Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike joined with my wife and
co host Kelsey. How are you I'm tired. I just
looked at myself.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Okay, that's a very honest if you're only.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Listening to this. We also posted on YouTube and I said, man,
I'm looking rough. You ever get that when you open
up your phone and you have the camera on and
it has that angle from me from the bottom and
you're like, oh my gosh, it just ruined my day.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Every Tuesday, have you heard of the concept of office air? No?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Uh yes.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's a thing where like the air in your office
and being in an office all day can make you
look uglier. And who I am Tuesday morning at eight
am when I go into the office is not who
I am Tuesday at four pm when I leave, I
am a different version of myself. She has been through it,
She's been through the ringer. We also have like two
different mirrors in our bathroom at my office, and one
of them I look good and then the other I'm like, uh.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, Sometimes just looking at myself in the mirror ruins
my day. And I also just got a haircut and
it's a little too fresh right now, so I feel
like more of my faces. So if you want to
watch on YouTube, if you.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Want to be absolutely ugly and tired we look today,
check it out. You look great. I do not, but
I don't agree. The back of my head is gonna
be honest front face the camera. It's hair washed day
and I have a lot of dry shampooing, and the
women watching are probably like, yeah, we can tell.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We're like held together with close pins behind our heads.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Basically just it's like held together by like doc tape.
It's the end of the month.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, another month. We're gonna talk about the best and
worst movies of April. After we're done trashing ourselves. In
the movie review, we'll be talking about The devil Wares
Prodded too, which I got more excited for because you
were really excited for it.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Because we and then we rewatched the original. It's a
great movie.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's a great Ann Hathaway year. And then in the
trailer park, I'll be talking about trailer for the final
Jackass movie, which.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You'll be seeing, so well, yeah, I'm not. I went
to the last one. I had a lot of regrets.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think I'll enjoy it being able to go see
it by myself because when we watched it with when
I watched it with you, I was like, maybe she'll
like it. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
You know, there's a lot of things that I will
watch with you or be in the vicinity of and
I just can't do it. It's too gross. It's like
some of the physical stuff, it's just really gross.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, well I'll go watch throughout myself. Well, thank you
for being here, thank you for being subscribed, And now
let's talk movies from the.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Podcast Network Movie Mikes Movie Podcast.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Kicking it off now in April, what was the best
movie you saw?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I gotta say April's a bit of a dud month.
It's not my favorite movie of the year. It's not
anything that I'm like, oh my gosh, I have to
see that again. But I will go with the drama.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Well, I do think that is one of my favorite
movies of the year. Not unexpected because I love Robert
Pattinson and love Zendaya. It was a really hard movie
to talk about that I didn't even do a review
here on the podcast because it's kind of hard to
mention without giving the spoiler.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
And we both saw the spoiler before we saw the movie.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, the news story came out and I was like, man,
I didn't want to know. But I still think if
you know going into it, it's still a good movie.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yes, I loved that Alana Heim's character is actually maybe
the worst character. Like I don't think it's and this
isn't any but I don't think it's Sindaea's character. I
think it is Alanaheims character.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Which is funny. I feel like she is the modern
villain when it comes to creating new characters that you
just hate on screen every time they appear. Yes, I
love movies that kind of split the audience where you're
that is a movie that you go into you either
love it or you hate it. You don't just feel like,
oh it's okay, it was good. It's so divisive in
the plot, in the imagery, in what the movie. Again,

(03:45):
I don't want to say a whole lot about it,
just what the movie is about is gonna split you
either way, and at times you even feel bad enjoying
it for the subject matter because it's nothing that I
take lightly whatsoever, which I also think. Where we saw
it at the Bellcourt here in Nashville, the audience was
a little like even for me, like, uh, guys.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Too much laughter. Yeah, it was like. I also thought
I got crapped on by a bird before we went
into the movie. So it did happened, It did impact.
It was probably sap from a tree. But we were
trying to buy lemonade from this kid's stand and all
of a sudden, I just felt something on me, like
near my eye and on my arm, and it was
brown and it was questionable, but because I am basically

(04:24):
an adult girl scout, I have everything in my purse,
and so I just used like a shower wipe and
called it a day.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I do really do think it was sap, because on
my run yesterday I ran under some trees and I
saw it falling and it looked the exact same way.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
It just when something falls out of a tree on
you and it's like brown, your first thought.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Isn't sap, Yeah, You're it's bird poop.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah. And then I didn't get to buy lemonade from
the kid, and I actually felt the worst about that.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I've also seen some kids set up like that selling
Pokemon cars. I gotta find those kids.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
So that does sound like a scam. And when you
get thrown into a van, and that is how they'll
get you. Actually, I don't know that that's legit. I
kind of think they just have like a big adult
come along and throw you in the van after.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
What would be your thing. They're selling this on the
side of the road. This is how they kidnap you.
Minus Pokemon cards.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Okay, well, is it like brand new somethings.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Anything you could sell on the side of the road.
Pokemon card is not the most conventional thing to sell
on the side of the road. But I saw one
kid doing it.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Mine was about to be dark. I was about to
say iced coffee, but then they're gonna like lace it
with things different for women. I don't think I'm buying
anything on the side of the road.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Really didn't we have? We stopped for strawberries or a movie.
I think that was okay, or oh hi, that's oh hi,
that was a movie.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Movie.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
You ever watch a movie and then think that was
your own memory. That just happened to me. I was like, no,
that one time we were going out. I was like,
oh no, that was a movie.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
We don't go out that many. That was like a
road trip.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I really thought we bought fresh fruit on the side
of the road, but that was a movie.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I bought peaches from the peach truck when they had
the drive through location here, but that's not on the
side of the road. So I think I'm gonna pass
on buying anything on the side of the road as
a woman. And again there's that one. If that one
listener is listening that hates how much I talk about
being a woman and how things are hard, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
You should try being a woman.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
You should try me try it, sir.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
For my best of the month, it goes to Super
Mario Galaxy. I did love it out of everything in April,
and we'll go through the entire list at the end
of the at the end of this, but that was
the only movie I was really excited to go and
see in theaters, because although I was excited for the
drama because it was Robert Pattinson and Zendeia, not in

(06:36):
the same way that I'm excited for a movie that
I am part of a fandom and have been for
a very long time. And even though those movies aren't
the most complicated, not even those movies aren't made for
me anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh but I think they are.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think they kind of are. I was just genuinely
excited to go see that movie that and of everything
we saw, that was my favorite in theater experience, even
though I rated the drama higher. I just enjoyed even
going trying to get a Yoshi popcorn bucket before, which
I knew they were gonna be sold out, and then.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay, my friend Mandy did offer to get you on.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
At that point, I was like, you know what, I
think spending almost fifty dollars on a Yoshi popcorn bucket
probably wasn't the best idea. It's kind of one of
those things. If it's not in the moment, I'm over it.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
The stitchbucket still work.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, I feel like it's kind of my rule with
collectibles too, Like I could easily go online and just
order things off of like eBay, but it's not the
same to me. I like the search and the hunt
for it. That's more exciting to me than just owning
the item.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
See. I love the dopamine of buying an item, tracking
it and then it gets here.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, different experiences, but out of everything we saw in April,
that was just my favorite experience met with what I
believed to be a movie that was better than the
original one. Also would be excited if Glenn Powell got
his own movie. Yeah he did a Starbucks movie, but
still not word on that. I'd watch that, all right.
The worst movie you saw in April easy? Was it?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
The outcome outcome? Whatever? That Apple movie outcome? Keanu Reeves was,
that's me watching it.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
It felt bad from the beginning.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
It started, and I was like, oh, it's Apple. Your
shows are better than your movies. Stop making movies, I
said it. Keep making shows. Your shows are phenomenal, They're great.
I will wait a year to watch the seasons. Stop
making movies.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
There hasn't been one definitive Apple movie. I will say.
I'm gonna say this that I already know what you're
going to say, But Coda is probably their best movie,
one for best picture.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I'm looking right into the camera. Would you like to
tell the people why I am?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I watched it without you, but that is the best
Apple movie.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
And there hasn't been one that I feel has defined
a platform, anything that has made somebody want to buy
a subscription. They have big stars, but they don't have
any good movies that I would really recommend to people and.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
F one count or no because it was in theaters,
but it wasn't Apple.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
I will only count the ones that went directly on.
That's what I was thinking, because even Eternity is now
an Apple like Apple, but I don't really count that
one because it came out in theaters. I mean they're
straight to platform movies that have been a hit.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
That's what I was thinking. I was just confirming the room. Yeah,
some of those ranking partnerships.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
And it's like other studios involved too, But I'm talking
just the straight up Apple movie. But I don't know
why they keep giving Mark Wahlberg movies. He's on that
platform way too much contract with them. Yeah, but the
movie is basically which is weird that they did another
movie so soon after the George Clooney movie. He plays
a fictionalized version of himself. Same thing, but j Kelly

(09:39):
was Netflix, Yes, their version of it, like, we got
to get this out, and they got it out like
maybe six months later. He's at the risk of getting canceled.
Much like Keanu Reeves. He's like the most like celebrity.
He's won a couple of Oscars.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
He was a kid star and then.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
He gets blackmailed. Essentially, if he doesn't pay a bunch
of money, somebody is gonna release some footage of him
doing something really incriminating. So he goes on an apology
tour to try to find who was doing this. He's like,
who in my life hates me? Let me go say
I'm sorry to everybody around me, and then maybe it
can stop this video from coming out.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I also feel like when a movie, a movie's run
time is not that much longer than an HBO episode.
I'm like, I kind of think they got to the
cutting room and they like cut so much, and then
they were like, well, we still have to put something out.
It was like an hour and twenty four minutes. That's
like a Euphoria episode. Yeah, and that's with credits too.
It could have been like one episode of a show.

(10:36):
Movie could have been an email.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
But that was your worst of the month. For my
worst of the month, speaking of straight to streaming movies,
I'm gonna go with Thrash on Netflix, which was.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Not as bad as I expected.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I guess technically it is a disaster movie because you
have a Category five hurricane coming towards a fictional talent
in South Carolina, and then all the waters that floods
the town are filled with sharks, and now it's not
the rising waters that you have to worry about, it

(11:10):
is all the sharks that want.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
To eat you, the sharks in the rising water.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So it was kind of like a modern day Jaws.
They even use the iconic Jaws shot inside of the movie,
which the level of acting in this was just wild
that this is acceptable. It was giving sci fi, which
I saw somebody ask recently if I think that streaming
movies are killing theaters. I really don't think so anymore.

(11:35):
Like I think there was that threat a little bit
coming out of COVID when movies are going to streaming
at the same time and you could pay the twenty bucks,
I don't think it's that that is the case anymore.
I think there is still a demand for movies to
come out in theaters that people are paying money to
go see, and I don't think there's that battle because

(11:56):
of the quality. Where on Netflix you get a movie
like Thrash, which is still a fun movie, I could
see why people would be entertained by it. It doesn't take
itself too seriously, but it's not something you'ger to watch
and want to rewatch again. It just feels like content
to me.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's like you're saying, it's like a sci fi movie.
Did you ever watch movies on the Sci Fi Channel? Yeah,
it felt like a like a disaster. It felt like Sharknado.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
But it's not like The Day After Tomorrow coming out
in theaters a level of a movie.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, that was that movie can't be replicated.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't think that anything that has come out straight
to streaming in the last i'd say even in the
twenty twenties has even threatened the attention, the money, and
the overall impact that a movie in theaters has had.
I wouldn't hate it if it did. It's just not
at that level of the same quality thrash. It's one

(12:47):
of those movies you watch and it's so ridiculous that
you kind of have a good time at because you
didn't really set out to watch it with me. It's
just kind of on the background and it's so over
the top. It's so ridiculous that it's kindkind of like
watching a dumpster fire.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, and my best friend was in town when you
watched it, and we all got our coffee and just
kind of sat on the couch and then after thirty
minutes she and I were was like, why are we
watching this with you?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Like this isn't even good? Nope, not at all, but
it sucks you in. Well, that was our best and
worst of the month. We'll go through all the April
movies now. We did start it off with the Drama,
which I gave a four point five out of five.
What would do you given that three point seven five
super Mario Galaxy, I gave it a four out of five.
For outcome, I gave a two point five out of five,
and I feel that's a little bit generous one. We've

(13:32):
all won one. We finished it. It had some redeeming qualities.
Towards the end of it.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I had ice cream to eat while I was watching it,
and that's the only thing and I redeemed that experience.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
And then I saw Leek Cronin's The Mummy in theaters
and I sat front row, which some people were saying
that I'm a psychopath for loving the front row. I
concur but it made me enjoy it more because I
sat completely just surrounded by a screen. I gave that
one a three point five out of five. Thrash I
gave two out of five We saw Michael, which I

(14:03):
ended up enjoying way more than I thought I was
going to, being that I'm not a Michael Jackson fan whatsoever.
Same I gave that one a four to five. What'd
you think of it?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Three point five?

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Did you like it?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I did? I love Coleman Domingo, Clemen Demingo in anything else.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Watching, even as a villain, even as a villain.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
With those scary gray eyed contacts. I just I love
Colemon Domingo.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
I kind of forgot that it was him at times
because I knew going into obviously he was in the movie,
and then you kind of forget it once you see
him because he looks so different with all there was
a lot of great prosthetics in this movie, and I
did look up a lot of the things as far
as like accuracy, as far as to what really happened.
There were some things that were embellished a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Some characters, creative liberties.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Some characters who were meant or made out to be
bigger parts of Michael Jackson's life than they actually were,
Like Miles Teller's lawyer in the movie, who He's like,
that's my guy, apparently in real life they weren't. I
guess they kind of had a falling out and he
didn't really have as much of an impact as they
made it seem in the movie.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
What about his driver, Billy, he was, Yeah, I saw the.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Real picture of him, has had his security looked exactly
like him. Okay, But as far as like Miles Teller's character,
I think it was because, like the guy owns some
part of his like a state or had some kind
of and wrote that part to be bigger than it was.
So that's kind of weird when you think about it. Interesting,
But overall I enjoyed that. I historically don't like music biopics,

(15:24):
but I think of the ones we've seen recently, like
Elvis Yah, A Complete Unknown, eh better, Bruce springsty movie
pretty boring.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Which like, when I look back, I'm like, it's kind
of tragic to make a movie about Bruce Springsteen boring
because Bruce Springsteen is not a boring person, and his
career is not boring and his accomplishments are not boring.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
But how did you make a movie that was so boring?
There was just no story in it. What I liked
about Michael as it had a beginning, middle, and end.
It also had a villain, so there was that constant
friction of Michael Jackson and his dad. That was the
overall theme of the movie. The overall, here's what this
story is about. Bruce Springstey movie. There's a plot. There
was some things that he went through that was sad

(16:03):
I didn't know about him, But overall, there wasn't any
kind of action or tension throughout the movie that made
it feel like, Okay, I learned something about him after
watching this. A few songs here and there, and that
was it. Not even really a whole lot of performances,
which I liked about Michael Jackson. They didn't have like
specific songs at every single point of the movie. Really
just the big performance at the end. Sometimes just too

(16:25):
much music.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, And I'm if I wanted that much, I'd watch
like a concert documentary or I'd watch a concert on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Oh, which I do want to see the Billie Eilish
concert because I'm not even the biggest fan of her music.
But if James Cameron directs your concert movie, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, I want to see that one as well.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Our TV show of the month, I think we might
have the same one unless you watch another show.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Who do you want to see? One?

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Two Rectrum. Oh, we haven't finished Marco though.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
It doesn't have to be one that we finished Shrinking
when we said Shrinking was our best.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
For Mark finish season one.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, we didn't finish the whole show.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
I only do shows that I'm completely finished on.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Well, we did finish Love on the Spectrum season four. Yes,
quite possibly my favorite season.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I love this show. And I watched a clip of
an interview with Madison from Love on the Spectrum Machine
and her dad were on the Taylor Latner's podcast The Squeeze,
and Madison's dad said that like one of the reasons
they that Madison agreed to do the show and one
of the reasons they love the show is that it
has fun, but it is never making fun of the
individuals on it, and it's that's exactly what it is. Like.

(17:36):
It's lighthearted and it is just the perils of dating
and which I think everyone experiences, whether you're neurotypical or not.
I think that everyone like has those experiences, and it
just the cast members are so fun and like full
of life and I love it. Dylan is obviously the

(17:59):
star of the season.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's dating in its purest form, where I don't even
like reality TV shows, much less dating reality TV shows.
I watch none of them because it's usually people who
have an angle who want to get famous from a
TV show. Yeah, it's all feels fake and like they're
manipulating it. But this feels more like less like a
reality TV show and more just like a documentary, which

(18:21):
really what it is.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
And just a way to like put stories out there
of what dating looks like when you are on the spectrum,
and like that there are things that some people there
are very similar things, and maybe there are some things
that are a bigger challenge and a harder thing to
get through, And yeah, I love that. It is fun,
but it is never making fun of the individuals on

(18:42):
the show.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
For probably the two weeks after we finished it, it
was my entire TikTok feed where I would even see
cast members popping up by like popping up on TikTok lives,
and that was just my entire life for like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'm still on Dylan TikTok with Dylan's mannerisms.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
But I love this show even if you I guess
you don't have to watch all the seasons. It helps
because some people recur. Yes, But I feel like if
you have never seen the show and you just wanted
to hop right in, you could just start at season four.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
And I think, yeah, season four has quite a few
new people. Yeah, as well.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
I feel like all the storylines are kind of carried out.
I guess some of the people from like two seasons ago.
You might be like, who are these people? I still
think if you hop in now and enjoy it, go
back and rewatch the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
We started with season two, and then we went back
to one, and then watched three and four when they
came out.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
But shows are just getting seasons are just getting shorter
and shorter. I don't like it. It's just like we
watch it and then we're done in a weekend. What
happened to twenty six episode seasons.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Forty five minutes a piece. They don't make them like
that anymore. No, but mine is Margo's Got Many Troubles,
which we're watching on Apple.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
And you read the book. I did read the book
a long time ago. No, last month, Oh okay, but
it's been out of all March.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, it was my book club's book for maybe February.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, the TV show is really good. I love the
entire cast.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Cast is so good. El Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Is on Apple makes great TV shows.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Not Nia kolbe Yidman was in this week's episode, Greg Kinnear. Yeah,
phenomenal cast. It's just funny, like El Fanning does such
a good job. Highly recommend, very r rated.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
But yeah, it is about a woman who gets pregnant
and then turns to only fans to provide for a kid. Yeah,
but I feel like the way they handle all the nudity,
it doesn't feel like we're watching euphoria.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, and you'll the idea of her doing only fans
to provide for her kid if they follow the book
becomes more of a plot line as it goes on,
and like that bias or just like the narrative of
what jobs moms should or shouldn't have to provide for
their kids. It's a bigger plot line in the book,
so I'd anticipate that it kind of unfolds.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Like Elle Fanning is becoming one of my favorite actors.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
The Fanning sisters can do no wrong. They're perfect. They
have remained unfazed by Hollywood. I feel like they're so normal.
They are just like they're just seeming very kind people.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I mean, you feel like at sentimental value, Predator, Badlands.
She's also going to be in the new Hunger Games movie.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
They're both gonna be in The Nightingale Yes by Kristin Hannah.
There's a lot of good stuff, so much good stuff.
And I watched an interview that Michelle Pfeiffer, so Dakota Fanning,
Michelle Pfeiffer, and Sean Penman. I am sam early two thousand's.
Oh yeah, Elle Fanning was probably a baby at the time,
and Michelle Fifer's like, I've known her since then because
I worked with Dakota Fanning and now I'm working for

(21:40):
her in a role and so I'm just like they
have literally stood the test of time in Hollywood and
like really just seem like normal people. And they're so
supportive of each other with like Oscar nominations and just
all these things, and I'm like, I'm constantly rooting for them.
So I love it. But yeah, it doesn't feel like
we're watching euphoria, which why are we watching the season
of Euphoria?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I love the first episode, second episode was okay, the
last one has a lot too much. They're just going
pure shock value at this point.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
It's just shock value, and it's just it's gross. It's
not even like provocative anymore. It's literally just gross.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah. I don't know why I'm defending it so much.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, why are you defending it?

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I think I just like the cinematic nature of it.
Every episode feels like a movie. It's shot unlike anything
else to where. Just the style of the show I
feel keeps my attention. But I feel like the writing
is starting to get worse and worse.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't like it. I don't like it. I'll watch
it to the end, but I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I just gotta know how it finishes up. And because
this is all we're going to get after this, it's over.
Thank god, You're a book of the month.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Okay, I'm going to go with I technically read it
last month, but it just published this month. It is
Yesteryear by Carol Claire Burke. And if you follow my
reading instagram at Kelsey rod Reads, there you go. You'll know.
I haven't shot up about it. I'm making everyone in
my life read it. It is so good. It's about
a kind of trad wife influencer and she runs this

(23:03):
like multimillion dollar Instagram and she has this perfect family
and then she wakes up one day and she's back
in like the eighteen hundreds, living in this world that
she's like kind of cause playing in, Like she wakes
up and instead of like having appliances hidden behind the camera,
she like really has to heat everything over the stove
and there's no microwave and there's no conveniences and you

(23:23):
have to figure out like how did she get back
here in time? And I love it. I think it's phenomenal.
I read it on my kindle and then my friend
went to a book signing event with the author, and
I was like, I have to have this like physical
copy because I want to reread it. And for me
to want to reread a book with as long as
my TV rad list is is really something. But I
listened to an interview that Kate Kennedy on Be There

(23:46):
and Five did with the author, and Carol Burke talks
about how it is meant to like when you get
to the end, she wants you to almost reread it
and then find all the easter eggs that she left
along the way, and like, see if there's things that
you read in a different way after you finished reading
it once, so I need to go back and reread it.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
And then isn't Ann Hathaway going to be a part
of the movie that.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
And Hathway bought the rights and yeah, I think her
production company bought the rights and she's gonna start in it.
And that was like before the book was even released.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Which reminds me of movie. I forgot to mention the recap,
Mother Mary.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh yes, and our Ann Hathaway movie marathon.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Where I'm trying to see all and Hathaway movies that
come out this year. There are five of them, Mother Mary.
I think I probably enjoyed it a little bit more
in you more than you.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, I miss the first fifteen minutes because I was
a podcast Linne so long, guys, I stoodn't line for
thirty five minutes for But it's one of those things
where I was like, I'm committed. You also can't really
get out of that line. Yeah, you're kind of once
you're in it, you're in it and you gotta go
upstream to get out of it. And they had like
not this person's fault. They had one person taking orders
by the time I got up there, and I was like, guys,
it's a Saturday night at seven pm, but what are

(24:49):
we doing.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
She plays a pop star that's kind of going through crisis,
goes back to reconnect with her old friend who is
a dress designer. She needs the perfect dress for a
big performance. And then you kind of learn all about
their history why they stop talking, and then there's this
kind of supernatural element to it, which I enjoyed. Yeah,
it felt like watching one of my dreams or nightmares,

(25:12):
my adventures that I go on at night. That's what
it felt like to me. I just have a big
fascination with dreams.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
I'm just laughing that you just reveal to everyone that
you call them adventures.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, like going on it's like jumping aboard a ship
to go on an adventure in my subconscious He.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Really doesn't, right, he gets a mad meyseck. Time for
my adventure.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
End it with some movie questions. Yes, we have five
movie questions to finish out the episode.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
What's your Marvel hot take?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
My Marvel hot take is that The Incredible Hulk is
the best movie of the MCU Phase one. It is
historically known as the worst movie a Phase one, but
I think when it comes to overall, just it being
the best story structure, having the best hero, which I
still think the Incredible Hulk is the strongest and best Avenger.

(26:02):
His movies have just not been well received, even though
I've loved each iteration for different reasons. I thought Edward
Norton did a really great job as Bruce Banner, so
I think it has what I love both what I
love best about both sides of the character. Great Bruce Banner,
great Hulk, and now I just don't like that Mark

(26:24):
Ruffalo's Incredible Hulk is so comical and not as intense.
I think it's the best movie in the MCU Phase one.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
All Right, I don't think I have a hot take,
so I won't answer that one. What's a remake that's
better than the original?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think the Parent Trap, which I remember watching the
original Parent Trap from nineteen sixty one.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
It's a great one.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I had a music teacher in elementary school who she's like,
we're gonna watch the Parent Trap today, and we were
all excited, and then put on the Origin and then
it was the original Parent trap in black and white.
I'm like, who does.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
This sounds like something you would enjoy it?

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Don't tell them I saw that.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, that is easily better than the original.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I'm gonna go cheaper by the dozen.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
I forgot about that being a remake.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
What was the original year? I don't even remember.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm also gonna assume the sixties, nineteen fifty. Oh my gosh,
that is an old movie. Yeah, both of those movies
were greatly improved remakes.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Love. We re watched both of those a couple years ago.
By the dozen, they stand the test of time.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I like them both.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I love when Steve Martin does the funeral for Beans
the frog. He hipped and he hopped, he loved to
hip hop. That's just it's a quotable movie. It's great, Okay,
next question. Movie that made you cry unexpectedly.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Blue Beetle, And we saw it twice in theaters and
it got me both times.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And you've watched it so many times since.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
And even though the scene itself is sad, I wasn't
expecting that in a DC superhero movie, where once it hit,
I was like, why am I getting so emotional right now?
And I was like, surely by the time I go
watch it again, take my mom to go see it,
I won't feel the exact same way. But no, hit
me again. Even rewatched it, I think earlier this year

(28:12):
still hit me.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah. Here's the thing. I know, this is so weird.
I don't cry at movies. I cry at tiktoks about
animals and elderly people. It is really nice things.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It is really hard for a movie to make me cry.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I just don't really cry at movies, and I don't
know why, but yeah I'll I'll cry it like seven
tiktoks in a row, and you'll look over and you're like,
are you good, And I'm like, this puppy had adopted
from the side in the road.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Another one that kind of got me was My Old
Ass with Aubrey Plaza. There's a moment of that oh yeah,
oh my god. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Not full on tears, but I mean up up, yeah, Okay.
A movie You walked Out of Strays, which was the
They were animated ish, but it was celebrities doing voices

(28:57):
to dogs and it was really crude.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
When we described the premise, people are probably like and
you thought that was gonna be good. It was a
summer movie, Barrel was it. We'll go see anything in
the summer because it's free AC.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I think that was the week that we didn't have AC,
probably and we still left during that one.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Mine would be I've told the story before. I Mayriorman
woud have taken my grandma to see Talladaga Night's a
Bell out of Rickey Bobby h and we left.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
We also left during Babylon.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
We did leave during Babylon.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
There was a big gross scene and we didn't see
the movie getting any better. Some people love that movie.
I still see it pop up and I'm like, nah,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah. That's the nice thing about the Regal Unlimited, as
if we don't like a movie, we're.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Like, yeah, I'm out. After twenty minutes, I'm like, I
just don't see this getting any better. Let's let's say
it with some time.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
All right. Your celebrity crush growing up?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Final question, I think if it's movie related, it's Emma
Watson because of Harry Potter, and I was the same
age as all of them growing up, so it was
kind of like I went to school with them. Yeah,
So I think easily, Emma Watson if it's TV shows,
it was Miley Cyrus because I had the montana also

(30:02):
about the same age.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Mine is so easy. It is Channing Tatum and stop up,
Like do I need the same more? I have no
more to say because that it was my favorite movie.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Channing Tatum Step Up or Channing Tatum now as an
adult Channing.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Tatum Step Up, which I was just asking a friend earlier.
The concept of Zoe Kravitz being engaged to Channing Tatum
a year and a half ago and now being engaged
to Harry Styles, like my brain, it's not computing to me.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I guess I never saw Zoe Kravitz in Channing Tatum
out in public that much that I kind of forgot,
or it's been that long.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, I think it's just been a long they were
always out in public together.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Because I've seen so much of Zoe Kravitz and Harry
Styles out.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Has it only been eight months?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, maybe they're barely engaged.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Like the concept of Harry Styles getting down on the
knee and asking Zoe Kravitz Marriham like I could find
my brain right.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now, Well, there you go? Anything else?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
No, that's all I got in me all right.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Come back and give my spoiler free review of The
Devil Worst Prada Too. Let's get into it now. A
spoiler free movie review of The Devil Where's Prada? Too?
Kelsey has hopped into this because I think one of
your most anticipated movies of the year.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Absolutely, What did you think about it? It didn't disappoint.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
I was really worried about it because whenever you have
a legacy sequel that comes twenty years after the original,
sometimes it's just nostalgia bate. And there were enough things
that felt familiar, but not that they were just like
reminding you of all the things from the first one.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
It wasn't entire callbacks.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, I would say in the first maybe ten to
fifteen minutes, there were some callbacks. Was your favorite callback
because mine was when they go to the cafeteria cafeteria
and half the ways Stanley Tucci go and she gets
the soup again and that was kind of like that,
oh yeah, remember that from the first one, but that
was really the only time they did that.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, Or even talking about like how like the second
assistant has to take the book to her house every night,
you remember, and she's like whatever you do don't go upstairs.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Oh with a throwing the coat at the Yeah, that
was good too, But I would say even if you
didn't see the first one would be completely.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
It stands alone. I think it is. I described it.
There is enough nostalgia to make you feel like you
are seeing a sequel to one of your favorite movies,
but it is not entirely carried by the nostalgia exactly.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
It doesn't stand on the legs of the other movie.
It's kind of its own thing where there are a
lot of little Easter eggs. Yeah, obviously you're gonna know
the characters more if you've seen the original, but I
think they knew that some people were just gonna go
watch this one.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I have to say. It is hard to make Justin throw.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Ugly, and they did it.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
And they did it ladies and gentlemen, and turn.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Them into basically a Jeff Bezos yes, where he's a billionaire, yeah, billionaire, right,
But they make him unlike himself. I thought that was funny.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
He was like formerly Chunky and then has gone through
his transfervoration.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
But what this movie is about, it is essentially Erreld,
Streep and Hathaway and Emily Blunt all back together again.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I'm sorry you're forgetting my king, Stanley Tucci wors How
could you forget Stanley Tucci to have the Big Three
though he's no, it's the Big Four in this the
Big Four. It's the Big Four.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
So you think they could have done this movie. They
couldn't have done it without Stanley Tucci.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
The fact that you are suggesting otherwise is insane.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
But I feel like it was hard for them to
get them all back. They're all massive stars now.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
But Stanley Tucci is like, he is the heart.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Of this movie. We all need a Stanley Tucci character
in this movie, and so walk it back. Okay, the
Big Four and Stanley Tucci. It is modern day where
magazines are not what they were back when this first
movie came out back in two thousand and five.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Which is true.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Is it weird that I saw this as a horror movie?
Like I watch a lot of scary movies, and it
was this movie that scared me because the digitization much
the world is changing. Because we find Miranda adapting to
social media, adapting to people not reading Runway like they
used to. I found this more horrific because of what
is happening right now in the real world, where I

(34:07):
feel that everything is being taken away from us that
we grew up loving.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Listen, I still love a magazine. I stopped buying them
because they were taking a lot of space on the
coffee table, and I do read them digitally. I'll still
buy them in an airport, Like when we go to
the airport I go to. I don't want to give
away my spots, but I want them to have business.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
In the airport. Don't want to give away your hidden
spot at the airport.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
For what I'm about to say, The Parnassus in the
Nashville Airport is the best selection of magazines, and their
drinks are always cold. I go to the Parnassas in
the Nashville Airport next time and there's not a cold
diduct Prepper.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
I'm gonna be I think us catching our five am flight,
You're gonna.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Be your I'm just saying sometimes you go and drinks
are hot. On at Parnassus, the drinks are always cold.
The magazine selection is superb. They're always so nice. Yeah,
I'll still buy magazines. I love a magazine and I
love like I'm talking like I want to read like Cosmopolitan,
Vanity Fair growing up seventeen Cosmo girl.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I think did you read J fourteen at all?

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Did I read J fourteen? Tiger Beat? Yeah, seventeen seventeen
was a good one. All the quizzes and it's like
how to survive your first day of high school? Throwing
it back to as a kid.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Don't say it. Did you have Nickelodeon magazine?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
I don't remember how that. I was gonna say, Zoo.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Books, oh, Zu book. I thought you gonna say he
had Nickelodeon magazine. I saw those commercials so much, Nickelodeon magazine. Please, man,
those would have been really cool for there is something
to holding something physical, physical media. But that is what
this movie is dealing with.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
That why I still buy books.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, that is why it's a declining. You have Anne
Hathaway's character Andy loser job at the beginning, which that's
the part that struck me, like, gosh, people like jobs
are just going away.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, and we won't say how. Yeah she found out
because that's kind.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Of yeah, you find out about that, and then that
leads to everybody getting back together, which you think about,
man twenty years ago.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Crazy, Okay, I know it's gonna sound dumb because it
was twenty years ago. Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were
twenty three when that movie was filmed. That is wild
because Anne Hathaway was eighteen when she did Princess Diaries,
her first movie, which is crazy. We've been on a big.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh wait kick. We're trying to complete the five Anne
Hathaway movies this year.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
We are a punch card for that.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
We should make one because we saw Mother Mary devil
Ware's Prada. The Odyssey comes out on July seventeenth, The
End of Oak Street comes out on August fourteenth, and
Veritea comes out on October second, which we saw the
trailer before this movie. I'm in.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I'm actually scared that my two friends who see Colleen
Hoover movies with me aren't gonna want to see.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
It's way different. It kind of reminded of The Housemaid
a little bit. Yes, that's what the trailer made me
feel like. But yes, I do want to complete the
five and Hathaway movies coming out this year. So there
were a lot of great callbacks. I will say my
favorite character in this SOE was Stanley Tucci.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
And you just said they couldn't have made the movie
without him.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
I know, I know, but I think he was the
heart and the glue of this movie. And his character
Arc I think is my favorite. Where Anne Hathaway did
a really fatastic job. Is Andy how well she just
adapts to that personality.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Anne half Away can do no wrong. She's beautiful, she's stunning.
She looks so good. I see why they put her
in five movies. It's sane. Halfway renaissance. Also, can we
talk about I want to be fly on the wall
of a family dinner that includes Stanley Tucci and Emily
Blunt because they are related because Stanley met his wife

(37:25):
because she's Emily's sister, and so it's like Stanley Emily,
John Krasinski, Stanley's wife, Like.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
God, can you imagine that?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
We literally can you imagine those vacations. I just watched
a clip and she it was her joking and she's like,
I'm over related to Stanley, and now she's like, I
see him too much. And then she's like, but it's
not bad if he's cooking you dinner, shaking up a martini,
and I'm like, I want to be friends with Stanley Tucci.
I want to be family with Stanley Tucci.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
That was kind of cool when they go to the
Hampton's just that I would just want to go to
the Hamptons as a rich person.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
And then think about like their kids, Like, not only
are your parents Emily Blunt John Krazenski, but Stanley Tucci's
your uncle.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
That's legit.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
How did you feel about the fashion in this movie?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I saw something online that said the styling was terrible
and the fashion was awful. One hundred percent disagree. I
feel like it had to be rage bait because I
thought the style was amazing.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
I don't know anything about women's fashion, but some of
Anne Hathaway's outfits per.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
The tailored pants and like the crisp, like the blazer
and just so good.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
There was one where she was like basically in all
black with like a collar that had like studs or something. Yeah.
That was like, that's such a cool outfit.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, and then they take you inside the like fashion
closet at the magazine.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
So good, Yeah, I would say. Also, Emily Blunt's character
has a really good style evolution throughout the entire thing,
her changing her hair and all these I loved.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Where they're in Milan, and it's just kind of like
a montage sequence of them arriving to each new like
fashion of it, and all in such a stunning look.
It's just them getting out of the car and you're like, oh,
because it's like high fashion.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
They did film a lot of this movie, like in
those actual cities. Yeah. Did you notice in some of
the New York scenes you saw the people of New
York reacting to seeing Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
No, I don't think I noticed. I think I was
looking being like.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh, I know where that is in New York because
I hyper pay attention to extras to see if there's
any extras acting extra. But since they were filming this
actually in New York City and they kept a lot
of it under wraps at times, if you just have
Meryl Streep and and Hathaway on a street in New
York City, people are going to be just.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Well, I would stumble and probably end up in front
of a cap like I would be like not paying attention.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
But I noticed some people who actually made the movie
that you kind of see them react to them. I
think even in the trailer you see somebody take a
picture of an Hathaway.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I love that. That's so good. It made me excited
to go back to New York.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
I know which we are going to go back.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
We are going back the summer. It made me be like,
I know where that is and I can't wait to
go there in Central Park.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
And as many times as we've seen New York City
in a movie, it's still I love it when a
movie is able to recapture that energy, and that is
what the Devilwares product does with like the score behind it.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
And that shot of Central Park. That shot of Central
Park was so cool. I love looking out of the
plane window as you're leaving New York and you still
see all of Central Park.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Did you think that this movie dragged a little at
all on the second act or were you entertained because
it is a bit of a longer movie at about
two hours.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, the regal lap said one forty three, and I
was like, I think this movie is longer. But they
also said it was not rated, so I think they
just didn't up to hit the no. I didn't think
it dragged. I I wanted more. They could have left.
Give me everything that was left on the cutting room floor.
Give me the director, give me the what is it,
Zack Snyder? Snyder, I want the four hour Devil Wears Praduct.

(40:41):
I want Meryl Streem just being Meryl Streek.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Is it weird that I find Meryl Streep sexy?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (40:47):
Because I thought she looks studdying in this movie, and
I did not. I mean, I realized that she's in
her seventies.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
No. I think Meryl Streep is a goddess. I her
daughters are all pheno i'mal actors too. Like, No, the
whole gene pool of Meryl Streep like she's Meryl Streep.
She doesn't look like she's in her seventies.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
She's just not at all. Did you think that there
were too many cameos in this movie? No, there were
a lot of cameos. Though that was the only part
to me that felt that it suffered from what a
legacy sequel does is obviously you have a lot of
people who grew up with this movie and now are famous,
and they have this attachment to it, which it is
kind of cool to think that you were a kid

(41:28):
watching this and now you're being asked to do a
cameo in this Not all of them were like kids,
But there were some.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
No, I don't think so, because I think it was
also representative of like what media is now and you
have a lot of people involved in media and as
the media landscape changes like so, No, I don't think
there were too many.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I guess it is a movie that lends itself to
having celebrity cameos because they are interacting with real people
in New York. So they're just like, here's so and so.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, Like I felt like it was people that would
be at those events.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
I was trying to find wherever they cut Sidney Sweeney's cameo.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
I think the Hampton's.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
I read that it actually might have been. There was
a completely different scene that was like three minutes where
she goes to Emily Blunt's character and they have she's
like a client, and it was Sidney Sweeney was her client.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Oh I thank god they caught out and.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
They took all that out because they said it didn't
make sense to the rest of the movie, which is
weird that they would cut Sidney Sweeney out.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I don't think they're missing anything. It sounds like it
wouldn't have done anything.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
I guess not if they decided we don't really need
this anymore.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
I'm fine with that, and I'm not I'm not trying
to like hate on Sidney Sweeney. I just there's enough
for her.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
That kind of suck. Though. You were like, I'm gonna
be in the Devil Wors product too. She's probably a
huge fan of the original, and you're seeing gets cut.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I can't say I have any sympathy for her. I
think it's a little Unfortunate's just everywhere right now. So
do you want to see the Devil Ware's Prada three?

Speaker 1 (42:54):
No, you don't know. You're good.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
I think I'm good.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Even if this movie makes so much money that they're like,
how about another one?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
I think that ruins the integrity of it because I
was scared for a second one. It's the whole Like,
why they won't do a second Bridesmaids? If the movie
is perfect, let it be.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
I think, yeah, I think they close it out here.
They end on top. They make their money. We unfortunately
didn't get the Devil Wears product popcorn bucket. We didn't
even see them.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Somebody called it the butter burkin. It looked cool, It
did look cool.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
We did see the Mortal Kombat one that they already
have out fifty dollars. You're getting crazy how.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Much your stitch popcorn bucket was.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, but that's a full stitch. That's just the helmet
that goes over the top of a popcorn bucket.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Play.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Theater's got to make their money.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
They have to somehow.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
What would you give the Devil Wears product to.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Four point five out of five Brunello Cucinelli pants.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Oh, I like the rating system, Thank you. I'm gonna
go four out of five stilettos where I really enjoyed it.
But I'm not as big of a fan of the
original as you are. But I really enjoyed the theater
experience because it was a packed house. We had people
cheering before for the movie even.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Started, and I went next to us for annoying though, Okay,
I like reactions, and then we somehow I ended up
driving home next to them the whole time. I looked
over and I was like, Ah.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
I'm okay with reactions in a movie you paid your money,
enjoy how you want. I'm not okay with conversations.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
That's what they were having.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
They were having too much conversation about the movie, about
every single trailer going into it, and then throughout the
movie where I'm like, you can cheer, you can laugh,
you can clap, you can do whatever you want that
movie theater, you paid your money, you do it. But
having a conversation, it's just rude.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
It is rude. It's rude. I looked over and gave
her beside, I don't.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Too because at some point, you're like, my conversation is
more important than everybody else enjoying this movie.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Right, And when it's quiet and all is the sound
from the movie, you can hear someone talking, even if
they're whispering.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I'd rather somebody be on their phone next than talking
on your phone. Scroll. I don't care. Just do not
open your mouth and have a conversation.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
So, yes, we both enjoyed the Devil Wares product. You
anything else about the movie, I think.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Get kicked off the summer movie season.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
We're ready to go.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
I'm ready to go. I'm ready to see movies. I'm
ready to go to New York. I did see that
they had a pop up in New York and it
was like a runway magazine vending machine where you could
like get but the line was apparently around the block.
And I'm like, that's a pop up I would stand
in line for New York. That's cool.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Yeah, there's not many things I would wait in line for,
but that sounds cool.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
That's really cool.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
I mean I'm sitting here wearing my Pokemon button. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I wasn't sure if we were going to address that. Hi,
I need to find some items at Target. Could you
help me?

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Yes, I can help you right here, Just go through
ile F four.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
All right, we'll be back.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Time to head down to movie Mike.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Trailer park. Heish movie Mike. Welcome to the trailer park today.
We are talking about Jackass Best and Last. That was
my very poor impression of Bam Margera, who is going
to be in this movie, but only through archive footage,
which when the title this movie was released, knowing it
was going to be the last Jackass movie, I didn't

(46:04):
think too much about it. Best and Last. I thought
that meant it is going to be the best Jackass
movie ever and the last Jackass movie ever. And by
the looks of this trailer now that some people are
a little bit upset, it is also going to be
some of the best moments, the best of the Jackass
TV show and the Jackass movies, and it set in

(46:25):
with me once I hit play this trailer, and I
was like, oh, yeah, all those great old scenes that
they interwove within the trailer, moments like Steve Woll being
hurled into the air on bungee cords while sitting in
a porta potty, Johnny Knoxville getting annihilated by a bull
flying off in a rocket. All these moments I've witnessed

(46:47):
in movie theaters and on MTV when it premiered back
in the year two thousand and I thought, this is
just the way they are doing this to promote the movie,
showing you all the best moments.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
And then I.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Realized that they are actually going to include this and
what we are going to pay money to go see
in theaters. And some people are upset about this, and
I think those aren't the real fans. That is all
I'm going to say right now, But Jackass, Best and
Last is coming out in theaters on June twenty sixth.
Before I get into more, here is just a little

(47:18):
bit of the Jackass trailer. This is the escape room
from Hell start the game. I think we're moving to
the next room.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
You got it in the Strum's pretty good. Where you
are going to be making history today with the first
robot cross state exam.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
This is what Jackass looks like Hip fifty.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Do you see a finger on that thing?

Speaker 1 (47:44):
That's not a pane grave, it's a claw. That's what baby.
So here's the timeline of this movie. It was announced
just earlier this year. On January seventh, Johnny Knoxville made
a post on Instagram saying this movie was come out
this year. I got excited along with all the rest
of the Jackass fandom. He later indicated in February of

(48:07):
this year that filming for this final movie would start
that same month, and then in April when I covered CinemaCon,
I talked about Johnny Knoxville debuting this trailer that we
just now finally got to see, saying that filming had concluded.
So by the time they started filming in February to
when he went to CinemaCon in April sixteenth and already

(48:30):
had the trailer ready to go to debut there, the
movie was already filmed and edited at least as far
as enough to have a trailer to show people, and
the movie is coming out pretty quick. Whenever it was
announced in January that it was coming out in June.
I thought, Oh, they already filmed this thing. But then
I started to hear Steve O talking about we haven't

(48:51):
started filming yet, and I thought that was interesting because
most of these movies take at least six months to film.
The last movie, Forever, which came out back in twenty
twenty two, did take longer to film, but that was
because it was filmed during the pandemic, so it got
shut down a lot because of COVID. But from my investigation,
picture me sitting in this studio putting up all these

(49:13):
details on the wall and connecting it with yarn. It
looks like they may be only filmed for a week,
And to some that is an indicator of cash grab.
And I am one to call out a cash grab.
I will be so upfront with you whenever a movie
just feels like it's trying to get my money, and
this is one of those franchises. And I'm gonna have

(49:35):
a little bit of bias just because I am such
a huge Johnny Knoxville and jacks Man that I'm gonna
deny it, but a little bit it does feel a
little bit cash grabby what this movie started out was
a concept. Back in twenty twenty five, they got on
a bunch of zoom calls and said, we should find
a way to make a twenty fifth anniversary celebration because

(49:58):
the TV show air twenty five five years ago, and
oftentimes they come together for a special Jackass. The franchise
is also known to do zero point fives to their movies,
which means they'll put out a movie and then maybe
six months or a year later, put out some of
the unused footage and call it a point five and
it feels more like a documentary. That is what this

(50:20):
movie is starting to feel like me now, which has
to me maybe twenty percent less excited just because I
wanted all new footage. But by the looks of this trailer,
it really looks like it's gonna be a celebration of
what this franchise has done over twenty five years with
some new stuff in there. So I am thinking it's

(50:41):
gonna feel more like a documentary than a new movie.
And why I say that it's only non fans who
are upset by this is because the Jackass franchise has
always had an unorthodox format since the beginning. It never
felt like a TV show because it was just a
bunch of clips put together with five second bumpers sometimes

(51:02):
in there of some very obscure random thing with the
sole intention of making you disgust it or making you laugh.
So the TV show had a format unlike anything else.
It was just a clip show with the cast of
characters that you grew to love. And they were able
to take that same format and turn it into a movie.
And if it didn't make sense on TV, which of
course there are clip shows. While that's maybe not the

(51:25):
most novel to something on TV, it is so crazy
to take that concept and put it into theaters and
think people are gonna go spend their money to watch
that on a big screen. But it has worked for
a very long time. These movies have made a lot
of money with a relatively low budget, but you know
what they have paid for them with their bodies. Johnny

(51:48):
Knoxviell says he can't take another concussion. He suffered a
one for the last movie, so he couldn't put himself
in that position to hurt himself in a way that
would be lights out for him. And if you look
at the a of the original og Jackass cast Knoxvill's
fifty five, Steve is fifty one, Pontius is fifty one,
we Man is fifty two, Preston Lacey is fifty six,

(52:10):
Dave England is fifty five, and Aaron McGahee is forty
nine years old. As much as we want to believe
that these guys are invincible and they get paid to
do this, there is no possible way, of all the
injuries that they have suffered, that they could go full
balls to the wall for another movie. That is in

(52:31):
part of why they have brought in this new fresh
blood that you see, for the most part doing the
heavy lifting. The original Jackass crew still does a lot
of the really funny stuff. Johnny Knoxville is still the
ringleader and the host and brings this entire creative concept together.
But then you have this new cast of characters who
are in their thirties and they can do some of

(52:53):
the things that they can no longer do. So I
don't really feel ripped off by the idea that they
are going to incorporate some of the old footage, as
the title says, the best stuff. It felt a little
bit weird to see it interwoven in there, But if
you look at my TikTok feed and clips that I

(53:13):
just never skip past on YouTube. I love going back
and watching those moments and if there's maybe a different angle,
some bonus footage that maybe never aired on A point
five or anywhere else, if it's done in a documentary
style way that it brings new perspective to those clips.
I am still excited about seeing those clips again on

(53:34):
the big screen because the first Jackass movie I ever
saw in theaters was Jackass three. When that movie came out,
I went to the midnight premiere. That was still when
three D movies were huge after Avatar and man to
think going to a midnight movie right now, I couldn't
do it. Sometimes the local theater here will have these

(53:54):
midnight screenings of movies I grew up watching, but they're
on thirty five millimeter, but they're always that midnight, and
I'm like, I don't think I could go watch a
movie at midnight and make it through. So maybe that
is me, much like the Jackass crew, getting a little
bit older. And then part of me wonders, is there
something else going on here? Something that they are not
telling us, Because while there is all this outrage of

(54:17):
this being a cash grab and being thrown together really quickly.
What could inspire somebody to put together something so quickly when,
for the most part, every time a Jackass movie has
come out, it has been a much bigger production, a
much bigger rollout, and there's been a little bit more anticipation.
Is there something else going on with Knoxville that he's

(54:38):
not telling us about his health? Again, this is pure speculation,
but at times in recent history, when we've seen other
people come out with something really quickly or announce a
tour that comes out really quickly, it could mean that
they are about to retire. Sometimes you'll hear about artists
or musicians or actors with some things behind the scenes

(55:02):
that they don't owe it to us to tell us about.
But it gets to a point where they realize they're
going to have to take a step back and not
do some of these things that they are known for.
So they want to do one thing while they are
still healthy and able to go out and promote it
and do things and be out in front of people
before they decide it is time to step away. So

(55:22):
is this Johnny Knoxville saying, although I did see that
he did get announced that he's going to do another
season of Fear Factor, or is this just a way
after twenty five years for them to fully say this
is the time to end it now. You also think
about the climate of movies right now and release dates.
Maybe they only had this window in this summer to

(55:42):
get this movie in or it would have been delayed
much longer. So sometimes it just comes down to a
timing thing. I did see Steve O talking about on
his podcast that he is a little bit nervous that
people are over hyping the movie thinking it's going to
be a completely new movie, which it kind of has
to expect that, because if you hear a new movie
in theaters, and maybe that's even why they're not calling

(56:04):
it Jackass five, even though the last one wasn't called
Jackass four, you're gonna have those people thinking it's all
new footage unless you dive into it a little bit more.
So that worries me just a little bit of how
much actual new footage is going to be included. I
am really pushing and I hope this isn't way too

(56:27):
much to ask for, but at least eighty percent of
new footage, is that asking for too much? For roughly
five days of filming. I don't know, because every movie
has just pushed the limits a little bit more. Even
in the last film, Johnny Knoxville still gave it his
all to give us one final performance. So we're not
going to get that here. So I'm curious to see

(56:48):
what is going to be the big finale in this movie.
That is what every Jackass movie has had, that one
big scene at the end that wins you over. I
hope the opening is just as epic as all the
Jackass movies have been, because that is what they are
known for as well. Because even in Jackass three D,
at the end where the credits hit, that was the

(57:09):
ten year anniversary, and that kind of felt like the
real goodbye where they still went out on a high
note where they were still for the most part at
least in perfect health, at least on screen to where
they could do the more dangerous things and not worry
about them further injuring their heads like they have to
worry about now. That really felt like the end to me.

(57:32):
Everything else to me has been a bonus. So never
expected to get Jackass forever. Really didn't expect this movie
a little bit of a letdown that it's not as
much new footage as we hope for this final movie,
But I'm gonna be excited. I will be there in
theaters to watch Jackass best and last. On June twenty sixth, and.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
That was this week's edition of Movie Mike Trailer.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
Bars, and that is going to do it for another
episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I
gotta get my listener's shout out of the week, which
thanks to everybody who commented and messaged me about last
week's interviews with the director and producers of They Will
Kill You. I actually got a message from the stunt

(58:18):
coordinator on that movie, Carrie Greg and I posted a
clip about the director talking about how they pulled off
the big scene with fire using actual fire, and Carrie
wrote me and said, Hey, I was the stunt coordinator
on that movie. It was a tricky one, especially that sequence.
We developed a new way of doing fire gags and
used a new material that allowed the performers to be

(58:40):
on fire for up to one hundred and eighty seconds
and cut the re prep time to two minutes instead
of ten minutes. Also a massive shout out to Zazi,
she was absolutely amazing Mike here that is the main
actress in that movie. Back to his message, I will
never stop singing her praises. She came in on weekends
to practice more. She did two hours of training every day.

(59:04):
She did ninety five percent of her own stunts. She
is a machine and such an amazing person. Thank you
Carrie for that insight of how that was done, which
that kind of makes sense because for the most part,
in other movies I've seen, you basically are able to
put somebody on fire and then you have to put
them out almost immediately because they have this gel on

(59:26):
them for them not to get burned. Sometimes they wear
some raps. But for them to find a way to
be able to have the performers be on fire for
one hundred and eighty seconds over two minutes, that is crazy.
And that is why that scene looks so authentic and
looks so dangerous. Even though they found the safest way
to do it, was supposed to be the most dangerous

(59:47):
scene in that movie ended up being the easiest for
them to pull off. Also crazy that she did ninety
five percent of her own stunts, which one of my
favorite things to do while watching a movie is try
to pick out when the stunt performer comes in, because
usually they flip it to where you see the back
of them. It's a quick scene. You never see their face.

(01:00:09):
The hair sometimes changes just ever so slightly, and I
always notice. It's also a lot easier to notice when
there's a kid and then it cuts to what is
obviously an adult hopping in as their stunt performer. But
that's some cool insight there. If you missed that episode,
just go back one in the feed. And if you
love horror movies with a lot of crazy stunts with

(01:00:30):
fire and practical effects, check out They will Kill You.
Thank you for being here, thank you for being subscribed,
thank you for killing a friend. And until next time,
go out and watch good movies and I will talk
to you later.
