Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share
with you the top ten movies I have seen the
most in my lifetime, because this week I have my
review for the new Twisters movie, which the original from
nineteen ninety six. Well, spoiler alert, it's the movie I've
seen the most, but I've talked about it a lot
in this podcast over fifty times. What else is going
(00:20):
to come on that list that I've seen a comparable
amount of times? And then in the trailer Park, we'll
be talking about the new Captain America trailer. Is this
going to be the run of movies that the MCU
needs to revive it? I don't really I think it
needs a revival. I've been here, I haven't jumped ship yet,
but this trailer has a much different tone that I
was expecting. Tease is a great villain in this movie,
(00:43):
So I'm excited for the MCU right now. Is the
rest of America? We'll get into that. Thank you for
being here, thank you for being subscribed, Shout out to
the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies
in a.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
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. A man with so much
movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with glasses.
From the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike Movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I've put together a list of the top ten movies
I've seen the most in my lifetime and how many
times I've seen them each. Some of these are a
rough guestimate based on the year they came out and
how many times I decided to revisit each of these
movies every single year, every single couple of years, and
we'll get into how all those things factor into this list.
Most of these are going to be around the decade
(01:40):
I was born in. I came into this world in
the beautiful year of nineteen ninety one, so obviously there
will be movies from my childhood that I obviously rewatched
again and again that make this list. And when a
movie has been out for two to three decades, obviously
I'm gonna have more time with those. The latest entry
on this list is going to be from two thousand
(02:02):
and nine, So just to give you a range of
the years of movies, we'll be looking at here. What
I feel makes a movie rewatchable for me. Obviously, it
has a lot to do with my first experience watching
these movies. If I see something as a kid that
resonates with me, and then as an adult it becomes
a very nostalgic movie. I oftentimes just rewatch those movies
(02:23):
when I need to watch something that feels very familiar,
I need to just clear my head. A lot of
these movies are that for me. There are other movies
on this list that not necessarily I sought out to
watch these as many times as I have, and it's
either through school or just being on cable all the
time back when I had cable. Those things factor in
(02:44):
as well. But the movies, at least in the top
three on this list are ones that I still go
back and revisit for a very specific reason. I also
have a bunch of honorable mentions that are right there
on the cusp of making this list and possibly overtake
some of these movies on the list. So let's get
right into it. At number ten from two thousand and eight,
(03:06):
I have The Dark Night, and depending on the time
you catch me, this could arguably be my favorite movie
of all time. I've seen it fifteen times from what
I can calculate, and I watched this movie in theaters
totally blew my mind. And when I started putting together
this list, I thought this was going to be higher
(03:27):
for me because it is one of my favorite movies
of all time, not only in the superhero genre, but
just out of any genre. But I find that I'm
a lot more specific on when I decide to rewatch
this movie. I just think I have to have a
specific reason now to go and rewatch this movie. I
think the last time I did is whenever Oppenheimer was
(03:50):
coming out and I wanted to revisit some Christopher Nolan
movies and I had to go and watch this. But
it's a movie that from the opening scene, I have
to finish it. If I see that opening scene, which
is one of my favorites, ever, it just inspires me
to go back and rewatch every single moment in that movie.
It is a hard movie to start just a little
(04:10):
bit and not finish. So I thought it would be
higher just because it's one of my favorites. But I
feel like, out of all the movies in my favorites list,
it kind of lacks a little bit of rewatchability, and
I think it's because it has a much more serious
tone that it's not one that really evokes a fun
emotion in me to sit down and watch like some
(04:32):
of the other movies on this list. So I also
have to kind of be in the right headspace to
go back and rewatch The Dark Knight, but at fifteen times,
it has made my list at number ten. At number
nine is The Original Spider Man from two thousand and
two with Toby Maguire that I've seen twenty times. This
movie was big for me as a kid, obviously, with
Spider Man being my favorite superhero at the time. When
(04:55):
I first watched this movie, it felt like such a
gift to watch because in two thousand I was nine
years old, and I remember the feeling of not really
having a superhero movie like this growing up in the nineties.
A lot of what we got was DC Batman movies,
and those early on had a more serious tone with
(05:17):
the Tim Burton movies, but then towards the end of
the nineties got very comical and a little bit cringe
worthy with performances from Arnold Swarzenegger as mister Free. So
I feel like as a whole of the country didn't
really have a grasp on what a superhero movie was.
They were still leaning more comedic, and we didn't really
(05:37):
have what we have now of more serious tone superhero movies.
I think a big influence on that was not only
the Spider Man movie, which made my list, but the
X Men movies that I feel don't get enough credit
for shifting the country's opinion on what these movies could be.
I also think when it comes to at least the
X Men movies, the reason those weren't so comic accurate
(06:00):
and the depictions of the characters that now we want
is because they had to make it a little bit
more serious and not so corny and cartoon like to
be able to appeal to more people and to show
people that we're trying to do something a little bit
different here. But I remember watching Spider Man for the
first time and kind of having the best of both worlds,
(06:23):
seeing a comic accurate suit but also with a real
storyline in it. One of the best progressions of a
superhero at the time, especially when it came to Marvel,
who was doing movies like Blade at the time. But
really they were struggling as a studio because at that
time just haven't had the success that they have now.
(06:43):
All together, every single Spider Man movie has a heavy
rewatchability for me, and it all depends the mood I'm in.
Do I want to go back and rewatch the Tom
Holland ones, Do I want to go watch the Andrew
Garfield Run, Or do I want to rewatch the animated ones?
So every year I at numb rewatching all of these movies,
(07:05):
but it all goes back to the original from two
thousand and two at number nine. Is Spider Man at
number eight, tied for about the same amount of times,
But somehow I think I've probably seen this movie more
than Spider Man from two thousand and nine. It is
The Hangover. I think I actually ended up seeing this
movie twice in theaters when it came out in two
(07:25):
thousand and nine, which was a really important year for me.
I was graduating high school, about to move from Wantsahatchie
to Austin, and over the summer it was kind of
my free for all, do whatever I want. All revolved
for me around going to the movies. So I'm pretty
sure I watched The Hangover at least twice that summer
when it came out in June of two thousand and nine.
(07:48):
And this is another one that I revisit, the Hangover franchise,
I would say at least once a year. Just this
past vacation, when Kelsey and I went to Arizona, the
Hangover two was on TV, and I started watching that
movie and then ended up coming home from that trip
and finished the rest of that which inspires me to
now want to go watch one again and want to
(08:10):
go watch three again. Hands down, one is the best
of that trilogy. But there's a special place in my
heart for each of these movies because I think they
are all funny in their own right, and now that
we're a little bit removed from them, I think if
you rewatch them now, you would appreciate them a little
bit more, because I think the complaints with these movies
when they came out one after another is that two
(08:32):
is essentially the same thing as one, because the exact
same plot happens just in a different country. And then
when they did the Hangover three, it was revisiting one
and again. There is just something about the formula of
these movies, the cast which is phenomenal, the unforgettable quotes
that we really haven't had since a movie like The
Hangover Part one in two thousand and nine, that these movies,
(08:56):
even though they're dumb, even though they're pretty much the
same movie over and over again, I love them so much.
And the first one just happens to be on TBS
all the time. And back when I had cable, i'd
be flipping through I would see The Hangover and I
would stop and rewatch it. And this is a movie,
unlike The Dark Night for me, that I could pick
(09:17):
it up at any time, it doesn't matter, and I
will sit there and watch it till the end. So
at number eight, I have The Hangover. At number seven
is another comedy from nineteen ninety five, a movie that
I've seen twenty five times. At least. It is Friday.
This is a movie that I did not get to
see in theaters because at that time I was four
years old, although I don't think it was much too
(09:39):
longer after nineteen ninety five that I watched this. Maybe
it ended up being in ninety eight or ninety nine,
when I was like seven or eight when I first
watched this movie. Obviously, it's a movie that a kid
my age at that time should not see. It's righted r.
There's a lot of bad words, no nudity in it,
some violence in it, so I don't think it is terrible.
(09:59):
I I have an older brother and an older sister
that I am seven and nine years younger than, so
I think for me, I was always exposed to things
that they were watching as teenagers that I probably shouldn't
have been watching in my age. My parents were cool
with it for the most part. I think when it
came to language they were fine with. It was just
(10:21):
words to them. I think, coming from Hispanic parents who
curse a lot pretty openly, they didn't see that as
such a big deal. They were more concerned about nudity
than language. So Friday was actually a movie. I mean,
there are some sexual themes in the movie, but it's
not anybody doing it or you're not seeing anything. It
(10:42):
is just some crude jokes in there, and I think
they were okay with it because even my mom loves Friday.
She will quote this movie at work and her younger
coworkers will crack up because they're like, how do you
know Friday? My mom knows so many lines from this movie,
and oddly it is a movie that we would watch
as a family because it was so funny. And I
think a big thing that comes into play with this
(11:05):
one and some of the other movies on this list
was having it on VHS. And we wouldn't get our
movies from Walmart or any big box store. We would
go to the flea market to get our VHS tapes
because we had a guy who sold them pretty discounted
and maybe he got them off the truck. I'd never
(11:26):
questioned it, but it was so much cheaper than buying
them from Walmart. I remember getting Friday on VHS, and
I also think our VHS guy, Yeah, we had a
VHS guy, that's what we called him. He maybe got
different versions for cheaper, because whenever we got Dumb and Dumber,
we had like the Canadian cover where they looked different.
Maybe they were bootleg I don't know. I wasn't questioning it.
(11:49):
We were broke at the time, so we weren't going
to the theater very often. We would spring for the
VHS because we got more out of it. We could
rewatch it over and over again. Friday was one we got.
Still remember the VHS tape with the blue lettering logo
the yellow cover iconic movie. I've seen it twenty five times.
(12:10):
It comes in at number seven. At number six from
two thousand and four. A movie that I've seen twenty
five plus times is National Treasure with Nicholas Cage two
thousand and four DVD was King And the reason I've
seen this movie so much is because of that. And
I was in middle school at the time, and what
(12:31):
do you do in middle school when you need to
learn about history You watch something on DVD. I have
the DVD menu of this movie remembered and burned into
my head because from two thousand and four to when
I graduated in two thousand and nine, every history teacher
I had would show this movie at some point, at
least twice a year. Sometimes I would watch this in
(12:53):
different classes. So if they could have eighty correlation between
what they were teaching us and what this movie showed,
we would be watching National Treasure. So a movie I
actually never saw in theaters, but have seen so many
times throughout my academic career that alone has landed it
on this list. But because of that, having watched it
(13:15):
so many times in middle and high school, it is
a very nostalgic movie for me. So now anytime I'm
kind of itching to relive those DVD days of Glory,
I hop over on Disney Plus and rewatch it. And
the reason I love this movie so much is because
you do learn. I learned a lot about history by
(13:35):
watching it, and for the most part, is historically accurate.
Obviously they take some liberties on exactly how the Declaration
of Independence is stored, but for the most part you're
not learning a whole lot of fake facts. They just
Hollywood up the entire story a lot, which is fun.
And Disney really doesn't make fun, grounded adventure movies like
(13:58):
this anymore that I don't have a whole lot of
special effects or big fight and action sequences, or aren't
remakes of animated movies. And I wish that they would
go back to making a National Treasure movie because they
are just, at the core just fun for everybody. You
learn a lot, which I think is something that Disney
has gotten a little bit away from. They do make
(14:18):
a really good sports inspirational drama now, which, by the way,
Young Women in the Sea is now available on Disney Plus.
The Daisy Ridley movie about Gertrude Etterly, the first woman
to ever cross the English Channel by swimming. It highly
recommend that one, which is a movie that gave me
that same type of feeling that I got the first
time I watched National Treasure, but on a different level,
(14:40):
but kind of in that same category of historical drama,
even though National Treasure isn't based on a true story whatsoever.
But I feel like for a period of time in
the two thousands, that was Disney's bread and butter. If
you go back and look at their best sports dramas,
like remember the Titans, they all came out in the
two thousands, So maybe this could be a revival in that.
(15:02):
Maybe eventually we do get another National Treasure movie, which
they did make a sequel. They did do the series
on Disney plus that did get canceled, But we really
need Nicholas Cage back to make it work. Maybe coming
off Long Legs, he wants to do something a little
bit more family friendly. I would love to see it.
It comes in my list at number six, National Treasure
(15:22):
with twenty five times getting into the top five, staying
in the Disney category, but moving down to Pixar at
number five. Having seen it thirty times from two thousand
and three is Finding Nemo. And the reason these are
back to back is again the watching them in school factor.
Not only do I have Finding Nemo memorized in English,
(15:45):
but I also have it memorized in Spanish because I
watched this movie probably three or four times a year
after it came out in two thousand and three. Because
not only would we watch it in just like English
class or just anytime we had movie day in high school,
we would watch it in Spanish class to learn Spanish,
(16:06):
which was kind of a cheat code that my Spanish
teacher had at the time in high school, because he
would throw it on, change the language, change the subtitles,
and force us to write down lines that we remembered
from the movie and translate it, and supposed to be
quizzing us on it, although I don't think he ever did.
But out of it, we were able to watch it
(16:27):
Pixar movie, and for me, because I was bilingual, I
knew how to speak and write Spanish, it didn't really
make much a difference.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
To me.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I could understand it all the same. Other people probably
hated it because they couldn't understand what they were saying.
But I think I've never really had a problem watching
anything in Spanish and being able to take it in.
Kind of funny how your brain works that way. But
for that reason, this movie also makes my list, and
because I watched it in multiple places in different classes,
(16:57):
probably more so than National Treasure. It is also a
movie that I will go back and revisit. Not too
often anymore, but whenever I'm doing a deep dive into
my favorite Pixar movies, I go back and watch Finding Nemo.
Having seen it thirty times, it makes it at number five.
At number four. One of my favorite music movies of
(17:18):
all time, probably at number one would be I was
making that list, it is La Bamba, which came out
in nineteen eighty seven. I've seen it at least thirty
five times. This one probably goes back to it not
only being one of my favorite movies, but one of
my favorite movies as a family to watch, because how
many movies do we have about Mexican American characters, and
(17:42):
in this case being based on a real life person,
Richie Allens, who was only seventeen years old when he died.
But not only that, his career was only months long,
less than a year from when he got a record
deal to the height of his fame to ultimately his
death all happened within a year, which is mind blowing
to me. And this is a movie that is really
(18:05):
not only mine, but a lot of people's really only
tangible evidence of his life because with his career all
being in the fifties, he died on February third, nineteen
fifty nine. There really isn't a whole lot of video
footage that you can go back and watch performances of
There are a handful on YouTube, but I think for
the most part, we all have the image of lou
(18:28):
Diamond Phillips in this movie more so than we do
the actual Richie Valens, and that is a powerful thing.
And I'm glad this movie exists because otherwise he could
have been a person in history that we would have
forgotten about a little bit. We would have had the music, obviously,
but having this movie and depiction of him and the
(18:48):
telling of his entire life and his career, this film
was able to immortalize his story and immortalize his music.
So I think that is a powerful thing. And again,
going back to the Mexican American care characters and real
life figures. We don't really have a whole lot of
these movies. We have La Bamba, we have Celina, and
those were kind of our bible of movies with characters
(19:11):
that look like us growing up. And again another movie
I had on VHS that anytime we really couldn't decide
as a family on what to watch, we would just
throw on LaBamba. It is another one that there are
countless quotes, there are countless moments and gestures, and the
ending that all had us gutted collectively. That memory still
(19:31):
lives ingrained in my mind. Bob shouting Richie at the
top of his lungs with that slide guitar playing underneath them. Oh,
what a crushing movie moment, What a great film. At
number four is La Bamba at number three from nineteen
ninety four. It is the Lion King that I've seen
over forty times. This is the original animated movie and
(19:54):
could quite possibly be the first movie I ever saw
in theaters, although I have no recollect it because I
was three years old at the time. Maybe maybe not
my parents should have even taken me along to the
theater to watch this movie. But the story I really
know from that because I don't recall anything from being
three years old, but I remember everybody's saying that my
(20:14):
dad fell asleep watching this movie in theaters, which is
kind of a thing to do every now and then
as a family when we would go watch a movie
in theaters. My dad would get a drink, get some popcorn,
and as soon as he was done eating, he was
out snoring through the rest of the movie. So maybe
he made it up to win Mufasa dies. Maybe so
(20:37):
I remember nothing of this, but that is a trait
that he has continued even till now. I think probably
in the last five years, we've convinced him to go
back to the theater, but still hasn't finished a movie.
He still has that calling card of falling to sleep
right after he's done eating. So I was a little
bit too young to remember seeing this in theaters, although
I was there, so I can say I saw The
(20:58):
Lion King in theaters at three years old. But as
soon as this movie hit VHS, I feel like I
drove my parents insane over how many times I watched
this movie. It just existed in our VCR, and I
remember those old school Disney VHS tapes that had that
big plastic casing, just hearing those things pop open, being
(21:21):
able to pull out the little insert and read that.
Just the feeling of having a tangible thing that you're
watching just helps you remember it so much more. But
I remember popping open those VHS cartridges and throwing that
VHS in is something that we're not going to have
anymore because now we just open up Netflix and click
play and that is it. But I would say just
(21:42):
throughout the nineties alone, I probably watched this movie thirty
to thirty five times, and since then I don't revisit
it that often. And I think the five times out
of the nineties that I probably rewatched this movie, we're
leading up to the live action movie in twenty nineteen,
so I could have a grasp on it. And there've
(22:02):
also been a couple of times this year being one
of them, that they've celebrated some anniversary in theaters and
I've actually gone to rewatch it in theaters. It is
a classic. I'm not sure now with how many great
movies that have entered my top ten of all time recently,
that it would still make my top ten, but for
sure top twenty, if not top fifteen, because it is
(22:25):
a Classic from nineteen ninety four at number three. Is
The Lion King with forty times on my watch count
at number two from nineteen ninety one, having seen it
at least forty five times. Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Secret of the Ooz so not the original part two
that came after the original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja
(22:46):
Turtles movie. And I think the reason I've seen this
one more is because it was my favorite growing up,
And I think because as a kid, I was drawn
more to the comedic tone of the Ninja Turtles in
this movie, so more so than the first one, which
I feel has a much more serious tone at times
doesn't even feel like a kid's movie. This one was
a little bit more cartoony. The overall tone and colors
(23:10):
were a little bit more bright. The Ninja Turtles themselves
were more comedic, and they didn't really use their weapons
so much in this one. They would find different things
like sausages or mustard or other ways to defeat the villains.
In this movie, even the villains Toka and Raizar are
much more comedic. Shredder looks a little bit more comic
(23:30):
book cartoon accurate, and then you have Vanella eyes, so
I feel overall this was a more fan favorite at
the time, but now looking back on these movies as
an adult, I lean way more towards Part one and
have rewatched that one more in the last five years.
Then I have Secret of the Us because now I
(23:51):
can appreciate the grid of that movie, the emotion of
that movie. So I think over time now part one
will catch up in total rewatch a well. For right
now TMNT, Secret of the US is at number two,
and of course at number one, having seen it now
at least fifty one times. I got a little fuzzy
after I watched it for the fiftieth time, but we
(24:13):
did just rewatch it again anticipation for this week's Twisters.
It is Twitter from nineteen ninety six. A friend of
mine just told me they had never seen this movie,
but saw me talking about it so much they decided
to watch it for the first time and completely loved it.
My friend was on a flight and actually had some
turbulence during the tornado scene at the drive in theater
(24:33):
and felt like he was in the movie, which is
a similar feeling I've seen a lot of people experience
watching the new one. In forty X where you have
the wind spitted Natcha. Some people says it feels like
they've been in a car wreck after watching it in
forty X. So I feel like the old me would
be surprised that somebody had never seen this movie. But
I think now I'm starting to understand more that there
(24:55):
are so many things to watch when it comes to
TV shows and movies that I'm not as shocked now
when people say they haven't seen classics. I will always
encourage you to go check out some of the classics
that are my favorites. But I'll never be mad at
you for not seeing a movie that I love and
have seen as many times as Twister. I did ask
you guys on social media some of the movies that
(25:17):
you have seen the most. Tanya Horton said Finding Nemo
every day for fourteen years. Her sixteen year old has autism,
and they able to watch it at least once a
day when he was with her. I love that there
was a movie that you bonded over and Finding Nemo
also making my list. This comment resonated with me, and
there is something comforting about a really well made animated movie.
(25:39):
It also looks like your watch Cout definitely has me
beat on that one. Mark Stutsman said Galaxy Quest. I
saw it six times in theaters and at least fifteen
to twenty times since then. Galaxy Quest isn't really a
movie that I would anticipate somebody seeing not only that
many times outside of the theater, but seeing any movie
(26:00):
in theaters for six times is an impressive feat. The
most I've seen a movie in theaters is probably three times,
and that has to be if I saw a movie
twice when it came out during its first run and
then it comes back out as a re release. Very
few times that that has happened. I pretty much max
out at two, and that is usually when I go
(26:22):
watch a movie and then have to go take my
mom to watch it because I know she would love it.
So an impressive total count for you there, Mark, But
I think what is even more impressive is seeing one
movie in theaters six times. And Caro on Facebook also
said Titanic, which is one I've probably seen without even
trying a pretty good amount of times, maybe right under ten,
(26:44):
because that is a long movie, that is a three
hour movie. I wouldn't count the times that I've seen
that movie impartially because it is a movie that get
shown on TV a lot, but I would always catch
it at different random times and have probably collectively added
up to one or two times total. But there are
some movies like that that I have seen a good
amount of times without even trying. I would also put
(27:06):
Mean Girls in that category. Shrek and the Wizard of Oz,
which is a movie I just revisit from time and
time again because I'm so infatuated with how that movie
was made and how it probably blew everybody's mind back
in the thirties. Other movies that almost made the list
were Avengers Infinity War that are probably seen eight to
ten times at the most, but that is another longer
(27:29):
movie and also one that has come out fairly recently,
so obviously haven't had as much time to rewatch that one.
Heavyweights is also on my list Billy Madison, Dumb and Dummer,
which I think comedies just have a great rewatchability, and
they're often movies, at least from the nineties that I
didn't necessarily see in theaters but have seen so many
times again on VHS, DVD and rewatching those a lot
(27:52):
on cable. Another one that almost made my list was
the original Willy Wonka was probably my favorite movie as
a kid, non animated, and most recently, Detective Peak at
You has really been creeping up in my total watch
count because for some reason it's always available on every
Southwest or any flight I take. It's an inflying movie,
(28:14):
so even if I don't finish it on the plane,
I'll end up coming home and rewatching it on Hulu
or Netflix, whoever has it at the time. And even
though it wasn't exactly the Pokemon movie I wanted back
when it came out, it's the best we have so far.
Still hoping we get another installment fairly soon. So that
is the list. A little bit from what you guys
said on social media. If you want to share the
(28:36):
movie with me that you've seen the most, just go
comment on my Facebook or x You can find all
the links to that in the episode notes of this podcast.
Well come back and I'll give my spoiler free review
of a movie I've been waiting for for so long, Twisters.
If you feel it, chase it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I wasn't country.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
How would you do it? You do it?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh no, I'm not doing it?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Do it? You were just doing it? Before we starry recordable.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
No no, no, if you feel it, chase it. There
we go.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, better, all right, we're here to review Twisters. Obviously,
we've talked about this movie in depth of how much
we were both anticipating it. We saw it in IMAX,
and I'll just say at the start of this review,
this is a movie you have to see in theaters.
If you have an IMAX around you. It's the way
to see it, I think. And I got to DM
(29:28):
somebody asking me if you need to see it in
forty X. I've heard some conflicting things about that.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Heard it feels like you're in a car accident.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think if there's one movie that you had to
watch in the forty X, I don't really recommend it
because I don't really think that experience adds to me
enjoying the movie anymore. I've never benefited from watching a
movie in three D. But they have the wind, they
have the water, they have all the things that I feel.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It sounds miserable though it does. I don't want to
be like cold and wet during a movie.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But if you're into it, this would be the movie
for that because you get to utilize all those things
that they offer, but I just wouldn't recommend it because
I've never had the best experience with it. While we
were watching this movie, somebody like kicked the back of
our seat and I was like, hey, we got the
forty X.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I heard that it's really about if you get motion
sick easily, which I do.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I think it would be fine for maybe ten fifteen minutes,
but for the entire almost two hour movie, I don't
know that I could do it. And it's also a
little bit expensive. So unless you are just die hard
into wanting thrills and feeling like you're on a roller coaster,
I think just seeing it in Imax is enough if
you have one. If not, I think just the biggest
(30:38):
screen you can find, because this movie utilizes every inch
of the screen. And we're only going to talk briefly
about what the movie is about, because I feel like
not knowing much about the plot is a lot better
going into this movie, I would agree. So it's essentially
Daisy Edgar Jones' character was a storm chaser. Something tragic
(31:02):
happens in her life and she leaves storm chasing behind.
She moves to New York City and just starts working
at like a place where they I mean they still
work in weather and predict things.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I think she probably works like the National weather S.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, I think it's a place. I think that's what.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I think that's at a place where they do the leather.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
They don't really say, I don't really say like, oh,
this is their job. I think I did see it
like on a laptop or something, their logo. But she
goes there and then she gets sucked back into storm chasing.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Good.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Good, I'm gonna keep using those throughout the review.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Great.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And then Glenn Powell is like the charming but kind
of a villain type guy who has a YouTube channel.
He's like a hardcorese tornado wrangler.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, not a storm chaser tornado.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So then Wrangler they start they kind of cross past,
start butting heads, and that's kind of where the story unfolds.
Can they coexist? Can they you under together? They work together,
and they're essentially unlike in the first one, instead of
trying to throw all the sensors into it, they're kind
of past that and they're trying to find a way
(32:11):
to just eliminate.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Tornadoes, disrupt the tornado.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Shut it down. I will say that as somebody who
loved the original. Obviously, I am glad that they didn't
try to remake the original story. It is a standalone sequel.
The only real references you get to the original is
in the opening scene you see Dorothy. They still have
it around, and the only other nods to the original
(32:38):
I would say Daisy Edgar Jones. Her wardrobe at times
looks very much like Joe, like the white tank top
and the khakis. Kind of a small little probably o
to Ellen Hunt. And then Bill Paxson's son does make
a cameo. If you watch it, there's a scene with
an angry hotel customer and that's his son. Aside from that,
(33:00):
there's no references to any past characters. And I guess
since it takes place in Oklahoma, that's the other thing
tying this one to the original, and I'm glad that
they did that. The entire dynamics are different. There's not
any moment that they try to replicate anything from the
original or think, hey, hey, remember that.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
There's no callbacks yes.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Which I always find annoying because I want something to
stand on its own. Being almost thirty years after the original,
I think if we went into it and got a
lot of the same it wouldn't have worked, So I
enjoyed that aspect of it. And not only did it
have just some great just visuals, one of the best
openings in a movie I've seen all year.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
I was shocked by the opening, Like I looked over
you and I was like, why isn't he expressing emotion?
Turns out you were just also shocked in your hart
was racing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
And I don't really have that happen to me in
movies anymore, where I would just glued into that opening sequence.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
My jaw dropped.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
There was so many just like twist and turns and
just that opening sequence. There's another one, but I loved it,
and I was kind of like going into it, like, oh,
this is gonna be good. What's the tone gonna be like?
And it came to play in the opening sequence.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
There were people that walked in like ten minutes late,
and I'm like, you just missed the best opening sequence.
And then they tried to sit in like four different
areas of the theater and I was like, I was
very confused by it. I was like, you missed a
great opening.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They have meant to the movie since ninety six apparently,
but I love the opening sequence and then once the
story starts to unfold and you see their dynamic work together.
What I started to notice is this one didn't focus
so much on the team's chemistry. I feel like it
was Daisy Edgar Jones and Glenn Powell and their chemistry
(34:48):
which was which was fantastical, But this one really just
highlights their story, their romance there well they won't they
their entire working together relationship, and it didn't have that
same overall team dynamic which I thought the first one
was about, like the bonding of the team with the
storm Chasers.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I would kind of disagree, okay why I would say
there was still team dynamic, but it was more about
like the other team, the one like Anthony Ramos's team
that she kind of worked with, and it was about
their dynamic and like what they were doing. So I
still think there was team dynamic, but it was a
different dynamic this time not involving There was still dynamic,
(35:29):
maybe it was secondary to the rest of the plot,
but there was still good dynamic team dynamic.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, I just feel like in the first one, like
that is what the whole story is about. Like them
all bonding together all the now cast, the characters like
Rabbit and Dusty.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But it's also about Helena Hunt and Bill Paxton not
getting divorced and then him bringing along his new fiance.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, that's kind of the by the way, Melissa got
robbed in the first one, Like she did nothing wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
She did nothing wrong, but you are like meant to
hate her because you want Joe.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I don't remember hating or well, maybe it's the.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Movie Bill, it's Bill. Okay. I was like, okay, yeah,
Joe and Bill. You want them to be together because
all she does is.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Tag along for him to get the divorce papers signed, and.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
She ends up on getting flipped around, almost dies.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
There's howls, he's into it, and then that scene at
the motel wherever. She's like, hey, I'm I'm leaving, I'm
not coming back. I feel bad for her.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Yeah, we were Listen, Hollywood loves to meat. The woman
is the villain.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I don't think he was. I mean I think if
anybody it's kind of Bill, like, oh, it's like you're
back with your new fiance.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And your current wife who you're still din divorced.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
From, technically fall back in love with her and then leave.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, he's he's the bad guy in that one, but we.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Don't have that kind of flood in this one. I guess.
I'm glad though that they didn't have that same dynamic
or try to replicate it, because it made it feel
a little bit fresh.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, it wasn't like we said, it wasn't a remake.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
The only other thing that I thought was a little
bit weird, Like I think the tornadoes themselves looked a
lot better.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
The like tech advancements and like the CGI and stuff.
The tornadoes were cool.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
And I think also because we saw it in IMAX,
I felt like we were right there in it. Maybe
it was also like the cinematography that had like a
more emphasis like on going into it. I think all
the shots were just really great, even like when they
used the drones and the go pros. I was curious
to see how that was going to mix together, because
I think overall it looked good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
It was so realistic. There was one scene where I
was squeezing your hand so hard because I was so
anxious because the storms looked so real.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
The storms did. There was some questionable CGI. I felt
like with some of the windmills, it still looked almost
like video game graphics.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I have nothing bad to say about this film. I
already want to go see it again. I actually, well,
they asked you if you wanted to go see it
again today, It's true a little too soon.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
These are my odd critiques. The other one I had
was I feel like the dialogue wasn't as memorable because
the first one is so quotable. There's so many moments
that just live with me over the years. I don't
really feel like there was that moment, and maybe if
they were fishing for it it would feel a little
bit forced. There were a couple of funny moments I
felt more so on the Glenn Powell side, but I
(38:10):
don't think there was those big memorable quotes that I
was expecting and one of the biggest reasons that I
love Twister. Those are my odd critiques. What were some
of your other favorite parts of it?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I love Daisy Edgar Jones. I thought she was so
good in it, and it's like the first big I
feel like Action disaster Blockbuster we've seen her in and
I think it's just the start for her. I thought
it was great. I'm glad that it did well at
the box office.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, it opened to eighty point five million dollars in
the United States. It cost about two hundred million dollars
to make. Had the biggest weekend opening ever for a
disaster film, which is awesome. Like you and I are
our favorite category. We love disaster films and people.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
I don't want to be in one, but I love
to watch the film.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I feel like in critically acclaim there usually are not
even at the box office. Sometimes they flop and they're
like straight to cable.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
There was no flopping like in the forecast for this.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It also had the second biggest opening for a live
action movie from this year, and right now it is
the third biggest opening weekend only behind Inside Out and
Dune Part two. So I think overall it's gonna do
really well in the run at the theater. I think
it came out at a good time, coming out after
Minions and before Dead pulling Wolverine. But I think people
are going to continue to see it. How'd you feel
(39:26):
about Glenn Powell.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Putting me on the spot here? I thought he was
great in it. They gave the audience what they wanted.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
They gave me what I wanted, Like my ovaries were tingling.
By watching this, I almost felt like Glenn Powell was
too good looking in some of the scenes, the white
T shirt and I seeing that in the trailer, but
even seeing it on the big screen in Imax, I
was like, man, now that is the scene. That is
your trailer, that is your movie poster. I mean, he's
already on the trajectory of being the next big movie star.
(39:54):
He's like part Matthew McConaughey, part Tom Cruise, and I
think this movie kind of slid him and he's on
a great run right now from anyone but you hit
Man on Netflix and now Twisters. I think he's gonna
be undeniable.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
He also just I feel like he seems really genuine,
Like his parents make a cameo in every movie. His
parents are like always going to like press with him.
He brings his dog. What did I ask you the
other day? I was like, do you feel secure enough
in our marriage to be fine with the fact that
I'm drooling over Gunpound? You were like yeah, whatever. It
was like great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Whatever gets people back into the theater, That's all I
care about. We need a movie start like him. So overall,
what would you rate Twisters?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Five out of five tornadoes, ten out of ten tornadoes.
I mean, I know that's the same that's taking it
too a higher scale. I mean it's perfect. I truly
am kind of mad that you don't want to go
see it again today, But it's fine. We'll take that
off her.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Well, watch it eventually again in theaters. I would give
it a strong four point five out of five cowboy
hats or even Texas hats that I'm wearing right now.
And I think it's because the original for me is
a five out of five. It's never gonna move out
of that slot. This one came very close. I think
it comes down to rewatchability, and I would rewatch this
(41:07):
movie right now. I don't know if it's gonna have
that same effect that I'm gonna rewatch it as many
times as I have the original.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
This is I said it on the way home last night.
This is my new Step Up. And I've told that
story about where I watched Step Up every day for
a month. This is. I will be watching Twisters two
every day when it comes out on streaming.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
But here's how I feel different after watching the original
and watching this one. I would rather have a sequel
now to this one than I would rewatch it again
fifty times, and I think they're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
You think there's gonna be another one?
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I think so. It's made really good money. I think,
depending on how it does for the rest of its run.
I think it's kind of hard not to do a
sequel at this point with if you have the success,
if you still have the cast, them all them really
being like their biggest movie right now for everybody, I
(41:57):
feel like it's gonna be hard to deny doing another one.
My mind, I'm all in for it. I think it
was a great theater experience because full theater, big action.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Yeah, I was like one of the I feel like
that was the first one this year that we've seen
that's been like the full theater sold out. It was quiet,
there was no disruptions, like no one was talking, no
one was on their phone. It was that's like the
perfect movie atmosphere when everyone is so excited for something.
I love that. I love that. It's the word I'm
(42:29):
looking for, Terie. Yes, thank you. I was like community
now starts with the category.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Yes, if you haven't seen it yet, highly recommend it.
If it wouldn't have been for the original. I'd have
given it a perfect score, but just having that one
in my heart, I just can't give it that.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I give them both the five.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
But it's phenomenal, A big win for disaster movies.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Make more like that, Make more disaster movies like that.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Justice for disaster movies.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Justice for disaster films. I am such a weather nerd too.
Like I also liked I feel like they talked a
little bit more about like they did the tornado itself.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
They also like debunk some tornado miss.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
That was interesting to me because I love leather. Like
anytime there's a hurricane, you come home and I'm watching
like the Weather channel while I work. It just is
an odd fascination to me that I love understanding weather,
like following the weather. I love following like when the
thunderstorm's developing, and I kind of wish I was like
Kate in this movie. She's just like looks at the
(43:28):
sky and she's like tornado developing over there.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, that is the way that she also kind of
emulated Bill Paxton in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
She knows just by like a natural instincts.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, she has like that gift, and they all want
to follow her.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
They did bring I feel like the tornadoes into scarier areas.
I don't want to give any spoilers, but it wasn't
just like tornadoes and like the wide open fields, like
there were some more like she don't really want a
tornado to hit there. Yeah, there was a lot more destruction.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
More casualties, which was also like, yeah, they're going for it.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
I watched a behind the scenes clip of them filming
one of them, and I was like, they used this
like huge high powered fan to like emulate it, and
that was kind of funny watching them all get blown around.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Well, there we go, there's a review. It's time to
head down to movie Mike. Trailer paus the new Captain
America movie looks way better than I was anticipating. Captain
America Brave New World coming out February twelve, twenty twenty five,
so we don't really have a whole lot of time
(44:34):
to wait until this one. And after watching this trailer
for me, February can't come soon enough. So Anthony Mackie
is finally getting his own solo Captain America movie. We
did get the Falcon in the Winter Soldier Disney Plus show.
That was a little bit lackluster. That TV show probably
(44:56):
should have been a movie, but even then didn't really
move the along, So we really haven't had a chance
to see Anthony Mackie really take over this role. But
now in this trailer we see it all in its
full red, white and blue glory. The wings look fantastic,
the action looks really stellar. But I think for me
(45:18):
the thing that was most unexpected about this trailer was
the tone. It looks completely different than anything we've seen
from Marvel, I would say in the last five years,
because we're getting away from anything cosmic, anything too overly comedic,
which is something they really leaned into a little bit
(45:38):
too much. That all the Marvel movies have to be
fun and lighthearted and for everybody, this is going back
to the days of the early MCU Captain America movies
like Civil War The Winners Soldier that were really just
straight ahead action, which is what the core integrity of
the MCU was back in the day. Maybe you have
(46:00):
missed it, didn't watch it. Back in twenty nineteen, Avengers
Endgame came out. Maybe you've heard of it, But in
that movie, Chris Evans character Steve Rodgers Captain America goes
back to spend time with Peggy Carter and then gives
up being Captain America gives his vibranium shield to Sam
Wilson played by Anthony Mackie, who's to take over the
role of Captain America. We have some new people in
(46:22):
this movie, like Harrison Ford taking over as Thunderbolt Ross.
In this movie, his character is running for president and
one of his positions is that he wants to make
Captain America an official military position. So before we get
into more about what this movie is about why I
think it's actually going to be really good, here's just
a little bit of the Brave New World trailer. I
(46:44):
have to admit I'm still getting used to the new look.
He said to the must lose the election. You and
I I haven't always agreed in the past, but I
want to make another run at making Captain America an
official military position.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
And if we disagree on how to manage this situation,
then what happens.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
You may be Captain America, but you're not Steve Rogers.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
You're right, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
And that statement there, spoken by Harrison Ford is how
I felt before this trailer that Anthony Mackie ask, Captain
America can never live up to what Chris Evans did
with that character, and Captain America hasn't even been my
favorite character in the MCU. I often thought he's a
little bit vanilla. I don't really like my superheroes to
(47:37):
be boy scouts, to be so predictable and just like
all about doing the right thing. I like my superheroes
to be a little bit flawed, to have more of
just human qualities. That's why Spider Man has been my favorite.
He has a lot more personal conflict going on that
goes into play on how he approaches being a superhero.
(47:57):
Sometimes he doesn't always do the right thing. Captain America.
At the other hand, Steve Rodgers is always doing the
right thing and noble and all American super soldier, which
he is great for. I think he shined more an
Infinity War an Endgame than I ever loved him in
any of the solo movies, really, but it was really
Infinity War and then Endgame War. I really grew to
(48:19):
love him, and at the height of loving him, Chris
Evans decided, well, probably because it went along with everything
going on, that he is not going to be Captain
America and passed it on to Anthony Mackie slash Sam Wilson,
and I thought in my head that, well, he's not
really gonna cut it. It's not really good to be
the same because a lot of what made Captain America
(48:41):
great was Chris Evans' performance. But now seeing this trailer
and seeing them address that just a little bit and
seeing how this is going to feel like his real
introduction into being the character, I'm excited for it. I
think the action in this movie looks slick. All suit
design is growing on me. I think the thing that
(49:03):
I've had trouble with when it comes to Falcon is
that he doesn't really have any super ability. Because Captain
America has the super serum makes them fast, which makes
them strong, which makes him the super soldier that he is.
And Anthony McKee's character was really only trained by Chris
Evans in the movie, so he does have that. He
also has the same military background, but when it comes
(49:26):
to his superhero abilities, he relies on the fact that
he has the wings, which were made with Wakandan technology,
so the Black Panther designed his wings. They're detachable, they
can fly, they can glide with them. But I always
just felt he was a little bit vulnerable, even though
Iron Man is kind of along the same lines of
(49:46):
being the same thing. I just feel like that technology
is a lot more advanced and this Captain America is
a little bit more exposed to the real big threats.
You know, he has the goggles with the infrared vision
and the sight enhancement. Obviously, he has the fighting skills
from being in the US Armed Forces. And the other
thing he had in the comic books that they really
(50:08):
haven't showcased in the movies or the TV show yet
is that he has a telepathic bond with birds. So
maybe that'll come into play here, or maybe they'll lean
away from that because they'll make them look a little
bit like ant Man, which a lot of people find
that a little bit cheeseball, So I am curious to
see how they address that, or at least how that
plays into him defeating the villain in this movie, which
(50:31):
y'all addressed in a bit. But before that, the other
thing that really stood out to me as looking and
working pretty well at least in this trailer is Harrison
Ford taking over as Thunderbolt. Ross William Hurt played the
character before first in the Incredible Hulk movie from two
thousand and eight, which I really enjoyed. I would say
is one of the best movies in the MCU in
(50:51):
that first phase, even though everybody has collectively just not
loved any of the solo Incredible Hulk movies. But he's
just one of my favorite common characters of all time
that I just have these rose colored glasses when I
go watch those movies. But William Hurt was Thunderbolt Ross
in that movie. He did pass away in twenty twenty two,
but Harrison Ford in the role works really well. Even
(51:14):
at eighty two years old, still find him really believable.
And hey goes right together right now with the people
running for president, so his character is trying to run
for president. Obviously in Civil War they butted heads because
they did not see things the same way with how
he was trying to control the superheroes, so it looks
like those tensions are going to arise again. We see
(51:37):
somebody trying to take out Harrison Ford in the middle
of this trailer by shattering some bulletproof glass, so at
some point they will be against each other, and Thunderbolt
Ross in the comics turns into the villain known as
Red Hulk. Not sure he's going to have the same
origin story, but in the comics he was exposed to
(51:58):
gamma radiation, much like the Orige Incredible Hulk, but the
Red Hulk is bigger, stronger, faster, His skin is obviously
red and has the ability to get fire red hot
and burst into flames. So he is a force to
be reckoned with. And I know there was speculation about
Red Hulk being teased in this trailer, and I was
(52:19):
still surprised to see it. I love the poster for
this movie, which is Captain America's shield being held by
the big Red Hand, which is just a fantastic poster,
one of the better ones that they have done. I
hope that that is the lead one they used to
promote this movie and we get away from the floating
head redundancy, because just that image alone really shows you
(52:41):
the story of this movie. So with the Red Hulk's introduction,
they could be teeing that up for the Thunderbolts movie,
which will probably still come out after this, although I
really hope the MCU gets away from doing that of
tying together all the movies teasing. Getting the post credits
scene means I think that era is over, and I
(53:04):
think by getting away from that and just making solid
standalone stories, let them be trilogies. That is fine. They
could make three Captain America movies with Anthony McGee's story beginning, middle,
and inn in those three part I think is how
they need to do it. And obviously they're going to
build to another Avengers movies, which it looks like the
(53:25):
Russo brothers will be directing Avengers five and they have
to be building and the synergy all the ways that
they have reached the level they have now. I just
think that formula has kind of exhausted itself and they
should take a break from it. They should just focus
on just making great action movies like some of the classics,
(53:45):
and I think this movie, after seeing this trailer, has
the potential for that. You also have John Carlo Esposito,
who you put them in any movie as a villain
and he just makes it better. It hasn't really been
solidified on what role he is playing in this movie,
but as the dark shades, you know he's playing a
bad guy and he just elevates every movie because he
is such a great and convincing villain going all the
(54:08):
way back to his days and breaking bad. So if
I had to look and predict the trajectory of the MCU,
I would say it's about it be on the rise.
With Deadpool and Wolverine coming out this week, I think
that movie is going to crush it at the box office.
It's gonna be the next billion dollar movie of the year,
and that will win back some people. If that movie
(54:29):
is good in its first week inspires other people to
see it, we will see an upward trajectory and change
the opinion a little bit on how people feel about
the MCU. And I'm not expecting Brave New World to
be the best Captain American movie or even one of
the best Marvel movies ever. But I think with it
(54:50):
not being what we kind of have expected in the
last few years and having a different tone again, will
continue that upward trajecttory leading up to a next Avengers movie.
So I think if they can make more movies grounded
in reality, with real life characters, more focused on the action,
(55:10):
and introducing some great villains like Red Hulk, which may
be confusing a little bit for some people who aren't
familiar with the comics and thinking why is the Hulk
of Villain now. But I think if there is any
real serious threat to throw into play, I think the
Red Hulk is great and gives me a little bit
of hope that we will have the return of Green Hulk.
(55:35):
Not sure if Bruce Banner would still be played by
Mark Ruffalo, but like I was saying earlier, I still
love the Edward Norton iteration. Even going back to the
two thousands Hulk, there is something still good you can
find in the mediocrity of that movie. I just think
his character hasn't been done justice. He's always kind of
been a side piece in all of the Avengers movies.
(55:58):
So I was hoping that and maybe still will get
a Bruce Banner or Wholt cameo in Dead Pull and Wolverine.
But if we don't get him, then I hope we
get him in Brave New World, coming out on February twelfth,
twenty twenty five.

Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I
am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share
with you the top ten movies I have seen the
most in my lifetime, because this week I have my
review for the new Twisters movie, which the original from
nineteen ninety six. Well, spoiler alert, it's the movie I've
seen the most, but I've talked about it a lot
in this podcast over fifty times. What else is going
(00:20):
to come on that list that I've seen a comparable
amount of times? And then in the trailer Park, we'll
be talking about the new Captain America trailer. Is this
going to be the run of movies that the MCU
needs to revive it? I don't really I think it
needs a revival. I've been here, I haven't jumped ship yet,
but this trailer has a much different tone that I
was expecting. Tease is a great villain in this movie,
(00:43):
So I'm excited for the MCU right now. Is the
rest of America? We'll get into that. Thank you for
being here, thank you for being subscribed, Shout out to
the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies
in a.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
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. A man with so much
movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with glasses.
From the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike Movie Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I've put together a list of the top ten movies
I've seen the most in my lifetime and how many
times I've seen them each. Some of these are a
rough guestimate based on the year they came out and
how many times I decided to revisit each of these
movies every single year, every single couple of years, and
we'll get into how all those things factor into this list.
Most of these are going to be around the decade
(01:40):
I was born in. I came into this world in
the beautiful year of nineteen ninety one, so obviously there
will be movies from my childhood that I obviously rewatched
again and again that make this list. And when a
movie has been out for two to three decades, obviously
I'm gonna have more time with those. The latest entry
on this list is going to be from two thousand
(02:02):
and nine, So just to give you a range of
the years of movies, we'll be looking at here. What
I feel makes a movie rewatchable for me. Obviously, it
has a lot to do with my first experience watching
these movies. If I see something as a kid that
resonates with me, and then as an adult it becomes
a very nostalgic movie. I oftentimes just rewatch those movies
(02:23):
when I need to watch something that feels very familiar,
I need to just clear my head. A lot of
these movies are that for me. There are other movies
on this list that not necessarily I sought out to
watch these as many times as I have, and it's
either through school or just being on cable all the
time back when I had cable. Those things factor in
(02:44):
as well. But the movies, at least in the top
three on this list are ones that I still go
back and revisit for a very specific reason. I also
have a bunch of honorable mentions that are right there
on the cusp of making this list and possibly overtake
some of these movies on the list. So let's get
right into it. At number ten from two thousand and eight,
(03:06):
I have The Dark Night, and depending on the time
you catch me, this could arguably be my favorite movie
of all time. I've seen it fifteen times from what
I can calculate, and I watched this movie in theaters
totally blew my mind. And when I started putting together
this list, I thought this was going to be higher
(03:27):
for me because it is one of my favorite movies
of all time, not only in the superhero genre, but
just out of any genre. But I find that I'm
a lot more specific on when I decide to rewatch
this movie. I just think I have to have a
specific reason now to go and rewatch this movie. I
think the last time I did is whenever Oppenheimer was
(03:50):
coming out and I wanted to revisit some Christopher Nolan
movies and I had to go and watch this. But
it's a movie that from the opening scene, I have
to finish it. If I see that opening scene, which
is one of my favorites, ever, it just inspires me
to go back and rewatch every single moment in that movie.
It is a hard movie to start just a little
(04:10):
bit and not finish. So I thought it would be
higher just because it's one of my favorites. But I
feel like, out of all the movies in my favorites list,
it kind of lacks a little bit of rewatchability, and
I think it's because it has a much more serious
tone that it's not one that really evokes a fun
emotion in me to sit down and watch like some
(04:32):
of the other movies on this list. So I also
have to kind of be in the right headspace to
go back and rewatch The Dark Knight, but at fifteen times,
it has made my list at number ten. At number
nine is The Original Spider Man from two thousand and
two with Toby Maguire that I've seen twenty times. This
movie was big for me as a kid, obviously, with
Spider Man being my favorite superhero at the time. When
(04:55):
I first watched this movie, it felt like such a
gift to watch because in two thousand I was nine
years old, and I remember the feeling of not really
having a superhero movie like this growing up in the nineties.
A lot of what we got was DC Batman movies,
and those early on had a more serious tone with
(05:17):
the Tim Burton movies, but then towards the end of
the nineties got very comical and a little bit cringe
worthy with performances from Arnold Swarzenegger as mister Free. So
I feel like as a whole of the country didn't
really have a grasp on what a superhero movie was.
They were still leaning more comedic, and we didn't really
(05:37):
have what we have now of more serious tone superhero movies.
I think a big influence on that was not only
the Spider Man movie, which made my list, but the
X Men movies that I feel don't get enough credit
for shifting the country's opinion on what these movies could be.
I also think when it comes to at least the
X Men movies, the reason those weren't so comic accurate
(06:00):
and the depictions of the characters that now we want
is because they had to make it a little bit
more serious and not so corny and cartoon like to
be able to appeal to more people and to show
people that we're trying to do something a little bit
different here. But I remember watching Spider Man for the
first time and kind of having the best of both worlds,
(06:23):
seeing a comic accurate suit but also with a real
storyline in it. One of the best progressions of a
superhero at the time, especially when it came to Marvel,
who was doing movies like Blade at the time. But
really they were struggling as a studio because at that
time just haven't had the success that they have now.
(06:43):
All together, every single Spider Man movie has a heavy
rewatchability for me, and it all depends the mood I'm in.
Do I want to go back and rewatch the Tom
Holland ones, Do I want to go watch the Andrew
Garfield Run, Or do I want to rewatch the animated ones?
So every year I at numb rewatching all of these movies,
(07:05):
but it all goes back to the original from two
thousand and two at number nine. Is Spider Man at
number eight, tied for about the same amount of times,
But somehow I think I've probably seen this movie more
than Spider Man from two thousand and nine. It is
The Hangover. I think I actually ended up seeing this
movie twice in theaters when it came out in two
(07:25):
thousand and nine, which was a really important year for me.
I was graduating high school, about to move from Wantsahatchie
to Austin, and over the summer it was kind of
my free for all, do whatever I want. All revolved
for me around going to the movies. So I'm pretty
sure I watched The Hangover at least twice that summer
when it came out in June of two thousand and nine.
(07:48):
And this is another one that I revisit, the Hangover franchise,
I would say at least once a year. Just this
past vacation, when Kelsey and I went to Arizona, the
Hangover two was on TV, and I started watching that
movie and then ended up coming home from that trip
and finished the rest of that which inspires me to
now want to go watch one again and want to
(08:10):
go watch three again. Hands down, one is the best
of that trilogy. But there's a special place in my
heart for each of these movies because I think they
are all funny in their own right, and now that
we're a little bit removed from them, I think if
you rewatch them now, you would appreciate them a little
bit more, because I think the complaints with these movies
when they came out one after another is that two
(08:32):
is essentially the same thing as one, because the exact
same plot happens just in a different country. And then
when they did the Hangover three, it was revisiting one
and again. There is just something about the formula of
these movies, the cast which is phenomenal, the unforgettable quotes
that we really haven't had since a movie like The
Hangover Part one in two thousand and nine, that these movies,
(08:56):
even though they're dumb, even though they're pretty much the
same movie over and over again, I love them so much.
And the first one just happens to be on TBS
all the time. And back when I had cable, i'd
be flipping through I would see The Hangover and I
would stop and rewatch it. And this is a movie,
unlike The Dark Night for me, that I could pick
(09:17):
it up at any time, it doesn't matter, and I
will sit there and watch it till the end. So
at number eight, I have The Hangover. At number seven
is another comedy from nineteen ninety five, a movie that
I've seen twenty five times. At least. It is Friday.
This is a movie that I did not get to
see in theaters because at that time I was four
years old, although I don't think it was much too
(09:39):
longer after nineteen ninety five that I watched this. Maybe
it ended up being in ninety eight or ninety nine,
when I was like seven or eight when I first
watched this movie. Obviously, it's a movie that a kid
my age at that time should not see. It's righted r.
There's a lot of bad words, no nudity in it,
some violence in it, so I don't think it is terrible.
(09:59):
I I have an older brother and an older sister
that I am seven and nine years younger than, so
I think for me, I was always exposed to things
that they were watching as teenagers that I probably shouldn't
have been watching in my age. My parents were cool
with it for the most part. I think when it
came to language they were fine with. It was just
(10:21):
words to them. I think, coming from Hispanic parents who
curse a lot pretty openly, they didn't see that as
such a big deal. They were more concerned about nudity
than language. So Friday was actually a movie. I mean,
there are some sexual themes in the movie, but it's
not anybody doing it or you're not seeing anything. It
(10:42):
is just some crude jokes in there, and I think
they were okay with it because even my mom loves Friday.
She will quote this movie at work and her younger
coworkers will crack up because they're like, how do you
know Friday? My mom knows so many lines from this movie,
and oddly it is a movie that we would watch
as a family because it was so funny. And I
think a big thing that comes into play with this
(11:05):
one and some of the other movies on this list
was having it on VHS. And we wouldn't get our
movies from Walmart or any big box store. We would
go to the flea market to get our VHS tapes
because we had a guy who sold them pretty discounted
and maybe he got them off the truck. I'd never
(11:26):
questioned it, but it was so much cheaper than buying
them from Walmart. I remember getting Friday on VHS, and
I also think our VHS guy, Yeah, we had a
VHS guy, that's what we called him. He maybe got
different versions for cheaper, because whenever we got Dumb and Dumber,
we had like the Canadian cover where they looked different.
Maybe they were bootleg I don't know. I wasn't questioning it.
(11:49):
We were broke at the time, so we weren't going
to the theater very often. We would spring for the
VHS because we got more out of it. We could
rewatch it over and over again. Friday was one we got.
Still remember the VHS tape with the blue lettering logo
the yellow cover iconic movie. I've seen it twenty five times.
(12:10):
It comes in at number seven. At number six from
two thousand and four. A movie that I've seen twenty
five plus times is National Treasure with Nicholas Cage two
thousand and four DVD was King And the reason I've
seen this movie so much is because of that. And
I was in middle school at the time, and what
(12:31):
do you do in middle school when you need to
learn about history You watch something on DVD. I have
the DVD menu of this movie remembered and burned into
my head because from two thousand and four to when
I graduated in two thousand and nine, every history teacher
I had would show this movie at some point, at
least twice a year. Sometimes I would watch this in
(12:53):
different classes. So if they could have eighty correlation between
what they were teaching us and what this movie showed,
we would be watching National Treasure. So a movie I
actually never saw in theaters, but have seen so many
times throughout my academic career that alone has landed it
on this list. But because of that, having watched it
(13:15):
so many times in middle and high school, it is
a very nostalgic movie for me. So now anytime I'm
kind of itching to relive those DVD days of Glory,
I hop over on Disney Plus and rewatch it. And
the reason I love this movie so much is because
you do learn. I learned a lot about history by
(13:35):
watching it, and for the most part, is historically accurate.
Obviously they take some liberties on exactly how the Declaration
of Independence is stored, but for the most part you're
not learning a whole lot of fake facts. They just
Hollywood up the entire story a lot, which is fun.
And Disney really doesn't make fun, grounded adventure movies like
(13:58):
this anymore that I don't have a whole lot of
special effects or big fight and action sequences, or aren't
remakes of animated movies. And I wish that they would
go back to making a National Treasure movie because they
are just, at the core just fun for everybody. You
learn a lot, which I think is something that Disney
has gotten a little bit away from. They do make
(14:18):
a really good sports inspirational drama now, which, by the way,
Young Women in the Sea is now available on Disney Plus.
The Daisy Ridley movie about Gertrude Etterly, the first woman
to ever cross the English Channel by swimming. It highly
recommend that one, which is a movie that gave me
that same type of feeling that I got the first
time I watched National Treasure, but on a different level,
(14:40):
but kind of in that same category of historical drama,
even though National Treasure isn't based on a true story whatsoever.
But I feel like for a period of time in
the two thousands, that was Disney's bread and butter. If
you go back and look at their best sports dramas,
like remember the Titans, they all came out in the
two thousands, So maybe this could be a revival in that.
(15:02):
Maybe eventually we do get another National Treasure movie, which
they did make a sequel. They did do the series
on Disney plus that did get canceled, But we really
need Nicholas Cage back to make it work. Maybe coming
off Long Legs, he wants to do something a little
bit more family friendly. I would love to see it.
It comes in my list at number six, National Treasure
(15:22):
with twenty five times getting into the top five, staying
in the Disney category, but moving down to Pixar at
number five. Having seen it thirty times from two thousand
and three is Finding Nemo. And the reason these are
back to back is again the watching them in school factor.
Not only do I have Finding Nemo memorized in English,
(15:45):
but I also have it memorized in Spanish because I
watched this movie probably three or four times a year
after it came out in two thousand and three. Because
not only would we watch it in just like English
class or just anytime we had movie day in high school,
we would watch it in Spanish class to learn Spanish,
(16:06):
which was kind of a cheat code that my Spanish
teacher had at the time in high school, because he
would throw it on, change the language, change the subtitles,
and force us to write down lines that we remembered
from the movie and translate it, and supposed to be
quizzing us on it, although I don't think he ever did.
But out of it, we were able to watch it
(16:27):
Pixar movie, and for me, because I was bilingual, I
knew how to speak and write Spanish, it didn't really
make much a difference.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
To me.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I could understand it all the same. Other people probably
hated it because they couldn't understand what they were saying.
But I think I've never really had a problem watching
anything in Spanish and being able to take it in.
Kind of funny how your brain works that way. But
for that reason, this movie also makes my list, and
because I watched it in multiple places in different classes,
(16:57):
probably more so than National Treasure. It is also a
movie that I will go back and revisit. Not too
often anymore, but whenever I'm doing a deep dive into
my favorite Pixar movies, I go back and watch Finding Nemo.
Having seen it thirty times, it makes it at number five.
At number four. One of my favorite music movies of
(17:18):
all time, probably at number one would be I was
making that list, it is La Bamba, which came out
in nineteen eighty seven. I've seen it at least thirty
five times. This one probably goes back to it not
only being one of my favorite movies, but one of
my favorite movies as a family to watch, because how
many movies do we have about Mexican American characters, and
(17:42):
in this case being based on a real life person,
Richie Allens, who was only seventeen years old when he died.
But not only that, his career was only months long,
less than a year from when he got a record
deal to the height of his fame to ultimately his
death all happened within a year, which is mind blowing
to me. And this is a movie that is really
(18:05):
not only mine, but a lot of people's really only
tangible evidence of his life because with his career all
being in the fifties, he died on February third, nineteen
fifty nine. There really isn't a whole lot of video
footage that you can go back and watch performances of
There are a handful on YouTube, but I think for
the most part, we all have the image of lou
(18:28):
Diamond Phillips in this movie more so than we do
the actual Richie Valens, and that is a powerful thing.
And I'm glad this movie exists because otherwise he could
have been a person in history that we would have
forgotten about a little bit. We would have had the music, obviously,
but having this movie and depiction of him and the
(18:48):
telling of his entire life and his career, this film
was able to immortalize his story and immortalize his music.
So I think that is a powerful thing. And again,
going back to the Mexican American care characters and real
life figures. We don't really have a whole lot of
these movies. We have La Bamba, we have Celina, and
those were kind of our bible of movies with characters
(19:11):
that look like us growing up. And again another movie
I had on VHS that anytime we really couldn't decide
as a family on what to watch, we would just
throw on LaBamba. It is another one that there are
countless quotes, there are countless moments and gestures, and the
ending that all had us gutted collectively. That memory still
(19:31):
lives ingrained in my mind. Bob shouting Richie at the
top of his lungs with that slide guitar playing underneath them. Oh,
what a crushing movie moment, What a great film. At
number four is La Bamba at number three from nineteen
ninety four. It is the Lion King that I've seen
over forty times. This is the original animated movie and
(19:54):
could quite possibly be the first movie I ever saw
in theaters, although I have no recollect it because I
was three years old at the time. Maybe maybe not
my parents should have even taken me along to the
theater to watch this movie. But the story I really
know from that because I don't recall anything from being
three years old, but I remember everybody's saying that my
(20:14):
dad fell asleep watching this movie in theaters, which is
kind of a thing to do every now and then
as a family when we would go watch a movie
in theaters. My dad would get a drink, get some popcorn,
and as soon as he was done eating, he was
out snoring through the rest of the movie. So maybe
he made it up to win Mufasa dies. Maybe so
(20:37):
I remember nothing of this, but that is a trait
that he has continued even till now. I think probably
in the last five years, we've convinced him to go
back to the theater, but still hasn't finished a movie.
He still has that calling card of falling to sleep
right after he's done eating. So I was a little
bit too young to remember seeing this in theaters, although
I was there, so I can say I saw The
(20:58):
Lion King in theaters at three years old. But as
soon as this movie hit VHS, I feel like I
drove my parents insane over how many times I watched
this movie. It just existed in our VCR, and I
remember those old school Disney VHS tapes that had that
big plastic casing, just hearing those things pop open, being
(21:21):
able to pull out the little insert and read that.
Just the feeling of having a tangible thing that you're
watching just helps you remember it so much more. But
I remember popping open those VHS cartridges and throwing that
VHS in is something that we're not going to have
anymore because now we just open up Netflix and click
play and that is it. But I would say just
(21:42):
throughout the nineties alone, I probably watched this movie thirty
to thirty five times, and since then I don't revisit
it that often. And I think the five times out
of the nineties that I probably rewatched this movie, we're
leading up to the live action movie in twenty nineteen,
so I could have a grasp on it. And there've
(22:02):
also been a couple of times this year being one
of them, that they've celebrated some anniversary in theaters and
I've actually gone to rewatch it in theaters. It is
a classic. I'm not sure now with how many great
movies that have entered my top ten of all time recently,
that it would still make my top ten, but for
sure top twenty, if not top fifteen, because it is
(22:25):
a Classic from nineteen ninety four at number three. Is
The Lion King with forty times on my watch count
at number two from nineteen ninety one, having seen it
at least forty five times. Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Secret of the Ooz so not the original part two
that came after the original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja
(22:46):
Turtles movie. And I think the reason I've seen this
one more is because it was my favorite growing up,
And I think because as a kid, I was drawn
more to the comedic tone of the Ninja Turtles in
this movie, so more so than the first one, which
I feel has a much more serious tone at times
doesn't even feel like a kid's movie. This one was
a little bit more cartoony. The overall tone and colors
(23:10):
were a little bit more bright. The Ninja Turtles themselves
were more comedic, and they didn't really use their weapons
so much in this one. They would find different things
like sausages or mustard or other ways to defeat the villains.
In this movie, even the villains Toka and Raizar are
much more comedic. Shredder looks a little bit more comic
(23:30):
book cartoon accurate, and then you have Vanella eyes, so
I feel overall this was a more fan favorite at
the time, but now looking back on these movies as
an adult, I lean way more towards Part one and
have rewatched that one more in the last five years.
Then I have Secret of the Us because now I
(23:51):
can appreciate the grid of that movie, the emotion of
that movie. So I think over time now part one
will catch up in total rewatch a well. For right
now TMNT, Secret of the US is at number two,
and of course at number one, having seen it now
at least fifty one times. I got a little fuzzy
after I watched it for the fiftieth time, but we
(24:13):
did just rewatch it again anticipation for this week's Twisters.
It is Twitter from nineteen ninety six. A friend of
mine just told me they had never seen this movie,
but saw me talking about it so much they decided
to watch it for the first time and completely loved it.
My friend was on a flight and actually had some
turbulence during the tornado scene at the drive in theater
(24:33):
and felt like he was in the movie, which is
a similar feeling I've seen a lot of people experience
watching the new one. In forty X where you have
the wind spitted Natcha. Some people says it feels like
they've been in a car wreck after watching it in
forty X. So I feel like the old me would
be surprised that somebody had never seen this movie. But
I think now I'm starting to understand more that there
(24:55):
are so many things to watch when it comes to
TV shows and movies that I'm not as shocked now
when people say they haven't seen classics. I will always
encourage you to go check out some of the classics
that are my favorites. But I'll never be mad at
you for not seeing a movie that I love and
have seen as many times as Twister. I did ask
you guys on social media some of the movies that
(25:17):
you have seen the most. Tanya Horton said Finding Nemo
every day for fourteen years. Her sixteen year old has autism,
and they able to watch it at least once a
day when he was with her. I love that there
was a movie that you bonded over and Finding Nemo
also making my list. This comment resonated with me, and
there is something comforting about a really well made animated movie.
(25:39):
It also looks like your watch Cout definitely has me
beat on that one. Mark Stutsman said Galaxy Quest. I
saw it six times in theaters and at least fifteen
to twenty times since then. Galaxy Quest isn't really a
movie that I would anticipate somebody seeing not only that
many times outside of the theater, but seeing any movie
(26:00):
in theaters for six times is an impressive feat. The
most I've seen a movie in theaters is probably three times,
and that has to be if I saw a movie
twice when it came out during its first run and
then it comes back out as a re release. Very
few times that that has happened. I pretty much max
out at two, and that is usually when I go
(26:22):
watch a movie and then have to go take my
mom to watch it because I know she would love it.
So an impressive total count for you there, Mark, But
I think what is even more impressive is seeing one
movie in theaters six times. And Caro on Facebook also
said Titanic, which is one I've probably seen without even
trying a pretty good amount of times, maybe right under ten,
(26:44):
because that is a long movie, that is a three
hour movie. I wouldn't count the times that I've seen
that movie impartially because it is a movie that get
shown on TV a lot, but I would always catch
it at different random times and have probably collectively added
up to one or two times total. But there are
some movies like that that I have seen a good
amount of times without even trying. I would also put
(27:06):
Mean Girls in that category. Shrek and the Wizard of Oz,
which is a movie I just revisit from time and
time again because I'm so infatuated with how that movie
was made and how it probably blew everybody's mind back
in the thirties. Other movies that almost made the list
were Avengers Infinity War that are probably seen eight to
ten times at the most, but that is another longer
(27:29):
movie and also one that has come out fairly recently,
so obviously haven't had as much time to rewatch that one.
Heavyweights is also on my list Billy Madison, Dumb and Dummer,
which I think comedies just have a great rewatchability, and
they're often movies, at least from the nineties that I
didn't necessarily see in theaters but have seen so many
times again on VHS, DVD and rewatching those a lot
(27:52):
on cable. Another one that almost made my list was
the original Willy Wonka was probably my favorite movie as
a kid, non animated, and most recently, Detective Peak at
You has really been creeping up in my total watch
count because for some reason it's always available on every
Southwest or any flight I take. It's an inflying movie,
(28:14):
so even if I don't finish it on the plane,
I'll end up coming home and rewatching it on Hulu
or Netflix, whoever has it at the time. And even
though it wasn't exactly the Pokemon movie I wanted back
when it came out, it's the best we have so far.
Still hoping we get another installment fairly soon. So that
is the list. A little bit from what you guys
said on social media. If you want to share the
(28:36):
movie with me that you've seen the most, just go
comment on my Facebook or x You can find all
the links to that in the episode notes of this podcast.
Well come back and I'll give my spoiler free review
of a movie I've been waiting for for so long, Twisters.
If you feel it, chase it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I wasn't country.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
How would you do it? You do it?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh no, I'm not doing it?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Do it? You were just doing it? Before we starry recordable.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
No no, no, if you feel it, chase it. There
we go.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, better, all right, we're here to review Twisters. Obviously,
we've talked about this movie in depth of how much
we were both anticipating it. We saw it in IMAX,
and I'll just say at the start of this review,
this is a movie you have to see in theaters.
If you have an IMAX around you. It's the way
to see it, I think. And I got to DM
(29:28):
somebody asking me if you need to see it in
forty X. I've heard some conflicting things about that.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Heard it feels like you're in a car accident.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I think if there's one movie that you had to
watch in the forty X, I don't really recommend it
because I don't really think that experience adds to me
enjoying the movie anymore. I've never benefited from watching a
movie in three D. But they have the wind, they
have the water, they have all the things that I feel.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It sounds miserable though it does. I don't want to
be like cold and wet during a movie.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But if you're into it, this would be the movie
for that because you get to utilize all those things
that they offer, but I just wouldn't recommend it because
I've never had the best experience with it. While we
were watching this movie, somebody like kicked the back of
our seat and I was like, hey, we got the
forty X.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I heard that it's really about if you get motion
sick easily, which I do.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I think it would be fine for maybe ten fifteen minutes,
but for the entire almost two hour movie, I don't
know that I could do it. And it's also a
little bit expensive. So unless you are just die hard
into wanting thrills and feeling like you're on a roller coaster,
I think just seeing it in Imax is enough if
you have one. If not, I think just the biggest
(30:38):
screen you can find, because this movie utilizes every inch
of the screen. And we're only going to talk briefly
about what the movie is about, because I feel like
not knowing much about the plot is a lot better
going into this movie, I would agree. So it's essentially
Daisy Edgar Jones' character was a storm chaser. Something tragic
(31:02):
happens in her life and she leaves storm chasing behind.
She moves to New York City and just starts working
at like a place where they I mean they still
work in weather and predict things.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I think she probably works like the National weather S.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, I think it's a place. I think that's what.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I think that's at a place where they do the leather.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
They don't really say, I don't really say like, oh,
this is their job. I think I did see it
like on a laptop or something, their logo. But she
goes there and then she gets sucked back into storm chasing.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Good.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Good, I'm gonna keep using those throughout the review.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Great.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And then Glenn Powell is like the charming but kind
of a villain type guy who has a YouTube channel.
He's like a hardcorese tornado wrangler.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah, not a storm chaser tornado.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So then Wrangler they start they kind of cross past,
start butting heads, and that's kind of where the story unfolds.
Can they coexist? Can they you under together? They work together,
and they're essentially unlike in the first one, instead of
trying to throw all the sensors into it, they're kind
of past that and they're trying to find a way
(32:11):
to just eliminate.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Tornadoes, disrupt the tornado.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Shut it down. I will say that as somebody who
loved the original. Obviously, I am glad that they didn't
try to remake the original story. It is a standalone sequel.
The only real references you get to the original is
in the opening scene you see Dorothy. They still have
it around, and the only other nods to the original
(32:38):
I would say Daisy Edgar Jones. Her wardrobe at times
looks very much like Joe, like the white tank top
and the khakis. Kind of a small little probably o
to Ellen Hunt. And then Bill Paxson's son does make
a cameo. If you watch it, there's a scene with
an angry hotel customer and that's his son. Aside from that,
(33:00):
there's no references to any past characters. And I guess
since it takes place in Oklahoma, that's the other thing
tying this one to the original, and I'm glad that
they did that. The entire dynamics are different. There's not
any moment that they try to replicate anything from the
original or think, hey, hey, remember that.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
There's no callbacks yes.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Which I always find annoying because I want something to
stand on its own. Being almost thirty years after the original,
I think if we went into it and got a
lot of the same it wouldn't have worked, So I
enjoyed that aspect of it. And not only did it
have just some great just visuals, one of the best
openings in a movie I've seen all year.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
I was shocked by the opening, Like I looked over
you and I was like, why isn't he expressing emotion?
Turns out you were just also shocked in your hart
was racing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
And I don't really have that happen to me in
movies anymore, where I would just glued into that opening sequence.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
My jaw dropped.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
There was so many just like twist and turns and
just that opening sequence. There's another one, but I loved it,
and I was kind of like going into it, like, oh,
this is gonna be good. What's the tone gonna be like?
And it came to play in the opening sequence.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
There were people that walked in like ten minutes late,
and I'm like, you just missed the best opening sequence.
And then they tried to sit in like four different
areas of the theater and I was like, I was
very confused by it. I was like, you missed a
great opening.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They have meant to the movie since ninety six apparently,
but I love the opening sequence and then once the
story starts to unfold and you see their dynamic work together.
What I started to notice is this one didn't focus
so much on the team's chemistry. I feel like it
was Daisy Edgar Jones and Glenn Powell and their chemistry
(34:48):
which was which was fantastical, But this one really just
highlights their story, their romance there well they won't they
their entire working together relationship, and it didn't have that
same overall team dynamic which I thought the first one
was about, like the bonding of the team with the
storm Chasers.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I would kind of disagree, okay why I would say
there was still team dynamic, but it was more about
like the other team, the one like Anthony Ramos's team
that she kind of worked with, and it was about
their dynamic and like what they were doing. So I
still think there was team dynamic, but it was a
different dynamic this time not involving There was still dynamic,
(35:29):
maybe it was secondary to the rest of the plot,
but there was still good dynamic team dynamic.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, I just feel like in the first one, like
that is what the whole story is about. Like them
all bonding together all the now cast, the characters like
Rabbit and Dusty.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But it's also about Helena Hunt and Bill Paxton not
getting divorced and then him bringing along his new fiance.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, that's kind of the by the way, Melissa got
robbed in the first one, Like she did nothing wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
She did nothing wrong, but you are like meant to
hate her because you want Joe.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I don't remember hating or well, maybe it's the.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Movie Bill, it's Bill. Okay. I was like, okay, yeah,
Joe and Bill. You want them to be together because
all she does is.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Tag along for him to get the divorce papers signed, and.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
She ends up on getting flipped around, almost dies.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
There's howls, he's into it, and then that scene at
the motel wherever. She's like, hey, I'm I'm leaving, I'm
not coming back. I feel bad for her.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Yeah, we were Listen, Hollywood loves to meat. The woman
is the villain.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I don't think he was. I mean I think if
anybody it's kind of Bill, like, oh, it's like you're
back with your new fiance.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And your current wife who you're still din divorced.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
From, technically fall back in love with her and then leave.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, he's he's the bad guy in that one, but we.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Don't have that kind of flood in this one. I guess.
I'm glad though that they didn't have that same dynamic
or try to replicate it, because it made it feel
a little bit fresh.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, it wasn't like we said, it wasn't a remake.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
The only other thing that I thought was a little
bit weird, Like I think the tornadoes themselves looked a
lot better.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
The like tech advancements and like the CGI and stuff.
The tornadoes were cool.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
And I think also because we saw it in IMAX,
I felt like we were right there in it. Maybe
it was also like the cinematography that had like a
more emphasis like on going into it. I think all
the shots were just really great, even like when they
used the drones and the go pros. I was curious
to see how that was going to mix together, because
I think overall it looked good.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
It was so realistic. There was one scene where I
was squeezing your hand so hard because I was so
anxious because the storms looked so real.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
The storms did. There was some questionable CGI. I felt
like with some of the windmills, it still looked almost
like video game graphics.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I have nothing bad to say about this film. I
already want to go see it again. I actually, well,
they asked you if you wanted to go see it
again today, It's true a little too soon.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
These are my odd critiques. The other one I had
was I feel like the dialogue wasn't as memorable because
the first one is so quotable. There's so many moments
that just live with me over the years. I don't
really feel like there was that moment, and maybe if
they were fishing for it it would feel a little
bit forced. There were a couple of funny moments I
felt more so on the Glenn Powell side, but I
(38:10):
don't think there was those big memorable quotes that I
was expecting and one of the biggest reasons that I
love Twister. Those are my odd critiques. What were some
of your other favorite parts of it?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I love Daisy Edgar Jones. I thought she was so
good in it, and it's like the first big I
feel like Action disaster Blockbuster we've seen her in and
I think it's just the start for her. I thought
it was great. I'm glad that it did well at
the box office.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, it opened to eighty point five million dollars in
the United States. It cost about two hundred million dollars
to make. Had the biggest weekend opening ever for a
disaster film, which is awesome. Like you and I are
our favorite category. We love disaster films and people.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
I don't want to be in one, but I love
to watch the film.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I feel like in critically acclaim there usually are not
even at the box office. Sometimes they flop and they're
like straight to cable.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
There was no flopping like in the forecast for this.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
It also had the second biggest opening for a live
action movie from this year, and right now it is
the third biggest opening weekend only behind Inside Out and
Dune Part two. So I think overall it's gonna do
really well in the run at the theater. I think
it came out at a good time, coming out after
Minions and before Dead pulling Wolverine. But I think people
are going to continue to see it. How'd you feel
(39:26):
about Glenn Powell.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Putting me on the spot here? I thought he was
great in it. They gave the audience what they wanted.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
They gave me what I wanted, Like my ovaries were tingling.
By watching this, I almost felt like Glenn Powell was
too good looking in some of the scenes, the white
T shirt and I seeing that in the trailer, but
even seeing it on the big screen in Imax, I
was like, man, now that is the scene. That is
your trailer, that is your movie poster. I mean, he's
already on the trajectory of being the next big movie star.
(39:54):
He's like part Matthew McConaughey, part Tom Cruise, and I
think this movie kind of slid him and he's on
a great run right now from anyone but you hit
Man on Netflix and now Twisters. I think he's gonna
be undeniable.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
He also just I feel like he seems really genuine,
Like his parents make a cameo in every movie. His
parents are like always going to like press with him.
He brings his dog. What did I ask you the
other day? I was like, do you feel secure enough
in our marriage to be fine with the fact that
I'm drooling over Gunpound? You were like yeah, whatever. It
was like great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Whatever gets people back into the theater, That's all I
care about. We need a movie start like him. So overall,
what would you rate Twisters?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Five out of five tornadoes, ten out of ten tornadoes.
I mean, I know that's the same that's taking it
too a higher scale. I mean it's perfect. I truly
am kind of mad that you don't want to go
see it again today, But it's fine. We'll take that
off her.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Well, watch it eventually again in theaters. I would give
it a strong four point five out of five cowboy
hats or even Texas hats that I'm wearing right now.
And I think it's because the original for me is
a five out of five. It's never gonna move out
of that slot. This one came very close. I think
it comes down to rewatchability, and I would rewatch this
(41:07):
movie right now. I don't know if it's gonna have
that same effect that I'm gonna rewatch it as many
times as I have the original.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
This is I said it on the way home last night.
This is my new Step Up. And I've told that
story about where I watched Step Up every day for
a month. This is. I will be watching Twisters two
every day when it comes out on streaming.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
But here's how I feel different after watching the original
and watching this one. I would rather have a sequel
now to this one than I would rewatch it again
fifty times, and I think they're gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
You think there's gonna be another one?
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I think so. It's made really good money. I think,
depending on how it does for the rest of its run.
I think it's kind of hard not to do a
sequel at this point with if you have the success,
if you still have the cast, them all them really
being like their biggest movie right now for everybody, I
(41:57):
feel like it's gonna be hard to deny doing another one.
My mind, I'm all in for it. I think it
was a great theater experience because full theater, big action.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Yeah, I was like one of the I feel like
that was the first one this year that we've seen
that's been like the full theater sold out. It was quiet,
there was no disruptions, like no one was talking, no
one was on their phone. It was that's like the
perfect movie atmosphere when everyone is so excited for something.
I love that. I love that. It's the word I'm
(42:29):
looking for, Terie. Yes, thank you. I was like community
now starts with the category.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Yes, if you haven't seen it yet, highly recommend it.
If it wouldn't have been for the original. I'd have
given it a perfect score, but just having that one
in my heart, I just can't give it that.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I give them both the five.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
But it's phenomenal, A big win for disaster movies.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Make more like that, Make more disaster movies like that.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Justice for disaster movies.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Justice for disaster films. I am such a weather nerd too.
Like I also liked I feel like they talked a
little bit more about like they did the tornado itself.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
They also like debunk some tornado miss.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
That was interesting to me because I love leather. Like
anytime there's a hurricane, you come home and I'm watching
like the Weather channel while I work. It just is
an odd fascination to me that I love understanding weather,
like following the weather. I love following like when the
thunderstorm's developing, and I kind of wish I was like
Kate in this movie. She's just like looks at the
(43:28):
sky and she's like tornado developing over there.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, that is the way that she also kind of
emulated Bill Paxton in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
She knows just by like a natural instincts.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, she has like that gift, and they all want
to follow her.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
They did bring I feel like the tornadoes into scarier areas.
I don't want to give any spoilers, but it wasn't
just like tornadoes and like the wide open fields, like
there were some more like she don't really want a
tornado to hit there. Yeah, there was a lot more destruction.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
More casualties, which was also like, yeah, they're going for it.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
I watched a behind the scenes clip of them filming
one of them, and I was like, they used this
like huge high powered fan to like emulate it, and
that was kind of funny watching them all get blown around.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Well, there we go, there's a review. It's time to
head down to movie Mike. Trailer paus the new Captain
America movie looks way better than I was anticipating. Captain
America Brave New World coming out February twelve, twenty twenty five,
so we don't really have a whole lot of time
(44:34):
to wait until this one. And after watching this trailer
for me, February can't come soon enough. So Anthony Mackie
is finally getting his own solo Captain America movie. We
did get the Falcon in the Winter Soldier Disney Plus show.
That was a little bit lackluster. That TV show probably
(44:56):
should have been a movie, but even then didn't really
move the along, So we really haven't had a chance
to see Anthony Mackie really take over this role. But
now in this trailer we see it all in its
full red, white and blue glory. The wings look fantastic,
the action looks really stellar. But I think for me
(45:18):
the thing that was most unexpected about this trailer was
the tone. It looks completely different than anything we've seen
from Marvel, I would say in the last five years,
because we're getting away from anything cosmic, anything too overly comedic,
which is something they really leaned into a little bit
(45:38):
too much. That all the Marvel movies have to be
fun and lighthearted and for everybody, this is going back
to the days of the early MCU Captain America movies
like Civil War The Winners Soldier that were really just
straight ahead action, which is what the core integrity of
the MCU was back in the day. Maybe you have
(46:00):
missed it, didn't watch it. Back in twenty nineteen, Avengers
Endgame came out. Maybe you've heard of it, But in
that movie, Chris Evans character Steve Rodgers Captain America goes
back to spend time with Peggy Carter and then gives
up being Captain America gives his vibranium shield to Sam
Wilson played by Anthony Mackie, who's to take over the
role of Captain America. We have some new people in
(46:22):
this movie, like Harrison Ford taking over as Thunderbolt Ross.
In this movie, his character is running for president and
one of his positions is that he wants to make
Captain America an official military position. So before we get
into more about what this movie is about why I
think it's actually going to be really good, here's just
a little bit of the Brave New World trailer. I
(46:44):
have to admit I'm still getting used to the new look.
He said to the must lose the election. You and
I I haven't always agreed in the past, but I
want to make another run at making Captain America an
official military position.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
And if we disagree on how to manage this situation,
then what happens.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
You may be Captain America, but you're not Steve Rogers.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
You're right, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
And that statement there, spoken by Harrison Ford is how
I felt before this trailer that Anthony Mackie ask, Captain
America can never live up to what Chris Evans did
with that character, and Captain America hasn't even been my
favorite character in the MCU. I often thought he's a
little bit vanilla. I don't really like my superheroes to
(47:37):
be boy scouts, to be so predictable and just like
all about doing the right thing. I like my superheroes
to be a little bit flawed, to have more of
just human qualities. That's why Spider Man has been my favorite.
He has a lot more personal conflict going on that
goes into play on how he approaches being a superhero.
(47:57):
Sometimes he doesn't always do the right thing. Captain America.
At the other hand, Steve Rodgers is always doing the
right thing and noble and all American super soldier, which
he is great for. I think he shined more an
Infinity War an Endgame than I ever loved him in
any of the solo movies, really, but it was really
Infinity War and then Endgame War. I really grew to
(48:19):
love him, and at the height of loving him, Chris
Evans decided, well, probably because it went along with everything
going on, that he is not going to be Captain
America and passed it on to Anthony Mackie slash Sam Wilson,
and I thought in my head that, well, he's not
really gonna cut it. It's not really good to be
the same because a lot of what made Captain America
(48:41):
great was Chris Evans' performance. But now seeing this trailer
and seeing them address that just a little bit and
seeing how this is going to feel like his real
introduction into being the character, I'm excited for it. I
think the action in this movie looks slick. All suit
design is growing on me. I think the thing that
(49:03):
I've had trouble with when it comes to Falcon is
that he doesn't really have any super ability. Because Captain
America has the super serum makes them fast, which makes
them strong, which makes him the super soldier that he is.
And Anthony McKee's character was really only trained by Chris
Evans in the movie, so he does have that. He
also has the same military background, but when it comes
(49:26):
to his superhero abilities, he relies on the fact that
he has the wings, which were made with Wakandan technology,
so the Black Panther designed his wings. They're detachable, they
can fly, they can glide with them. But I always
just felt he was a little bit vulnerable, even though
Iron Man is kind of along the same lines of
(49:46):
being the same thing. I just feel like that technology
is a lot more advanced and this Captain America is
a little bit more exposed to the real big threats.
You know, he has the goggles with the infrared vision
and the sight enhancement. Obviously, he has the fighting skills
from being in the US Armed Forces. And the other
thing he had in the comic books that they really
(50:08):
haven't showcased in the movies or the TV show yet
is that he has a telepathic bond with birds. So
maybe that'll come into play here, or maybe they'll lean
away from that because they'll make them look a little
bit like ant Man, which a lot of people find
that a little bit cheeseball, So I am curious to
see how they address that, or at least how that
plays into him defeating the villain in this movie, which
(50:31):
y'all addressed in a bit. But before that, the other
thing that really stood out to me as looking and
working pretty well at least in this trailer is Harrison
Ford taking over as Thunderbolt. Ross William Hurt played the
character before first in the Incredible Hulk movie from two
thousand and eight, which I really enjoyed. I would say
is one of the best movies in the MCU in
(50:51):
that first phase, even though everybody has collectively just not
loved any of the solo Incredible Hulk movies. But he's
just one of my favorite common characters of all time
that I just have these rose colored glasses when I
go watch those movies. But William Hurt was Thunderbolt Ross
in that movie. He did pass away in twenty twenty two,
but Harrison Ford in the role works really well. Even
(51:14):
at eighty two years old, still find him really believable.
And hey goes right together right now with the people
running for president, so his character is trying to run
for president. Obviously in Civil War they butted heads because
they did not see things the same way with how
he was trying to control the superheroes, so it looks
like those tensions are going to arise again. We see
(51:37):
somebody trying to take out Harrison Ford in the middle
of this trailer by shattering some bulletproof glass, so at
some point they will be against each other, and Thunderbolt
Ross in the comics turns into the villain known as
Red Hulk. Not sure he's going to have the same
origin story, but in the comics he was exposed to
(51:58):
gamma radiation, much like the Orige Incredible Hulk, but the
Red Hulk is bigger, stronger, faster, His skin is obviously
red and has the ability to get fire red hot
and burst into flames. So he is a force to
be reckoned with. And I know there was speculation about
Red Hulk being teased in this trailer, and I was
(52:19):
still surprised to see it. I love the poster for
this movie, which is Captain America's shield being held by
the big Red Hand, which is just a fantastic poster,
one of the better ones that they have done. I
hope that that is the lead one they used to
promote this movie and we get away from the floating
head redundancy, because just that image alone really shows you
(52:41):
the story of this movie. So with the Red Hulk's introduction,
they could be teeing that up for the Thunderbolts movie,
which will probably still come out after this, although I
really hope the MCU gets away from doing that of
tying together all the movies teasing. Getting the post credits
scene means I think that era is over, and I
(53:04):
think by getting away from that and just making solid
standalone stories, let them be trilogies. That is fine. They
could make three Captain America movies with Anthony McGee's story beginning, middle,
and inn in those three part I think is how
they need to do it. And obviously they're going to
build to another Avengers movies, which it looks like the
(53:25):
Russo brothers will be directing Avengers five and they have
to be building and the synergy all the ways that
they have reached the level they have now. I just
think that formula has kind of exhausted itself and they
should take a break from it. They should just focus
on just making great action movies like some of the classics,
(53:45):
and I think this movie, after seeing this trailer, has
the potential for that. You also have John Carlo Esposito,
who you put them in any movie as a villain
and he just makes it better. It hasn't really been
solidified on what role he is playing in this movie,
but as the dark shades, you know he's playing a
bad guy and he just elevates every movie because he
is such a great and convincing villain going all the
(54:08):
way back to his days and breaking bad. So if
I had to look and predict the trajectory of the MCU,
I would say it's about it be on the rise.
With Deadpool and Wolverine coming out this week, I think
that movie is going to crush it at the box office.
It's gonna be the next billion dollar movie of the year,
and that will win back some people. If that movie
(54:29):
is good in its first week inspires other people to
see it, we will see an upward trajectory and change
the opinion a little bit on how people feel about
the MCU. And I'm not expecting Brave New World to
be the best Captain American movie or even one of
the best Marvel movies ever. But I think with it
(54:50):
not being what we kind of have expected in the
last few years and having a different tone again, will
continue that upward trajecttory leading up to a next Avengers movie.
So I think if they can make more movies grounded
in reality, with real life characters, more focused on the action,
(55:10):
and introducing some great villains like Red Hulk, which may
be confusing a little bit for some people who aren't
familiar with the comics and thinking why is the Hulk
of Villain now. But I think if there is any
real serious threat to throw into play, I think the
Red Hulk is great and gives me a little bit
of hope that we will have the return of Green Hulk.
(55:35):
Not sure if Bruce Banner would still be played by
Mark Ruffalo, but like I was saying earlier, I still
love the Edward Norton iteration. Even going back to the
two thousands Hulk, there is something still good you can
find in the mediocrity of that movie. I just think
his character hasn't been done justice. He's always kind of
been a side piece in all of the Avengers movies.
(55:58):
So I was hoping that and maybe still will get
a Bruce Banner or Wholt cameo in Dead Pull and Wolverine.
But if we don't get him, then I hope we
get him in Brave New World, coming out on February twelfth,
twenty twenty five.
