them celebrating his fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Jows Jews.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The only movie that my father in law watches, his
favorite of all time, shot and filmed off of Martha's Vineyard,
and Martha's Vineyard is going to be celebrating with a
bunch of activities if you can get out there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Ye, Martha's Vineyard is filled to the gills with fans
flocking over there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, how you said you're gonna need a bigger boat
because you're going to need the boat to get out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Big of Matha's Vineyard as well, because so many people
are going over there. Of course that as you mentioned,
the place where the movie directed by Steven Spielberg was filmed.
Hotels fully booked. If you haven't booked this year in advance,
then you are you're you're on a sinking ship. You
are sol a lot of stuff going on, including, of course,
screenings all weekend long of the film, documentary of the
(05:05):
film as well. There's gonna be live performances of the
movie's score. Donna, Donna, Donna, No no, no, no, no, no
noa parties. They can meet some of the cast and crew.
All the stores and shops. If you ever wanted any
Jaws merchandise, this is the place to be because they're
going to be selling, selling it all. Yeah. Have you
seen have you seen? I'm not I don't think it's
(05:27):
amc maybe a cinemaker or something, but the Jaws popcorn bucket. Yeah,
it's amazing. So I saw somebody actually holding the whole
thing and it's literally like this big, and you could, like,
you know, when they mount deer heads on the wall,
moose heads and they put this on a wall and
it will look like an actual shark that you've captured
with your bare hands.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You like, shove your arm in it and protect.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You could put in a good amount of arm in
that shark, but you don't want. You want to put popcorn,
which you'll you know eventually at the dig. Yeah, you'll
put your whole arm in there to dig to the bottom.
But a lot of cool stuff. One thing that locals
are asking fans to do, however, and that is to
respect the locals, respect the space because people live there.
(06:09):
Of course. You know, people think Martha's Vineyard big, you know,
vacation spot. People live there year round and so you know,
not every home you can just walk on the lawn
and do your do your thing. Respect the locals.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, and a lot of these seaside towns are are smaller.
They don't have the infrastructure necessarily, so plan ahead and yeah,
be respectful, don't get drunk, end up in somebody's backyards
or in the water. A lot of trap you know,
backyards and stuff like that. Not not necessary with the shacks.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
With the shacks, dude. Well yeah, so let us know
if you if you're going to Martha's Vineyard, tag hub
about Hollywood on any social media posts. We are everywhere Instagram, TikTok, Facebook,
and we're on Blue Sky as well. Yours is.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm not on Blue Sky, but I know, right, I
know I'm going to get there eventually. I think it's
but lady Jam, that's that's me. You can sign me
Lady Jam twenty one on Instagram and yeah, and just find.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The hub on Hollywood and you will find us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, we'll be swimming out there in the vineyard, keeping you,
keeping each shake from safe from the shacks. I just
want to mention real quick, speaking of movies made here
in New England, I actually just saw Manchester.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
By the Seat.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I know I'm terrible, but this is the first time
I've seen like the whole movie. I have never seen
a more New England movie.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
In my entire life.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It opens up in Beverly Hospital, where I've been like
for the for the last couple of weeks with clients
of mine. It's like, oh my god, it's like too
close to home. But there's a part where the kid
is like fishing with his uncle.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And he's like, it's a shack. I got a shock
and it is that. Yeah. Yeah, it's just so it's
so true.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's a really good movie and a good representation of
the area, like you know, geography wise. It is so depressing.
It is so depressing, but.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's got some really great moments as far as like
the humor goes. Yeah, you got this like devastating parts
of the movie, and then you know, he's walking with
his nephew and he's like, well we go on the orphanage.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Was like, yeah, this one that started Casey Affleck. I
think there's a deleted scene where he goes into a
duncan and he's like, no, sorry, sorry, that's a skit
nails dude. All right. Well, speaking of classic films and
awesome films, Top Gun Maverick one of the best sequels.
(08:38):
I think you can argue one of the best sequels
of all time. And so there's some controversy because I
think you would I think you would think a lot
of people love Tom Cruise. You know, you know the actor.
Maybe not a person is questionable, but the actor, you know,
and his work you can't help but deny he worked.
He's a hard working actor and and so you think,
(08:59):
you know who doesn't like him. Of course there are
many people who don't like him, but for certain reasons
about the actor. So do you know Dan Dano Tosh
the comedian.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh yeah, to point, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, Tosh point Oh. He hasn't he's since stopped that show.
But he has an amazing podcast. He talks to like
everyday people and he like every other podcast where the
celebrity hosts, hope they interview other celebrities. He literally hosts
just people that he knows, like people without clean his car,
or he's gone to school with or what what have you.
On a recent podcast, he was actually interviewing a long
(09:32):
distance Ultra marathon runner, Paul Johnson. And Paul Johnson at
the time of the recording, he was in the Navy,
so he's, you know, working on those on those ships,
on the aircraft carriers and whatnot. And so Daniel had
him on, of course talking about his Ultra marathon running,
but knowing that you know, you know the that the
(09:54):
US military, I'm not sure if it rents out, but
they allow filmmaking on these aircraft carriers. Yeah, and it's
a good, you know, good thing for the military because
it's a great recruitment strategy. Right after Top Gun, a
lot of people signed up for the Navy and the
air Force, so Top Gun to you know, the Government's like, yes,
but whatever you need, we're gonna we're gonna help you out.
So Daniel asks Paul, so what do you think about
(10:17):
Tom Cruise And he just says, don't like him, And
he goes, whoa why why? So he says, So when
they went out to film, they had five thousand sailors
on the aircraft carrier that they were using the film on.
And during that time they're taken out to sea and
they can't do anything, like, you know, other than operating
(10:38):
the ship. But then you have five thousand sailors pretty
much not doing anything kind of like hunger down in
their bunkers. And they said that for the entire duration
of the filming they could not use the gym because
the gym was dedicated to Tom Cruise. And so you
have five thousand people on a ship for who knows
how long they're filming not being able to like burn
off some steam and not use the gym. Not only that,
(11:01):
but they were told do not make eye contact with
Tom Cruise. Really, and so he says, since then the
Navy guys they do not like him.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's that is such a Hollywood which is crazy. That's
such a deva thing that don't look me in the
don't look.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh my gosh, tell me that's not true.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
This is what this guy says. He says, you know, yeah,
that you know, they the military goes above and beyond,
especially for projects like this, like if you imagine the
Transformers movies. They let them shoot like every military aircraft
and everything they needed because the military gets a good
return on that, you know, with people wanting to join
the join the army. And so they're like, Okay, we're
(11:46):
gonna do whatever Tom Cruise wants to do for this
for the shoot. So they go out there again, five
thousand sailors sweaty hot, you know underneath like and again
their bunkers are one not for god knows how long. Yeah,
and then you're told you can't use the gym. What
for one man, we can't use the gym? And then
two don't look at that man who's using your gym?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
So we need Tom Cruise to comment on this. Is
this true? Is this slander? We need clarification, mister Cruise.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We do, mister Cruise, missile?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is this is this is awful? And then who
knows what he was doing in their gym? Was he
like jumping on all their couches? Yeah, that's you know,
you don't you don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
You don't jump on those benches.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
If you're an A list actor, it doesn't matter who
you are, Like, don't you feel a little bad about that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don't you feel a little guilty?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, shouldn't be saluting everybody on that ship.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's like, yeah, shouldn't he be saluting them?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Shouldn't he be making eye contact with them and thanking
them for their service.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The thing and not taking their gym.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So this is a completely contrary to like the Tom
Cruise like not legend image because you know, everybody you
talk to, especially celebrities, maybe that's key. You need to
be a celebrity to be in in good relations with
mister Cruse. I keep saying, mister Cruse, but Tom. Every
celebrity gets interviewed asking you know, what's what's Tom? Like,
(13:02):
they always say the nicest guy he is, Like when
he's talking to you, he's a laser focused on you
and makes you feel like you're the only person in
the world, and it makes you feel so important and
so like well listen to and respected and like Tom,
like he is the guy you want to be with,
to have a great conversation with. And so this kind
of is marring in the reputation the image of Tom.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, maybe they say that because they want to work again.
Maybe we'll see, but I hope it's not true. I
hope it's not true.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Called Don't Cross the Cruise? Is there?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You just make that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, there is a good movie.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
That's really scary.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
What if that's Yeah, you can make a movie about
like the real Tom Cruise and what's going on behind
the scenes.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, if you've ever interacted with Tom Cruise, let us
warm or cold, let us know down in the comments. Yeah,
speaking of out what's hot? Yeah, you know what's hot?
Dragons dragons as now how right now and always have been.
And you know what dragons love.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What they love treasure, treasure, And this movie, How to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Train Your Dragon is filling up a treasure trove chest
of the blooms of money. Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, so yeah,
How to Train Your Dragon, the live action adaptation of
the classic animated UH movie franchise, is doing great. People
are going out there in droves and watching it. And
(14:34):
we spoke recently in our last episode about me wanting
to watch Leylan Stitch. So I had I had a
free like afternoon. I was like, okay, cool, I'm gonna
go to the movies and watch Laylan Stitch. This was
right when How to Train Your Dragon came out, and
I was like Ooh, that looks really good too. So,
and I heard mixed mixed stuff about Leyloan Stitch, which
we'll get into at the end of this episode. But
(14:56):
but so I figured, let me just let me just
go for what I'm hearing is good, you know, a
good buzz from So I went into watching that and
it's really good. Yeah, it's really good, and a lot
of people agree. As of June nineteenth, it's grossed one
hundred and fourteen million dollars in the US and Canada
and worldwide collectively. It's it's raised, it's earned two hundred
(15:16):
and fifty three million dollars. Yeah, so on a budget
of one hundred and fifty million. Not a bad start
at all, right.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Not a best start on making their money back. Now,
were you a fan of the original?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Love to watch the love the original?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, and you remember it completely?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So from what I'm hearing, this is almost a shot
for shot remake. And I just want to make a
note that this I believe is dream Works. Yes, first
live action adaptation of one of their.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Works, I believe, So I think so that sounds right, well.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You know, and going up against Disney, for example, who
has just a ton of these now they're just beating
that dead horse of remaking every single animated classic that
they have ever had, so to see another studio kind
of going in at it. I thought that they did
a pretty decent job of doing this live action remake
(16:14):
of making it true to the original that everybody loved.
I do have some nippicks, but I did want to
just make the point that I think that they are
taking the track of being.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Extra extra extra true to the source material.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Whereas Disney has not been doing that, and they've been
getting a lot of flack and a lot of controversy
around their live actions. So overall, I think for dream Works,
lots of really good positive feedback on their first live
action adaptations, So I think that they're going in the
right direction.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think maybe they've learned.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Some of the lessons that they can be learned from
the other studios and what they've done.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I know, they just you know, obviously we're gonna
be talking about about Leyloan's Stitch a minute, but one
they were pretty accurate and true to the animated version
of Stitch with the live action of of of of
the Alien that we all love. However, people have pointed
out differences, Like, you know, Stitch in the animated version
has a longer snout. In the live action they call
(17:17):
him a pug because like his like face is more
smushed maybe maybe maybe easier to make merchandise around. But
but one thing I liked about How to Train Your
Dragon is that obviously Toothless, like the main dragon, looks
identical to the animated version, but all the other dragons too,
like even though the weird oddly shaped ones that look
like they can't fly or shouldn't be able to, like,
(17:38):
you fully believe it, and they look exactly how they
did in the animated version, So I do respect and
how they you know, took one version of them and
pretty much copied and pasted because the original versions are perfect,
so why.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Not why they were successful for the reason.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, so why not duplicate it? But yeah, so reviews
have been pretty good. Basically, the story if you are
not familiar with How to Train Your Dragon, as an
ancient threat endangers both vikings and dragons alike on the
Isle of Burke. The friendship between Hiccup and Toothless becomes
the key to both species forging a new future together.
Written and directed by Dean de Blows Deblause, who also
(18:16):
directed the animated versions. So you know, dream Work said
we're going to do this, and he said, I want
to do it too. And one thing I like about this,
he said, you know, he loves the original version, but
there are some things that he wishes, you know, like
all of us, we can. If you can go back
on a project, you may want to improve some things,
add some things, take out some things that in hindsight
and are like, Okay, that didn't work, or this did work,
(18:38):
or this could have worked. So there's actually I think
fifteen or twenty minutes extra, like this movie is longer
than the animated version, with some more things that they
added for, you know, just to build the lore in
the history of the characters and the village of the Vikings.
And I think it works very well. Like you said,
it's nearly beat for beats as the animated film, but
(18:58):
you know, they add a little more to it, so
that's really good. Mason Thames plays Hiccup, Gerard Butler, reprising
his voice role as a stoic the Viking King, the
Viking leader. Nico Parker is Astrid and Nick Frost is
Gobber and I thought, you know, design wise, the dragons
looked great, but also the vikings looked great too, like
(19:20):
the gray costumes. They actually spent fifty million dollars in
pre production to build out sets. So the arena where
the dragon slayers are training, that's all practical. The village
is practical. The big huts where Stoic Gerard Butler's character
is like speaking to all the other vikings, that's all practical.
(19:42):
So when you had these actors on walking in on
the set, they felt like they were transported. Plus it
was filmed. Don't quote me, but I think in Ireland
or one of those islands up there, so they were
actually they're out on an island filming these beautiful scenic
shots that were so critical to make the flying scendes
(20:04):
look incredible.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I want to know where. I remember seeing it
in the credits. I'm like, oh, they were out there,
But yes, I thought it looked really beautiful. It flowed
very well as the story, as we mentioned, beat for
beat almost the casting was fantastic. I think Mason Thames
(20:27):
did a phenomenal job, as did Nico Parker as Astrid.
They embodied these characters really, really well. I just have
a couple of nippicks.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, Northern Ireland.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Northern Ireland, perfect, just a few nippicks.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
What was the difference between Northern But we're not gonna
get into that. So my nippicks is that there there
are just some things that are animated or cartoon for
a reason and when you throw oh in live action,
they don't make as much sense as part of the story.
So it just doesn't make sense to me that you
(21:08):
have these vikings in their tiny little boats just rowing
after the fricking dragons, fire breathing dragons and these giant
monsters with all of these abilities to destroy them, and
all they had is their little wooden boats and swords.
It just doesn't make sense to me in a live
action that they have enough power to go up against
(21:29):
these dragons. It just seems so disproportionate and not like
believable in live action, whereas animated you can get away
with that. I just it didn't track as well, and
I'm like, eh, it it felt not as realistic to me.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It didn't. It felt forced.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it felt forced. I agree because in the animated version,
like for example, Stoic Gerard Butler's character like he's a
very big, and in this movie he's also big and
brooding and like you know, like a like a Meadi
man and so. But in the animated version, when he's
like punch a dragon, you can feel like this is
a burly man who's punching a dragon. You can and
you can kind of believe it when you're watching the
anime the real life versions, like that's a man punching
(22:08):
this eighty foot tall dragon or something like it isn't. Yeah,
those are those moments. I do agree when I was
watching it, like a man, you know, grappling with one
dragon and taking it down is hard to believe, you
know it. They kind of suspend your disbelief there. One
thing I think that they actually improved on or increase
the intensity was the fire scenes, because when you when
(22:29):
you have like live action characters avoiding actual fire like
flames and fire balls, yeah, and you have things catching
on fire around them, like that that opening scene where
where Hiccup gets in between like this like wooden pillar
and you just feel the fire the flames going all
around him, like shooting on this side and this side,
and he's just trying not to get scorched like that,
(22:49):
Like you could imagine how hot that is. So I
think this did a really good job in making the
fire aspect seem much more dangerous.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, yeah, no, I agree, Yeah, I agree, No, but.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I do with like the physical when it came to
the hand in hand and like you know, with their
sticks and swords. Yeah, it's at to suspend your disbelief. There.
There's some moments where I felt like the acting and
you know, the actors were really good, especially dar Butler,
some really emotional scenes, some like some heart you know,
the heart strings getting pulled. But with some of the
acting moments, there's some awkward like you know, they're playing
(23:21):
awkward like hiccup, he's an awkward character in the animated
scene animated movies, and so Jason Mason does a good
job doing it. But there's some scenes that were kind
of like, I know, it's a kid's movie, so you
don't have to give the leeway, but there's some moments
where like the awkwardness didn't feel real. It felt like acting.
They were acting awkward, right, the awkwardness didn't feel as natural.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, as I feel like, I agree, I feel like
there were a couple of parts where it's like, oh, look,
at me.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I'm with this tall, handsome actor who's just pretending to
be awkward. Such an awkward little guy. Yeah, just ignore
the fact that I'm like six foot for something ruggedly handsome.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And if you if you're animated version, like, yeah, Hiccup
is like he is like skin and bones like he is.
His arms are like rail thin, like he's a very
he's much shorter. And this one, yeah, Mason, you know,
he's like near six foot tall or something. He's supposed
to be fifteen years old, which you know there are
tall fifteen year olds, but he's also he doesn't seem
like like the kind of scrawny you know, Viking that
(24:23):
was portrayed in the animated version and the and the
kind of sun that Stoic was disappointed in having to
an extent because like, oh, yeah, you look nothing like me.
You're so small and skinny, where like Mason, like, okay,
if you just do some push ups and stuff, you'll
you'll be good.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It was a lot of telling too, it's like I
am nothing like everybody. He's nothing like everybody, instead of
like showing it, and it's like it's like, Okay, I
guess he's just supposed to be that radically different thing,
but you don't really see it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
They do have some like the amount of exposition in
the animated stuff. So in the how it opens, it's
nearly beef for beef with how the animated version is.
Whereas where he's like kind of like describing this as
burke and here, you know, you get to be rough
and tough to survive and one thing we have here
and then the flames dragons. Well, yeah, so like a
couple choices in how they phrase things or how they
(25:13):
emote for certain phrases, you know, kind of yeah. Again,
it's hard to complain against a kids movie. No, I
often do complain often about kids movies, which we will
continue after this, But overall, I thought they did a
really good job. I think it's a really fun movie.
I think in the latter half of the film, the
color tone and this could be you know, for you know,
(25:34):
creative purposes, but it gets more grayer. So there's a
lot of like less color in the in the ladder half.
And granted you're on a mountain finding other dragons, but
I felt like the color completely kind of dropped off
near the end in the third act, and I wanted
it to be a little more colorful, but some people
like that. They said they felt gritty and real, kind
(25:54):
of like a Game of Thrones episodes. So teaching their own,
but I think you should watch this. If you have kids,
watch it. My recommendation, as always is to have your
kids watch the animated version first, and then.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Do what you want. Do what you want, go wild.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Technically you could do what you want. You know it's
going to arrest.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Technically the remakes first, right, But yeah, he wasn't terrified.
But I felt it was also sweet because one of
my main complaints about these kinds of remakes is that
they make them like super dark and unnecessarily scary, and
I feel like they balanced it enough that it was
it was okay as a kids movie and not didn't
terrify my kids.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Right right, I continue to commit this crime over and
over again. Your kids liked it, they did, They did
like it, except my daughter. My daughter thought it was boring. Yeah,
but she's five.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
There are scenes where like the girls, there are there
are scenes where they're building out the relationship between Hiccup
and and Toothless and so like there's you have to
have some of that breathing room to like that slows
down the film when they're trying to like, you know,
become friends with each other.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
There's just one scene in particular, Yes, I agree, Yeah,
they have to let it breathe a little bit when
he meets Toothless and Toothless spits the fish headback. Oh
that was great, and he has to I was literally gagging.
I almost threw up in the theater and I heard
other people coughing too.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That was not necessary.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's disgusting. That was not okay.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's in the it was.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's okay in an animation, but in real oh god.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I will say this. I will say this. One thing
I loved was was the flying scenes, like the montage
of Hiccup and Toothless. Uh, you know, we're learning to
work together and fly together. Like those scenes were like
heart pounding where they're flying in between rocks and pillars
above the ocean and high up in the sky and
nearly falling and all this stuff. Like and because they
(27:52):
shot it in North Ireland, like on location, you have
those like very realistic scenes and you feel like you're
riding on Toothless all so, so if you're if for anything,
if you want to watch, you know, the animated version
come to life that scene be sequence. They do that
so so well. You actually feel like the wind in
(28:13):
your hair and the danger of being up so high
and falling, and it's so good.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
It must be really great in four dy in those
four D bucks, just like blasting, yeah, yeah, chair moving
in the air. Why aren't there any more more of
those in New England? Like to go down to Connecticut?
I think is the closest one.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yea. So, speaking of going from animated to live version,
let's talk about Lelo and Stitch. We don't go too
deep into it, but as I mentioned, I thought the
movie looked really good based off the trailers, and I
do plan to watch it, and I was planned to
watch in the movie theater. But then you know, through
osmosis through the internet, you start hearing, you know, things
of like how things were changed. It's making a lot
(28:52):
of money. People do like it, but there's some certain
changes that I believe fundamentally change the message of the
animated version. Well, can we first start with I guess
we'll get to the ending of the movie. So spoiler
spoilers for Lelo and Stitch, because this, unlike how to
Train your Dragon. This is not be for Beat. There
are changes. So in this version, as you mentioned in
(29:16):
the animated version, agent Pleikly and doctor Jumba, they are
there and sent to Hawaii to recapture Stitch so they
can be taking back to the planet. And you're kind
of like, okay, you see Jumba as kind of like,
you know, he is the antagonist. Of course, he's trying
to catch Stitch. Stitch is trying to stay away from him.
Plaically is he's there doing a job, so he's not
(29:38):
good nor bad. He's there doing his job, but he's
a fun character. And then over time, you know, there's
a transition in the movie where again down in his heart,
Jumba isn't evil or bad. He's just like a wild
scientist who's making wild creations for the heck of it.
And you know, when given the opportunity to help Stitch,
(29:58):
he does it in a heartbeat. And so then he
becomes like a protagonist like instantly and becomes on the
side of of Stitch and Lilo. In this one, I
understand that Jumba is basically like the main villain, right right.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Right, and he doesn't end up helping.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Uh so, how does that play outs? Because there's a
scene where after after Jumba completely okay, so this is
after Okay, so so Stitch and I'm based on this
out the animated version, Stitch leaves Lilo after the whole
ocean surfing scene because you know, he feels like he's
(30:39):
responsible for Nannie and Lilo getting torn apart. The next day,
so Stitch goes tries to find himself, you know, a
family in the woods comes back and then and then
gets tackled by Jumba completely and so and this after
like an indoor fight in the house after So how
does is how does that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Different from it doesn't Actually, it doesn't play out exactly
like that. So he uh, Stitch runs away and then
Leela goes and finds him and they come back to
the house together and that's where the confrontation happens. The
joy the house and it's a big all out fight
and then Stitch gets captured and Lelo jumps on the
(31:21):
ship at the last second, goes through the portal, gets
on the ship.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Stitch was a portal.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Okay, what does the portal go to.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
To the to the ship?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Where there where he's going to take a Stitch away
and fly away with him, and then Lilo helps Stitch
escape and what's the name of the Jumba?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And then Juma's like, I made.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A mistake with you. You because you can love, I'm
going to make you into this other Stitch that has
no capacity for love whatever whatsoever and is actually just
this terrible monster and uh, and Lilo helps him escape
and and they the ship crashes with both of them
on it and all of that, and he gets sucked
(32:06):
off and he's and he's gone.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
He's gets sucked away. Yeah, and he's gone. I don't
know if he's dead.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I don't you just don't see him after this.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I don't remember where he went. But he's gone.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And then yeah, they crash into the ocean, and then
Stitch gets They both get rescued out of the ocean.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Please tell me. David with the surfboard helps him.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
They help, Yeah, he's he does, he does help. Yes, Yeah,
David helps.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
And then and then when they get back to the beach,
there's the council woman. She pop in yep, okay, yep.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And the councilwoman is there and everything so okay.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So so that's pretty much the same again. I don't
like how they changed Jumba into to be the villain,
so that's kind of disappointing. But so after uh, Cobra bubbles,
so he comes in and says, sorry, I gotta take
I gotta take Lilo away from your nanny.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
So what happens, Okay, so I've got to take away?
Well this wasn't at the end anyways. Uh, they agree
that Leelo has to go to the home and Leelo
has to go into foster care, and but she ends
up being put into foster care with the neighbor.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Okay, And neighbor was introduced before.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
And the neighbor's introduced before. She's like this nice old lady.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Who helps them okay on occasion, and baby sits lee Lo,
and she decides to become the.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Foster parent with David.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
With David, so this is David's grandmother, okay, and they're
gonna take care of Leel. And they are neighbors, they're
right across the street, their family. They consider each other family.
And that's going to allow the sister to go away
to college, pursue her dreams, but stay in very.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Close contact with her sister. When the house gets rebuilt.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
They're they're right there, and the sister's always gonna be
with her, And so it's not like Leelo's going into
foster care with some stranger and just disappears and their
family's torn apart. It's everybody is family, right, So the
neighbor is now a part of their family, David is
now a part of their family, and they're stepping up
to help take care of Lilo so that the sister
(34:17):
can go and follow her dream.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Does pletely stay on the planet, which is yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Know, he visits. I wasn't paying that closest attention movies,
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
But the sergeant Bubbles or over Bubbles, he's he's hanging around,
and I guess he's dating the grandma or something.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He's dating the why not?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
So okay, So Nanny she's going into marine biology, right, yes, yeah, so,
and she's going to California Long Beach or something or
right is that right?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So, so people bringing this up of how stupid this is,
of how stupid this is that Nanni is going, oh
really quick, but before I do this, going and go
into my rants, I'm sure in the movie will sprinkle
that Nanni wants to go to college. Yes, okay, okay,
so nin he wants to go to college to study
marine biology.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Right, She's very smart, she's worked very hard, she has
all of these awards.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
She's yes, and she wants to go to college.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
She got accepted to her dream school, but she's gonna
decline it. She keeps declining it. And the neighbor's the
one that's trying to encourage her to accept.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay again, marine biology, right, yes. So the stupid thing
about this is that she is going all the way
to California, six hour flights, all the way to California
to go to school on scholarship, or just doesn't say, yeah,
I know, she got a scholarship scholarship marine biology. The
(35:49):
thing is when people are saying that in Hawaii. Hawahi
is actually the best place in the world to learn
marine biology because they had like the best universe, these
in best programs for marine biology. Not only that, but
for Hawaiians, if you're born in Hawaii and you're like
a natural Hawaiian, you get to go to college for free.
(36:12):
So she could have stayed at the home across the
street or what have you with Lelo learning marine biology
in the best place in the world to do So,
why that's a terribst. That's really bad. I think that's
really bad.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It's start takes away the tension.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
The tension. The tension is like with Cobra Bubbles being
there and like, okay, whether to take you away to
foster care? That's the tension, and then what's the resolution?
You know what, I've realized that you guys need each other.
You guys can still live under one roof and whatever,
but now you have help him Grandma over here and
David and Plaguely in the animated version he's there, and
Jumba in the animated version, they're there to basically act
(36:56):
like uncles and like to beat the extra hands, living
in the house with them and helping provide support. And
so if you had that same setup, Okay, Jumpa's evil
in this version, he's gone, he's got sucked out, got
fawn into a volcano. What have you? You still Pleakly?
You have Pleikly there, you have David, you have Grandma,
you have even Cobra Bubbles apparently dated the Grandma. You
(37:18):
have this whole family unit there and you're going in
the house. Why the hell are you leaving, Like why
this that really bugged me. I told my wife about this,
about the twist or the change. She got so upset.
We love the animated version, yea, and my daughter loves
the animated version too, and it just like again, Ohanna,
(37:38):
Ohanna means family. Family means no, uh no, one gets
that's behind or forgotten.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
So they've expanded their definition of family.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That's fine, that's fine, Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
And I think it's healthy to say, hey, you want
to go to college, you got accepted, you have this scholarship.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Fine, you know, pursue your dreams.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Just because you need to take care of your little
sister doesn't mean that you have to give everything up.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
You know, we lean on other people.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Those are that's all great, great, but yes, this plot
hole with where she goes to school unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's unforgivable.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's like I got said, I'm going to Texas to
study Marie by Like what But that's basically the same thing.
It's just like why you're leaving your your home, the
main the islands where you live and like and she
knows the surf here too, right, Like, yeah, you can
serve in California, but you also serve in Hawaii where
like the surfing is even better, the warmer, the water
is warmer. Oh my goodness. And so that's the disappointed
(38:39):
it's again. I think you said your kids enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, they enjoyed it, enjoying this. It's making a lot
of money. Of course, they have a portal gun too.
They use the portal gun to go back and forth
so that the sisters can visit each other from California.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
So what do you want? So why do you even
need o? So why did Jump completely even need a spaceship?
Can't they just like portal to Earth and like yink
and then go back like having a portal gun. Yeah,
there was kind of that. That's such a like, Okay,
here's the magic toy that you guys now introduced into
the movie for whatever plot convenience. And so why why.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
It's okay no no, Ohana means a family.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
That that's what means, close your plot holes.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
That's a wild swing. That's a wild swing. Apparently it's working,
and I'm sure they'll make up a sequel. But that's
a wild swing.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, but go and see it for yourself.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Watch the original version first, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I was like, I haven't like what I watched the original,
like when it came out.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Man, you are sleeping on this.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I know. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Sorry. If he's much money in The Lord, he's much
more in The Lord.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
I need to breathe. I need to show it's only
a movie, honey. Okay. Well, alha to that movie, and
aloha to another movie that I also watched. This one
also getting really good reviews, but unfortunately not you know,
not doing well in the box office. That's bell Arena,
the john Wick spinoff, starring on Ada Armis, Keanu Reeves,
(40:17):
Norman Retis. Yeah, apparently, And I saw this movie. It's
a good movie. If you like the john Wick films.
There there's so much good action in this that it
obviously is the same universe and the same you know,
you know, the writers and all this other stuff, so
it fits right in perfectly. But the action is on
a level that you can imagine john Wick doing all
this stuff, and ended the Armis's character, she's not as
(40:40):
good as as john Wick because because they have and
it's not really a spoiler, but they had like a
one on one fight and john Wick is just like
ten times better than her. He's kind of like not
toying with her, but he's easily beating her. But she's
not giving up, but he's like easily beating her. So
she's really good. He Keanu is really good in this film.
But despite the really good reviews, box office performance considered
(41:03):
to be very underwhelming compared to the initial expectations. The
film has made over ninety five million dollars globally. However,
it is made on a budget of ninety million dollars.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, so this is gonna be a while before it
makes its money better.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Yeah, so I would I would not be surprised that
this got pulled into like streaming services relatively sooner than later.
But I think it's a good movie. If you're a
fan of the John Wick stuff, this is really good.
They're like really good sequences, really good scenes that really
stand out. And on An Armis is really good in
this film, so excuse me.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
So, Yeah, I love annad Armis in almost everything that
she does. Yeah, I think that they've put out a
lot of behind the scenes how it was made, the training,
the fight sequence.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
It's amazing what they what they go through to make fees,
and I think that they've been trying to build up
that hype. I think that they've in doing the marketing.
So I'm surprised that it's been so underwhelming.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, so yeah, if you if if you are a fan,
I would recommend watching this sooner and then later go
to the movie theater watch it on a big screen
because the action scenes are very good. It's gripping. There
are two scenes in particular which involve clearing rooms and
grenades and also a flamethrower sequence, Like you don't see
flamethrowers that often anymore in films, especially done so well,
(42:29):
where you have like two people and an armists and
this and this, like this other bad guy fighting each
other with flame throwers.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Fight fire with fires.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
It's crazy and sometimes water too, but like it's really
good stuff. Like it's like like the stunt work. Kudos
to the stunt team, stunt coordinators and an armists for
putting in the work and not only firearms training but
also physical training. One thing I like about this is
that and they tell you right off the bat that
you know, ened armists, you are a small woman. We
(43:00):
can train you as much as you can, but at
the end of the day, like you are physically weaker
than many men you're going to go up against. So
you need to adapt. You need to fight how you
fight and not try to fight like, you know, by
using brute force by like like somebody else would. You
have to be adaptive, you have to improvise, you have
to be like, you know, resilience and you know, there
are good portions of this film where she's getting her
(43:22):
butt whooped, but it's cool because she kind of jackie
chans it up by using like things around her to
like to her advantage, and so I think it's really
good stuff. Check it out for those unfamiliar. Basically the
story an assassin trained in the traditions of the Rusco
Roma organization sets out to seek re revenge after her
father's death. Plain and simple, kind of like the first movie,
(43:43):
the first John Wick. John Wick's dog gets killed and
because of that, a lot more people get killed. This
is basically that I recommend it go watch.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Yes, I mean it's true for it's the genre. It's
expected the genre.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Do you feel like you would have want, say a
little bit more of a complex plot or no?
Speaker 1 (44:04):
For these type of movies, you don't need you know,
three angled or like forty chests. For these movies, you
just need a simple character who's like, hey, I was wronged.
I'm gonna make your rights. Yeah, and anybody who gets
in my way, they're not gonna have a good time.
So if you want to have a good time, go
(44:25):
watch Ballerina in theaters while you can. A lot of
people expected to watch a lot of movies this weekend.
Two movies coming out that a lot of people are
excited for. Twenty eight years later. That is the third
movie from the twenty eight days Later, twenty eight weeks later.
Now it's twenty eight years later. This is expected to
(44:45):
make between twenty eight and thirty million dollars. Elio, Ilio,
Elo Ellio. This is an animated film. I don't know
much about this one.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Okay, very excited about Ello. It's about a little boy
who's missing an eye. He's sort of an outca and
he his dream is to get abducted by aliens.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Who's has a dream about that?
Speaker 3 (45:06):
I know, I know that's my dream, just to hitchhike
my way across the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
That was a great series of books and movies also,
But yeah, so he's trying to make a friend. He
doesn't have any human friends, and hey, lo and behold,
he gets abducted by aliens, makes a cute little friend
and has to bring humanity and all of these beings together,
(45:32):
and it just it looks really cute, It looks really fun.
Me and my kids are really excited about seeing that one.
And that is out this weekend in theaters.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
So yeah, Pixar film AMC Tuesday Movie Tuesday Tuesday, Yeah,
may make between twenty five and thirty million dollars and
it's opening weekend, and How to Train Your Dragon expected
to rake in another forty to forty three million and
its second weekend release. Speak about AMC really quick, since
I'm ranting and raving. Did you hear about how they're
adding more commercials?
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yes, AMC, it's his nightmare.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Did tell you, We told you repeatedly over multiple episodes,
and try to drill this point home. You're going in
the wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Did you not read his emails?
Speaker 1 (46:15):
He did not read my threats, my my anonymous threats
that I'm not taking ownership over. I really didn't do that,
but imagine if I did. Yeah, more commercials, Yeah, I
understand you need money to survive. I get it, but
this isn't the way.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
It is so funny that we keep ranting about this.
You in particular, it's rubbing off on my son. It's
rubbing off. He's like we were in the theater and
he's like, James would hate this.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
No. Yeah, so no, even more even more? Is this
AMC specific?
Speaker 1 (46:49):
AMC now they say they say that there are like
five other theater chains that have done this over the
past four year or like or over the past four
years they've introduced something similar where they add another commerce
and according to their reporting, it hasn't affected sales or
whatever or whatever. So AMC is like, it hasn't affected
the theater going experience for those people in those movie theaters,
(47:11):
So it shouldn't, you know, affect our audience.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
It's affecting me acation.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yeah, what is AMC is now stand for? All more commercials?
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (47:24):
What do you guys stand for?
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (47:26):
All more commercials?
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Marketing?
Speaker 1 (47:27):
All marketing commercials? Yeah, come on, AMC. Goodness. Okay, well,

them celebrating his fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Jows Jews.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The only movie that my father in law watches, his
favorite of all time, shot and filmed off of Martha's Vineyard,
and Martha's Vineyard is going to be celebrating with a
bunch of activities if you can get out there.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Ye, Martha's Vineyard is filled to the gills with fans
flocking over there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, how you said you're gonna need a bigger boat
because you're going to need the boat to get out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Big of Matha's Vineyard as well, because so many people
are going over there. Of course that as you mentioned,
the place where the movie directed by Steven Spielberg was filmed.
Hotels fully booked. If you haven't booked this year in advance,
then you are you're you're on a sinking ship. You
are sol a lot of stuff going on, including, of course,
screenings all weekend long of the film, documentary of the
(05:05):
film as well. There's gonna be live performances of the
movie's score. Donna, Donna, Donna, No no, no, no, no, no
noa parties. They can meet some of the cast and crew.
All the stores and shops. If you ever wanted any
Jaws merchandise, this is the place to be because they're
going to be selling, selling it all. Yeah. Have you
seen have you seen? I'm not I don't think it's
(05:27):
amc maybe a cinemaker or something, but the Jaws popcorn bucket. Yeah,
it's amazing. So I saw somebody actually holding the whole
thing and it's literally like this big, and you could, like,
you know, when they mount deer heads on the wall,
moose heads and they put this on a wall and
it will look like an actual shark that you've captured
with your bare hands.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
You like, shove your arm in it and protect.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You could put in a good amount of arm in
that shark, but you don't want. You want to put popcorn,
which you'll you know eventually at the dig. Yeah, you'll
put your whole arm in there to dig to the bottom.
But a lot of cool stuff. One thing that locals
are asking fans to do, however, and that is to
respect the locals, respect the space because people live there.
(06:09):
Of course. You know, people think Martha's Vineyard big, you know,
vacation spot. People live there year round and so you know,
not every home you can just walk on the lawn
and do your do your thing. Respect the locals.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, and a lot of these seaside towns are are smaller.
They don't have the infrastructure necessarily, so plan ahead and yeah,
be respectful, don't get drunk, end up in somebody's backyards
or in the water. A lot of trap you know,
backyards and stuff like that. Not not necessary with the shacks.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
With the shacks, dude. Well yeah, so let us know
if you if you're going to Martha's Vineyard, tag hub
about Hollywood on any social media posts. We are everywhere Instagram, TikTok, Facebook,
and we're on Blue Sky as well. Yours is.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm not on Blue Sky, but I know, right, I
know I'm going to get there eventually. I think it's
but lady Jam, that's that's me. You can sign me
Lady Jam twenty one on Instagram and yeah, and just find.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The hub on Hollywood and you will find us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, we'll be swimming out there in the vineyard, keeping you,
keeping each shake from safe from the shacks. I just
want to mention real quick, speaking of movies made here
in New England, I actually just saw Manchester.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
By the Seat.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I know I'm terrible, but this is the first time
I've seen like the whole movie. I have never seen
a more New England movie.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
In my entire life.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It opens up in Beverly Hospital, where I've been like
for the for the last couple of weeks with clients
of mine. It's like, oh my god, it's like too
close to home. But there's a part where the kid
is like fishing with his uncle.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And he's like, it's a shack. I got a shock
and it is that. Yeah. Yeah, it's just so it's
so true.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's a really good movie and a good representation of
the area, like you know, geography wise. It is so depressing.
It is so depressing, but.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's got some really great moments as far as like
the humor goes. Yeah, you got this like devastating parts
of the movie, and then you know, he's walking with
his nephew and he's like, well we go on the orphanage.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Was like, yeah, this one that started Casey Affleck. I
think there's a deleted scene where he goes into a
duncan and he's like, no, sorry, sorry, that's a skit
nails dude. All right. Well, speaking of classic films and
awesome films, Top Gun Maverick one of the best sequels.
(08:38):
I think you can argue one of the best sequels
of all time. And so there's some controversy because I
think you would I think you would think a lot
of people love Tom Cruise. You know, you know the actor.
Maybe not a person is questionable, but the actor, you know,
and his work you can't help but deny he worked.
He's a hard working actor and and so you think,
(08:59):
you know who doesn't like him. Of course there are
many people who don't like him, but for certain reasons
about the actor. So do you know Dan Dano Tosh
the comedian.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh yeah, to point, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, Tosh point Oh. He hasn't he's since stopped that show.
But he has an amazing podcast. He talks to like
everyday people and he like every other podcast where the
celebrity hosts, hope they interview other celebrities. He literally hosts
just people that he knows, like people without clean his car,
or he's gone to school with or what what have you.
On a recent podcast, he was actually interviewing a long
(09:32):
distance Ultra marathon runner, Paul Johnson. And Paul Johnson at
the time of the recording, he was in the Navy,
so he's, you know, working on those on those ships,
on the aircraft carriers and whatnot. And so Daniel had
him on, of course talking about his Ultra marathon running,
but knowing that you know, you know the that the
(09:54):
US military, I'm not sure if it rents out, but
they allow filmmaking on these aircraft carriers. Yeah, and it's
a good, you know, good thing for the military because
it's a great recruitment strategy. Right after Top Gun, a
lot of people signed up for the Navy and the
air Force, so Top Gun to you know, the Government's like, yes,
but whatever you need, we're gonna we're gonna help you out.
So Daniel asks Paul, so what do you think about
(10:17):
Tom Cruise And he just says, don't like him, And
he goes, whoa why why? So he says, So when
they went out to film, they had five thousand sailors
on the aircraft carrier that they were using the film on.
And during that time they're taken out to sea and
they can't do anything, like, you know, other than operating
(10:38):
the ship. But then you have five thousand sailors pretty
much not doing anything kind of like hunger down in
their bunkers. And they said that for the entire duration
of the filming they could not use the gym because
the gym was dedicated to Tom Cruise. And so you
have five thousand people on a ship for who knows
how long they're filming not being able to like burn
off some steam and not use the gym. Not only that,
(11:01):
but they were told do not make eye contact with
Tom Cruise. Really, and so he says, since then the
Navy guys they do not like him.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's that is such a Hollywood which is crazy. That's
such a deva thing that don't look me in the
don't look.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh my gosh, tell me that's not true.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
This is what this guy says. He says, you know, yeah,
that you know, they the military goes above and beyond,
especially for projects like this, like if you imagine the
Transformers movies. They let them shoot like every military aircraft
and everything they needed because the military gets a good
return on that, you know, with people wanting to join
the join the army. And so they're like, Okay, we're
(11:46):
gonna do whatever Tom Cruise wants to do for this
for the shoot. So they go out there again, five
thousand sailors sweaty hot, you know underneath like and again
their bunkers are one not for god knows how long. Yeah,
and then you're told you can't use the gym. What
for one man, we can't use the gym? And then
two don't look at that man who's using your gym?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
So we need Tom Cruise to comment on this. Is
this true? Is this slander? We need clarification, mister Cruise.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We do, mister Cruise, missile?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
This is this is this is awful? And then who
knows what he was doing in their gym? Was he
like jumping on all their couches? Yeah, that's you know,
you don't you don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
You don't jump on those benches.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
If you're an A list actor, it doesn't matter who
you are, Like, don't you feel a little bad about that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Don't you feel a little guilty?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, shouldn't be saluting everybody on that ship.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's like, yeah, shouldn't he be saluting them?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Shouldn't he be making eye contact with them and thanking
them for their service.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The thing and not taking their gym.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So this is a completely contrary to like the Tom
Cruise like not legend image because you know, everybody you
talk to, especially celebrities, maybe that's key. You need to
be a celebrity to be in in good relations with
mister Cruse. I keep saying, mister Cruse, but Tom. Every
celebrity gets interviewed asking you know, what's what's Tom? Like,
(13:02):
they always say the nicest guy he is, Like when
he's talking to you, he's a laser focused on you
and makes you feel like you're the only person in
the world, and it makes you feel so important and
so like well listen to and respected and like Tom,
like he is the guy you want to be with,
to have a great conversation with. And so this kind
of is marring in the reputation the image of Tom.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, maybe they say that because they want to work again.
Maybe we'll see, but I hope it's not true. I
hope it's not true.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Called Don't Cross the Cruise? Is there?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You just make that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, there is a good movie.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
That's really scary.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
What if that's Yeah, you can make a movie about
like the real Tom Cruise and what's going on behind
the scenes.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, if you've ever interacted with Tom Cruise, let us
warm or cold, let us know down in the comments. Yeah,
speaking of out what's hot? Yeah, you know what's hot?
Dragons dragons as now how right now and always have been.
And you know what dragons love.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What they love treasure, treasure, And this movie, How to.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Train Your Dragon is filling up a treasure trove chest
of the blooms of money. Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, so yeah,
How to Train Your Dragon, the live action adaptation of
the classic animated UH movie franchise, is doing great. People
are going out there in droves and watching it. And
(14:34):
we spoke recently in our last episode about me wanting
to watch Leylan Stitch. So I had I had a
free like afternoon. I was like, okay, cool, I'm gonna
go to the movies and watch Laylan Stitch. This was
right when How to Train Your Dragon came out, and
I was like Ooh, that looks really good too. So,
and I heard mixed mixed stuff about Leyloan Stitch, which
we'll get into at the end of this episode. But
(14:56):
but so I figured, let me just let me just
go for what I'm hearing is good, you know, a
good buzz from So I went into watching that and
it's really good. Yeah, it's really good, and a lot
of people agree. As of June nineteenth, it's grossed one
hundred and fourteen million dollars in the US and Canada
and worldwide collectively. It's it's raised, it's earned two hundred
(15:16):
and fifty three million dollars. Yeah, so on a budget
of one hundred and fifty million. Not a bad start
at all, right.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Not a best start on making their money back. Now,
were you a fan of the original?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Love to watch the love the original?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Okay, and you remember it completely?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So from what I'm hearing, this is almost a shot
for shot remake. And I just want to make a
note that this I believe is dream Works. Yes, first
live action adaptation of one of their.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Works, I believe, So I think so that sounds right, well.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You know, and going up against Disney, for example, who
has just a ton of these now they're just beating
that dead horse of remaking every single animated classic that
they have ever had, so to see another studio kind
of going in at it. I thought that they did
a pretty decent job of doing this live action remake
(16:14):
of making it true to the original that everybody loved.
I do have some nippicks, but I did want to
just make the point that I think that they are
taking the track of being.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Extra extra extra true to the source material.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Whereas Disney has not been doing that, and they've been
getting a lot of flack and a lot of controversy
around their live actions. So overall, I think for dream Works,
lots of really good positive feedback on their first live
action adaptations, So I think that they're going in the
right direction.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think maybe they've learned.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Some of the lessons that they can be learned from
the other studios and what they've done.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I know, they just you know, obviously we're gonna
be talking about about Leyloan's Stitch a minute, but one
they were pretty accurate and true to the animated version
of Stitch with the live action of of of of
the Alien that we all love. However, people have pointed
out differences, Like, you know, Stitch in the animated version
has a longer snout. In the live action they call
(17:17):
him a pug because like his like face is more
smushed maybe maybe maybe easier to make merchandise around. But
but one thing I liked about How to Train Your
Dragon is that obviously Toothless, like the main dragon, looks
identical to the animated version, but all the other dragons too,
like even though the weird oddly shaped ones that look
like they can't fly or shouldn't be able to, like,
(17:38):
you fully believe it, and they look exactly how they
did in the animated version, So I do respect and
how they you know, took one version of them and
pretty much copied and pasted because the original versions are perfect,
so why.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Not why they were successful for the reason.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, so why not duplicate it? But yeah, so reviews
have been pretty good. Basically, the story if you are
not familiar with How to Train Your Dragon, as an
ancient threat endangers both vikings and dragons alike on the
Isle of Burke. The friendship between Hiccup and Toothless becomes
the key to both species forging a new future together.
Written and directed by Dean de Blows Deblause, who also
(18:16):
directed the animated versions. So you know, dream Work said
we're going to do this, and he said, I want
to do it too. And one thing I like about this,
he said, you know, he loves the original version, but
there are some things that he wishes, you know, like
all of us, we can. If you can go back
on a project, you may want to improve some things,
add some things, take out some things that in hindsight
and are like, Okay, that didn't work, or this did work,
(18:38):
or this could have worked. So there's actually I think
fifteen or twenty minutes extra, like this movie is longer
than the animated version, with some more things that they
added for, you know, just to build the lore in
the history of the characters and the village of the Vikings.
And I think it works very well. Like you said,
it's nearly beat for beats as the animated film, but
(18:58):
you know, they add a little more to it, so
that's really good. Mason Thames plays Hiccup, Gerard Butler, reprising
his voice role as a stoic the Viking King, the
Viking leader. Nico Parker is Astrid and Nick Frost is
Gobber and I thought, you know, design wise, the dragons
looked great, but also the vikings looked great too, like
(19:20):
the gray costumes. They actually spent fifty million dollars in
pre production to build out sets. So the arena where
the dragon slayers are training, that's all practical. The village
is practical. The big huts where Stoic Gerard Butler's character
is like speaking to all the other vikings, that's all practical.
(19:42):
So when you had these actors on walking in on
the set, they felt like they were transported. Plus it
was filmed. Don't quote me, but I think in Ireland
or one of those islands up there, so they were
actually they're out on an island filming these beautiful scenic
shots that were so critical to make the flying scendes
(20:04):
look incredible.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I want to know where. I remember seeing it
in the credits. I'm like, oh, they were out there,
But yes, I thought it looked really beautiful. It flowed
very well as the story, as we mentioned, beat for
beat almost the casting was fantastic. I think Mason Thames
(20:27):
did a phenomenal job, as did Nico Parker as Astrid.
They embodied these characters really, really well. I just have
a couple of nippicks.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, Northern Ireland.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Northern Ireland, perfect, just a few nippicks.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
What was the difference between Northern But we're not gonna
get into that. So my nippicks is that there there
are just some things that are animated or cartoon for
a reason and when you throw oh in live action,
they don't make as much sense as part of the story.
So it just doesn't make sense to me that you
(21:08):
have these vikings in their tiny little boats just rowing
after the fricking dragons, fire breathing dragons and these giant
monsters with all of these abilities to destroy them, and
all they had is their little wooden boats and swords.
It just doesn't make sense to me in a live
action that they have enough power to go up against
(21:29):
these dragons. It just seems so disproportionate and not like
believable in live action, whereas animated you can get away
with that. I just it didn't track as well, and
I'm like, eh, it it felt not as realistic to me.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It didn't. It felt forced.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it felt forced. I agree because in the animated version,
like for example, Stoic Gerard Butler's character like he's a
very big, and in this movie he's also big and
brooding and like you know, like a like a Meadi
man and so. But in the animated version, when he's
like punch a dragon, you can feel like this is
a burly man who's punching a dragon. You can and
you can kind of believe it when you're watching the
anime the real life versions, like that's a man punching
(22:08):
this eighty foot tall dragon or something like it isn't. Yeah,
those are those moments. I do agree when I was
watching it, like a man, you know, grappling with one
dragon and taking it down is hard to believe, you
know it. They kind of suspend your disbelief there. One
thing I think that they actually improved on or increase
the intensity was the fire scenes, because when you when
(22:29):
you have like live action characters avoiding actual fire like
flames and fire balls, yeah, and you have things catching
on fire around them, like that that opening scene where
where Hiccup gets in between like this like wooden pillar
and you just feel the fire the flames going all
around him, like shooting on this side and this side,
and he's just trying not to get scorched like that,
(22:49):
Like you could imagine how hot that is. So I
think this did a really good job in making the
fire aspect seem much more dangerous.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, yeah, no, I agree, Yeah, I agree, No, but.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I do with like the physical when it came to
the hand in hand and like you know, with their
sticks and swords. Yeah, it's at to suspend your disbelief. There.
There's some moments where I felt like the acting and
you know, the actors were really good, especially dar Butler,
some really emotional scenes, some like some heart you know,
the heart strings getting pulled. But with some of the
acting moments, there's some awkward like you know, they're playing
(23:21):
awkward like hiccup, he's an awkward character in the animated
scene animated movies, and so Jason Mason does a good
job doing it. But there's some scenes that were kind
of like, I know, it's a kid's movie, so you
don't have to give the leeway, but there's some moments
where like the awkwardness didn't feel real. It felt like acting.
They were acting awkward, right, the awkwardness didn't feel as natural.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, as I feel like, I agree, I feel like
there were a couple of parts where it's like, oh, look,
at me.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I'm with this tall, handsome actor who's just pretending to
be awkward. Such an awkward little guy. Yeah, just ignore
the fact that I'm like six foot for something ruggedly handsome.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And if you if you're animated version, like, yeah, Hiccup
is like he is like skin and bones like he is.
His arms are like rail thin, like he's a very
he's much shorter. And this one, yeah, Mason, you know,
he's like near six foot tall or something. He's supposed
to be fifteen years old, which you know there are
tall fifteen year olds, but he's also he doesn't seem
like like the kind of scrawny you know, Viking that
(24:23):
was portrayed in the animated version and the and the
kind of sun that Stoic was disappointed in having to
an extent because like, oh, yeah, you look nothing like me.
You're so small and skinny, where like Mason, like, okay,
if you just do some push ups and stuff, you'll
you'll be good.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It was a lot of telling too, it's like I
am nothing like everybody. He's nothing like everybody, instead of
like showing it, and it's like it's like, Okay, I
guess he's just supposed to be that radically different thing,
but you don't really see it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
They do have some like the amount of exposition in
the animated stuff. So in the how it opens, it's
nearly beef for beef with how the animated version is.
Whereas where he's like kind of like describing this as
burke and here, you know, you get to be rough
and tough to survive and one thing we have here
and then the flames dragons. Well, yeah, so like a
couple choices in how they phrase things or how they
(25:13):
emote for certain phrases, you know, kind of yeah. Again,
it's hard to complain against a kids movie. No, I
often do complain often about kids movies, which we will
continue after this, But overall, I thought they did a
really good job. I think it's a really fun movie.
I think in the latter half of the film, the
color tone and this could be you know, for you know,
(25:34):
creative purposes, but it gets more grayer. So there's a
lot of like less color in the in the ladder half.
And granted you're on a mountain finding other dragons, but
I felt like the color completely kind of dropped off
near the end in the third act, and I wanted
it to be a little more colorful, but some people
like that. They said they felt gritty and real, kind
(25:54):
of like a Game of Thrones episodes. So teaching their own,
but I think you should watch this. If you have kids,
watch it. My recommendation, as always is to have your
kids watch the animated version first, and then.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Do what you want. Do what you want, go wild.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Technically you could do what you want. You know it's
going to arrest.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Technically the remakes first, right, But yeah, he wasn't terrified.
But I felt it was also sweet because one of
my main complaints about these kinds of remakes is that
they make them like super dark and unnecessarily scary, and
I feel like they balanced it enough that it was
it was okay as a kids movie and not didn't
terrify my kids.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Right right, I continue to commit this crime over and
over again. Your kids liked it, they did, They did
like it, except my daughter. My daughter thought it was boring. Yeah,
but she's five.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
There are scenes where like the girls, there are there
are scenes where they're building out the relationship between Hiccup
and and Toothless and so like there's you have to
have some of that breathing room to like that slows
down the film when they're trying to like, you know,
become friends with each other.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
There's just one scene in particular, Yes, I agree, Yeah,
they have to let it breathe a little bit when
he meets Toothless and Toothless spits the fish headback. Oh
that was great, and he has to I was literally gagging.
I almost threw up in the theater and I heard
other people coughing too.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That was not necessary.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's disgusting. That was not okay.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's in the it was.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's okay in an animation, but in real oh god.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I will say this. I will say this. One thing
I loved was was the flying scenes, like the montage
of Hiccup and Toothless. Uh, you know, we're learning to
work together and fly together. Like those scenes were like
heart pounding where they're flying in between rocks and pillars
above the ocean and high up in the sky and
nearly falling and all this stuff. Like and because they
(27:52):
shot it in North Ireland, like on location, you have
those like very realistic scenes and you feel like you're
riding on Toothless all so, so if you're if for anything,
if you want to watch, you know, the animated version
come to life that scene be sequence. They do that
so so well. You actually feel like the wind in
(28:13):
your hair and the danger of being up so high
and falling, and it's so good.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
It must be really great in four dy in those
four D bucks, just like blasting, yeah, yeah, chair moving
in the air. Why aren't there any more more of
those in New England? Like to go down to Connecticut?
I think is the closest one.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yea. So, speaking of going from animated to live version,
let's talk about Lelo and Stitch. We don't go too
deep into it, but as I mentioned, I thought the
movie looked really good based off the trailers, and I
do plan to watch it, and I was planned to
watch in the movie theater. But then you know, through
osmosis through the internet, you start hearing, you know, things
of like how things were changed. It's making a lot
(28:52):
of money. People do like it, but there's some certain
changes that I believe fundamentally change the message of the
animated version. Well, can we first start with I guess
we'll get to the ending of the movie. So spoiler
spoilers for Lelo and Stitch, because this, unlike how to
Train your Dragon. This is not be for Beat. There
are changes. So in this version, as you mentioned in
(29:16):
the animated version, agent Pleikly and doctor Jumba, they are
there and sent to Hawaii to recapture Stitch so they
can be taking back to the planet. And you're kind
of like, okay, you see Jumba as kind of like,
you know, he is the antagonist. Of course, he's trying
to catch Stitch. Stitch is trying to stay away from him.
Plaically is he's there doing a job, so he's not
(29:38):
good nor bad. He's there doing his job, but he's
a fun character. And then over time, you know, there's
a transition in the movie where again down in his heart,
Jumba isn't evil or bad. He's just like a wild
scientist who's making wild creations for the heck of it.
And you know, when given the opportunity to help Stitch,
(29:58):
he does it in a heartbeat. And so then he
becomes like a protagonist like instantly and becomes on the
side of of Stitch and Lilo. In this one, I
understand that Jumba is basically like the main villain, right right.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Right, and he doesn't end up helping.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Uh so, how does that play outs? Because there's a
scene where after after Jumba completely okay, so this is
after Okay, so so Stitch and I'm based on this
out the animated version, Stitch leaves Lilo after the whole
ocean surfing scene because you know, he feels like he's
(30:39):
responsible for Nannie and Lilo getting torn apart. The next day,
so Stitch goes tries to find himself, you know, a
family in the woods comes back and then and then
gets tackled by Jumba completely and so and this after
like an indoor fight in the house after So how
does is how does that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Different from it doesn't Actually, it doesn't play out exactly
like that. So he uh, Stitch runs away and then
Leela goes and finds him and they come back to
the house together and that's where the confrontation happens. The
joy the house and it's a big all out fight
and then Stitch gets captured and Lelo jumps on the
(31:21):
ship at the last second, goes through the portal, gets
on the ship.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Stitch was a portal.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Okay, what does the portal go to.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
To the to the ship?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Where there where he's going to take a Stitch away
and fly away with him, and then Lilo helps Stitch
escape and what's the name of the Jumba?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And then Juma's like, I made.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A mistake with you. You because you can love, I'm
going to make you into this other Stitch that has
no capacity for love whatever whatsoever and is actually just
this terrible monster and uh, and Lilo helps him escape
and and they the ship crashes with both of them
on it and all of that, and he gets sucked
(32:06):
off and he's and he's gone.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
He's gets sucked away. Yeah, and he's gone. I don't
know if he's dead.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I don't you just don't see him after this.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I don't remember where he went. But he's gone.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And then yeah, they crash into the ocean, and then
Stitch gets They both get rescued out of the ocean.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Please tell me. David with the surfboard helps him.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
They help, Yeah, he's he does, he does help. Yes, Yeah,
David helps.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
And then and then when they get back to the beach,
there's the council woman. She pop in yep, okay, yep.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And the councilwoman is there and everything so okay.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So so that's pretty much the same again. I don't
like how they changed Jumba into to be the villain,
so that's kind of disappointing. But so after uh, Cobra bubbles,
so he comes in and says, sorry, I gotta take
I gotta take Lilo away from your nanny.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
So what happens, Okay, so I've got to take away?
Well this wasn't at the end anyways. Uh, they agree
that Leelo has to go to the home and Leelo
has to go into foster care, and but she ends
up being put into foster care with the neighbor.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Okay, And neighbor was introduced before.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
And the neighbor's introduced before. She's like this nice old lady.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Who helps them okay on occasion, and baby sits lee Lo,
and she decides to become the.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Foster parent with David.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
With David, so this is David's grandmother, okay, and they're
gonna take care of Leel. And they are neighbors, they're
right across the street, their family. They consider each other family.
And that's going to allow the sister to go away
to college, pursue her dreams, but stay in very.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Close contact with her sister. When the house gets rebuilt.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
They're they're right there, and the sister's always gonna be
with her, And so it's not like Leelo's going into
foster care with some stranger and just disappears and their
family's torn apart. It's everybody is family, right, So the
neighbor is now a part of their family, David is
now a part of their family, and they're stepping up
to help take care of Lilo so that the sister
(34:17):
can go and follow her dream.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Does pletely stay on the planet, which is yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Know, he visits. I wasn't paying that closest attention movies,
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
But the sergeant Bubbles or over Bubbles, he's he's hanging around,
and I guess he's dating the grandma or something.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He's dating the why not?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
So okay, So Nanny she's going into marine biology, right, yes, yeah, so,
and she's going to California Long Beach or something or
right is that right?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So, so people bringing this up of how stupid this is,
of how stupid this is that Nanni is going, oh
really quick, but before I do this, going and go
into my rants, I'm sure in the movie will sprinkle
that Nanni wants to go to college. Yes, okay, okay,
so nin he wants to go to college to study
marine biology.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Right, She's very smart, she's worked very hard, she has
all of these awards.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
She's yes, and she wants to go to college.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
She got accepted to her dream school, but she's gonna
decline it. She keeps declining it. And the neighbor's the
one that's trying to encourage her to accept.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Okay again, marine biology, right, yes. So the stupid thing
about this is that she is going all the way
to California, six hour flights, all the way to California
to go to school on scholarship, or just doesn't say, yeah,
I know, she got a scholarship scholarship marine biology. The
(35:49):
thing is when people are saying that in Hawaii. Hawahi
is actually the best place in the world to learn
marine biology because they had like the best universe, these
in best programs for marine biology. Not only that, but
for Hawaiians, if you're born in Hawaii and you're like
a natural Hawaiian, you get to go to college for free.
(36:12):
So she could have stayed at the home across the
street or what have you with Lelo learning marine biology
in the best place in the world to do So,
why that's a terribst. That's really bad. I think that's
really bad.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It's start takes away the tension.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
The tension. The tension is like with Cobra Bubbles being
there and like, okay, whether to take you away to
foster care? That's the tension, and then what's the resolution?
You know what, I've realized that you guys need each other.
You guys can still live under one roof and whatever,
but now you have help him Grandma over here and
David and Plaguely in the animated version he's there, and
Jumba in the animated version, they're there to basically act
(36:56):
like uncles and like to beat the extra hands, living
in the house with them and helping provide support. And
so if you had that same setup, Okay, Jumpa's evil
in this version, he's gone, he's got sucked out, got
fawn into a volcano. What have you? You still Pleakly?
You have Pleikly there, you have David, you have Grandma,
you have even Cobra Bubbles apparently dated the Grandma. You
(37:18):
have this whole family unit there and you're going in
the house. Why the hell are you leaving, Like why
this that really bugged me. I told my wife about this,
about the twist or the change. She got so upset.
We love the animated version, yea, and my daughter loves
the animated version too, and it just like again, Ohanna,
(37:38):
Ohanna means family. Family means no, uh no, one gets
that's behind or forgotten.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
So they've expanded their definition of family.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That's fine, that's fine, Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
And I think it's healthy to say, hey, you want
to go to college, you got accepted, you have this scholarship.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Fine, you know, pursue your dreams.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Just because you need to take care of your little
sister doesn't mean that you have to give everything up.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
You know, we lean on other people.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Those are that's all great, great, but yes, this plot
hole with where she goes to school unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It's unforgivable.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's like I got said, I'm going to Texas to
study Marie by Like what But that's basically the same thing.
It's just like why you're leaving your your home, the
main the islands where you live and like and she
knows the surf here too, right, Like, yeah, you can
serve in California, but you also serve in Hawaii where
like the surfing is even better, the warmer, the water
is warmer. Oh my goodness. And so that's the disappointed
(38:39):
it's again. I think you said your kids enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, they enjoyed it, enjoying this. It's making a lot
of money. Of course, they have a portal gun too.
They use the portal gun to go back and forth
so that the sisters can visit each other from California.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
So what do you want? So why do you even
need o? So why did Jump completely even need a spaceship?
Can't they just like portal to Earth and like yink
and then go back like having a portal gun. Yeah,
there was kind of that. That's such a like, Okay,
here's the magic toy that you guys now introduced into
the movie for whatever plot convenience. And so why why.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
It's okay no no, Ohana means a family.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Man.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
That that's what means, close your plot holes.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
That's a wild swing. That's a wild swing. Apparently it's working,
and I'm sure they'll make up a sequel. But that's
a wild swing.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yeah, but go and see it for yourself.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Watch the original version first, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
I was like, I haven't like what I watched the original,
like when it came out.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Man, you are sleeping on this.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I know. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Sorry. If he's much money in The Lord, he's much
more in The Lord.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
I need to breathe. I need to show it's only
a movie, honey. Okay. Well, alha to that movie, and
aloha to another movie that I also watched. This one
also getting really good reviews, but unfortunately not you know,
not doing well in the box office. That's bell Arena,
the john Wick spinoff, starring on Ada Armis, Keanu Reeves,
(40:17):
Norman Retis. Yeah, apparently, And I saw this movie. It's
a good movie. If you like the john Wick films.
There there's so much good action in this that it
obviously is the same universe and the same you know,
you know, the writers and all this other stuff, so
it fits right in perfectly. But the action is on
a level that you can imagine john Wick doing all
this stuff, and ended the Armis's character, she's not as
(40:40):
good as as john Wick because because they have and
it's not really a spoiler, but they had like a
one on one fight and john Wick is just like
ten times better than her. He's kind of like not
toying with her, but he's easily beating her. But she's
not giving up, but he's like easily beating her. So
she's really good. He Keanu is really good in this film.
But despite the really good reviews, box office performance considered
(41:03):
to be very underwhelming compared to the initial expectations. The
film has made over ninety five million dollars globally. However,
it is made on a budget of ninety million dollars.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, so this is gonna be a while before it
makes its money better.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Yeah, so I would I would not be surprised that
this got pulled into like streaming services relatively sooner than later.
But I think it's a good movie. If you're a
fan of the John Wick stuff, this is really good.
They're like really good sequences, really good scenes that really
stand out. And on An Armis is really good in
this film, so excuse me.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
So, Yeah, I love annad Armis in almost everything that
she does. Yeah, I think that they've put out a
lot of behind the scenes how it was made, the training,
the fight sequence.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
It's amazing what they what they go through to make fees,
and I think that they've been trying to build up
that hype. I think that they've in doing the marketing.
So I'm surprised that it's been so underwhelming.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, so yeah, if you if if you are a fan,
I would recommend watching this sooner and then later go
to the movie theater watch it on a big screen
because the action scenes are very good. It's gripping. There
are two scenes in particular which involve clearing rooms and
grenades and also a flamethrower sequence, Like you don't see
flamethrowers that often anymore in films, especially done so well,
(42:29):
where you have like two people and an armists and
this and this, like this other bad guy fighting each
other with flame throwers.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Fight fire with fires.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
It's crazy and sometimes water too, but like it's really
good stuff. Like it's like like the stunt work. Kudos
to the stunt team, stunt coordinators and an armists for
putting in the work and not only firearms training but
also physical training. One thing I like about this is
that and they tell you right off the bat that
you know, ened armists, you are a small woman. We
(43:00):
can train you as much as you can, but at
the end of the day, like you are physically weaker
than many men you're going to go up against. So
you need to adapt. You need to fight how you
fight and not try to fight like, you know, by
using brute force by like like somebody else would. You
have to be adaptive, you have to improvise, you have
to be like, you know, resilience and you know, there
are good portions of this film where she's getting her
(43:22):
butt whooped, but it's cool because she kind of jackie
chans it up by using like things around her to
like to her advantage, and so I think it's really
good stuff. Check it out for those unfamiliar. Basically the
story an assassin trained in the traditions of the Rusco
Roma organization sets out to seek re revenge after her
father's death. Plain and simple, kind of like the first movie,
(43:43):
the first John Wick. John Wick's dog gets killed and
because of that, a lot more people get killed. This
is basically that I recommend it go watch.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
Yes, I mean it's true for it's the genre. It's
expected the genre.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
Do you feel like you would have want, say a
little bit more of a complex plot or no?
Speaker 1 (44:04):
For these type of movies, you don't need you know,
three angled or like forty chests. For these movies, you
just need a simple character who's like, hey, I was wronged.
I'm gonna make your rights. Yeah, and anybody who gets
in my way, they're not gonna have a good time.
So if you want to have a good time, go
(44:25):
watch Ballerina in theaters while you can. A lot of
people expected to watch a lot of movies this weekend.
Two movies coming out that a lot of people are
excited for. Twenty eight years later. That is the third
movie from the twenty eight days Later, twenty eight weeks later.
Now it's twenty eight years later. This is expected to
(44:45):
make between twenty eight and thirty million dollars. Elio, Ilio,
Elo Ellio. This is an animated film. I don't know
much about this one.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Okay, very excited about Ello. It's about a little boy
who's missing an eye. He's sort of an outca and
he his dream is to get abducted by aliens.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Who's has a dream about that?
Speaker 3 (45:06):
I know, I know that's my dream, just to hitchhike
my way across the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
That was a great series of books and movies also,
But yeah, so he's trying to make a friend. He
doesn't have any human friends, and hey, lo and behold,
he gets abducted by aliens, makes a cute little friend
and has to bring humanity and all of these beings together,
(45:32):
and it just it looks really cute, It looks really fun.
Me and my kids are really excited about seeing that one.
And that is out this weekend in theaters.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
So yeah, Pixar film AMC Tuesday Movie Tuesday Tuesday, Yeah,
may make between twenty five and thirty million dollars and
it's opening weekend, and How to Train Your Dragon expected
to rake in another forty to forty three million and
its second weekend release. Speak about AMC really quick, since
I'm ranting and raving. Did you hear about how they're
adding more commercials?
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yes, AMC, it's his nightmare.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Did tell you, We told you repeatedly over multiple episodes,
and try to drill this point home. You're going in
the wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Did you not read his emails?
Speaker 1 (46:15):
He did not read my threats, my my anonymous threats
that I'm not taking ownership over. I really didn't do that,
but imagine if I did. Yeah, more commercials, Yeah, I
understand you need money to survive. I get it, but
this isn't the way.
Speaker 3 (46:31):
It is so funny that we keep ranting about this.
You in particular, it's rubbing off on my son. It's
rubbing off. He's like we were in the theater and
he's like, James would hate this.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
No. Yeah, so no, even more even more? Is this
AMC specific?
Speaker 1 (46:49):
AMC now they say they say that there are like
five other theater chains that have done this over the
past four year or like or over the past four
years they've introduced something similar where they add another commerce
and according to their reporting, it hasn't affected sales or
whatever or whatever. So AMC is like, it hasn't affected
the theater going experience for those people in those movie theaters,
(47:11):
So it shouldn't, you know, affect our audience.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
It's affecting me acation.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yeah, what is AMC is now stand for? All more commercials?
Speaker 3 (47:24):
