Speaker 2: How are you great.

00:00:06
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking Pixar movies. We're gonna be drafting our mount Rushmore of Pixar movies. You just watched a really big Pixar movie for the first time. I did, so we'll talk about that in the movie review. It's all connected because I'll be giving my review of Inside Out too.

Thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed, Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew.

00:00:33
Speaker 3: And now let's talk movies.

00:00:36
Speaker 4: 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 IMTB with glasses.

00:00:53
Speaker 3: From the Nashville Podcast Network. This Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

00:00:59
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to build our Mount Rushmore of Pixar movies. There are now twenty eight Pixar movies Inside Out to being that twenty eight point that just came out over the weekend.

00:01:09
Speaker 3: The rule is, once we pick one, it is off the board.

00:01:13
Speaker 2: Got it. We're going like one for one.

00:01:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna spin the coin to see who goes first. Ready, you call it head details heads, and the wheel is it's spinning. It's spinning. It's spinning where it falls, we don't know it is tails. I go first. I feel like I gotta go with my first little Oh, I'm in between two. Since I'm taking the first pick, I gotta go nineteen ninety five Toy Story as my number one movie.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: Knew that was gonna be yours.

00:01:45
Speaker 1: When I'm thinking of my Mount Rushmore, I'm also thinking of the character that's gonna go up on the big Rock statue, and I want to see Woody there. I want to see it, like just the faces of all these movies too. So I'm also considering the esthetic. I'm big on esthetic, going just movie preference, just purely.

00:02:02
Speaker 3: On the enjoyment of the film and.

00:02:03
Speaker 2: The rock people can make it look good.

00:02:06
Speaker 3: All Right, you have the second pick. What are you going with?

00:02:08
Speaker 2: This will come as no surprise to you. I am going with a classic. He touched the butty.

00:02:13
Speaker 1: Finding Nemo that's a big one. Finding Nemo is off the board. I gotta take it off my list, so I don't pick it from two thousand and three. That does a strong first pick, and we'll do back to me. Do I want to stick in the nineties? Do I want to move into something? You know, I'm gonna have to go with one that is personal to me because when I look at movies, it wasn't until really the twenty tens where I started to see some representation being a Mexican American. So I'm gonna go with twenty seventeen. Coco also knew that was gonna make your list. Yeah, you just referenced it the other day.

00:02:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, what were we talking about?

00:02:50
Speaker 2: I feel like we're talking about like sad movie songs.

00:02:52
Speaker 3: And I just started thinking, remember Me.

00:02:54
Speaker 1: And it was because whenever I watched that movie with my mom, she like loved it so much, and I think that was the first time for her ever seeing a movie of that caliber that also represented our culture. And I think that's huge for kids. And I love that Pixars always pushed that boundary. So That is my number two on my Mount Rushmore. So I have Woody and then I have me Gale right next to him. What's your pick?

00:03:16
Speaker 2: I would like to see, Mike Waskowski Monsters Inc.

00:03:20
Speaker 1: You're going heavy in the two thousands. I think we're seeing a difference in our age just a little bit. Because I was born in ninety one.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: There's only a few in the nineties.

00:03:28
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, I guess they, Yeah, I guess. Toy Story was the first Pixar movie in.

00:03:31
Speaker 2: Ninety three in the nineties.

00:03:33
Speaker 1: But I still I grab on to those more so than the two thousands because when those are huge, I was still.

00:03:39
Speaker 2: A very twenty seventeen movie.

00:03:42
Speaker 1: True, and you're judging me for picking, but I decided to hop to that one because I if I didn't get that one on my Mount Rushmore, I would be bummed out. So I thought by taking that one and then working my way back, I could still pick up some of my favorites in the later rounds.

00:03:55
Speaker 3: It's also strategy in this.

00:03:57
Speaker 2: But yes, I was seven when Monsters Inc. Came out, and then nine when Finding Nemo came out.

00:04:04
Speaker 1: We'll take it off my list, all right, All right? Back to me, got Toy Story, I got Coco. Mmm, some big ones still left on the board. What do I want to go with? Do I want to go with a little bit more fun, a little bit more emotional? I also have to kind of split up my you know what, I'm going to go back to the nineties, since I was talking about it the one I wanted to pick up. I'm going with the Bugs Life from ninety eight.

00:04:26
Speaker 3: Dang it to get that that was my next one.

00:04:29
Speaker 2: I didn't want to give it away that I was going back to the nineties.

00:04:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, Toy Story and A Bugs Life were such a big part of my childhood. And A Bugs Life, I feel doesn't really get talked about enough as.

00:04:40
Speaker 2: Far as you're the poo poo plotter.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: It's so good like all the characters in A Bugs Life.

00:04:44
Speaker 1: And also just the story of Flick of it was inspiring now because he was always trying to be so innovative and do things differently, and it was a commentary on people just want to do the same old thing and it's because of Flick that they were able to survive and beat the grass.

00:05:00
Speaker 3: And that's a funny movie.

00:05:01
Speaker 1: I rewatched it whenever it got added to Disney Plus and that reminded me that they remastered a lot of.

00:05:07
Speaker 3: Them that was recently, right, Yeah, that was pretty recently.

00:05:09
Speaker 1: I fell asleep to you watching it, and I was like, this movie looks so much better now. They did the high def treatment, so it's so much brighter, and it almost felt like I was rewatching it for the first time.

00:05:20
Speaker 2: So, Madam, I'm crossing it off my list.

00:05:22
Speaker 1: Oh, mine is like a good I feel good about it. I mean, yours is really solid so far. But what is your pick for number three?

00:05:28
Speaker 2: The Incredibles?

00:05:29
Speaker 1: Ah, that's a good. That one's gonna be my fourth Huh. I wanted to get that one, all right, you're still in the two thousand, so my final pick, all right, do I want? I want to go on Emotion here, and there are two movies that come to mind when I think of Emotion, what I feel is a little bit too recent. So I'm gonna go as my fourth pick on my Mount Rushmore. M has that really Mount Rushmore worthy? I don't know that that one is. And I don't want to pick two from the same franchise because I feel like that's just not the best representation of Pixar. So I'm gonna go with I'm going with UP.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: Dang it, you knew you were picking my last one.

00:06:06
Speaker 3: You didn't know, am I supposed to know.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: You knew because you know me and you know which Pixar movies I like, and.

00:06:12
Speaker 3: You know I don't. I was going purely based on me. You knew I go back all of these. I had.

00:06:18
Speaker 1: I relate back to watching them with my mom. I went to go see it for the first time two movies from me. My brother and I went to go see it in three D, and then we took my mom again, and I just remember that experience of seeing my mom reacted. The opening scene was still good, and for every movie on this list, it has the strongest opening, memorable characters. Big Fun Adventure in two thousand and nine is one of my favorite years ever. So I had to go with UP so I could see Carl Frederickson's face up there or Russell.

00:06:45
Speaker 3: I mean, there's so many great characters in that.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go the other one that I know you didn't, which one Inside Out? Ah?

00:06:52
Speaker 3: You just watched this one, Yeah, but I don't.

00:06:54
Speaker 2: I honestly don't like any of these enough to put them on my mount rushmore like, I don't want to go oh a sequel. Like if I was gonna pick a Toy Story, it was gonna be the original.

00:07:03
Speaker 3: I was either gonna go Toy Story one or Toy Story three.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: I don't want to go a sequel. Cars meh rat a two week cute little rat, but like, eh, Wally absolutely not goes on the dumpster fire for me, absolute trash dumpster fire.

00:07:18
Speaker 3: It tears me up inside that you dislike Wally so much.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: And then I didn't really watch a lot of the like twenty teens because I was in college and didn't go home as much to see my little brothers. And then I feel like I started watching more when we started dating, but there were none that I want. Incredibles two was already six years ago.

00:07:38
Speaker 3: Wow, that still feels brand new to me.

00:07:40
Speaker 2: Time flies when you're in existential dread.

00:07:43
Speaker 3: So we'll recap our mountain.

00:07:45
Speaker 2: Start talking about my decision.

00:07:46
Speaker 1: Well, we can still go into it, just so everybody knows our picks. I have Toy Story, Cocoa, a Bugs, Life, and Up, and you have besides the glare you're giving me right now.

00:07:56
Speaker 2: I have Finding Nemo Monsters, inc. The Incredibles and Inside Out.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: All right, let's go through some of these other ones.

00:08:01
Speaker 2: I want to see Sadness on a Rocky from Inside Out. Yeah, some of the other ones. The Good Dinosaur. I don't even remember what that movie.

00:08:08
Speaker 1: I think it is the worst Pixar movie on this list.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: Sounds boring.

00:08:12
Speaker 1: It doesn't even fit the caliber of movie that Pixar is. After that movie, you really have a bunch of sequels, so many sequels, And then some people would say in the last five years, Pixar has a bit of a slump if you look at the last movies, not including Inside Out too.

00:08:28
Speaker 3: It's Elemental, which I think was actually a good movie.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Enjoyed it.

00:08:31
Speaker 1: I think it came out at a time where people were quick to jump on that one of hating it, But if you actually went to go see it's actually a pretty solid Pixar movie. It gave me vibes of the original, not the original, but like the early two thousands Pixar movie.

00:08:44
Speaker 3: So I think Elemental was good. Light Year was controversial.

00:08:47
Speaker 1: For a weird way because people were so fired up about Tim Allen not returning to voice Buzz light Year, except it's not about the toy it's about the pert. It was just hard to explain exactly what was going on in light Year.

00:09:00
Speaker 2: Wasn't there. Also, I feel like there was another controversial.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: The same sex kiss. It was so like, you watched the movie so dumb.

00:09:06
Speaker 2: I couldn't even remember what the controversy was.

00:09:08
Speaker 3: You watch it and you don't even really notice it.

00:09:10
Speaker 2: I don't even remember that being a part.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think it's that big of a part.

00:09:14
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, here comes the may coun scene between a same sex couple that didn't really happen.

00:09:19
Speaker 2: Also, every Pixar movie, every Disney movie, whatever, since we were kids, and we talked about sever DreamWorks movie had things that were above kids' heads that, if you examine it, were not appropriate. The sexual innuindows in the Shrek trilogy alone, a lot of those.

00:09:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, not Disney, but yes, I said.

00:09:37
Speaker 2: And DreamWorks, I said, all of like the kids movies.

00:09:39
Speaker 3: I mean, like a sleeping beauty no consent there.

00:09:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's given a little baby, it's cold outside.

00:09:44
Speaker 1: You go back into the history of the Disney vault. Yeah it's weird just because it's on the other way. But yeah, two same sex couple is like, oh, this is can't ever kids watching that.

00:09:54
Speaker 2: But anyways, that was a dumb reason for light Year to be controversial. I actually really enjoyed light Year.

00:09:58
Speaker 3: I did too.

00:09:58
Speaker 1: You had before that Turn Red, which is also a really good movie, but also one that they didn't put out fully in theaters. It was a Disney Plus movie.

00:10:06
Speaker 2: And that people got mad about for some reasons, like.

00:10:08
Speaker 3: People just getting fired up about things.

00:10:10
Speaker 1: Luca before that, which Luca was a really solid I would say middle of the Road picks on movie.

00:10:16
Speaker 3: I think I.

00:10:16
Speaker 1: Watched that one just me. I think you said, I'm good without that one. But I feel like if that movie came out in the twenty tens, it would have crushed at the box office. But it said came out right on Disney Plus in twenty twenty one. Before that, in twenty twenty we had Soul, which also came out at the end of that year.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: I do remember watching that one. That one was a little bit of like existential crisis. It wasn't really a kid's movie, really wasn't.

00:10:37
Speaker 1: It was more of a movie for adults who are struggling with finding their identity and finding their true calling in life. Aren't we all, so it resonated more than me, and I think all the great reviews that had were from the twenty five plus thirty year old Pixar fans that watched it. I don't really know that that's many kids' favorite Pixar movie.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: And if that is, please get your child therapist out.

00:11:01
Speaker 1: And then before that in twenty twenty was Onward, which I feel was pretty vanilla when it Oh, yeah, it's Chris Pratt, Tom Holland have a dad, dad, Yes, their brothers, and it's a sense it was almost like a Dungeons and Dragons based movie.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: That was like right before the pandemic.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that was one of the only movies I saw in theater. That was the last one you saw that. I almost blacked that memory out of my head. The last movie to see in d I remember seeing in theater.

00:11:29
Speaker 1: I remember seeing Bad Boys for Life early in the year, and then going to see Onward and then never going back to the theater in twenty twenty s So I wish that one had a little bit more significance. It wasn't bad, It's just when I go watch a Pixar movie, I'm expecting a plus story, a plus animation. I'm expecting to have this big extension on an incredible library that they have, and for them just to come out with a that was fun, it's just almost not even their standard of quality. I think they're in a slump. I just think that really it's the Disney Plus model hurting them a little bit. Yeah, of there's not that same impact moment that a movie comes out in theaters it crushes at the box office like we had in the two thousands and the twenty tens. Now it's a little bit more of a slow roll that people discover them later, So I feel like it has less of an impact.

00:12:20
Speaker 2: I think like the immediate consumption of movies and the immediate availability is again we've talked about this before, like content overload. Yeah, Like I log onto like Netflix or Hulu, Disney Plus and there's like a thousand new things and I'm like, I can't decide, So I'm gonna go watch Er, which, as we've talked about, is my comfort show.

00:12:38
Speaker 1: And I think it's important for Disney and Pixar movies to have that immediateness because it's tied into a lot of things. When they put out a new movie in theaters. They also do like a line of toys that McDonald's are burger King, or they roll out things in stores. So I feel like, without having that impact.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: You just unlocked a core memory.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: Of going to McDonald's for movie based Disney toys.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: Wow, hadn't thought about that in so long?

00:13:03
Speaker 3: Really, I think about that all the time.

00:13:04
Speaker 1: I guess now that I'm going into collecting things, I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember the.

00:13:08
Speaker 3: Old McDonald's toys.

00:13:09
Speaker 2: What a time.

00:13:10
Speaker 1: I think the best collab ever that a movie and restaurant had had to be the Pokemon movie and Burger King connection. It came out with the poke balls where you have like the gold card inside of it.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: Just was never a Burger King. No, maybe it's more.

00:13:24
Speaker 1: Of a Mexican thing, like we only went to Burger King. I never went to McDonald's.

00:13:28
Speaker 2: I think because I'm currently hungry as we record this. Okay, you know what's still kind of slapped into adulthood. What a ninety nine cent cheeseburger for McDonald loved it dollar seven attacks.

00:13:38
Speaker 1: Back in my days of drinking and eating poorly, go to was the ninety nine cent cheeseburgers.

00:13:44
Speaker 2: If I could still eat gluten and dairy. I would sew you one of those right now, but like perfect little like snacker meal on the go that it has the pickles on it, the ketchup. I really would have been burger right now.

00:13:56
Speaker 1: Or I used to live we lived in walking distance between any fast food restaurants.

00:14:01
Speaker 2: So we lived in like the which is funny because Austin is such a healthy city, but like you lived in the part where it was just like.

00:14:07
Speaker 3: I lived in a terrible corner.

00:14:09
Speaker 1: There was like city, there was a McDonald's, a waterburger, a lunge on Silvers.

00:14:13
Speaker 3: That those are my dark days.

00:14:14
Speaker 1: Whenever I go to Lung John Silvers, I'm like, I'm at the bottom of the barrel right now, Jack in the blocks.

00:14:18
Speaker 2: Long John Silvers is is a dark shay water burger, not a dark day, a good day Long John Slivers. Yeah.

00:14:23
Speaker 1: I mean my go to diet was like a six pack of perhaps blue ribbon Tall Boys and then walking over to whatever fast food restaurant I had coupons for that I'd get in the mail.

00:14:32
Speaker 2: And that's just so funny to me because I obviously never knew that version of you. But like now, if we like, don't eat a vegetable one day, we're both like, I feel terrible, Which it's very rare that we don't need a vegetable. But it's just funny to think like that used to be your diet, but putting my public health cap on when that's all that's available to you, and that's what's cheap that it's affordable.

00:14:51
Speaker 1: For any new listeners here about. I guess it's almost ten years ago now when I made the decision to get healthy.

00:14:57
Speaker 2: That's crazy changed the way.

00:14:58
Speaker 1: I eight lost one hundred pounds in a year and have kept it off now and for me so much. Isn't the thing now of like being so self conscious of everything I eat, being so like strict about it?

00:15:09
Speaker 3: Is just eating things that made me feel good.

00:15:10
Speaker 1: Like I just see food is fuel now, putting things in into my body that's going to carry me throughout the day. So yeah, like it just happens to be now when I eat fruits and vegetables and things that are good for me, I feel better. So it's not that I don't allow myself to eat those other things because I'm like afraid of them like I used to be. I had a pretty bad relationship with food It's just that when I don't eat how I've now trained myself.

00:15:31
Speaker 3: To do, I just don't feel good. Yeah, and it's just not good for me.

00:15:35
Speaker 2: And I just can't really eat any of the fun stuff anymore.

00:15:38
Speaker 1: I mean, I've also been vegan for like seven eight years now too.

00:15:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm working on convincing you to drop that someday. It would be so much easier for me. Going all right, this is real tangent. My bad everyone.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: Keeping with the Pixar theme, I did see the head of Pixar said that he is saying no to making any live action remakes of Pixar movies because Disney, that's all they do right now, put out an animated movie maybe every year, maybe.

00:16:04
Speaker 2: Every two years, and then we live re enacted.

00:16:06
Speaker 1: And we have the Mufasa quote unquote live action movie coming out later this year.

00:16:10
Speaker 3: We kind of stop, guys, and they just keep doing it.

00:16:13
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that he is saying that it would bother him if they did any kind of live action Pixar movie, because I think the integrity of a Pixar movie is the magic of animation and how powerful that medium is.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: I don't want to see finding Nemo with real fish.

00:16:27
Speaker 3: And I don't think anything would really work.

00:16:29
Speaker 1: I did Pull five that I think would work, but even that would be a bit of a stretch.

00:16:33
Speaker 2: Toy Story.

00:16:33
Speaker 1: Toy Story is on my list of live action movies that would work only but it would kind of still be in that same way that that Lion King is live action, because obviously you can't make toys come to live. But I think having the real life human aspect of it could work a little bit.

00:16:49
Speaker 2: I mean you could make the you could make the people toys like Andy Jesse, those could be humans.

00:16:55
Speaker 3: Oh, you totally switch it up, make them humans.

00:16:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:16:57
Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. I was thinking the humans are humans and the toy there's still some kind of like Chucky.

00:17:02
Speaker 2: No. I was thinking, like the toys could become humans. Oh yeah, I mean you can't.

00:17:05
Speaker 3: I mean entirely different movie Peep.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:17:08
Speaker 3: I think that would actually.

00:17:08
Speaker 2: Work too, But I'm saying it would be terrible, but it could be.

00:17:11
Speaker 1: It would be it'd be like a Broadway musical type level movie.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: But without the talent of a Broadway musical.

00:17:16
Speaker 1: Exactly the one I think is an easy plug and play to make a live action Pixar movie would be The Incredibles, because really it's just a superhero movie.

00:17:24
Speaker 2: Can I throw one into consideration, red a toy.

00:17:27
Speaker 1: I didn't have someone on my list, but that would probably be the cutest one.

00:17:32
Speaker 3: A little rat in the Yeah, no.

00:17:34
Speaker 2: You need like a New York Street rat. I'm not talking cute, I'm talking like the fat Subway rats.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: Oh, the big fat rat.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: I did see some people saying that they should get the guy from Challengers.

00:17:45
Speaker 2: To remake I kind of look like the cartoon.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: I mean there's that whole trend of rodent men.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could talk about that all day long.

00:17:52
Speaker 1: I feel like if I was one of those guys being put on that list, I feel kind of bad.

00:17:56
Speaker 3: I mean, it's colder getting the attention.

00:17:58
Speaker 2: But they put Jeremy Allen White, and like everyone thinks he's attractive. Heated a Calvin Klinad. So I don't think rodent man is like an insult.

00:18:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you still have to be a level of attractive to be in that category that the two other guys and Jeremy Allen wide are in. Yeah, it was like both the guys from Challengers, but it was like, for me, it's like, Okay, we just came out and hit movie. My career is about to skyrocket.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: Here.

00:18:19
Speaker 1: I have all this attention and then you see every single article about rodent men. Is your picture right there? Not the fact that you just crushed it in Challengers. Is the fact that you look like a rat but you're still kind of attractive to women.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: This is where TikTok has gone off the rails, because that's where that trend started. Yeah, it's TikTok with rodent Man. It's kind of funny.

00:18:36
Speaker 1: Though I would I would take it, but still was like, man of all the things for me to be attracted for, it's because I look like a rat, a little pizza rat.

00:18:43
Speaker 2: Pizza rat. See. I think Ratitude could be great and okay, but it's like a dark live action.

00:18:50
Speaker 3: That's kind of what I have, the idea of all these little.

00:18:53
Speaker 2: Dark live action Ratitude. We lost his job, so he's stealing pizza off the subway. Wow. I just somebody called me up.

00:18:59
Speaker 3: Because I hit my idea for the toy story. Would it'd be a horror movie killing each other?

00:19:05
Speaker 2: It really is like like Chucky or Gremlins.

00:19:08
Speaker 1: The other ones I had on my list were up I think that Outdoor work because they're all mostly humans and then you have the dog in there.

00:19:14
Speaker 2: Love the dog.

00:19:15
Speaker 3: I also have I think Monsters Ink would work.

00:19:18
Speaker 1: No oh, kind of like a like a Muppets movie where you have the humans and then the Muppets. Maybe it because we just watched that Eric show on Netflix where you have the big how about cars?

00:19:31
Speaker 3: Do you just need cars?

00:19:32
Speaker 2: It could be done.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: It could be done. You just need cars cars. I mean it kind of like Transformers.

00:19:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, talking cars are like Herbie fully Loaded one Lindsayyan's Greater Movies.

00:19:41
Speaker 1: And then the last one I had on my list was along the same lines of Toy Story would be light Year, just because that's essentially just a sci fi movie. I'm glad though, that they are saying they're not going to remake any live action movies, because I feel like now they are getting into a point where before Pixar just wouldn't make sequels of things they put out one.

00:20:02
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, The Incredibles took fourteen years.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: It took forever, But now we're going to get a Toy Story five. We just got Inside Out two. The only original Pixar movie they have coming out is in twenty twenty five Ilio or Leo maybe is how you pronounce it, which is also kind of a sci fi movie. But this kid who gets I think his dad goes missing or his mom goes missing. Yeah, and we saw that trailer like maybe a year and a half, almost two years ago, and it's been delayed for a while. I think they're struggling, and now because of some movies not having as much success as those last movies in the last five years we were talking about, they're not taking so much more risks on original ideas, where I think that is going to hurt them in the end.

00:20:43
Speaker 2: I'm still thinking about Dark rad of Towey. I think this has something. So if anyone out there has connections, let me know, because I am also in the boat of like struggling with my purpose. You know, I'm like soul If you want to ride a dark live action rat of Touey and I need to relocate and live in New York for a while, I'm so good I will not handle the rats though that would be someone else's job.

00:21:02
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:21:03
Speaker 3: So the Pixar movie you just watched for the first time, which made.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: It onto my mouth rushmore because you took.

00:21:07
Speaker 1: Ump Inside Out, which I forgot, came out twenty fifteen. It's almost the ten year anniversary of that one, and we just got the sequel to it. How did you feel after watching Inside Out? Did it make you feel all the feelings?

00:21:19
Speaker 2: Didn't make me feel all the feelings really just made me really to sadness.

00:21:25
Speaker 3: A lot of characters.

00:21:25
Speaker 2: Sadness was a vibe. I thought it was great. I'm really looking forward to the second one. We did discover though they recast some people because they lowballed everyone.

00:21:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, they recast Many Kaling and Bill Hayter, which they said that it was because some of their schedules maybe didn't the line. They're like, hey, we made this movie back in twenty fifteen. When you try to get everybody back together, some things that work out. But it looks like, according to some reports, they lowballed him a little bit. That I think Amy Pohler made between four to five million dollars for returning his Joy and they're trying to give everybody else one hundred thousand dollars to do this movie.

00:22:00
Speaker 2: That's an insane disparity.

00:22:02
Speaker 1: Incredibly low, and some people were we haven't seen it yet.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: The time of recording this.

00:22:07
Speaker 1: Some were saying that, well, if they come back and don't have as prominent of a role, maybe that's based on how much their character is going to be in it, because they are introducing a whole lot of characters. So if you have Bill Hater coming back, but he really is just the cameo and you're not going to pay him the same that you would pay Amy Poehler, who is the star of the movie.

00:22:25
Speaker 2: I can't wait for some of the new voices they have. My absolute favorite of the moment Iowa Debris, love her, can't wait to hear her in it.

00:22:33
Speaker 3: And Maya Hawk as anxiety.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: I feel like I will deeply relate to that one.

00:22:38
Speaker 1: The reason I like Maya Hawk right now is because she came out an interview recently and said, I know I'm a Nepple baby, and i know I've had some advantages, but I'm going to own it. And I think being so upfront about it that because you have parents Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawk, that you're gonna have some advantages over other people. But she was like, yeah, I'm not going to deny that. Like it has been a little bit easier for me because of that.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: Uma Thurman and Maya Hawk were at the Taylor Swift show I went to last year, and they're both stunningly attractive in person, and you're just like, wow.

00:23:12
Speaker 3: I mean, that's some DNA to have, truly, But.

00:23:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mayahawk will be really good as anxiety.

00:23:17
Speaker 1: Anything else you have. As far as feelings on Pixar.

00:23:21
Speaker 2: Movies, I'm looking at the list again.

00:23:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know people are gonna get upset, like, why did you not pick this one? Why did you not pick that one? Like I said, Toy Story three was in consideration for.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: Me, Wally was up there.

00:23:33
Speaker 1: Wally is top ten for me, but not top five, So wouldn't make that top mount Rushmore spot unless you took every single one of mine. And then if you look further down the list, I feel like Toy Story four shouldn't exist. Toy Story four kind of felt like the epilogue in the story, which is why I'm kind of bummed out that they're making Toy Story five.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: Will probably do six.

00:23:53
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be a continuing thing until maybe Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are no longer alive and then they just picked somebody else to totally change it. But it just feels like they're gonna keep relying on their biggest properties to continue to make Pixar movies. Inside Out was up there. I think Inside Out is almost a top five for me, so good.

00:24:11
Speaker 2: I just like anything that gets people talking about their feelings. I love like deep conversations. I'm an introvert. I can be good at small talk. Small talk is awkward. I'd rather skip the small talk and just like dive in. I'd rather be what Kate Kennedy calls like dressing room friends, like when you go shopping or you close enough share dressing room. I don't like the small talk. I get weird. I don't know what to say. I'd rather just like dive in and like just talk about our feelings big talk, big talk, Yeah, I like big talk.

00:24:38
Speaker 1: The only other one I'll mention that I know people are gonna be screaming about that neither of us picked was Cars. And I've just never been a fan of the Cars movies.

00:24:46
Speaker 2: I don't think it deserves span them ount rushmore.

00:24:48
Speaker 1: I never found them to have the same effect on me that all the other Pixar movies did. I almost feel like the Cars movies were made purely to sell cars, toys.

00:24:59
Speaker 2: They were just how like the cars, beds, you know, people would get beds. They look like lightning Queen.

00:25:03
Speaker 1: I see it more as the merchandise than the actual product, which when you look at any animated movie, the goal of them really is to sell toys to kids. They're essentially ninety minute to two hour commercials to sell products, to get people into Disney World the end of the day. That is why Disney makes these movies. It's because it's the vehicle to drive the machine. And I think that's why they meet Dark Yeah feel I mean his business, but I think that's why they are looking for the next big hit and focusing on things that work, because if they don't put out good movies that are essentially commercials, they still have to be art at the end of it to resonate with people. If you're not making that great art, it's not going to fund all the other aspects of Disney. So when it comes to what I look for in Pixar movies to make me feel and to make me laugh and to also push the boundaries on animation, the Cars movies have just never been that for me. So wouldn't even put it in the top ten.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: Wouldn't a big lightning queen girly either.

00:25:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean even had like the like the catch phrase. That felt a little bit for us not into it. So I'm glad that I don't think they'll be making any more of those. So that is our Mount Rushmore. That is our discussion of Pixar. We'll come back and give our movie review of inside Out two.

00:26:14
Speaker 2: And now I really want to McDonald's cheeseburger.

00:26:16
Speaker 1: All right, Well, go to McDonald's even though I'm vegan and you can't have dari or gluten.

00:26:21
Speaker 2: And do we even have McDonald's near us?

00:26:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one. Okay, let's see if they have toys. Okay, let's get into it now.

00:26:35
Speaker 1: A spoiler free movie review of inside Out two. And I am coming at this review as somebody who loved the original, even though at the time that came out in twenty fifteen, probably out of the demographic now is a thirty two almost thirty three year old. I'm not the demographic. So how I'm going to review this review because always in the comments I get, people say.

00:26:55
Speaker 3: You're an adul Why are you talking about kids movies?

00:26:57
Speaker 1: First of all, I feel like inside Out One and now In Out to transcend what people call kids movies. I think you can watch any movie no matter what age.

00:27:08
Speaker 3: You are and enjoy it.

00:27:09
Speaker 1: I think whenever we categorize Disney and Pixar movies as they're for kids, there's some truth to that. They are the key demographic. In this movie, Riley takes place after the first one where she was twelve years old. Now she is thirteen years old entering high school. Although it is for kids, the character in this movie is now a teenager. So I don't know if teenagers are really into Pixar movies. They're probably a little bit too cool for this. But I think this is the type of movie I needed as a kid. So how I'm going to review this movie. That kid inside of me that lives deep in there that as you can see by the look, so this studio still comes out of me a lot. One emotion in particular that I'll get into later in this review is still rampant. I mean, look at my mug that I'm drinking get right now for those of you watching on YouTube, it's literally a Wolverine mug. That kid inside of me is going to review this movie, and the adult in me is going to review it as what kind of movie I needed as a kid, because for me, Disney movies were often my guiding light because I had parents who from Mexico didn't really talk a whole lot about emotions. Mental health really wasn't a thing for us growing up. I'm a millennial to my core, so I feel we kind of got the tail end of that of being more upfront talking about our emotions. But as a kid wasn't really a thing. The only thing we focused on growing up was physical health doing all right, and for me and my family that was a big struggle.

00:28:39
Speaker 3: My dad has diabetes.

00:28:41
Speaker 1: I struggled with my weight all throughout middle and high school and college. Like for me dealing with just physical health that I pushed any kind of mental health way down there and put no kind of priority on that. And I think now as an adult that is healthier. I've lost weight. I'm kind of making up for all that. So where we find our characters in this movie takes place pretty much right after the first one. Everything is going good. Joy sadness, anger, disgust, and fear have all been running Riley just normally everything is good and the whole main message and inside out one was learning to deal with sadness and realizing that it is okay to feel sad. It is part of the human condition. But then you have some new emotions show up after the puberty alarm goes off, and now you have anxiety really running that main role that Joy is just so familiar with and so comfortable running. And then you have all these other new emotions coming in, like envy, embarrassment, all those things that come along with going through puberty. And I'll say right at the beginning of this is that is what I really enjoyed about. This movie doesn't stray away from that. And I know we just had turned, so it's not out of the ballpark for them to do a movie on puberty. But also I think it's a little bit of a risk. Some parents, even though all kids deal with it, maybe don't want to take a four or five year old to see a movie about puberty. But I think for me looking at it as hey, maybe some kid doesn't have a parent who is going to help them through that, this is a really good movie to watch to learn how to deal with all these new things that you were feeling, And that is really what resonated with me, and it took me back to the first time I felt anxiety in my life and didn't know it. I was in second grade. I went to school and I was so anxious. As a kid, I did not want to be late. I never wanted to miss a day, and I didn't know what that feeling was. But looking back on it, it was my anxiety, which I still struggle with.

00:30:55
Speaker 3: Go to therapy for it.

00:30:56
Speaker 1: I take sleeping medications so I can sleep at night because anxiety has become such a just rampant thing in my life. But I've, over the course of doing therapy and learning how to use these tools to combat it a little bit. This movie, even for me, it was helpful. But I can only imagine if I watched this back when I was eight, nine, ten years old, even twelve, thirteen years old, I would have taken so much from it, because it probably wasn't until high school even college that I really was able to identify that what I was struggling with is anxiety.

00:31:33
Speaker 3: And I love the way.

00:31:35
Speaker 1: That this movie handled it so well and really showed what anxiety does to not just a kid, but a person. And I think Maya Hawk did a fantastic job voicing the character and you realize just how much she has that emotion in her voice. And I think just voice acting in this well when it came to anxiety, was really great. I really hate the fact that they replaced Bill Hayter and Mindy Kayling as fear and disgust, and I will say the only really points that I held against this movie was the fact that I did enjoy the new fear and disgust, and I think to have two people who have such great animated voices like Bill Hayter and Mindy Kayling who really felt so perfect in that role. It was a reminder to me of like when I would watch cartoons as a kid and they would replace my favorite characters. I knew people think that kids don't know. I knew, and I felt it in this movie. But back to the way the anxiety was portrayed in this movie, I think it is perfect so much like in the first one where Joy is trying to suppress everything that is harmful To'riiley. No bad emotions, no bad memories, all good all the time, and we learned from that not sustainable. And I think this movie is also great because it shows that you don't have to be happy all the time, and that was something I struggle with a lot because maybe it was the millennial generation, but I feel like there was a lot of toxic positivity outline and people just telling you just smile.

00:33:10
Speaker 3: Get through the day. There are other people going through worse things.

00:33:13
Speaker 1: You don't have it that bad, and I think sometimes you need that a little reminder that hey, maybe what you're going through isn't the worst thing, but sometimes you just need to feel bad. You need to feel angry, you need to feel sad, you need to feel anxious, and you can't just feel happy all the time, because the more you just put on that front, the more everything else just bubbles up a little bit more.

00:33:36
Speaker 3: You have these memories in the back of your head.

00:33:38
Speaker 1: And that's also what this movie shows that just being happy all the time isn't going to be good for you.

00:33:44
Speaker 3: You need to let all of these.

00:33:46
Speaker 1: Emotions coexist together, much like they do in this movie.

00:33:49
Speaker 3: They all need to be at the.

00:33:51
Speaker 1: Control for different times, and it's all important to making you the person. I really enjoyed what this movie had to say, and also the animation was a pretty big improvement from the first one. Being that the last one came out in twenty fifteen, obviously they made some improvements in just the way.

00:34:10
Speaker 3: The characters looked.

00:34:11
Speaker 1: I loved the combination again much like they did in the original, of using different kind of animation styles for different characters. I thought that was a really nice touch. There was a video game character that very much looked like an early two thousands or maybe like twenty tens video game character. I loved all the new characters they added, and feel like they added a lot more comedy. The other part of this movie I really enjoyed that they stepped up a little bit more. Were all the other elements of the mind that they decided to illustrate. You may remember from the first one the stream of consciousness or the train of thought that was literally a stream and literally a train. There are so many more things like that in this movie that I don't want to really spoil if you haven't seen it yet, because I feel like that adds a little bit of comedy. Because you always say these things, you reference them a lot if you just talk about mental health or talk about what's going on in your brain, and it was fun to see them all come to life in a really creative way, and I think that is really what made me feel like Picks are put so much just time and emphasis on really doing what they do best and saying, this needs to be one of our flagshit movies.

00:35:27
Speaker 3: We're gonna make you feel.

00:35:28
Speaker 1: We're also gonna give you some really great treats to your eyes, and then we're gonna pack it all in in an hour and twenty five minutes, which this movie does not slump whatsoever. There's no time to What this one actually did was show Riley a lot more in person and what she was going through with her friends. They went to this hockey camp, and right at the start of the movie, she finds out that her two best friends that she made are not gonna go to high school with her. So it's all these emotions that she's struggling with of wanting to hang out with their best friends but also trying to make new friends who could potentially be her high school friends if she makes the hockey team that she is trying to make at this hockey camp this weekend. So I felt by them doing that, they definitely gave Riley a lot more on screen time as opposed to just the emotions in her mind, and that got me thinking that they could probably do.

00:36:22
Speaker 3: One more of these.

00:36:23
Speaker 1: I never really thought they would make an inside out too, that maybe her as a teenager wouldn't really work. They really eliminated that thought for me, and I think I want one more. You may get into some weird territories you get further into the teenage years, but if you keep it really wholesome, I think you get one more. They would probably just go fifteen years old. I think sixteen would be the year to do it, although it would be interesting to see how her emotions change going from high school, graduating, and going to college.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: I think that would be a really interesting movie.

00:36:58
Speaker 1: I feel like that one could be really emotional, and the dark side in me was thinking, what if one of these emotions died, because that's what.

00:37:06
Speaker 3: Pig Star does.

00:37:06
Speaker 1: They eventually kill off a character or make you think they're killing off a character, But.

00:37:10
Speaker 3: Do you really lose an emotion through life?

00:37:13
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm a little dead sized, so I probably lost some emotions along the way.

00:37:17
Speaker 3: But I loved all the new characters.

00:37:18
Speaker 1: I think nostalgia that whole joke was probably my favorite new character, even though on screen just a couple of times really for just one joke that was kind of the same joke.

00:37:29
Speaker 3: But maybe it's because I have.

00:37:31
Speaker 1: Such a love for nostalgia that it made me think of what is going on in my brain. I think at the control nostalgia's just running my things right now. And the other thing that really stuck out to me about this movie wasn't even on the screen, but it was in the lobby.

00:37:47
Speaker 3: It was full.

00:37:48
Speaker 1: Our showing was completely sold out. We ended up changing times because we have regal and limited and come basically just switch to anytime anytime we want. And we got the last two seats to a showing on a Saturday afternoon and the lobby was full of people, the theater was live, and that.

00:38:07
Speaker 3: Just felt good.

00:38:08
Speaker 1: For a Pixar movie, there hasn't been one in a while that really felt like an event, and I've been talking so much about how it feels like a lot of people are waiting until it goes on to Disney Plus. But maybe it's because it's such a big movie, such a big property, that there was that urgency. It crushed at the box office, making two hundred and ninety five million dollars worldwide, now has the biggest opening of the year beating out none, which is huge, And I just felt that energy in the theater because it reminded me of when we went to go see If.

00:38:42
Speaker 3: Audience was dead. Kids were not enjoying that movie.

00:38:46
Speaker 1: Maybe laughed out loud twice in that entire showing of If, which just lacked imagination. I felt like it was a rip off to kids who went to go see it, and one of those last was super cheap because it was a fart joke. So for this one, it felt so different. The audience felt more engaged, and I think this is going to be a core Pixar movie.

00:39:10
Speaker 3: It'll easily jump.

00:39:12
Speaker 1: Into a lot of people's top five. For me, I think it would have been a perfect movie. But the way I have to judge it, since it is a sequel, I have to compare it to the first one.

00:39:24
Speaker 3: That first one hit hard.

00:39:26
Speaker 1: There were some moments in that one that really just hit you in the chest, hit you in the gut, and still resonate with me. I don't think Inside Out two had that. I know the moment they were going for, which I won't spoil, but when that moment came, didn't quite pack that punch that Inside Out one. Did you add that on to the fact that they replace fear and disgust? I just can't get over that. I love Bill Hater and Mandy Kaling too much. They should have paid them the money. It is interesting to see how little some of the emotions speaks, so maybe that plays a little bit to it, because I feel like Embarrassment probably could have done his entire lines in one day. But again that's the character of Embarrassment. So by any understandards, this would be a perfect five out of five movie. But in my heart, I still love the first one more. But for Inside Out too, I give it four point five out of five. Core Memories.

00:40:25
Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie.

00:40:27
Speaker 4: Mike Treylar Paul.

00:40:29
Speaker 1: I feel like it's becoming more and more rare to not only get one a plus actor in a movie, but to get two together. And I'm talking superstars because in Wolf's we have Brad Pitt and George Cooney teaming up together. It's like going out to dinner and getting a steak and as aside to that steak, you get another steak.

00:40:50
Speaker 3: How could this movie be bad? And going through their.

00:40:52
Speaker 1: History of movies that they've done together, for some reason. I think they've been in so many movies, but really primarily it's been The Ocean's franchise that were also in burn after reading together. So I'm really excited to see two legendary actors back sharing the screen. It's always interesting to have that dynamic because you have two people who don't need another A list star to make a movie compelling.

00:41:16
Speaker 3: They can do it all by themselves.

00:41:18
Speaker 1: They've been leading men since the nineties, but now to have them both together and just seeing the friction between their characters, it's almost like they're two egos also battling each other on screen. So I think for audiences like us, that is going to be really entertaining to watch and worthy of going to the theater to watch a movie like this. Just by the looks of this trailer, it's giving me those early two thousands action comedy vibes, which I think we need right now. That's not attached to a franchise, not a part of some cinematic universe, just really straight ahead Hollywood movie.

00:41:47
Speaker 3: But will people seek it out? That's the big question.

00:41:50
Speaker 1: Our two names like Clooney and Pitt, is that enough to make a hit right now? So this movie I feel will have a big impact on what Star Power is.

00:42:00
Speaker 3: Going to be moving forward. But what the movie is about.

00:42:03
Speaker 1: George Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover high profile crimes. At the start of this trailer, this woman discovers a dead body in her apartment, not clear whether she killed them or somebody else killed them. She calls up Colooney to come clean it up. So we'll get into more about the plot. My thought on the title who's directing this movie? Before I do that, here's just a little bit of the Wolves trailer.

00:42:29
Speaker 3: How did you get this number? I was told not that I ever needed help to call you.

00:42:34
Speaker 2: You're a man who can fix things.

00:42:36
Speaker 3: I didn't know people like you really existed. They don't. There's nobody can do what I do.

00:42:41
Speaker 2: Who are you? I'm here to take care of your problem.

00:42:45
Speaker 3: We clearly have a situation here.

00:42:48
Speaker 1: We have decided that the only course of action is for you both to work together. No, it's not how I work.

00:42:54
Speaker 3: It's not how I work.

00:42:58
Speaker 1: So in this movie, both George Clooney and Brad Pitt play lone Wolves. Clooney gets calls out to the scene. He starts doing this thing, but then Brad Pitt shows up and then it gets a little bit more complicated and they are forced to work together. Throughout this trailer we see some more things kind of start spiraling out. They get intertwined more and more. There seems to be this CD underground of crime they get involved in, so these really bad people start coming after them. You also have new actor Austin Abrams in this movie who is in the mix of it all. Looks like he's gonna be adding some of the comedy relief. I'm just glad to see a young actor also in playing here because I think when making a movie with actors like Clooney and Pitt, which to us who have been around since the nineties have been the movie stars to the younger generation, they are probably seeing as much older actors, maybe to the point now, I mean they're both in their sixties, but kind of how we saw like a Clint Eastwood, because that's crazy to me. Clooney is sixty three and in this trailer he is as silver Fox ever and Brad Pitt is right behind him at sixty years old, although he does not look it, he could honestly pass for fifty. But yeah, dude, to sixty now, so I think to have a younger actor like Austin Abrams to kind of offset them, bring in the newer generation. He was really popular after Euphoria. He was also in a really good Netflix movie called Do Revenge with Maya Hank If you haven't checked that one out, highly recommend that one as well. But cool to see him entering this new class of Hollywood and bringing some fresh blood into a movie that I.

00:44:30
Speaker 3: Think really needs it.

00:44:31
Speaker 1: So you have these two A plus leads in this movie, and they are both really good at playing lone wolves. I think a movie's like Up in the Year from George Clooney, which is one of my favorites. George Clooney does two genres really well, rom coms and crime movies like this, that is where he just shines. Ask for Brad Pitt really don't go to him for the rom comms. He's much more of a dramatic actor for me, but also can do a little bit of comedy just because he is so charismatic. So I think the plot of this movie and just their personalities kind of mirror the characters that they are playing. And the title of this movie did stick out to me because it's called wolves wolfs, which we all know. The plural of wolf is wolves with a V. And at first I thought maybe it's a playoff of their character, since they are both lone wolves and in this trailer they do not want to team up together. Maybe it was a commentary, I thought on them not wanting to even be a unit. They didn't want to be referred to as wolves, so they had to settle that we are both singular lone wolves, so we're gonna be called wolves. But what I actually think it is a reference to is pulp fiction, which in that movie, Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta are driving they accidentally kill a guy in their back seat. They drive over to Quentin Tarantino's house, park the car in the garage and try to get his help, and they end up calling a guy who shows up and it is his job to deal with problems like this, and that guy's last name happened to be Wolf. So here's the clip of pulp fiction from ninety four.

00:46:03
Speaker 2: You're Jimmy right, this is your house?

00:46:06
Speaker 3: Sure is? I'm Winston Wolf.

00:46:08
Speaker 1: I solve problems.

00:46:10
Speaker 3: Good, we got one, so I heard I commend. Yeah, please do it.

00:46:14
Speaker 1: So I kind of feel like it is a reference to Winston Wolf from pulp Fiction, because that was his job in that movie. He was hired to go tell them how to dispose of this body and how to take care of this problem, which we all know, a profession like this, much like a hit man, doesn't really exist. It's been Hollywood putting this idea into our heads that there are people who will risk their life or risk going to prison in order to make money. Not really a thing, but in the world of cinema we like to think it is because it makes for a great movie and a great character. So I feel like that is the reason why this movie is called Wolf's. It is a pulp fiction reference. I love a good pulp fiction reference. The movie is directed by John Watts, who you probably know best as the director of the Tom Holland Spider Man movies. He did Homecoming in twenty seventeen, Far From Home in twenty nineteen, and No Way Home in twenty twenty one. He is also still attached to Spider Man four whenever that is going to happen. And I always like it when directors who have really made a name for themselves in the MCU start branching out into different adventures and do something completely different, which I think for the most part, that's why a director takes on a Marvel movie, because they know if they can do this well, they can go on to do any movie they want, because once you have some success at the box office, it's a lot easier to have a say in your vision. And you even get a little glimpse of his MCU background in the final scene of this trailer, wherever Austin Abrams is about to get run over by George Clooney who is driving this car hauling but and he jumps over the car does like this flip in slow motion. I felt like that was very much a Spider Man move. So I hope this movie has some more fun action comedy elements like that.

00:47:59
Speaker 3: And this movie is all just really banking on.

00:48:01
Speaker 1: Their star power because it has a pretty quick plot line follows two lone wolf fixers who are assigned to do the same job. Clooney Pit Wolves September twentieth and I've seen movies that have a big A list star who has been dominant for so long come out and it is welcomed with really lukewarm numbers. So I think this movie and its success at the box office is going to be a big indication on whether or not you can only rely on star power alone. I honestly think it's not enough anymore. We have so much access now to celebrities, and even our feelings towards some of these A list people have kind of faded. I think it's not enough just to have big names attached to it. You also have to have a really compelling and unique story. I think that is really what is going to inspire the next phase of cinema. We're getting away from the big superhero action movies, big names attached to them explosions. We have to take a bit of a direction into just making great movies that resonate with audiences that make us feel whether it's sad, whether it's happy, or whether it's excitement, which I think is what this movie is going for. So I think having these two names attached is really important. There are people we want to see on the big screen. But I don't think it's going to be and immediate. This is going to be successful just because we have these two actors. It's really going to rely on what they do leading up to this movie. How they start promoting it with them two together, which is what I want to see. I want that content of them two together, but also the word of mouth once it's actually out, because I think people aren't going to rush to a theater just to see these two people together. It's going to have to have something to get people excited who probably haven't been to a movie in a while, because that is the demographic you're looking at with having two really well established actors who have been around forever like Pitt and Clooney. So again, it's called Wolf's and it's coming out on September twentieth.

00:50:02
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of Movie b tram or Bar.

00:50:06
Speaker 1: And that is going to do it for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I got to give my listener shout out of the week. How do you get one of these? You can comment on my Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, which I'm trying to post a lot more content over there, mostly movie related still, but I feel like I'm in a place at TikTok where I just want to try anything and see what's working over there. Because the algorithm is so weird. People tell you you gotta only post one thing, but I'm trying out a lot of different things, like ranking movies very casually, not always just clips from the podcast. So if you don't follow me on TikTok, do me a favor and hit that link in the podcast episode notes. But for this listener shout out of the week, I'm going over to X and I'm giving out the listeners shout out of the week to Dell Schaefer, who said great podcast. I might be wrong, but I think you forgot to mention the name of number four Late Night with the Devil. This is in reference to the last week episode where I did my top five movies to stream right now at home, and to give you guys some behind the scenes of this podcast.

00:51:07
Speaker 3: I not only write.

00:51:09
Speaker 1: And put together all the ideas court it myself, and I edited myself. And sometimes when I'm sitting down here at this desk doing my editing, taking out the things I think either I went on too long about, or I messed something up, or things I feel like only I would care about you guys would think is stupid. Sometimes I take those things out. But in doing that, sometimes I take out a little bit too much, like saying the name of the movie so well, A little hard on that edit, but appreciate that Dell for letting me know I took that out of the episode. I did update it later and re upload it, so if you listen after Monday, the name of the movie was in there. But again it was Late Night with the Devil, the horror movie I talked about last week at number four. In case you missed that, my bet on that editing mistakes happened. Thank you to Dell. Thank you for right now listening to this podcast.

00:51:54
Speaker 3: Appreciate you.

00:51:55
Speaker 1: Until next time, go out and watch good movies and I will talk to you later.
