Mike and Kelsey's Top 5 Movies from the 2000s + Movie Review: The Fallout (HBO Max) + Trailer Park: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's Movie Podcast, your go to source for all things movies. I am your host. Movie Mike joined today with my wife Kelsey. How are you great? If you're new to the podcast, you come on from time to time to talk about movies, and I thought this week would be perfect because we're talking about two thousands movies. We've kind of got into two thousand's nostalgic kick lately. So we each have our top five movies from the two thousands. We're going to review a new movie that just came out on HBO Max called The Fallout. We'll do some trailer park later, do some movie news later, listener emails, all that on this episode. Thanks for being subscribed, Thanks for listening to the podcast. You already know what it is. Let's get into it. 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 I M. Dvis Glasses from the Nashville podcast Networking Movie Mic Movie Pod. So today we each have our top five movies from the two thousands. I kind of feel like, right now, for the first time, I'm starting to see people itch for two thousands of nostalgia. Like, for the longest time, it's been all about like nineties and nineties fashion, nineties movies. But I feel now that US millennials are in our thirties. Hey almost, I'm in I'm thirty. You are not thirty yet, But I feel like there's kind of that definition now what the two thousands were. For the longest time, I didn't really understand, like what does that represent? Like what from that decade is kind of what we come to know. So now that we've been watching like these two thousand movies, I kind of get it more like the Razor phones, the fashion, the music. Not bring the fashion back though, Let's leave low rise jeans where they belong. Some of that just needs to stay at the like tank tops over a T shirt with a skirt over the jeans, let's just leave. Let's leave the fashion back in the two thousands. But the movies, yes, movies, yes, it is weird watching movies from the two thousand's and anything that comes like to technology, like the sidekick phones or like sending an email like on a really old platform. Or watching people texting like T nine and watching them click through several buttons. There's just some things that feel so dated. But I think a good two thousands movie you can see past that. I think one of the movies that I don't know if it's going to make your list. But like in the Proposal, they referenced YouTube as being one of the newest things which you will make your list. But anyway, we'll get into our top five lists before we ruined anything else. What do you have at number five? The proposal ironically perfect? And we watched that one recently and I had not seen I've seen it like on cable before we watched it on Earth Butty White yes, which I thought was really fun. Like, I'm surprised I hadn't seen that movie before because it has Sandra Bullock. Ryan Reynolds had no idea Betty White was in it. Yeah, why is that one of your favorites? It's so funny. I love like the cast. Like, let's also talk about how underappreciated Mary Steen Virgin is as like the mom in a comedy, I mean, Elf, step Brothers, the Proposal. I'm probably missing others, but she is impeccable in comedy is so like her character is the mom I love Betty White. Obviously, Betty White is just she was timeless, like as an actress. And you and I were talking about how it's weird that we only know her as like the Golden Girls, like movie era of the early two thousand's, but like she's been an actress. She was an actress forever. Yeah, and it's weird even in that movie. In the movie, she's turning ninety and that's like a big accomplishment, but she, I mean, her almost reaching a hundred. And what I keep saying is and I have to remember, was so sad. I loved. What I loved about that movie was I felt like it really represented two thousands comedies rom coms because of the plot of how kind of crazy and out there it is, but somehow it works. It's all about Sandra Bullock's character, who is Canadian and then finds out that if she, I guess, can't get her citizenship, she has to go back and lose her job. And then that's where Ryan Reynolds comes in fake the whole thing, and then the hilarity ensues so good and just like some of the I will say some of it's kind of like slapstick comedy, which I love. The most iconic and everyone knows is the scene where Betty White and Sandra Bullogerd dancing in the woods. That scene is just I could watch that scene on a loop because it is just hilarious for Betty White to be singing this like incredibly inappropriate raps in the woods. And then there's like the comedy with the Dog and the Bird, and that's also like long before Ryan Reynolds is who we kind of know him as. Now. Yeah, I felt like before then he played different characters. Now I feel like I get the same Ryan Reynolds in every movie. But I liked him in that. I think he's just hilarious like as a person too, and I feel like that movie he kind of got to shine through. So at number five, you got the proposal. Yes, at number five, I also have a comedy. I went with Pineapple Express from two thousand and eight. I've really one of my favorite comedies, and I feel if there had to be one that I kind of pulled from the seth Roguan, the Jonah Hill, Judd Apotel, which really all of them ruled what was two thousands comedies. I feel like this one embodied it the best because it had a great comedic cast. It had Seth Rogan, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and one of the most successful stoner action comedies ever. What a genre they headed down. And I feel like, for the longest time, this is a movie I could just watch at any point and still find funny. But they never made a sequel, which I'm glad they didn't do, and comedies has just never been as funny as they were in the two thousands. I feel like you couldn't. You can't really make those kind of movies anymore. Sometimes, even watching some of the movies back, we watch again. I don't want to spoil anything. They may be on your list, but even some of the jokes, you're like, oh man, how did they get away with that? Or you wouldn't make those same jokes now the one you're thinking of is not on my list, doesn't. Yeah, some of the jokes in that see would seem a little insensitive now, and that was that was two thousand three. But yeah, I love Pineapple Express. Anytime it comes on, I have to watch it. So that's my number five. What do you have a number four? I would also like to make a disclaimer that Bridesmaids is not on my list because if you've listened to any episodes of this podcast where we talking about comedies whatever, you know bridesmaid it's my favorite movie. I didn't want to put that on my list. Again, we all know that. Okay, that's out of the way. I will also give my disclaimer now. I didn't put any superhero movies. I didn't put anything from a franchise, so none of the Harry Potters will make mine. And no animated movies, no Christmas movies. I feel like those are kind of bigger in themselves, at least for my list. But continue on with yours. Number four. We actually just watched this earlier today, the Day after Tomorrow, the Disaster movies. I realized that is an extremely weird want to put on here. But if you know me, you know I love weird like weather movies, Twister, which we've talked about before the Day after Tomorrow, but some of the effects, like looking back or comical seeing it's just like a bunch of c g I and not well done. But if you think about it, like the early two thousand's, we were still getting that stuff right coming out of the nineties, like some of the movies that come out early two thousands. It seems so groundbreaking at the time and looks so amazing, and we were like, look at these special effects. But looking back on him now, you're like, oh, they were still figuring things out. But there's something about disaster movies that we bonded with, like very early on of Twister being one of our favorite movies, the Day After Tomorrow being one of our favorites. I think it's because disaster movies really embody everything about going to the movies of like, oh, watching something big, crazy and ridiculous and you can completely turn off your brain, not really care about the plot, and watching The Day After Tomorrow, like that's exactly what that is. The tornadoes in l A, the hurricanes, the helicopter freezing in mid air, like you just watch it and it's entertaining to watch. You don't have to think about it. And I think that's why I love disaster movies. And I will say that as much as I love disaster movies, I'm so scared of every natural disaster. We had terrified, but a tornado warning what like a couple of months ago. I am not prepared for any of those things I did. I will say I was like we should grab like some important documents, like our wallets, and you're like, okay, put on shoes, grab some things, and I'm just sitting there on the floor of our closet like, okay, hope this doesn't hit us. I do think it's ironic that Twister is one of my favorite movies because growing up I was so terrified or tornadoes, because we did grow up living in a trailer and it was like what are we gonna do? Like we have time to even leave, go somewhere else, so that I would always freak out every time any kind of severe weather threat came around. But yet some for some reason, I just love Twister. Remember one when we were still long distance. One weekend, I came to Nashville and it was a Saturday and I was up watching TV. There's bad weather. You had gone to the gym, and then they started talking about a tornado threat and I was texting you like do you want to come home? I'm scared, and You're like it's fine. Yeah, Now I don't really care as much. I was like okay. I'm like, I'm good, I'm gonna give my my reps in and I was like, all right, well, it's a nice knowing you. Moving gone to my number four from two thousand and nine. I have Inglorious Bastards, which is my favorite Quittin Tarantino movie. It I never seen it. Add that to the list. Uh. And for some reason, World War Two is like my favorite thing to read and learn about. I don't know why, but like in I guess middle school and high school and we learned about it. It just really like struck a chord with me. And I found it so fascinating that Inglorious Bastards rewriting how that ended in what Happened to Hitler? I just found so fascinating. And I remember having one of the most uplifting, oddly or just like charged up moments while watching this movie in theaters, because it gives you this satisfaction of like, man, if this could have really happened in history, that would be amazing. And I love when Quentin Tarantino does that changes events in history to skew them into his mind and make them so cinematically thrilling. That's why this one is my favorite one, and I will say, I know this is a movie podcast, but plugging a book I just read about World War Two. Yeah, if you like world War two type books like history, I would highly recommend reading Beneath the Scarlet Sky. I don't want to give anything away, but it's about World War Two. It's based on a true story. The guy who wrote it as phenomenal. He went and like lived in Europe with the guy who this book was about. Find out more about him, write the details. So it's called Beneath the Scarlet Sky. You should read it. Do you think that book could be turned into a movie. I think it actually is. Yeah. I think it's being turned in pre pandemic, so I think it's on pause, but it was being turned into a mini series with Tom Holland. There you go. You bring it all back to movies, bring it all back to things nerdy. We support all that on this podcast. I read it in two days, like I wouldn't put it down. Yeah, for those listening, Kelsey is a super fast reader and reads unlike any other human I've ever met. Like some people's goal in life is to read or like this year is like to read a book a month. You read a book and like, what a couple of days you average what five six books a month? Yeah, I'm about a book a week, if not more. Yeah, insane. A couple of weeks ago, I think I read three in one week. But also now that I'm not in grad school anymore, I finished work at five, and I'm like, cool, I'll read all evening, so I have plenty of time. Kelsey's book podcast. All right, let's get into our number three movies. What do you have at number three? Okay? I was torn between making this number three or number two, but number three, we're gonna go a Cinderella Story. Why is that one your favorite? It is the like embodiment of early two thousand's, like teenage rom com. It's got Hillary Duff, It's got Chad Michael Murray, who were all at the peak of their like coming of age. Like, yeah, this movie the peak two thousand and four. Jennifer Coolidge, Regina King and some of the most iconic cheesy lines like the TikTok sound that went viral to laugh out Loud that's her like texting l O L and she's like laugh out loud or don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game, or my personal favorite, waiting for You was like waiting for Rain in the strout, useless and disappointing, so powerful while we were dating. I yeah, I felt like this movie really also embodied the two thousand's from Hillary Dove, coming off of Lesie McGuire Chad Michael Murray being like the heartthrob of the two thousand's. This movie just was never appealing to me, and I watched it because you told me to watch it. We watched it last weekend. Yeah, we've been hardcore into the two thousands. I thought it was fun, and I think that's a lot of what two thousands movies were, but overall just being something that you remember while we were young. Like that's why all these things are kind of coming back now, is these were so shaping of our taste at the time and reminding us of like a really good time in our lives when we watch these movies. The soundtrack was also great too, Yeah, it was really good. There was a Jimmy Eat World song in there that I was like, Oh, Jimmy World. So I think that's why I like watching these old movies back now too, because I feel like even that type of music is kind of coming back around and having its moment again. But at number three, I'm going with the first movie that ever made me feel and it is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from two thousand and four. I've never seen going over three in all my movies? Have I failed you as a husband of not letting you watch some of my favorite movies? Now you're just too busy making me watch other movies that I don't want to watch new movies. Yeah we hardly go back, and yeah we hardly go back and watch older movies together. But why this movie was my favorite? I was probably too young to understand what this movie like meant on like a bit your level, and what a relationship like this meant. But I was like at a point in my life to where girls showed no interest in me, and you know, I would see other kids like dating and finding relationships and I felt like alone and like a nerd. But for some reason, like the feeling in this movie felt by Jim Carey was a much older dude and a much more serious relationship resonated with me. And there are several quotes in this movie that have always just stuck with me, and not only that feeling from this movie, but also the cinematography in the movie, how kind of advanced it was for that time, and just the story itself of it's all about if you had such a bad relationship, had such a bad X, would you go through this process of erasing them from your memory? A great It's just a great plot and a movie I just really love and encourage anybody who hasn't seen it to go and watch it. We should watch this one. Can I erase the memory of like people who I had a crush high school? Is it that bad that you don't want to remember it? It's pretty bad, Okay that we I have. Yeah, we were both each other's first real relationships, so we have no excess to erase. But I could. I could stand to a race of people. I have some like flirtations that I could erase. Okay, there's one in particular that I we'll get to that, all right. What do you have as your number two movie? Step Up? Now? That is one I have I seen Step Up? I don't feel like I have on DVD. Let's go watch it. Okay, that's the most two thousands things you've ever said why is this one your favorite? First of all, it's Channing Tatum. You like Channing Tatum. I did in two thousand six? What about now Magic? Microuined it a little white too much? Channing Tatum. Yeah, that was peak Channing Tatum, peak Channing Tatum. I like him in twenty one Jump Street. Other than that, he has to be a part of a pretty interesting project for me to be interested in something, I mean, stop up. The dancing was also just really great. I really wanted to after that. I felt like that was also a big thing at the two thousands Dance Movies Dance competition. So you think you can dance? We had a big fascination with dance in the two thousand's. The soundtrack to Step Up is amazing. It's still some of the songs are still on my running playlist. What did this movie inspire you to do? When it comes to dance? Are you about to make me tell my embarrassing What did this movie do to you that inspired you in your own personal life? When to that embarrassing story? What did this movie do to you? Okay, but this was years later. So I danced when I was younger, I took dance classes. I loved it, got out of it for years, and then when I was in high school, I was like, I need like a hobby. I don't play sports. I ran like a couple of miles a day. But I was like, I want to do something again. So I signed up for dance and they were like, you should start with like ballet, and ballet was never my strong suit. But I was like, okay. They put me in a class, yeah, people who were like four years younger than me, and I was terrible and the teacher made me cry one week and I quit. You quit dance class? Why did you make me? Tell this? Just the show people that you can fail at something and come back stronger. Yeah it was. It wasn't great. I got my deposit back, though, and that's all that matters. At number two, I'm in between two movies that I feel embodied the same reason that I loved them from the two thousands. I'm in between Juno from two thousand and seven in Napoleon Dynamite from two thousand and four, and why It's because I feel like both of those movies were some of the most quotable movies of the two thousand's, and I feel like that was a big thing of going to watch a movie in that decade. You go watch a movie, you bring back the phrases, you start saying them, and then other people start seeing them and everybody has seen that movie collectively. And we don't really have that anymore. But do you know you can sit down and rewatch and actually enjoy it. Napoleon Dynamite. You sit down and it's like kind of painful to rewatch. But it was so unique at the time, and you have these characters that were so like what is this? Was this made? Now? Was this made twenty years ago? Like? What is the vibe here? But it was so unique That's why it cut through so much. And it was such a low budget movie, wasn't expected to be as I don't want to use the word groundbreaking, but as kind of like a pop culture phenomenon that it was at that time. And I feel like with the T shirts that came out after Napoleon Dynamite, with all like the success of it later they did a cartoon, there was just so much that came from that and it was all because of the quotes that came from that movie. I feel like Napoleon Dynamite probably had that more than Juno. But I feel like after watching both of those movies, I had the same kind of reaction, and I would lean a little bit more towards you know, because, like you said that, it's a little bit more rewatchable. I also love the soundtrack in that movie. Me get felt very like I was watching Juno and paired with that soundtrack, it kind of reminds me more of that time in my life. You're a part time love friend, full time friend. The monkey on your back is the latest trend. I don't see what anyone can see anyone else. Two thousand and seven is also my favorite year of movies ever, so I would probably lean towards you know, But they're kind of right there, right at my number two slot for that same reason, we're gonna need you to rein it in and pick one for number two. Okay, you just walked through your entire thought process. Let's bring it back. After all that, I'm gonna go with Juno. Great choice, all right, Let's get to our number one. What do you have at number one? She's the man also Channing Tatum, Manda Bindes another movie that you made me or inspired me to watch. So why has that been your favorite movie for so long, I think again because it's quotable and I just my friends and I would always watch that and we quote it. It It just I think it all goes back to to memories of people that you watch movies with, and like it's just like a good like sleepover movie. That's a thing of being younger too and watching movies. You would watch them all together, pop in the DVD, get your popcorn, and hang out. That one, for me, I associate more like mean girls with that type of era of like people gathering to watch a movie like that. Also could have made a list, but she's the man at number one. I would have From two thousand and seven, like I was saying, my favorite year of movies, No Country for Old Men, I think this is the movie that made me love movies, and I think it was that year specifically when all these movies came out. No Country for Old Men kind of changed the way I thought about movies. And from start to finish, it's just so every scene is so important, every line of dialogue is so important. Everything from the wardrobe to the set look like everything about that movie is like what I look for in a movie. I've probably rewatched that more out of every movie on my list, I would just watch spatched it again. And it was a movie I picked up watching in the middle of it, watched the end, and then started back and watching the beginning. I will say, though, I've never seen it, but you turned it on and I had already taken my glasses off, and I should mention I can't really see like anything within my glasses, but I could see the like blur of Jabier Bardem's like Bob and I like falling asleep, and I'm like, did you just turn on No Country for Old Men? Just by the hair just by the haircut. Yeah. That he is great in that, and just his overall demeanor in the movie of how just kind of cold. And although his character is like lifeless, it's so sinister the way he kills people in that movie. Like the violence in that movie is just so unique. It's done in a way that I've never seen done before. And that's why it's my favorite movie from the two thousand's. Okay. Also, if you watch that before bed, no wonder you had weird. I did have really weird trees this weekend. Uh. Some honorable mentions I have our School of Rock. I am legend, Simpsons movie, The Simpsons movie also from two thousand and seven, Wedding Crashers, super Troopers, Up in the Air, Aaron Brockovich so good, Mean Girls. Of course, Shrek, which I almost just associate that movie with the two thousands, with All Star and just all the memes now that are everywhere, all comes from Shrek. Walk the Line. Probably my favorite music biopic, Old School. Again, like all those two thousands comedies, Talladega Nights, super Bad Accepted, how High role Models another great decade for like Will Ferrell. Your honorable mention is every movie that Will Ferrell was in, Yes, just Will Ferrell in general, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughan, and then of course all the people I mentioned earlier, like Jonah Hill, Seth Row like that. That's just the two thousands to me, And I didn't want to include like Harry Potter, Lord of the like all those movies, like the franchise movies. I feel like those speak for themselves, they speak for themselves, They're a bigger part of movie history. But I just wanted to take a moment and look at the landscape of just regular movies from the two thousands, that made that decade great. Any final words before we get into our movie review. Our lists were very different, very different, and yours were a lot of well, how would you describe those movies? Teen teeny bopper movies? Mine were like Oscar movies and comedy movies, more trouble. We'll go at that. So I get to give my honorable man. Yeah, what do you want? Well, you said me and girls Cheaper by the Dozen, which we also just watched some weeks ago. I don't know why. I woke up and it's like, let's watch Cheaper by the Dozen. Funny, it's a great movie, great Saturday movie, great cast. That was like. That was also the peak up when Tom Welling from Uh Small Bills the peak of his hotness. And to see Steve Martin in that movie and we just watched him and only Murders. Great show. Yeah, he's funny. Any other ones dresses good one feels very two thousands as well, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, The Wedding Planner, All the rom coms comes, just everyone, just every single rom coms Home Alabama, Yes, everything with Reese feather Spoon in it. So that's your actress blonde blonde that people were screaming though we didn't say legally by sorry everyone. Yes, I love Reese Spon. If we haven't run into her in town here, I'll probably fan girl. All right, let's go look for all right. Coming up next, we're gonna do a movie review of a new movie on HBO Max called The Fallout. We'll do that after this. I'm gonna get into a spoiler free movie review now, talking about a brand new movie on HBO Max called The Fallout, which is all about this group of teenagers dealing with the aftermath of a school shooting. So if you haven't heard about this movie, we'll tell you all about it whether you should check it out or not. But first, here's just a little bit of the trailer. You don't even need to wear makeup. Sorry but I just said you don't even need to wear makeup? What was that? Did you know anyone who died? So basically what this movie is about what I was saying earlier at the very start of the movie. It gets right into it. There's a school shooting. A couple of teenagers are able to hide out in a bathroom together. They meet another teenager who comes in during the shooting, and they all kind of formed this bond of going through this traumatic experience together. But what I loved about it is that it didn't glorify in any way to school shooting and also didn't focus a whole lot on like the brutal details of it. It just happens there in the bathroom. You really just hear the gunshots. But that's powerful in itself. Yeah, I was gonna say it's a very it's a very heavy movie, so very into knowing that. I mean obviously the subject matter, but it's the way it's done to it's very like poignant and really well done. I would say, even like the cinematography of it, Like I even noticed the cinematograping, and that's not thing I normally pick up on. And that they didn't focus a whole lot on like anything about the shooters story or the motivation or anything like that. It's all dealing with the characters and how this changes their life, how it affects them emotionally, how it affects their relationship with school, wanting to go back to school, home life, And that's really what this focus is on. And I haven't really seen anybody tackle it like this before, with no other kind of external factors of like politics or anything like that. It's just focused on how a teenager who experienced this would go on to live their life and how hard that is. And I was gonna say, there's also several different perspectives of how they deal with it, and some that are I don't want to give anything away, but able to not compartmentalized but try to go on with the normalcy, and then others that kind of just live haunted and paralyzed by it. And I thought that was such a good juxtaposition because that's probably truth for a lot of teenagers after something traumatic like that. I really like to lead actress in this Jenna Ortega, who I just saw and scream and it was interesting to see how good of an actor she is, because going from a singer in a slasher movie where I thought the acting was a little bit more soap opera esque, seeing her in this and her range and how she's able to like easily fall into this role, I thought she was really great. I feel like she's an emerging new talent in Hollywood right now, and this is kind of like at the forefront of like a really groundbreaking role. That's you know, you can watch on HBO Max right now. So I thought she was really good in this and overall, like again, just how they dealt and made it feel so real and authentic. I feel like this is a movie that could have easily gotten a little bit like cheesy, almost after school special type, but they're able to stay grounded in reality and keep everything very real, very authentic. It just has a really good effect and it says exactly what it set out to say. I thought it was done. Oh well, and you're more familiar with this director, right, yeah, Megan Park she was actually in the Secret Life of the American Teenager, which is where I know her from, but she wrote it as well. Yeah, that's amazing. She did a really great job. It's so good And I also think it's an important movie for people to watch just too. I mean, because we hear about these things so often, which is sad, but I guess like when I hear about it, you almost don't think about the kids and how they have to go on going to school, how much that changes of just like wanting to go back to school and live a normal life, and how I guess we kind of look at it as like the news cycle, something else crazy happens in the world, something else unfortunate happens in the world. We move on as a society and forgetting about those people still dealing with that, which I thought was a pretty big takeaway from this movie. So I really enjoyed it. I feel like it's just kind of a slice of life type movie focusing on a very powerful subject there's it's really pretty straightforward. I don't think you go into this expecting some crazy overall like roller coaster of a ride. It's just very grounded in reality, very matter of the fact, just trying to make a statement and point this out. So I think it's a good one to watch. If you have HBO Max, What would you write this movie? I was gonna say, I almost don't even know if I can write. It's hard to say. I don't even think. I don't even think it's a movie you can really write. I was thinking that too. Of Like, while I really enjoyed it, I thought the acting was really good. I thought just the overall subject matter was very powerful. I feel like rating it is almost like, well, what are you breaking down here? I just think if that interests you, and that's something you want to kind of understand a little bit better and learn more about how this can affect somebody. It's worth a watch. I'll just say that like it's it's worth a watch. Yeah. I thought that was a really well done movie. And now it's time for the part of the podcast where I break down a movie trailer coming to you very soon in theaters or on streaming, in a segment called It's time to head down the movie Mike, And today we're gonna take a listen to the new teaser trailer for Gammo del Toro's Pinocchio and is coming to us later this year in December. And here's just a little bit of the teaser. I want to tell you a story. It's a story you may think you know, but you don't, not really. You see, I Sebastian Jay Cricket was there. As a matter of fact, I lived, actually lived in the heart of the Wooden Boy. So this is the story of Pinocchio that we've never heard or seen before in a movie. And the reason I'm excited about this movie is that Germo del Toro has been working on this since two thousand and eight. Is basically very big project of his he's loved this movie like his entire life, and just by watching this quick little teaser trailer had me excited about it because of the animation. It's this kind of stop motion that I've never seen done so beautifully. He didn't want to get this movie made until he had the budget for it, and now that Netflix kind of jumped on board, it's finally coming out, and it looks like it's dealing with a darker storyline of Pinocchio that's been told before, but not in this way. It's basically taking the classic story of Pinocchio, who we all know is trying to be a real boy, but in this story, I think his father is not that great of a dude. And and now through this trailer we kind of see maybe there's some elements of Jiminy Cricket living inside of him, since he's an insect and living inside this wooden boy. I just love movies that come through fruition of it being a passion project and being something that a director has been wanting to make his entire life. And when you take a class story like Pinocchio, which hasn't been updated in a very long time, I think that opens up for a very cool telling of a movie and that's coming to us in December on Netflix. So that is what I wanted to share with you this week on this links Attention of movie, and that's gonna do it for this week's episode. But before I hop out of here, every single week, I gotta do a listener shout out. How do you get a listener shout out? You may ask. All you have to do is send a tweet at Mike Destro, send me a d M on Instagram or over on the Facebook page, or you can hit me in the most old school of ways on email. And this listener shout out actually comes to us from that email address, Movie Mike d at gmail dot com, and it is a question from Karina. She says, hello, movie Mike, can you please tell us the order of Phase four of the m c U. I do not understand the order of that phase. Love the podcast, signed Karina. So basically we are already in phase four of Marvel. It started with Black Widow that came out last year and went on to Shanchi the Eternal Spider Man, and where it kind of picks up this year is with Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Later this year, we'll get four Love and Thunder, followed by Black Panther Will Conda Forever, and that's basically Phase four in two. If nothing else gets delayed or nothing else changes, that's what we have to expect in this year. Further down the line, we have the Marvels in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three three, and then ant Man in the Wasp Quantum Mania also coming out. And the final one in Phase four should be the Fantastic Four, which isn't confirmed yet, and that's probably the one I'm the least excited about, unless all these other movies coming before it tie them in somewhere. I'm not really that hype for a Fantastic four movie. Is this going to be the third remake? The third remake? It's kind of pulling the Spider Man. Yeah, But Fantastic four has just never really been that memorable. Like I've never watched the Fantastic for and been inspired by I've been wanting to see more. I liked the thing, and that's about it. Other than that, they're just I don't know, there's just nothing really gripping about the Fantastic Four that would get me excited about it. But I also said that before watching No Way Home, and now I'm a little bit excited for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. That kind of is a great lead into that movie, and without that one, I probably wouldn't have been excited about that. So we'll see what happens. Any of those sounds exciting to you, Doctor Strange for Black Panther, Yeah, so this year. And then also you have all the marvel of TV shows, which would be a lot to get into and how they're all kind of intertwining. That's also a part of Phase four. But I will just focus on the movies. But thanks Karina for that question. If you have a movie question, you can email me that as well, and I'll give you a shout out and answer your question. Kelsey, thank you for hanging out with me on this week's episode. Oh yeah, you're welcoming, especially since you made me tell my embarrassing story about what I will think of my revenge. Okay, any other final thoughts for this week's episode. I don't think if there were any other good two thousands movies, I know I've missed. Some somebody's gonna be like, what about this? Yeah, we'll get those always get those. I think the complaint I get the most is probably not mentioning a movie when I do list like this, which I'm used to mainly because I make a big list and sometimes I just don't like that movie. We can't like the same movies, but it's okay. I did think of one honorable mention, John Tucker must I. There you go, and I believe you with that. And if you want to follow me on TikTok, I've started a new series over there of why movie scenes are great. I've rigged up a new camera, so I'm gonna try to do at least a video a week. Spends a lot of time away from me making TikTok, so please watch them. So please go follow me at Mike Destro on TikTok and until next week, I will talk to you later. Go out and watch good movies.
