Speaker 1 (00:04):

You have a part of my attention, you have the
minimum amount.

Speaker 3 (00:13):

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Some men just want to watch the world bone.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's see it drinking? Is that because you think you're fat?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Let's rock.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Let's rock today the.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
First time that we're actually back the three of us.
And Chris leaves like during the show open?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Why did you hear him?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I didn't because he.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Well I didn't, but he thought that the mics were off.
MIC's were on while we were playing the open, but
I didn't. I still didn't hear here he is?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
What the hell.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
You want to turn You want to turn your mic
on and explain why you just left during the show open.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Because I wanted to hear the open. I'm not gonna
I want you missed it. I know I'm done now,
but I can play it in my head and hear it,
and that's all that counts. And now I have my headbones.
I feel like Jackson and I.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Are a team.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Well, no, I'm gonna leave, just yes, Anders, and then
I'll leave afterwards, and then they'll all be gone and
then because apparently the three of us no longer want
to do podcasts together. So that's that's the harsh reality.
We don't we don't have Justman here. But this is
Hollywood Weekly. This is sports radio producers talking about something
other than sports because they finally let us have a
podcast talking about something other than sports. My name is

(01:20):
Jackson Feltz. That is Christopher Kidd. Anderson Hurst is now
back in the room after not grabbing his headphones. I
needed a paper because you didn't prepare for our draft.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I did not.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well, that's fantastic. We're going to be doing a draft
of Pixar movies. Molana isn't Pixar, but Molana too, I
should say. But that has kind of inspired the thought of, well,
we should be doing something that we should be talking
about for we've talked about for a while, which is
drafting and talking about our favorite Pixar movies. There might

(01:52):
be some hot takes to go for in this one,
but we have actual new movies.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
To talk about.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Like sure we started this Podcas and I've been looking
forward to like this show because there's actual new movies
that we have seen that we get to review that
we get to discuss and that's.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
A very fun thing.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
So Gladiator two is out, we will talk about it.
Malana two is out, we will talk about it. We'll
also talk about what else we're watching, give our recommendation
for the week, and give of our thoughts on a
trailer that came out, a Disney trailer speaking of a
Pixar it's a Disney movie that they're going live action,
and I think this will be the third straight week Andrews.
We've actually talked about why Disney is doing this action.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Of animated stuff that doesn't need to be done.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
No end it, stop it out there anymore. Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
So there's a new trailer out we'll talk about before
we get to the Pixar draft, but we do begin
with our actual first time we're actually doing a new
movie review. We'll get to Mawana to and that later.
I think the big one that for a lot of
people that just came out is Gladiate to Pau Mescal

(03:02):
opposite of Pedro Pascal.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
You have Denzel Washington in there.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
You have a lot of very big names that have
tried to make this the big movie of the Christmas season.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Christopher, I know you saw it. I saw it as well. Andrews.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Did you see Gladiator two? I did not, and I
have a hot take on that whole thing. I know
everyone loves Gladiator. I think it's one of the most overrated,
the original one overrated in the world.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I am not killing his mic because I am wholeheartedly
agreeing with that.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
What Wow, I'm surprised, Greg Bell, you have allies. The
tables have turned Christopher Kid. Yeah, listen, it's it's a
it's a fine it's it's a fine movie, the.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Greatest things since Sliced Bread.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
And now a lot of people treat it. And let
me ask you, this, is it better than Mel Gibson's film,
which one Brave Heart Brave Hearts like far superior? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I think Brave Heart's better, far superior. Yeah. I thought's
like Brave Heart over Gladiator.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I'm just getting pummeled.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I also, I mean, I've also never been a huge
Russell Crow guy.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I actually like Russell.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Krust and he had a good performance and Gladiator, but like,
at the same time, I just I like Brave I
like the story of Brave Heart better. And I don't know,
I've always been more of a Brave Heart guy.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, and I've heard historically it's just not even close
to correct. Like there's so many things like I'm kind
of one of those guys. Yeah, Gladiator, that's just like, oh,
just wait till we talk about Gladiator. Okay, this is
why I didn't I need to want to see it.
I'm I thought you guys would be just roasting me
for this, but I'm glad you heard me.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Christopher, go ahead, because you may roast both of us.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
No, there's no roast. It's fine to disagree and agree.
I just thought the first one was so good. I
love the story. I got attached to this guy, Maximus
mack Samos got attached. Then I was like, oh wait,
he has a family. And I thought in the second film,
me and Jackson and I disgusted. Did they need to
have a second film?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Probably?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
No, Well the first one was good enough to not
feature a second one. But I think, hell, everything else
is having an extra movie.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, talked about Disney, So man, I mean, gotch.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
If Hollywood isn't just out for the money right now,
I don't know what is because it just seems like
you have this Christmas season and listen, I haven't seen
all the movies that are out there, and I do
want to see some other ones. I mean, there is
some good original content out there. There's a movie called
The re A Real Pain with McCaulay Culkin and I
don't know, Jesse Eisenberg, and that's one that was in

(05:27):
theaters for like, I think it was in theaters for
two and a half days, and then they took it
out of theaters. But it got huge reviews. It looked great,
but they took it out of theaters instantly. Well I
don't know why, because a lot of I think these smaller,
you know, production companies, they don't have the run and
then necessary budget to put a film in theaters for
so long. So a movie like There A Real Pain

(05:49):
comes out gets huge reviews, and then despite that they said, well,
we didn't have the budget, so it's gone. And now
I figure out whatever streaming service it goes to. But
there's original, good content out there. Yeah, But the big
budget ones, the ones that are getting you know, all
the hype and all the run, it's just I find
myself asking why.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I'm with you on that. It's yeah, that's that was
kind of my thought presence going into Gladiator too, like, Okay,
I'm not expecting him to blow my socks off, because
I kind of was in the first one.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I would the bar was at very high. Are we
what's our what's our ruling on spoilers?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
By the way, as we start to do our official review,
since he hasn't seen it, I know, oh I I think.
I think we go kind of non spoilery for a
few minutes and then we go into spoilers.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
The other thing is, I think, up till now, we've
done things in terms of spoilers with stuff that's pretty old,
like at least five or six years old. Uh, this
isn't a month, this is new exactly, So anyone who's
listening may have been undecided.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, so we will not spoil it for you.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah I would.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I would just because Anderson, you bought a good point.
This is a month month in Andy be a listener
is like, we'll screw you guys.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I couldn't wait.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
No spoilers, but I will say back to marginal point
about yeah, go ahead, being excited to see it, just
because okay, what are they going to do?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And they did some things and I'm like, eh, no, Like.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Jackson and I were talking about a scene where they
brought out these prehistoric creatures, and I'm like, huh.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
There's there's cgi monkeys and and and when I say like,
so here's this is it's it's not a spoiler.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
When you see them, you're like, okay, oh no, they
just looked. I don't know if they I don't know. Yes, yes,
that's the way out of place. They're out of place.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
And that the problem is when they showed up Like
I was, honestly, I was into the movie just mentally, and.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I try all sure, but I try to I try to.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Just stay mentally in a film and don't separate and
don't think about outside life, et cetera, et cetera. And
when when cgi monkeys pop up over my screen or
whatever the hell they were popcorn, I just like I
just I got taken out of it, Like I almost
I wanted to, like, you know, bring out my phone
and just take an immediate notice, just saying what the.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Hell is this? And when a movie?

Speaker 4 (08:06):
And then at that point, once I have that thought,
my thought goes to what am I going to have,
you know later tonight when I get home, et cetera,
et cetera. You start to my brain starts to, you know,
take myself out of the movie, and no movie should
do that. And no movie should do that because they
throw in some CGI animals that looked like crap and
were totally out of place.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
The rhino scene made up for it, though.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, so that's funny you mentioned that because I was
thinking about the other day about specific moments where I've
been watching a movie and been into it and then
like something that immediately takes you out of it.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah. Yeah, that was one of those scens I did.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
But I thought I did a good job of if
it was that bad, we're gonna mask it over with
a lot of action and other great stuff for you guys.
And I thought they kind of rebounded because they had
a scene in there where I'm like, did that really
take place?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Because that is interesting.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I didn't do any googling and researching afterward, but it
had me thinking when they filled up the.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Ring, okay, so we can don't that's in every single trailer.
When they filled up the Colisseum with water and they
put sharks in there.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And I was like, okay, no, I don't know, but
it seems like there was a probability they could have done.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
They didn't bring sharks into the Colisseum.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, you're just going to catch them. I don't think
it's I know, okay, this is this brings up a
good point. What are you guys looking for from that movie?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Are you looking for? I did historically, that was the thing.
The first one I thought was good. I didn't need
to google anything to know that the Colosseum they were
killing each other in there for sports. And then the
second one came out. I'm like, okay, I know what
they're doing, but now they're adding huh.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
I Like in the in like the prep things, they
were like, okay, but more, bigger, more, kind of like
the Jurassic Park. It was fine when it was in
the when it was on an island, and now you're like,
you know, let's bring it into the world. No, no, no, no,
we don't need dinosas with humans. I think that wouldn't work.
They got wiped out for a reason. So to the
call and Sum thing, it was like, Okay, I know

(09:56):
what they're doing, but why are you now adding c
g I things? Why are you now do we need
water with sharks unless you got a megalodon in there?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I just you know, maybe it didn't fit.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well, I don't know if it did fit. And then
that brought up to my question about was that something
that they did, because that would have been kind of crazy.
You know, you pull it in the vent, they're like,
oh my god, we got sharks today. Maybe and you know,
the guys are fighting for their lives and this is insane.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I could see them filling it up with water. I could.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I could see that, But then, what do you mean
how I mean, they've done so many other crazy things
the Pyramids.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't know. I feel like the Roman Empire could do.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I could fill it up basically catch They can catch fish, right,
so if you can catch a fish, you can catch
a shark.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now you just bring sorry, what if you can catch fish,
you can probably catch that sounds right out of Dodgeball.
You can catch a.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Ball. It's accurate, though, I mean no, Eventually, I just
I don't.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
I just struggle on aquarium. Are there as many sharks
as there are fish? There's a reason for why not?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
You know, I'm sure they can if they really, I
guess we can just hop on the Google and look
it up and see. I could tell you right now
they didn't catch sharks and the like the Roman times.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
And.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Did they catch tigers and lions and do that? Yes,
because that is much easier to do they're on the ground. Hey,
I'm I'm no catching Okay, catching sharks is one thing.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Whatever, fine, but like to put in a movie you
way to transport it fell like the Coliseum of the Water.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I still don't logistic. I didn't watch it. I don't logistic.
You know, I'm guaranteeing you. One of the directors of
producers probably did their research. And maybe they did Ridley Scott.
I want to say, just maybe it is just added
flair and that never took place. But these guys are
usually good at going out, going about and doing their
research historically and saying, oh they found fishbones.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I don't know. Maybe there was a gihnny shark and
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
That's that's where it did. It did make me wonder, like.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, was that really needed?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It was cool.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
There's times where I can tell when they do their
research and they do extra and but they still.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Like, yeah, but that's not cool enough. I need something more.
It felt like it happened in this Okay. A better
example is Fast and Furious every see every time they.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Hold on it's like this designed that one, and that's
what you're expecting from Fast and Furious. You're not going like, Okay,
I want to ground it in reality, Like, oh, I
mean they sent me to the moon, all right, exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I do want Gladiator and Gladiator too. I wanted them
to be a little bit grounded in reality, a little bit.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
And that's why I was so disappointed in the first one,
because I wanted to, like pretty, it doesn't have to
be exact historical fact, but I want something where it
feels like I'm in that moment in history.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
It just didn't for me.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I think we can talk about a couple specific points
from this movie that don't spoil anything. Denzel Washington, for me,
steals the show. Okay, Denzel Washington, I think I think
he's he's sort of he is supposed to be the
villain coming at Chris is holding up two hands.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm not sure what he's saying.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
When it comes to the coliseumc Battle and Gladiator too.
Scott is surprisingly not deviating too far from history. A
form of ancient Roman theater was called machia, in which
sea battles were stayed for entertainment, either in basins where
battles had already taken place or flooded amphitheaters. Okay, convicts,
convicts or prisoners of war would face off against soldiers

(13:13):
into one side was the winner. So the sharks are
probably added pow.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
But they did do so your point, the thing that
makes it over the water's fine. They did that, great historian,
but you don't need the sharks. Yeah, yeah, okay, So
moving on Denzel Washington Chris. For me, I thought he
he was amazing. Obviously he I think it's a spoiler
to to talk too much about the point and how.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
They how they completely position as character.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
But I think the way that they do Denzel and
then the acting from Denzel Washington, like for a while,
I had kind of thought that Denzel's kind of lost
his luster as a Hollywood leading man, you know, given mind,
like it's been it's been a while since he was
like a leading man in a major movie, equaliser three,
major movie, major movie.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I would I would not call that major movie.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Okay, he's talking like so like like like Blockbuster, yeah exactly,
like it's been an to the theater and like, oh
my god, it's been a minute.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Since Denzel Denzel was the star of a blockbuster and
and even then he I mean, like you have you know,
Paul Mezcow and you have Pedro Pascal, two of the
hottest people in Hollywood right now that are just wanted
for absolutely everything. Uh and and honestly, like they're completely outshined.
And I think they're they're they're solid enough and they
do a solid job. But I think phrasing very carefully here.

(14:37):
I just think Christopher that that Denzel washing in this
completely brought my faith back that he can be a
a kind of guy that you can do a whole
movie around, because a lot of this movie felt completely
around his character.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
He started off okay, and by the end you're like, God,
damn it, Denzel, I don't know how you do it.
He do it again pretty much. But that's just again
I'm big on development of characters. You see the development
of his character, Like when you first see him, you
get he's hustling. Okay, I'm a hustler too. We get
it by the end of THEILM like you sly something, Okay,

(15:16):
that's what you were up to.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Their tireful.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
So I thought it was a really good contrast of
Good and Evil with him and I enjoyed the film, Jackson.
I do agree they probably didn't need They didn't need
to make a second one. It was fine after the
first one. But as Jackson mentioned earlier on the show,
can we get some more bread here?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Do you feel like you gained something from watching that movie? No?
Do you feel like it wasn't a two hour waste
of your time? You know, it wasn't a waste of
my time.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
No, neither of me neither.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
But I just didn't see the need for it to
bring a second one, just because you're entertained.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
I was.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I was entertained. Jackson and I were entertained. I was
entertained for most of it.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
But you just I just felt, okay, well, good movie.
So now you're like a third one, which are they
talk I would give it.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I would give it a I'd give it a sixty four.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
They're already in talks. So and that shows that a
lot of the fan base is okay with it, which
is fine. You know, this was this movie. The first
movie came out almost twenty four years ago, two thousand,
was it? So twenty four to twenty five years ago?
That is a new generation of kids that are going
to see the first Gladiator because you know.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
And I do like the way they do connect it,
and I think I think it's sometimes too much, but
they do a nice job of like saying, hey, listen,
you are watching Gladiator too, You're not just watching a
you know.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah. And another thing is they did a good job
of the main character in his story and how it
relates to Maximus, which is like a weird spin because
I'm like, well, huh, that had me wondering.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And that's Paul Mescal's character, thank you.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Correct, Yes, he's the main I would say Joseph Quinn
as the Emperor was I like Joseph Quinn as an actor.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think I thought he did a decent enough job.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
But I think at the end of the day, like
as as decent to Pedro Pascal feels a little bit wasted,
palms called you know, it just ends up feeling like okay,
because and mostly it's just because Denzel shined that.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Much that does surprise me. He's one of my favorite actors.
I do wonder of the historical. This is where I
get into the historical like take out of it sort
of thing happens to us all man, how often I mean,
we're I mean I struggle to see how a black
dude would be in that position in Roman.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Times during this time. Yeah, money, they didn't care about
your skin color. It wasn't as maybe I'll do some
research on it. Yeah, if you had money, it was like,
well you're a position of power. Yeah, now obviously its power.
They they established him as a powerful dude. It wasn't
more so like oh, you're black, but he's supposed to
be picking cotton. Roll was this was before all that,
Like they still had slaves, but white people were slaves. Okay,

(17:47):
so it just I mean they had gladiators for this
exact reason. Yeah, money rolls all, yeah, you had no power.
You lost in battle, so now we want you to
fight other people, go do it. Whereas with Denzel's character,
he was just powerful and was hustling. Yeah, so they
saw him as a figure and we're like, yeah, you're
doing your.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Thing, you know, are you numbers guy? Likely ratings wise?
Uh here and there. For me, it's it's six sixty
four out one hundred, I give it seventy five. That's far.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, that's I think it's a movie you would probably
enjoy Anderson, but you'll have you'll have more questions like Jack.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
For me, I dropped I drop it by about ten
points because of the CGI monkeys there.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
You go just completely took me. When the added sharks,
I gave it ten points. See, and that's just a zero.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
So there's our difference. I'm like, really, okay, fine, And
then I just googled and it was like, eh, they
might have you know, did a little extra, but they
did have water in Yeah, So so just the interesting
that's interesting. So speaking of the CGM sixty.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Six because that they did have water.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
One more uh, speaking of the CGM monkeys, I'm wondering
if you guys don't. It's fine as we didn't prepare
for this part, but I have a specific one in mind.
Is there a moment in any other movie where you
just feel like, all right, I'm taking out of it now,
this one sucks.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
That's a tough one, Innerson. I have to go back
into my archive movie. Yeah, that's a that's a really
good question.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
We might have to. Okay, we can.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
It's a conversation, the one for me, the one I'm
thinking of, and this might generate some discussion because I
know there are some strong feelings about this.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
I just thought of one, this is gonna get spicy quickly.
But I wonder if you're gonna say it, he's gonna
say it.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I don't know what it is though.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Steppenwolf in Justice League.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Oh no, but that's not that I've seeing a different
comic book. But that's interesting, you know, I could see
why go ahead?

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Like the I actually love the build up in the
first like third to almost half of the movie, and
then once the main villain got uh introduced, I was
just like, what in the name of God? And I
was completely taken out of it like that. That is
one of the biggest instances where I have really enjoyed
the first part of the movie, but then one aspect

(19:55):
of it, or it wasn't even one scene because every
time he's on the screen, I just start laughing and like,
oh my god.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Isn't there a funny scene in that?

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, there's a lot of them. There was one scene
that I can't use. I'm weirdo, and I get that
it's better in the Snyder cut too. It's not as weird.
The CGIs eh uh, thanks a lot of sach Yeah,
but also just like the stuff he says, he's always
just like mother talking to the mother box or whatever,
and it was just like weird, it was it was

(20:24):
really good.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Very what was the one you were thinking of?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Uh So in Avengers, it's not incessily a negative thing.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
An Avengers endgame when they're in the final battle against
Thanos and you have I think, I think Spider Man's
on the grab ground holding the gauntlet and then Captain
Marvel is like, hey, can I have that? And he's like, oh,
you're gonna need help, and all the female characters come
behind Captain margle and and and say she's got help,

(20:50):
and it's just it's clearly a women's empowerment, you know,
moment right there, And it's not a negative thing. It
just took me out of it where I'm where I'm like, Okay,
I see I see what they're doing there. But for
my brain to be able to take the moment to say, yeah,
I see what they're doing there there, they went for that,
and that takes me out of it for five seconds.
And it's not necessarily a negative thing. It just took

(21:11):
me out of it. And I don't like when I'm
taking out of movies.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, I'm with you there there.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
There's those instances too where you feel like something is
forced and it doesn't feel like it's natural to the story,
and you know what do that and.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
The show you recommended, those sex scenes didn't fill for no,
the sex thnes I'm talking didn't. Season season did they didn't? Okay,
season two they fell forced a little bit. But then
season one, season one, you're like, oh, that's Heason one
and season fourth so tremendous. But yeah, I think, hmm,
I don't know, I don't you can rethink that.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
I know.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I kind of a good question. That was Sometimes it's
pots for you know, deep thought, But yeah, I like
that question. Hopefully I'll have something for everybody the end
of the show. Because that was damn Jackson or Anderson.
You got me stump there. I realized that Jackson is
now sexist.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
That's okay, and.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
That's not That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It took me out of the.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Movie totally.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
About that.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
There's ways you can have better representation in movies seem
not forced, and that's when it's like really really well done.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
So and that that wasn't one of those moments when
you're playing mad in it instead of always using the
hit stick. Sometimes you just need a conservative tackle. Click exactly, Okay, great,
great comparison.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I want to quickly get to want To because I
think I'm the only one who saw us. Yes, and
then we'll move on to what we watched this week
in our recommendations. Uh, I'll be very quick with ma
wanted To, and because I think the conversation is a
very similar in the sense of it just feels like
a Hollywood money grab they didn't need to make number two.
Number one was a very consolidated, tight story. It felt

(22:54):
very deep with all of what they were trying to do.
And you know, for for you know, lack of a
better term, Malana Tu feels like shallow waters compared to
the deaths of Malana one. Is what I kind of
the first thing I wrote coming out of there.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
It's just Molana.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, you know they call Maana one. We know what
you mean.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
It's like, you don't say toy story one. He say
toys Ca.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
That's a fair point, you know what we get. So
it was interesting coming out of the theater because I
saw it. Did you say, Jackson, you see the day
of that it came out, No, I sing I saw
on the Friday, so the day after it came okay,
fair enough, and the theater was packed, and like more
than seventy five percent of the theater was kids under
eighteen and and walking out of that theater like they're
all singing the songs, they're all like, oh my gosh,

(23:35):
that was amazing, and I'm kind of like, well, you
aren't critics yet, yeah, but listen, I have more of
a critical eye, and I can say, like, listen, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
It's just it's very shallow.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
And the songs went from an A in Mawana to
about a C C minus in the story is again,
it's fine. Find is probably a good word for this.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
They introduced some new side characters who are very prevalent
throughout the movie, and the side characters are just meaningless
plot devices, and in many cases I think they're bad.
They're specifically like a historian that they add who's just
an absolute zero to the story, Maui. This isn't too
much of a spoiler, but Dwayne Johnson's character Mali only

(24:20):
shows up about halfway through the movie, which feels very
off from a character that was kind of the second
star of the show. In the first one, they introduced
a sister, which was kind of the emotional crux of
the film, and she's in it for probably a total
of ten minutes. They needed a lot more. I thought
of the sister to add some of that deep emotional component.

(24:44):
If I say that it, I would give that away.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
My wife had it.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
We saw it together. She had a take that I
texted a couple people who also saw it, and they said,
that is one of the worst movie takes I've ever heard.
When you guys seem on it two. Eventually I'll share
it with you. But something happens that the end of
the movie that my wife thought should go a completely opposite,
horrifying direction, and it would have added a big emotional

(25:06):
component where there was a total lacking emotional component to
this movie.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, and I agree with you.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
This sin said they needed something else to make time
emotionally invested. There was a climax, but it just wasn't
an emotionally invested climax, so it leaves you feeling very,
very shallow. They introduce other characters that they don't bring
full circle at the end of the day. Sounds like
light Year the animation. Oh that's an interesting comparison a
little bit. I liked light Year a little more than

(25:33):
I liked this one, But I think for me, I'm
going for about sixty eight on this. It's about the
same as Gladiator too, because at the end of the day,
they both just feel like money grabs that weren't needed,
and they knew that a lot of people were going
to go to them because of their predecessors. But it's
just like, I hate to lean on. Can we come
up with some new ideas because there's a lot of

(25:55):
really good ideas. I mentioned a real pain, but if
a sequel does not have a G story, let's just
not do a sequel, please, I can please Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I completely agree.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Moana is actually one of my the original Malana is
actually one of my favorite Disney movies in their entire cattle.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I couldn't agree with more.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's it.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
It hits all the right notes. The songs are fantastic,
It's an awesome coming of age story, and I was
actually really looking forward to Moana too, and I read
the reviews and I'm not seeing it.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
It's funny because you mentioned that I think maybe the
first show about like you read reviews and it changes
the way you think, and like, if I had read
the reviews first, I probably wouldn't either. But the songs, really,
that's probably one of the big things that the emotional
impact of the first one was really deep, And a
lot of the reason why is because I thought the
songs were tremendous by Lynn Manuel Miranda.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Lynn Manuel Mirnda is not involved with Mowana too. He
didn't do the song really and you feel it deeply.
They're just they're they're nah songs. Nothing.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
I don't remember a single song. I remember one song
from from the whole movie where I remember probably four
songs right now from the first one.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, off the top of my head.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
And all the stuff you said was stuff that wasn't
the case in the first one because there was an
emotional emotional climax in the first one. You were invested
in the characters. It felt like they didn't they didn't
need to add all these little side characters. You just
had basically Mowanna and Maui and their connection and their
their developments as people and characters, and that's all you needed.

(27:27):
And they were so confident in that that it worked.
It worked so well. You don't need all these other
aspects and it went that way. Yeah, that's that's really
disappointing to me. Unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
I would say for any fans of the first one,
don't spend your money on the second one and just
wait for it on Disney Plus.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
See. This is why.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Okay, I like Moana as a quote unquote franchise. It's
not a franchise. But I'm saying that's the series of
movies more than Gladiator. I am more likely to see
Gladiator too than I am to see Mowanas. I think
that's very fair because like, okay, I'll just go, you know,
I'll be entertained for a little bit, watch some you know,
romans fight each other, and you know, maybe a good score.

(28:05):
That's the one thing I'd missed about Gladiator one. I
actually think the score is really.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Just talked about you or Jackson saying Moana one and
you just said Gladiator one.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
No work switch because because I just want to specify
this time. Okay, Oh, I see you're talking about the
score of mo Wana one. No, No, I'm talking about
the score of Gladiator.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
He's getting mad at me for saying Gladiator one instead
of Gladiator. Ad It's it's fine. Anyways, But Moana, I,
because of everything I've seen and now hearing someone I
trust and you talk about it, I am very unlikely
to see it.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's sad.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
It's sad because I think you could have just allowed
one to live on its own, as.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Like there's a natural continuation of the story where there's
more to tell. There's no reason to do it.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
I will say there will be a ma Wana three.
I can almost guarantee with everything I own that there's there.
There's there's three.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
And I just wish that.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
We'd take the kid to go see it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Jackson, Yeah, that's that's what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Doesn't even something he wants to do that look at Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I get it, Like, okay, I wait to reveither read
the reviews next time.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
So I kind of sort of understand these ones because
these movies are, whether we talk about them or not,
they're for kids. Yeah right, I don't seem to enjoy it,
and I enjoy it. It's it's like I think, personally,
I think Frozen is incredibly overrated, even the first one,
but everyone loves it. All the kids love it. I mean,
it's so I I understand it. Like there's the there's

(29:35):
these elements. Uh and I not like like Pixar and
regular Disney like animation movies. There's there's a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I really really like.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
I I personally didn't like Frozen that much, but that's
that's just me.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
But I think it's fair.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, moving on, do you want to get the draft?

Speaker 5 (29:49):
You know?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I feel I feel like, oh, we should do recommendations.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Well yeah, I kind of we want to just continue
the iginations at the end.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, so let's just continue the Disney conversation and slide.
I didn't do our draft of Pixar because obviously ma
Wana Tu mentioned is not Pixar, but it it is.
It is, and it is fantastic animation. There's a reason
why I grate it so high, the animations out of
this world. So with that said, a Disney, Pixar, specifically Pixar.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Chris did a great job last time.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Now do you Yeah, I was gonna say, do you
understand what Pixar is? No, how to Train your Dragons?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Not Pixar. I would I've never seen it, so I
won't have it on my list. Okay, random number generator
is you know what is on my list? Finding Dor. No,
I'm kidding. It's not on my list.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
It is Pixar though, so I okay, don't spoil your list.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Random generator. Here, we're gonna start with Anders.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Anders you are going first, second, Chris, you are going first,
and I will go third.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
All right, well, I get the pick of the litter.
I will take Toy Story.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, and I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not
sure what more explanation you need, but go ahead.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, there's none needed. That is when it came out,
I was five years old. If I'm not mistaken, excuse me.
I had just turned four years old. Like, I didn't
remember seeing that four but I remember the first time
I saw it. I said, I watched in your Wheelhouse.
It was just I'm a kid, and I now know
what it's like to be a toy or do I?
So I really enjoyed that film. It was and every

(31:28):
time you watch it now that I'm old, it's still good. Still,
It's not like it's not like, oh man, I'm like
thirty one, I'm gonna watch this Toy.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Story so well, and can we talk about the music
of Toy Story? Wanting me Randy Newman?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I mean we'll get applause. Okay, we'll get into it.
But that's a take about that. Hold on, that's just
the music of Toy Story. Yeah. Wait, is it a negative?
It's a very positive.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Just a great film.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
It just touched on so many things you can learn
as you grow older, whether it's friendship's relationships, you name it,
if it has a ship in the end, Toy Stories
for you, it's just like it.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
It's the classic. I think it's the it's far and away.
So we did our score draft. Wasn't the Florid of
the Rings number one? And wasn't it the first Pixar
film relief? There was ye set the town Man? It
really did.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Honestly, would Pixar be where it is without toy Sto?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Absolutely, because what.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Came after that? What was the second movie?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Bugs Life?

Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's my number two?

Speaker 1 (32:21):
That was number two?

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Then Toy Story two is number three.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I wasn't Bugs Life is pretty damn good. But the
biggest thing is how awesome is it to have a
movie like Toy Story set off your franchise and then
it just bang bang bang and bangers for free? And
I can't wait? Like I know that, Yeah, I know
it's been like, eh, but Toy Story far was in.
But Toy Story five it got to the fore front

(32:44):
and you're like, it was like the ending, like that's
that made sense?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Itses it was.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
Perfect, and it drives away to call it. Yeah, I
mean look at that, you're seeing the growth. Dude, they
can exist. Okay, well hold on, well we'll wait till
we get to that movie. Okay, Okay, So again, this feels.
This feels as solidified at number one and so far
of a gap as Lord of the Rings was for
scores s. I think Lord of the Rings was so
far away number one, and I think Toy Story is

(33:08):
also so far and away number one.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Good pick.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I will say Toy Story was number two on my list.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I can easily guess what you're what Your number one
is gues Toy Story two, No incorrect Cars, Toy Story three.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
It's CoCom.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
That is the most I have ever cried in any
movie I've ever seen, Like talk about something that hits
you in the most perfect emotional notes at the most
perfect time, with the most perfect score. It's It's Pixar's

(33:46):
magnum opus. I think the representation, the story, the music,
the animation, it. Everything is so so cool, and it
tells you, It teaches you something about a holiday that
is not routinely celebrated here for white Americans, and it's

(34:09):
it's I'm telling you, man, it's It's the most I've
cried in any movie I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
The emotional connection to And I think I think where
some Pixar Disney movies decide to focus on one specific
family member that they're holding on to. The cool thing
about Coco is that it grabs you from all these
different family connections because he has these relationships with all
these different family members. So no matter no matter who

(34:36):
you personally may have had a deep connection with your
own family, you're going to be able to look into
that movie and see his connection with that person in
his family.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
And there's ways to relate to it with family trauma. Uh,
there's ways to relate to it with you know, it
may be a possible sickness in the family, and not
to mention probably it's debatable, probably the best twist.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
At the end, good twist we can you can spoil
it at this point. No, I saw year.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
I want I want anyone who hasn't seen it to
go see it without that knowledge because it is I
was mind blown. Usually you can kind of see twists coming,
especially in Pixar movies, it's like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's understandable.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
This one I had no idea was coming.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Remember Me is also one of the single best Disney song.
I think it's and the whole idea that the end
you live, you live as long as the last person
who remembers you. I mean when that guy on the
boat passes, or the forget the guy who no, no,
not ector, the guy who actually disappears, who actually dies

(35:47):
afterlife and you actually see him fade away because the
last person who remembered him finally died.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
I mean that that moment was like, oh god, damn it,
he went there.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
It's existential, man, and that that's what makes the Cocoa
I think picks Magnum Opus. It's their best, their best film.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
It's a great movie. Great movie.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
My first pick is Finding Nemo. Oh wow, Finding Nemo.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
For me is right below Toy Story. I actually also
have Toy Story at number two, but for my I
my number one. I think I can get later in
this draft A right, he's going to risky pick here.
I'm going I'm going my number three movie and my
number four movie here on this turnaround. So I'm going
to Find Nemo with number one. I think the music

(36:30):
of Finding Nemo.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Uh, it's for me.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
In terms of score. It's so funny because we talked
about the score of Toy Story. It is a lot
of songs, Randy Newman. The score of Toy Story, I think,
or sorry, the score of Finding Nemo. I think it
is right up there alongside maybe a tiny bit below
Inside Out as one of the best scores in Disney history.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, because there's a difference because Coco's music is a soundtrack,
actual music, right, Yes, it's not the score exactly. Finding
Nemo is the score.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
It's the score of Finding Nemo.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I mean we we had I think I forget which
song at our wedding, but one of our wedding songs,
either walk In or the Walkout, was the theme of
Finding Nemo. Cool, and it's just such this this really
beautiful pieceful. We almost did it as our wedding dance
because it's just I think it's a beautiful piece of music.
But also the story in itself, you know, just adventure,
the adventure, the friendship, the twists and turns.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
I thought.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
I thought all of the voice actors did a tremendous job,
made you feel the emotion at every stretch, really good humor.
I touched the butt is just it's something. It's something
my wife and I say, like to this day, like
almost almost every other day, we'll say I touched the button.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
That's an underrated aspect of movies is quotable lines that
you can just you know that you just say without
any sort of context, just like I.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Touched the butt exactly.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
So finding nemo for me on the wrap round. Maybe
this one isn't high up for a lot of people,
it's very high for Wally, is very very high. So
Wally's gonna be my second pick there, the first pick
of the second round. Wally a lot of it's just
the story. I am a huge sci fi nerd. I mean,
my my top three favorite movies are all sci fi movies.

(38:15):
I'm a big sci fi guy. And it really is
Disney's big step into the sci fi world. And I
thought they did it extremely well from how they kind
of set up the universe. Within the first twenty minutes
of you know, Earth is gone, It's just dead and
and you know this robot who you very clearly understand
is a robot, but you feel for this so much

(38:36):
emotion for this robot in human like yes. Build it
all through to the shipping outer space and the music
again I think is very very good. At is very
scientific and robotic, and they match the music. The dancing
in space scene. I thought the music for that was.
It was also on our wedding playlist. It's just fantastic Wally,
for the story, for the music, and just for how

(39:00):
they were able to tell such emotion through such little
dialogue for so much of the movie.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
I think Wally is for me my number four Disney Pixar.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Wow, I honestly thought that'd be your number one. It's
high up for me. I'm glad you took it because
you can have a little bit more of a personal
connection with it than I do. I just think it's
just a really good movie. I like the aspect that
he there's it feels like there's more emotion with him
a robot than there are with a lot of the
humans on it. I think that was really cool and

(39:34):
just what it is to the emotional parts hit as
we always talk about when Eve is trying to get
him to wake up that whole situation. That that was great. Yeah,
I agree with you one hundred percent. It's one of
their best movies. I have an incredibly hard choice. I
have my number two and number three movies on the board,

(39:57):
and I am afraid that they're not going to be
the second one won't be available.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
I honestly do not know. I like both these movies
basically equal amount, and I could talk about both of
them for days.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I'm gonna go with.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I think of what's available to you.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
God, this is the This is about as long as
any we've seen any I can't draft. This is like
the NFL draft where a clock's gonna touch and then
it automatically goes to Chris.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Auto draft or he traded his picks out. I'll do
the Dwight shoot three two one ratituy. I'm taking Ratituey
with my second second pick, which is what fifth overall?
One two three four, five, yeah, five five overall. I

(40:53):
just think if you're looking at forms of art, this
is where you can really kind of tell they got
very creative with it. It's a rat trying to cook,

(41:13):
and that's his form of art. That's his passion, that's
what he wants to do, and you could tell that
represents making movies for these filmmakers. It's like, that's what
making a movie is for them, right, And I feel
that through the entire movie, and I honestly it's the

(41:34):
actual story is good. I don't think and this is
a rare thing for me. I don't think it's a plus.
It's not the best part of it. But similar to
La La Land. For me, when I saw that, I
just felt like I finished that movie and I was like,
that's art.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
That's a great comparison, that's art.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Yeah, I just felt like that was a piece of
art that someone made for me to just enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Because I'm not a big Ratitude fan, but I think
you put it like that, and like, I'm not a
big Law law Land fan, but I think you appreciate
both as fantastic works of art where they deserve awards
and they deserve the accolades because it was clearly, you know,
given so much effort into all of these different moments.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Also, Michael Giacchino, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Was gonna say the score once again, fans, I like
to score more than the movie. Yeah, And but It's
a weird one for me because I'm normally about emotional
and character and everything, and that isn't as strong part
of Rattitui as I would like it to be. But
it actually makes sense because it's just a work of
art and it represents what making movies should be about,

(42:39):
and we don't see that often enough nowadays.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
I like to pick.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah, Chris, you know have back to back with your
second round and third round picks.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
All right, Well, now it gets real fun. Gosh, there
really is.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
There really is kind of like a a for me,
an upper tier, and I've now crossed over that upper
tier and into the second tier.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
So besides you really besides your number one overall.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Which I'm saying my last pick yet.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Second, but you don't think anyone else could take? I
don't think, so I will go ahead and take Soul.
I thought, Oh, it's a great, great pic that movie. Man,
you want to talk about tears and your eye? Yeah,
like man, a man that's looking for his passion, because
we all, in some form or fashion look for our passion.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Yeah, And it just took death for this guy to.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Realize, Oh, I'm missing out on a lot more than
my passion and that's life itself, and he took it
for granted, but once he realized the sole aspect of
things and life.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
And that scene, the scene where he does start to
appreciate with the movie the leafs it's the leaf falling,
and I believe there's a moment where, like for about
thirty seconds, it just cuts all sound and it just
plays the sounds of New York City and the sounds
of the street and the sounds of the wind and
the sound of the leaves, and in that like thirty seconds.
That that thirty seconds has stuck with me because unfortunately

(43:51):
this movie came out during COVID.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I want to say, yeah, so it didn't.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Get the massive, you know, hubbaballoo and release that it
should have. But I think the life lessons and soul
are and also the voice acting and soul I think
is on point. The music obviously, because he's a musician. Yep,
tremendous pick.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's for me. It was I think number nine on
my list because it is such an exceptional movie.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
I love that movie.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
I love the teaching aspect of it, the part where
he realizes it's not like being this professional music player
that that's his passionate's teaching other people and bringing other
people joy for something that he loves. And that's that
stuck with me really hard because I kind of feel
the same way in some ways. It's it was, yeah,
you're a coach, Yeah, or I used to be. I'm
not right now, but I missing.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
You will be Yeah, you're probably gonna go back.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
I don't know, we'll see, but anyway, same same kind
of aspect that hit home for me, and I think
it's a great pick.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
All right, my second pick, go ahead and give me
Monsters Inc. Ah just another you know you growing up,
monsters are always the scary things under the bed and
you just need to stay away. Pixar said, you know what,
We're gonna flip that for kids. Monsters are gonna be
guys that are trying to actually love that. Thing's a
little different here. How about horrible movies too? Oh, totally

(45:06):
scary Kitty just you know, I touched the button. I
know it's funny, Nemo, But to your point, with Monsters Inc.
There's just so many elements that you can pull with
kids and have fun. And that is one of the movies.
When I saw it, I was like, you know. I'm
Mike was Awski. It's just a great fun movie that
I enjoy. I'm gonna go home and watch it now.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
So I think I've done that At a bar once.
They had to always say like, what's your name? And
I said, I.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Think the bar tender understood.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
It was great, one of the best.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Uh what's the word? I was gonna say, like ideas
for a movie like flipping monsters to be.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Exactly, they flipped it. They you, I said, when.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Cumans are the scared like we are.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Yeah, it's like I touched it.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
It's like, Bro, she's a kid and you're a monster.
I touched the kid. Oh you're gonna die? You know
your reality?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Man? That was just so creative.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, it is because now you have kids that are like, oh,
maybe monsters all aren't bad, which is true, not all
monsters are out to get you. But I thought this
film just did a really good job of capturing that
and making it fun for kids that needed an out,
like because usually they're spookyness and this is like, oh,
these guys are actually scared of us and they're actually good.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
But there's emotional parts to it too. It's solely like
wanting to you know, do something better with his life
and Mike and their friendship and then uh, you know,
just the the when they say goodbye to Boot.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Oh God, John Goodman, Billy Crystal, I believe, yes, the
voice and Billy again just fantastic plus job by.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Both of them, by the way, actually one of the
better villains in my opinion, mister water News. Oh I
just okay, if you haven't seen Monster, he is sickening.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
He is.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
He is a sickening villain.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
If you haven't seen it, I just spoiled it. But
it's it's been twenty five years. It became like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
one of the best villains and best twist villains in
pixel right now.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Has toy story, he has monsters inc. And he have
a soul that's a strong stream.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
I'm surprised they didn't snipe anyone. All right, fair enough,
you're you got the rap round?

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Oh no, yeah, you went. Do you get your other one?

Speaker 5 (47:14):
I do?

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Actually, what is it? It's Incredibles?

Speaker 6 (47:16):
This is uh.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
I I actually probably like Incredibles slightly more than Ratatui.
But I really wanted to talk about ratatu and I
want to make sure uh that got in there. I
just think, Uh, this one is special to me. Once again,
I'm going to point out the score of Michael Chacchino.
Excellent work. Uh, he takes you. This isn't a kid's movie.
It's a Pixar movie that isn't a kid's movie.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
And I love that.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Uh. There's there's adult concepts in this all over the place.
There's the coming of age of Dash and Violet, but
the bigger part is the the marital issues between Helen
and Robert and the kind of dealing with.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Dumb it down, mister incredible, My goodness, well, thank you.
Those aren't the ones that are married. It's Helen and
Robert there.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Okay, screw you, But just kind of the family aspect
of it, Like they feel like such a real and
relatable family, Like they have their own issues, like you know,
dealing with work, dealing with kind of becoming past your
prime so to speak, and the grind of day to day,
how bored Rob looks when he's going yeah, and it's

(48:23):
like that those are all such real feelings that a
lot of people get. And there's there's so many ways
to relate to this movie. Not to mention the story
while being about superheroes. I think is one of the
most grounded stories and like I said, easy to relate
to for anyone who watches it. Uh, it's it's just
great all around.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
It's it's one of my favorite and most rewatchable movies.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
By the way.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
I Incredibles it's it's incredible. I don't know what more
I can add to that.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I mean, it's it's I guess, I guess the thing
that I'll add is Michael's score.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
It makes you feel like you're in that world so.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Quickly, and it's not it's not necessarily, like you know,
a superhero theme, and it's not necessarily a spy theme,
but it's a new take on that kind of a
brand of of a of kind of like a score
and that kind of a theme, and it's one of
the most recognizable I think themes in all of the
Disney catalog, and I think the way he just puts

(49:27):
you in that world with that music. I loved it,
and it's it's up there for me. I don't know
more to say it. Incredibles is truly incredible. It's number
six for me because it's it's such a damn good movie.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
It's a great movie.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Uh, way back to back here.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
I have a feeling I know what your top pick
is gonna be. I'm gonna see if I'm correct, So
go ahead, I will go first.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Now I have a decision to make first so quickly
because we'll get to the movies that I'm not going
to pick on my list as eight nine.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Ticket always do that. This is this is, will do
it after. This is in the end of the draft.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
For some reason, I always thought this was the end
of the draft night, Chris, this is this is.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Yeah, so this is the end of the third round,
right yes, ah ah god. Uh.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
There's a question of whether to get an entry into
this franchise or just to take what I liked personally,
like inside Out is what I like more. Okay, there's
a franchise movie that I cried my eyes out to
and I love, but I just as.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
A whole film, as the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
I don't know if I can fully rally around it
being my third round pick. But inside Out I love
for the entire movie, and it's for the messages it has.
It's for the idea. Same way with Monsters, Inc. What
an awesome, awesome idea. The music from again, I'm gonna
he's my favorite composer, Michael Giacchino again is so. I

(51:01):
think the story and the pacing of the story too.
It's such a well paced movie because it goes quickly,
but I think it's still like an hour. It's like
a ninety plus minute movie, and it feels like an
hour long stretch where you're just racing through them, trying
to get back to the brain and the little jokes
inside of it and little lines that make you feel like, oh,

(51:25):
I saw what they did there, and you wouldn't notice
it unless you're an adult. They continue it in the
second one, which I think is also a very very
good movie. Yeah, but I think just the original kick
of inside Out and when Riley is coming back home
at the end and after it clicks in her brain
and timing wise, it all lines up. I thought that again,

(51:46):
the pacing there, and then the emotional kick of everything
coming together with her coming home. Definitely cried when she
ran through her front door and hugged her parents. That
was such a massive emotional moment that hit on so
many levels because you Getley herself, her character, and then
you get all the characters inside of her brain.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
And all that.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
I think Lewis Black as Anger is one of my
favorite memes to use on the internet.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
You know, his just the.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
So for me, I I think that the movie that
I was gonna pick might be a better overall movie.
I might have a better ending. But my favorite of
these two movies, and I'll get to it later, is
Inside Out. So I'm going to Inside Out and with
my third pick for my last pick, your first overall,
which is my first overall that I was hoping I
could get.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
And I am, well, let's just let's see if you
guess it me onward? No, I hate it onward?

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Really?

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yeah, Okay, I'm a cars guy. Yeah, I am a
cars guy.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
And I will understand and say that Cars two is
the worst Disney Pixar movie ever by far done end
of story. Cars two is bad, Cars three is man.
Cars one I absolutely loved. It's the soundtrack to Cars one,
which I will still put on driving around sometimes if

(53:09):
I want to feel good.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
It's the thank you exactly this. I think.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
Still think the store is pretty good, but you have
I think a very very good story. I personally am
just a car guy. I love cars in general, and
I could watch that movie and point out, Oh, I
hate that they're doing that with that car.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
That's what that's supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
That's like a little thing.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
And as a car guy, it speaks to me so deeply.
And I understand that Cars is widely hated, the whole
franchise is widely hated, but I absolutely love it. And
I really love the message of small town America and
what you used to and just the idea of what
used to be in in general, in the world, our

(53:51):
country town cities, whatever, what used to be isn't there anymore.
And you know, I remember, you know, being in Seattle
and I'm in here, and you know, growing up over
in Kirkland, Nanda's I'm sure you remember too.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
And Chris, what do you you grow up around here?

Speaker 6 (54:05):
Right?

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Yeah? I grew up in so like we can all
remember when when this place felt like a town, and
when this when this place felt like a small town
and you kind of just had certain spots and it
had that small town feel and it's not it's not
what it.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Used to be.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
And that idea really speaks to me of of of
that whole concept of of it ain't the way it
used to be and and that part of it really
sung to me as well as just I think great characters,
great voice acting. Bonnie Hunton and Owen Wilson I think
did a really really nice job all of the characters,

(54:41):
like made her lots of really nice jokes.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
A quotable, quotable movie.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yeah, it is a very quotable movie.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
I am a cars guy, and it has always been
number one on my list, and it surpris I just
absolutely love so much about the franchise, which really went
off the deep end in the wrong direction.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
But boy, that first one was for me the highest
of host.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
See, I don't have any any Cars movie on my list.
I think the first one is the best one by
a significant margin. It is, and I agree with you
like the parts that you talk about it, like just
the little quotable lines and it's it's it's what I
would describe as a fun movie. Like you go in

(55:27):
like there's lots of little hey, that's a that's a
Porsche ha ha ha, and then like a tramp stamp
quote unquote. It's just like, yeah, it's this little like
a bumper sticker or whatever.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
So it's the best ride at Disneyland in California, adventure. Oh,
I think the best ride.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
That's another at all. We could talk about that at
a different time, but I I could see where you
would have a good time with that.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
It's a personal for me.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Yeah, that's understandable. I think it's just a weird one
for Pixar for me because so many others are just
emotional like mammoths and it it didn't hit me emotionally
as hard with this one, which I don't think is
a bad thing, same kind of thing as Rat Towy, Right,
I don't think that's a bad thing. It's just not

(56:12):
a different type of movie that I necessarily isn't in
my top But I definitely enjoyed my time watching that
first that first one, the second and third one are
not great.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
I think the emotional moment at the end where he
realizes that he doesn't need to win to be a winner. Yeah,
that that's a moment that that hit for me where
it's sort of just like I don't know if it
was just me personally, but it was sort of this
this thing like, yeah, you don't have to come away
being number one to understand that what you did was
a success.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Yeah, I think the thing that made that.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
I don't want to say like old or repeatable, was
because I get that a lot of sports movies.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Oh yeah that so there you go.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
But it was something I had like felt before.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
A lot of these other ones are emotionally like just
give you a different feeling, like insight Out. Great pick
for that. By the way, I meant to ask, which
one between inside Out and Inside Out two do you
like more?

Speaker 5 (57:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Inside Out the original?

Speaker 4 (57:06):
Yeah, I think inside Out two is a I mean
I think I have it at number eleven on my list,
so like it's it's I actually have it at number
ten on my list. It's it's it's great. It's a
great movie. But I think inside Out just the original concept.
It's why Toy Story is better than their toy stories.
Toy Story two and Toy Straight three are great movies, yes,
but great great movies, but the original concept just bumps

(57:28):
it up.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Yeah, I'm with you on that.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
And I actually I think I get my top four
movies one, two, three, and four on this go for it.
I am surprised no one has taken this one. I
am very surprised. I mentioned I cry the most I've
ever cried during Coco My second most.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Is upp yep, yeah, yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
I know a lot of people say, oh yeah, after
the married Life sequence, it's not that good, of whom
we I actually disagree. I think it's a really good
like adventure after that, and that makes that the The
reason why that Married Live sequence is so like emotional
for so many people is because of what he does
later in the movie as well to show how much

(58:10):
he will do for his lost wife, and it's a
little personal for me as someone who's recently married. I
watched it with her and we baled our eyes out.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Man.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
We just we were eating each other's arms and we
just we like looked back at our and look forward
through our life together and we hope we have as
magical of a time as they did. So just just
a great movie, good great score obviously, and just.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Yeah, I would say I do think the movie does
get very much slower, and there's reason I don't have
it in my top seven.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
I think it gets much slower after they get to
Paradise Falls, ye, and then it kind of gets I
don't like the villain very much. Is not great, but
I will it's a great movie and I got to
show you guys, there's exactly a zero percent chance my
wife is listening this deep the podcast. So here is
what I've gotten her for Christmas. And I'm going to
be printing out pictures, uh and over the next week

(59:07):
or so and having it ready, hopefully to fill with
our next vacation.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
I got her a My.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Adventure book and our Adventure sorry, our Adventure book, and
and it's the same one from the movie. And you
can slide in your pictures and and kind of taste
really to so so it's you know, for people who
like really have those relationships, and you can look back
on scrapbooks and stuff. Uh, there's a lot of different
ones on Amazon, but I found Our Adventure Book that
looks exactly because it's just the idea of that and

(59:36):
and the idea that then the last page I believe
is Ellie putting in there like we've had ours, now
make it go, make yours, like Jesus the emotional hit
of that moment. There are moments that are slow in
that movie. But I mean, like for me, I think
I have an eight like it's just it's it's a
fantastic movie.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Yeah, yeah, I love it. It's probably overall like, I
kind of agree with what you said there there are
parts to the later part of the movie that aren't
as it's just so hard to match up to that moment,
because that's probably one of the most emotional moments in
any movie I've seen. It's start the first twenty minutes

(01:00:14):
of that movie, I know, but anything after that is
just gonna feel like like, oh my god, Like it's
just it's not the same as the first one, almost
like a letdown. But I actually think with subconsciously, so
many people watch that and it actually enhances that moment
because of what happens later in the movie.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
By the way, we should bring this conversation full circle
the fact that there's never been an up to love it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Thank you Disney, love it? Yeah, I mean, but as
this never do it up to?

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Yeah. I meant to mention this with Coco too. They're
supposedly making Coco too, which I'm not happy about. So anyways,
what's left? No, it's dumb. Stop it so dumb, all right, Chris,
finish this off.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
I wish Osmosis Jones was a Pixar film because that
would have been like, which one Osmosis Jones was that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Like the disease inside and he had to get rid
of the disease inside of the person. I would vaguely
remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
I would love to pick that, but I can't right now,
so instead I will take Elemental I thought that was
just a great film touched on a lot of things
that you can relate to life as I feel like
almost all my movies dough except for maybe Monthsters, Inc.
But nonetheless Elemental Man, that was just one of those films.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
I was like, that was a really good.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
That's a grown up that's also you know, speaking of
movies that like it for kids, that's a movie for
like thirteen to you know, thirty or three.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
It's never saw it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
I say, that's like the one of the only ones
that I haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
I watched it on a movie the Best six months ago,
and I was wildly surprised and was like, kind of
why didn't I see this earlier?

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
I think we were all wondering, what the hell is this.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
It's a it's a young adult movie, pressure, and it's
a damn good one for a certain messaging of of
life as a young adult and life dealing with parents,
and you know, we're all we're all trying to just
make our parents out in this age range. It was
definitely a Disney Pixar movie set for the kids who
had watched Toy Story, who had grown up through Disney Pixar,

(01:01:58):
and we're now at the age of twenty to five thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
I okay, I that I just didn't think about it. Honestly,
it's not that I purposely was like I'm not seeing
that or anything. I just never was like, I'm gonna
go see that so now, but that recommendation makes me
want to check it out. It's great. I think you
would like it, so let's do our Like, yeah, how
but we each get one.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
So for me, like, well, I was okay. A couple
I was gonna say.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Bugs Life was the one that I didn't think I
was ever gonna select, But I didn't want to talk
about it. And I'm glad you brought it up. The
fact that it was the second Pixar movie. I can't
believe that, because I thought it was also outstanding.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Really, I love being a huge fan.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
I just love it more for the story than anything else.
I don't think it has great much else.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
By the I wanted to just quickly mention that I
thought it was a great movie, but the one that
I was arguing with myself over inside Out, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
It's maybe a better movie.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
And I think it has a better ending Toy Story three.
Oh so much of Toy Story three, I think is
is fine, but there are certain moments that make it
just an exception film. I think the start of it,
I think, especially the end of it, where I just
remember being in a theater with like a bunch of
high school friends and like we're all eighteen years old.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
And we're all just freaking losing it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Yeah, at the ending of that, and we all come
out of there with like red eyes and everybody's just like, yeah,
we all just dealt with the same thing, yea. And
I think they wrapped the story and we all kind
of went in knowing this was the end. This is
the end of the trilogy, and this is the end
of these characters. And it just I wish Toy Story
four didn't happen, and hopefully Toy Story five.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
It wasn't like Toy Story four was a bad movie.
I just I think it was fine.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
I just think it kind of it de emphasizes the
end of Toys Toy three exactly, And.

Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
I think Toy Story three is ending is so perfect
very and it's a fun story and they really introduced
some fun new characters in it. But at the end
of the day, I had to go with the personal
touch of inside Out, and Toy Story three'd be kind
of the next one if I had a fifth pick.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
All Right, I'm with you on Toy Story three. I
like it because it it represents all of us that
grew up with Pixar growing up, right, and like you
kind of go with Andy in his adventure, but you're
also kind of feeling like, oh my god, like I

(01:04:12):
don't play with toys anymore, like you have gone through
all of those steps with the movie, and that that
was a crazy nostalgic trip for me, and that was
the biggest reason why I was like, oh my god,
I want these toys to survive so bad. The fact
that they have like this existential accepting death scene.

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
That hit really hard.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Do not expect that in a Pixar movie. Kidding me,
They really held it long enough where you felt like
that they're about to die and the music geez.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
So there are elements to Toy Story three that probably
deserves to be in this list, But what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Was your next one?

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
I actually, of all the Toy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Story movies, Toy Story two is my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
It's not a bad call. These are movies that are divided.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
By three or one point. It's like Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
They're all three like kind of yea even for me,
it's but two is like the scene when She Loved
Me by Randy Newman. And that's what I was gonna
say about the score. By the way, the score and
two soup surpasses the score in one.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
And that scene.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
Another emotional one for me was when the Jesse scene
when her uh owner left her in the box and
the song when she loved Me, it was just like
you expect that song to be like a love song
a little bit, but that that using it in that way.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
Great opening scene. Yes, the train, Yes, the train heist
was a tremendous three's three. No, the train the rain
opening scene is Story Story two. Yeah, the train heist,
and then I believe there's like a spaceship that comes in.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
That's three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
I'd have to go back and see that's that's Toy
Story three. Certain two, But but we can continue like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Toy Story two is opening is uh the buzz light
Year in the game or something like that, and it's
Rex playing the video game.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
Shoot, you're right, well there's the That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
That's why I like three, the opening scene in three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
Anyways, but yeah, I I mean, you can splitting by
a hair here. I love Toy Story, Love Toy Story two,
Love Toy Story three. It's I'm surprisingly one of them
is in our list.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Yeah. You said it's your favorite one and you didn't
even drafted. Yeah, there's a lot of these four are
like something.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
You know, that's good you mention that, because I think
Toy Story is probably better than up. But personally, just
watching it recently has given me news.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
This is our favorite, is our favorite Pixar.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
That's what this to be.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Honest, I don't even have an Honora mentual. You don't.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
I got all my I mean, light Year might have
been my close, but after that, I hated Year. There
was nothing else that was fine. Door was good, fine,
Dorri was good.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
But uh yeah, I mean for me, like, I only
had two that we didn't discuss, and that was Toy
Story three and Bugs Life.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Everything else on my list.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
I.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
I thought onward was actually pretty damn good.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
I felt like pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
Like taken through the adventure with I forget their names, but.

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
Chris, it's Chris Pratt, and I'm sorry, like I shouldn't
say this is as a Seattle guy, but I don't
like Chris Pratt.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
I'm not huge fan Chris Pratt either, but I am
okay not seeing him if I just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
Takes me out of movie. Speaking of taking anytime Chris Pratt,
Chris Pratt just takes me out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
Of movies, even in your favorite movie kind of yeah,
because at the my favorite movie contacts my favorite movie. Okay,
well one of your favorite movies an Avengers Endgame.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
Yeah, I mean, like sure, but like I think, I think,
I think still like Chris Pratt is the type of
guy where I have such a locked in mentality of
him as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation, Yeah, that
when I see him trying to be something else, it
just it never clicks for me, and I just I
don't know, a lot of his acting sometimes feels fake
to me. Yeah, so Chris Prats never never locked it

(01:08:09):
so onward for me, just hearing his voice, I'm like,
all right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
Well that's fair.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
But there's a lot of aspects that I actually really
enjoy about it, like the mom and her trying to
make her sons happy even though the dad's gone. The
whole like nerd aspect of it I absolutely love because
I'm a nerd. The brotherly connection between the two, that's
something that hit hard for me because you know, I'm
not like distant with my brother, but I'm not as

(01:08:35):
close as I would like to be. So that movie,
watching it made me kind of realize how much I
need to, you know, mend that relationship a little bit.
So yeah, I mean that that was a big one
for me. I just think it wasn't never going to
be on my list with all these other fantastic movies,
but I just wanted to mention it. It was really
really good.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
We're like an hour and ten minutes in right now.

Speaker 4 (01:08:56):
We can breeze through what we've been watching really quickly
and maybe talk about it extent. Some we have we
can save our recommendations for next week's episode, but I
guess we can just breeze through what we've been watching.
Dune Prophecy. I thought the episode number two was down
episode number three back up. It's fine if you like Dune,
it's worth watching, but it's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
On Skeleton Crew.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
We started, not start them. I'm waiting for somebody to
tell me if it was actually good.

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
I've heard from my reputable Star Wars sources that it's good,
so have I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
I don't necessarily trust that yet two episodes in I
am the people who are.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Telling me this are like like fifty years old. I
want to trust somebody who's mine.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
I'm a sucker for Star Wars.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
If I get any sort of like I up until
the Acolyte, I would watch it on the day it
came out, no matter what it was, and probably watch
it all the way through. The Acolyte screwed me up.
So I was like waiting for this one to make
sure it was good. And it's supposedly it's really good.
I'm actually more interested. Even though I love Dune and
love Star Wars, I'm more interested in the Skeleton Crew.

(01:09:57):
I mean, Dune is just it's gonna be so hard
for me to match that movie. Yeah, there are the
two movies. It doesn't match it. So it's it's it's
a little tough one. Plus I have a better chance
to get my wife to watch that one. She hates duds,
so that's fair.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
I will say that Silo's start.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
To season two has been sensational and it's very easy
to catch up ten episode season one. Silo on Apple
TV is on fire right now. Season two has been
better than I even could have dreamed of one with
the start of season two is better than season one. Yeah,
and it's I think it's by quite a large margin.

(01:10:33):
Right So Silo season two is off to an amazing
start and then shrinking also on Apples chugging along, very
very good. I will save my big recommendation for next
week because I want to talk extensively about my new recommendation.
It's a Netflix show that just came out, and I
will say that it's already it's jumped to thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
On my all time list and so it's popping up
there eight episodes. It is a new show.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
I will tease it and I will talk about it
next week. But there's a new show on Netflix that
I cannot wait to talk about next week.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
What have you guys been watching? Who wants to take it?

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
I kind of mentioned the Skeleton cre I'm gonna probably
start that pretty soon. We kind of just talked about that,
but I'm gonna also save my recommendation for next week
because I also want to talk excessively about that. It's
also on Netflix. It's not the same one as you
because it's not new, but that I'll wait for that one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Chris, go ahead, Well, the show I'm watching, I'm curious
if that's the same show Jackson is referring to that's
on Netflix, because I finished it last night with my fiance.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Is it a dramaedy?

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
Drama comedy?

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
Is?

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
I know, I know what it is, but i'm Is
it set in San Francisco? No, No, we're not watching.
I just finished.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
So did any of you guys watch Fear of the
Walking Dead?

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
No, okay, Well, one of the characters, he goes by
the name of Coleman Domingo.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
Is in the show.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
He was straighter, straight Straight. I forget his name. Nonetheless,
the show on Netflix is called The Madness, and Coleman
Domingo play is a character where he is a CNN broadcaster,
so he's a pundit in another terms, and he does hits,
you know, a couple of times a week and gives

(01:12:10):
his opinion. And he has this neighbor who he doesn't know.
He just meets him once, doesn't know who he is,
knows nothing about him. His neighbor says, hey, man, if
you ever need anything, just come on by the crib.
So the power goes out at the crib. Your neighbor says,
you need anything, what do you do? You go over there?

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
And that was the poor timing of that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Water bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
I'm like setting up for like a attacking and jump
at that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
So he goes to the neighbor's house and finds a
startling scene and now he's like, what the hell? He
sees two mask men, He runs, and the story is
him trying to erase his name because now he's being
framed for something he didn't do. And for the next note,
so this is not connected to Fare of the Walking Dead.
Oh no, I was.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
That was just the way I thought you said it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
I was just saying, this is the same guy that
played in this if you had seen it, and you
guys hadn't. So basically, he was just trying to survive
and reconnect with his family and everything that is going wrong,
could possibly that could possibly go wrong, is going wrong,
and he's trying to balance his family trying to survive,
trying to stay out of prison. It's just we finished
it in one night. It's only eight episodes, but it

(01:13:19):
was definitely like Chill. It's called The Madness.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
The Madness.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Yeah, it's on Netflix. It just I think it's the
number one show right now on Netflix too, if I'm
not mistaken.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
But that sounds interesting. Actually it is. I was.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I did not expect it to go where it did,
but it was. It had me, It had me wondering, like, damn,
that was Could they do a season two? Yourself?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Forty is that an elbow? Not? That's yourself? That's forty
seven percent popcorn meter.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
I never, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
I've yeah, seventy five critics, forty seven popcorn.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Meter critically good. Audience doesn't like it as.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Much, Chris, I'm not sure I'm going to sign up
for that. You ain't got to do.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
You say what I'm watching, That's what I just watched.
That's all.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
