00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast, your go to source for all things movies. I'm your host Movie Mike, and joining me on today's episode is my friend and co worker, The Bobby Bones Show and Four Things with Amy Brown, the one and only Amy and I have known Amy for ten years now, but I wanted to sit down and get to know her through movies and find out things I've always wanted to ask her. We'll also do a throwback movie review a movie from two thousand four, The Terminal with Tom Hanks, so there will be some spoilers there, but the movie is ten years old. And then we'll also get into her review of watching Old Yellow, which has a really depressing ending. We'll get into all that, so without any further ado, let's get started. 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 AUDIMTV with glasses from the Nashville Podcast Networks. Movie Movie Here now with Amy of The Bobby Bones Show of Four Things with Amy Brown, and really just one of my friends from a very long time ago. Yeah, don't forget women of my heart Country Heart Country shout out outweigh your podcast um the Country Top thirty with Bobby Bell. I'm just kidding. Well, we'll stop with my my on air resume. Well, thanks for being on the podcast. I wanted to have you have you on for a while now, so oh yeah, all you gotta do is ask I'm glad I threw it out there the other day and then you texted me. You're like, you mentioned this in the studio, can you do it? And I said, of course, So here you are now now. And what I like to do with every guest is kind of get to know you through movies. So I have some questions I want to ask you. Just answer away hit me. So what was your favorite movie as a kid? Pretty Woman? As a kid, Yeah, that's not really four kids, it's a little unconventional, but at nine, I think it was not or so my parents actually took me and my sister to the theater to watch Pretty Woman. I think they had a date night scheduled around then and they couldn't find a babysitter or something, so then they just decided to take us. I think my mom was sort of against it, but my dad said, oh, it'll be fine. And I do remember them putting their hands over my eyes during multiple scenes. But a lot of this stuff was lost on me, Like I didn't know she was a prostitute, and nor did I know whenever she was giving him a variety of protection to choose from, I thought. I thought it was like a rainbow of candy, like, but no those other stuff. So uh Anyway, somehow that was one of my favorite movies as a child. So was Dirty Dancing. My sister and I would often re enact the lift scene, or at least we would try to when we'd be swimming in the pool. And then another childhood favorite is Steel Magnolias, And all of those are still my favorites to this day. Like if you sent me to an island and I could take three movies, those would be my three, and they're all from my childhood and all three great movies, and they're not all they're all not for children. I love that those are your favorite as a kid, I know, So there you have it. What about the first movie you remember going on a date to see, like in theaters. I do remember seeing Titanic when I was a junior in high school and my boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day. So his name was Zach. No idea where he is now, but that was my boyfriend. That's the first movie date I remember. I'm sure I went with like groups of friends obviously before that in junior high in high school, but I don't remember it being like a real real date anyway. There could be one I'm missing here, but Titanic probably seven. Yeah, and yeah, I just remember going on Valentine's Day. My friend Zack and I were boyfriend. Zack and I had actually gone to dinner with my dad and his wife beforehand, and we thought that was pretty awesome because my dad picked up the bill, so that was a very smart move on on our part being high schoolers and not having a lot of money, so we got a really nice Valentine's meal for free, and then we went to see Titanic. Nice. What about the most famous movie star you've ever met, movie star Nicole Kidman. I mean, that's pretty up there, I'm trying to think, and that's because, oh, Reese Witherspoon, remember when I saw our backstage then as I basically I didn't attack her but she was walking out of a door unexpectedly. I was backstage for something. Maybe Bobby was back there doing something. I don't know, but I was standing by this door and out walked Briefe Witherspoon, and I just my jaw dropped. I stayed somewhat calm because I didn't want to be, you know, a total like, yeah, I don't want to draw attention to the situation. But I I was stammering with my word, was a little bit flustered, but she was so kind. So that is one that's up there. I'm trying to think of there. I mean, George Straight technically was in Pure Country, so he is a movie star. If people have not seen Pure Country, that's another good one. That's from what maybe the nineties that you should check out. And I don't know who else has come in. Surely we've met other actors I would love to meet, like The Rock. Yeah, he's up there for me, Yeah, because I was a fan of his back when he was doing wrestling, and then to meet him now would be amazing, just because he has become like the biggest movie star now. Yeah, I would love to meet Julia roberts One. Oh, I met Sean Pinny. That's cool. I mean he's an actor, right, Yeah. Is it odd to you that I'm not that big of a Julia Roberts fan. Yes, that's odd. She's in so many great movies. In fact, if you heard of this thing that people are doing, you know how you binge a show, so like you'll binge you know, maybe a series that has come out and you watch every episode over in a row. But people are doing binging themes. You heard of that? Okay, sorry, it's new to me, but I want to do a Jowyr Roberts binge theme. So you set out to watch everything she's ever been in, whether it's a movie or a TV show. You can pick any actor you want to stick with, but that's your theme, and then you watch them all. Or you could pick weddings and then you watch every movie that's about weddings or has wedding in the title, and that's your binge theme. I think for me that would be torture to watch all Julia Roberts movies. I've just never been a fan of her. I think there's a few actresses and actors that, for some reason, there's movies that I just don't like I would be Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. Wait, you don't like Meryl Street? What's wrong with you? I don't know. Tom Cruise, are you not pumped about Top Gun too? I'm excited about it because of how crazy he is about getting things perfect and like wanting to do his own stunts and how the more so the movie making process behind that Top Gun. But as far as Tom Cruise as Top Gun again, not really uninterested in it? Wow, I have been. I'm more excited for it than I ever was because it keeps getting pushed because the COVID and all these things changed, and it's finally coming out this year, right, hopefully maybe later later this summer. Okay, you know what else? This isn't a movie, but it comes out later this year. Because I was looking it up, I was so curious is Ozark and it's going to be the final season, but I think they're doing it in two parts and at the end it'll be at the end of the year, they'll do part one and then rolling into next year we'll be part two. So I would be down for Ozark the movie if they ever want to do it, Like Sex in the City. That was a TV show that was awesome, and then they put out three movies and maybe they're working on the fourth, but Kim Cattrall is not going to be in It's not I love Sex in the City. I went to see I think Sex in the City. The first movie is the first ever rated AR movie. I snuck into because I wanted to watch it so badly. Oh wow, interesting fun fact that I didn't know about you. Okay, who would you rather have play you in a movie? Carrie Russell or Candice Cameron Beret. Oh that's hard. Uh, I don't know. I guess Candice Camera because I follow her on Instagram, so I feel like I know her more personally. You think she could get your character down. I almost met Candice Cameron, speaking of peep actors or actresses that we've met. She was hosting I Heart Country Fest with Bobby and I got so close to her, but she was working, so I never officially got the introduction. They were so busy. But I do have a picture of me with her. Technically We're in a crowd and I'm standing near her and I'm giving her the crazy eyes like I'm like stalking her. But I do. We do have a photo together. I think I have a similar picture because I was afraid to say anything, but we were around the same city. If she hadn't have been working and it was backstage, I feel like I would have maybe done what I did with Reese Witherspoon. But when someone's in work mode, you definitely don't want to interrupt their vibe. It's also one of those scenarios where you're like, you think there'll be like an opportunity to take a picture with him. You're like, hey, we're here, like we're here for hours. For sure that opportunity would come up. And you know, Bobby, one of our dearest friends, is co hosting with her Shirley Hill, arrange a picture. No, it never happened. What about what's the favorite your favorite movie you've watched with your daughter? Let's see, gosh, what is something we recently watched? Have you seen that movie about I? Only this isn't my favorite that I've watched her, but it is her favorite movie. In fact, I asked her this question like the other day. If you can only watch one movie for the rest of your life, and she chose this movie, you might have to search up what it is. Um, it's like Bram the Boy. It's like this boy that got turned into a doll and then he's like this scary doll that can move around and do things. Katie Holmes or the second one, what's it called. It's called The Boy. The Boy. I've seen the first one, which is really creepy. I haven't seen the second one. So she says the second one is better, and that is the movie that she wants to watch if she could only watch one movie for the rest of her life. And my daughter is so literal, like she doesn't really play games like that. Well, she's like, mom, that's not possible. It will never be to where I can only watch one movie the rest of my life. I know, I say, hypothetically, this is a game. So she went with The Boy and yeah, Katie Holmes is in the second one, and I thought it was very creepy. It's not really scary, it's just creepy. Yeah. So I mean, if you want to if some people are like, well, why did you let your daughter watch that? First of all, scary movies is her genre, Like that is her favorite thing to do, Like she loves anime and scary movies. Now with um probably both of my kids. We I loved watching with them like Coco and Finding Nemo and Toy Story and those are always really fun. Oh and another one we love like just as a family are any of the Avenger movies. And since I picked one with just my daughter, I'll pick one with just my son. That would be Black Panther. Yeah. What did that movie mean for him to kind of like see a superhero like, hey actually looks like me. Yeah. My children are adopted to their Haitian and I think that I don't know he really connected. He's he's ten, but even just you know, emotionally and cognitively, he's not quite ten because he grew up in an orphanage and then came here. So I don't know that the whole concept is sunk in with him on really just how super cool that is to have a black superhero to look up to. But I do think that he identified with his skin color, like he knows that much at least, and we try to have uh hard, you know, the tough conversations really talking about the reality of that and how cool it is. Um. So, I mean, as a parent, I'm super thankful for it. Yeah, I'm still waiting for the Mexican superhero. You don't have one yet yet? Okay, yeah, we need to do that. Come on, let's get with it. So for you, what's your just overall favorite movie series? Like multiple movies okay to come to mind right away, Okay, adventures all of those, like We're I'm there for every single one always, and Fast and the Furious, which I know sounds kind of cheesy, but I get it. The movies are well just that they're cheesy, but I've seen every single one and I'm excited to see the next one. And that's what we're going to do for your birthday. Yeah there, that's why I picked that movie. I thought like everybody could get something from it, even if you haven't even seen since the very beginning. They really don't follow a plotline that you need to follow along to. Yeah, you're good. But also they're just big fun movies, and I was trying to pick something that you could just sit down and watch and have fun. And I think that's why those movies have done so well, because they are just ridiculous. But um, what we're gonna do next. We're gonna do a throwback movie review and since this movie came out over ten years ago. I'm excited because we can spoil the ending. Okay, so we're gonna get full. That is the rule ten years, I know I have. I've tried not to spoil anything because unfortunately, by accident on the Bobby Bones Show, I have spoil things and it is not a good feeling because people don't let you live that down and they get very upset with you. And so I kind of just don't really talk about endings from anything, even if it's from years ago. I don't want to ruin anything and get in trouble. Yeah. Well, the rule on this podcast has always been ten years. So if you haven't seen this movie, but so I have permission, permission to ruin away. All right, So let's talk about a movie you just watched recently with Tom Hanks called The Terminal. First of all, why did you watch this movie now? Okay, Well, because it just uploaded to Netflix the first of June. So that's why. I mean, I had thought I knew what Terminal was about, and quite honestly, I thought maybe back in the day I had seen it, just because I you know, in my head, I'm like, yeah, Tom, Cruise lives in a terminal. Yeah, I just But then when I actually watched it, because it popped up on my next Netflix feed and this year it was added. So I know, it seems weird to watch a movie from two thousand four randomly, but when something new was added to Netflix, it's kind of awesome and makes you want to check it out. So I did, and I couldn't have been more off on the plot at all. Tom Cruise isn't even American. Not Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks isn't even American. He is from another country, and he kind of gets stuck in this weird limbo at the airport coming through customs because his country is at war and his passport is no longer valid and they don't know what to do with them, but he can't enter the United States and so they just kind of throw him into the terminal with some food coupons and then the story unfolds from there. So what did you think about Tom Hanks is acting a billion this because he's playing I thought it was amazing, you know. I thought it was totally fantastic, especially considering that he was having to speak another language and he did it so well, and then even kind of being this person that's stuck in this world and you're learning new things and kind of how he I totally bought it, like I bought into that Tom Cruise was that person and another thing that I searched up after I watched it. I didn't realize that that movie is based on a true story from an airport in Paris where someone lived in the terminal there. Do you think you could live in a terminal? I mean, actually, there's food, they're shopping, there's people watching. I mean, yeah, he formed relationships, there's work, there's opportunities, you got jobs. I mean there's bathrooms. So yes, I do think I could live in a terminal. You've ever been delayed for a flight? Oh, I feel pretty lucky. I've had to do an overnight before that. It wasn't originally planned, but that was my own doing. I missed the flight by a couple of minutes, and you know what, I wasn't even late to the airport. I actually got to the airport like pretty early, but I was over at Starbucks and the line was long, and I still thought I had plenty of time. And by the time I got over to the gate. The woman was like, we already gave away your seat and I was going to Haiti and I said, you're joking. I had my Starbucks in my hand and I'm like all these things, and I said, I've been here, I have been here. Actually what happened was, now that I'm remembering the exact story, I had already done an overnight, so I spent the night to catch an early flight. Then was it Starbucks? Then I had to sit at the airport for hours to get a later flight in the day to get there at night. So I would have gotten to Haiti early in the morning. But that's why I spent the night to wake up and take an early flight in Florida, and then I never even made it. So mine, yeah, I do think. Yeah, I've had to do an overnight as well, just based on weather or something. But that's probably the longest. So back to the movie. The whole thing is him living in the airport deciding whether he's gonna go back home or go to New York City. And then we get to the ending. How did you feel about it? Oh? I felt very emotional. Yeah, it's an emotional ending. It is, so there's funny parts and there's really sad parts all scattered throughout the beginning, middle and end. I felt a variety of emotions. And then when he finally gets to go, they decided to let him go to New York City. My little Indian friend, like that's who there's there's a character in there from India and uh, that just was like a very selfless special moment. I'll let people see it. I don't want to totally spoil it, but it was just that is what true sacrifice in a sense looks like for someone that you've you care about. Do you remember the first time you went to New York City? I do? I do. Did you have that feeling of like what is this place? Yeah? I was in college and I was so excited to go. I'm trying to think if I had So here's the thing. I've road tripped. I've driven from Austin to New York City. It took days, that would take forever. Yes. So my friend that I grew up with, his name is Craig Fuller. Shout out I we I've known him since I was a kid, Like he's like a brother to me, although I have not talked to him in years, which now I'm like, I probably should reach out to him and see what's going on. But growing up obviously at this point, I think I'm probably like, you know, twenty years old or so. And at some point during our college career, he decided he was going to go to some college in Queens and he got an apartment in Queen's, New York, and his mom was super worried about him making the trek up there by himself. Our parents were friends. Again, he's like a brother to me, so his mom, she's the one that reached out to me and she was like, hey, can you do me a favor and can you drive to New York with Craig. And it's probably like the only guy that I would feel comfortable going into. I had like a couple of guy friends that I grew up with, so maybe he's not the only one. There's a few from our neighborhood that I would feel comfortable. Because we had to get like hotel rooms. His parents they hooked it up though they got me my own hotel. They got me. But to be in the car for the someone is a very long time. That's like not a boyfriend, just like a friend that's a boy and Yeah, we made the drive and it was amazing, and I think that that was my first time going. And then after that that year because now we had a free place to stay because I had a friend that had an apartment in Queen's uh My, some of my college friends and I we flew up to New York and would just hang out for like the weekend and we went like three times that year. So that was my introduction to New York and I yes, I remember walking around the city and because we were staying in Queens which at the time, I don't know if it's gotten better and the time wasn't necessarily like the safest place, but hey. And also fun fact about my left shoulder, I have like a weird pain in my shoulder that's never healed quite right. It's actually super tender. Um. But I was on a morning jog in Queen's super safe by myself, um, during one of my visits to him see him, and I tripped on the sidewalk and fell and landed on my left shoulder and probably definitely have sought medical attention. Bigger than I was in college and not the most responsible and with that, so I got up kept running and I remember getting home and like was going to shower and like taking off my sports brawl and it being the most painful process and I had to like finagle my way out of it because my left arm would not like raise to a certain position because my shoulder, and it's still an injury to this day, what like twenty some twenty years later or so, And that happened my first trip to New York, or one of my trips during that year that I first went when I was twenty. So the last thing I want to talk to you about you Sorry, that was a really long answer to your question. You're good, I got to learn that story. I'm sure people have tuned out by now. So the last thing I wanted to talk to you about is you also just watched Old Yellow, which has one of the most depressing endings to a movie of all time. Yeah, I did. I did not want to watch that at all. It was assigned to me by Bobby. You were forced to watch it. Did that ending wreck you? Yes? It was awful. I mean I want to say I'm wrecked by it, but it is the most Yeah, it's the most traumatic ending to a movie for like that I can think of, like especially if you're a child. I think that movie is the reason I've never had a dog. Really, I remember we watched that movie in like elementary school. Why are they showing that to school students, I don't know. I remember watching it in elementary school and when that scene happened, and I remember thinking like, I never want to get a dog. I don't want to go through that, and just the thought of having a dog and then knowing the whole time that they're going to die at some point, I was like, not for me, and I've never had a dog. Yeah, no, I don't blame you. If I had seen that as a kid, I would be scarred as well. And I get that it's a classic tale, I mean maybe from the fifties. It's like, I get it. You're supposed to like read the book. It's supposed to be some great thing, but I don't know, it's just so so sad. Well. I think also for me is like growing up, I learned a lot of things from movies that my parents didn't teach me, and I think that movie did kind of help, like, hey, here's the scenario we had to deal with grief. They're presenting it to kids. Maybe don't have parents and tell them things like that or experience that for themselves. So a lot of things I learned from movies. That one not so great though. Yeah, I don't even know how the dad wrapped it up at the end, was like the best advice on how to I'm not quite sure, but I mean, it was the fifties, so we've progressed in a lot of ways. Didn't make you cry at all. I didn't cry because I was just I honestly was multitasking while I was watching it, trying to get it done, and had it on my computer, carrying it from room to room as I was doing things, So I think I was just taking it in. I did feel it on a level because I mean I looked over at my dog was by my side, my sweet little Cora, my labordoodle that was with me, and I just thought, I imagined for a second, maybe you know, if I was forced to even do something like that to her, I don't even know that I would be able to do it. I mean, and the fact that a little boy had to step up and do that. I think I said it on the Bobby Bones Show, but I don't know, did I or think get in my head. Sometimes I never know if I say things out loud. But my college boyfriend shot his dog, I don't think said that, Oh my gosh, Like I mean, it was because he wanted to be the one to do They were going to take it to the vet and the vet was going to put the dog down or he could do it, and he did it, and it it wrecked him. But maybe I never asked why he did it before we started dating, but it would still come up like it was a traumatic thing for him where I mean he cried over it later dating and it was very hard, but it was like he felt that was his dog and it was his responsibility because the dog was going to get put down anyway. But I get that at a vet they probably do it in a very like like my dog Josie are Rottwiler that we had for ten years. She had cancer and the vet advised us to put her down, so we got to be there for the process. But it was very um you know, so the he's full for Josie, they put her to sleep. I like how you put that. I feel like that's a better method than like taking care of it yourself. But I guess that's just what he felt that he needed to do. And I don't know. I'm sure that's something he still carries with him to this day. And now I'm wondering if it's because he freaking saw Old Yeller as a kid and that's what he felt like was the right thing he needed to do. What. I wonder if that's what it is too late now I can't like reach out to him and be like, hey, so you know he's like married with kids. I'm married. Hey, long time, no talk, But why did you decide to do that? Man? Now I'm thinking it might because Old Yeller. We have some things to dig up. I mean, he was an English major and loved literature and reading books like I wonder if that really did come from the book? Yeah, intense deep thoughts. Well, I didn't want to end an oppressing note. Well you brought up Old Yeller. How did you think we didn't know what we're going to get to? A story of your boy? They're easly depressive, I mean true, But what about I think of time early on we kind of bonded over movies. Is whenever the Hunger Games movies came out. Yes, one of the first times we really kind of spent time together, like work was making the trailer and editing that together. Yeah. So I had some wild idea in two thousand and twelve when the trailer came out that we would all re enact it verbatim. Scene first scene. There's not a scene that we left out from the intro, like graphics all that. There's a train scene and yeah, I busted out my niece or my nephews like train set and films like footage. There's a helicopter scene and we got like a toy helicopter or like a what's it called, like a remote control helicopter, and it flew over me and Bobby. Um. I had characters assigned, like my dad was President Snow, my sister was Effie Trinkett, my niece was prim I was Captiness. Of course course Bobby played Peter and Gail. We just did a wig change. I mean I went to Goodwill, I got all the costumes. Bobby pretty much said, okay, well I'll do it. Because I had interns involved, which you were an intern at wasn't right, and uh we had all you know, Ray and Lunchbox where the now I can't even think of what they were called. But the security people peacekeepers there you go, peacekeepers. Hey, shout out true fan there um. And we my dad did like craft services like we had, you know, which is if you work on a movie set or any kind of TV set, they have what they call craft services, which is just the food setup where you can go eat. And so we even called it that because we were real actors that day, and I remember my mom came over and helped. So that's a super special memory for me because even like looking back and being able to watch that sometimes I I posted it on Instagram before. It's not like I'm going back and watching it all the time. But I do remember, like you and I going to like Boulder Cafe or something or Boulder Creek in Austin and working on the edits and trying to get it just right. And I filmed it like we all we filmed with different cameras, like on our flip cams. Back in those flip cams. Yes, Bobby gifted those to us one year for Christmas or something, and then that year we had to all on the show upload a YouTube video a week, like it was a requirement. So we were constantly doing video content. Thankfully. That's changed a little bit, but even I got good at eyemovie and now I who knows, it's been so long, I haven't been able to figure it out. But yes, that Hunger Games trailer is legit. We should put that up somewhere. It was on YouTube, but then we had to remove it. I think maybe I added it on a YouTube page that I have somehow I have it because I know I put it on my Instagram. I had to put it in I g t V because it's too long for like, so if you go to my i G t V, it's it's there as well. And also remember back in the day we to the Silent Film Festival. Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, if you talked about my movie it won it did? I feel like this is Mike D's movie podcast, so it needs to be mentioned that so an award short film. It was based on When the Artist came out a year and one best Picture. Bobby told us we should that. Yeah, the Artist came out, which is a black and white silent movie one best Picture, and the whole idea was to create a Silent Film festival, so everybody had to go and create their own in years one. Yeah, my film was called bacon. Bacon bacon, yes, And I don't even know how I came up with that concept because it's so out there and wild. But in a nutshell, this is also my I g t V at Radio Amy if you want to check it out. But I got I love to eat bacon. But while I was pregnant, so you know, when you're pregnant, you crave things, and I was craving bacon like crazy. And then next thing you know, I'm giving birth in my car because we didn't make it to the hospital in time, and I give birth to a baby pig, a little pig. Yeah. I went out to a little pig farm and borrowed these little micro or teacup piglets, which they grow into big pigs. Don't be fooled by that at all. I saw their moms. I'm like, these are cute as little tiny babies, but these are gonna grow big. And then I gave birth to the pig. And then I realized that my baby is what makes bacon. So then I became an advocate for my baby, and I started protesting bacon. I went to the grocery store and stood in front of the bacon aisle. I made. Um. I went to Lucy and Disguise and Austin and I got a cow costume and a pig costume and lunch boxes the pig and softball. Ricky was the cow or vice versa. Actually, I take it back. Ricky was the pig and lunch Box was the cow. And we were Ricky and I were on the street corner holding up a sign saying eat eat more beef, don't eat bacon, and then lunch boxes the cow, and he came up and started beating us up because he was like, no, don't eat the beef, eat the vacan and thought you were actually protesting, yes, and it was this whole thing like it was. Um. I think there was a restaurant in Austin at the time call Bacon, and we went and my protested outside of that. So that was my short silent film, that one first place directorial debut. H Well, I don't know. I decided to end on a high, like you know, I wanted to uh in that on top sot a silent film since then. But yeah, that was the year of a lot of videos. That was the That was the flip cam era of the Bobby Bone Show. Was the also you know what that was a part of two is Bobby did that thing one year where we all kept track of different segments that we did that like kind of did really good and we ever had the most good segments at the end of the year. One a thousand dollars And he gave my mom a thousand dollars at the beginning, and he's like, Judy's gonna hold onto this, So my mom deposited into her bank accounts. That way, the thousand dollars was there and nobody was going to touch it, and then my mom would pay the winner, and ironically I won, so my mom paid me. But there was nothing shady there at all. She was. My mom was very We called her Popo. Her nickname was Popo because she was like strict, like the police, like she followed the rules to a t. And Popo paid me my thousand dollars because at the end of the year I had the most tallies by my name. Yeah, we had that big board with everybody's marks that was your lunch box ran the marathon. It was so he got some major points for that. I mean, think of all the content that came out of that. I'd never want to do that again, do not bring this up to Bobby, but uh, like I just don't have I don't think any of us have the bandwidth at the time. For like back then our lives we were all just young and around and running around dedicated to all that. I mean, hopefully we still bring good stuff to the show, but gosh, they did not have time to get thing today. Well, Amy, you do it all. You direct short films, you host podcast, you host radio shows. Thanks for being on the podcast. Well, thank you for having me. This is so fun. Okay, bye, all right to just a quick bit of movie news that I wanted to share with you too, is that Paramount Plus will be offering a free trial for a quiet place too. So this is the movie I've really been waiting to see now, and it was kind of the deciding factor of me getting Paramount Plus back when it launched. I got lucky and got in early at a discounted rate. But among all the other streaming services, it's the most affordable, and I think maybe right now it doesn't have as much as everybody else, but I think it'll get there. That's why I'm kind of hanging with the Paramount Plus at least for this first year that I have it. But I think this is a pretty big incentive to get Paramount Plus because I was saying here, once they start having some of the movies they've kind of teased, I think there'll be a little bit of competition. They'll have some big movies. The only thing that's not the best about them right now is they do wait a while to put them out. I think it's about a month and a half, so Quiet Place Too has been out for a while now, but starting on July it will be available on Paramount Plus and then you can get that three months trial, which I like it a lot because I'm into the old nineties Nickelodeon cartoon shows and I really like just when I want to turn my brain off, watch like Rocco's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, even a little bit of Rugrats, Like that's what I like to kind of sit down and watch sometimes. So I really like Paramount Plus for that. They also have things like the I Carly reboot, which I've also been watching and enjoying, so it's a little bit more of the nostalgia trip right now. I am gonna wait to see a Quiet Place when I can see it at home. So I'm kind of looking forward to that experience because I think the first one so much of that was going to see it in the theater and it being so quiet in a room with a bunch of people. I'm want to see if it translates to the home view. I think this is kind of my test because it's been doing really well, people says. People have said that John Krasinski has basically made a follow up sequel that lived up to the hype. So I'll see if that kind of transfers into the home experience. So if you want to get it on that free trial, So if you're not already subscribe and you want to get that free month, the code is movies and this isn't a plug, and this isn't a commercial or anything. I'm just trying to help you guys out if you want a free trial or something, which I am always looking for you, and then you gotta remember to cancel it if you don't like it. But if you do, just know there's more movies coming there. Also in movie news is that the Black Panthers sequel has started filming in Atlanta. They said the process has been pretty emotional without Chadwick Boseman there, but they're trying to make a movie that would make him proud, and really the plot details are still kind of under wrapped to keep everything so secretive. But I'm really excited to see the Black Panther sequel, not only because I want to see how they kind of continue the legacy of the movie without Chadwick Boseman, but also just like I think it's one of the strongest Marvel movies of the entire franchise that's really stood on its own, So I think they have a lot to live up there. They have a lot they have to do to kind of pay their respects to Chadwan Bozeman and keep it kind of interesting for everybody to want to stick with Black Panther. So I'm excited for that one as well. And this is right on that kind of the heels of Marvel getting back into the swing of things with Black Widow coming out soon. It's kind of interesting to see a Scarlett Johanson out now doing interviews saying it's kind of weird to say goodbye to this character. She's been playing the Black Widow forever, it seems like, so it's kind of the end of another era. Too, so I'm still not fully back excited for everything Marvel, even though I'm such a big fan. But I think there's some stuff coming up soon that hopefully we'll get back into the swing of that of having a constant Marvel movie out for a while. But that'll do it for this week. Before I hop out of here, I gotta get my shout out of the week, which you do every single week. All you have to do is send me a tweet at Mike Destro, dm me on Instagram or leave a comment on my Facebook page, Facebook dot com slash Mike Destro. And this one's actually a tweet from We are k Y Pod and they said Mike Distro just proved a movie studios and movie celebrities everywhere. Movie mis movie podcast must be on every studio and movie celebrities must do interview list. So this meant a lot to me, mainly because I've been trying to incorporate more interviews and I don't really see myself as a great interviewer. I think I come up with interesting questions that I like to ask people that I've always wanted to know about movies. So my only rule kind of when I find interviews is I gotta be a fan of their work and want to ask them genuine questions. I don't really go just seeking out anybody when it comes to interviews. And also what I think you guys would actually enjoy listening to. So I got a lot of great comments and messages about last week's interview with some of the original cast of Willy Wonka. So if you miss that one, go check that one out. I think that's a pretty good nostalgia trip. If that was one of your favorite movies as a kid, it's cool just getting to hear the behind the scenes from them. So if you miss that episode, you can go one back and listen to that interview. Appreciate everybody for listening today. I hope you had some time off this weekend. I got to enjoy a little bit, maybe watch some movies. If you saw anything good, just send me a tweet at Mike Destro what you're watched or what you think I should watch. Next interview on the podcast And until next time Later
