97th Oscar Predictions + Movie Review: The Brutalist + Trailer Park: The Monkey

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I am your host, Movie Mike, joined by my wife and cost Kelsey. How are you? Oh your Mike's not on? How are you again?

00:00:08
Speaker 2: I'm tired.

00:00:08
Speaker 1: Sorry Mike wasn't on. It's on now. We have a lot to get to. We're gonna talk about the OSCAR nominations. I'll give my prediction movie review. We're talked about The Brutalist, and in the trailer park a new horror kind of comedy movie called The Monkey. Like I said, a lot to get to. Oh you're here, all right? Ready to go? Ready to go.

00:00:26
Speaker 2: We should not be recording this in the evening. I do not have that kind of energy.

00:00:29
Speaker 1: We'll explain that in a second. Thank you for being subscribed. Chaut to the Monday Morning Movie Crew. And now let's talk movies from the Diastrolle podcast network. In cases Movie Mike Movie Podcast. I'm a little hyped up. It is the ninety seventh Oscar Academy Awards. So far, the only thing that's been delayed is the nominations. They came out a little bit later because of the LA wildfires, but they're still set to go down Sunday, March second, Conan O'Brien is hosting their host before No, okay, they're on AB see. I always love the Oscars no matter what movies are nominated, it just feels like a special event. To me.

00:01:05
Speaker 2: It's your super Bowl.

00:01:07
Speaker 1: The super Bowl is also my super Bowl.

00:01:08
Speaker 2: But realized that as I said it.

00:01:10
Speaker 1: But yes, it also it feels like that level of event to me. To most people, they say, I haven't seen a lot of these movies nominated, why would I care? And those are the same people who say that everything's a rebate rebate You remember get having ascend in rebates, everything is a reboot.

00:01:26
Speaker 2: I would love a rebate right now.

00:01:27
Speaker 1: Or everything is a sequel, so you can't say both things.

00:01:30
Speaker 2: What's harder now is that like they don't come out just in theaters, like some of them are only indie theaters. I would agree with that, Like it's very hard to keep track of where to watch all of the Best Picture nominees.

00:01:41
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can only watch them at home. Yet the renom and it's the twenty bucks price. That is the thing I wish would happen, and I know it's all they try to get it into a certain window. Some of these are from smaller studios, so they don't have wide releases. But I wish by the time the nominations came out they were available to watch either on the streaming service or you could rent them for the normal four to six bucks.

00:02:01
Speaker 2: I'm not renting a movie for twenty dollars.

00:02:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, that just feels like I need to go experience it for twenty bucks. But for some people they'll do that. But let's get right into it. You'll read the nominees. I'll give you to crack your neck.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: Did that come through on those Oh?

00:02:15
Speaker 1: It came through.

00:02:16
Speaker 2: I realized that as I did it. I boxed tonight and my shoulders are sore because it was upper body day and my neck and my shoulders are really tight. So apologies a little asmr there.

00:02:28
Speaker 1: But you'll go read the category, read the nominees, and I'll predict who is gonna win. We'll talk about surprises and snubs. Kick it off with the first category.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: We have best Picture.

00:02:38
Speaker 1: Oh, the big Daddy.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: Please never say that again.

00:02:40
Speaker 1: It's the big Daddy category.

00:02:42
Speaker 2: I don't like that.

00:02:43
Speaker 1: Okay, the big one.

00:02:44
Speaker 2: Are you done?

00:02:45
Speaker 1: Yes, I've done? Now go ahead.

00:02:47
Speaker 2: We have a Noor, Wicked Conclave, Amelia Perez, Dune Part two, The Brutalist, The Substance, A complete unknown. I'm still here in Nickel Boys.

00:02:58
Speaker 1: The surprise here, I think is Amelia Perez, just because I feel overall it has the most nominations. And I watched that movie and I just didn't quite see what made that movie Best Picture worthy.

00:03:10
Speaker 2: And I seeing clips on TikTok and that was I've seen what I need to do.

00:03:13
Speaker 1: I will say the clips make it seem worse than it is. The way I was exposed to it first was everybody calling out Selena Gomez for her Spanish. It was Henny Dibez, who is a great Mexican actor, one of my mom's favorite actors, and he was basically saying that they should have had somebody who had more authentic Spanish speaking. I didn't think it was that distracting. The problem was that she speaks such good English that the going back and forth between English and Spanish is very jarring. I feel like to do that role you almost have to play it a little bit closer because the character is supposed to be fluent in Spanish from Mexico and then also knows English but her English is way too perfect, almost like California English that I mean Selena Gomez speaks. Now. Yeah, it was also hard for me to root for her, the main character who was a bad person, because what that movie is about, it's a drug lord, cartel leader who wants to change their entire life, change their gender, and then kind of it's like, can you change who you are with? It was hard for me to see past the awful things that they did. And I think it's because my parents are from Mexico. Every time they go down there, their biggest fear is running into the cartel, and I know how much that traumatizes people. It was hard for me to have any sympathy towards that kind of character. And I know the whole thing is supposed to be redemption and she's doing good things later in life, but if you look back on the things that not just her character particular, but anybody in the cartel does, it's like, is that forgivable?

00:04:41
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it is forgivable, but is there a way to move forward and be grateful that they're no longer doing those things and doing good things now? Because the other path is just keep doing bad things true, I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

00:04:54
Speaker 1: That was hard for me. Aside from that, I thought it was a pretty decent movie except for the singing. That's the part that it was just like this. If it didn't have that in there, it would be a much stronger movie, and maybe it would have moved me a little bit more. Maybe I would have felt a little bit more for the character. But it was all the musical aspects that I thought, they're only putting this in to make it feel different, because aside from that, I don't know if it would have stood out as much. So that is what I feel like is the surprise here. Even though it had the most nominations, I think the winner here, I'm gonna go with the movie. I'm finally gonna endorse. I'm going with The Substance. I love that movie, and for a category that doesn't have one movie that as soon as we watched it, I thought that was Best Picture worthy. The only movie I even mentioned that in the review was when I first reviewed The Substance back opening weekend. So that is what I'm going with the winner here. I'm going with my heart. The snubs, no challengers.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: It was pretty surprising.

00:05:47
Speaker 1: I thought overall Challengers would have had at least one or two nomination, especially in Best Picture. I thought that was a snub. A Real Pain didn't get a nomination for Best Picture. That was my second pick to win. I said, I want it to be the substance, and if the substance doesn't win, I want it to be a real pain. But now a real pain is not even nominated. I also thought maybe d D would get nominated.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: So can I add a snub?

00:06:10
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:06:10
Speaker 2: Sing Sing?

00:06:11
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, Sing Sing is not Best Picture. And there are a lot of movies on here. That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten movies. Yeah, I would have probably taken out a complete unknown.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: I think i'd have taken out Dune Part two, Dune Parts I like to call it News Part two.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: Timothy Shalloway again. Yeah, it's rare for also sequels to get nominated. I would have taken down both of the Timothy Shallowy movies. Sorry, Tommy, put Sing Sing and put Challengers in there, just because I think those will be more definitive For twenty twenty four, next category.

00:06:40
Speaker 2: Best Actor in a Leading Role. If Adrian Brody, the Brutalist Coleman Domingo sing Sing, Ray Fines Conklive, Timothy Chalomy and a complete unknown and Sebastian Stan and The Apprentice going.

00:06:53
Speaker 1: Through some surprises here. I'm surprised Sebastian Stan got a nomination surprise snub. I would say Denzel for Glady, but can you just get nominated for being Denzel? I thought his performance was the best character in that movie.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: They should just have like the Denzel a War, but I don't think it.

00:07:10
Speaker 1: Was best actor worthy. Now I'm gonna do process of elimination here on who I think is gonna win. I think you take out Timothy Chalamey and Sebastian Stan. Timothy Schallamey was good as Bob Dylan, but there were times where I felt his performance was a little bit weak, and Timothy Shallo May kind of shined through.

00:07:26
Speaker 2: It's very meta. It was like Timothy Schallamey being Timothy Shallamey, and I.

00:07:30
Speaker 1: Could see that in there, and I think in a great bio pick, you should not see that at all. You should only see that character. So for that reason, I don't think he deserves it.

00:07:37
Speaker 2: I didn't go full Austin Butler.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't fully embrace it, live in it for that long. Sebastian stan I'm surprised he's even in the category. I'm taking him off. Ray Fines was great in Conclave, great and everything he's he has such range. I mean, he can do Voltimore and he can do Conclave. His performance was so powerful in this movie, and I found myself really enjoying it. But I don't think wins.

00:08:00
Speaker 2: Can I make a comparison there? He goes from the dark lord to a man of the Lord.

00:08:03
Speaker 1: That is true. I didn't even think about that.

00:08:06
Speaker 2: Thank you was real singer.

00:08:07
Speaker 1: And then Covid Domingo is the one I want to win. I love.

00:08:13
Speaker 2: Bad I am such a fan of his.

00:08:16
Speaker 1: I can visualize him going up there and giving his speech. I just love his voice. I could hear him just he could read.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: The phone book and I'd be like, cool, let me listen.

00:08:24
Speaker 1: I would listen to his Chick fil a order. His voice is just like But I think it's easily Adrian Brody, probably just.

00:08:30
Speaker 2: Because the movies three and a half hours long. I feel like that guarantees you it's historical.

00:08:36
Speaker 1: He's won in the past, and I feel like putting him against all these other performances. He is going to win. I think that is an easy call. I would put money that gold gold. I would put money that Yeah is going to take the gold home. That's what I'll try to say.

00:08:52
Speaker 2: Adrian Brode, I said Brody, Oh, so like you put a little emphasis on Adrian Brode.

00:08:57
Speaker 1: I do have a hard time spelling Adrian. Never want to spell it the way he spells it.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: It's kind of like gray g r A y g r U. I.

00:09:05
Speaker 1: But for Best Actor Leading Role, Adrian Brody.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Next category, Best Actress in a Leading Role, we have Mikey Madison, Honora, Cynthia Arrivo, Wicked, Demi Moore, The Substance, Carla Sophia gascon For, Amilia Prez and Fernando Torres.

00:09:21
Speaker 1: I'm still here a couple first time nominees here. Demi Moore, I.

00:09:25
Speaker 2: Think it's to me?

00:09:27
Speaker 1: Is it to me?

00:09:27
Speaker 2: I think it's to me?

00:09:28
Speaker 1: It could be the right way to say. I've said Demi Moore my entire life.

00:09:32
Speaker 2: I swear it was one of those where it was like we've all been saying this wrong forever.

00:09:35
Speaker 1: Could be Demi miss Moore, Miss Moore. Her Golden Globe win was the first award she'd ever won.

00:09:42
Speaker 2: That was shocking.

00:09:44
Speaker 1: That is wild to me.

00:09:45
Speaker 2: It's one of those where you're like, you're a household name, how have you never won her award before?

00:09:50
Speaker 1: And her speech was great that a producer told her that she was just a popcorn actress. She would never win an award like that. She was on that stage winning that award.

00:09:57
Speaker 2: I mean, the woman shaved her head for Gi Jane.

00:09:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, Fernanda Torre is also a first time nominee. My surprises and snubs. No Zendaya for Challengers, you know know, Nicole Kidman for Baby Girl.

00:10:08
Speaker 2: Also, I want to point out that Carlo Sophia Gascon is the first ever openly transactress to be nominated for an acting award.

00:10:15
Speaker 1: So who do I think is going to win here? I think the fact that Cynthia Arrivo is nominated is more of it's an honor to be nominated, even though she did fantastic in that because if you think about just the performance she gave compared to everybody else, the acting and the singing both at a ten. But I think Wicked is going to have a hard time winning these awards just because it was so big. It was so big, it had commercial success. It's sometimes hard for those movies to win.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: Did Barbie win anything?

00:10:42
Speaker 1: I think for music, But as far when it came to acting, yeah, and even direct Greta Gerwick should have won.

00:10:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:10:49
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the big, bigger awards, it is hard for those commercially successful movies to win, which is another flaw in the system. I don't think Mikey Madison is going to win. I'm going with Demi because not only is she my favorite performance out of anybody here, I think she put the most on the line in that character was very vulnerable. It's also very much a reflection of her career. That's what she said, Like, the reason she took this movie is because she felt this way that when she reached a certain age in her career, she thought she was done and wasn't gonna work. And that's what the substance is all about. She has her fiftieth birthday, she gets fired from her job, and they want to replace her with a newer, younger person. So I'm going with Demi or Demi Moore. I think she is gonna win for Best Actress.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: Next category, all right, we have best Actor in a supporting role. We have Kieran Colkin a Real Pain, Edward Norton a complete unknown guy, Pierce the Brutalist, you, Rob Borisov.

00:11:47
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Sarah.

00:11:48
Speaker 2: Apologies if I butcher in that. I do listen to pronunciations before we do this, but there's some that are hard, and I try Jeremy Strong the Apprentice.

00:11:55
Speaker 1: No real surprises or snubs here. I think the fact that A Real Pain kind of has two supporting not really one lead roles. I wouldn't know where to put Jesse Eisenberg. Would you have been lead? I mean, because they had like equal parts almost, but I think he would have been lead. Okay then, so I don't even think he's a snub here. I'm just putting all my chips in the A Real Pain basket on this one. I love Kieran Colkin. I said that after watching that movie too. In my review of that I said he'll probably win an Oscar for it. Out of anybody on this list. He's just the most likable too, and I love that movie so good, probably my second favorite out of all of these nominated movies. So I'm gonna go with Kieran Colkin. Best Actor in a supporting role.

00:12:37
Speaker 2: Next category, Zoe Saldania Amelia Perez as actress right, sorry, yes, best actress in sporting role. Sorena Grande have two last names.

00:12:46
Speaker 1: That's what caught me off guard.

00:12:47
Speaker 2: I was like, who is that Ariana Grande Utera for Wicked.

00:12:52
Speaker 1: I never had that name attached to her ever before.

00:12:55
Speaker 2: Isabella Rossellini conclive, I like, how you put the pronunciation for us Italian and Monica Barbaro for a complete unknown, Felicity Jones for the Brutalist. Sorry, I should have said an Felicity Jones. She was the last one.

00:13:10
Speaker 1: This is a tough one. The surprise and snub here, I feel is no Margaret Quayley, who was also fantastic in the substance for the Winner. I would love to see Ariana Grande wind Uterra Tara because I found so much joy in her character and the way she played it, and I want.

00:13:29
Speaker 2: People to take her seriously as an actress. I feel like this was kind of the role that people were like, oh, like, she has some acting chops and she.

00:13:37
Speaker 1: Can sing really well, and to go from being on Nickelodeon, and I just feel like that would be a cool moment. I also think with the Oscars not really appealing to younger people at all, ariana Grande winning an Oscar would maybe get some people to care who don't normally care about these awards.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: Do you think there's people that are just like, what are the Oscars?

00:13:58
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah, but I think it's gonna be He's always al Donna.

00:14:01
Speaker 2: They don't remember the great Oscar selfie of like two thousand and something.

00:14:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty sixteen.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: Or when like Jimmy Kimmel went into the theaters and was like delivering pizza. Oh yeah, great Oscars moments.

00:14:13
Speaker 1: I'm going with its always all Donna.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: All right, Next category Director, we have Jacques Oudier for Amelia Prez, Brady Corbett the Brutalist, Sean Baker Anorra, Edward Berga for Conclave, James Mangold a complete Unknown, and Corley Farge for The Substance.

00:14:33
Speaker 1: Surprised that Denieville Knew was not nominated for Best Director here for Doune. He is one of those top tier directors that just has a filmography that kind of warrants that that whenever he puts out a movie, he's going to get nominated. And I know you're not always a shoe in, but he's on that same level of a Quentin Tarantino, of a Christopher Nolan. That they make a movie I think is nominated. That just happens. But he wasn't nominated for Doune two. I don't think he was nominated for Doune one either, And I saw a lot of people who are involved in that movie, like Josh Brolin, say like it's a travesty that he wasn't nominated. So I was just surprised by that. Do you have any snubs here?

00:15:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, John Cheu for Wicked.

00:15:14
Speaker 1: I think people forget how hard it is to make a movie on that scale and.

00:15:19
Speaker 2: The fact that they did two parts. I saw someone I think it was Kate Kennedy on Instagram. She said, maybe he'll get it, like when Wicked Part two comes out and the whole thing is complete, Like maybe they're waiting. But I do think that's a snub because I think to direct not only a movie, but a musical of that caliber and where your actresses are doing everything live, I think he totally should have been nominated, And I agree.

00:15:42
Speaker 1: With you, I think that is a snub. I also think the director for Challengers should have been nominated here, who I think is going to win and also who I want to win. I'm going with Cora Lee Farjov for the substance who is representing the women directors here, which if you look at all the people nominated, is she the only woman? Yeah, she's the only woman nominated.

00:16:05
Speaker 2: Seem men are surprised by this women or not, so I yeah, But then it's like, is it gonna be a Greta Gerwig? And like the woman's not gonna win.

00:16:12
Speaker 1: I think she has to win here just because I really feel like watching that movie, it was all about her vision because if you give this script to anybody else, I don't know that they could execute it like she did. And that of all of the styles of film in this category, I think it is truly the most unique and truly the most and biggest testament to the director, and that's what this category should be. So I think she's gonna win. I also think she would give a fantastic award speech, and I always think about that. I always think, like, who'd I want to see go up there and accept the award because that's a big part of it me because that's always my favorite thing to go back and listen to all the all the speeches. So that is my pick, substance director.

00:16:57
Speaker 2: All right, Next we have best cinematography. We have Maria the Brutalist, your favorite one to say, Amelia Prez and Done two.

00:17:07
Speaker 1: Dune two is probably the easy pick here because it is very visually interesting despite it not being as exciting as we hoped it would be. It's pretty snoozy Dune two. Dune one was totally snoozy. Doune two had more action, but overall, I still feel like it was very slow paced, but turns on.

00:17:28
Speaker 2: I'm just not a Duton girl.

00:17:29
Speaker 1: I'm not really either, and I'm a nerd. I should be loving Dune. Most nerds love it. But visually, I think is where this movie really stands apart from all these other movies. So you would say that it would be an easy win for Best Cinematography, but I think it's going in because it has like these very iconic old horror movie images that I feel were more cinematic than anything that Done two did. That they almost look these little paintings that they did that even though it's a horror movie, I feel it deserves to win more than a big sci fi movie. Even though it feels like a smaller scale, I just feel like the cinematography is more artistic. So I'm going with al Right, next category.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: You have Best International Feature Film Flow, I'm still here Amelia Perez, The Seed of the Sacred fig and The Girl with the Needle.

00:18:22
Speaker 1: I think it goes to Amelia Perez, and with that movie having the most nominations, I feel like it'll at least come away with one. If it does end up losing here, I think it's going to show you that just because you get a lot of nominations doesn't mean you get a lot of wins. Last year, Killers of the Flower Moon I think had ten nominations. It was like the third most. It won zero.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a snub. Not over that one.

00:18:47
Speaker 1: That was a big snub.

00:18:48
Speaker 2: Lily Gladstone deserved to win, honestly, could have been Best Picture.

00:18:52
Speaker 1: But I think when you see like how many nominations a movie gets, you think, oh, that has to be an easy win. Sometimes you just don't win any So I think the category the movie does have the best chance to win here is here, So I'm going with that as the winner.

00:19:07
Speaker 2: Next up, Best Animated Feature Film, Flow Inside Out too, The Wild Robot, Memoir of a Snail, and Wallace and Grammat Vengeance Most Foul.

00:19:16
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that movie. I like the Walles and Grammed movies.

00:19:23
Speaker 2: I'm not really big into clamation oh.

00:19:24
Speaker 1: I love Claymation.

00:19:26
Speaker 2: I like to Chicken Run.

00:19:27
Speaker 1: I love Donn and the Nugget. I think there's just something What is Down of the Nugget is one of the spin off same creator interesting.

00:19:36
Speaker 2: I must miss that one.

00:19:38
Speaker 1: I just love the style of animation, the fact that, I mean it's truly just taking an object moving a little bit, taking a picture moving. It just something tangible in film. It's just still exciting to me because I'm a big fan of like practical effects. So the fact that they can still make movies like this and they get nominated for awards and they still do pretty well on Netflix, they're still making them. Wallace and Grammat the Franchise is a six time OSCAR nominee. That's wild So I enjoyed it, but I don't think that one is going to win. I am really excited that The Wild Robot got nominated.

00:20:09
Speaker 2: I loved that movie.

00:20:11
Speaker 1: It is my favorite. I wanted to win again. I think it's that commercial success, which I would love it for Chris Sanders. I would love it for Maren Morris, who was a part of this movie. Inside Out too, I think is kind of the we'll give this to you nomination. It was really good. It's the highest grossing movie of the year last year.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if it was Oscar level.

00:20:32
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the only sequel in the Disney Pixar franchise that I believe deserved to win was Toy Story three. I don't think Inside Out two is on that level. I'm gonna go with Flow here, but I would love for the Wild Robot to win.

00:20:47
Speaker 2: I would love for that to be like surprise. Yeah, I would love to be for you to be wrong.

00:20:52
Speaker 1: I would love to be wrong on this one, dude.

00:20:53
Speaker 2: Next up, Best Original Song el Mal from Amelia Prez, The Journey from the six Triple Eight, Like a Bird from Sing Sing, Mikamino from Amelia Perez, and Never Too Late from Elton John Never Too Late.

00:21:07
Speaker 1: I always find it wild when two things from the same movie get nominated in the same category, because I feel it splits the vote.

00:21:15
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's kind of cheating, Like that is kind of cheating.

00:21:17
Speaker 1: They did the same thing in The Golden Globes and that song still won, and Model still won. The me Camino. I think that's the Selina Gomez one. Yeah, the Amot I think that's the one that you saw a clip up and said, this is terrible.

00:21:29
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about that clip.

00:21:31
Speaker 1: But I just can't pull for those songs because I didn't like any of the music from that movie. So even though I think it'll probably win again here, I'm gonna go with Like a Bird from Sing Sing because I want to see that movie win an award.

00:21:43
Speaker 2: I want that movie to have success.

00:21:45
Speaker 1: And that song had like that level of power to that movie. It added that level of power where that movie is very you think it's gonna be a little bit more gritty because it is like a prison movie.

00:22:00
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be totally different.

00:22:02
Speaker 1: And I thought there was gonna be a lot of tension in it. But it's a surprisingly really warm and soft inviting story a lot about these people in prison, and I think that Like a Bird song is kind of representative of that of It's also like a slower, sweeter, tender song, but has like a slight little bit of edge to it because it is a prison movie. So I want that movie to win more awards again. I would love Coleman Domingo to win. I hope they at least get this one. I'm going with like a Bird from Sing Sing all Right.

00:22:33
Speaker 2: Next, Best Original Score Conclave, Amelia Prez, The Brutalist, The Wild Robot, and Wicked.

00:22:40
Speaker 1: I think this one is easily Conclave. Whenever I first made my notes after watching that movie, I said it had a fantastic score because it's so driving and it makes it feel like a horror movie. That movie, in no way is a horror movie, but it almost adds like this level of tension that's like driving the entire time. Dunt very cinematic, a lot of strings, and it just feels chilling the entire time. And that definitely took that movie up a level.

00:23:09
Speaker 2: The addition of strings does make something feel a little It makes it more like everywhere on my arm stands up.

00:23:14
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of tension in that movie. There's a lot of confrontation, and the score adds to that. Wild Robot has a good score, but I think the actual song I don't really consider the songs with lyrics a part of the score, Like, I feel like that's part of the soundtrack. So I feel like the score in the Wild Robot is in a strong same thing with Wicked, Like do you consider the songs a part of the score. I don't. I don't feel like that's the same thing. Like the score to me is like the instrumentation. And I think even when they play it in the categories the nominees, I don't think they put anything with lyrics because that would be a Best Original Song, right.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know that I've ever thought about.

00:23:52
Speaker 1: That because when I think a score, I just think instrumental music, and there is obviously a score behind everything in Wick, but I don't feel like that's as prevalent as the actual song. So I feel like in this category I would be voting for the songs, but when I really didn't think the score itself was that impactful. Yeah, so I'm going easily with Conclave and we only have a few categories left. What do we got?

00:24:16
Speaker 2: But we gotta talk about the snub for the score.

00:24:19
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, challengers, it won the Golden Globe.

00:24:22
Speaker 2: I mean that score alone, that one song, Like, yeah.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: You talk about adding tension to a scene.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: Surprise snub both I bet.

00:24:31
Speaker 1: Trent Reznor is rolling around and his millions of dollars, Like, ah, I didn't get the Oscar nomination.

00:24:37
Speaker 2: All right. Next we have best makeup and hairstyling the substance Wicked Amelia Perez a different man and.

00:24:46
Speaker 1: Did have some a lot of crazy makeup and hairstyling.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: A different man.

00:24:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, different mandang. They all have some pretty hardcore makeup and hairstyling. And then you think about Wicked Cynthia Reo having to be green for so long.

00:24:59
Speaker 2: And like she would have to there's days where like just her face would be green, her whole body just to face in her hands.

00:25:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do you account for how many hours the person had to be in hair and makeup. Oh, that's a tough one. Also the fact that they were able to do all the same things basically all the same things they did from the Wizard of Oz, but nobody got sick or hurt, yeah, or health issues from the makeup and hair. I'm going with the substance just because Demi Moore takes on a crazy transformation in that the entire third act of hair and makeup is wild. Also, how much they transformed Margaret Quayley in that movie. Even she talked about the prosthetics they used on her.

00:25:44
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she talked about in her chest.

00:25:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that is wild. I'm going to go with the substance.

00:25:50
Speaker 2: All right, best costume design kick us off. I also just want people to be as annoyed as I've been for the past month listening to you say that Wicked Gladiator too a complete unknown in conclave.

00:26:03
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this one of the Wicked.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: Cast, I think so.

00:26:06
Speaker 1: I think those costumes were the most extravagant. No, Swaratu also had some Like anytime you do a period piece, a lot goes into that wardrobe. Sometimes when I think best costume design, I always think anything old is gonna win, just because it feels like they had to make every single piece of clothing, because you're not gonna go out and find those you have the tailor everything. Gladiator two not really anything crazy going on there.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: The shock for me is a complete unknown. I'm sorry. Go to every vintage store in New York and you just found Bob Dylan's wardrobe.

00:26:42
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan doesn't really wear any extravagant like on stage things like you would for like Elton John or the Bohemian Rhap City movie. Yeah, yeah, that did Wild Why did that sneak in there? And then Conclave, I mean, yeah, it's it's an interesting costume, but I don't feel like that's worthy of an Oscar. So I'm go Wicked. I want Wicked to win here.

00:27:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right? Best Visual Effects doing part two Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Alien Romulus, Better Man and Wicked.

00:27:10
Speaker 1: This is where dude gets it. They get the Visual Effects Award. We're doing part two next up. You're like, like ether Win, I would have wanted and Your Mind Dead pull Wolverine. And there was some sus CD I in that there.

00:27:23
Speaker 2: Was I all right. Best Adapted Screenplay a complete Unknown, Conclave Amelia Perez Nickel Boys, and Sing Sing.

00:27:34
Speaker 1: This is essentially they take like a book or a story and turn it into a movie. I'm going with Sing Sing Yeah.

00:27:39
Speaker 2: I'm also kind of surprised Wicked wasn't though, Oh yeah, because it is a book. But I mean I want Sing Sing to win.

00:27:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm going with Sing Sing here, all right.

00:27:47
Speaker 2: And then final one is Best Original Screenplay anor the Brutal Brutalist, a real pain. September five is September five, September five, okay, and the substance.

00:27:58
Speaker 1: I think this is where Jesse Eisenberg gets his Oscar. I want to see him go once the agent accept this. I think he wrote the best original screenplay, just straight up.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:07
Speaker 1: That entire movie is all based on the screenplay, Like the writing in that the dialogue, all of the layers of that story is all on the page, and you can feel it while watching that movie. It's also the execution of them as actors and him directing. But I think the true heart of that movie is the screenplay. So I'm going with a real pain to recap here most nominations. Amelia Perez has thirteen, Wicked has ten, The Brutalist has ten as well. Complete Unknown has eight. I feel like they're gonna come home the most empty handed. I feel like it was kind of Oscar bait Timothy Chalomay's performance in that it just felt very Oscar baby to me. Even the time it came out. That was them saying we want this movie to be considered. I enjoyed it, but I don't think it's at the level of winning. An Oscar Conclave has eight. Ho Nora has six. I don't think of Noora is gonna win a whole lot. Doune Part two has five. The Substance has five, not as many as some of the top ones, but I think if it can win the big ones, that's all that matters. Has four.

00:29:12
Speaker 2: So overall, everyone's got time to make their scorecards.

00:29:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, see what you want to win. We'll look back and see what I got right, what I got wrong.

00:29:21
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't agree with all of these, which didn't have time to go through my opinions. This isn't the Kelsey Podcast.

00:29:26
Speaker 1: What do you have for Best Picture?

00:29:28
Speaker 2: I mean, I almost kind of feel like the Brutalists might take it, but I could see the Substance winning. I mean, I'm just kind of going for what I want. Like I'd love Coleman Domingo to win. Best Actor, I would love I would love Demeanmoor, but I would also love Cynthia Reville. That's a hard one. Best Actor. I agree with you, Kieren Colkin Best Actress. I'm gonna go Ariana Grande debut Tara Best Director. I do think I agree with you. Brady Corbett one the Golden Globe, though I think those are the only ones that I really disagreed with, and it's more like wishful thinking.

00:30:02
Speaker 1: All right, well, those are the nominees again. Oscars are going down on Sunday, March second, unless they delay.

00:30:09
Speaker 2: It cleary calendars.

00:30:10
Speaker 1: I will be there. I'll wear my tex You will not be there, oh man, I'll be there on my couch watching it with my tuxedo hoodie.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: We gotta hear it about, honey.

00:30:20
Speaker 1: I know it's a tradition. I wear it every single year.

00:30:22
Speaker 2: Better days.

00:30:24
Speaker 1: We'll come back and I'll give my thoughts on the Brutalists, which we've been talking about here.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: We've talked about it a lot.

00:30:33
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of The Brutalist Nominated for Best Picture, Adrian and Brody is up for Best Actor. The director, Brady Corbet is up for Best Director. The question I think most people want to know is this movie worth three and a half hours. It's a long one. I think up to date it is the longest movie I've ever seen in theaters. I don't mind a three hour movie if a director and a story is big enough and warrants that runtime, and I'm able to go and enjoy it and not even think about it. I am all for it. I'll kill an afternoon enjoying a great movie if it's truly a story that required it. And I think that is a big question. Once you get to that three hour mark. You have to have a reason to keep people there that long. When it comes to the brutalist, I actually think it was worth that three and a half hour runtime. I found myself at the end saying I want a little bit more. I don't know exactly why I want more, but the way the story unfolded, I found myself fully enjoying it. I'll get into how I felt about the intermission because I've never seen a movie this long. I've never even seen a movie with an intermission like this. But what the movie is about. You have Adrian Brody who is a Holocaust survivor. Even though they don't really get into that a whole lot, it's almost just implied. Unless I missed it, there wasn't an explicit part where he talked about being a Holocaust survivor, but the movie takes place shortly after the Holocaust. His character is named Loslow. He is this really smart, brilliant architect, smart brilliant kind of the same thing, but he has to escape his home country, moved to the United States, moves to Philadelphia to go work for his cousin in a furniture store, and he is an immigrant trying to restart his life in a country that doesn't really want him. So he is having to start all over, which I thought was an entirely different immigrant story that I'm kind of used to you. I have parents who are both from Mexico. They came from nothing, so when they got here without anything, it wasn't as big of a culture shock for them because coming to the United States for them was their ticket to a better life. They went being able to work in fields in Mexico and not make anything, and here the American dream, they could put in that same effort, put in that same work, and now they could start building towards something. When it comes to Adrian Brodie's character. In his country, he was this really renowned architect who was celebrated for his work, created these amazing structures that were modern ahead of its time. But suddenly he gets to the United States and he has to start all over. He is living in a shelter, he is trying just to make enough money for food, has no place to stay. He also struggles with addiction, which was an underlying theme of the entire movie. I thought that was kind of going to be the focus of it, of him trying to be an architect but dealing with drug issues. That was kind of the thing about this movie is there's not this one big exposition. Even after the movie, when I did feel I wanted more, I found myself wondering why. I found myself saying what exactly was the purpose of this movie? What exactly were they trying to say? And I've been spending some time now after watching it, going back and putting the pieces together. So I will say I think this will be a hard movie for me to recommend to people one because of that runtime, even though I feel it does warrant it. There's nothing crazy that happens that you're following the entire time, like this happens to him, and then he has to do this, and then he has to do this, And there's not a whole lot of crazy action. It is a very large scale drama that unfolds very subtly, and it's a really big, deep dive into this character learning all of his flaws and all the things that make him great, the reasons why he has tortured, the overall perils and dark side of chasing that American dream and coming to this country and realizing you can't trust everybody, which I think is something I learned from my parents. Sometimes people would take advantage of them. They would either go try to find a job, or somebody would say, hey, come work for me. They're working for him, and then they screw them. So there's a hard thing for people who come here of just knowing who to trust. How was the other part of this story is you find yourself thinking did this actually happen? Was this actually a real person? And it's actually not. It's a fictional story, not based on a real person. Although some historical events obviously like the Holocaust and other elements of this story actually did happen. I found myself even wondering what does the title mean when it's the Brutalist. When I heard that title, I thought it meant he was going to face I don't know, maybe get beaten up or maybe something hardcore. The brutalist is actually a reference to an architecture style called brutalism, which is something that he was known for. It is a French phrase. I'm going to butcher this, but it's called bitone brute, which means raw concrete. He was all about the raw concrete. I actually think the design looks fantastic. At that time in the forties and fifties, I have to imagine it looked way ahead of its time. I feel even now it still looks pretty modern. And this entire movie is him just trying to build something. So that's why I say it's a hard movie to recommend because I don't even think it's a slow burn, because sometimes a slow burn indicates that eventually it ramps up to a lot of action. It is just about the journey of this movie. They even make a reference in a quote in this movie that I love that sometimes it's not about the journey, it is about the destination, which I feel is almost the reverse of explaining this movie, because it is kind of that journey that you go through with this character, and it's not so much about where you find yourself at the end. I don't even think that is fully important, and I think to some people that may kind of piss you off, and you get to the end and think, what did I watch, but I found myself enjoying the director's ability to really flesh out and understand all the inner workings of this character. And I think that is what makes this movie compelling, that I felt like I was there with him, and there are some movies you watch where they don't feel like movies at all. I felt like I was in this world like I was in the nineteen forties. In the nineteen fifties. Maybe it has to do with the way this movie was filmed, the cinematography, some of the shots. It felt very intimate. There were moments where I felt like I shouldn't be there watching it, and I think with that type of storytelling, that is really what made it feel like it was worthy of that three plus hour runtime because you kind of just let it steep in and enjoy it. The dialogue is really important throughout this entire movie, so it is when you have to pay attention to because if you miss something, then you might miss a pretty big plot point. And I think that is why I really enjoyed the fact that this movie had a fifteen minute intermission, which I hadn't experienced before. I had a little bit of hesitation going into it because the movie is listed at three hours and thirty five minutes. I thought it was gonna be a fifteen minut intermission. On top of that, I'm like, that's almost four hours right there, not including the ten to fifteen minutes of previews. How it actually broke down is the intermission hit around an hour and forty minutes. There's a fifteen minute intermission, came back for another hour and twenty eight minutes, and then after that there is a six minute epilogue, which is really quick. I thought that was going to be longer. So you get about three hours and fourteen minutes of film fifteen minute intermission, so you're there for a total about three hours and thirty minutes unless you stay around for credits. And I really feel like having that fifteen minute intermission really made it easier to take in because I've gone through these long movies before, and it was the ability to get up, go to the lobby, grab a drink. We saw it at the Bell Court. I got me a lemon lacroix, went to the bathroom and came back and I had about four minutes left until the movie started again, So it was kind of a good reset, I thought, I wasn't going to enjoy that because I don't really like to stop them on mentum once I'm at a movie and I'm fully in the story. But I think, given that there wasn't anything high paced or crazy amount of action in this movie, that I like the break to be able to reset my brain, go do what I need to do, walk around a little bit if I need to come back and sit for the rest of the movie. I actually found myself enjoying it. I would not be opposed to going to see another movie with a fifteen minute intermission. I think the other thing that has caused some controversy with this movie, aside from the runtime, which I love, the director defending that he was saying that theaters weren't going to want to run it, But look at him now with all these nominations, so I do credit him for that. But I think some of the controversy has come from the fact that it came out that they use some AI to enhance Adrian Brody and Felicity Jones's Hungarian accent. And I think when people read that headline and hear that, you think that they used it the entire time, and that they use it in a way. That kind of diminishes the art because a lot of acting, especially when you get a Best Actor nomination, is in that performance. Can you do the accent? Can you portray to the audience that you spend enough time understanding this character in order to portray them on the big screen. What they actually used was the AI voice cloning tool, and they didn't use it the entire time. Instead, they used it to tweak words here and there, because they said it was a really difficult accent to do and there were certain words they just wanted to fix. I heard it at first, and I even had that reaction like if you use AI like that kind of takes away from the performance. But it sounds like they just used it to tweak things here and there wasn't the entire time. I actually think you so that is fine. I've used something like that before. I've taken interviews sometimes where you can't hear maybe somebody on zoom. They have a response and a voice gets like that weird zoom robotic sound. You could put it in AI transcribes it. You can fix in one word, you can type it out and it cloones their voice and it says it and you can fix it, So it would be hypocritical of me to say, like, now you can't use that when I have used it before. I get it's different between an interview and art, but I think especially in movies like this, they don't have like a crazy budget like an Avengers movie would. Sometimes you have to use those resources, and you also think about things when it comes to using movie magic. Nobody is saying anything about James Gunn using CGI to make Superman fly like that is cheating. That really doesn't take away from David krn Sweat's performance as Superman. That is just movie magic. That's what movies are, using special effects to make something seem a little bit more real and realistic for us. I ultimately think it comes down to how the audience interprets it. If we start rejecting it in a way that it gets so blatantly overused, they'll have to scale back. But if they're using it to enhance things here and there, to fix little tweaks, much like a photographer would use photoshop, I still think that's art. Somebody takes a photo and maybe there's some power lines in the back they want to take out. They use an AI tool to clear that out. Nobody says that that is less artistic because they used AI to fix it. Right now, in this case, I'm not against it. I don't think it takes away from the fact that Adrian Brody was nominated and will win for Best Actor. But will somebody eventually end up abusing AI and making it seem less authentic. Yeah, that's gonna happen to and I will cross that bridge when we get there. When it comes to what I rate the Brutal List, I give it a strong four out of five buildings. I do think there is something to seeing this movie in theaters. We actually saw it in thirty five millimeter. Something I like looking for when I watch a movie being shown on film is you can tell when they're about to switch the reels. You see a little flicker in the corner. It's like a white circle that comes and goes, and then it goes into the next reel. I assume each reel is about an hour long because I counted about three times that it happened. So there is something to watching it in theaters, especially if you have a theater around you that is showing it in thirty five millimeter. There is an added warmth to it. It adds a little bit of grain to it. I just kind of love that feeling. It's almost like listening to an album on vinyl, where not a whole lot of crazy difference, but it just adds like this level of texture. And if you're somebody who like a music'snob and you're like, nah, you gotta listen to it on vinyl. It's kind of the same thing when it comes to watching something in thirty five millimeter, but not everybody has a theater that shows it that way. But I think the benefit of seeing it in theaters is you are fully engaged the entire time, You're not on your phone, and you're able to give it your full attention. I think if you watch this movie at home once it is available on streaming, I would compare it to me running outside versus me running on the treadmill. When I go run outside, I'll run four miles one way. I can't just stop because I have to go home. I'm already invested in those four miles. I'm gonna come back and run a total of eight. But if I run four miles on the treadmill, you know how easy it is just to hit stop. I'm tired. This is boring. I'm gonna hit stop. I'm in a gym. I kind of feel that way when it comes to watching a long movie. When you go see it in theaters, you're committed. You've paid for it, you were there, You're gonna sit there the entire time. You get an hour into the movie, you're like, you know what, I'll just finish it. At this point, you get an hour into a movie at home, you can just hit stop. You can go watch something else, go back to watching the office. So I think that is the benefit of seeing it in theaters. So again for the brutalist, I give it four out of five. It's time to head down to Movie Mikes. Trailer Paul. The trailer for this new movie called The mon Monkey is nuts, but in a good way. I like movies that are nuts, but in a good way. It's a mix of horror and comedy. It's from the studio Neon, which I've praised a lot. In recent history. They've been crushing it when it comes to horror. I mean, they had immaculate, they had cuckoo, they had long Legs. This is also from the same director of Long Legs, Oz Perkins, who is really starting to crush it right now, but this movie is coming out on February twenty First, it is about two brothers named Bill and how they find their father's old monkey in the attic and then a series of death start. They decide to throw the toy away because that's what you do, right when you find a possessed dog, you throw it away. But what happens, It always comes crawling back. They try to move on with their lives, they grow apart over the years, but then the monkey brings them back. A classic tale. This movie feels like it was ripped from a Twilight Zone episode, and of course it is an adaptation of a Stephen King story. I think over the years, not every Stephen King novel that has been turned into a movie has been great, because again, just because it's a well written story doesn't mean it's an easy plug and play. Either way, the check clears for him, but I think he gets a little bit more excited when you have a director who gets what he was trying to say and really is able to execute the story. I remember when The Simpsons parodied a Twilight Zone episode in a classic story. It was like the Second Treehouse of Horror. Episode back in the nineties. But Homer gets this monkey paw that it grants you the wishes on each of the fingers. But anytime you make a wish, something bad happens, something twisted happens where you get your wish, but it comes with a little taste of misfortune. And I just kind of had that feeling of whenever the Simpsons would pry the Twilight Zone, because that's really how I was exposed to it first, and they have like this classic voice over with a really chilling voice. That is what this movie reminds me of. The plot reminds me of. There is also a Simpson's parenty in tree House of Horror whenever Bart can read people's thoughts and then he'll turn them into things. That is also the vibes I'm getting here. So it's coming out again on February twenty First, before I talk about it more, here's just a little bit of the monkey trailer.

00:47:24
Speaker 3: The coroner said it was an accident, but it was no accident.

00:47:28
Speaker 2: It was a monkey.

00:47:29
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, my twin brother and I found something that loved to kill. I did everything I could to make it go away, but it had other plans. Hello, brothers. The monkey that likes killing our family. It's back. It must be vanquished.

00:47:55
Speaker 1: There are a lot of crazy death in this trailer. It opens up with this woman dying after the monkey shoots a gun. And then you have our main star here, THEO James. He's wearing these big old retro glasses. Blood splatters across his face and then he takes the glasses off and he has like this tan line of blood. That is a great scene. I love horror movies that have that one still image that you could see it and associate it with this movie. That is something I feel that horror movies have kind of gotten away from, like you need that one big shot to sell the movie. That one is fantastic. There's another death in this trailer where you see this woman diving into a pool and right before she dives in, the monkey makes that pool electrified. She dives in and well gets electrocuted. So THEO James, you may know him from the Divergent movies, I never really got into those. I know him more from The White Lotus. By the look at this trailer and me doing some research on this, I believe he is playing both brothers. I don't know if they're ever going to actually meet, because for the most part in the trailer it looks like they just talk over the phone. I didn't see anybody else credited as the other brother, so I believe that he is playing both brothers. Well, you're gonna get from this movie a lot of blood that's very over the top and gory, which is a much different feeling than what Oz Perkins did when he directed Long Legs last year, which that was much more of a slow burned story. It was more sinister. It was a lot of anticipation, showing you little glimpses of Long Legs and then really ramping up towards the end. But throughout that movie there wasn't a whole lot of just blood and guts all over the thing that you would expect in a normal slasher movie. It didn't really has that feeling, even though it was based on a serial killer, just not that same type of horror movie, more of a thriller, more of a psychological horror movie. But here much different tone. It still has that this is gonna be kind of vibes, because anytime you have some kind of possessed doll, you're gonna get that, but it's gonna be a little bit more comical. And I don't think you're gonna have nightmares from watching The Monkey, which I felt very uneasy after watching Long Legs and thinking about, man, there's somebody out there like that. That's freaky. But I don't think unless you're a young kid, very impressionable, that you're gonna leave the Monkey and think, oh, man, is there gonna be a toy possession going down in my house? That something is going to kill me? Which was a big fear of mine when I was a kid. Talked about this a lot, but the first horror movie that ever gave me serious nightmares as a kid was Child's Play. I think when it comes to the scariest dolls in not just movies but TV and pop culture, Chucky is number one. I think Annabelle has kind of creeped up there, mainly from the first Conjuring movies. I don't know that the spinoffs and the prequels of Annabelle have really solidified her as me being scared of her because that first Conjuring movie intense because she just looks freaky Chucky depending on what state you see him in, he doesn't always look freaky, but Annabelle always looks freaky. So Chucky gave me nightmares. Annabelle never really gave me nightmares because I was older. Although the conjuring did freak me out. I did get nightmares from that, but it wasn't because of Annabelle. Number three on my list is Slappy the Ventriloquist on Me from Goosebumps. I could not even look at the book cover of that Goosebumps story and not be freaked out. I remember it was either my older brother or my older sister had a copy of it, and I would throw it in the shoe box because I was so freaked out just by the image of Slappy. But then you have in this movie. It's a monkey who looks more comical. He looks freaky. He has like these bulgy eyes. It doesn't talk, he doesn't really do a whole lot of like at least not in the trailer of like actually grabbing people because he's small. But it's the thing surrounding him and the things he's able to do that makes it scary. So I don't know if he's gonna work his way up into this list, but either way, this trailer did a really good job of just making him look absolutely insane. So I have a lot of hope for this movie. It looks like it's gonna be a movie that's fun and bloody, and I love things that are fun and bloody. So again, the Monkey is coming out on February twenty first. This will be one that'll get a reaction in the theater and somebody's throwing their popcorn in the air.

00:52:27
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of movie Line Tramer.

00:52:31
Speaker 1: Par And that'll do it for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta give my listeners shout out of the week this week, I'm going over to Instagram to Ashley and Kennedy who commented on a recent reel of mind and said, catching up and just finished the podcast from eleven twenty five. Your ending comment to yourself of what kind of accent was that cracked me up? Thanks for not editing that out. Thank you Ashley for a couple of things. One that means you listen to the very end of the episode. I love people who listen to the entire episode that don't get tired of me going on and on about dumb things and make it to the very end, So I appreciate that. And the second thing is thank you for noticing some of the things I've decided to leave in recently. I think before I was really just like, if I mess up even the slightest bit, I have to take it off because I don't want to sound like an idiot. And I think it was really last year where I realized that I just kind of have to have a little bit more of a free flow, let the podcast live and breathe a little bit more like if you were right here in this studio sitting with me, right across from me, that version of me, and not worry about everything being so polished. And I'm not a polished speaker by any means, So I feel like leaving in little things like that is just like, Okay, this is who I really am. I'm going to say things weird. Sometimes, I'm going to say people's names wrong. Sometimes, even though well I make it such a point to research their names. It's not even that I don't research and look up an actor's name before talking about them.

00:54:08
Speaker 2: I do.

00:54:09
Speaker 1: There are other times where something just comes to my mind and I will say it and not think of it that I will think I'm saying the right thing, but something in my brain triggers. Here's an example. One thing I did edit out recently is I was talking about Peter Parker and I straight up said Peter Pan, even though there's no reason for me to say Peter Pan. You obviously know how big of a Spider Man fan that I am that I would never reference Peter Parker as Peter Pan. But when I listened back to the episode, for some reason, I said Peter Pan and Toby Maguire. I'm like, that makes no sense. I have to take that out. So sometimes my brain just like crosses these wires, you know, like back in the day. I don't know if they actually did this, but I would see it in movies where you would call a telephone operator and they would like plug in these wires and cables into these different holes they connect you to a different line or whatever. That is kind how my brain is sometimes, But somebody just got the wrong piece into the wrong hole. So those things I will edit out. Other little things like that that you notice, Ashley, I'm gonna try to leave in more so appreciate that comment. You're this week's listener Shout Out of the Week. Thanks to everybody for listening right now and until next time, go out watch good movies and I will talk to you
