhero. So I feel like his charm
and his charisma has even opened up my interest in
(34:05):
Achoman because even looking at all the people around him,
with Amber Heard and Nicole Kidman, nothing about this movie
really screams I want to go see it.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
But after the first look at this.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Trailer, my mind has changed and I am looking forward
to this movie. So I credit that immensely to Jason Momoa,
but also director James Wand who is a fantastic director,
specifically in the horror genre. He has launched franchises like
Saw in the Conjuring and I almost feel like this
movie has a little bit more of his edge, more
so than the first one. And that is exactly what
(34:38):
we are seeing in this trailer. It is Acaman in
a new chapter in his life.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He has a baby.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He is the king of the Ocean, but now there
are some people that don't like him, and you have
a legitimate threat in this movie played by Yaya abdul
matin the second and he looks awesome in this movie.
I loved him and Candy Man I loved him in Ambulance.
He is also super ripped up in this movie. So
you have two really good, super ripped up dudes going
(35:04):
at each other in a superhero movie underwater.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
So before I.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Get into more of my thoughts, here is just a
little bit of the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom trailer
on the.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
King of Atlantis. Half a billion people from every known
species in the sea call.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
This place home.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
But that doesn't mean they don't like me. I'm gonna
kill Aquaman and destroy everything he holds. Deal I'm gonna
murder his family and burned his kingdom to ash.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
So, considering all the things surrounding this movie, with the
controversy of Amber Heard allegedly being edited out of this movie,
she makes an appearance in that trailer for a brief second.
So not only is Jason Momoa returning, you have Amber
Heard returning. You have Patrick Wilson as a character that
Acleman is going to team up with known as Ocean Master.
(36:05):
Nicole Kidman is back, and then you have yah Yah
abdul Mateen the second playing Black Manta. You also have
Willem Dafoe back in this movie. And if you google
Ackoman two casts, there are two actors I'm curious of.
I don't know if this is a glitch or they're
gonna make appearances in this movie, but I am seeing
Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as credited actors in Aquaman two.
(36:30):
So maybe they have a brief cameo. Maybe it's a
post credit scene. Maybe it's a way they are hoping
to connect Akoman into what is coming with James Gunn
taking over and completely re hauling DC I am curious
to see that, but after seeing what they did in
The Flash and how their cameos and characters really didn't
(36:51):
mean a whole lot in that movie, I'm not really
investing a whole lot in the idea of a Batman
appearance making or breaking this movie.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
I don't think it really needs it.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
After watching this trailer, I really feel like this movie
can stand on its own.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
I think there is a great story to be told here.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I love it when characters essentially have their entire world
ripped out from them, when a villain goes after the
people they love, goes after their home and sets everything
on fire literally in this trailer, I love to see it.
There is a scene in the trailer where Jason Momoa
is looking so frantic as his house is on fire.
(37:27):
I will say that is the one part of this
trailer where I thought the CGI was a little bit
suss and I didn't want to slam DC if we're
doing more questionable CGI after The Flash, which was really
the only movie where their CGI did not shine, because
I think if you put them compared to Marvel, they
have had a lot more visually stunning CGI scenes and
(37:48):
fight scenes where I feel like they have been paying
more attention to detail and doesn't feel like they're just
shooting things out as quickly as possible. They feel more
cinematic to me in more comic book acts when it
comes to the action and making their character designs look
like they do in the comics. I think they did
a really great job with Ackeman, which is tough to
do because it's kind of a cheesy costume. It could
(38:10):
look so unbelievable and so unrealistic, but I guess when
you throw it on Jason Momoa and you add that
really good visual effects. I like the almost bronze upper top,
the scally look, and the green's not too green where
it looks a lot more realistic than I'm expecting in
this movie.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
It looks like they maybe just.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Refined it a little bit out of a little bit
more texture. It looks really sexy to the eye. And
I am banking on Jason Momoa. He is a great lead.
I believe he carried Fast X and I think he's
going to carry this movie. So I am in on
this one. Ackeman and the Lost Kingdom is coming out
on December twentieth, a great holiday release. No than like
(38:48):
a good superhero movie in December at that was.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
