Speaker 1 (00:01):
Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and a.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's Up Everybody Listener Q and A time Mike d
is with me this weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
You're feeling good money, I am feeling good.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, good, Well, we're gonna start off with some notes.
Monica from Chicago loves all the best bits.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I should just leave it there, but she added, except
for lunchbox, I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
To put it.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
There was something negative coming well.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Normally like I like the notes to be positive, but
you know, there it is. And then Ashley from Arizona said,
no question, but I love Kelsey more Kelsey content.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Which is your wife?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Try to get her on my podcast as much as I.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Can, as much as she'll let you, or as much
as you. Guys both have time for.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Probably both have time for.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well, we're diving in. We got a lot of questions.
I got a whole movie section too. I'm starting off
with it.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Okay, with that, I know, just it give you a
little deep tease.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Shila from California wants to know your favorite alternative band.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Ooh, alternative is an easy way to or interesting way
to describe it, because I don't really classify what I'm
into as alternative, like I'm into punk rock, so I
feel like that's a whole other genre. When I think
of alternative, I think of like the bands I grew
up listening to on the radio, so that's alternative to me.
But alternative has also changed what it is now, Like
I would consider like Billie Eilish an alternative artist. Oh
(01:24):
she gets played on rope right, She's like there too.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
She's a lot of genres.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I'm thinking of in terms of what I know
the category of alternative to be. That's interesting because there's
a lot of good ones.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know, tough questions over here.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I almost go back to like those early two thousands,
and I would have to go Lincoln Park. They fall
in that alternative category. They're probably more like new metal
rap rock, but I feel like that was so massive
back in the day. And whenever I heard their album
Hybrid Theory, which is like their mega one back in
the day, like that was life changing for me.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And what would be your favorite song from them?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Probably I think it's a song that starts off that
album Papercut, just because whenever I first heard that, like
something altered in my brain. And I was also at
the time, like all into like Green Day, Blanquin eighty two,
like those types of bands, But that was like the
one band that I realized, Oh, like, these people are
really good at their instruments. They can sing. There's way
more layers to this. So if I had to go
favorite alternative band, probably Lincoln Park.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right, now, you're gonna be listening to him this
weeking because you put it back in your mind.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna go run to that now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Sandy in Texas wants to know if you always thought
like Bobby or if this is something you learned over time.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't feel like I've thought like him. I guess
they're they're asking about, like how similar we are.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, because I think Bobby's always like Mike d knows
things before.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So there's two levels of here. There's thinking like him,
of I feel like we've always just been kind of
on the same wavelength as far as how we are
as humans. It's like, outside of the show, we're really quiet.
I think that's why we get together get along so
well together. But there's also the level of this question
of like when did I start to like know how
he works? I feel like that just came with time
of working with him for so long working on the
(03:10):
show and me being one of the only ones who
knows like what we're gonna do and the angles it's
gonna go. I feel like it's really been in like
like the last three or four years where I like
can predict things.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Like before they happen versus after that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, Or I can think in the way that he
is going to think about something and have it prepared,
or even like gear a bit that way of like, oh,
he's probably gonna go here here, we need to have
all this ready. That's I mean, I've been working with
him now fourteen years, so I feel like in the
last four years that has become more of like, Okay,
he trusts me, he knows we're going to think the
(03:43):
same way. There's even a thing now that we've developed
in like the last year or so. Or I can
like express something on my face and he almost knows
like what I'm feeling, Like if there's a situation where
there's like a trivia game being played, like I think
it was like a he just bought like this random
box of true bet cards the other day and we
was just ripping them. Usually I don't get to play
games because I always make the games. But during this game,
(04:05):
I just gave him like looks that I knew the
answers and he knew. So it's also like, so it
goes both ways. Yeah. And the thing about that is
I feel like my vibe in the studio kind of
alters his vibe. Like if I have like a weird
look on my face, like something is wrong, he is
going to be uncomfortable. So I have to be very
kind of conscious of how I look in the studio
(04:27):
and how express things, because if I show any kind
of hesitation or even just like a tone in my voice,
he could feel that there's something off. So it's also like,
during well bits are happening, to kind of give him
some comfort that things are going well. I try to
play that off on my face because it's like this
whole wavelength thing we have going on.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
When I feel like that turn happened because before when
we had our old studio, you weren't in the studio
with us.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, that was like a big thing of me coming in.
I forgot about.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That, and I feel like that's when that happened.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What you're talking about, when that moment happened that you
guys really started to each other, because it sounds like
you guys kind of read each other's energy also, and
it sounds like that really started to happen around that
time when you came into the studio, when we had
the new studio and you had your own space in there,
and that all started to kind of transition that way. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, it was definitely me getting my own corner because
before when I started on the show here, I was
a phone screener, so I was completely separate in the classroom,
and then when I got promoted writer, there wasn't really
a spot for me in the studio. So sometimes I
would be like on this little sliver of the old
desk we sed to have and I'd be in there. But
then whenever we got the new studio and I have
my own space, I feel like that's where.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The mojo really started to kick in.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Just hanging in the corner.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well there you go, Sandy, all right, Kate from California,
I would like to know when you realized your wife
was the one.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think it was pretty early on the moment I
tell her. The moment I realized was whenever I saw
how she was with her family and I think it
was like seeing her interact with her brothers and show
like how much she loved them, how much she prioritizes,
like going to spend time with them because she was
living in Austin at the time and they were living
(06:06):
like forty five minutes to an hour away, but she
would like drive up on the weekends to go to
their games and always just even though she wasn't living
with them anymore, she wanted to still have that big
sister presence. So I remember just going, like when I
met her parents for the first time and her brothers,
that was pretty monumental, and just seeing like how they
were together. I was like, this is it, Like this
(06:28):
is hell, this is what I've been looking for.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So do you feel like there's like one moment they
can really like detail specify where you're like like you
probably already knew had some feelings of it, but maybe
like when you were like, Okay, I'm marrying this person,
like this is the person I'm asking my wife.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It was a combo of that and then whenever I
brought her to meet my parents for the first time,
because I that's a big thing in I don't know,
just Mexan culture or my family of like whenever you
bring somebody around, that's saying that that's the one person.
Like when I have an older brother, older sister. We
never brought boyfriends girl, I mean never had any before Kelsey,
but we never brought boyfriends or girlfriends around that we
(07:07):
weren't like super serious with. That's just how we were. Yeah,
because like you bring around the one and that's kind
of the introduction to the family and then if that
goes well, then yeah, it's it's like meant to be.
So I think whenever I brought her around to my parents,
that was kind of like, okay, this work. Everybody likes her,
everybody gets along. And because I'm so close with my family,
(07:30):
I needed somebody who was also very close with their family.
So the fact that both of our families get along
now is like even better. So it was almost making
sure that all of our families worked together well was
also a big thing. So once we did the meeting
of the two families, that was it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh I love that. Oh, super cute story. Good question.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Kay, Okay, now we're diving into movie stuff, but we're
taking quick break.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now. I always get movie questions when Mike is on,
because this is Movie Mike d like he has Movie
Mike's Movie pot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Did I say that right, Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
There was a lot of movie things being said there,
and that's why everybody wants to talk about movies when
you're on here.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I hope that's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Okay, We're starting off with Ryan in Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
He assumes that you have a really crazy at home
movie setup.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Is that the case?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, not the case. I whenever COVID hit, I did
invest in like a bigger screen TV because before that
I had the one that I had since college. It
was maybe like thirty two thirty seven. Yeah, you definitely
that big. Wasn't that high dev But as far as
having like a legit setup, I don't. It's like kind
of my dream to have a house where I have
(08:42):
like a whole movie theater. I like to watch it
in the highest quality possible, which for a long time
I would actually get like Blu rays because it's better
quality than streaming. I am particular about that a little bit,
But I think I've gotten to the point now that
I don't really need that at home. I have like
a soundbar, but it's nothing fancy TVs. Nothing fancy, is
just a bigger screen. And I think it's because I
(09:06):
feel like when I go watch a movie in theaters,
it heightens the experience, and I kind of want to
have a different experience at home of just seeing a
movie that's like it's not really stripped down in any way,
but it's not that same quality. If I had that
same experience, I probably want to go to the theater less.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's fair, That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, so when you get a house, do you think
you'll have like a designated room that's going to be
like you know how people have like guest rooms and stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Do you think your guest room will be like the
movie room?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I think so. Like my wife and I watch House
Hunters a lot, and every time they have a theater
in there, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what. That's like
a dream thing.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That's the plan. I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
France has wants some current movie recommendations that are on
streaming platforms. Ooh, that's a tough one, I know, and
I didn't really prep you for that. So we're just
diving in because.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
A lot of the Oscar movies that just won those
are not available to stream yet you still have to
pay for them. The last it's a good streaming movie
I watch would probably be you can.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Look at your notes, spiff and talking about some things.
I did watch. Aquaman just came to Max and so
would you think about it? Yeah, so I watched both
of those. Aquaman was fine.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It wasn't anything like I was like, oh, this is
the best movie ever.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It's something to write home about. Like it was visually cool.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But after Black Panther the second one and uh second
Avatar and now this one, I'm like, there's a lot
of underwater things happening. They're all kind of looking the same. Yeah,
it's really more of what I saw.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I hated that movie, did you?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, Like it was like I said, I always love
enjoying watching like a superhero movie.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
But it wasn't anything that I was like, I'm gonna
tell everybody to go watch this. It's free. I watched it.
It's fine, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Like it's one of those I wish I would have
waited for streaming on that one.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, Like that's someone who were like, dang, I shouldn't
have gone to theaters, but Wonka, I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Did really enjoy I love Wonka.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Like I thought Timothy Shale schallamelle sham so I forgot
half of the loss of his last name.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He was really great as Wonka, like a really good
musical character. I felt like in that role.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, I was hesitant about that one because I'm such
a big fan of the original. I would consider it
one of my top ten movies of all time. Interesting,
and I hated the Johnny Depp version.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And that's that's Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, right, that's
that one. Charlie, Charlie and the Chocolate. Yeah, Okay, this
is all slightly different.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, but I did not like that one so much
that I was worried going into this one because if
they ruined it again, it would like tarnish what I
love about the original one. But since it is like
a standalone story and a prequel, I thought the way
that Timothy Challa May played Wonka like completely different. Like
he didn't try to be what Gene Wilder did back
in the day. He kind of had his own approach
(11:43):
to it, and it was like a different version of
Willy Wonka.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So can you break down for me, because I'm not
super I've seen them all, but I'm not super familiar
with all of them, like what kind of each Wonka
brought to the table.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the one
back in the seventies, and that was like the introduction
based on the book, and that was Gene Wilde. That's
like really the best. That's the best one because it's
Charlie Bucket, the same classic story of him getting go
to the Chocolate Factor. He's a poor kid, and that
has all like the great visuals, like all the songs,
(12:15):
and it has practical effects and everything that made that
movie great. They completely stripped away in the version with
Johnny Depp directed by Tim Burton, because that one was
like darker, kind of weirder, the Oopa loops. We're all
one character that they just copied over and over, so
it was just the same guy. So that one was
supposed to be more like the book and less like
(12:37):
an adaptation of it, but it really didn't do anything
particularly well and I just hated it. Like Tim Burton's
style is kind of like either like it or you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Isn't he more kind of horrorsh.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like family friendly like Beetlejuice yeah, like, and.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He did the he does the Nightmare before Christmas?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Is that him?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
He didn't direct that, but he wrote it. A lot
of people think that's like a director, but yeah, he's
that one did like a lot of just like like
the first Batman movie, which was darker, so that's kind
of his style. And he puts Johnny Depp in everything,
So I feel like that wasn't the best choice to
direct that movie. So with this new one, it's just
(13:17):
like it kind of gave me that same feeling of
being a kid again when I watched the first one,
even though it came out like almost thirty years before
I was born.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, and I like to your point now.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That you're talking about too, I remember watching the Johnny
Depp one and I was like, this is really dark,
like Wonka's.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Kind of creepy, very creepy.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But watching the new one, I was like, dang, he's
just a guy who had a really big dream and
he like had a big passion he chased it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, because I mean there are moments in the original
one where he gets a little creepy, a little bit
sinister because he's a little bit more jaded, and the
whole relationship he has was like him going into hiding
for a long time and then opening up the chocolate
factory again. There was that element there. But the Timothy
Shallowmey version is like before he gets that cynicism and
he's like very like bright and like looks at the
(13:59):
world like I want to my chocolate with everybody. But
in the movie, he does have these outside forces that
want to take him down and want to see him
not succeed. So it's like before that fully starts weighing
on him.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
As the version you get, Okay, Okay, that makes sense.
We broke down Wonka of the Plan, but I liked it. Okay,
while I was spending about Wonka and aquamandage.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You have a chance to look at them.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I would say, now that it's on streaming, is Killers
of the Flower Moon because it's a long movie. It's
like three and a half hours long, and it's hard
for me to recommend long movies because people just see
the runtime and they're immediately out. But now that it's
on streaming, if you don't think about it as a movie,
you think of it as a series. I think you
could watch that movie in forty five minute chunks and
(14:40):
you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, So kind of treat it as like a limited.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Series, because that's essentially what it is. A lot of
shows that people love now are limited series that are
like five six episodes long. You're like, I can finish
it all in a weekend. If you treat it the
same way, I think it has the same effect because
essentially what limited series are are just really long movies.
They're like four or five hour long movies. They just
split them up because the way those are formatted, it's
(15:08):
not so much like this is what happens in this episode.
It's just kind of like split up into one story
over a continuous thing, and then that's it. There's no
season two that is a story in its entirety. That's
essentially a movie just fed to you in a different way.
So I really enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon, but
it's so it was so long to watch in theaters
and hard to recommend somebody to go see it. If
(15:29):
you watch it in a smaller, more digestible way, I
think you would really like it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Is she the one who.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Who was it that got not necessarily snubbed at the
Oscars but didn't win when Emma Stone won.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Billy Gladstone was that from Flowers Haarman?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, She's one of the mains in the movie.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, I just I assume I was seeing stuff online
about that because people were upset she didn't win, and
I just didn't know because I haven't seen that movie yet.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Okay, So she kind of did get snubbed.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So a way of in a way, I mean, she
was nominated, which is huge. Yeah, and when you look
at her role in that movie versus Emma Stone's role
in Poor Things, I think Emma Stone's character was just
a more integral part of that movie. I feel like
just screen time alone, it's hard to compare the two.
So I feel like it was really great of Lily
(16:20):
Gladstone to get that nomination also for the representation, and
I think that was kind of the driving force more
of the campaign around her, which would have been awesome.
But if I look at it strictly from a film perspective,
I feel like she would have easily won it. She
would have been nominated for Supporting Actress instead of just actress.
Got it because it's kind of weird the way they
split those because you have Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert de Niro,
(16:42):
and her all in that movie, and it's like, who's
the lead here?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Like yeah, especially when it sounds like they kind of
were all evenly the lead.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, we got Amanda from Norfolk, Virginia. She wants to
know would you ever want to have a role in
a movie?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And Oh, I've been thinking about this because I see
TikTokers who get like roles in an animated movie, right,
like somebody who can develop like a following online reviewing
or talking about movies. Sometimes I'll give them apart just
so they'll like mention it. It's like a promo thing. Yeah,
So I think I would love a role in like
an animated movie, like a real small character. Like I
just went to go see Kung Fu Panda four and
(17:21):
mister Beast was a voice of a character in that movie.
And it's like maybe one two lines, maybe just a
few words, but he's like credited in the movie. He
has an IBB page, Like, I think that would be cool.
So my dream would probably be like whenever they make
another into the Spider Verse movie, have like a small
like like one line, even it's like a voice.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Extra, okay, Yeah, because you love Spider Man, that's your guy.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Anything Marvel, and they're really getting more into animation right now,
especially even if it's a TV series. They're kind of
they also they have like their own Marvel animation department
now that they're like focusing more on kind of like
DC does really great, a really great job in making
animated stuff. Marvel is really just now starting to get there.
So I would take anything in a Marble anything.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's okay, that's a great one. Aaron would like to
know three movies that have been overhyped and didn't deliver.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The one that I thought was overhyped for the longest
amount of time that people call me crazy for it
was Bridesmaids. I didn't really like that one when I
first watched.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So that one of your correct me if I'm wrong.
One of your wife's favorite.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Movies that is like her favorite movie of all time,
and she's been the person like, you gotta watch this
movie again. You're missing something here, and I didn't. I
enjoyed it more. But as far as like those types
of comedies, that was never my favorite comedy and people
love that movie.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, it's a really funny comedy though, but okay, so
for that, but for you, it would be overhyped and
didn't delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I thought it was overhyped, okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And what about two others easily.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The first Avatar that was like so overhyped and made
like so much money when it for came out. It
took me longer to even appreciate that movie. But when
I first saw it, I was like, this is boring. This,
this is Dances with Wolves with Blue Creatures?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Interesting take? Did you watch the second one?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I did, and I actually liked the second one a
lot more once I kind of realized the grand scope
of it and like what it really means to cinema
as far as like what James Cameron does. I think
I became more of a James Cameron fan than an
Avatar fan, just because he is responsible for making some
of the biggest, most elaborate movies of our lifetime, and
(19:33):
I feel like I respected it more on just like
this is like, how do you even start making this?
Putting people in these suits? All of his motion capture technology?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
One he had to dream it up too, right, like
I had to be dreamt up.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a movie that I watched, and I can't even
imagine how you begin that creative process because there's so
many things going on, just visually, all the backstory, all
the characters. And then he's also just really great at
making like action and explosions, which I feel like is
often viewed as like not being an integral part, but
like that's a big part of those movies and it
(20:04):
makes it more entertaining. So I probably enjoyed the second
one more upon the first time I watched it. Then
I did Avatar one just because it kind of created
a hype and like when it came out in like
two thousand and nine, and it was also around that
time where everything was coming out and well it started
the trend of everything coming out in three D and
then everybody was like, you gotta make a three D movie.
(20:26):
And I hated that trend because none of them look
that good. I wear glasses, so putting on three D
glasses over my glasses was terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
So I never felt feel like a headache due I
never got the.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Full experience of three D, So I'm glad that went away.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm looking at James camera like his list of movies,
and I really haven't seen a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Besides Avatar. I did see Alita the Battle Angel, and
that was really good. Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I don't think I have.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It was when I was on my trip watching all
the sci fi stuff that I could possibly find because
I was so obsessed with Ready Player one, and it's
actually a really good movie.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Alita is I thin to go watch that one. Not
that you don't have any shortes of movies to watch, but.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
If you're on like a sci fi move, Alita is
a good I'm on like a quest to like fill
in the gaps of movies that I just haven't had
time to get to.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's right, because I'm I'm so focused on watching everything
new that there's a lot of I mean, obviously, every
time somebody asked me if I've seen a movie, it's
like asking if you've seen every single movie ever created,
which I really try to. I've seen like all the pillars,
I would say, but there's always like these movies that
came out, like I'm really bad about eighties movies. That
(21:31):
is like a decade that I'm I just lack in.
Eighties and seventies are probably my weakest. So there's always
like a movie that in that time period that probably
haven't seen. So I'm trying to fill in those gaps,
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Don't feel like there's there's like a lot of people
out there who feel like those are when a lot
of classics are So you feel like, how have you
missed this classic? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Eighties movies, I just can't. I don't know. It's a
weird time.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I totally get it. Okay, we got Rooster from Utah.
This's our last movie question.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Who wants us to name our favorite superhero and our villain?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Ooh's I think that's easy for me. Go for villain
is harder superheroes, hands down, spider Man, that's your guy.
And I also think he has the best villains, but
it's which of his villains is the best. I would
he's kind of an anti hero. I'd go Venom. Venom
has been my favorite villain since I was a kid
because of the nineties spider Man TV show. And I
(22:26):
hate this Venom movie with Tom Hardy because of how
much I love Venom. I feel like they didn't truly
get that character down right, because he is more of
like a vicious character that should have been a rated.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
R movie, which they wasn't it thirteen maybe.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
The first one was R. But it's more so because
of the cursing than it is the violence. Yeah, it's
a little too family friendly for me.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't. I don't know
that I even remember much of what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I watched it, but I couldn't tell you what happened
and it all I know is he had the little
slimy stuff that was on him all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I think it was because of the look of the character.
He looked a little too.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Glossy to me, and he wanted to be more like gritty.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, and it's hard when you make a cgi character
that's supposed to be comic accurate but also like look
good throughout an entire movie. I would have liked a
more realistic approach to Venom than just this big kind
of shiny blob.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, I like it. I like the perspective mine my
superheroes are.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, they're all women, which is awesome because I
feel like if I would have watched this stuff as
a kid, there wasn't a whole lot of that. But
so my superheroes are. They go back and forth between
Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. I love both of them.
Wonder Woman because she's just she has been around from
the very beginning and she's gal Gado in the first
Wonder Woman is like one of my favorite movies of
(23:44):
the DC, Like just really enjoy it. And then Captain Marvel,
which was really cool. When she got introduced into the
whole Marvel universe, I was like freaking out. I was like, Yeah,
there's a woman superhero and she's super powerful.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So I loved that first movie. And villain is the
Scarlet Witch. Mmmm. I just really love her character.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I love that she she fluctuates so much of having
different energy in different times of her life, and especially
like as she finally hit like the really peak of
it and she just went full Scarlet Witch, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I watched.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I love that transition. I love WandaVision also kind of.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Goes back and forth between being a villain and being
a hero.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, like she really wants to be good, but like
life sucks and it's hard and it impacts her really
deeply and I just can relate.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So there are fun superhero and villains.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They are good.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
All right, we're gonna take one more quick break and
we got some more fun questions not movie related.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, Amy from New Orleans would like to know how
could she start running exercise?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like she really wants to get moving, but she like
hates running.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, it's tough. I hate it running when I started.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, so perfect person to ask.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think you start start easy. If you haven't run
it at all, just go outside and get some sunshine,
go for a walk. I think the way to motivate yourself,
and what motivated me was just to have instead of
thinking of it in distance, which I think a lot
of people will think of like I need to run
a mile, I need to run two miles, I need
to do three. Just think of it as time instead
(25:15):
of the distance you want to do, because the distance
will come later. So I say, if you're just getting
started running, instead of saying you're gonna go do a mile,
just say you're gonna go run for ten minutes, and
say fifteen minutes and add on that way, because then
it feels a little bit more attainable that you're just
looking at. Okay, this is the amount of time I'm
gonna have set today. If I'm slow. It's fine if
I'm slow and only do like a mile, great, because
(25:38):
you're gonna get focused on like, oh man, I got
to get more miles in. Then you're gonna push your
body a little too hard and then you're gonna get hurt,
and then you're gonna stop. So I think for me,
that's the advice I would have wanted starting out, because
I quickly became like obsessed with hitting a certain amount
of miles, and it was almost like I cared more
about the miles I was getting than the amount, like
(25:59):
how how good the runs were. So if I could
just focus on the time all the other things that
come with running, you'll have those benefits later.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Kind of like don't look at the numbers on the scale. Exactly,
same concept.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Same concept. That's another thing I don't do anymore as
way myself because it was bad for me.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, it probably like it would send you on a spiral.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I would imagine as somebody who was working really hard
and you're like, why am I doing this?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Laura and Minnesota would like to know our dream dinner
guest and what we're cooking for them.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Oh, I'm gonna go Posty. I'm gonna go post Malone,
and I'm gonna break veganism and have canes with him
because he's a huge canes guy.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Dang only for post you though, I.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Would break a lot of things. I was thinking about
that the other day because I saw like somebody like
and her mind say that started break a lot of
things for like, Yeah, if the opportunity came for many
of things, I guess I'm.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
In with post Malone.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yes, not like just life.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You're talking Posty.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's like, in certain situations, you just gotta go for it.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, now, don't care you're gonna have to tell me
off the mictor you're about to say, Oh, my dream
dinner guest I think would be hmm, there's.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Like three actors that I just love.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I think it'd be Reese Wetherspoon, and I think we'd
have Italian food together because I don't know why. I
just feel like a really fun pasta meal with Weatherspoon
would be amazing. And I could ask her all her
stories about life and talk about Sweet Home Albumics is
my favorite movie, so those are her.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
But I don't know that I would do anything with her.
I'm not quite on your level, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Last one, Abby from Tennessee, wants to know if there
has ever been a moment and you're Bobby Bone Show
Bobby Bone Show career, that you thought you'd get fired.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I think I think I'm gonna get fired every day.
To be audist, really, I just feel that way. I
don't know. It's because of the way I grew up,
where the mentality I have in the industry we live
in that I always just feel like today could be
my last day.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But like even now I get maybe like when you
were starting, but even now, even now.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I still feel it. I feel like any big screw
up that I have, I feel like I'm gonna get fired.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
When a big screw up happens. Are you like overwhelmed
with anxiety?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Oh yeah, I'm already. I'm an anxious person to begin with.
That's like the thing I struggle with the most. So
even like the most minor things of like I like
posted a podcast wrong or something, that's where my brain
goes and I feel, Mike, I feel like I have
like this like a like a mark system, like on
my permanent record, and if I get one more like it,
(28:41):
totlls it up.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Mike, we might need to dive into that at a
different time, but hey, today you're safe.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah. I don't feel like I've had like a major
screw up that was probably like, well, maybe back in
the day when I was still working in Austin there
was an incident that I thought I was done for.
But aside from like Bobby Bone Show related stuff, I
don't think I've ever screwed up so much that I
was really like threatened to be fired for. Yeah, it's
just like normal crap.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I think, like, and maybe you can relate to this.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
More of my anxiety comes from messing up and just
like having to recognize my mess up, like, dang, I
you know I screwed up.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I've gotten better at owning it, yeah, because I think
a lot of the issues I had with it is
early on, I was just figuring out stuff that I
would take every opportunity I was given, just because I
wanted another level of responsibility. And there were some things
I probably didn't know how to do early on, which
was the majority where I did screw up. So there
was also things that I was just never really properly
(29:44):
how to do because it assumed I could do it.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I understand that because it's like you don't want to
be the person that says no, like I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah. Yeah, that was very much the thing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Like when I first started, Bobby'd ask me to do
something on social I'm like, yeah, I know how to
and I'd be like at home, like okay, how do
I figure this out? You know, tried everything I can
to figure it out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I think that's the way I kind of got ahead,
was like I would figure it out eventually.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, it was like there was like a no, Like.
I think that's more some of the anxiety too. It's
like I can't say no. I'm just gonna say yes
and figure it out later.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think that's just the key to succeeding anywhere, whether
you're working radio or wherever. It's not so much about
the person who can do everything, but it's the person
who's willing to learn.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Because I didn't know how to do crap when I started,
but I was just like, I'll figure it out. I'll
learn how to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, you're willing and you're ready. Yeah, eager is the
word there.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's Up Everybody Listener Q and A time Mike d
is with me this weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
You're feeling good money, I am feeling good.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, good, Well, we're gonna start off with some notes.
Monica from Chicago loves all the best bits.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I should just leave it there, but she added, except
for lunchbox, I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
To put it.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
There was something negative coming well.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Normally like I like the notes to be positive, but
you know, there it is. And then Ashley from Arizona said,
no question, but I love Kelsey more Kelsey content.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Which is your wife?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Try to get her on my podcast as much as I.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Can, as much as she'll let you, or as much
as you. Guys both have time for.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Probably both have time for.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well, we're diving in. We got a lot of questions.
I got a whole movie section too. I'm starting off
with it.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Okay, with that, I know, just it give you a
little deep tease.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Shila from California wants to know your favorite alternative band.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Ooh, alternative is an easy way to or interesting way
to describe it, because I don't really classify what I'm
into as alternative, like I'm into punk rock, so I
feel like that's a whole other genre. When I think
of alternative, I think of like the bands I grew
up listening to on the radio, so that's alternative to me.
But alternative has also changed what it is now, Like
I would consider like Billie Eilish an alternative artist. Oh
(01:24):
she gets played on rope right, She's like there too.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
She's a lot of genres.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I'm thinking of in terms of what I know
the category of alternative to be. That's interesting because there's
a lot of good ones.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know, tough questions over here.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I almost go back to like those early two thousands,
and I would have to go Lincoln Park. They fall
in that alternative category. They're probably more like new metal
rap rock, but I feel like that was so massive
back in the day. And whenever I heard their album
Hybrid Theory, which is like their mega one back in
the day, like that was life changing for me.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And what would be your favorite song from them?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Probably I think it's a song that starts off that
album Papercut, just because whenever I first heard that, like
something altered in my brain. And I was also at
the time, like all into like Green Day, Blanquin eighty two,
like those types of bands, But that was like the
one band that I realized, Oh, like, these people are
really good at their instruments. They can sing. There's way
more layers to this. So if I had to go
favorite alternative band, probably Lincoln Park.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right, now, you're gonna be listening to him this
weeking because you put it back in your mind.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna go run to that now.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Sandy in Texas wants to know if you always thought
like Bobby or if this is something you learned over time.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't feel like I've thought like him. I guess
they're they're asking about, like how similar we are.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, because I think Bobby's always like Mike d knows
things before.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So there's two levels of here. There's thinking like him,
of I feel like we've always just been kind of
on the same wavelength as far as how we are
as humans. It's like, outside of the show, we're really quiet.
I think that's why we get together get along so
well together. But there's also the level of this question
of like when did I start to like know how
he works? I feel like that just came with time
of working with him for so long working on the
(03:10):
show and me being one of the only ones who
knows like what we're gonna do and the angles it's
gonna go. I feel like it's really been in like
like the last three or four years where I like
can predict things.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Like before they happen versus after that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, Or I can think in the way that he
is going to think about something and have it prepared,
or even like gear a bit that way of like, oh,
he's probably gonna go here here, we need to have
all this ready. That's I mean, I've been working with
him now fourteen years, so I feel like in the
last four years that has become more of like, Okay,
he trusts me, he knows we're going to think the
(03:43):
same way. There's even a thing now that we've developed
in like the last year or so. Or I can
like express something on my face and he almost knows
like what I'm feeling, Like if there's a situation where
there's like a trivia game being played, like I think
it was like a he just bought like this random
box of true bet cards the other day and we
was just ripping them. Usually I don't get to play
games because I always make the games. But during this game,
(04:05):
I just gave him like looks that I knew the
answers and he knew. So it's also like, so it
goes both ways. Yeah. And the thing about that is
I feel like my vibe in the studio kind of
alters his vibe. Like if I have like a weird
look on my face, like something is wrong, he is
going to be uncomfortable. So I have to be very
kind of conscious of how I look in the studio
(04:27):
and how express things, because if I show any kind
of hesitation or even just like a tone in my voice,
he could feel that there's something off. So it's also like,
during well bits are happening, to kind of give him
some comfort that things are going well. I try to
play that off on my face because it's like this
whole wavelength thing we have going on.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
When I feel like that turn happened because before when
we had our old studio, you weren't in the studio
with us.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, that was like a big thing of me coming in.
I forgot about.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That, and I feel like that's when that happened.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What you're talking about, when that moment happened that you
guys really started to each other, because it sounds like
you guys kind of read each other's energy also, and
it sounds like that really started to happen around that
time when you came into the studio, when we had
the new studio and you had your own space in there,
and that all started to kind of transition that way. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, it was definitely me getting my own corner because
before when I started on the show here, I was
a phone screener, so I was completely separate in the classroom,
and then when I got promoted writer, there wasn't really
a spot for me in the studio. So sometimes I
would be like on this little sliver of the old
desk we sed to have and I'd be in there. But
then whenever we got the new studio and I have
my own space, I feel like that's where.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The mojo really started to kick in.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Just hanging in the corner.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well there you go, Sandy, all right, Kate from California,
I would like to know when you realized your wife
was the one.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think it was pretty early on the moment I
tell her. The moment I realized was whenever I saw
how she was with her family and I think it
was like seeing her interact with her brothers and show
like how much she loved them, how much she prioritizes,
like going to spend time with them because she was
living in Austin at the time and they were living
(06:06):
like forty five minutes to an hour away, but she
would like drive up on the weekends to go to
their games and always just even though she wasn't living
with them anymore, she wanted to still have that big
sister presence. So I remember just going, like when I
met her parents for the first time and her brothers,
that was pretty monumental, and just seeing like how they
were together. I was like, this is it, Like this
(06:28):
is hell, this is what I've been looking for.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So do you feel like there's like one moment they
can really like detail specify where you're like like you
probably already knew had some feelings of it, but maybe
like when you were like, Okay, I'm marrying this person,
like this is the person I'm asking my wife.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It was a combo of that and then whenever I
brought her to meet my parents for the first time,
because I that's a big thing in I don't know,
just Mexan culture or my family of like whenever you
bring somebody around, that's saying that that's the one person.
Like when I have an older brother, older sister. We
never brought boyfriends girl, I mean never had any before Kelsey,
but we never brought boyfriends or girlfriends around that we
(07:07):
weren't like super serious with. That's just how we were. Yeah,
because like you bring around the one and that's kind
of the introduction to the family and then if that
goes well, then yeah, it's it's like meant to be.
So I think whenever I brought her around to my parents,
that was kind of like, okay, this work. Everybody likes her,
everybody gets along. And because I'm so close with my family,
(07:30):
I needed somebody who was also very close with their family.
So the fact that both of our families get along
now is like even better. So it was almost making
sure that all of our families worked together well was
also a big thing. So once we did the meeting
of the two families, that was it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh I love that. Oh, super cute story. Good question.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Kay, Okay, now we're diving into movie stuff, but we're
taking quick break.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Okay, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now. I always get movie questions when Mike is on,
because this is Movie Mike d like he has Movie
Mike's Movie pot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Did I say that right, Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
There was a lot of movie things being said there,
and that's why everybody wants to talk about movies when
you're on here.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I hope that's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Okay, We're starting off with Ryan in Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
He assumes that you have a really crazy at home
movie setup.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Is that the case?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, not the case. I whenever COVID hit, I did
invest in like a bigger screen TV because before that
I had the one that I had since college. It
was maybe like thirty two thirty seven. Yeah, you definitely
that big. Wasn't that high dev But as far as
having like a legit setup, I don't. It's like kind
of my dream to have a house where I have
(08:42):
like a whole movie theater. I like to watch it
in the highest quality possible, which for a long time
I would actually get like Blu rays because it's better
quality than streaming. I am particular about that a little bit,
But I think I've gotten to the point now that
I don't really need that at home. I have like
a soundbar, but it's nothing fancy TVs. Nothing fancy, is
just a bigger screen. And I think it's because I
(09:06):
feel like when I go watch a movie in theaters,
it heightens the experience, and I kind of want to
have a different experience at home of just seeing a
movie that's like it's not really stripped down in any way,
but it's not that same quality. If I had that
same experience, I probably want to go to the theater less.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's fair, That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, so when you get a house, do you think
you'll have like a designated room that's going to be
like you know how people have like guest rooms and stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Do you think your guest room will be like the
movie room?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I think so. Like my wife and I watch House
Hunters a lot, and every time they have a theater
in there, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what. That's like
a dream thing.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
That's the plan. I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
France has wants some current movie recommendations that are on
streaming platforms. Ooh, that's a tough one, I know, and
I didn't really prep you for that. So we're just
diving in because.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
A lot of the Oscar movies that just won those
are not available to stream yet you still have to
pay for them. The last it's a good streaming movie
I watch would probably be you can.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Look at your notes, spiff and talking about some things.
I did watch. Aquaman just came to Max and so
would you think about it? Yeah, so I watched both
of those. Aquaman was fine.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It wasn't anything like I was like, oh, this is
the best movie ever.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It's something to write home about. Like it was visually cool.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But after Black Panther the second one and uh second
Avatar and now this one, I'm like, there's a lot
of underwater things happening. They're all kind of looking the same. Yeah,
it's really more of what I saw.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I hated that movie, did you?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, Like it was like I said, I always love
enjoying watching like a superhero movie.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
But it wasn't anything that I was like, I'm gonna
tell everybody to go watch this. It's free. I watched it.
It's fine, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Like it's one of those I wish I would have
waited for streaming on that one.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, Like that's someone who were like, dang, I shouldn't
have gone to theaters, but Wonka, I.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Did really enjoy I love Wonka.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Like I thought Timothy Shale schallamelle sham so I forgot
half of the loss of his last name.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He was really great as Wonka, like a really good
musical character. I felt like in that role.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, I was hesitant about that one because I'm such
a big fan of the original. I would consider it
one of my top ten movies of all time. Interesting,
and I hated the Johnny Depp version.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And that's that's Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, right, that's
that one. Charlie, Charlie and the Chocolate. Yeah, Okay, this
is all slightly different.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, but I did not like that one so much
that I was worried going into this one because if
they ruined it again, it would like tarnish what I
love about the original one. But since it is like
a standalone story and a prequel, I thought the way
that Timothy Challa May played Wonka like completely different. Like
he didn't try to be what Gene Wilder did back
in the day. He kind of had his own approach
(11:43):
to it, and it was like a different version of
Willy Wonka.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So can you break down for me, because I'm not
super I've seen them all, but I'm not super familiar
with all of them, like what kind of each Wonka
brought to the table.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was the one
back in the seventies, and that was like the introduction
based on the book, and that was Gene Wilde. That's
like really the best. That's the best one because it's
Charlie Bucket, the same classic story of him getting go
to the Chocolate Factor. He's a poor kid, and that
has all like the great visuals, like all the songs,
(12:15):
and it has practical effects and everything that made that
movie great. They completely stripped away in the version with
Johnny Depp directed by Tim Burton, because that one was
like darker, kind of weirder, the Oopa loops. We're all
one character that they just copied over and over, so
it was just the same guy. So that one was
supposed to be more like the book and less like
(12:37):
an adaptation of it, but it really didn't do anything
particularly well and I just hated it. Like Tim Burton's
style is kind of like either like it or you don't.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Isn't he more kind of horrorsh.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like family friendly like Beetlejuice yeah, like, and.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
He did the he does the Nightmare before Christmas?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Is that him?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
He didn't direct that, but he wrote it. A lot
of people think that's like a director, but yeah, he's
that one did like a lot of just like like
the first Batman movie, which was darker, so that's kind
of his style. And he puts Johnny Depp in everything,
So I feel like that wasn't the best choice to
direct that movie. So with this new one, it's just
(13:17):
like it kind of gave me that same feeling of
being a kid again when I watched the first one,
even though it came out like almost thirty years before
I was born.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, and I like to your point now.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That you're talking about too, I remember watching the Johnny
Depp one and I was like, this is really dark,
like Wonka's.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Kind of creepy, very creepy.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But watching the new one, I was like, dang, he's
just a guy who had a really big dream and
he like had a big passion he chased it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, because I mean there are moments in the original
one where he gets a little creepy, a little bit
sinister because he's a little bit more jaded, and the
whole relationship he has was like him going into hiding
for a long time and then opening up the chocolate
factory again. There was that element there. But the Timothy
Shallowmey version is like before he gets that cynicism and
he's like very like bright and like looks at the
(13:59):
world like I want to my chocolate with everybody. But
in the movie, he does have these outside forces that
want to take him down and want to see him
not succeed. So it's like before that fully starts weighing
on him.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
As the version you get, Okay, Okay, that makes sense.
We broke down Wonka of the Plan, but I liked it. Okay,
while I was spending about Wonka and aquamandage.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You have a chance to look at them.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I would say, now that it's on streaming, is Killers
of the Flower Moon because it's a long movie. It's
like three and a half hours long, and it's hard
for me to recommend long movies because people just see
the runtime and they're immediately out. But now that it's
on streaming, if you don't think about it as a movie,
you think of it as a series. I think you
could watch that movie in forty five minute chunks and
(14:40):
you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, So kind of treat it as like a limited.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Series, because that's essentially what it is. A lot of
shows that people love now are limited series that are
like five six episodes long. You're like, I can finish
it all in a weekend. If you treat it the
same way, I think it has the same effect because
essentially what limited series are are just really long movies.
They're like four or five hour long movies. They just
split them up because the way those are formatted, it's
(15:08):
not so much like this is what happens in this episode.
It's just kind of like split up into one story
over a continuous thing, and then that's it. There's no
season two that is a story in its entirety. That's
essentially a movie just fed to you in a different way.
So I really enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon, but
it's so it was so long to watch in theaters
and hard to recommend somebody to go see it. If
(15:29):
you watch it in a smaller, more digestible way, I
think you would really like it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Is she the one who.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Who was it that got not necessarily snubbed at the
Oscars but didn't win when Emma Stone won.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Billy Gladstone was that from Flowers Haarman?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, She's one of the mains in the movie.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, I just I assume I was seeing stuff online
about that because people were upset she didn't win, and
I just didn't know because I haven't seen that movie yet.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Okay, So she kind of did get snubbed.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So a way of in a way, I mean, she
was nominated, which is huge. Yeah, and when you look
at her role in that movie versus Emma Stone's role
in Poor Things, I think Emma Stone's character was just
a more integral part of that movie. I feel like
just screen time alone, it's hard to compare the two.
So I feel like it was really great of Lily
(16:20):
Gladstone to get that nomination also for the representation, and
I think that was kind of the driving force more
of the campaign around her, which would have been awesome.
But if I look at it strictly from a film perspective,
I feel like she would have easily won it. She
would have been nominated for Supporting Actress instead of just actress.
Got it because it's kind of weird the way they
split those because you have Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert de Niro,
(16:42):
and her all in that movie, and it's like, who's
the lead here?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Like yeah, especially when it sounds like they kind of
were all evenly the lead.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, we got Amanda from Norfolk, Virginia. She wants to
know would you ever want to have a role in
a movie?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And Oh, I've been thinking about this because I see
TikTokers who get like roles in an animated movie, right,
like somebody who can develop like a following online reviewing
or talking about movies. Sometimes I'll give them apart just
so they'll like mention it. It's like a promo thing. Yeah,
So I think I would love a role in like
an animated movie, like a real small character. Like I
just went to go see Kung Fu Panda four and
(17:21):
mister Beast was a voice of a character in that movie.
And it's like maybe one two lines, maybe just a
few words, but he's like credited in the movie. He
has an IBB page, Like, I think that would be cool.
So my dream would probably be like whenever they make
another into the Spider Verse movie, have like a small
like like one line, even it's like a voice.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Extra, okay, Yeah, because you love Spider Man, that's your guy.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Anything Marvel, and they're really getting more into animation right now,
especially even if it's a TV series. They're kind of
they also they have like their own Marvel animation department
now that they're like focusing more on kind of like
DC does really great, a really great job in making
animated stuff. Marvel is really just now starting to get there.
So I would take anything in a Marble anything.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
That's okay, that's a great one. Aaron would like to
know three movies that have been overhyped and didn't deliver.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The one that I thought was overhyped for the longest
amount of time that people call me crazy for it
was Bridesmaids. I didn't really like that one when I
first watched.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So that one of your correct me if I'm wrong.
One of your wife's favorite.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Movies that is like her favorite movie of all time,
and she's been the person like, you gotta watch this
movie again. You're missing something here, and I didn't. I
enjoyed it more. But as far as like those types
of comedies, that was never my favorite comedy and people
love that movie.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, it's a really funny comedy though, but okay, so
for that, but for you, it would be overhyped and
didn't delivery.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I thought it was overhyped, okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And what about two others easily.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The first Avatar that was like so overhyped and made
like so much money when it for came out. It
took me longer to even appreciate that movie. But when
I first saw it, I was like, this is boring. This,
this is Dances with Wolves with Blue Creatures?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Interesting take? Did you watch the second one?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I did, and I actually liked the second one a
lot more once I kind of realized the grand scope
of it and like what it really means to cinema
as far as like what James Cameron does. I think
I became more of a James Cameron fan than an
Avatar fan, just because he is responsible for making some
of the biggest, most elaborate movies of our lifetime, and
(19:33):
I feel like I respected it more on just like
this is like, how do you even start making this?
Putting people in these suits? All of his motion capture technology?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
One he had to dream it up too, right, like
I had to be dreamt up.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a movie that I watched, and I can't even
imagine how you begin that creative process because there's so
many things going on, just visually, all the backstory, all
the characters. And then he's also just really great at
making like action and explosions, which I feel like is
often viewed as like not being an integral part, but
like that's a big part of those movies and it
(20:04):
makes it more entertaining. So I probably enjoyed the second
one more upon the first time I watched it. Then
I did Avatar one just because it kind of created
a hype and like when it came out in like
two thousand and nine, and it was also around that
time where everything was coming out and well it started
the trend of everything coming out in three D and
then everybody was like, you gotta make a three D movie.
(20:26):
And I hated that trend because none of them look
that good. I wear glasses, so putting on three D
glasses over my glasses was terrible experience.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
So I never felt feel like a headache due I
never got the.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Full experience of three D, So I'm glad that went away.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm looking at James camera like his list of movies,
and I really haven't seen a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Besides Avatar. I did see Alita the Battle Angel, and
that was really good. Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I don't think I have.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It was when I was on my trip watching all
the sci fi stuff that I could possibly find because
I was so obsessed with Ready Player one, and it's
actually a really good movie.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Alita is I thin to go watch that one. Not
that you don't have any shortes of movies to watch, but.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
If you're on like a sci fi move, Alita is
a good I'm on like a quest to like fill
in the gaps of movies that I just haven't had
time to get to.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's right, because I'm I'm so focused on watching everything
new that there's a lot of I mean, obviously, every
time somebody asked me if I've seen a movie, it's
like asking if you've seen every single movie ever created,
which I really try to. I've seen like all the pillars,
I would say, but there's always like these movies that
came out, like I'm really bad about eighties movies. That
(21:31):
is like a decade that I'm I just lack in.
Eighties and seventies are probably my weakest. So there's always
like a movie that in that time period that probably
haven't seen. So I'm trying to fill in those gaps,
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Don't feel like there's there's like a lot of people
out there who feel like those are when a lot
of classics are So you feel like, how have you
missed this classic? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Eighties movies, I just can't. I don't know. It's a
weird time.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I totally get it. Okay, we got Rooster from Utah.
This's our last movie question.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Who wants us to name our favorite superhero and our villain?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Ooh's I think that's easy for me. Go for villain
is harder superheroes, hands down, spider Man, that's your guy.
And I also think he has the best villains, but
it's which of his villains is the best. I would
he's kind of an anti hero. I'd go Venom. Venom
has been my favorite villain since I was a kid
because of the nineties spider Man TV show. And I
(22:26):
hate this Venom movie with Tom Hardy because of how
much I love Venom. I feel like they didn't truly
get that character down right, because he is more of
like a vicious character that should have been a rated.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
R movie, which they wasn't it thirteen maybe.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
The first one was R. But it's more so because
of the cursing than it is the violence. Yeah, it's
a little too family friendly for me.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't. I don't know
that I even remember much of what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I watched it, but I couldn't tell you what happened
and it all I know is he had the little
slimy stuff that was on him all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I think it was because of the look of the character.
He looked a little too.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Glossy to me, and he wanted to be more like gritty.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, and it's hard when you make a cgi character
that's supposed to be comic accurate but also like look
good throughout an entire movie. I would have liked a
more realistic approach to Venom than just this big kind
of shiny blob.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Okay, I like it. I like the perspective mine my
superheroes are.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, they're all women, which is awesome because I
feel like if I would have watched this stuff as
a kid, there wasn't a whole lot of that. But
so my superheroes are. They go back and forth between
Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. I love both of them.
Wonder Woman because she's just she has been around from
the very beginning and she's gal Gado in the first
Wonder Woman is like one of my favorite movies of
(23:44):
the DC, Like just really enjoy it. And then Captain Marvel,
which was really cool. When she got introduced into the
whole Marvel universe, I was like freaking out. I was like, Yeah,
there's a woman superhero and she's super powerful.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So I loved that first movie. And villain is the
Scarlet Witch. Mmmm. I just really love her character.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I love that she she fluctuates so much of having
different energy in different times of her life, and especially
like as she finally hit like the really peak of
it and she just went full Scarlet Witch, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I watched.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I love that transition. I love WandaVision also kind of.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Goes back and forth between being a villain and being
a hero.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, like she really wants to be good, but like
life sucks and it's hard and it impacts her really
deeply and I just can relate.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So there are fun superhero and villains.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They are good.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
All right, we're gonna take one more quick break and
we got some more fun questions not movie related.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, Amy from New Orleans would like to know how
could she start running exercise?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like she really wants to get moving, but she like
hates running.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, it's tough. I hate it running when I started.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, so perfect person to ask.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think you start start easy. If you haven't run
it at all, just go outside and get some sunshine,
go for a walk. I think the way to motivate yourself,
and what motivated me was just to have instead of
thinking of it in distance, which I think a lot
of people will think of like I need to run
a mile, I need to run two miles, I need
to do three. Just think of it as time instead
(25:15):
of the distance you want to do, because the distance
will come later. So I say, if you're just getting
started running, instead of saying you're gonna go do a mile,
just say you're gonna go run for ten minutes, and
say fifteen minutes and add on that way, because then
it feels a little bit more attainable that you're just
looking at. Okay, this is the amount of time I'm
gonna have set today. If I'm slow. It's fine if
I'm slow and only do like a mile, great, because
(25:38):
you're gonna get focused on like, oh man, I got
to get more miles in. Then you're gonna push your
body a little too hard and then you're gonna get hurt,
and then you're gonna stop. So I think for me,
that's the advice I would have wanted starting out, because
I quickly became like obsessed with hitting a certain amount
of miles, and it was almost like I cared more
about the miles I was getting than the amount, like
(25:59):
how how good the runs were. So if I could
just focus on the time all the other things that
come with running, you'll have those benefits later.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Kind of like don't look at the numbers on the scale. Exactly,
same concept.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Same concept. That's another thing I don't do anymore as
way myself because it was bad for me.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, it probably like it would send you on a spiral.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I would imagine as somebody who was working really hard
and you're like, why am I doing this?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Laura and Minnesota would like to know our dream dinner
guest and what we're cooking for them.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Oh, I'm gonna go Posty. I'm gonna go post Malone,
and I'm gonna break veganism and have canes with him
because he's a huge canes guy.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Dang only for post you though, I.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Would break a lot of things. I was thinking about
that the other day because I saw like somebody like
and her mind say that started break a lot of
things for like, Yeah, if the opportunity came for many
of things, I guess I'm.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
In with post Malone.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yes, not like just life.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You're talking Posty.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's like, in certain situations, you just gotta go for it.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, now, don't care you're gonna have to tell me
off the mictor you're about to say, Oh, my dream
dinner guest I think would be hmm, there's.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Like three actors that I just love.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I think it'd be Reese Wetherspoon, and I think we'd
have Italian food together because I don't know why. I
just feel like a really fun pasta meal with Weatherspoon
would be amazing. And I could ask her all her
stories about life and talk about Sweet Home Albumics is
my favorite movie, so those are her.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
But I don't know that I would do anything with her.
I'm not quite on your level, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Last one, Abby from Tennessee, wants to know if there
has ever been a moment and you're Bobby Bone Show
Bobby Bone Show career, that you thought you'd get fired.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I think I think I'm gonna get fired every day.
To be audist, really, I just feel that way. I
don't know. It's because of the way I grew up,
where the mentality I have in the industry we live
in that I always just feel like today could be
my last day.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But like even now I get maybe like when you
were starting, but even now, even now.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I still feel it. I feel like any big screw
up that I have, I feel like I'm gonna get fired.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
When a big screw up happens. Are you like overwhelmed
with anxiety?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Oh yeah, I'm already. I'm an anxious person to begin with.
That's like the thing I struggle with the most. So
even like the most minor things of like I like
posted a podcast wrong or something, that's where my brain
goes and I feel, Mike, I feel like I have
like this like a like a mark system, like on
my permanent record, and if I get one more like it,
(28:41):
totlls it up.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Mike, we might need to dive into that at a
different time, but hey, today you're safe.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah. I don't feel like I've had like a major
screw up that was probably like, well, maybe back in
the day when I was still working in Austin there
was an incident that I thought I was done for.
But aside from like Bobby Bone Show related stuff, I
don't think I've ever screwed up so much that I
was really like threatened to be fired for. Yeah, it's
just like normal crap.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I think, like, and maybe you can relate to this.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
More of my anxiety comes from messing up and just
like having to recognize my mess up, like, dang, I
you know I screwed up.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I've gotten better at owning it, yeah, because I think
a lot of the issues I had with it is
early on, I was just figuring out stuff that I
would take every opportunity I was given, just because I
wanted another level of responsibility. And there were some things
I probably didn't know how to do early on, which
was the majority where I did screw up. So there
was also things that I was just never really properly
(29:44):
how to do because it assumed I could do it.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I understand that because it's like you don't want to
be the person that says no, like I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah. Yeah, that was very much the thing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Like when I first started, Bobby'd ask me to do
something on social I'm like, yeah, I know how to
and I'd be like at home, like okay, how do
I figure this out? You know, tried everything I can
to figure it out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I think that's the way I kind of got ahead,
was like I would figure it out eventually.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, it was like there was like a no, Like.
I think that's more some of the anxiety too. It's
like I can't say no. I'm just gonna say yes
and figure it out later.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think that's just the key to succeeding anywhere, whether
you're working radio or wherever. It's not so much about
the person who can do everything, but it's the person
who's willing to learn.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Because I didn't know how to do crap when I started,
but I was just like, I'll figure it out. I'll
learn how to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, you're willing and you're ready. Yeah, eager is the
word there.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
