Speaker 2 (00:13):
A waterloo, all day rose mocktail. I'm having what this
green tea, hot tea, peppermint green tea.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Peppermint green tea. Because we're recording this in the evening,
I would have a coffee right now because I'm dragging
a little bit. I'll third it out. Okay, we're gonna
do our best and worst of it of July. Oh,
but I have it. I mean, it's been a great
month of movies. Well, we'll get into it in the
movie review. We'll talk about Well, i'll talk about Trap,
which is new m Night Shyamalan movie.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, don't come, don't call me in for that horror thriller.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Did m Night Shyamalan deliver or did he leave me
wanting more in the trailer park. You're here because we're
gonna talk about We Live in Time, New a twenty
four movies starring Andrew Garfield and Florence's Pew And it
looks sad.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It does look said East favorite, but also I love
I love a sad movie. But yeah, we'll talk about
why I find it so sad.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Thank you for listening, Thank you for being subscribed. Chat
to the Monday Morning Movie Crew. He Now, let's talk movies.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,
one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like
never before in a movie podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
A man with so much movie knowledge.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He's basically like a walking IMTV with glasses.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
From the Nashville Podcast Network.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
This is movie Mike's movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Let's hop right into it. July was a great month.
What was the best movie you saw in July?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
No question? Twisters.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's a movie that we went to the theater twice
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We have seen it twice in theaters. Now I would
go again.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I do want to see it in the forty X
now because we saw it in Imax, we saw it
in Standard and right after Twisters came out, Deadpool and
Wolverine came out, and it took all the screenings of
forty X out. But it's coming back for a week.
I just could I convince you to go see it
for a third time. I've never done that. I don't
think ever. The only movies I've seen twice recently one
(02:09):
with Blue Beetle because we took my mom to go.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
See it, Black Panther twice once together, once with my family.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And then before that. I think the last movie I
saw twice in theaters was probably Up. But Twisters was
no question could we go to the forty X because
I looked into it. Some of the forty X have
where you wear the three D glasses too, so it's
like fully immersive.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I don't can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I don't think Twisters is that way. I think it's
just all the effects, the rumbling chairs, the wind, the
spit in your face.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think I would turn the water feature off.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think you can. Yeah, you can control some of
the levels.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You could twist my arm.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I just think if there's any movie that you would
go see in forty X, I think it had to
be that one.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I mean, I'm not complaining about seeing Twisters for a
third time.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Worst case scenario we leave if it's two, because I
think you can probably turn off the entire seat, right,
I mean, you look a little lame with everybody else
having fun and you're just sitting there in a normal chair.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I've just heard that, like some people get motion sick.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh yeah, the motions because you don't like roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm so anxious.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I had to convince you in La to get on
the Simpsons ride, and that's a virtual reality ride, so
you're not really going up and down, it's just motion.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But my thing is with glasses. The older I've gotten,
the more I get motion sick. Like I went on
a cruise with my family twice and the first time
I was perfectly fine, and then the last time we went,
I was like, oh, I don't feel great. And then
you and I went on that Sunset cruise and Cobo,
oh yeah, And about thirty minutes in, I was like,
(03:35):
this is a mistake. Like I just felt terrible and
fun fact about that, I went downstairs to the bathroom
because I thought it was going to be sick, and
I slept and fell and came back almost crying. It wasn't.
The views were great, Cobbo was beautiful, but I just
don't do well with boats.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The picture we took at those famous arches was like, oh,
like they had a perfect trip. And then that was
the one fun part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We do have. We have those pictures, framed pictures. But yeah,
real story was I was miserable. It was like unlimited
drinks too with our ticket, and I was up there
like can I get us fry? I was like a
seven up something. So yeah, I'm like that TikTok's out
four thirty. If y'all haven't seen that, it's like a
senior dog. And then the sound is the person being like,
(04:20):
when my senior dog thinks it's time for dinner. What
time did you say? Dinner was four?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Four thirty, four thirty?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay? Thanks with time? Did you say we were eating
at four thirty?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Four thirty?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh? Four thirty? Okay, thank you. But yeah, I feel
like the motions say I'd be willing to give it
a try, though, if you're willing to leave. If I
don't feel good because you strong armed me into the
Simpsons ride, I did not want to do that. I
closed my eyes the whole time.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I feel like, because we've already seen it twice, I
would want to just see what it's like and if
we're not into it, we could leave.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay. I'm also really claustrophobic, so that's why those rides.
It was like we were putting a thing and lock
this Disney world with my fam a couple of years
and a couple years ago. It's been like eight years
ago at this point, and I panicked and got off
virtual reality right before they shut the door, so I
was like, see y'all on the other side.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah. Anyways, Okay, back to Twisters. I could be convinced.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So still five out of five. Watching ten a second
time in theaters, I picked up on more things. I
still won't spoil it for anybody. I like going back
to watch a movie because I know it's coming and
then I can pay attention to those small little details
that I didn't, you know, catch the first time. Put
all the pieces together, and I think after watching it
for a second time, I did feel more of that
(05:39):
camaraderie that I said it kind of lacked from. Yeah,
from the first one, where I'm like, Okay, I think
it takes a few times to watch something to really
feel that, because I didn't really feel it Chase it.
I didn't get that chemistry the first time. I thought
it was more focused on the two leads, But as
I rewatched it, I was like, oh, Yeah, there is
some good camaraderie here. I still don't think it has
(05:59):
the memorable quote. It's like the first one we'll have.
There are some parts, but I.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Also don't feel like the first one has much like tension. Yeah,
if you catch my draft tension, I would rather just
say sexual tension than ever hear you bark on this
podcast again. Please stop.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So for my best I always like to pick a
different one than you, but I think if I've seen
the movie twice so I think it would be Twisters.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Wow, we're gonna have the no.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I decided to go with because I think I went
into Twisters with really high expectations that were met. But
for my best I'm gonna go with the most unique
in theater experience that I had that I think was
the most memorable of July. Even aside from Twisters. It
was Long Legs because I've been looking for a scary
movie that I could really immerse myself in, and also
(06:49):
in a year where everybody's saying that there's so many
remakes and reboots. When it comes to just any movie,
especially in the horror genre, we usually get like you know,
Ten Jason's or Halloweens or whatever. So when it came
to Long Legs, I was like, this is a great
original horror movie. Didn't really reinvent the wheel, but I
just loved it from the moment it started to the
(07:09):
moment it finished. And I think it is a movie
you have to kind of let yourself buy into it,
because if you were just to see like a steal
from it, or if you went into it thinking I'm
gonna poke fun at this and it's not gonna scare me,
then you're gonna be like, ah, this isn't scary at all.
But I think it goes to Long Legs mainly because
I don't want to pick twisters the same.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
As you you could pick twisters.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Because especially because see a third time. But what was
the worst for July? Because it wasn't really stag month,
as I'll recap it here at the end, we.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Saw it was a great month. I'm just gonna go
Beverly Hills Cop four.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You see what it was.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You turned it on on vacation and I was like,
this is, as my little brother would say, trash.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I honestly thought it was going to be better. Well
I don't know why I did. I just thought Eddie
Murphy coming back that he would. I really think what
it came down to is I was never a fan
of that franchise. I think I kind of missed a
boat on that, you know, be a eighties franchise. Bad
Boys was better, Yeah, And I feel like those movies
ended up being kind of similar, like old cops come back,
(08:08):
try to do young things still, and I just don't
really get into kind of the fun nature of the
Beverly Hills cop movies. That entire movie was just him
finding different vehicles to be chased in or to chase
other people in. And it was like him in a
golf car, him in a helicopter, and that was really
the entire movie. And it felt like it was a
(08:28):
straight to cable type movie, which I feel that was
like the biggest grape I've had with Netflix recently. Is
it just feels like they're just putting out really generic stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's like a Lifetime movie a little bit, Yeah, but
for dudes, listen. I used to love a Lifetime movie,
Give Me a Sunday Afternoon in a Lifetime movie, Marathon slaps.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, never really got into those.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
My mom and I used to watch them.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
For my worst of July. I don't really think aside
from Beverly Hills Cop four, we didn't see a bad
movie in theaters. I'll say that. So my worst has
to go to Despicable Meat, even though it's a three
point five out of five, and I still think it
was a good movie. I think overall, I would have
wanted a little bit more from it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You wanted more Minions, which they're doing another Minions movie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Which I'm excited about, and I think it was just like,
I don't really know that they have enough Despicable Me
story to keep making these movies, at least for the
adult Going back to.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
One, I think we just got to go straight Minions,
just straight Minions. Ditch grew.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The entire like family plot in that movie. I was like,
I just want to hear them say funny things. So
it wasn't that it was a bad movie. I just
need more Minions, more dumb action. I do have a
list of my front runners for the best movies of
the year so far. Let me know how you feel
about some of these. I think right now leading the
charge as the best movie of the year still, and
(09:45):
I kind of had to go back and put myself
into that perspective, but when we first watched them, And
that's why I start making this list now, because I
don't want to forget how I felt in January or
in March.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know what recency bias.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, that's why. I mean, all those movies end up
getting nominated for Oscars. Come out in Oscar, She's in November, December,
because it's like, oh yeah, that just came out, fantastic,
give them an award. I try to make notes obviously
by doing this podcast, but just throughout the year. This
is how I feel about these movies right now. Leading
the Charges Challengers, and that's a movie with really just
straight ahead acting. When Zendeya just like she didn't even
(10:17):
need co stars in that movie. That entire movie was
just her.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Could have been a one woman show.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right behind that, I have sometimes to think about dying
with Daisy Ridley. That movie made me feel a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm going Twisters. That's my number one, Oh real challengers
behind it Twisters already. I feel like that was I
could watch it every day. I truly could turn it
on and watch it every day. It was so good.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It is kind of crazy how good it feels to
watch it a second time. Even when knowing everything's coming,
those two hours still flew by. Again. By the time
we got to the end, I was like, ah, Like
sometimes even in a movie we're watching for the very
first time, by the time we get to that two
hour mark, I'm like, all right, I'm ready to get
out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Twisters is the only movie that I would want to
Zack Snyder cut off.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I would like to see all. I mean, yeah, maybe
they'll put out a director's cut another thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, I can't say that was a spoiler. Yeah, there's
a scene they cut at the end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That if you've been on TikTok you've probably seen it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But I want it in the film.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I rarely want to see a director's cut. Even when
I talk to the director of the original Twister, he says,
like people keep asking them for a director's cut, and
he's like, I'm not gonna make it. The movie that
came out in theaters is the movie. I don't need
to make it any longer, like that is the product.
But some more deleted scenes would be good.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I love a deleted scene right behind that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think I have love lies bleeding, which you didn't
see with me. But that's a strong four out of five.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Kristen Stewart.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, it's also available on Max Now. So if that's
a movie you missed, A lot of these movies that
came out early in the year are starting to hit
streaming services. I think you would enjoy it. Monkey Man
it was another really good one. You don't like action.
It's kind of John Wick style killing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I saw it without me.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Usually when I say you saw it without me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think whenever it's something that's straight ahead action that
you're probably not going to get much out of, you're
kind of checked out on that. Anything horror, you're kind
of checked out on.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh I'm not kind of checked out on that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I am out rounding out my top five. I have
Young Women in the Sea, which is on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Now another Daisy Ridley. Wow, she's in two year Top five.
She's having a great year, crushing it. Daisy.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I feel like she's an underappreciated actor in the sense
that everybody associates her with Star Wars, but she's so
much more than that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I was talking to a friend we had lunch when
we were talking about Young Woman in the Sea, and
we're like, it didn't get like any press or publicity.
I hope it does better on Disney Plus because I
don't feel like enough people saw in theaters. But it's
an incredible movie.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think what they did. It was originally just going
to be a Disney Plus movie, and they decided, Hey,
let's put it out in theaters. See if we can
make some money here. But even then, really, the only
promotion I've seen for at hitting Disney Plus has been
Daisy Ridley posting on her Instagram story behind the scenes
of the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
If you haven't watched it, it's amazing. It's so inspiring if.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You like and yeah, inspirational Disney movies a lot, early
two thousands, like those movies you would watch in school.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh gosh, that was the Glory Day, like the Rookie
remember the Titans.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Really inspiration, yeah movies.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't think that was Disney, but still yeah, early.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Two thousands for inspiration was like, let's make.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Them we are Marshall. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Some good inspiration movie. What's that one with Jake Jill
and Ham. We would always watch it whenever we were
building rockets in elementary school. October Sky I remember that.
We like all right, we're gonna watch this movie and
then we're gonna go take a paper towel tube, put
like a plastic egg on one hand on one end
of it, glue into it, and then make like little
I guess finns at a cardboard and like a little
(13:35):
PVC pipelin it. Did you ever do that in school?
You never made a rocket?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh my gosh, that was like the best day out
of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Did your teacher take yell to get the supplies too,
like the day she took ye to run errands? No?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Have I told that story on here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Tell it again whenever we went or maybe we only
told it on TikTok. Yeah, maybe not TikTok Instagram.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
This is maybe this is just walks of hatchysd. But
in elementary school we went on a trip, but.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It was just their teacher taking them to run her.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So you convinced me. We just walked to different places
in the town.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But it was like the post office, the bank, it
was all the place of them.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We went to. First, we went to city hall, mind you.
We walked from the elementary school to downtown, which I mean,
it's a small town, but it's still a good little
trial on the side of the street.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
First she needed to drop off for divorce papers.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Or pay your water bill, and then I think from
there we walked to the post office. From the post
office and that was right next to the police station,
so she had to go check on her warrants. And
then from there we walked past the tire shop. I
don't think we stopped at the tire shop, but it
was like the tire shop right by the bank, and
it ended at We did stop by the bank, I remember, yeah,
(14:51):
I remember. I think we talked like the person who
runs the bank maybe, and then we ended it at
Dairy cris.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
This wasn't a this was a first day and she
couldn't get substitute read the laundry one hundred percent. That
was the day that she was like, I need to
call out and they were like, we have no substitutes available,
So she just called it enrichment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Hey, we ended it with an ice cream. Combe did
she pay for everyone? I think we had to take
our own money. Now that I think about it, I
think that was the day long money for ice cream. Yeah. Yeah,
we straight up went on errands with her, But aside
from that, I don't think it was that same year.
But another year we went and we made we watched
(15:36):
October Sky, and then we made our own rockets. The
only thing they provided was the actual I don't know
what we put in it to make it fire off,
but I don't think mine actually lit it off. I
think the like a hole sprung out. And but I
love October Sky because of that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh yeah, early two thousands inspirational movies.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, so my worst was Despicable Me. For those are
my top five best of the year so far. Honorable
mentions would be Babes again, long Legs, like I mentioned earlier,
would probably be in that list. Twisters is towards the
bottom on my list right now, but it'll probably, but
it will probably. You know what, I'm gonna leave that
in there. I always edit up when when I misspeak,
(16:17):
and I said, probably really weird, And now Kelsey is
about to combust. So this is me continuing on the podcast.
I know I speak weird sometimes and I usually cut
those things out of the episode, but your reaction was
too good that I have to keep that in there.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I made a mistake of drinking and carbonated drink right
before you did that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Now my eyes are Watering, Twisters will probably make my list,
and then at the bottom it could easily be bumped
out it's dead pulling Wolverine, But those are my front
runners as of now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yours is Twisters is a heavy favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Also, somebody's probably gonna tell me that I'm an a
hole for laughing at the way you speak, but it's
just marriage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
To be completely transparent. Right now, my mouth is killing me.
My braces are just at the point where I want
to rip them out of my teeth, and I know
it causes me to speak funny every now and then.
So the root of it is that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And I'm not a terrible wife for laughing at you.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
No, I deal with this every single day, not with you.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I mean I was about to say, I don't laugh
at you every now.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Having to speak, I have to over nunci eate and
make sure I don't have a lisp because sometimes spit
gets stuck in the braces. It is tough, and it
just hurts to speak because they're like dingling off. Eventually, eventually,
hopefully soon. We always have a TV show we want
to mention. You can kick us off. What have you
been watching in July?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I know you're laughing at me because I've watched so
much of it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Update us on how many episodes of this show you've watched.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh, I don't want to give an episode count, but
I am through five seasons and I have I have
about eleven episodes left. That's it of the Resident.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah. Crazy thing is until you started watching because never
heard of the show. I know some of the actors
from it. One of the guys was in Bottoms. Oh yeah, yeah,
a football player in bottom yes.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Aside from that, uh no, Theo Huxtable, Yeah, from the
Cosby Show, which I'm glad he got a new TV show.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And it has the guy from Gilmar Girls, which is
kind of why I started watching it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh yeah, he has really uh he looks like the
lead singer of like a two thousand's rock band.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I know he has, Like that's why I can't take
that show. Series are terrible. I loved him as Logan
on Gilmore Girls. So it's a great show. I mean
it's terrible, but it's also great. So yeah, I'm gonna
finish that soon. That's my That's all I've watched. Literally,
I finished.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We finished the show together. We finished The Bear season three,
which I enjoyed much more than season two.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I enjoyed it, but I'm also kind of like, I
don't know if anything was gonna be the magic of
season one.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, I think that's a show that peaked in season one.
It can rine off that probably for another two seasons,
which they're probably only gonna do two more. I know
they already shot.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They shot season four in conjunction with season three.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I don't think they've announced it, but I feel like
season five will be the end of that show, because
what else are you gonna do? There's really so much
because this season was a lot of bad story on
the character. So I feel like, how many more seasons
could you do backstories on characters you haven't gotten to
And I feel like the overall plot, unless something really
crazy and tragic happens, I don't know where you keep
(19:12):
going with that. It's funny that some people have a
problem watching that show, who maybe work in the service industry,
and then you get home and you're like, I don't
want to go back to work, which even me, I
feel stressed out by it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Again, that's my favorite tweet. It was like, when I
want to relax, I sit down with an episode of
FX is most calming show.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Bear it is not calming whatsoever. I finished Season
four of The Boys, which ended up still being my
least favorite season out of the entire four seasons of
that show, but it was still pretty enjoyable because I
think even a bad season of that show is better
than the best seasons of other shows I've seen. I
also finished The Alcolyte on Disney Plus, which a lot
(19:51):
of people had a problem with. I ended up enjoying it.
Pretty good finale on that show, and then we both
watched Presumed Innocent on Apple TV Plus. Great show.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'll give a book, Yes, we'll.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Wrap it up with the book.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I feel like I talked about it on here already.
I don't remember why I would have talked about it,
but I read Once Upon a Time, which is a
story of Carolyn Besset Kennedy. Why would I have talked
about that, But I feel like I mentioned it a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, I think you did. I don't remember why.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I think I just had to give it a shout
out because I loved it so much. That was great.
Very into like books about Kennedy's. Another one I read
wasn't super serious, but I just finished a thriller called
The Block Party that was good, but I'm still gonna Yeah,
Once upon a Time the Carolyn Besset Kennedy was very
fascinating inside look at their life. She was kind of
(20:38):
the first person to get like the Taylor Swift paparazzi treatment,
Like they would be outside of the house, they would
take every picture. They would take a picture. If she
was mad, they would take a picture if she was happy.
She was just always in the news and it like
really affected her mental health. So I thought it was
an interesting portrayal. And then the Kennedy family, Kennedy Family Curse,
it's just really interesting. Like the erics, like the Kennedy
(21:00):
Family Curse spans quite a few like generations.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, because if you watch The Iron Claw, I really
feel like the curse there was the dad. Yeah, like
the way the dad treated everybody and they're like this
family is cursed, Like no, the Dad's just like a
real big church.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well it was like the curse was just the siblings
one generation. Yeah, but like the Kennedy Family Curse stretches.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, that's long.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, that book was phenomenal. The reporter did a really
good job. Oh did I talk about No, I did
talk about the CIA book that, Yeah, you did. Okay,
I can't remember what I've talked about on Aaron what haven't. Yeah,
those are my books. I'm seven ahead of schedule to
finish eighty books this year. I met fifty three. That's
(21:41):
my update there.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'm currently reading the run of Spider Man Ultimate Spider Man.
I just picked up issue seven. Haven't read it yet,
but I picked it up on Spider Man Day. And
the cool thing about this run, it's like an older
Spider Man. He's like in his probably my age because
he's like late thirties maybe early forties. He has like
a couple of ki you're.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Only early thirties, don't age yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh yeah, I guess I'm thirty three. I meant kind
of my age. I kind of forget how old I am.
Sometimes I forget how old you are. I'm like, I'm
thirty three. I'm like that Kevin Hart clit where he's like, uh,
it's Tim and don Cheedle and he's like, I'm fifty five. Damn,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's how I feel being thirty
three and me, you know, I'm fifty six years old. Damn,
(22:23):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Oh that's what we have to talk about. What the Deadpool?
How many times they cursed in the movie? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, in Dead Poll and Wolverine they use the F
word one hundred and eighteen times. It's a new franchise record,
with the second film in this category with fwards only
ninety f bombs. I remember, for the longest time, the
animated South Park movie in the nineties had the record.
I remember having the Guinness Book of World Records and
they were in there. But dang, one hundred and eighteen times.
(22:49):
I didn't even think it was overused.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Oh I did, you did? I noticed it? But I
also use the word old time.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean, the tagline for the movie is LFG, so
you have a curse word in the tagline of the movie.
But I didn't really find it, like, oh, there they
keeps saying the word over I just felt like it
was a little bit fitting.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I wasn't bothered by it.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, I don't think I was bothered by it. But
good for them, and they're already gonna hit a billion
Good for them them and they're already gonna hit the
billion dollar Mark. I think probably by this week or
if not, by next week. Other big movie news is
Inside Out Too has past The Avengers to become one
of the ten highest grossing movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Also, both of these movie news were brought to you
by me, your favorite unpaid intern.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
This was you a great account on X discussing film
has great updates, and you always send them to me first.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I do I do my job well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I did not see Inside Out To being that massive.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I didn't think it was that big of a hit.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Especially because of the whole theory I had with the
Disney Plus model of other movies not being successful because
families were waiting to watch them on Disney Plus. But
I guess just the demand for that movie was so high,
and it was probably because the original one coming out.
Maybe those people are a little bit older now with
(24:02):
kids of their own and they take them to see it.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
The movie probably had a lot of therapists getting a
lot of business.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
After that is I mean, yeah, if your kid doesn't
have the ability to go to therapy, let them watch
Inside Out One Inside Out Too and they can learn
about their emotions. Those are movies I wish I would
have had as a kid.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I mean, it's very important, and they did it in
a way that like kids can understand and also in
adults and joy. So I thought it was a novel concept.
Wan didn't talk about our feelings when.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
We were kids, No, never, but a top kids still.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Don't talk about your feelings, but a top ten highest.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Grossing movie of all time, beating The Avengers as Wild
and that's wild animated movies. They'll mess around, but we'll
come back. I'll give my spoiler free review of Trap,
and then Kelsey will come back and we'll talk about
the new Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh movie called We
Live in Time. Let's get into it now. A spoiler
(24:53):
free movie review of Trap. This is one that got
me hooked in with the trailer, and with a movie
like this, I always think, is it gonna be better
than the trailer? Because I just love the tagline of
this movie from director m Night Shamlan, who I believe
is hit or miss. Last movie Love Knock at the Cabin.
Before that, I would say the only good movie he
(25:13):
had was twenty sixteen Split. Since then, yeah, but I
mean done some great ones. Signs The Village Lady in
the Water. But he is a director you either hate
or love his movies because you're either gonna be on
board buying into it, or you're gonna be like, this
is the dumbest movie I've ever seen. I hate the twist,
I hate any element of horror. For the most part,
(25:35):
I wouldn't even consider him a horror director because a
lot of his stuff is rooted in like fantasy, and
most of them are rated PG thirteen movies like Signs.
It's much more I would say, psychological, more Twilight Zone esque.
So I don't go into his movie thinking I'm gonna
love it no matter what. He hasn't really earned that
(25:55):
level for me as a director, especially with the movie
like Trap that had a fantastic trailer. I watched that
trailer and thought, that's it. Take the money. I'm gonna
go watch this movie. And before I go see a movie,
I always take a picture out front in the movie
theater with me and the poster, and this time I
had to take just a picture of it because Kelsey
didn't go with me. She does not like horror movies.
(26:17):
You know that he fee listen to this podcast, But
the tagline of this movie stuck out to me on
this poster thirty thousand fans, three hundred cops, one serial Killer,
no Escape, and right above that it has his name M.
Knight Shyamalan and it says a new M. Night Shamalan experience.
And that is exactly what I feel about this movie.
I don't think it's a great movie. I think it
(26:38):
is a great experience. And I think there's a difference.
I wouldn't see him and think, oh, he is one
of the best filmmakers of our generation. But he creates
unique experiences, moments that are memorable. I'm still thinking about
that time that I went to go see Signs in theaters,
the one moment we all know that left is just
like in all that is what he does. He creates
these great experiences. But I don't think look back at
(27:00):
any of his movies and think, oh, man, somebody gave
a really great performance in that that deserved an oscar.
But still, time and time again, here we are in
twenty twenty four, still going to watch M nine movies
because of that experience that he provides. He's not somebody
I recommend even after watching this movie. By the end
of this review, you will kind of decide if it
(27:21):
is for you or not. So what this movie is
about is exactly what that tagline is. You have this
serial killer played by Josh Hartnett, who is kind of
having a resurgence right now. Had a really great young
career in the nineties. I loved him in Halloween h
two O say what you want about that movie. I'm
just a longtime fan of Anie Michael Myers movie and
that one is oddly one of my favorites, and it's
(27:43):
because of him and Jamie Lee Curtis together in that.
He was also great in The Faculty, so does have
some roots in the horror genre. But aside from this,
his Black Mirror episode was fantastic. He was also in
The Bear, so he's having a little bit of a
resurgence right now. But this is a movie I've seen
him have a leading role in, so he plays the
(28:04):
serial killer known as the Butcher. Movies starts out with
him taking his daughter to a concert Lady Raven, who
is not as big of a pop star as Taylor Swift,
but by watching this movie, I feel like she's a
little bit more of an Ariana Grande type character. But
they're going to this concert and as he's going in,
he starts noticing all this police activity, gets a little
(28:27):
bit more suspicious, and then finds out by talking to
some people there, that they knew this serial killer, the Butcher,
was going to be there. They don't know what he
looks like, but this entire thing was set up to
have him trapped at this concert. So it is his
mission to get out of this venue without being captured,
but also without his daughter finding out that he is
(28:48):
the Butcher, the person that the police have been looking for,
who has been suspected of these heinous, heinous murders and
gone on his killing spree, and they have not been
able to find him or even have a photo of him.
So the first thing that stood out to me about
Trap was the acting style. Now, it took a little
bit of me getting used to, and this was a
(29:08):
movie I really had to settle into because overall it's
a little off putting. It seems a little bit like
the actors are putting on a different type of performance.
It didn't really feel like they were acting in a movie.
It almost felt like they were stage acting because it
was very elaborate and expressive. I don't want to say
it was bad acting, but I think it was a
(29:30):
stylistic choice that they decided to act very over exaggerated.
Josh Hartnett's character almost feels like Ned Flanders at times
because he's so happy and nice, but it's also because
he is trying to keep his daughter being cool, letting
her know that there's nothing up, so he's almost putting
on a front for her, and it just kind of
(29:52):
comes out as him acting really weird. Everybody that he
interacts with as well, has just some really awkward encounters.
I don't think it was so much that, oh, these
are bad actors. I don't think Josh Hartnett is a
bad actor. I think it was a stylistic choice by
m Night. It really felt to me like watching a
Hitchcock movie from back in the day, that style of
acting from back in the fifties, sixties, or even like
(30:15):
a Twilight Zone episode. So I kind of think that
that's what they were going for. But I feel like
if you don't really take that away from it, you
would watch the first twenty minutes of this movie and think,
come on, what is happening here? It is a movie
where you have to suspend a lot of belief, and
that I think was The biggest obstacle for me in
getting over If you are a person who goes into
(30:38):
watching a movie and find yourself saying, now, how is
this happening? I don't believe that. Really, a lot of
those moments go down. So if you are very skeptical
about the choices people make in horror or suspense movies,
like why would they even do that, You're gonna have
a hard time watching this because there are some things
that are just so hard to believe and so hard
(31:00):
to buy into. The only example I will give you
that hit me in this annoyance level with Okay, there's
no way that would happen. For me, it was the
fact that this concert took place in the middle of
the day. No way a headliner is going on when
it's still daylight outside. And I had trouble like computing
that in my brain of like why is this timing happening?
(31:22):
And I know that it was probably just had to
do with the production of the movie, but for me,
it took me out of reality because I was like,
there's no way a pop star this huge is gonna
go on and it's still daylight outside and I know
the concert took place inside in an arena, but still
the timing did not work out for me, and everything
(31:43):
he tries to do to find a way to get
out of the venue, you find yourself saying like this
is stupid, like why is he doing this? But I
allowed myself to suspend belief to buy into it because
it does have some pretty good suspense and it is
a movie that you just want to figure out how
it's going to and that is what m Knight does
really well. That, paired with the fact that it's just
(32:04):
right around an hour and a half. What I think
hurts it is that PG thirteen rating, which I know
M Knight loves. I think it's because he's not overly
gory at all. He doesn't really like using blood in
his movies. But with a movie like this about a
serial killer named the Butcher, really, with that trailer that
hadn't be sold, that had this bit of a sinister
(32:24):
feel to it, even the poster alone with Josh Hartnett's
face and red, it felt to me like this movie
needed in our rating so I could get that side
out of them. So the real way that I find
this movie to be scary is if you think of
yourself at a concert, and M Knight has even been
out in interviews talking about this. When you're in a
room with that many people, chances are there could be
(32:46):
a serial killer there. So I really think that was
almost the scarier thing if you are somebody who struggles
with going to places with a lot of people and
thinking like who are all these people? Which is a
thought I have sometimes, especially seeing more and more about
serial killers, You've probably encountered one. So I don't really
feel like this movie took place in our reality. Much
(33:06):
like the Marvel Cinematic universe. I believe there is an
M Knight universe where all of these characters live. It's
a little bit whimsical. There's a little bit of fantasy there,
and you don't have to abide by the rules of
well people really using their brains. So I think the
truth stand out here was Josh Hartnett, who did a
really good job of showing the side of a serial
killer and then also putting on a mass to be
(33:29):
a father to his teenage daughter. I also thought M
Knight's daughter as Lady Raven was also really good. I
always just struggle with how any kind of movie portrays
a pop star and a concert with backstage and all
of those elements. It's not really how it works, and
for me, I feel like this one is not really
when you have to watch in theaters. I think it's
(33:50):
very much a good streamer. I think we'll still get
that same experience, and there was really nothing that being
in a dark room with a lot of people added
to it because there was suspense in it, but there
weren't really tense moments or scary moments that I feel
were enhanced by that movie going experience. And that was
a bit of a bummer for me because I love
(34:11):
that that feeling you get when you leave a theater
after watching a scary movie where you're kind of on edge.
I didn't really feel that, So I think it's a
movie you could probably wait. For the majority of this movie,
I was already leaning towards it being a three, but
I really feel like Josh Hartknett just took it up
another level. And I'm also one that's kind of invested
in his career right now. Without him, the movie would
(34:33):
have been terrible, So that in my mind bumps it
up a point five for Trap. I give it three
point five out of five. Concert Tease, It's.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Time to head down to movie Mike Tylor Paul.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
All Right, there's a movie coming out on October eleventh
that's called We Live in Time at stars Andrew Garfield
and Florence Pew. It's about them finding each other after
a surprise encounter. Basically, she hits him with her car
and then he ends up in the hospital and they
(35:09):
start dating after that. So before I get into more
about what this movie is about and how we feel
about it, here's just a little bit of the We
Live in Time trailer.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I'm so sorry but each other yet No, I run
you over? Sorry, clock is ticking? What's there? Because I'm worried,
But there's a very distinct and real possibility that I
am about to fall in love with you. I'm okay,
(35:43):
it's okay. Want to see It's okay, not to be okay.
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
So what you see in this trailer is the start
of the relationship. Like I mentioned, he's out in the
middle of the street, she hits him with their car.
He ends up in the hospital, She stays there with him.
They start this life together. They have a kid. The
one scene in this trailer, which the trailer only being
like two and a half minutes. That really got me
was they go to the hospital. It looks like they're
(36:11):
sitting in a doctor's office. One second she has hair
and the next second her head is completely shaved. And
just that scene, you're like, oh, punch to the gut
and you realize that she ends up getting cancer. Like,
didn't that just hit you?
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It did. There was a movie that came out last year.
It wasn't super popular. It's on like Hulu or something now,
but it was about something similar. It was a rom
com where they're like in love and then he dies
all of a sudden. I just I'll watch this one
because I love Andrew Garfield and Florence Pue, but those
movies really just like I do something to me.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It reminded me. It reminded me of Spoiler Alert last year,
which going into that movie, it's called spoiler alert, so
you know exactly what's going to happen, that the partner
is going to die by the end of it at
some point, But today it's the journey you go on.
And by seeing this trailer, it reminded me of that
movie and thinking that I feel like I've already seen it,
but even knowing that I still want to watch it
(37:05):
and feel it because it's crazy that this movie feels
refreshing right now, just the straight ahead story of a
couple falling in love, one of them getting sick and
them getting through it, and all the different movies that
come out this year, with all these big spectacles, that
I just want to sit down and watch something that
you're gonna see two really great actors with just straight
ahead acting, great chemistry, telling a pretty simple story. Even
(37:28):
though I probably know what's going to happen just by
watching this trailer, I'm all in for it, and I
think it's because they look so good together.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They're both phenomenal. It's a great pairing, and.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
They're both speaking in their natural accents, which you never
see them both doing.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I feel like it was described a little bit more
as a rom com.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I don't really see much rom com make.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But I'm saying when they first announced it, I thought
it was like happy Andrew Garfield, Florence Pe and a
rom com together. There's a lot of rom not a
lot of calm.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Looks pretty depressing, but I think it is nice to
see them speaking how they normally would because I rarely
see Andrew Garfield.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Speak with the British accent.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, it's normally an American accent. I just see him
in Spider Man most of the time, where his character
in the Social Network or.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Under the banner of Heaven. There is also so good
in that with also Daisy Edgar Jones.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
And Florence Pugh was really good. I really liked her
in Don't Worry Darling. Yes, I am excited to see
her in The Thunderbolts. I also really liked her Amidst Somar.
She is somebody who, like we did in an earlier
episode this year, is like a chameleon. She can really
do anything.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
And then that movie Good Person, Yeah, that was also
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, Zach Braff directed it. The director to this movie
is John Crowley, who also did a couple episodes of
Modern Love. He did an episode of The Black Mirror
called Beyond the Scene with Josh Hartnett, which is a
connection to the review I did earlier. But the movie
he's done that he's probably well, I guess not the
one he's most known for. But his biggest credit is
The Goldfinch, which historically didn't do really well. And that's
(38:57):
Nicole Kidman good in a limited series. Her movie choices
as of lately, except the zach Efron movie. I could
go either way.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Uh, she's that Netflix movie that she's gonna be in
The Perfect Couple.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Oh yeah, that looks great. This reminds me of a
conversation we had recently though, that I'm probably gonna be
the one to go first.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
No, you're way healthier than me. You running twenty six
miles and your family your grandma's like ninety six.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, but all my other grandparents are no longer.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
But you're a vegan, you don't drink alcohol, you don't
have like any vices aside from running. You're gonna outlive me,
I don't think so. I know you just don't want
to outlive me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
No, because I'm gonna be the one who goes to
the waffle house with the picture of you and takes
you around everywhere. That's fine, I just can't imagine that.
I feel like you would be better off without me than.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I would know you.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
No, I don't do well when you leave the house
for like three days. I don't know. I don't do
well without you.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
I just feel like statist speaking, I'm going first.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
You are three years three years older than me.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I'm also older, and I'm like, man, and I'm gonna
break down.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
But you are so healthy, that's just it. Though you
exercise way more than the average person, Like, I just
feel like that's going to keep you infinitely alive.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I want to be cremated. Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
No, we talked about this the other day as well.
I want to be cremated. Take me into a sephora
and tell someone I'm the latest. I shut up. Now
you are wearing Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
The Kelsey shade.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It reminds me of the movie Due Date with Robert
Donny Junior galfan Akis when he has his dad's ashes
and a folders can and then Rubbert Donney Junior makes
the coffee and Zach Galafanak like this coffee is kind
of weird, and Rubbert Downey Junior's like, well it was yours,
and He's like what and he's like, yeah, the folders
can you made my dad. I want to be I
want to be an eyeshadow balance.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I don't know if I want to be spread anywhere.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I'm just kidding. Don't spamashes in this.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Sophora because I feel like that's a little weird anywhere
you spread them, it's like that's a dead person. You're
spreading it, like to the ocean, which I guess things
die in the ocean all the time.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I wonder if we've ever like inhaled, someone's ashes up wind.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
At some point. So I don't I don't know that
I would want to be spread anywhere, but I would
probably want to be in like a really cool urn
that's like a spider man head or something.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
And you would say, can I make you into one
of those They actually do those really nice like stones.
Can I turn a part of you into like a
stone to keep me company or like a necklace?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Could you put me into Thanos's glove? And a little
bit of me is inside of each of the infinity stones?
And then whenever you need to like have a memory
of me, you put the glove on, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
See, the other day, I said that being cremated was cheaper,
But now you need me to put you on a
Thanos glove with stones. Sounds very expensive.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It's not that expensive. You can get the glove for
like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
This is such a morbid conversation.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
And then you could take out those stones you could
find a way to make five of the stones and
you put them in there.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
This is why we don't work on a school night,
because we have both lost it.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
And with that we closed the trailer park. But again,
the movie is a calm we live in time. It's
coming out on October eleven. That's one. We're gonna see
you together, right, Yes, and cry too. Yes, it's really
hard for me to cry in a movie.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I don't cry movies. I cry it commercials or tiktoks.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
The last time I got close to crying, Oh no,
I think I did cry during Blue Beetle. That one
got me the first time and the second time.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
You cried during Blue Beetle. I don't like people think
I'm heartless because I don't cry during movies, but like
tiktoks of like old people alone make me sad animals.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But I don't cry it's sad movies really, because Blue
Beetle isn't a sad movie. It was just the connection
of the character, the character being brown, him reminding me
of my dad. I cried it like the most emotional
part of the movie because I just felt like myself
in that situation and I saw like my family just
mirrored in that family.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, so it was a sad part, but it's not
a sad movie. It takes like a superhero sad things.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
It takes like a superhero movie with a little bit
of sadness to make me cry.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
It was it was like a human thing that made
you cry. Yeah, that's a normal thing to cry.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It, I think so. But I feel like We Live
in Time is going to be a much sadder movie.
And it's probably gonna be a lot harder for this
movie to make me cry than Blue Beetle.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah. I don't really cry it movies, though I don't
cry at books. They cry over random things. I cried
over chicken tenders a couple of weeks ago, but I
was BMS, you can leave that in there. What a
while night, I cut into a gluten free chicken tender
and the color looked off and I started crying. So
that's what it's like living with me.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And with that we closed the trailer park.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
At that point.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
This week's edition of movie lines frame or.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Bar and that is gonna do it for another episode.
Here on the podcast, Kelsey is walking out of here,
but before I go.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I'm confused about when we're done because I just started
talking and you told me you were still recording. So
am I am? I dismissed yet?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, I always do the outro after the trailer park.
You're usually not here for this segment.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Okay, I'm gonna go dry my hair now.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
All right. This week's listener shat out of the Week
goes to Brenda, who I actually met in person. I
was at a comic book shop here in Nashville and
she told me she had DM. ME sorry that I
actually missed the DM, but she was wanting to know
different comic book shops in town that I would recommend.
She was in town for sixtieth birthday, was a listener
of the show, was a listener of the podcast, so
(44:19):
appreciate that, Brenda. Instead of replying to your DM, I
got to reply to you in real life. And if
you're coming to Nashville and are also a comic book
fan looking for a good spot, my go to spot
here in town is Rick's Comics. I feel like they
have the best setup. They always have the newest comics,
and they have a really good selection of backstock and
(44:39):
graphic novels, and they have some figures there too. If
you're into that, that is probably my go to. I
also love Great Escape in Nashville that has a bigger
collection of older comics, So if you're looking for something
specific from like back in the day, I mean way
back in like nineties, eighties, even Golden age stuff, they
have a lot of those things as well, and for
(45:00):
pretty good prices. And the place I ran into Brenda
is a place a little bit south of town. It's
called Outer Limits Comics. It's a shop I'm the least
familiar with that was only my second time there, but
they also have a really good stuff. So those would
be my top three if you want to come here
and support local. So thanks to Brenda, it was great
meeting you. Thanks to you listening right now, Thanks for
(45:20):
being subscribed, for listening every single week, for telling a friend.
Until next time, go out and watch good movies and
I will talk to you later.
Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I
am your host. Movie Mike joined this week, but my
wife and co host Kelsey. How's it good? You good?
I'm good. Rattle off your drink of choice for this
week's episode.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
A waterloo, all day rose mocktail. I'm having what this
green tea, hot tea, peppermint green tea.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Peppermint green tea. Because we're recording this in the evening,
I would have a coffee right now because I'm dragging
a little bit. I'll third it out. Okay, we're gonna
do our best and worst of it of July. Oh,
but I have it. I mean, it's been a great
month of movies. Well, we'll get into it in the
movie review. We'll talk about Well, i'll talk about Trap,
which is new m Night Shyamalan movie.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, don't come, don't call me in for that horror thriller.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Did m Night Shyamalan deliver or did he leave me
wanting more in the trailer park. You're here because we're
gonna talk about We Live in Time, New a twenty
four movies starring Andrew Garfield and Florence's Pew And it
looks sad.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It does look said East favorite, but also I love
I love a sad movie. But yeah, we'll talk about
why I find it so sad.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Thank you for listening, Thank you for being subscribed. Chat
to the Monday Morning Movie Crew. He Now, let's talk movies.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,
one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like
never before in a movie podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
A man with so much movie knowledge.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He's basically like a walking IMTV with glasses.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
From the Nashville Podcast Network.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
This is movie Mike's movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Let's hop right into it. July was a great month.
What was the best movie you saw in July?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
No question? Twisters.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's a movie that we went to the theater twice
to see.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We have seen it twice in theaters. Now I would
go again.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I do want to see it in the forty X
now because we saw it in Imax, we saw it
in Standard and right after Twisters came out, Deadpool and
Wolverine came out, and it took all the screenings of
forty X out. But it's coming back for a week.
I just could I convince you to go see it
for a third time. I've never done that. I don't
think ever. The only movies I've seen twice recently one
(02:09):
with Blue Beetle because we took my mom to go.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
See it, Black Panther twice once together, once with my family.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And then before that. I think the last movie I
saw twice in theaters was probably Up. But Twisters was
no question could we go to the forty X because
I looked into it. Some of the forty X have
where you wear the three D glasses too, so it's
like fully immersive.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I don't can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I don't think Twisters is that way. I think it's
just all the effects, the rumbling chairs, the wind, the
spit in your face.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think I would turn the water feature off.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think you can. Yeah, you can control some of
the levels.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You could twist my arm.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I just think if there's any movie that you would
go see in forty X, I think it had to
be that one.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I mean, I'm not complaining about seeing Twisters for a
third time.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Worst case scenario we leave if it's two, because I
think you can probably turn off the entire seat, right,
I mean, you look a little lame with everybody else
having fun and you're just sitting there in a normal chair.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I've just heard that, like some people get motion sick.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh yeah, the motions because you don't like roller coasters.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm so anxious.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I had to convince you in La to get on
the Simpsons ride, and that's a virtual reality ride, so
you're not really going up and down, it's just motion.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But my thing is with glasses. The older I've gotten,
the more I get motion sick. Like I went on
a cruise with my family twice and the first time
I was perfectly fine, and then the last time we went,
I was like, oh, I don't feel great. And then
you and I went on that Sunset cruise and Cobo,
oh yeah, And about thirty minutes in, I was like,
(03:35):
this is a mistake. Like I just felt terrible and
fun fact about that, I went downstairs to the bathroom
because I thought it was going to be sick, and
I slept and fell and came back almost crying. It wasn't.
The views were great, Cobbo was beautiful, but I just
don't do well with boats.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The picture we took at those famous arches was like, oh,
like they had a perfect trip. And then that was
the one fun part of it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We do have. We have those pictures, framed pictures. But yeah,
real story was I was miserable. It was like unlimited
drinks too with our ticket, and I was up there
like can I get us fry? I was like a
seven up something. So yeah, I'm like that TikTok's out
four thirty. If y'all haven't seen that, it's like a
senior dog. And then the sound is the person being like,
(04:20):
when my senior dog thinks it's time for dinner. What
time did you say? Dinner was four?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Four thirty, four thirty?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay? Thanks with time? Did you say we were eating
at four thirty?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Four thirty?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh? Four thirty? Okay, thank you. But yeah, I feel
like the motions say I'd be willing to give it
a try, though, if you're willing to leave. If I
don't feel good because you strong armed me into the
Simpsons ride, I did not want to do that. I
closed my eyes the whole time.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I feel like, because we've already seen it twice, I
would want to just see what it's like and if
we're not into it, we could leave.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay. I'm also really claustrophobic, so that's why those rides.
It was like we were putting a thing and lock
this Disney world with my fam a couple of years
and a couple years ago. It's been like eight years
ago at this point, and I panicked and got off
virtual reality right before they shut the door, so I
was like, see y'all on the other side.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah. Anyways, Okay, back to Twisters. I could be convinced.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So still five out of five. Watching ten a second
time in theaters, I picked up on more things. I
still won't spoil it for anybody. I like going back
to watch a movie because I know it's coming and
then I can pay attention to those small little details
that I didn't, you know, catch the first time. Put
all the pieces together, and I think after watching it
for a second time, I did feel more of that
(05:39):
camaraderie that I said it kind of lacked from. Yeah,
from the first one, where I'm like, Okay, I think
it takes a few times to watch something to really
feel that, because I didn't really feel it Chase it.
I didn't get that chemistry the first time. I thought
it was more focused on the two leads, But as
I rewatched it, I was like, oh, Yeah, there is
some good camaraderie here. I still don't think it has
(05:59):
the memorable quote. It's like the first one we'll have.
There are some parts, but I.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Also don't feel like the first one has much like tension. Yeah,
if you catch my draft tension, I would rather just
say sexual tension than ever hear you bark on this
podcast again. Please stop.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So for my best I always like to pick a
different one than you, but I think if I've seen
the movie twice so I think it would be Twisters.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Wow, we're gonna have the no.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I decided to go with because I think I went
into Twisters with really high expectations that were met. But
for my best I'm gonna go with the most unique
in theater experience that I had that I think was
the most memorable of July. Even aside from Twisters. It
was Long Legs because I've been looking for a scary
movie that I could really immerse myself in, and also
(06:49):
in a year where everybody's saying that there's so many
remakes and reboots. When it comes to just any movie,
especially in the horror genre, we usually get like you know,
Ten Jason's or Halloweens or whatever. So when it came
to Long Legs, I was like, this is a great
original horror movie. Didn't really reinvent the wheel, but I
just loved it from the moment it started to the
(07:09):
moment it finished. And I think it is a movie
you have to kind of let yourself buy into it,
because if you were just to see like a steal
from it, or if you went into it thinking I'm
gonna poke fun at this and it's not gonna scare me,
then you're gonna be like, ah, this isn't scary at all.
But I think it goes to Long Legs mainly because
I don't want to pick twisters the same.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
As you you could pick twisters.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Because especially because see a third time. But what was
the worst for July? Because it wasn't really stag month,
as I'll recap it here at the end, we.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Saw it was a great month. I'm just gonna go
Beverly Hills Cop four.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You see what it was.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You turned it on on vacation and I was like,
this is, as my little brother would say, trash.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I honestly thought it was going to be better. Well
I don't know why I did. I just thought Eddie
Murphy coming back that he would. I really think what
it came down to is I was never a fan
of that franchise. I think I kind of missed a
boat on that, you know, be a eighties franchise. Bad
Boys was better, Yeah, And I feel like those movies
ended up being kind of similar, like old cops come back,
(08:08):
try to do young things still, and I just don't
really get into kind of the fun nature of the
Beverly Hills cop movies. That entire movie was just him
finding different vehicles to be chased in or to chase
other people in. And it was like him in a
golf car, him in a helicopter, and that was really
the entire movie. And it felt like it was a
(08:28):
straight to cable type movie, which I feel that was
like the biggest grape I've had with Netflix recently. Is
it just feels like they're just putting out really generic stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's like a Lifetime movie a little bit, Yeah, but
for dudes, listen. I used to love a Lifetime movie,
Give Me a Sunday Afternoon in a Lifetime movie, Marathon slaps.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, never really got into those.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
My mom and I used to watch them.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
For my worst of July. I don't really think aside
from Beverly Hills Cop four, we didn't see a bad
movie in theaters. I'll say that. So my worst has
to go to Despicable Meat, even though it's a three
point five out of five, and I still think it
was a good movie. I think overall, I would have
wanted a little bit more from it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You wanted more Minions, which they're doing another Minions movie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Which I'm excited about, and I think it was just like,
I don't really know that they have enough Despicable Me
story to keep making these movies, at least for the
adult Going back to.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
One, I think we just got to go straight Minions,
just straight Minions. Ditch grew.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The entire like family plot in that movie. I was like,
I just want to hear them say funny things. So
it wasn't that it was a bad movie. I just
need more Minions, more dumb action. I do have a
list of my front runners for the best movies of
the year so far. Let me know how you feel
about some of these. I think right now leading the
charge as the best movie of the year still, and
(09:45):
I kind of had to go back and put myself
into that perspective, but when we first watched them, And
that's why I start making this list now, because I
don't want to forget how I felt in January or
in March.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You know what recency bias.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, that's why. I mean, all those movies end up
getting nominated for Oscars. Come out in Oscar, She's in November, December,
because it's like, oh yeah, that just came out, fantastic,
give them an award. I try to make notes obviously
by doing this podcast, but just throughout the year. This
is how I feel about these movies right now. Leading
the Charges Challengers, and that's a movie with really just
straight ahead acting. When Zendeya just like she didn't even
(10:17):
need co stars in that movie. That entire movie was
just her.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Could have been a one woman show.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right behind that, I have sometimes to think about dying
with Daisy Ridley. That movie made me feel a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm going Twisters. That's my number one, Oh real challengers
behind it Twisters already. I feel like that was I
could watch it every day. I truly could turn it
on and watch it every day. It was so good.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It is kind of crazy how good it feels to
watch it a second time. Even when knowing everything's coming,
those two hours still flew by. Again. By the time
we got to the end, I was like, ah, Like
sometimes even in a movie we're watching for the very
first time, by the time we get to that two
hour mark, I'm like, all right, I'm ready to get
out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Twisters is the only movie that I would want to
Zack Snyder cut off.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I would like to see all. I mean, yeah, maybe
they'll put out a director's cut another thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, I can't say that was a spoiler. Yeah, there's
a scene they cut at the end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
That if you've been on TikTok you've probably seen it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But I want it in the film.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I rarely want to see a director's cut. Even when
I talk to the director of the original Twister, he says,
like people keep asking them for a director's cut, and
he's like, I'm not gonna make it. The movie that
came out in theaters is the movie. I don't need
to make it any longer, like that is the product.
But some more deleted scenes would be good.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I love a deleted scene right behind that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think I have love lies bleeding, which you didn't
see with me. But that's a strong four out of five.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Kristen Stewart.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, it's also available on Max Now. So if that's
a movie you missed, A lot of these movies that
came out early in the year are starting to hit
streaming services. I think you would enjoy it. Monkey Man
it was another really good one. You don't like action.
It's kind of John Wick style killing.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I saw it without me.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Usually when I say you saw it without me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I think whenever it's something that's straight ahead action that
you're probably not going to get much out of, you're
kind of checked out on that. Anything horror, you're kind
of checked out on.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh I'm not kind of checked out on that.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I am out rounding out my top five. I have
Young Women in the Sea, which is on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Now another Daisy Ridley. Wow, she's in two year Top five.
She's having a great year, crushing it. Daisy.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I feel like she's an underappreciated actor in the sense
that everybody associates her with Star Wars, but she's so
much more than that.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I was talking to a friend we had lunch when
we were talking about Young Woman in the Sea, and
we're like, it didn't get like any press or publicity.
I hope it does better on Disney Plus because I
don't feel like enough people saw in theaters. But it's
an incredible movie.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I think what they did. It was originally just going
to be a Disney Plus movie, and they decided, Hey,
let's put it out in theaters. See if we can
make some money here. But even then, really, the only
promotion I've seen for at hitting Disney Plus has been
Daisy Ridley posting on her Instagram story behind the scenes
of the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
If you haven't watched it, it's amazing. It's so inspiring if.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You like and yeah, inspirational Disney movies a lot, early
two thousands, like those movies you would watch in school.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh gosh, that was the Glory Day, like the Rookie
remember the Titans.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Really inspiration, yeah movies.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't think that was Disney, but still yeah, early.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Two thousands for inspiration was like, let's make.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Them we are Marshall. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Some good inspiration movie. What's that one with Jake Jill
and Ham. We would always watch it whenever we were
building rockets in elementary school. October Sky I remember that.
We like all right, we're gonna watch this movie and
then we're gonna go take a paper towel tube, put
like a plastic egg on one hand on one end
of it, glue into it, and then make like little
I guess finns at a cardboard and like a little
(13:35):
PVC pipelin it. Did you ever do that in school?
You never made a rocket?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh my gosh, that was like the best day out
of the year.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Did your teacher take yell to get the supplies too,
like the day she took ye to run errands? No?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Have I told that story on here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Tell it again whenever we went or maybe we only
told it on TikTok. Yeah, maybe not TikTok Instagram.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
This is maybe this is just walks of hatchysd. But
in elementary school we went on a trip, but.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It was just their teacher taking them to run her.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So you convinced me. We just walked to different places
in the town.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But it was like the post office, the bank, it
was all the place of them.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We went to. First, we went to city hall, mind you.
We walked from the elementary school to downtown, which I mean,
it's a small town, but it's still a good little
trial on the side of the street.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
First she needed to drop off for divorce papers.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Or pay your water bill, and then I think from
there we walked to the post office. From the post
office and that was right next to the police station,
so she had to go check on her warrants. And
then from there we walked past the tire shop. I
don't think we stopped at the tire shop, but it
was like the tire shop right by the bank, and
it ended at We did stop by the bank, I remember, yeah,
(14:51):
I remember. I think we talked like the person who
runs the bank maybe, and then we ended it at
Dairy cris.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
This wasn't a this was a first day and she
couldn't get substitute read the laundry one hundred percent. That
was the day that she was like, I need to
call out and they were like, we have no substitutes available,
So she just called it enrichment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Hey, we ended it with an ice cream. Combe did
she pay for everyone? I think we had to take
our own money. Now that I think about it, I
think that was the day long money for ice cream. Yeah. Yeah,
we straight up went on errands with her, But aside
from that, I don't think it was that same year.
But another year we went and we made we watched
(15:36):
October Sky, and then we made our own rockets. The
only thing they provided was the actual I don't know
what we put in it to make it fire off,
but I don't think mine actually lit it off. I
think the like a hole sprung out. And but I
love October Sky because of that.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh yeah, early two thousands inspirational movies.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, so my worst was Despicable Me. For those are
my top five best of the year so far. Honorable
mentions would be Babes again, long Legs, like I mentioned earlier,
would probably be in that list. Twisters is towards the
bottom on my list right now, but it'll probably, but
it will probably. You know what, I'm gonna leave that
in there. I always edit up when when I misspeak,
(16:17):
and I said, probably really weird, And now Kelsey is
about to combust. So this is me continuing on the podcast.
I know I speak weird sometimes and I usually cut
those things out of the episode, but your reaction was
too good that I have to keep that in there.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I made a mistake of drinking and carbonated drink right
before you did that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Now my eyes are Watering, Twisters will probably make my list,
and then at the bottom it could easily be bumped
out it's dead pulling Wolverine, But those are my front
runners as of now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yours is Twisters is a heavy favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Also, somebody's probably gonna tell me that I'm an a
hole for laughing at the way you speak, but it's
just marriage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
To be completely transparent. Right now, my mouth is killing me.
My braces are just at the point where I want
to rip them out of my teeth, and I know
it causes me to speak funny every now and then.
So the root of it is that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And I'm not a terrible wife for laughing at you.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
No, I deal with this every single day, not with you.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I mean I was about to say, I don't laugh
at you every now.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Having to speak, I have to over nunci eate and
make sure I don't have a lisp because sometimes spit
gets stuck in the braces. It is tough, and it
just hurts to speak because they're like dingling off. Eventually, eventually,
hopefully soon. We always have a TV show we want
to mention. You can kick us off. What have you
been watching in July?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I know you're laughing at me because I've watched so
much of it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Update us on how many episodes of this show you've watched.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Oh, I don't want to give an episode count, but
I am through five seasons and I have I have
about eleven episodes left. That's it of the Resident.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah. Crazy thing is until you started watching because never
heard of the show. I know some of the actors
from it. One of the guys was in Bottoms. Oh yeah, yeah,
a football player in bottom yes.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Aside from that, uh no, Theo Huxtable, Yeah, from the
Cosby Show, which I'm glad he got a new TV show.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
And it has the guy from Gilmar Girls, which is
kind of why I started watching it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh yeah, he has really uh he looks like the
lead singer of like a two thousand's rock band.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I know he has, Like that's why I can't take
that show. Series are terrible. I loved him as Logan
on Gilmore Girls. So it's a great show. I mean
it's terrible, but it's also great. So yeah, I'm gonna
finish that soon. That's my That's all I've watched. Literally,
I finished.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We finished the show together. We finished The Bear season three,
which I enjoyed much more than season two.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I enjoyed it, but I'm also kind of like, I
don't know if anything was gonna be the magic of
season one.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, I think that's a show that peaked in season one.
It can rine off that probably for another two seasons,
which they're probably only gonna do two more. I know
they already shot.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They shot season four in conjunction with season three.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I don't think they've announced it, but I feel like
season five will be the end of that show, because
what else are you gonna do? There's really so much
because this season was a lot of bad story on
the character. So I feel like, how many more seasons
could you do backstories on characters you haven't gotten to
And I feel like the overall plot, unless something really
crazy and tragic happens, I don't know where you keep
(19:12):
going with that. It's funny that some people have a
problem watching that show, who maybe work in the service industry,
and then you get home and you're like, I don't
want to go back to work, which even me, I
feel stressed out by it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Again, that's my favorite tweet. It was like, when I
want to relax, I sit down with an episode of
FX is most calming show.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Bear it is not calming whatsoever. I finished Season
four of The Boys, which ended up still being my
least favorite season out of the entire four seasons of
that show, but it was still pretty enjoyable because I
think even a bad season of that show is better
than the best seasons of other shows I've seen. I
also finished The Alcolyte on Disney Plus, which a lot
(19:51):
of people had a problem with. I ended up enjoying it.
Pretty good finale on that show, and then we both
watched Presumed Innocent on Apple TV Plus. Great show.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'll give a book, Yes, we'll.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Wrap it up with the book.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I feel like I talked about it on here already.
I don't remember why I would have talked about it,
but I read Once Upon a Time, which is a
story of Carolyn Besset Kennedy. Why would I have talked
about that, But I feel like I mentioned it a
couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, I think you did. I don't remember why.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I think I just had to give it a shout
out because I loved it so much. That was great.
Very into like books about Kennedy's. Another one I read
wasn't super serious, but I just finished a thriller called
The Block Party that was good, but I'm still gonna Yeah,
Once upon a Time the Carolyn Besset Kennedy was very
fascinating inside look at their life. She was kind of
(20:38):
the first person to get like the Taylor Swift paparazzi treatment,
Like they would be outside of the house, they would
take every picture. They would take a picture. If she
was mad, they would take a picture if she was happy.
She was just always in the news and it like
really affected her mental health. So I thought it was
an interesting portrayal. And then the Kennedy family, Kennedy Family Curse,
it's just really interesting. Like the erics, like the Kennedy
(21:00):
Family Curse spans quite a few like generations.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, because if you watch The Iron Claw, I really
feel like the curse there was the dad. Yeah, like
the way the dad treated everybody and they're like this
family is cursed, Like no, the Dad's just like a
real big church.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well it was like the curse was just the siblings
one generation. Yeah, but like the Kennedy Family Curse stretches.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, that's long.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, that book was phenomenal. The reporter did a really
good job. Oh did I talk about No, I did
talk about the CIA book that, Yeah, you did. Okay,
I can't remember what I've talked about on Aaron what haven't. Yeah,
those are my books. I'm seven ahead of schedule to
finish eighty books this year. I met fifty three. That's
(21:41):
my update there.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'm currently reading the run of Spider Man Ultimate Spider Man.
I just picked up issue seven. Haven't read it yet,
but I picked it up on Spider Man Day. And
the cool thing about this run, it's like an older
Spider Man. He's like in his probably my age because
he's like late thirties maybe early forties. He has like
a couple of ki you're.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Only early thirties, don't age yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh yeah, I guess I'm thirty three. I meant kind
of my age. I kind of forget how old I am.
Sometimes I forget how old you are. I'm like, I'm
thirty three. I'm like that Kevin Hart clit where he's like, uh,
it's Tim and don Cheedle and he's like, I'm fifty five. Damn,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's how I feel being thirty
three and me, you know, I'm fifty six years old. Damn,
(22:23):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Oh that's what we have to talk about. What the Deadpool?
How many times they cursed in the movie? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, in Dead Poll and Wolverine they use the F
word one hundred and eighteen times. It's a new franchise record,
with the second film in this category with fwards only
ninety f bombs. I remember, for the longest time, the
animated South Park movie in the nineties had the record.
I remember having the Guinness Book of World Records and
they were in there. But dang, one hundred and eighteen times.
(22:49):
I didn't even think it was overused.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Oh I did, you did? I noticed it? But I
also use the word old time.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean, the tagline for the movie is LFG, so
you have a curse word in the tagline of the movie.
But I didn't really find it, like, oh, there they
keeps saying the word over I just felt like it
was a little bit fitting.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I wasn't bothered by it.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, I don't think I was bothered by it. But
good for them, and they're already gonna hit a billion
Good for them them and they're already gonna hit the
billion dollar Mark. I think probably by this week or
if not, by next week. Other big movie news is
Inside Out Too has past The Avengers to become one
of the ten highest grossing movies of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Also, both of these movie news were brought to you
by me, your favorite unpaid intern.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
This was you a great account on X discussing film
has great updates, and you always send them to me first.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I do I do my job well.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I did not see Inside Out To being that massive.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I didn't think it was that big of a hit.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Especially because of the whole theory I had with the
Disney Plus model of other movies not being successful because
families were waiting to watch them on Disney Plus. But
I guess just the demand for that movie was so high,
and it was probably because the original one coming out.
Maybe those people are a little bit older now with
(24:02):
kids of their own and they take them to see it.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
The movie probably had a lot of therapists getting a
lot of business.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
After that is I mean, yeah, if your kid doesn't
have the ability to go to therapy, let them watch
Inside Out One Inside Out Too and they can learn
about their emotions. Those are movies I wish I would
have had as a kid.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I mean, it's very important, and they did it in
a way that like kids can understand and also in
adults and joy. So I thought it was a novel concept.
Wan didn't talk about our feelings when.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
We were kids, No, never, but a top kids still.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Don't talk about your feelings, but a top ten highest.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Grossing movie of all time, beating The Avengers as Wild
and that's wild animated movies. They'll mess around, but we'll
come back. I'll give my spoiler free review of Trap,
and then Kelsey will come back and we'll talk about
the new Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh movie called We
Live in Time. Let's get into it now. A spoiler
(24:53):
free movie review of Trap. This is one that got
me hooked in with the trailer, and with a movie
like this, I always think, is it gonna be better
than the trailer? Because I just love the tagline of
this movie from director m Night Shamlan, who I believe
is hit or miss. Last movie Love Knock at the Cabin.
Before that, I would say the only good movie he
(25:13):
had was twenty sixteen Split. Since then, yeah, but I
mean done some great ones. Signs The Village Lady in
the Water. But he is a director you either hate
or love his movies because you're either gonna be on
board buying into it, or you're gonna be like, this
is the dumbest movie I've ever seen. I hate the twist,
I hate any element of horror. For the most part,
(25:35):
I wouldn't even consider him a horror director because a
lot of his stuff is rooted in like fantasy, and
most of them are rated PG thirteen movies like Signs.
It's much more I would say, psychological, more Twilight Zone esque.
So I don't go into his movie thinking I'm gonna
love it no matter what. He hasn't really earned that
(25:55):
level for me as a director, especially with the movie
like Trap that had a fantastic trailer. I watched that
trailer and thought, that's it. Take the money. I'm gonna
go watch this movie. And before I go see a movie,
I always take a picture out front in the movie
theater with me and the poster, and this time I
had to take just a picture of it because Kelsey
didn't go with me. She does not like horror movies.
(26:17):
You know that he fee listen to this podcast, But
the tagline of this movie stuck out to me on
this poster thirty thousand fans, three hundred cops, one serial Killer,
no Escape, and right above that it has his name M.
Knight Shyamalan and it says a new M. Night Shamalan experience.
And that is exactly what I feel about this movie.
I don't think it's a great movie. I think it
(26:38):
is a great experience. And I think there's a difference.
I wouldn't see him and think, oh, he is one
of the best filmmakers of our generation. But he creates
unique experiences, moments that are memorable. I'm still thinking about
that time that I went to go see Signs in theaters,
the one moment we all know that left is just
like in all that is what he does. He creates
these great experiences. But I don't think look back at
(27:00):
any of his movies and think, oh, man, somebody gave
a really great performance in that that deserved an oscar.
But still, time and time again, here we are in
twenty twenty four, still going to watch M nine movies
because of that experience that he provides. He's not somebody
I recommend even after watching this movie. By the end
of this review, you will kind of decide if it
(27:21):
is for you or not. So what this movie is
about is exactly what that tagline is. You have this
serial killer played by Josh Hartnett, who is kind of
having a resurgence right now. Had a really great young
career in the nineties. I loved him in Halloween h
two O say what you want about that movie. I'm
just a longtime fan of Anie Michael Myers movie and
that one is oddly one of my favorites, and it's
(27:43):
because of him and Jamie Lee Curtis together in that.
He was also great in The Faculty, so does have
some roots in the horror genre. But aside from this,
his Black Mirror episode was fantastic. He was also in
The Bear, so he's having a little bit of a
resurgence right now. But this is a movie I've seen
him have a leading role in, so he plays the
(28:04):
serial killer known as the Butcher. Movies starts out with
him taking his daughter to a concert Lady Raven, who
is not as big of a pop star as Taylor Swift,
but by watching this movie, I feel like she's a
little bit more of an Ariana Grande type character. But
they're going to this concert and as he's going in,
he starts noticing all this police activity, gets a little
(28:27):
bit more suspicious, and then finds out by talking to
some people there, that they knew this serial killer, the Butcher,
was going to be there. They don't know what he
looks like, but this entire thing was set up to
have him trapped at this concert. So it is his
mission to get out of this venue without being captured,
but also without his daughter finding out that he is
(28:48):
the Butcher, the person that the police have been looking for,
who has been suspected of these heinous, heinous murders and
gone on his killing spree, and they have not been
able to find him or even have a photo of him.
So the first thing that stood out to me about
Trap was the acting style. Now, it took a little
bit of me getting used to, and this was a
(29:08):
movie I really had to settle into because overall it's
a little off putting. It seems a little bit like
the actors are putting on a different type of performance.
It didn't really feel like they were acting in a movie.
It almost felt like they were stage acting because it
was very elaborate and expressive. I don't want to say
it was bad acting, but I think it was a
(29:30):
stylistic choice that they decided to act very over exaggerated.
Josh Hartnett's character almost feels like Ned Flanders at times
because he's so happy and nice, but it's also because
he is trying to keep his daughter being cool, letting
her know that there's nothing up, so he's almost putting
on a front for her, and it just kind of
(29:52):
comes out as him acting really weird. Everybody that he
interacts with as well, has just some really awkward encounters.
I don't think it was so much that, oh, these
are bad actors. I don't think Josh Hartnett is a
bad actor. I think it was a stylistic choice by
m Night. It really felt to me like watching a
Hitchcock movie from back in the day, that style of
acting from back in the fifties, sixties, or even like
(30:15):
a Twilight Zone episode. So I kind of think that
that's what they were going for. But I feel like
if you don't really take that away from it, you
would watch the first twenty minutes of this movie and think,
come on, what is happening here? It is a movie
where you have to suspend a lot of belief, and
that I think was The biggest obstacle for me in
getting over If you are a person who goes into
(30:38):
watching a movie and find yourself saying, now, how is
this happening? I don't believe that. Really, a lot of
those moments go down. So if you are very skeptical
about the choices people make in horror or suspense movies,
like why would they even do that, You're gonna have
a hard time watching this because there are some things
that are just so hard to believe and so hard
(31:00):
to buy into. The only example I will give you
that hit me in this annoyance level with Okay, there's
no way that would happen. For me, it was the
fact that this concert took place in the middle of
the day. No way a headliner is going on when
it's still daylight outside. And I had trouble like computing
that in my brain of like why is this timing happening?
(31:22):
And I know that it was probably just had to
do with the production of the movie, but for me,
it took me out of reality because I was like,
there's no way a pop star this huge is gonna
go on and it's still daylight outside and I know
the concert took place inside in an arena, but still
the timing did not work out for me, and everything
(31:43):
he tries to do to find a way to get
out of the venue, you find yourself saying like this
is stupid, like why is he doing this? But I
allowed myself to suspend belief to buy into it because
it does have some pretty good suspense and it is
a movie that you just want to figure out how
it's going to and that is what m Knight does
really well. That, paired with the fact that it's just
(32:04):
right around an hour and a half. What I think
hurts it is that PG thirteen rating, which I know
M Knight loves. I think it's because he's not overly
gory at all. He doesn't really like using blood in
his movies. But with a movie like this about a
serial killer named the Butcher, really, with that trailer that
hadn't be sold, that had this bit of a sinister
(32:24):
feel to it, even the poster alone with Josh Hartnett's
face and red, it felt to me like this movie
needed in our rating so I could get that side
out of them. So the real way that I find
this movie to be scary is if you think of
yourself at a concert, and M Knight has even been
out in interviews talking about this. When you're in a
room with that many people, chances are there could be
(32:46):
a serial killer there. So I really think that was
almost the scarier thing if you are somebody who struggles
with going to places with a lot of people and
thinking like who are all these people? Which is a
thought I have sometimes, especially seeing more and more about
serial killers, You've probably encountered one. So I don't really
feel like this movie took place in our reality. Much
(33:06):
like the Marvel Cinematic universe. I believe there is an
M Knight universe where all of these characters live. It's
a little bit whimsical. There's a little bit of fantasy there,
and you don't have to abide by the rules of
well people really using their brains. So I think the
truth stand out here was Josh Hartnett, who did a
really good job of showing the side of a serial
killer and then also putting on a mass to be
(33:29):
a father to his teenage daughter. I also thought M
Knight's daughter as Lady Raven was also really good. I
always just struggle with how any kind of movie portrays
a pop star and a concert with backstage and all
of those elements. It's not really how it works, and
for me, I feel like this one is not really
when you have to watch in theaters. I think it's
(33:50):
very much a good streamer. I think we'll still get
that same experience, and there was really nothing that being
in a dark room with a lot of people added
to it because there was suspense in it, but there
weren't really tense moments or scary moments that I feel
were enhanced by that movie going experience. And that was
a bit of a bummer for me because I love
(34:11):
that that feeling you get when you leave a theater
after watching a scary movie where you're kind of on edge.
I didn't really feel that, So I think it's a
movie you could probably wait. For the majority of this movie,
I was already leaning towards it being a three, but
I really feel like Josh Hartknett just took it up
another level. And I'm also one that's kind of invested
in his career right now. Without him, the movie would
(34:33):
have been terrible, So that in my mind bumps it
up a point five for Trap. I give it three
point five out of five. Concert Tease, It's.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Time to head down to movie Mike Tylor Paul.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
All Right, there's a movie coming out on October eleventh
that's called We Live in Time at stars Andrew Garfield
and Florence Pew. It's about them finding each other after
a surprise encounter. Basically, she hits him with her car
and then he ends up in the hospital and they
(35:09):
start dating after that. So before I get into more
about what this movie is about and how we feel
about it, here's just a little bit of the We
Live in Time trailer.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I'm so sorry but each other yet No, I run
you over? Sorry, clock is ticking? What's there? Because I'm worried,
But there's a very distinct and real possibility that I
am about to fall in love with you. I'm okay,
(35:43):
it's okay. Want to see It's okay, not to be okay.
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
So what you see in this trailer is the start
of the relationship. Like I mentioned, he's out in the
middle of the street, she hits him with their car.
He ends up in the hospital, She stays there with him.
They start this life together. They have a kid. The
one scene in this trailer, which the trailer only being
like two and a half minutes. That really got me
was they go to the hospital. It looks like they're
(36:11):
sitting in a doctor's office. One second she has hair
and the next second her head is completely shaved. And
just that scene, you're like, oh, punch to the gut
and you realize that she ends up getting cancer. Like,
didn't that just hit you?
Speaker 2 (36:25):
It did. There was a movie that came out last year.
It wasn't super popular. It's on like Hulu or something now,
but it was about something similar. It was a rom
com where they're like in love and then he dies
all of a sudden. I just I'll watch this one
because I love Andrew Garfield and Florence Pue, but those
movies really just like I do something to me.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
It reminded me. It reminded me of Spoiler Alert last year,
which going into that movie, it's called spoiler alert, so
you know exactly what's going to happen, that the partner
is going to die by the end of it at
some point, But today it's the journey you go on.
And by seeing this trailer, it reminded me of that
movie and thinking that I feel like I've already seen it,
but even knowing that I still want to watch it
(37:05):
and feel it because it's crazy that this movie feels
refreshing right now, just the straight ahead story of a
couple falling in love, one of them getting sick and
them getting through it, and all the different movies that
come out this year, with all these big spectacles, that
I just want to sit down and watch something that
you're gonna see two really great actors with just straight
ahead acting, great chemistry, telling a pretty simple story. Even
(37:28):
though I probably know what's going to happen just by
watching this trailer, I'm all in for it, and I
think it's because they look so good together.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They're both phenomenal. It's a great pairing, and.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
They're both speaking in their natural accents, which you never
see them both doing.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I feel like it was described a little bit more
as a rom com.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I don't really see much rom com make.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But I'm saying when they first announced it, I thought
it was like happy Andrew Garfield, Florence Pe and a
rom com together. There's a lot of rom not a
lot of calm.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Looks pretty depressing, but I think it is nice to
see them speaking how they normally would because I rarely
see Andrew Garfield.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Speak with the British accent.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, it's normally an American accent. I just see him
in Spider Man most of the time, where his character
in the Social Network or.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Under the banner of Heaven. There is also so good
in that with also Daisy Edgar Jones.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
And Florence Pugh was really good. I really liked her
in Don't Worry Darling. Yes, I am excited to see
her in The Thunderbolts. I also really liked her Amidst Somar.
She is somebody who, like we did in an earlier
episode this year, is like a chameleon. She can really
do anything.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
And then that movie Good Person, Yeah, that was also
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, Zach Braff directed it. The director to this movie
is John Crowley, who also did a couple episodes of
Modern Love. He did an episode of The Black Mirror
called Beyond the Scene with Josh Hartnett, which is a
connection to the review I did earlier. But the movie
he's done that he's probably well, I guess not the
one he's most known for. But his biggest credit is
The Goldfinch, which historically didn't do really well. And that's
(38:57):
Nicole Kidman good in a limited series. Her movie choices
as of lately, except the zach Efron movie. I could
go either way.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Uh, she's that Netflix movie that she's gonna be in
The Perfect Couple.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Oh yeah, that looks great. This reminds me of a
conversation we had recently though, that I'm probably gonna be
the one to go first.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
No, you're way healthier than me. You running twenty six
miles and your family your grandma's like ninety six.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, but all my other grandparents are no longer.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
But you're a vegan, you don't drink alcohol, you don't
have like any vices aside from running. You're gonna outlive me,
I don't think so. I know you just don't want
to outlive me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
No, because I'm gonna be the one who goes to
the waffle house with the picture of you and takes
you around everywhere. That's fine, I just can't imagine that.
I feel like you would be better off without me than.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I would know you.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
No, I don't do well when you leave the house
for like three days. I don't know. I don't do
well without you.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
I just feel like statist speaking, I'm going first.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
You are three years three years older than me.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I'm also older, and I'm like, man, and I'm gonna
break down.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
But you are so healthy, that's just it. Though you
exercise way more than the average person, Like, I just
feel like that's going to keep you infinitely alive.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
I want to be cremated. Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
No, we talked about this the other day as well.
I want to be cremated. Take me into a sephora
and tell someone I'm the latest. I shut up. Now
you are wearing Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
The Kelsey shade.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It reminds me of the movie Due Date with Robert
Donny Junior galfan Akis when he has his dad's ashes
and a folders can and then Rubbert Donney Junior makes
the coffee and Zach Galafanak like this coffee is kind
of weird, and Rubbert Downey Junior's like, well it was yours,
and He's like what and he's like, yeah, the folders
can you made my dad. I want to be I
want to be an eyeshadow balance.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I don't know if I want to be spread anywhere.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I'm just kidding. Don't spamashes in this.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Sophora because I feel like that's a little weird anywhere
you spread them, it's like that's a dead person. You're
spreading it, like to the ocean, which I guess things
die in the ocean all the time.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I wonder if we've ever like inhaled, someone's ashes up wind.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
At some point. So I don't I don't know that
I would want to be spread anywhere, but I would
probably want to be in like a really cool urn
that's like a spider man head or something.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
And you would say, can I make you into one
of those They actually do those really nice like stones.
Can I turn a part of you into like a
stone to keep me company or like a necklace?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Could you put me into Thanos's glove? And a little
bit of me is inside of each of the infinity stones?
And then whenever you need to like have a memory
of me, you put the glove on, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
See, the other day, I said that being cremated was cheaper,
But now you need me to put you on a
Thanos glove with stones. Sounds very expensive.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It's not that expensive. You can get the glove for
like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
This is such a morbid conversation.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
And then you could take out those stones you could
find a way to make five of the stones and
you put them in there.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
This is why we don't work on a school night,
because we have both lost it.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
And with that we closed the trailer park. But again,
the movie is a calm we live in time. It's
coming out on October eleven. That's one. We're gonna see
you together, right, Yes, and cry too. Yes, it's really
hard for me to cry in a movie.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
I don't cry movies. I cry it commercials or tiktoks.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
The last time I got close to crying, Oh no,
I think I did cry during Blue Beetle. That one
got me the first time and the second time.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
You cried during Blue Beetle. I don't like people think
I'm heartless because I don't cry during movies, but like
tiktoks of like old people alone make me sad animals.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But I don't cry it's sad movies really, because Blue
Beetle isn't a sad movie. It was just the connection
of the character, the character being brown, him reminding me
of my dad. I cried it like the most emotional
part of the movie because I just felt like myself
in that situation and I saw like my family just
mirrored in that family.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, so it was a sad part, but it's not
a sad movie. It takes like a superhero sad things.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
It takes like a superhero movie with a little bit
of sadness to make me cry.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
It was it was like a human thing that made
you cry. Yeah, that's a normal thing to cry.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It, I think so. But I feel like We Live
in Time is going to be a much sadder movie.
And it's probably gonna be a lot harder for this
movie to make me cry than Blue Beetle.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah. I don't really cry it movies, though I don't
cry at books. They cry over random things. I cried
over chicken tenders a couple of weeks ago, but I
was BMS, you can leave that in there. What a
while night, I cut into a gluten free chicken tender
and the color looked off and I started crying. So
that's what it's like living with me.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And with that we closed the trailer park.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
At that point.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
This week's edition of movie lines frame or.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Bar and that is gonna do it for another episode.
Here on the podcast, Kelsey is walking out of here,
but before I go.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
I'm confused about when we're done because I just started
talking and you told me you were still recording. So
am I am? I dismissed yet?
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, I always do the outro after the trailer park.
You're usually not here for this segment.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Okay, I'm gonna go dry my hair now.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
All right. This week's listener shat out of the Week
goes to Brenda, who I actually met in person. I
was at a comic book shop here in Nashville and
she told me she had DM. ME sorry that I
actually missed the DM, but she was wanting to know
different comic book shops in town that I would recommend.
She was in town for sixtieth birthday, was a listener
of the show, was a listener of the podcast, so
(44:19):
appreciate that, Brenda. Instead of replying to your DM, I
got to reply to you in real life. And if
you're coming to Nashville and are also a comic book
fan looking for a good spot, my go to spot
here in town is Rick's Comics. I feel like they
have the best setup. They always have the newest comics,
and they have a really good selection of backstock and
(44:39):
graphic novels, and they have some figures there too. If
you're into that, that is probably my go to. I
also love Great Escape in Nashville that has a bigger
collection of older comics, So if you're looking for something
specific from like back in the day, I mean way
back in like nineties, eighties, even Golden age stuff, they
have a lot of those things as well, and for
(45:00):
pretty good prices. And the place I ran into Brenda
is a place a little bit south of town. It's
called Outer Limits Comics. It's a shop I'm the least
familiar with that was only my second time there, but
they also have a really good stuff. So those would
be my top three if you want to come here
and support local. So thanks to Brenda, it was great
meeting you. Thanks to you listening right now, Thanks for
(45:20):
being subscribed, for listening every single week, for telling a friend.
Until next time, go out and watch good movies and
I will talk to you later.
