Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I am your host, Movie Mike, joined by my wife and cost Kelsey. How are you.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm overly caffeinated on accident.

00:00:08
Speaker 1: I'm not caffeinated enough. I need to drink another one right after this, I need to drink more water. I'll get into a movie review of Scream, which I went to go watch by myself. I can't believe they made seven of these movies.

00:00:17
Speaker 3: Hey, you want to watch that? And I had the house to myself to watch the Pit and Needle Point.

00:00:21
Speaker 2: It's kind of nice.

00:00:22
Speaker 1: And in the trailer park, I'm going to break down toy story five and how they're.

00:00:27
Speaker 2: What he's bald spot? Yeah, what he's getting old? I mean we're all getting old. What did I say earlier at the container store? Oh the pill boxing pillcase?

00:00:34
Speaker 3: It lights up and you know you're in your thirties when you open and you go, this is cool.

00:00:40
Speaker 1: I thought it was.

00:00:41
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

00:00:41
Speaker 1: But thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies podcast Network Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. All right, kicking us off, what was the best thing you saw in February in your opinion.

00:01:00
Speaker 3: Obviously it was a movie starring Glenn Powell, How to Make a Killing.

00:01:03
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that movie tanked.

00:01:05
Speaker 2: I'm not.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: I don't feel like there was much marketing around it either, because the.

00:01:09
Speaker 1: Plot is great. It is like a remake. But I just I feel like how massive he is as a celebrity. I'm surprised that doesn't translate always into box office numbers because he's such a good actor. It's not a bad movie, it's a great movie. Well, I feel like it's the genre. Like I kind of feel like people only want him in like a rom com or he kind of action You think he kind of well Running Man didn't do that well either.

00:01:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:01:34
Speaker 2: That was also a remake.

00:01:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe too many remakes.

00:01:36
Speaker 2: Maybe the remakes aren't working.

00:01:37
Speaker 1: Do you think he should have committed more to the rom com? I almost know, No, why not?

00:01:43
Speaker 2: Because then he never would have done Twisters.

00:01:45
Speaker 1: I almost feel like actors now are more strategic about not being typecast.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking of like examples, because.

00:01:52
Speaker 1: He could have crushed it. He could have done he could have done anyone, but you too. He could have.

00:01:56
Speaker 2: Set it up to I'll take a set complee underrated Glynn movie. It's so good.

00:02:01
Speaker 1: I think people don't realize how hard he's been working for as long as he has yes where it feels like he's really starting to pop off now because he's in all these big roles. But he's been in so much in the last fifty maybe not fifteen years, but at least the last decade of really good, solid movies that he's put in the work. But to some people just feel like he came out of nowhere. But I feel like he has a really good track history of just giving us good movies.

00:02:27
Speaker 3: I think people think that about everyone though. They're like, you just came out of nowhere, and it's like they've been working. Maybe you just haven't seen it, but they've been working.

00:02:34
Speaker 1: Same thing with Pedro Pascal, like he kind of came and then was in every single movie last summer, and I feel like people thought, man, he's just in everything now, But he's been consistent since the Game of Thrones.

00:02:44
Speaker 3: You know who's been in a lot that could go away. Sidney Sweeney, she could go away.

00:02:48
Speaker 1: I'm still excited for Euphoria though.

00:02:50
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but that's more Zendaia. I feel like I know she's in it, but Zendeia is the star.

00:02:55
Speaker 1: Yeah when it comes to her movies. Ah, but the Housemaid though she has a franch right there, she could do because there are multiple books of that, right.

00:03:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's already gonna do.

00:03:06
Speaker 1: I found that movie entertaining.

00:03:07
Speaker 2: I liked it, but because of Amanda say Red.

00:03:09
Speaker 1: But I still think with her part of that franchise, that could be her franchise.

00:03:16
Speaker 3: Fine, so that was your best, yeah, how to make a killing. I was very entertained. I was not bored ever, didn't even want to get up to go to the bathroom. It had like dark humor.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: For my best of February, I'm gonna go with Send Help, which going into that movie, you didn't know if you were going to like it or not because it's classified as a horror movie. But it was a lot more campy, more of us suspense thriller, and all the horror elements were very over the top and even like the blood and guts graphic scenes. Yeah, but it was more it wasn't as realistic correct, and I feel like when stuff is more realistic, that's when it freaks you out. A little bit more like if it's a.

00:03:52
Speaker 3: Saw, yes, how much, just like gunshots and like that sort of.

00:03:56
Speaker 1: Stuff which the headshot in movies has just become so normal now, it's so shocking that I find myself to feel more and more uncomfortable when I get worried about a character like man, I don't want to see them die.

00:04:08
Speaker 3: Well, I just don't like it. Just I don't like the sound, and it's in so many movies.

00:04:12
Speaker 1: I think there's also an element of experiencing that in a theater now, where it gets so loud. I don't know. Sometimes it just makes me a little bit uncomfortable, maybe just because what's going on in the world at any given time that it kind of puts you a little bit on edge. I enjoy the filmmaking aspect of it because it does bring emotion out in you, but sometimes I don't like that feeling little too real. I feel like getting you on board to go see it and not totally hate it was a big win.

00:04:41
Speaker 3: I hadn't seen a single movie in a month, so I didn't see anything in January. There's nothing good out, so I think I was just itching go back to the movies.

00:04:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just really enjoyed it, and I feel like it brought back, in a good way a fun theater experience, where for me it's really hard when people recommend a movie to me that's just fun. So for my rating on that one, I gave it a four out of five, which I think was the second highest of the month. But we'll get into that a little bit later.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: What about your worst It's gotta be crime one on one?

00:05:08
Speaker 1: Really? Yes, the Chris Hemsworth, halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo.

00:05:12
Speaker 3: Plotless film that had so many different character arcs didn't need to be included.

00:05:18
Speaker 2: Was I entertained? Sure, It's still the worst I saw this month because it had no plot.

00:05:22
Speaker 1: That was the weird part about it is I was entertained the entire time, but by the end of it don't want to ruin it, but by the end of it, I was like, what was the purpose of that?

00:05:30
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. What was the point? Why was this movie made?

00:05:33
Speaker 1: So what the movie was about? You had it?

00:05:36
Speaker 2: Not a plot?

00:05:37
Speaker 1: What's a description? There's three individuals and one crime connects them all. Chris Hemsworth is like an elusive thief who is plotting a big heist. Halle Berry is unhappy with their job, and Mark Ruffalo is obsessed with finding Chris Hemsworth's character. So it's how all their lives intertwine, all revolving one heist, and then you have a lot of random intentions that don't really make sense throughout the movie. I feel like it was trying to be more sophisticated than it was, and I think that's why the plot ended up not working for me, where I was like, where did this even go? But still somehow so entertaining all the way throughout.

00:06:18
Speaker 2: I think I kept waiting for it to have like.

00:06:21
Speaker 1: A moment or like a hook or something.

00:06:23
Speaker 3: They kind of and I know they were all connected, but I was waiting for that like final thread to reveal itself or be pooled, and it just wasn't. I think there's a lot of stuff left on the cutting room floor, which is like how is their stuff left?

00:06:34
Speaker 2: Because it was over two hours.

00:06:36
Speaker 1: I also think that they kind of changed Chris Hamsworth's character from beginning to end in a bad way where I feel like movies have to have this. You have to know the intentions of every single character in their morale, and they're like ethics and like what they will do and what they won't do, and what makes them the way they are. I feel like they didn't have that with all the characters, where it was like, Okay, he's going to do this this way. He's going to be so meticulous about every single crime he plots out. His whole thing is he doesn't leave behind any evidence, he doesn't hurt anybody, and then by the end of the movie he doesn't really hold true to all the things he was in the beginning. It just feels like at the end they were just like, yeah, let's just do whatever. Let's just try to make an entertaining ending, and let's just have things go off the rails because we think that'd be the best way to close out this movie.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: It almost felt like they brought in like a different writer midway.

00:07:24
Speaker 1: It was like yeah, it was almost like they split directors, Like all right, somebody else finished this thing.

00:07:28
Speaker 2: It's like two different films.

00:07:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still but still entertaining. It's like, I wouldn't tell people not to watch it, which is weird because I think I don't think we got any benefit of seeing it in theaters. I think you could watch it at home and have the same experience. So as much as I question all the intentions of the film and the decisions they made with all the characters, I would still encourage people to kind of make your own judgment on it whenever it comes to streaming.

00:07:55
Speaker 2: And you can multitask while watching it.

00:07:57
Speaker 1: There's not that crazy Walline throughout that. For my worst of February, I'm gonna go with I can only imagine two And I feel bad about it. Why because I got to meet Milo, who you know from.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls, This is Us all of his roles.

00:08:14
Speaker 1: I only know him from This is Us really, And when you were like Gilmore Girls instantly, honestly, I didn't even know he was in that.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you asked me.

00:08:21
Speaker 3: You were like, oh, do you know, like, do you remember Vintimilia from This Is Us? And I was like, do you mean Jess Mariano from Gilmore Girls? Yes, I'm aware.

00:08:29
Speaker 1: How prominent was he in that show? Was he huge? So he wasn't just like a one season type Carrien? Oh ah, yeah, I no idea.

00:08:37
Speaker 2: He was one of.

00:08:38
Speaker 3: Rory's boyfriends and so many you know the discourse of when people are like team Dean, team Jess, Team Logan, have you ever heard any of that discourse?

00:08:46
Speaker 1: No from Gilmore girls, Yes, no, those like.

00:08:48
Speaker 3: Her three boyfriends throughout the show, and you are like very in a camp of which team you are now?

00:08:55
Speaker 1: I remember when we went to Universal in Los Angeles, we drove by like the set. Was it the gazebo? Yes, that's what it was. And it's one of those shows I've seen random episodes because it was one of those just broadcast TV shows that was on and I rewatch it and I would catch it and then you rewatch it in the fall. But it's not one that if you quiz me on any plot lines of any characters, that I would even fully get. I knew him primarily from This is Us.

00:09:22
Speaker 2: A great role phenomenal.

00:09:24
Speaker 1: I know he was in Heroes, but I don't really remember him in that show.

00:09:27
Speaker 3: It was huge in that too, that was right after Gilmore. That was like his Gilmore than Heroes. Then This is Us, and.

00:09:34
Speaker 1: I think I felt bad for not enjoying this movie after I met him and he was like a really nice guy. For those who don't know, I also produced a podcast called the Bobby Cast, and I am always the one who goes and gets the guests and not every time do people want to have a conversation with me. I don't think anything of it, but like instantly, I just felt like he was like just a genuinely nice person who like started talking to me like he knew me, and he was just so nice.

00:09:59
Speaker 3: For There's a lot about people too, about how they treat anyone else who is not the main person involved in any type of entity.

00:10:09
Speaker 1: And I think it was because he was arguably one of the most famous people we've ever had, just because he's been in TV for so long. Even though, like I've been mentioning, I'm not the biggest fan of all these projects, I understood the magnitude of where he is. Yeah, and for somebody to be that famous, that recognizable, to be that nice, You're like, why can't everybody else me this nice? Not saying that we've had a bunch of people who are jerks, but.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: But I feel like it's always the people.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: I mean, you've talked before, You've said that, like Dolly Parton's one of the nicest people. Garth Brooks, Like, I think people that are of that level get to that level because they are genuine and they are kind to everyone, and it's not an act. It's not a I'm only nice people to get where I want. But it's just like that's who they are as people, and that is how they've gotten to where they are because they're kind to everyone.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: I think that's how you stay at the top of being that yeah, to be that genuine and it has to be who you are as a person, because if it's an act, it's going to run out. It's just crazy to me that the I don't want to say, the worst people I've encountered with, the people who have been the less give a crap about my type of role are always the people who just have like are just starting out in their success or maybe have a little bit of success and they feel like they're a lot bigger than they are in reality.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: I think that the people like Milo, like you imagine all the projects he's probably ever like auditioned for it, and he's probably lost some big ones. And I think it's the people that have gone through the ups and downs of success that have a better perspective and know that like any entity in Hollywood or a podcast is made up of a bunch of people, and like, you need to be nice, Like have you seen that video going around with the coach from UCLA asking his players, like, what's the name of the person who claims today? What's the name of the people who make your breakfast in the morning, And he's like, you know, every single person's name in this building. He's like, that's an order, Like they are part of our team. They're not cooking just for you, They're not after you. They are a part of this organization. And so I think that that mindset that no one is beneath you. And I think sometimes when people are starting out they get a little full of them yepes.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: And they always come back around too, if they have a long career where they're like, oh, yeah, I should have been nicer to people, And it's kind of you learn from experience and by having the negative effects of treating people that way, that if you end up having success, you kind of come back around to like, yeah, I should treat everybody a little bit nicer, or unless you're just a jerk.

00:12:27
Speaker 3: But I think the longevity in people like Milo, because I mean Gilmore Girls started in two thousand.

00:12:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was on the Fresh Prince of bel Air in the nineties. He's been around forever.

00:12:38
Speaker 3: So it's like I think those people who have been through the ups and downs of success and know like how fleeting. It's like you probably did Gilmore's and gilmore Girls and them was like, well, I get another project, and then Heroes was big, and then it's like, well, I get another big TV project and you get this is us.

00:12:52
Speaker 2: So it's like it's never guaranteed.

00:12:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, with actors, I think some people don't realize how much they have to fight for every single job and how it's not guaranteed. Where I try to be more considerate of when I see somebody do a role that I'm like, really, I'm like, well, they have a big team, they have a family to feed. Sometimes it's just a paycheck.

00:13:13
Speaker 3: Chris Im sort of talked about that recently, about doing films that maybe aren't like the hardest role or like the biggest storyline or like the most in depth acting career, but he's like, I have a dad with Alzheimer's to care for. I have a family, I have children, and like, in the same way that a lot of us go to work some days not wanting to go to work like it's a job, it's a paycheck, and I know that there's a lot of discourse around like celebrities being rich, and I feel like there's been a bunch of discourse recently with like gofund means for James Vanderbeek and Eric Dane. But it's like, I don't think that they're all Sure, are a lot of them better off than most people, Yes, but are they rolling in it so much that like medical bills don't affect them at all, And I don't think that's the case.

00:13:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think some people don't realize that just because somebody was famous in the nineties or had a big role in the two thousands, that they're set for life, because I think some of these Hollywood jobs we see as being like they fully made it. Some of these people didn't make a whole lot of money off those shows. Or you don't realize that some shows that may be so impactful through really cutting through pop culture, sometimes they were only on like three seasons, and you're like, that'd be like you having a job for three years and then you live the rest of your life off of that. Just because you've become known for those roles doesn't mean that those roles pay the bills for the rest of your life.

00:14:31
Speaker 3: I also think and this is a hot take, I'm sure, but regarding some of the celebrity gofund mees, I don't think that they're started for like the average working American to give their last five dollars for the month or their grocery budget. I think it is a way for people like Spielberg to give twenty five K, or Haley Bieberg to give twenty K. Like I don't think it is meant for people to give everything they have, And if you want too, that's great. But I've seen the discourse and I'm like, I think it's interesting. Yes, sure did they probably have more money than most people would, they have been fine, But it's like, you don't have to donate.

00:15:07
Speaker 2: It's a choice to think on that.

00:15:09
Speaker 1: That's true. With that being said, that's why I feel bad for putting this as my worst of the month. But I will say I think it's because I wasn't a fan of the band Mercy Me, and I've been very open about feeling that the entire biopic genre is just a little bit stale, So I had no connection to the artist, and the story itself didn't really resonate with me overall. Miles's performance was good in it. I tried to look at it from a not being so like I don't enjoy this style of movie, being a little bit more open minded, but at the end of it just feel bad about it. I would say that about a lot of the recent music biopicks that we've watched, Bob Dylan movie, Bored Song, Sung Blue like Springsteen, Springsteen, like all these That's why I'm really hesitanting about the Michael Jackson movie coming out this year, because I just feel that whether it's I Can Only Imagine Two or any other music bio pick, there's just this formula that they stick to that I feel has been just overdone. Like I've watched this movie so many times, the way they dramatize things around music, I just feel like that it's not realistic. It always has like this bigger, larger than life feeling. To me that I just want a more down to earth, gritty music bio pick that feels a little bit more set in reality and less just overly polished and produced. So I think that's just the problem I've been having with music biopicks, not just this. This one just happens to be the one of the month, are you? But those are our best and worst of the month. When it comes to movies, we always do TV shows.

00:16:47
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wrap my TV show and my book of the month together, Okay, all right. TV show is Love Story on FX.

00:16:53
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed.

00:16:54
Speaker 3: I think I've talked on here before about my deep fascination with the Kennedy family, and I will say I feel bad because I know the but Jack Schlosberg, who is Jackie Ow and JFK's grandson, so Caroline Kennedy Schlosburg's son, JFK Junior's nephew, has spoken out that like the family doesn't really improve.

00:17:11
Speaker 2: Of this show. Oh really, Oh my gosh, it's so good. It's so good.

00:17:15
Speaker 3: So it is the story of JFK Junior and Carolyn Bassett and it starts this isn't a spoiler. I think everyone knows that they untimely perished in a plane accident in ninety nine, but it starts with like that day, and then you go back through their love story and it just, oh, I love it so much.

00:17:33
Speaker 1: Looks very cinematically. I haven't sat down and watched an episode with you.

00:17:37
Speaker 2: The soundtrack the way I'm like that looks like a good show.

00:17:40
Speaker 3: They ended the episode this week with name by the Goo Goo Dolls and I just died, Okay. So then my book is white House by the Sea by Kate's Story s t O R Ey and I did the audiobook for this, and it is the.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: Story of how.

00:17:58
Speaker 3: The Kennedys kind of came to be Synona miss with Hyanna's port. So it's about how they have their like big Kennedy compound up there, and just the story of all the Kennedy's starting with Rose and Joe Senior all the way.

00:18:11
Speaker 2: Through, kind of like the current generation of the Kennedy's. Fascinating.

00:18:16
Speaker 3: I talk more about that on my new book instagram, yeah, that I made. It is Kelsey rod Reads So that's k E L S E Y R O D R E A d S. And it is a public instagram where I'm sharing everything i'm reading book news I'm excited about. So if you're interested in that, please go follow. It also has a link to my good Reads and well StoryGraph.

00:18:39
Speaker 1: We'll link at all in the episode notes too.

00:18:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been really fun.

00:18:42
Speaker 3: I try to respond to every DM there about books, so I've had some really good conversations with people about different books they're reading, what they're all looking forward to.

00:18:51
Speaker 2: It's really fun.

00:18:51
Speaker 1: I mean, we always get a great response whenever you talk about books on here people.

00:18:54
Speaker 3: And I actually I would like to hold on. Let me go get it from the bookshelf.

00:18:58
Speaker 1: Okay, Kelsey is going to the bookshelf. She's pulling a children's book from there.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: So I would like to highlight this book. It is called Norman at Your Service.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: And a listener of the pod reached out and this is about their service dog, Norman, and it's called Norman at Your Service My First Day and it is adorable And this is a real picture of Norman.

00:19:22
Speaker 2: He's so cute.

00:19:24
Speaker 1: I love the illustrations in the book.

00:19:25
Speaker 3: The illustrations are amazing and it is just about him being a service dog and it's adorable. So everyone check out Norman at Your Service.

00:19:34
Speaker 1: And it's at my reading level, which I love. A picture book for my show and book the show you have a book? Yeah. The show is Steal with Sophie Turner, Yeah, which was about her working at a company and then some people come in to rob the company and then there's a whole big conspiracy behind it started out great episode one. I was like, this is intense. I'm in and then it got.

00:19:57
Speaker 2: Could have been a movie. Yeah, it was a kind of a series.

00:19:59
Speaker 1: One one of those shows that could have been a movie. This entire series could have been an email where those first two episodes were great, but then once you realize where it's going, you're like, that's it. Yeah, but I feel like we're getting this more and more where it just feels like streaming services like to stretch out stories because it keeps people on their platform a little bit longer, and we're getting mini series where we should have got something a lot shorter, just because they're like, let's get more content out of this, which I get it. Things are expensive.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of it got to the point where we're like, oh, we should finish that show.

00:20:31
Speaker 1: There was one episode of it that was completely useless. It was so boring and went nowhere, and then it was just one of those shows that I was like, I need to know how this ends. I could have stopped probably after three or four, but I just I could have skipped to the last episode and just figured it out and like, Okay, that's it. Yeah, so don't really recommend it. I would probably give it. I like Sophie Turner, though, so I'd probably still give it three out of five offices.

00:20:56
Speaker 2: I love Sophie Turner.

00:20:57
Speaker 1: He's really good. I can't wait to see her in the New tumb movie. She's gonna be great and form my book. I did it. I finally finished a book project, Hail Mary, all four hundred and seventy six pages of it.

00:21:09
Speaker 3: I'm so excited that you read it because then we can have really good discourse about book versus movie when we go see the movie and i'max in two.

00:21:16
Speaker 1: Weeks, i'mac seventy millimeter, which I am so excited about because it's a massive screen. This is the I think this is the most excited I've ever been to see a movie that I've read the book, and this is only the second one I've ever done.

00:21:30
Speaker 2: Became the first.

00:21:31
Speaker 1: I read all the Hunger Games books.

00:21:33
Speaker 2: Oh, Harry Potter, I didn't.

00:21:35
Speaker 1: Read all the Harry Potter book that's right, okay, But also when those I don't think I saw you.

00:21:38
Speaker 3: Haven't read all the Hunger Games books because there's a new movie this year I ever read that.

00:21:42
Speaker 1: I didn't read the prequels. Do I need to read those now too. Maybe because I read the I didn't see all the Harry Potter movies in theaters. Okay, so that wasn't the same experience of reading the book and then seeing it in theaters. Hunger Games, I read all the books before and then went to go see all the movies in theaters. But I feel because of Project Hill Mary being so science heavy and there being some things that I just didn't understand visually in my head while reading it the same that I can't wait to see it. The annoying thing now is I feel like people are spoiling the story with all the reviews and the stills from the movie, because if you've read the book, it's kind of spoilers to know and to see some of these things where I guess it's not in context of just watching it as a movie. But that's also what motivated me to finish it so quickly. I mean, I've had like three months to read it at this point, but it really made me kick it into high gear because I felt that people were starting to spoil things more and more because they were showing images that didn't line up where I was reading at the moment.

00:22:48
Speaker 3: And I saw the trailer in theaters, and yeah.

00:22:54
Speaker 1: Really upset about the trailer.

00:22:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they spoiled too much.

00:22:58
Speaker 1: Because they're trying to entice people to come see it, but what they are using is ruining it for anybody who wants to read the book beforehand or not know all those details.

00:23:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but just why Sometimes I don't like trailers.

00:23:11
Speaker 1: You know, but I love a space movie. I loved all the characters. I enjoy reading again where, but it's so hard. I'm such a slow reader. It's so hard for me. It took me three months basically to read this book. But it's it's that feeling you get that once you're once you want to pick it up because you you're excited to.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: I read plenty of books that I like but take me a while, but I don't want to.

00:23:35
Speaker 2: Pick back up.

00:23:36
Speaker 1: But then I started.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: I forced myself.

00:23:38
Speaker 3: If I got it from the library, I'll totally do not finish or d NF as the readers say. But if I bought it and then it's one, I'm like, I don't really like.

00:23:46
Speaker 2: I forced myself to push through. You should read some Stephen King really long though.

00:23:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel like over four hundred was hard.

00:23:55
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, some of those are like eight hundred.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I could do that. Maybe I'll start. I'll go back to like a three hundred and three thirty book. Yeah, And then to close us out, let's recap all of the movies we saw in February. I watched The Wrecking Crew on Amazon, which was the Jason Momoa Dave Bautista movie. A solid action movie.

00:24:15
Speaker 2: Sounds like just a beef.

00:24:16
Speaker 1: It's a lot of muscle, a lot of testostery, beefy guys. But it was from the director of Blue Beetle, which I just love him. Loft that movie, so I gave it a three point five out of five. We finally watched If I had legs, I'd Kick You on HBO.

00:24:31
Speaker 2: Max Read.

00:24:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't as good as I was expecting. Rose Byrd's performance was top notch, But I feel like I didn't leave loving that movie a little I don't want to say too abstract.

00:24:43
Speaker 2: A little too abstracted.

00:24:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was a little bit. And I like abstract movies.

00:24:47
Speaker 3: It's kind of one of those where it's like, not they dance around things, but you hear a character's voice and you don't see them till the end. You see a plot point, and it doesn't get like unraveled till the middle. Like they reveal things throughout the movie instead of like just showing you and telling you a story.

00:25:01
Speaker 2: It's like things are alluded to and then they reveal them. And that kind of style isn't my favorite.

00:25:06
Speaker 1: And I got the message of it, but I just think the overall execution of it, I didn't love.

00:25:12
Speaker 2: A laugh.

00:25:12
Speaker 1: ConA O'Brien is like really making a push to being an actor lately, is in that he's gonna be in the New Toy Story movie. I kind of like it. We watched talked about said Help Wuthering Heights, which I thought people felt they either loved it or hated it. I saw a lot of hate.

00:25:28
Speaker 2: I have a friend who loved it, and I was like, ooh, it's kind of bored.

00:25:33
Speaker 1: We went to go see it and we got busted.

00:25:36
Speaker 3: Okay, so we immediately walk in and the woman's like, can I check your bag?

00:25:41
Speaker 2: I'm like, excuse me.

00:25:42
Speaker 1: It's reminded me of when we were younger and we would cross the border and they'd have to like check us. I was like, oh no, this car has loaded of fruits and vegetables, and.

00:25:51
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, I have a whole bag of like Boom Chick popcorn, not cheap Swedish candies that I'm like, please don't make me throw away.

00:25:59
Speaker 2: I'll go put these in the.

00:25:59
Speaker 1: Car because we always take snacks. We're loaded up. Yeah, we got drinks.

00:26:03
Speaker 3: I don't mind movie theater popcorn, but I'm not buying your eight dollars candy. They don't even have many gluten free options. Anyways, you have like a drink in my purse, you have a snack, and I'm like.

00:26:12
Speaker 1: The look on your face. Your eyes got so wide, and you were like.

00:26:15
Speaker 3: Oh, I go, it's just a lot of tampons in there, which there weren't even any tampons. I have used the logic before that would have worked if it was a man checking. It was a woman unfased, and she goes, oh, it's fine, I just need to make sure you don't have any alcohol. And then I'm like, oh no, And I opened the bag. She sees all my snacks and I was like, okay, cool. So I guess they just don't want people sneaking and drinks. But I like, I literally just go it's a bunch of tampons, because again, women aren't phased men. I have used that before, sneaking candy into a different movie.

00:26:45
Speaker 2: That guy turned so bright red and was just like, yeah.

00:26:47
Speaker 1: You're good, you're in. Do I need to see it? Truly?

00:26:51
Speaker 2: He was like, oh, oh, I'm so sorry.

00:26:52
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.

00:26:53
Speaker 3: So that trick worked not this time, but yeah, but then it didn't happen the next time we went. Think it's maybe just like really busy Friday nights.

00:27:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess that's probably an issue with people bringing in I don't know, beers and like bottles and stuff to get drunk at the movies.

00:27:11
Speaker 2: Movie theater. Alcohol is expensive, it is.

00:27:13
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine a drink is eight dollars? Could you imagine a beer at the movie? I haven't drink is actually more than eight Now it's more than eight. Yeah, it's like nine dollars with our ten percent Now, I mean, dang, that's crazy.

00:27:24
Speaker 3: That's another reason why I don't want to buy snacks at the movie. It's so expensive.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why people don't go as much.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, so we got busted. We did get but it was not really busted.

00:27:33
Speaker 1: We talked about crime one on one. I threw some shade hit songs on Blue which is on Peacock Now. I gave that one a two point five out of five. Again just music movies, Yeah, not big on them. Goat Goat was okay. I think if the animation wasn't as cool as it was, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. And I love a good kids movie. We were probably the only two adults and they were without kids.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: We want to see it on like a Saturday morning, like eleven.

00:27:57
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just think the story was I've seen.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: It before, but nothing seen this film before.

00:28:04
Speaker 1: The Vigils are great because it's the same studio who does Kpop, Demon Hunters and into the Spider Verse, so it had that style. But I think maybe it was the voice acting for me where they it just felt like they got a bunch of celebrities that I feel like didn't really feel like all the characters emote. Yeah, that just didn't quite do it for me.

00:28:21
Speaker 2: I'm ready for Hoppers.

00:28:23
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that comes out this week.

00:28:25
Speaker 2: Ready for that.

00:28:25
Speaker 1: That's good to be good. Listen.

00:28:27
Speaker 3: I love an animated movie. We saw the preview for the new Minions movie.

00:28:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks good, hilarious. At one point, one of them is in the bathroom needing.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: Toilet paper and he unwraps a mummy and then the Mummy Genius Guys, slapstick comedy.

00:28:40
Speaker 1: And then finally we closed out the month with watching Rental Family, which is now on Hulu. People, I think this was the most requested movie for us to review. Really. Yeah. Everybody's like, when you're gonna go see Rentel Family, and we didn't get a chance to see it, and we wanted to. We wanted to, and then it was like the twenty buck rental for a while. But now you can watch it free on Hulu. So I was like, all right, we'll probably gonna watch this movie. People said, we're gonna love it. I love a good It had all the things I love. I love Brendan Frasier, I love movies that are based in Japan. I love lower budget movies that are just supposed to make you feel good. And I just didn't. It just didn't connect with me.

00:29:17
Speaker 2: It just didn't have didn't pack a punch.

00:29:20
Speaker 1: It was like almost trying to overly tell an emotional story because it's about him. He's an actor, moves to Japan really only gets like a commercial, like a literal commercial job, and then just starts acting in other people's lives to like help them out, like acting as like like a hired Yeah, like a hired great concept, but I think overall it's just like kind of like with crime one on one, I was like, where was the good part?

00:29:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't bad, It just it was a little it was slower, and I feel like when we watch a movie at home, to keep my attention, it needs to be faster paced.

00:29:53
Speaker 1: Anything else we want to mention this week?

00:29:55
Speaker 3: Ooh, there's a great run of Saturday Night Live coming up time. We put this out this past week and we'll have already been but it's Connor story from Heated Rivalry and Mumford and Son's excellent combo. I will be watching the full episode and then this coming week. This week that this podcast comes out on Saturday, it is Ryan Gosling and Gorillas. Yes, Yes, And then the following week it's Harry Styles doing double duty.

00:30:20
Speaker 1: It's a good run. So are we still some of the only people who get excited for SNL and watch it every single week? No, there's something about us that we just love Live TV.

00:30:29
Speaker 3: I think that's because we like being home. Because let's tell people, we left the house today for a while. Yeah, the minute we left the house, I read it. I truly. We had barely gotten coffee and we were kind of like, should we go home? But it was like we'd already committed. Didn't my hair, didn't make up, I put on an outfit. It's kind of like we have to leave.

00:30:44
Speaker 1: But I think for me, because I watch a lot of things with intention, I like watching live things because I don't have to think about it. That's good, Yeah, because I don't want to have to think about like what to put on the run time. Sometimes it's nice just to put on something live and just let it live. And that's why I like The Housewives, because you can just let it live. You don't have to think a lot about it.

00:31:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh that's what I was gonna say.

00:31:07
Speaker 3: If you're not into Bravo, you can fast forward through me Real Housewives Beverly Hills this season.

00:31:12
Speaker 2: I know some of you have to be watching it. Rachel Zo saved this show.

00:31:15
Speaker 3: Do you know who? Rachel's was no no Idea Fashion Icon. She had a show on Bravo. She's not getting divorced. She came in Real Housewives Beverly Hills was getting boring. She has single handedly revived that show. So if anyone, if you want to talk about Rachel z O, go follow my reading Instagram DM me about Rachel Zo because she saved this franchise, all right.

00:31:34
Speaker 1: She's like a superhero coming save today. Basically, she just like chaotic or no.

00:31:39
Speaker 3: She just brings like a good new kind of storyline and they just she took everyone to like the Hampton's and she's just just like fresh sometimes they need a new housewife to spice things up.

00:31:52
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. There's your reality TV take.

00:31:54
Speaker 2: There you go.

00:31:55
Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and I'll give my spoiler free review of Scream seven. Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of Scream seven. The road to this movie was atrocious. It was a bumpy ride, to say the least. Melissa Barrera, who I really enjoy I thought she brought a breath of fresh air into a franchise that really needed it, was fired from this movie. Jenna Ortega left this movie when they were out. I in essence was out too, because I feel their energy, their dynamic made this franchise worthy of my time again, which the first two were great, three and four Man, but them coming back in five. Even the naming of five kind of annoys me. They called it Scream, but it was early Scream five that was the requel. It brought the metainess back. It brought all the elements back that I loved about the first one and modernized it with a great cast. But with them out and now them trying to say, oh, Nev Campbell is back when she was back in five too, she was only nine in six. I just felt this entire movie was rushed. There was no heart in any element of the storytelling. And Scream seven and it was even worse than I thought. What this movie is about. You have Nev Campbell, who I really enjoy. She paved the way for these movies. I'm a Nev Campbell fan, but I just think the writing did her so wrong in this movie. It's about her moving away, changing her name, trying to get away from her past completely. She has a daughter now named Tatum, who was at the same age that Sidney was in the first movie, and they try to make a big deal about that it's happening again. So Sidney's worst nightmare is coming to life because the killer is back, and now the killer is going after her daughter. Sidney and Tatum have a troubled relationship because Sydney is very guarded about her past, doesn't want to tell her about all the death that has followed her, and wants to keep her daughter as safe as possible. The thing I found the most unbearable about this movie is how much it leans into the lore of Scream and reminding you about all the characters. The way that everybody in this town treats Sydney like she's some local celebrity that everybody knows and everybody focuses on. That just doesn't feel like reality to me. These don't take place in the real world, which the first movies did. That was great about those movies, and those movies with Wes Craven broke the mold on a genre that was dead, and I think we forget that when Scream came out it was so groundbreaking because the slasher movies were oversaturated in the eighties, everybody got tired of them. But when Scream came around, it had that nineties edge. It was meta, it was aware of itself. It was poking fun at the formula of horror movies and it changed the game. But now with Scream seven, it is going against everything that was created in the original movie and now just being this really weird recurgitation, scraping the barrel for any gun of nostalgia, any kind of just we have this ip, we gotta do something with it, and it just feels so forced at this point, there's nothing new to follow. Ghost Face is probably the worst version we've ever had. The mask looks off, which the thing I loved about Scream five is they had like the weathering on the mask. It looked old and torn, and when it comes to Scream seven, the mask looks like they just walked down to Walgreens, grabbed a Scream mask off the rack, and got that person on set. The only time this movie ever felt good was in the opening scene, which was a lot of what we saw in the trailer and what made me excited for the movie because I thought this movie was gonna have more of an edge. I thought Ghost Bace was gonna be this hardcore villain and really causing some death and destruction. But outside of that opening scene, nothing else felt like a horror movie. It all just felt like a parody of itself. That opening scene did create some tension, and I think it's because it really had nothing to do with the screen franchise, aside from the fact that you have two people renting out an Airbnb that is dedicated to the original murders. It's still meta because they were talking about the Stab movies and about Sidney Prescott and giving you the backstory, so just in case you haven't seen a screen movie, they kind of tell you everything. Even though that opening scene is still a little bit cheesy, I found it worked. It felt like a horror movie, but the rest of the movie just felt like a soap opera with some people dying here and there. There was really only one creative kill in the entire thing, and even that was more creative in the sense that it got a bit of a chuckle out of me. Everything else was buy the book, no imagination to be had. It tried to make a small comment on Ai, which just felt completely crowbarred in that didn't work for me. I don't think necessarily anybody in it was a bad actor. I just think they had a really bad script to work with because I wasn't buying into nev Campbell's performance Courtney Cox did nothing for me, and they had to over explain all these reasons that the people inside of this story can still exist. And I feel like as a franchise, once you get to that point, it is time to hang some things up move on from this story. You can keep ghosts Face, but if they continue to harp on the Sidney Prescott storyline, there is going to be no other story to tell ever, and it's gonna get me, who is a casual screen fan, to really write off this franchise because I don't want to see it again. I would rather than move on completely. They need to burn it all to the ground, much like ghost Face did in that opening scene. That part of the trailer just had me hype. It gave me hope, a false sense of hope that more crazy things like that were gonna happen. But nothing else topped the opening scene. So I think they need to burn it all to the ground. Forget about Sidney Prescott, because it really just feels like what Halloween did with Lori Strode, but Sidney Prescott is nowhere near the level of a Lorii Strode. I think they need to let that character go move it to a new town, create a whole new story, because ghost Face is a great character, but it is limited so much by still trying to play in this box. It's gonna be like we're watching the Stab movies inside of the movie at this point, because throughout the entire thing, the humans don't feel like humans. At no point whatsoever was I buying Joe mcchal as a cop. He plays Sidney Prescott's husband in Tatum's Dad. There are some people who should just not be cast as cops. Joe McHale is one of them. And I'm a fan of Joe McHale. I love him in community, I love him just as an actor. But did not work for me whatsoever in Scream seven because when I saw him in his cop uniform trying to be the person in control over all these situations, I could only see Jeff Winger making jokes, wearing a leather jacket and talking crap on Brita, Troy, and Abed. I could not see Joe McHale as a serious cop, and that was a major problem for me. I really think this movie represents and it wasn't probably its intention, but it represents everything that is wrong in the movie industry right now, and everything we hate about reboots and sequels and studios just wanting to sell us the same thing over and over again, because that is what we got with Scream seven. We got nothing new. We got the same thing essentially we got in Scream five and six, minus the best parts I did enjoy. However, Mason Gooding, who is Cuba Gooding Junior son, I think out of everybody in this cast, he was the best actor and the only person who I thought, Okay, that is somebody I would actually like to hear more of their story and see them a little bit more in the main plot line of these films because I like him a lot aside from everyone else. Scrap it. So for Scream seven, I say, don't waste your time seeing it in theaters. If you have been committed to this franchise for a long time and invested since the nineties and have seen every single Scream movie like I have, maybe it's worth it. But for Scream seven, I give it two out of five knives. It's time to head down to Movie Mike Traylor Park. The toys are back in town. Everybody's favorite animated toys are back in Toy Story five. This time the big evil villain is a tablet. We have a lily Pad smart tablet that is taking over Bonnie's life, and the toys are afraid they are going to be replaced by technology. And this is supposed to be a commentary on today's society. How kids don't really play with toys anymore. All of the kids want an iPad and you spend so much time on them, does it limit your imagination? And in the case of Woodie, Buzz, Jesse, Bullseye, the entire Crew four key is back. They fear they're going to be replaced because Bonnie is now completely obsessed with the tablet. Even when she hangs out with their other friends, they are all just on their tablets. So how do you compete with technology? I think this movie is trying to say a lot, but in its efforts to do so, we have the exact same plotline as Toy Story one. So I do want to get into all that, But before I do, here is just a little bit of the Toy Story five trailer, which is coming out in theaters on June nineteenth. Let's take a listen. Is it as bad out there for toys as they say?

00:42:11
Speaker 3: It is.

00:42:12
Speaker 1: We're finding more abandoned toys each day. Text invaded our house too. I don't know, Jesse. Toys are for play, but texis for everything.

00:42:25
Speaker 3: I'm losing Bonnie to this device.

00:42:28
Speaker 1: Why are you wearing a dress, Weddy? It's called a puncho for Keith.

00:42:33
Speaker 2: Someone needs a bro marker.

00:42:35
Speaker 1: What are you some sort of old man toy?

00:42:36
Speaker 3: What?

00:42:37
Speaker 1: She thanks? You're old because you're bald wedding Bonnie needs help from someone, at least from the same centry the Long Toy Day. Even Woody, an animated character, is not safe from father time. He is losing his hair. What he's about to get some plastic surgery For this movie, you have Tom Hanks for turning is Woody. Tim Allen is back is buzz light Year. Joan Cusack is back as Jesse. Greta Lee will be the voice of Lily Pad. Conan O'Brien is a new part of the movie. He will play a character named smarty Pants. Tony Hale is back as Forky. And why I say that they are making the exact same movie that they made with the original toy story is because that is what happened. You have Woody, who was an old school toy, a cowboy that all he had was a drawstring. You pull the string, and he said his catchphrases. But that was Andy's favorite toy. And then he has a birthday. He gets the buzz light Year that has all this new technology that none of the other toys in Andy's room had. He had the laser, which was just the light. He had the wings that could quote unquote make them fly, and they were all threatened by this new, big, shiny toy in the cool box. And now thirty plus years after that one, because that one came out in ninety ninety five, so now thirty years yars later, the exact same thing is happening. It's just so much more advance because now Bonnie has this new bright and shiny toy, much like Andy did in part one, and now Jesse is experiencing yet again the feeling of being replaced and being abandoned by her kid, and the overall tone of this trailer is a lot more sad. It feels very final, even more so than Toy Story three, because you can even hear it in Joan Cusack's voice, who is now a little bit older, which is really interesting to hear how some of these animated movies are changing. And in my lifetime, I haven't really experienced somebody stopping because they were wanting to retire, and I think it's because of the time I was born. Like all the original Simpsons cast, for the most part, is still there. And if I watch an episode of The Simpsons, especially with Dan Cassineletta, who does the voice of Homer Simpson, to sound older now, and it's interesting to see animated characters who are not supposed to age physically because they are just drawing. They can look the exact same way, but you start to hear it in their voice, and I hear it in Joan Cusack's voice with Jesse. But I feel overall from this trailer, I'm getting a very this is a final storyline in this chapter of all these toys lives, because I can't imagine that it goes on forever where it already feels like they are just making the same movie again. And if you think about the life cycle of a toy in this world, this is all they are going to experience. A new kid gets them, they age out of that kid, and then they get really sad and have to move on. But now the reason it's a little bit different is not only is the kid aging out, but the world around them is changing so much that they can't just move on to a new kid, because that new kid is still probably going to want to play with the tablet more than a cowboy, more than a Space Ranger that is now over thirty years old. Which if Woodi's hair is balding or fading away, how has Buzz stayed in such pristine condition with all the crazy things they have gone through. Now, the real problem I had with four was that the toys started to manipulate with the real world too much. And I think that was the beauty of one is whenever there was a human around, they turned back into toys, and they wouldn't try to manipulate a whole lot of things because that would give some indication to the humans that, oh, are these toys alive? What is actually happening here? Aside from them speaking to sit and freaking him out, they laid low for the most part. After rewatching all the toy story movies, I had a much different outlook, and I do believe the toys are a little bit delusional, especially with him to go with Andy to college. They have no idea how the real world works, and I think that is something that we don't address. I also think that Disney gas lit us in portraying Sid as the villain. I don't think Sid did anything wrong, if anything. In the first movie, Woody is the villain. He is the one who committed attempted murder on buzz light Year, all because he wanted to be the toy that Andy got to take with to Pizza Planet, so he trying to hide him behind the desk and in turn knocked him out of the house. Woody is the one who committed the crime. I don't see anything on Sid's rap sheet that really makes him the villain. To me, Sid was just an engineer. He was just a kid next door. He had no idea that these toys were alive, no idea. They make it seem like he was tormenting toys because it was some kind of weird pleasure to him to see them experience pain. He is just a kid living in the normal world playing with this toys that maybe something is a little bit on ethical or think is a little bit weird, But he did nothing wrong because to him they were inanimate objects. I think Sid was an engineer, not a bully, not a villain, but we painted him out that way, and the toys saw him as a villain because he was hurting their kind. But he had no idea that they were living and I guess breathing. I don't know exactly what the toys do, but they went crazy on him and traumatized him all because he would, like I said, he was an engineer. He would take toys, break them down and rebuild them in a much different way that I felt was very creative and innovative. He also didn't really have any friends. You mean to tell me that Andy, the kid next door had a huge birthday party and didn't invite Sid. With all that house, why did they need such a big house? It was just Andy, his baby sister and his mom. They had a massive house, and why did they not invite Sid. I think Sid was unfairly picked as the villain and they didn't gets traumatized for the rest of his life because again, he was just playing with these toys as an engineer would. He was strapping a rocket to buzz light here to see how high you would go? To study science, that is what he was doing. And then you have Woody speaking to him as a toy, completely traumatizing him. Could you imagine Sid trying to get a girlfriend later in life, them opening up about things and him being like, one time this toy talked to me, and all these toys that I had created came up from the sandbox. She'd be like, oh man, I'm gonna get out of this relationship right now. They ruined Sid's life. He was not the villain. So that is why I think they are all a bit delusional. But I do enjoy seeing salty Woody again because in my rewatch that was something I did appreciate. From the first movie. He was a jerk to Buzz. He had a lot of jealousy, and that jealousy came out in very funny ways, and it was the most entertaining version of Woody. And then he became a little bit softer. He became somebody trying to find his purpose, and then he just became the one trying to hold it all together, trying to hold on to the past, fearing change. But now he is back to being a little bit salty. Him and Buzz looks like they're not going to get along, and we are even getting basically a recreation of that famous final scene from the first movie where it looks like Buzz and Woody are again going on a chase, ending up on the back of a car fighting against each other. So to me, it feels almost like a remake of the first one with a different kid, but kind of the same concept them fearing this new technology. But now they're all a little bit older, they're wearing down a little bit. So is this finally going to be the end? Are they all going to say goodbye? If I had to pick a favorite final ending to the Toy Story franchise, I think it all goes back to how it was going to end before they started messing with the situation in Toy Story three. I think they all accept their fate and they go into the attic. I think they all get put into a box and get taken up the stairs and get put up there to live out the rest of their lives. I think that is best case scenario for them. I also think that is a way that you could still have a Toy Story six where it's life in the Attic and they maybe try to do some other adventures that aren't as focused on just trying to hold on to them, wanting to still be played with, wanting to still have that same purpose. I think teaching kids that there are phases of life and it's not going to remain the same forever. Eventually, you, even as a toy, have to grow up, much like Andy did. Andy grew up, he went to college. He didn't take his toys with him. Although if you think about it, at the end of Toy Story three when he's playing with Bonnie, was anybody else monitoring that, like just keeping an eye on that? If I was a neighbor just walking down, like what is that eighteen year old doing with that kid? So again it picks our movie not going to get too far into that, but again doesn't really feel like reality. But you gotta move on with your life, and maybe the toys accept that, realize, you know what, we've had a good run. Let's live out the rest of our lives. Maybe somebody does. Oh what if somebody dies in Toy Story five, that could be it. We get a deathneral a toy funeral. How sad would that be? But I think and I hope this is closing out the chapter if they want to continue the franchise, which I know Disney would have a really hard time doing this. You get a new set of characters, you reboot it, much like you get new Avengers, you get a new group of toys. Maybe you move it back like you go back in time. You do a multiverse type thing where you go back to the eighties when kids still love toys. Oh, you could do that, you could go back in time. But I am still looking forward to this one more than I thought I was. I thought I was totally writing it off. I think it's because the animation looks so good. In that opening scene that's a dream sequence, it looks like watercolors. A lot of the shots look really cinematic and beautiful where it looks like they are filmed on an actual film camera, and I have to remember that I'm watching something animated. The lighting, the color, all the things about the animation is really what's drawing me into wanting to see this on the biggest screen possible. I'm gonna take the story for what it is, take the message for what they are trying to tell me, but I think at this point in my life, I'm always gonna be a little bit overly critical of it. But again, toy story five is coming out this summer on June nineteenth, and that was this week's edition of Movie mich Trailer Parks and that is gonna do it for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta get my listener shout out of the week. This week, I'm going over to TikTok shouting out Elle, who tagged me in a comment on a video talking about Nostalogier from the eighties which I get fed so many nostalogier videos on TikTok, and L wrote, I just found out that YouTube has TV that you can stream the actual shows with the commercials and everything from that era. It'll instantly transport you to the era. Mike Distro mentioned it on the Bobby Bone Show Weekend podcast. It is so awesome and I did mention it there and I'll tell you about it now because my favorite tradition to do right now on Saturday mornings, when I need that kick in nostalgia where I feel like, oh man, the world's crazy right now, I just want to be transported back into the late nineties or early two thousands. On YouTube, if you just search rewind or Nickelodeon rebroadcast or my personal favorite Disney's One Saturday Morning, which takes me back to Waksahatchie going to get my haircut from my cousin's grandma, which is not related to me, a family friend, but my cousin's grandma would always have One Saturday Morning playing on a small tube TV on this old desk, covered and paperwork, and I would watch it, probably at least an hour of it while waiting to get my haircut by her, and just hearing that theme song of One Saturday Monday, No No, No, No, No Tuesday Wednesday. Hearing that theme song and hearing the illuminating television instantly takes me back to my childhood. And if you go on YouTube and search One Saturday Morning, you can watch the entire broadcast of that where it starts with that. Some of them start with commercials. I'm watching old chipsu Hoy commercials from back in the day, commercials and products I haven't thought about in so long, but somebody just ripped an entire broadcast uploaded it. So whatever you're into, whether it's One Saturday Morning from Disney that aired on ABC, Nickelodean, Snick, or maybe you were into Cartoon Network, they all have these rebroadcasts, and it feels like you're instantly transported into that time. And it sounds weird to be excited about watching old commercials, but it is really fun to do if you just need that kick in nostalgia. So appreciate you, l I didn't think that would be anything anybody else what want to watch except for me, but it sounds like some people do, so thank you for sending that comment, tagging me on TikTok if you want to follow me there, it's at Mike Distro.
