Top 3 Movies Studios with Amateur Movie Critic Allie + Movie Review: Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Disney+) + Trailer Park: Spiderhead  (Netflix)

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie mis Movie Podcast. I am your host movie Mike, and this week I have a guest with me in studio, amateur movie critic Ali, who is a friend of my wife's and fellow film enthusiasts. We will be breaking down our top three movie studios right now. In the movie review, I'll be doing one of my patented thirty year old reviews, the movie Meant for Children. We'll be talking about the new Chippendale on Disney Plus. And in the trailer park, we have a new psychological thriller coming to Netflix that seems pretty interesting just by this trailer. So a lot of stuff to cover on this week's episode. Appreciate you all being here. Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew. You guys already know what this is. Let's talk movies. In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking on mtvt with glasses from the Nashville podcast Networth Movie Movie Podcast. Here now with amateur movie critic Ali, How are you doing great? Happy? To be back on the podcast. Yeah, you've been on, you were on the phone, and now you're here in person. I know this is a definite upgrade from the last experience. And the reason you're here in Nashville is you came in for a Heim concert and I got postponed, canceled in our hearts, so disappointment. Listen, happy to be here spending time with you guys, but come on, come on. A canceled concert. But now we're here to talk movies, absolutely, and we're going to get into our favorite movie studios. We'll each do our top three. But every time I have a guest on the podcast, I like to get to know them through movies first. So I had a few questions for you before we get into it. Okay, pop quest, So, going back to your childhood, what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? In theaters, probably like a Disney movie of some sort. My parents loved taking us to go because we would be quiet, they could vedg out for like an hour and a half two hours just watch it, So more than likely it was probably something Disney. I'm trying to think through my memories and nothing is specifically popping up, but how to be one of those. Would your parents stay awake through the Disney movie? My dad absolutely not, my mom would. My mom likes to catch the jokes. I like a little bit of the adult humor that they kind of infused Disney movies. My dad took that as a nice chance to just fall asleep, take a nap cruise. So is that a natural thing of dads to fall asleep? Because my dad has never made it through a movie. I think he's gone to maybe two movies in his lifetime. Both he fell asleep. Absolutely, even when we're at home it's a movie and my dad has picked still asleep, or he'll leave halfway through and go watch like some basketball game in the other room while the movie is still playing. So one of those things. So I feel like with people like us in our group of friends were kind of known as like the movie people, I feel like that always comes from like a certain part of your life. So for you, what do you think it is about movies that over your life you just kind of identified with and you just kind like, okay, like this is what I gravitate towards. Yeah, I would say it wasn't really until college that I fell in love with movies. I've always really enjoyed movies. It was always a really fun escape for my friends, especially when you live in just a classic Dallas suburb and there's not much else to do. You go to the movie theater. That's where you kind of exist. And then in college, um, a lot of my best friends were super into movies. We made it a point to see to start seeing every Oscar nominated Best picture. Um. So once we started making that a checklist, I really got into movies. Um, just the beauty, the escapism. I think there's a point to most movies that are made. Some of them are just for like dumb fun, but like that absolutely serves a point for someone somewhere. A movie exists for a purpose, and so I think all movies have value, no matter if you're like me, who's a little bit of a snob, I think they're all great. I know for me, whenever I get at people ask me all the time what my favorite movie is. It's always the hardest question to answer because it's like, as there's just so many different genres, there's just so many different movies that I love for different reasons. So I won't bring that question on you but what movie do you think you've seen the most in your lifetime? Probably this is going to be a little bit basic, probably Pride and Prejudice, And it's like so many people in my life. That is like the ultimate comfort movie. You know exactly what's going to happen. It's beautiful. It feels a little more highbrow than your classic movie. UM, I've probably seen that one. I gosh, I can't even begin to count the number of times that I've seen it. Um, But it's just like a good quality movie. You never feel bad after having watched it. Great answer. I love that one alright. So we'll get into it now. Our top three movie studios of all time. And the reason I thought you'd be great for this topic is I think our top three are going to be very different, autely, so I'm looking forward to this. We haven't seen each other's list, so I'll let you kick it off. What do you have a number three? Okay, at number three, I'm going to pull out a little bit of a dark horse, um Anna Parna as a studio. Um, they have put out a lot of really good movies that I've liked in the last several years, and they've been pretty consistent in terms of which movies that they're pulling out, Like Phantom Thread was a really good movie. If Biel Street could talk vice book Smart, Oh my gosh, I could talk about book Smart for hours, just really high quality movies. They really specific about the projects I feel like they're picking, and so I've been really impressed overall with their general catalog of what they've really done. I think book Smart is one of my favorite comedies and the like very long time. It is like one of the peak like female comedies and just like a good coming of age movie. Absolutely up there, top of my top of my game. At number three, I'm gonna go with Universal Classic. I always I feel like the quintessential, Like my childhood was listening to the Universal theme song come On, and every time I hear that, it just associates, like my memory with like, Okay, this is I'm sitting down to something special. Now I'm sitting down to watch an event like just that sound alone trigger something in me of knowing I'm gonna I'm in for a good time. Yes, and movies coming up now like Drastic World, that's just like the excitement that going into like any kind of movie is always that excitement I look for, so I know anytime I watch something Universal, it's going to have that cinematic quality to it. Now, there may be hit or miss every now and then, but I just know going into like summer Blockbuster season, that's kind of what I look forward to. Going to Universal Studios just gives me that feeling of being a kid again. Absolutely super nostalgic. I feel that same way about the Fox fanfare. Whenever I hear that, you just like get a hit of dopa media. Yeah, yeah, this is gonna be a good time. That's not really a thing anymore, right, I know, but like looking back on movies and you hear it and you're just like, oh, this feels like when I was eight and like watching movies and they were so good. Takes us back. All right, what do you have? A number two? Um? Number two um? A bit of turn from what you may expect. I'm gonna say, studio ghibli um. I'm a huge spirited away fan. I love those movies I grew up on, like Tikis Delivery Service, all those kinds of movies, high high quality animated films that have a lot to say, which I think is cool. Um stellar animation. UM just like great purpose in what the movies are producing, UM, really consistent quality across the board. Absolutely love them. I find sometimes it's hard for me to convince people to watch an animated movie, especially as an adult, and I feel sometimes like when I'm watching the Oscars, they don't even do them justice of like saying like, Okay, this is what an animated movie is. Doyn't even make jokes about all these are for kids, not that that's not at all. So when you recommend an animated movie to somebody, like, how do you how do you convey that message of like no, this is a whole different level, like this is something that you're not should be associating with something for kids. Yeah, what's right about Studio Ghibli I feel like is a lot of the premise and even the animation is a little more adult than what you would expect. It's a little more intense, little more serious, a little more graphic on occasion, and I think the themes that come up are really interesting and diverse, and there's a lot to unpack from those movies. So whereas you know, you can watch The Lion King as many times as you want, UM pretty straightforward message, not as much to unpack. I watched Studio Ghibli films and I am consistently learning new things about myself, about the world, about the people around me, UM, which I think is interesting for other people when trying to introduce them to animated films, UM, giving them a little more to dive into. Whereas you know, I went and saw Finding Dory um by myself, and I'm surrounded by eight year olds and their parents in the theater, and I was like, Okay, this feels weird as an adult to be going to see this movie, you know. UM. So thankfully Studio Ghibly, I feel like gives UM people a little bit more to sort of like latch onto and talk about. I find it have the same having to defend animated movies that I do, like convincing people to watch a foreign film, to look past that like I'm going to watch something with subtitles and just go into and knowing that you're probably going to watch something that you've unlike anything you've ever seen before. So as soon as you can eliminate those barriers of like and I don't want to watch something animated or I don't want to watch something in a different language. I think it opens you up to so many more great stories out there of just you being afraid to watch something like that. Sure, and I was like, are we just that lazy that we can't read some text on the screen. It's not that hard. It's not hard at all, and it's so so worth it, and um bon juno. I remember at his oscars um except in speech was like, if you'll can just get over the whole concept of like reading while you're watching, you will unlock so many new movies, so many different things. Um, it's well well worth it to get into that. You didn't mention something about going to the movies that Loan. Some of the greatest joys I've had is going to watch movies alone. Like I tell everybody, like, if there's a movie you want to go watch in theaters, no one's going to really pay attention to you going to the movie theater alone. I think once I got over that, I would just like I'm all in now, Like it doesn't really matter. Once you're there sitting in a movie theater, no one's really looking around and paying attention to it. I think it's just you living kind of inside your head. People are going to think I'm a weirdo, but I've been that person too. At a Disney movie by myself, I'll sit by myself off in the corner, but it's just fine, Like it's not a big deal either. Yeah, I would think also, like during the pandemic was movies became like a really great escape for me just to get out of my house once theaters opened up again. Um, and I was like, you know what, I'm super good to like go by myself. I would be the only person in the theater. Um, and it was like in the summer, and it was just cold and nice to just like sit in the dark, watch a good movie and you focus and you really, um pay attention to different things. Whereas, um, I don't know, going with friends, you feel like you and I like kind of a little chit chat in between scenes and things like that. But I really learned how to focus absorb everything that was sort of going on, and it's just like a nice break. I'm not even that much of an introvert, but it is good time. Just like spend by myself, UM sort of shut my brain off sometimes and just that job watch a good movie while we're kind of on this topic. I found that I've had kind of a shift in going from watching movies at home during the pandemic when all like new things are coming out that you could stream it at home, and now it's all coming back to the in theater experience. I find how much I really missed that. Like, I feel like there's an extra level of just enjoyment of some movies kind of require that, you know, camaraderie, of being around other people to get the full experience that at the time I thought I was enjoying watching movies at home, like having them like I don't have to go to the theater at all, Like I can have this all here and pay whatever amount to enjoy it at home and not have to go out anywhere. But I really, really I was like how important that is? Have you kind of felt that too? Absolutely? I have become really into sound editing and sort of that whole experience and what that brings when you're in a theater really hearing stuff. Um. I remember I tried to go. I tried to watch Drive My Car on HBO. I got about thirty minutes into it, and oh, I could not focus to save my life, And I was like, screw it. I'm gonna go find a theater that showing it. Sit down, watch it, focus. Um, And just even being in that atmosphere, you really trained my brain to sit down and laser in on a movie. Whereas at home, you know, I've got a dog, I've got roommates, I'm running around, I want to get up and make a coffee. You know, so many distractions coming through. Um. But like I remember, I also went and saw Dune in Imax, and so I made a point to go see that in theaters first because I knew the full experience was going to be so much better than just watching it at home straight off the cuff. Um. Just here that soundtrack, just like you felt like you were a grain of sand in the dune. It was so crazy, just like visually so cool. Um. And then watch it again at home, and I was like, yeah, that was the right call. Yeah, I watched that movie at home first round, and I didn't like it as much as I was expecting to. Like, I knew I was watching something special, and I could tell by the scale of it that I probably should win to see this movie in theaters. So I maybe the next one and I'll actually go watch that one, theaters have a different experience, all right, My number two, I'm going with Warner Brothers Classic. I feel like they are consistent with like every single movie they put out, it's something special over time. I feel like when I started racking up all my favorite movies, aside from the d C stuff, there's just so many great Warner Brothers movies. And going back to my favorite first movie as a kid, Willy Wonka, like I just can't get past him, Like seeing that w B and associating it with something so great is that? So I always put them at my number two slot just because I think when I just overall think of movies, I think of Warner Brothers, and then now with all of the DC movies of like I'm kind of having this contrast of being such a big Marble fan now being a little bit more excited and what DC is doing, just because I feel like I get so much kind of superhero burnout that I'm a little bit more interested in exciting what they have coming on. But I feel like that's a pretty solid like Warner Brothers for sure, especially when you think of just like movies and the history of movies. I can just like visualize Warner Brothers. They've always been there. And I think I saw that when I watched um, Space Jam two. And I know they went a little hard of like showing off every single Warner Brothers property in Space Jam two, But you see all those characters, and you're like, these are all so historic and so iconic, iconic that I can't I can't deny that one. Absolutely at your number one movie studio, all right, don't judge me. Maybe this is a little sist whatever. Absolutely my favorite movie studio at the moment, constantly putting out such good, provocative, intense, beautiful movies. Some of my absolute favorite movies from like the better part of the last decade absolutely coming from um, everything everywhere, all at once. Mind blown, absolutely mind blowing. UM. If you're thinking like Ladybird, Moonlight, UM, all those different kinds of big hitters, they really came out swinging. And I've been super impressed by the catalog and the diversity um of films that they've been putting out, UM, and just their content. Yeah. Sure, maybe we're a little snobbish and stuck up as like a twenty four fans, um, but I've been super impressed by what they've been putting out. They definitely make my top five. I just feel like every four movie has something to say, and I think that's what they have built such a hardcore, dedicated fan base that it's for me. It's the style of it. It's gonna be a movie that I probably haven't heard this story before, refreshing characters, refreshing look. And when you look at just movies that have really kind of set themselves apart, that have been like the most talked about every year, it's been a film everything everywhere, all at once. You were saying movies like Uncut Gems, Good Time, Lighthouse, like those movies are just so impactful that I love things that even though they're a little bit weird and not for everybody. It's hard for me to sell four film to some people sometimes because they're not for everybody. And I know that sometimes when you you can watch it and if you're not like fully going to commit yourself to it, it's easy to just two now and be like this is ridiculous, like what am I watching right now? But me personally love them as well. For sure. I like a movie that's a little bit trippy, which is the majority of movies. Um I also really appreciate that they have been big in sort of you know, doing a jacent horror films. I've been really impressed with UM what they've been putting out, like Midsummer Hereditary. Hereditary is a great horror film, UM which all the different kinds X that just came out, UM. I feel like they have been sort of revamping a more stylistic horror movie versus like your classic slasher or you know, sort of like Exorcism movie and stuff, UM, which I can't fault those. I do enjoy a really good horror film, but these have been a little more stylistic UM spooking a very different way that I've appreciated. I find that that's where I'm more interested in seeing horror going because like growing up, it was always like the slasher movies that I love rallying one of my favorite movies of all time. Now is an adult nothing is going to scare me like I. I find it very hard to find a movie that's going to freak me out and give me nightmares like I look for that. I wish there was a movie like that now, but I find now with like modern horror, I like the Four Out, I like movies like the Which, movies like Midsummer which completely blew my mind the first time I watched it, And I recommended that movie to so many people, and like, like I said about four films, you either go one way or the other, because I think that's the movie I reviewed. It recommended so much that people are like, why did you recommend that to me? Oh? If I had a dollar for every time I heard why did you tell me to watch that? I would be a millionaire. And that movie just makes me feel. It makes me feel, it makes my stomach turn. I think a lot of films do that for me, even like Uncut Gems gave me the most stressful movie going experience that I've ever had. But I love that stuff. Anytime any kind of emotion that comes out of me, whether it be fear, whether it be stressed, happiness, sadness, like, that's what I look for. And four films just do that for me. And then there's just something else about it that creates this kind of community. At number one, I gotta go with Disney. Of course I knew because of the Star Wars movies, because Marvel, because the Pixar, and then just Disney animation. I feel like Disney for me is anything they put out I have to watch because I know that people who first of all listen to this podcast, those are also the movies that we're all probably gonna watch together without a doubt. Those are the movies that just constantly make the money at the box office, and whenever they come out, everybody talks about them. But also they just bring the most joy to me, like whether it be a movie with the soundtrack like in Gondo, whether it be just the next Marvel movie coming out, or I'm I'm more into the Star Wars movies coming out now, which I know people are like, how can you be into these newer ones and not be as into the original ones. I'm just all invested to everything Disney that I have to put them at number one. Disney is absolutely king, like the reason they dominate the box offices for a reason. They have, you know, the money to put into and make like quality, good fun films, and so that's like you so many people you know are like, oh, I'm too old for that whatever, whatever. No, We're never tooled for this kind of stuff to bring just like joyful, um entertaining things because are always going to produce great songs that get stuck in your head. Um, these are the movies that shape you, especially as a kid. Um, Like so many of my friends kids are now of singing. We don't talk about Bruno and like that's so cool, Like that's their generation. Um, you know, and we were singing like Lion King, Little Mermaid. Um, like the Tarzan soundtrack has a soundtrack ever gone harder? I don't think so without like reason too it what's so hard? Right? Right? They have no reason to do as well as they do, and they are constantly putting out like just really really good, refreshing stuff. And then I think at the core of it is the storytelling. Like the stories are always just so solid that if you take apart like all the animation, everything else, all like the celebrity voices in them, like just the stories themselves are for the most part, usually pretty timeless. So I feel like there are movies that over my life have taught me lessons, shape me as a human and will continue to do that for generations to come. But growing up for you, like what was a Disney movie that like like one of the first ones to resonate with you. Oh, Mulan was it for me. That was absolutely just like a strong confident woman on screen made me absolutely believe, like and like understand that like women can do everything. Um. I think she was probably the first feminist I ever saw or like recognized, which is really needed. That was like such an integral part of my childhood. Really fun to just like watch that movie again. Another soundtrack, you cannot beat it, Like to this day, I will sing like a Dark Side of the Moon or something like that at karaoke, like it's that ingrained in who I Am. Um. But yeah, lots of those movies. I it's funny. I was recently at my parents house looking through some old photos and I found in the back of a cabinet these like unwrapped vhs Lion King movies, and my parents were like, yeah, we bought those hoping we could like sell them later on, like they were going to appreciate in value, and of course, like no one watches vhs as anymore, like they're going to be worth absolutely nothing. It's kind of like the Beanie Baby scheme. Um. But I was like, it's just so funny that my parents thought that far in advance that they were like this is gonna be something worth value later on. Do you have any honorable mentions? Oh, okay, some honorable mentions of studios. I was gonna say Focus Features. UM. I feel like they're doing a really really good job. UM. Neon UM as also putting out a lot of things, and I think they do some good work in tandem UM with like Antapourna in different places like that. They've stuff, you know, it's like pretty surprising. And they've put out some good horror films too. UM So those are a couple more of my like probably like top five that I would say that aren't the like, you know, big major ones. UM. Fox of course can't beat at some good stuff. What movies are you looking forward to coming out this summer? Okay, Well, Men just got released and I'm dying to go see that. I wanted to make you guys go see it with me, but Kelsey refused. Um So that's definitely something I'm really looking forward to. UM. I've been following a lot of UM movies that can and things like that. I'm so excited for some of those releases. UM. Down the road, there's a new uh Idris Elba Toltal Switten movie. That's supposed to be insanely good, so I'll be really excited for when that comes out. All right, well, this has been fun. Thank you for doing this with me. Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me on again. Let's get into this week's movie review. I want to talk about chippen Dale Rescue Rangers, which is available now on Disney Plus. And it's time for one of my patented thirty year old guy reviews, a movie ment for children, and this is all of my efforts to be one of the most diverse movie podcasts that you can listen to cover every type of movie, and this one also lends itself to someone like me, somebody who grew up with these kind of card tune characters. And when you bring these cartoon characters back, they don't call it a reboot, they call it a comeback. But it's also playing into our emotions because we want that nostalgic feeling of what it was like. We're all kids watching these cartoons and I actually think I got that in this movie. And instead of playing the trailer for you, want to play the movie theme song that was recorded by post Malone for the movie. And here it is such a Japan, such so this movie was attacking me at all angles. One being a cartoon from back in the day, which I love, and also just post Malone being a part of this was my favorite artist. So I was already curious to watch this movie back when it was announced because you have Andy Sandberg and John Mulaney, two of my favorite funny people. Ever, I was pleasantly surprised of how well this movie was done. And the last time I had a feeling going into watching a movie like this was probably last year whenever Space Jam came out, and as I was watching Chippendale, I felt like this is the movie that Space Jam tried to be. So what this movie is about. It's Chippendale, but they are almost playing themselves as they are real life characters. So in this movie they are actual people. And Chippendale Rescue Rangers was a TV show that they got and you know, they're playing actors, so it was the story of them meeting as kids, going out to Hollywood to try to make it as actors, landing this show having to be a success for three seasons in the late eighties early nineties, and then the show getting canceled. So this movie takes place years after that in modern day where they are no longer friends but now are having to be reunited after one of their friends who also started with him on the show, their friend Mono Ray Jack, gets kidnapped, and the plot is there's this evil villain trying to kidnap all these iconic cartoon characters and efforts to change their appearance just a little bit and make these bootleg movies off of them. So chippen Dale are trying to rescue their friend. So back to the cartoon, chipping Dale. It was a little bit before my time. It came out late eighties and it was canceled by I believe nineteen. I was born in one but a lot of these cartoons really lived in syndication. I remember seeing it on TV, and I feel like it represents a lot of these animated shows that don't really get talked about a whole lot for as impactful as they were for somebody like me who didn't have cable and would just watch things that would come on repeats or like on Saturday afternoons. Like these are the kind of cartoons I live for, And it took me a little bit down memory lane, kind of even searching afterwards of all these cartoons that exist did, but I feel like people don't go back and be like, oh, I remember that cartoon. They don't get rebooted a whole lot things like Duck Tails, Rescue Rangers of Course, Bonkers, Darkwing, Duck, Gargoyles, Tailspin, goof Troop, like all those classic two D animated shows that I felt really make you feel nostalgic looking back on them. So it was cool to see some of those cartoon characters make cameos in this movie. But really this movie covered all different kinds of intellectual properties. There were Disney characters in this they were Nickelodeon characters, the Simpsons, South Park, Lego. There were so many cool references and you know, visual gags that I felt like it was the way to do this movie. It was cool that it wasn't them just trying to take a Chippendale story and make a movie out of it, kind of how Tom and Jerry did kind of how Space Jam kind of did that. And the thing that Space Jam kind of got wrong that some people didn't like myself included is it was a big flex of all the w B properties, which is cool. They're all legendary, iconic characters, and it's cool to see them all put together, but a little bit felt like kind of an HBO Max commercial and what Chippendale kind of got right, And I credited the Disney of you know, not doing the exact same thing, but they did get all these different kinds of cartoon characters involved in this movie, a lot of funny references to different kinds of animation, and really us as viewers, we can't really tell the difference like who owns what character, so it's kind of like a free for all. I really like Seth of Rogan's character in this and the joke it kind of made about his character coming from the early two thousands where the animation looked realistic but also look kind of off, like it wasn't polar expressed. There's even a part with Seth Rogan and all of his other animated characters have a scene together, so it was funny to see him voice all these different characters. But I think where this movie really shine was with the main characters being John mulaney voicing Chip and Andy Samberg voicing Dale. And I obviously love both of those people as being writers on Saturday Night Live, and I kind of felt like some of that writing, or at least that comedic timing was shown in this movie. And also what I liked about this movie is that I found kids will love it and adults will at least get something out of it, especially if you grew up with these cartoon characters. But when it came to the comedy, I think there were jokes that were genuinely written well and they didn't play off anything of like innu windows that adults would get, but kids wouldn't like they didn't really have to go there because it was just kind of funny and fun. It was also cool to see all the different animation styles get used with, you know, just between Chip and Dale, one of them is a two D character and the other one is a c G I character, and all the other cameos kind of play a balance between that. And I really like the commitment to the two D style on this because it did feel like eighties and nineties cartoon and kind of shows that you don't really have to make all of these really elaborate animated characters for that to be a fun movie. It's kind of reminiscent of who framed Roger Rabbit back in the day, where there are real life people interacting with animated characters, and there's even Roger Rabbit cameo in this. So I also give credit to all the actors in this because I think there's one scene where there's one human interacting with all animated characters, which I can imagine is a really hard thing to do when you have nothing to react to. And I think this movie is also pretty self aware, knowing that they kind of remind people, like what the cartoon was, they don't really expect you to remember it, so it pokes fun in itself if they even kind of make fun of these type of reboots in reference to them not wanting to do a rapping scene, which I feel like was kind of a job at Space Jam two, and that Porky the pig rat battle that went on. That was the moment in that movie that made me realize, like what am I watching right now? So I think they did take a little bit of a jab at that movie. So overall, this movie gave me what I was kind of expecting going into it, just the trip down memory lane, that feeling of nostalgia. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I think if you're looking for a good family film, and maybe you want to show your kids some cartoons from back in your day. This is probably a fun movie you can watch together. Or if you're like me and just need something kind of mindless and fun to enjoy, and you're a fan of John mulaney and Andy Samberg, Seth Rogan and Will Arnett, I think you'll have some fun with this one. Surprisingly, I found a lot of other adults enjoying this movie as well. So obviously I rate this movie on a bit of a different scale, it being a kid's movie, it being a movie that's not really geared towards my demographic, and I'm just rating this on pure entertainment and enjoyment value of how it made me feel. So I would give Chippendale Rescue Rangers four out of five Hawaiian Shirts. Now it's time for the part of the podcast where I break down a movie trailer of a film coming to you very soon streaming or in theaters, in a segment we like to call it's time to head down to movie Mi trail, Paul. Today we're talking about a new psychological thriller, which you know, I love me a psychological thriller. It's called Spider Heead It's coming out on Netflix on June sevent It's stars one of my favorite actors, Chris Hemsworth. Basically, it's about these prisoners who get sent away to this kind of testing facility. You have Chris Hemsworth who is running these experiments on these people using these mind altering drugs. It looks like a pretty fun trip. But here's just a little bit of that trailer. We're proud of our work, your presence in this facility. While technically a punishment is privilege in science, we have to explore the unknown and then testing me up and down a lot weirder stuff than usual, this new frontier stuff here before we begin, I need you a permission to administer that for me. This place can really miss with your knowledge knowledge. Let's do this so also in this movie, playing one of the inmates is Miles Teller, And I don't know if I'm a Miles Teller fan or not. I always enjoy his movies, But Miles Teller himself like, I don't know if I would just say I'm just a fan of his, even though I like a lot of his movies, like War Dogs, Whiplash, Spectacular Now, even like Project X. But as far as when I see him in a movie, it doesn't really make me want to watch the movie anymore, which is an interesting type of movie start to be, because I know he's a good actor, I wouldn't call him a great actor because I feel like a great actor like somebody like Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Hanks. There are somebody that no matter what I see them advertising that they're going to be in, I'm going to watch that movie. When it comes to Miles Teller, I almost feel like sometimes he is just there, like I'm looking forward to this movie. I'm also looking forward to Top Gun two, and he's also in that. But when it comes to just his bank ability, it never really takes me to that extra level of wanting to watch a movie because Miles Teller isn't it. Chris Hemsworth, on the other hand, he's almost reached that level that I will watch anything he is in no matter what. I feel like he has really just set himself in as a movie star playing Thor and I don't think he's found his identity outside of that yet. I think he's made some really good steps towards it with movies like Extraction, where he's kind of really leaning into being seen as a leading man in an action movie. But he's also done movies like The Cat Been in the Woods, which is a little more horror comedy, and now with the movie like Spider Head, it's almost an entirely different side of him. So I don't know if he's really kind of found his groove yet of what movies he wants to make outside of the m c U, Like, what are we really going to know him for and what is he really going to be the most passionate about. But this movie is directed by Joseph Kazinski, who also is the director behind the new Top Gun movie. He also did Tron Legacy, and the movie is based on a New York or short story called Escape from spider Head. Again. That movie is coming out on June. See and we've now officially reached my favorite part of every single year, and it's summer blockbuster season. I feel it usually gets started a little bit earlier with their always being like a late April early May Marvel movie release, but I feel like it really gets kicked off Memorial Day weekend with Top Gun two coming out, and after that we're just getting a bunch of fun new summer blockbuster movies. I feel like this will be the first really big blockbuster season in a very long time, because even last year was a little bit delayed, with a Black Widow being the first movie to really come out in the summer and be a movie like that. I also feel now that we are in the space to where this is the Netflix release and you kind of play this line of the big movies not always having to be in theaters but also being able to be watched at home. This movie, I feel like, really lends itself towards that type of release. And I was talking about earlier with Ali, I feel like different movies can require a different experience. Maybe a slower paced psychological thriller like this could be enjoyed at home, don't have to watch it all in one city, and can maybe watch thirty minutes and come back later and finish it up. I think there are really no rules when it comes to watching a movie at home. So that's also why I don't let longer run times really, you know, get in the way of a movie at home. You don't have the watch it all at once. But then when it comes to Top Gun two, that is a movie that I will have to see in theaters no matter what, because I want to be fully engulfed in that cinematography and get that feeling of experiencing that movie with the crowd. So I feel like this summer you can kind of pick your destiny how you want to experience movies. I'll always lean towards watching them in theaters, but with Netflix movies, you don't really have a choice. So again, that movie is coming out on June seventeen. It's called spider Head. This makes edition of movie Z. And speaking of Netflix, I did want to hit you with a mini review because over the weekend, Jackass four point five came out on Netflix and Jackass four one of my favorite movies of the year so far. And I always load the point fives because they are basically a documentary on how each movie was made. And if you're not familiar with the point five Jackass movies, it's all the stunts that didn't make it into the movie, either because they weren't really good enough to make it into the ninety minute movie or sometimes which I really liked in this one is it was stunt stet failed, which I almost find even funnier and I really like the laid back approach, and I feel like the Jackass crew, from the director Jeff Tremaine to Johnny Knoxville and Spike Jones, they really kind of shine in a movie like Jackass four point five when they're just able to talk to the camera and explain the behind the scenes of how a Jackass movie gets made. And sometimes there are pretty elaborate details into some of the things we see in the movie, and sometimes you think, oh, there had to be a big idea behind this one, but the idea was really just like Stevo coming up with this ridiculous idea and then being like, all right, we'll try that, and they try to film it, and sometimes it goes terribly. I think in Jackass four point five there were maybe two bits that I think we're worthy enough to make it into the movie because they were pretty well put together. It was probably just them, you know, not wanting to make the movie any longer than it was that those bits didn't make it. I just like the feeling of them kind of being disarmed and you know, talking to the camera and then not being as polished. So for a big Jackass fan like myself, I always enjoy this and I think you would too, And it's funny for somebody like me who does a little bit of comedy writing to see how you can have an idea that seems funny on paper and then when you actually try and do it, you realize how dumb it is. So it's just cool to see that creative process. There were some pretty good physical stunts in four point five, but also they're patented male nudity, which they did say in this movie that they set a record with the most male nudity in a theatrical release, So maybe not Oscar worthy, but they get some kind of reward for that. But that will do it for this week's episode. Before I hop out of here. Every single week I give my listeners shout out to somebody who emailed in movie Mike d at gmail dot com or hit me up on any form of social media. This week, I wanted to shout out everybody who commented with the secret emoji that I talked about last week. So this is everybody who commented with the lightning bolt on my video, either on Instagram or TikTok. So shout out to Ricky Douglas, Joel all Heid, Denise Watson, Mac Lakener, and also shout out to the movie cast thanks for leaving that comment in support of last week's interviews. If you missed that episode with my interviews with the production designer and some of the casts from The Batman, you can go back one episode and check that one out. And also last week I posted the spoiler version of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so that review is up. If you've seen that movie and want to hear all the spoilers get talked about, just go back one episode in the feed. But until next week, go out and watch good movies and I'll talk to you later. M
