Rating When Films Say the 'Title of the Movie' in the Movie! + Review: Don’t Worry Darling + Trailer Park: Knock at the Cabin

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast, or welcome to Movie Mix Movie Podcast if you are a new listener. I am your host movie Mike, and today I want to talk about one of my favorite movie tropes of all time when movies say the title of the movie in the movie. We'll get into that topic in the movie review. My wife Kelsey will join me to talk about Don't Worry Darling and all the drama surrounding that movie. Did it live up to expectations? And then in the trailer park, a new m Night Shamalan movie is coming out called Knock at the Cabin. I have some aspirations for this next movie after watching this trailer, so all that coming up for you on this week's episode. Thanks for being subscribed, Thanks for rating this podcast five stars and writing a review on Apple Podcast. Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies. In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking at m D. Who's class From the Nashville Podcast Network. Movie Podcast if you ever go and watch a movie with me, here are a few things you can expect. If we go to the theater. I have a very specific seat I like to sit in. Has to be dead center. I like to go that first row in that upper section. If that seat is not available, I'll go one row back. But that is what I considered to be the prime seat for movie watching in the theater. If we watch a movie at home, I will definitely at some point pull out IMDb when there is an actor and I'm trying to figure out what other movies or TV shows they've been in. And the third thing is if a character ever says the title of the movie in the movie, you better believe I'm gonna be so annoying about it and pointed out every single time. It has been my favorite thing for years now. And the origin of this is I remember watching an episode of Family Guy where Peter Griffin points out that this is one of his favorite feelings in the world. This is from an episode back in two thousand and nine. Boy, I usually only get this excited when they say the title of a movie. In the movie. I'm telling you, these drug gaylords represent uck clear and present things are got sights. He said it. He said it, and I think ever since I saw that episode, it's stuck with me and I try to find it in every single movie I watched. Some movies are harder than others, especially really hard in any movie with a the in the title. But I think one of those did make this list that I came up with, and it's nearly impossible to do in a sequel. What I have put together is I pulled a lot of clips from movies where they say the title, and we're going to rank them based on how good a job they did to incorporate the title in the movie, how hype that moment got me, And we'll also consider just the movie in general and if it's a good movie or not. So. Kicking off the list, let's start with a couple Robin Williams movies. Let's start it off strong with good Morning Vietnam, one of his best lines in a movie ever. Here's Robin Williams from seven Good Money. I think a great use of this in this case is that is something that everybody remembers from that movie, of course, because it's the title of the movie. As we see with all of these in the list, but also because it's something you want to try and do yourself. So that's a very memorable line, a very great delivery from a very talented actor. So if I had to write that one, I'm giving it a five out of five. Moving on now to another Robin Williams movie from nineteen, Jumanji, and he lost with oh it's Jumanji, and this is what this entire movie is leading up to, because how do you win the game Jumanji. You have to finish and you have to say the words Jumanji for the game to end. And finally, in this scene of the movie from nine, Robin Williams character only completes the game and is able to send everything back to the way it was before. Jumanji was one of my favorite movies as a kid, as it brought to life all of my wildest dreams I've ever playing a board game, and I remember watching this movie so much, and even hearing that clip back now as an adult gives me that feeling again. So Dreumanji, I give that one another five out of five. Let's stay in the nineties, but go way back to the beginning of the decade from here's the one from Home Alone with the kids there the parents gotta be I said it in there, Home Alone a Christmas classic. But is that use of the title of the movie really that great? I would say not really. It feels a little bit forced in there, and almost feels like they included this scene just so they could put it in the trailer to set up what Home Alone is all about. I don't think you need to here. I think it doesn't provide much to the excitement. It's not very memorable, So this one doesn't have a lot of lasting power. So I'm going to have to give Home Alone a one out of five. How about dude, where's my Car? From two thousands? Where's my car? Where's your car? Dude? See where's my car? Where's your car? Dude? Dude, where's my car? Where's your car? Dude? As stupid as this movie is, as pointless as it is, this establishes the theme for the entire movie, says the title at the very beginning, and the entire movie is literally just them trying to find his car. And it's a great bit that you think would get annoying and probably to sell him the whole movie is kind of annoying, But they use these kind of comedic elements throughout the entire film. Again, calling do Where's My car of film feels a little bit weird, but I feel like this one has some pretty good sustainability. I have found myself time after time if I'm in a situation where I'm at like a parking garage and I can't find my car, I say, dude, where's my car? Where's your car? Dude? So the comedic level is there. It's very memorable. The movie itself. I don't think I would put it on my mount Rushmore of comedies. So I would give this use a four out of five. How about now we move into some superhero movies. Let's look at teens suicide Squad. So that's it, what with some kind of suicide squad. This is a bad movie, although it gets a little bit more hate than it deserves. I remember watching it in theaters and enjoying some parts of it. But when you really break down what this movie was supposed to be versus what we actually got, it's a pretty big let down. And in the same way I fell in Home Alone, they were just trying to get that line for the movie trailer. This is exactly what that is, this moment feels cheesy beyond belief, and I'm glad they date away from this. In the version at that time, it would have been even more cheesy because a character would have had to say, what are we the Suicide Squad to show the difference in the two movies. So overall, this one has a lot of things going against it. If he was very forced, it's coming from wool Smith's character, who was also pretty forgettable in this movie. And there's not much else I like about this use here. So for Suicide Squad from I'm giving this one a zero out of five. Let's move on now to Marvel and from two thousand and eight. Let's talk about iron Man. I am iron Man. So this is the moment that this entire movie was leading up to. And I know I throw this word around a lot, but this scene is an iconic superhero scene. You have Tony Stark up there, who's supposed to just deliver this message say that he was an iron Man, but in his soul, he felt like that would be a disservice and he had to let the world know that I am iron Man. And why this is so significant is because this was the first movie in the m c U back in two thousand and eight, and that iconic line would be heard again in Avengers Endgame, closing out this entire saga. So him saying it in this movie at the end and then saying it again at the end of Endgame adds so much more weight to it. But I just think the delivery is so awesome, the fact that it comes at the very end of the movie. You hit the song and then you're roll to credit. That's a very powerful thing to do. In most movies, you would probably say that and then continue on with some of the aftermass, but Nope, that leads you straight into Iron Man too. So nothing I don't like about the use here. So I'm giving Iron Man from two thousand and eight five out of five. All right, let's go back to d C here, also from two thousand and eight, The Dark Night, Dark Mind. Again, this one comes at the very end of the movie, and it's when Commissioner Gordon is explaining why they have to chase Batman and the noble decision that Christian Bales Batman has done to be what the city needs right now. And it's weird that the use of this one is so strikingly similar to Iron Man, which also came out in two thousand and eight. They're both superhero movies, both being the last line spoken in each movie, and then you're all the credits. Which one of these makes me feel a little bit more hype, probably the Iron Man because it comes from Tony Stark, But I love the open ending to the Dark Knight, and this is often what Christopher Nolan does in his movies. He leaves some of the ending up to interpretation and you kind of put together later through your imagination what happens after this, and this is a great lead into the Dark Knight rises. So I think this is a great use here from arguably, depending on the day you asked me, my favorite movie of all time. But it still doesn't get me as hype as some of the other ones. So I'm going to give this one a four point five out of five. It's almost perfect. Though. Let's go back to the Night nineties. Now, one of my favorite action comedies from nineteen nine seven. Let's talk about conn Air. Ladies and gentlemen. This is your captains making I have the only gun on board, Welcome to con Air. I love how ridiculous this movie is the action, the characters, the acting. Everything about this movie would lead you to believe that it is a bad, cheesy movie, and that's kind of what conn Air is. It's one of the most memorable movies of the nineties. But on paper, it has all the action movie tropes and all the cheesy lines in acting. But I think what makes it a great movie is it has a lot of a list actors and it seems very self aware, and I think this line is a great example of that. I think one of the cheesiest uses of someone saying the title of the movie in the movie. But I love it. I'm all about it. So I give Connie's use a four out of five. I'm gonna stay in the year nine seven. Speaking about cheesy action movies, one of my favorites has to be Face Off. You have Nick Cage, you have John Travolta in one of the most ridiculous plots. We got a lot of this in the nineties, very ridiculous plots to action movies. But man, do we eat those up, and it's something very hard to replicate and redo. Now I've seen kind of a resurgence in these type of movies, but very few have found that same charm from the nineties. But let's take a liston in to face Off. I'd like to take his his face kind of along those same lines of con Air. The acting in this movie, that's the level of it, and Nicolas Cage is kind of the king of cringe acting. He probably recently has gotten into some better roles where he's actually showing off like I'm a legit actor. But in the nineties there were some movies he was in that it was just like, man, are you just doing these to be able to buy a t Rex goal? Later? Probably where did all the money you made in the nineties go? But is the movie I often quote in my normal day to day life when it comes up. It doesn't come up very often, but I love just saying I'd like to take his face off. Face Off. I'm gonna give it a three point five out of five. Staying in the nineties, closing out the decade in nine, let's take a look at the use in the Matrix. Do you know what I'm talking about? The Matrix? I don't love that use. I am not even the biggest fan of The Matrix. I remember when it came out, I thought it was all right, And recently when the fourth movie came back, I went and rewatched or was going to rewatch the trilogy. But after the first one I kind of found that that movie was a lot more boring than I remembered. It's a lot more slow paced and less action than I remembered, And nothing about hearing the use here makes me want to go back and give it another shot. So for the matrix, I'm gonna give this one a two out of five, and with that we go back to and back to the future next Saturday nights. We're sending you back to the future. What else can you say about Back to the Future. It's a perfect movie. It has sci fi, it has a love story, it has comedy, it has action, but most importantly, it has doc saying the title of the movie in the movie very memorable scene. An A plus movie will give that use a five out of five. Let's do a random one here. How about from two thousand and six one of the most ridiculous movies of that decade, Snakes on a Plane starring Samuel L. Jackson. I have had it with this monkey fighting snakes on this London Friday Pride. Everybody's strapping in about the only freaking windows. So what you heard there is his character giving that famous scene saying the title of the movie. But that is actually the edited version that they run on TV. And I laughed so hard whenever I first discovered this, that this is how they run this movie on TV. It's just funny to hear Samuel L. Jackson sensored because he is known for saying the F word. I get joy when he says the F word, and it's just so funny to me when they sense your him out, especially saying Monday through Friday plane. One of the best uses of censorship ever. I would like to give an award to whoever was in charge of writing that alternative dialogue for that scene at so much more comedic value in my opinion. So for that reason, a three point five out of five. If you like snakes, maybe you like dinosaurs. How about the movie from nineteen three, Jurassic Park far So here is where something can feel a little bit forced but also feel magical. And I remember this line from the movie trailer. But unlike the use and Home Alone, unlike the use in Suicide Squad, this moment feels very magical. It's the first time we really see all the dinosaurs on screen, and you see all the characters reacting to that. Great delivery, great scene, great movie, will give Jurassic Park. Let's go to It's a five out of five, and we'll move to two thousand and five. Walk the Line, which is kind of a hard line to fit into a movie unless you're just saying, hey, I'm running a song called Walk the Line. This is the scene where Johnny Cash in his band are all getting drunk sitting on this stage, and then June comes up and confronts him, saying that he's going to throw his entire career down the drain. And in the movie, she says the line like this, what was I thinking? I must have been crazy. They're all gonna blow this tour. You can't walk in the line, And then it leads to Johnny Cash yelling at her. There's some beer bottles thrown. But then the scene that follows this is him performing Walk the Line, So it kind of feels maybe like the Hollywood version of how that song came together. I don't think that's exactly how it happened. She says the line, He's like, oh, that'd be a good song title, and then next day he's singing on stage. That's how it happens in the movie. I'd like to think that's how it happened in real life, but I always just loved how it created this fairy tale of that's how it went down. So for that reason, I give this use a four out of five. Let's go back to and take a look at one of the most iconic lines in film ever, fight Club. The first rule of fight Club is you do not talk about fight Club. And while fight Club is a great movie, I feel like maybe that movie quote is a little bit over used for that reason. But it's a great line, so it's coming from a deficit that I feel it's a little bit cliche to say now, and maybe it's because I've heard it so much now that it doesn't really bring any kind of feelings back. It doesn't really have a nostalgia quality even though it came out of the nineties. So a great line, but I don't think it's one of the best. So I give fight Club a three out of five with that use. How about another brutal act and movie. This one actually comes to us from Kill Bill Volume two from Quentin Tarantino starring Uma Thurman, and it came out back in two thousand and four, and when I arrive at my destination, I am gonna kill Bill. It's weird for how big of a Quentin Tarantino fan I am that this is probably the movies I go back to and watch the least, even though I remember loving these movies when they first came out. And Quentin Tarantino doesn't make sequels to his movies, and this is volume two, but he counts Kill Bill as one movie because part two is just a continuation of that. I love Uma Thurmon in this movie. My problem with this quote is they didn't say it in the first one chooses to say in volume two, So what she really should have said is I'm going to kill Bill volume two. So I feel like the quote is a little bit inaccurate. So for that reason, I'm giving it a three out of five. How about the movie be good Fellas from nineteen We always called each other good fellas. Like you say to us, somebody, you're gonna like this guy. He's all right, he's a good fella. He's one of us. I understand we were good fellas. Wise guys, this is actually the best scene, the saddest scene, the most intense and brutal scene out of the entire movie. And good Fellas is, without a doubt, my favorite Martin Scorsese movie. It's a movie I can watch over and over again without getting sick of. And ray Leota saying the title here is also one of my favorite things because his narration is really what brings this entire movie together. It gives it this cohesive feel. It's something that has been emulated in other movies but never replicated the same way as it wasn't good Fellas. And man, this scene is just so shocking the first time you watch it, and it also is the first time they really explained the use of good Fellas. Like the entire kind of theme of the movie is right there in that line. If I could give it any rating higher than a five out of five, I would, But this is easily one of the best five out of five. How about from the Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club? Yeah, yeah, again. This one comes at the end of the movie. It has a couple of things going for it. Here you get the name of the movie. Of course, you get the theme song to the entire movie. One of the most memorable images of any movie from the eighties. So the visual elevates it, the song elevates it even higher, and then you have the title of the freaking movie. Give it a five out of five. And finally, let's end it on a movie from two thousand and three, School of Rock, where it's Jack Black's character posing as a substitute teacher in a prep school and he gets all of them to form a band with him so they can enter into a Battle of the Bands, and leading up to this they been trying to name their band, and then they finally do the School of Rock and we Shall teach Rock and Roll to the world. A movie that was very instrumental in my preteen years. So many funny lines, so many funny songs in a movie that Jack Black should have won an Oscar for. Rarely, if ever, do I see people winning Oscars for comedies, but this is as good as it gets. I think his comedic timing and overall just charisma on screen is one of the best. He is one of the greatest physical comedic actors I would say since Chris Varley. And even though I love the use here, there are even more memorable lines that aren't the title of the movie that I still say in my day to day life. So I say we go back retroactively give Jack Black an oscar for this performance, and we give the School of Rock a five out of five. He said. He So there we go. That is ranking films when they say the title of the movie in the movie. Will come back and my wife Kelsey will join me to give our review spoiler free of course, of Don't Worry Darling, which is in theaters now, and then in the trailer park, we'll talk about that new m Night Shamalan movie after this. All right, about to get into a movie review, and I'm joined now by my wife Kelsey. How are you ready to talk about Don't Worry Darling? I am ready. It'll be a little tough to do this one spoiler free, but we're gonna stick to how the movie made us feel, what we thought about the character's performances, and overall didn't meet up to our expectations. So before we get into our review of Don't Worry Darling, here's just a little bit of the trailer. Most of my patients of a nightmare, Violet, Where did you meet Bill? We went on a train to boss who he dropped your ticket and he bent down and picked it out. David Tom cry, thank you for your moveing. What do we do change in the world? They're lying about everything. Keep calm and carry on. So I feel like this trailer didn't really give anything away for the entire movie. Did you feel that the movie is set in the nineteen fifties. You have Alice and Jack who are played by Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, and they live in this really weird community called Victory. The town is owned by that company, Victory, and it's very mysterious as to what the men in the town do for work. They all leave at the exact same time their picturesque wives waved them off their lunch. Yeah, it's a very weird dystopian scenario here. And then Florence Pugh's character in the movie starts to question it. She starts seeing and noticing some weird things going on in the town and is asking for answers and isn't getting them. So that's kind of where the movie takes place. What is going on. It's a little bit more of a mystery that I was expecting. I thought it was gonna be like a full on thriller, but I enjoyed the aspect of you're trying to figure out with her character throughout the entire movie. I think the movie visually looked really cool. Visually it was awesome, and I thought the movie was very ambitious, and for being an Olivia Wild movie, it's very different than Book Smart. So I really like that kind of dystopian type situation. And if I had to compare it to two other movies, it reminded me of The Truman Show meets Get Out. You have this person who is questioning where they are not getting any answers. There are things that are very weird in the movie. Whenever something goes wrong, kind of like in the Truman Show, there are some people that are trying to clean up the situation. And then it reminds me of Get Out of kind of the tension that it brings. The element of horror, which it's not really a horror movie. No, I wasn't scared, and I'm scared of everything. You don't like horror movies at all, but it kind of has like that element of what's kind next, Yeah, what's coming next? And I thought Florence Pugh owned this movie. She was fabulous. I think she's the best part in this movie, and she plays her character very well. I think this is a role in a movie as a whole that was perfectly cast. I think it's my favorite performance of her since Mid Simar or Midsummer, depending on how you say that movie. Also, you keep saying things and I'm like, wow, somebody else said that. No, it was you on your Instagram story, like when you were just like it's a combination of Truman Show and Get Out. I'm like, wow, someone else made that direct comparison. No, it was literally make notes. I was like, whoa, two people at the same thing. But she has like a really good expressive face. Whenever something like crazy is happening to her, she shows it on her face so well that it makes me feel too. And I got that same kind of feeling that I did in Mid Simar, which I thought anybody would like that movie if you like horror movies. But to the people I have recommended that to, they're like, why did you tell me to watch that movie? I had a friend amateur movie critically. It has been on the podcast Just give me the entire synopsis because we Ali and I used to work together, and so one day on our lunch break, I was just like, tell me the whole thing. So she described to me, and I was like, great, cool, feel like I've seen it, don't ever have to see it. Lovely, but I feel like if you are a fan of Florence Pew and you liked midsom Are, you will like this movie kind of in the same vein a little bit as far as what the type of movie that she would do, but I think she crushed this role. Let's talk about Harry Styles. Let's talk about him you started off. I feel like of that audience, which was a pretty full crowd we went on a Thursday, that audience came to see Harry had no clue there was a plot to the movie. Let's just call it like, let's call it that. And one thing I noticed is, yes, the movie theater was very full for a Thursday night, mostly female. There were maybe what besides me, four or five other dudes. I would say there was probably there's probably some behind us. There was no more than ten. I wasn't expecting that this is a movie I've been excited about for a couple of years now, since it was announced. I was expecting it. The hairy buzzes is buzzing right now. He's coming off a fifteen shows a Medisine, Square Garden. He's about to do some shows in Austin. I wish I could be there, Chicago, l A. He's doing, like I looked, seventeen nights in l A. I think that's a lot. But as soon as we walked in that theater, I was like, oh, this is actually walked into the movie, like not even just the theater like the establishment to get like snacks. It was just like females everywhere. But I feel like if it takes a pop star to get people back into the theater, I'm all for it. So how did you feel about him in this movie? It's really his He's been in other movies, but as far as like a major role, this is his first one. Most screen time he's had. First time we probably saw him in the screen was Dunkirk. He also had a role in The Eternals, which will be in more Marvel movies to come, was Jimmy Channelso in Eternals, yes she was, and she's also in She's in this movie as well. And then he's going to be in another movie later this year called my policeman, but this is the first time we've really seen his acting abilities. What do you think about his performance? I thought Harry was great. I loved that he got to keep his printer saccons I'm a Harry stand. I thought he was great as an actor. I thought he was pretty good too. I thought he played the part really well. There are some scenes that get intense where he has to level up his emotions. There's some rage scenes, and I feel like he did those pretty well. I felt like it was pretty believable for him, and I also didn't feel like I was just watching Harry Styles the pop star. I was able to kind of separate those two people and see him as just being an actor, which I thought was gonna be a little harder for me in this role. Of getting that much screen time from him a great. There's some pop stars like Nick Jonas has done some movies well, Joe Jonas is going to be in a movie coming up that you were not excited about them. As soon as you said that he was going to be in it, I was like, it's already down top gun. Anyways, sometimes the pop star to actor translation doesn't go well, but I thought Erry did it effortlessly, which I think speaks to his ability as a performer, whether on a stage on screen. I can think he just he has that like it factor. But because they were on the X factor, I really did. I think he just has that kind of aura to him that demands your attention. I enjoyed it. I won't give anything away, but there's one part in the movie where like his appearance changes a little, and I will say every girl in that movie theater cackled because it just was like not what we're used to seeing him as. So it's not a spoiler. It's an interesting thing though that I felt there were a lot of shared experiences in this movie that I haven't seen people react that way. But I think we'll get into that when we probably do a spoiler version of our review because there's so much. There's so much to talk about because it is a mystery, you're trying to figure things out, So I think we do a spoiler version where we get into all of those discussions. Also want to say Nick Kroll was great. Yeah, for somebody who just does comedies who's known as being a funny person, I took him seriously. I thought he was a good addition to this cast and a very unusual casting, and I think if you look at all these people on paper, you wouldn't think that they worked together. But I think it's a great ensemble. There was a lot of drama surrounding the release of this movie, from Florence Pugh not being a part of the press tour, the alleged spitting on Chris Pine, the Olivia wild Child abuff drama. Yeah, he was supposed to be in this movie. So when all is said and done, all the drama surrounding it, all the hype we had going into watching this movie, do you think it lived up to it or not? I do. I also want to say I saw a TikTok of somebody remember what city was in. But at their theater, they got permission and they got on stage and gave a power point presentation of all the drama surrounding this film again, and I really wish someone had done that here because I could have used a little refresher. Yeah, but I was like, the intensity of it was fabulous. They got up there with like a pointer and they were like pointing at the screen, like a whole power point on like the cinema screen. It was great. I loved all the drama leading up to this. I think that's important for a movie now, for any movie to build up any kind of buzz just from the things surrounding it that doesn't happen. Yeah, a lot of promotion went into this that was just word of mouth. I think in this case, all press was good pressed exactly. I think more people have probably heard about the drama going into this movie, then we'll probably watch it, So I if I had to say, I don't think it quite lived up to the hype. Though. As much as I did enjoy this movie and as much as I was looking forward to the next Olivia Wild movie, I thought it was going to instantly be one of my favorites of the year. I didn't gasp as much as I thought, exactly. And the reason I think that is is I felt like I needed just a little bit more plot. I needed a little bit more of Florence Pew and her character's journey in this movie that I don't think I got. I needed a little more needed more answers, Yes, more answers. I think I just needed a little bit more action in it too. Without getting into all the plot points, but there was just a lot of mystery, a lot of weirdness, and a lot of ambitious things, which again I enjoyed the attempt of making something novel here, but I just think that there was another level of it that it just didn't quite get to to meet up to my hype going into it. So we had to give a rating to don't worry, darling, what would you give it? Four point to five out of five sizzling pieces of bacon? Oh, that's pretty good. That was some good imagery in the movie. A lot of it had to do with the repetition of certain tasks, and cooking was one of those, and I thought that was one of my favorite visuals out of the entire movie. I'd give it three point five out of five bourbons. I think it's a movie that unless like of the theater, unless you're a huge Hairy Styles fan, you probably don't have to rush to the theater to watch. Now. I don't think seeing it on the big screen elevated it in anyway really, so you don't. Okay, Again, we're on very different sides of TikTok okay, so my TikTok is full of people were criticizing. Maybe again with the drama that Harry didn't like the movie because he said it's a film that comes across like a film, and everyone's like, what does that even mean? But then people were like, I agree, Like I think the big screen at the surround sound, so I do think it's worth seeing in theaters. I wouldn't say rush, like get in your car the money you hear this, but like, but you're not your to do list this weekend. The movie did have a very good sound design, Like the sounds were even more than the visual as I like the sounds. There's like a lot of like background sounds too that they came louder, and I don't feel like you get that, you forget not everyone has their beloved sounds, right, You're right, You're right, I would say more so than the visuals, the sound really brought some life to this movie. There was a lot of rumbling in the theater during certain parts, and that does kind of hit you in the chest a little bit when you hear those sounds in that environment, So you can all was convinced me that it does require the big screen for the sound alone. I think you may have convinced me. I think you do have to see this one in theaters to get the full effect. There you go, I say, go see it in theaters. It's great. Harry's cute as ever. I would agree anything else you want to say before we go. All right, we'll be back with the trailer park. It's time to head down to movie Mike Paul, Let's talk about one of the most well put together movie trailers I've seen at the entire year. Rarely do I just watch a movie trailer that I had no interest in watching before and after it, I'm like, I have to see this movie. And the movie is called Knock at the Cabin. It's from director m Night Shamalan, who has been pretty hit or miss on movies as of late, probably more misses than he has hits. We'll get into some of his biggest movies of his career. What this movie is about. It's this family who is vacationing in a remote cabin. It's a young girl and her parents and they get taken hostage by these four arms strangers who demanded the family make an unthinkable choice to stop the apocalypse. So here he's just a little bit of the Knock at the Cabin trailer. Is a woman to carry something that looks like a pick with a chain in a mallet head. See, the four of us have a very important job to do. In fact, it might be the most important job the history of the world. The four of us are here to prevent the apocalypse your family, as Jose gonna make a horrible decision. After watching this trailer, I was instantly hooked, and I have him in the biggest fan of m Night shamalan movies since probably the last one I actually thought was a good movie was Split back In. But if you're not super familiar with m Night Shamalan's work, he got his first hit back in with The sixth Cents. Went on a street ing of really good, memorable movies, And what is movies usually often contain. What he's known for is the twist, probably more so than putting in thought to the plot. Sometimes he's always looking for that twist where the movie makes you go, oh, man, I didn't see that coming. That's what he's kind of known for. So in two thousand he had Unbreakable, two thousand in two he had Signs, two thousand and four he had The Village, and I think his last good movie of the two thousand's was Lady in the Water from two thousand and six, and then he started to tank. In two thousand and eight, he had The Happening, which was arguably one of his worst movies, But then he followed that one up with another bomb, The Last Airbender in After Earth, another big bomb in disappointment at the box office. But it looks now like he is making a change in his filmmaking and adapting to modern horror filmmaking techniques. And that's kind of the vibe that I get from this trailer. The movie starts Dave Batista, who I'm really liking his rise in the Hollywood now. He was never one of my favorite wrestlers. Whenever he became popular, I was kind of done with wrestling, but have really enjoyed him in movies from Guardians of the Galaxy Dune, He's going to be in the New Knives Out movie. I also enjoyed his part in Blade Runner, and I like that he hasn't stuck to the easy thing of just being an action star. I feel like he has a lot of substance to him, which you don't really expect when you look at a guy like Dave Batista, who could rip your face off. But I think he is a pretty good actor, and unlike some of the other wrestler's turn actors, he's really differentiated himself from them. He's not really taking roles that The Rock With take or John Cena. He's really been able to make a name for himself after his wrestling career. So I think just the fact that he is attached to it has me even a little bit more excited. And maybe it's also because this movie is based on a book which was a best seller that I feel I have a little bit more belief in the plot if it follows along to the book pretty closely. I feel like it's kind of hard to mess up a best seller. The movie also stars Rupert Grint, who you may remember as Ron Weasley from Harry Potter and this movie is coming out on February three, three. But again, after watching this trailer, it convinced me that I would give him another chance. And I don't think this trailer gives away a whole lot. Maybe it has to do with kind of a cult type situation. Maybe it's a little bit reminiscent of the village that's kind of the style I got, But it really reminds me of The Strangers from Back in two thousand and eight, which is a pretty scary horror movie, because that is something that can actually happen. And after watching a movie like that, you don't want to stay alone in any type of house and you will question every single sound, every creek, every movement, and that movie will make you very paranoid because you think it doesn't have to do with monsters. It doesn't have to do with any paranormal things. It just has to do with people who are creepy. I am looking forward to this one, and if he screws up this movie, I'm out for good. And that'll do it for another episode here on the podcast. Now it's time for the listeners shout out, which I do every single week every episode just to give you guys a shout out for listening and sending in a comment d M on Twitter or emailing me movie Mike d at gmail dot com. And this week I put up on my insto the story I was gonna pull the listeners shout out from reviews and you can leave a review if you listen on Apple Podcasts. You go over to my podcast to scrow down towards the bottom, and you have the little write a review section. Give it five stars because that helps me out in the algorithm, it helps other people discover the podcast. Or if you listen on Spotify or I Heart Radio, they also have the star system over there, so give it the maximum stars wherever you're listening to this right now. So I went over into that section, and this week's listeners shout out comes to us from Hemmy, who gave it a five star review with the title love It, and she writes, I love the unique knowledge Mike shares in this podcast and appreciate his ability to review a movie without giving away too much. So my shout out is to you, Hemmy. I think that is the battle I face every time I review a movie on this podcast, because I don't want to give too much away. I don't want to spoil anything for anybody, so that's why I do spoiler free reviews. I just want to give you an idea of how good a movie is and what to expect, to give you all the tools you need to decide whether or not the movie is for you or not. In some cases, I watch movies so you don't have to. You just get the easily digestible short segment version. So it means a lot to me that that does come across well when you listen to this podcast. So that is the shout out for this week. That is the episode. Hope you enjoyed that. And if you are a fan of this podcast US and you're on Instagram, I could use some organic interaction this week. Just tag me in your Instagram story, take a screenshot or whatever app you listen on, or take a picture of your car dashboard with the episode pulled up, and just tag me and I'll repost them over on my Instagram at Mike Destro. And since I did the shout out from the reviews this week, next week I'll do it on people who do that. So tag me on your Instagram story and until next week, go out and watch good movies and I will talk to you later
