Greatest One Hit Wonder Actors + When Will Movies Go Back to Normal? + The Platform Review (Netflix

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. I am movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike de Stro and on this episode, I am talking about the greatest one hit wonder actors of all time. Maybe you've heard of one hit wonder musicians who have had one major hit and never been able to reach that success again. Well, I am doing that same thing but with actors. Actors who had one big role and that's pretty much all you know them for. I did some polling on Instagram and Twitter and got what you guys thought were your favorite one hit Wonder actors, and I've also come up with my own list, so I'll talk about all that. I am also reviewing my number nine movie of all time, which actually factors into the one hit Wonder actor list, so that'll all tie in and make sense in this episode. I'm also kind of catching up and my thoughts on the state of the movie industry right now with pretty much the entire summer blockbuster season being postponed, so we'll get into that. And I watched a new movie on Netflix called The Platform, which I thought had a pretty interesting concept and I wanted to see if it lived up to that hype. Of it. It's about a vertical prison which these prisoners live on one cell and they're pretty much get this food brought down to them on a platform. It's this whole crazy thing, a very dark movie to watch right now, so I kind of had to put myself into a state of mind get in and watch this movie. But I have that review on this episode, and and I really want to say shout out to all you guys for listening and downloading this podcast every single week. I've really seen the numbers go up over the last month, and that's all because of you guys recommending it to people and leaving that five star rating and review on Apple podcast. That means a lot to me. If you're not subscribed by now, all you have to do is hit follow subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and you get brand new episodes of this show every single Monday. If you know someone who likes movies, just be like, hey, you know a movie Mike from the Bobby Bones Show. He does a podcast where yes, he actually talks more than ten seconds at a time. And with all that out of the way, got a great episode for you guys. Thanks for hanging out. Let's get started in a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. One man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking r MTV with classes from the Nashville Podcast Network. Is Movie Mi Movie Podcast. Alright, alright, alright, today we're talking about one hit Wonder actor. So this all came about because I've been working on my list of my top ten movies of all time, and I'm reviewing those on the podcast. I got to number nine and I was doing some research on the movie and I realized the main actor in this movie never acted in anything after this, and I just thought that was a crazy thing for somebody to be in such a big movie and then not really want to do acting after that. And it just got me on this whole list of like, what are other one hit wonder actors out there? So I put the question out on Twitter and Instagram, asked you guys what you're fair one hit wonder actors were? And I also came up with my own list of people I thought of over the years who let me explain what a one hit wonder actor is. First of all, it's somebody who had a major successful role a big movie and then it was never able to get that success back. So it's not that they were only in one movie and went away. They were just never able to achieve that same kind of success. And now maybe they do some TV stuff, maybe they're around a little bit, but as far as an actor, they had one big role. That's the one you know them for. And they're a one hit wonder actor. So some of these yes, they've been in other things, but nothing was as big as the role you know them for. Pretty much, if you say their name, you associate them with this role, this character, and nothing else. So that is what we were talking about, a one hit wonder actor. I know you guys will hit me be like, well, they were also in this movie. In No, No, No, they had one major role, one thing they're known for. That's a one hit wonder actor. So right into it, let's get into my number five that I have on here. Ralph Mocio, the Karate Kid. That's pretty much all you know Ralph Mocio for. He kind of reprised the role. They came out with a YouTube series of Cobra Kai. But outside of the Karate Kid. In the sequels to that, you never really saw him in anything else. Now before Karate Kid came out, he did start in the movie with the Outsiders, which I thought it was a decent enough movie, but really not want a whole lot of people have seen. Which is also crazy because there are so many stars in that movie. Tom Cruise is in that movie, Patrick Swayze, Rob Below, Matt Dillon is in that movie, Amelia estebez Um. You have those so many actors in that movie. Yet it's not really a big hit or anything really people talk about. So I would still say Ralph Maco is a one hit wonder actor. You think Karate Kid, and that's about it. I tried not to put it just a bunch of child actors in this because it's kind of easier to put somebody who had success as a kid and never really reached that Again, I think that the whole different concept. But I just feel like that was such a big role for him and you just have to credit him as a one hit wonder actor. But also, unlike other childhood actors, he never had any kind of drug problems. He never had any problems with the law, which we'll get into this list later some other people did, so shout out to Ralph Macho for not having a criminal past at number four. Would not be a list without Mark Hamill, who was only really known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. Now he's done some voice over work in the animated Batman as the Joker. He's also the voice of Chucky and the New Child's Play movies, which isn't actually a decent reboot, but really one that's a little bit overlooked right now. And I just think that it's crazy how big of a franchise and how big of a movie Star Wars is that that doesn't really translate to him being in anything else. Now. I could just say that he's not that great an actor. You could almost argue that a bunch of people in Star Wars aren't that great of actors, and maybe the movies are bigger than the actors themselves. So I think just that the fact that Star Wars is so big in the character Luke Skywalker is just such a household name, it's really hard to see him in any other kind of role. I think he even kind of went away for a little bit, just kind of did some stuff on the side, and then he kind of came back as his biggest role of Luke Skywalker. The benefit for him though, is that there are multiple Star Wars movies that he's pretty set for life. Like I think he's good on the money end, so unlike maybe some other people, he doesn't really have to kind of claw for other roles or try other things. He can do the new movies and still be all right. And also the fact that he's freaking Luke Skywalker he can go do like conventions and meg Banks. So I think in this case being a one hit wonder actor for him, if you're good to be the best one hit wonder actor, at least have to be one of the biggest roles of all time. At number three, going back to the Childhood Actors, I had to put Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, kind of a sad part about this. I don't know if it's sad for him. He's a millionaire, so what does he care. But the fact that Daniel Radcliffe and m The Watson have kind of eclips there Harry Potter roles, He's really the one who hasn't done anything else, Like, he has very few other movie credits to his name. I think maybe the most recent thing I saw him in was the Lego House at Shearing Music video, and he is the one actor from that who never really branched out to doing anything else. You really only see him as Ron Weasley. I think on the other end of that, Daniel Radcliffe has kind of really taken away us just seeing him as Harry Potter by taking on different kind of roles in movies you wouldn't really expect to see him in. At the beginning, it was like, Oh, it's Harry Potter doing a scary movie over Harry Potter doing an obscure indie movie. But I think over the years, as we get further and further away from it, I think he was able to kind of be like, oh, now it's just Daniel Radcliffe. You don't see him as Harry Potter anymore. But even more so than Daniel Radcliffe as not being a one hit wonder actor, Emma Watson has really just I don't even see her as her mind anymore. I see her as just Emma Watson and just being a really great actress and little women and now one of my Favorite movies, Perks of Being a Wallflower, which just got added to Netflix, like She's really a clipse, both of them as just being oh, you're the kid from Harry Potter, which is probably one of the hardest things to do. What I wonder about Rupert Grin though, is if you look at his net worth and how much he still makes off the Harry Potter movies, He's still worth fifty million dollars. So I wonder, if you get to that level of fame, you get to that level of success, do you really care at that point, Like I feel like you would. I feel if you're an actor, it's in your blood, it's in your DNA, and you want to do more movies. But also with the child actor thing put into place, I wonder if you get so burnt out on acting and you get so tired of being so famous that once you're kind of set for life, you're good, you don't want that feeling back again. You don't want to go back into being on a set all the time, and you're kind of like, Okay, that was cool when I was a kid, but now when as an adult, I don't want that anymore. So I think we kind of see some of these people like, oh, they never achieved success again, what if they you know, that's all they wanted to do, like they wanted to they at the at the time, maybe they didn't have a choice as like what they wanted to be, Like their parents could have forced them into being a child actor and being super successful, and now that an adult, they're like, you know what, that really wasn't me. I just want to hang out and enjoy my millions. If I was up Grant, I would do the same thing. I think for him, though, it's probably hard just to go down the street and you just get tired of people yelling your character nable Ron Weasley like that would get annoying to me, So I feel for him. On that number two on my list, I was actually able to put two into one because I think both of these actors come from the same movie, and you could argue that even some other people from this movie are also one Hit Wonder actors. A really great movie one from my childhood, It's The sand Lot, and both Tim Guyry who played Smalls, and Michael Vatar who played Benny the Jet Rodriguez. I would say they were both pretty big one hit Wonder actors and both kind of kids who were just discovered at a really young age, like they were like pretty fresh to acting. Tom Guyriy was twelve years old and this was basically his sixth audition ever. Like some guys saw him at a play and I was like, hey, you should audition for this movie. Same thing with Michael Batar, who played Betty the Jet Rodriguez. He started acting when he was twelve and somebody spotted him in a line for a ride at a school carnival and got him to audition for this movie. And both of them pretty much retired from acting. And I think this is one of those cases of them being so young that you're twelve years old, you don't know what you want to do for the rest of your life. And think about when you were twelve years old what you wanted to be and what you were doing then. Are you doing it now? Probably not so. At the time they were trying out acting and doing plays, they landed one of the biggest roles of sports movie history of like movies from our childhood. Ever, and you're never really gonna get that back again unless you really go into pursuing acting. And I think that's just such a big cult classic that we associate them with that it really has all the makings of generating a bunch of one hit wonder actors, which you could argue other people from the movie are too, like Squints and Ham even though they've kind of been in some other things. I just think they were the main actors in this, So that's why I put them on my list. And I think in this when you get where some child actors have had some issues over the years with a law enforcement and getting arrested, which again, when you're such a young kid, you don't really know what your life is gonna be like later, so you have people kind of watching you through route and if you do anything bad there, it's gonna make headlines like, oh, the kid from sand Light got arrested. So so Tom Guyriy got arrested in Houston, Texas for head bunding an officer after he was told he was too drunk to board a flight, and that was just one month after the twentieth anniversary of the sand Law. And same thing with Michael batar with. A crazy thing about him though, is that he ended up retiring from acting in seven and he ended up becoming a firefighter, which was the kind of story put out there for a long time, like, oh, Benny the gent is now a firefighter in California. And then later in life he was charged with fellow and the assault with a deadly weapon in December and eventually got out of it and avoid it's been in time in jail. But again, you do anything wrong because an adult, and it's gonna get kind of put out there, Like I see the stuff coming out on TMZ all the time, like, oh, remember this Chandeled actor, They just got a recipe to U. I Again, they didn't sign up for this when they were kids, and now they just had people kind of watching them throughout their lives. So I think The sand Line is one of the greatest sports movies of all time. Maybe it's more of a guy thing, but even more so than it being about baseball, I think it's a movie about friends, which is why it's kind of still the test over time. And that's why I put both of these guys at number two, all right, And before I get into my number one, I get to get some honorable mention someone wonder actors that didn't quite make the list. You got chunk from the Goonies solely for the Truffle Shuffle alone. Gotta put them up there. You also got Linda Blair, who played the kid on The Exorcist. Rachel Lee Cook was very close to making number five. She wasn't She's all that, and she was also in Josie and the pussy Cats which came out right after it, which was considered at the time of flop. But in my heart, I felt like that was still a solid movie, so I couldn't quite put her as a one hit wonder actress on this I guess. I got Patrick Fuget, who was the kid and almost famous, but he was also in a movie Spun, which I really like, so I also couldn't put him on this list. Jennifer Gray and Dirty Dancing, but she was also in Fiers Bueller's Day Off, maybe didn't have as big of a role, but still felt like she wasn't quite a one hit wonder actress. Shannon Elizabeth from American Pie, which is pretty much all I know her from, But again I don't think she was really the star of that movie, despite what some of you guys might say out there, but still didn't feel like that was super strong to make the list. Also a really close to was Alex Winter from Bill and Ted, who played Bill. There are making a Bill and Ted too, which will come out eventually, so he could have another hit on his hands right now. I still think he's a pretty good one to make the list though. And then another one that I couldn't put in the list. I didn't feel comfortable putting him on the list that a lot of people sent in was McCauley Culkin. I felt like McCauley culkin has been in a bunch of other movies that maybe they weren't as big hits, but I still feel he has more movies to his name that you could think of just one from Yes we Know Him, from Home Alone and being Kevin McAlister. But he was also in My Girl, the page Master Richie Rich which maybe collectively counts one hit. And then he was also in a movie in two thousand four with Mandy Moore and Jenna Malone called Saved, which I thought was a pretty good movie. So I don't really think mccoley Colkett is a one hit wonder actor, so couldn't put him on the list. And at number one, my favorite one hit wonder actor of all time, which also doubles into my number nine favorite movie of all time. It's Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, played by Peter Ostrom. So the crazy thing about Peter Ostrom is this movie came out back in nineteen seventy one, and after he did this movie, he realized he didn't want to do acting anymore. So, straight up, if you look him up on IMDb, there is only one acting credit and it is Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory as Charlie. He was in some other things as himself, but he never started anything after this. So I just thought that was crazy that he only has one acting credit to its name, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Like, he straight up just stopped doing acting. He never had a crazy history of drugs and alcohol, never gotten any trouble after that, straight up just loved cows and horses more and decided to go and be a veterinarian. And not only that, but after Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was such a big hit, like he was offered a three movie deal and he turned it down. I just think that made him like a lot cooler in my head, and the fact that he was just like, you know what, I'm out, I'm gonna quit. Well, I'm a head. I'm not gonna do anything else crazy. That is it for me. That'd be a really hard thing to walk away from as a kid, getting all this attention to being in such a big movie and then just being like, you know what, it's not for me. And also just Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to me has really stood the test of time, and that's why I put it at number nine on my favorite movies of all time. I've said before I'm not really big into musicals, but as a kid, I remember watching this movie and being attached to the story more than the singing in it. And even though it is just straight up they go into singing at all times. Those songs are I feel are timeless. And I'll get into now why this is my number nine movie of all time. And I was a kid. I remember watching this movie and never seeing anything like it before, because it's supposed to be like a family kid movie, but I think it's a family kids movie. This Disguise is a dark comedy because it's almost so sinister in a way that it's comedic in a way that you don't expect a kid's movie to be, and it's even scary at times, like when they're going through the tunnel and everything gets crazy and twisted. There's a lot of thought into the writing in this movie and how the story is presented, and how all the themes that are out it of just the kids being jerks for different reasons and then getting taken away throughout the movie, and then how it ends up being that Charlie Bucket is almost the chosen one, but even he kind of gets stripped from it at the very end, and even he gets yelled that by Willy Wonka. So I know, I'm not that big into musicals. And there's even one song that I still skip every time I watched the movie, whenever he's walking all sad and his mom sings the cheerup Charlie song. I agree, there's a great John mulaney bit. You know, everybody fast forwarded that part of the movie because I did. As a kid, I didn't like that song. Everything else in it I could still watch as an adult, and I feel like, even though it came out in the seventies, it still holds up as a great movie. If I had kids, I would show him We really Walk in to Chocolate Factory. And maybe that's why I hated the remake so much with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton directing it, because they took everything that made this movie great and made it bad, starting with the Umba Loompas's first the first time I saw that they essentially took one character and duplicated him and made all the Uba Lompas be the same, I was out. I think what makes this movie great as the Uba Loompa's and the fact that they're so weird and kind of mysterious and almost scary in a way, Like I remember watching this movie and being D'm scared of Oompa Loompa is of like them somehow taking me away because I was a jerk as a kid like that stood out to me too. And also, let's not overlook Gene Wilder's performance in this because it was really like he is Willy Wonka and he's been a lot of other movies that I love, Like I love all the movies he did with with Drew Pryor, and he's just such a great comedic actor and dramatic actor, and I think that kind of comes out so much in this movie because, like I said, it is a kid's movie where he has to be comedic, but he plays Willy Wonka so dark and twisted, and you almost feel like the pain that he has of being this lonely guy rinning a chocolate factory and looking for someone to take it on after he passes away, and it's almost like, I don't see anyone else who could have done that role like Gean Wilder did. So if you haven't seen the original Willy Wonka, I highly recommend it. You can rent it on Amazon for like four bucks. I think it's a classic movie, and if you have seen it before, one recommend going back and watching. I think it's one that every time it comes on TV or it is on randomly, it's one I'll stop it watching at any point. So also my number nine movie of all time and my favorite one hit wonder actor of all time. That'll do it for this segment. All Right, If you're like me, you're probably wondering when our movies gonna go back to the way they were, because for me, it wasn't every week thing that I would go to the movie theater and watch a brand new movie had come on here and give my review. It was just how I lived my life. And now it's been a man almost two months now that I haven't been to a movie theater, probably a month that they've been shut down. And I know early on last week that the owner of AMC was like, oh, movie theaters will be back up and running by June, and I thought that was crazy, that that seemed far away. And now that the news has come out this week of pretty much every summer blockbuster movie being pushed out, like the summer blockbuster season is gone, which is crazy to think because that usually kicks off in May and it goes through August and then we have all these movies to look forward to. Pretty Much everything on my most anticipated movie lists from the very beginning of the year has just been pushed back, and I kind of wonder when it's going to go back to being normal. And for a bit there, they tried, all, right, let's have these movies that were about to come out and have them straight available into your homes, and people thought that was going to be the solution. But I don't really think that's gonna happen long term, Like I've said before, people want to go to the movies and experience it, and also a movie theater spent a movie companies spend a lot of money into these movies, and they invest so much that they're not making as much doing that. And I haven't even given into really renting a movie at home, Like I was always just about to run rent The Hunt and it was twenty bucks, and I was like, I really want to spend twenty bucks to watch this movie here in my house, and I couldn't justify that as an experience, even though that's kind of where things are going right now in a way, but they haven't really figured it out yet because now they're just pushing everything back. Nothing really new is coming to that, so I don't think that's the solution right now. And just looking at the Disney movie release states, we'll go through kind of some of the big ones that have just been taken out, but Disney they've pushed back Mulan to July, which even that when you don't know if it's gonna happen. Black Widow was kind of the last blow for me of like, Okay, this is for real, Like no summer movies are happening. That's now coming out on November six, so that took the Eternals release date, and The Eternals is now coming out on February. Jungle Cruise with the Rock is now coming out July. Dr Strange is now coming out in November four. Love and Thunder is now coming out February two, and the fifth Indiana Jones movie is now coming out July, which I think Harrison Ford will be eighty years old by then. And the other kind of last straw of it was the Top Gun movie. The new Top Gun movie with Tom Cruise is now coming out. It's supposed to come out June, right before my birthday. I was like, all right, I'm gonna go see that movie on my birthday. It'll be great. A bunch of people were looking forward to that. Now it's not coming out till December. The weird part now is movies come out for a certain reason around certain times, Like in the beginning of the year. Stuff is very slow because not a lot of people are going to the movies. So you have kind of maybe a sleeper horror movie, maybe a kind of semi blockbuster like Bad Boys, Um for Life like that will come out and that's kind of like the biggest movie for a bit because people aren't really going to the movies. And then you kind of really ramp up in the summer, and that's where everybody's at home warn and just kind of hanging out and they want to go see a movie. And that's why you put all those big blockbusters right there. You usually kick it off with a big Marvel movie in May, and then you have just stuff come out to August. That's where all your big blockbusters now, which all those movies now are coming out in the fall, which is gonna be weird because in the fall is usually where you kind of get the more Oscar nominated movies and the really big movies, like right around Christmas, like that's when a Star Wars movie will come out, and now you're gonna have all these movies kind of jumbled up, and I think that's gonna be weird just for box office numbers, which right now don't exist, Like they're straight up not reporting box office numbers. And I just don't know when it's going to go back to normal. When you look at just entertainment in general, like even sports, you wonder when that's gonna go back to normal. They gotta cancel football and your factor in movies of the different thing about the other things of coming back. Movies can adapt in a way, they can go to streaming, they can go into different places. But you see these movie theaters, not really I keep calling the movie theater, but movie companies. They don't want to really embrace that just yet. They're still just the laying and the laying. But if it gets delayed anymore, you wonder if they can really hold onto these movies. Because with the Marvel movies, those have to come out in order, because the Black Widow movies set up, the Eternals movies, they all have a structure. So one gets delayed delays everything. And not only that, but you're getting production delayed now, Like the Batman movie has been delayed in production, so that was supposed to come out on my birthday up next year. It's probably gonna get pushed back even further. So I don't know if we're just missing out on things right now and if things will catch up or eventually, hey, we're gonna have all these great movies to watch it once, or if there will be another dry spell down later the line. But pretty much everything is postponed. Everything is gonna happen eventually, and we don't really know what that's gonna look like. They're saying the move on in July will maybe be the first time theaters open back up, But even then, I don't know they could push that back. Like I said, I think movies will come back eventually, and I don't think the movie theater will die. I think they will adapt in a way. I just don't think it will go all the way to dreaming so quick as people think it's going to be. Maybe they jumped on it just a bit quick because it was like, Okay, we gotta do something. People are home, we gotta adapt to that and get these movies out there. We're gonna come out anyway. And it comes to a point where you can't along to these movies forever because then it delays all your other movies. So I was bummed to see that Black Widow got pushed back. I was really looking forward to that. I was bummed that Top Gun got pushed back so far. But hey, that's how all these movies are happening right now. I think I'm fine with STUF getting delayed, knowing that they're Gonnet come out eventually. What's weird to see is when movies will go back into production and what happens with you know, even new movies getting made right now, Like where where are they at on that? So anyway, that's just my thoughts on the state of the movie industry right now and when everything we'll go back to normal. I'm kind of watching this week by week and um following it along like you eyes are. So hopefully we can get back into the movie theater soon and hopefully and if not, maybe they can find a way to make it feel like a more enjoyable experience at home. I don't know what I look like. Maybe make it to where you can actually watch the movie with the stars from the movie. If they're making these virtual experiences, why do I do that? You read a movie and then you also get like a commentary or something something to make it a little more of an experience at home, something like that. I don't know. All right, those are my thoughts on the movie industry right now. I'll keep you guys updated as I see everything being developed. All right. Gonna get into a movie interview now of one that is now streaming on Netflix. So if you want to watch it at home. It's called The Platform, and it's a pretty intense movie. It's pretty violent. It's pretty brutal, so much so that after I watched the trailer, I knew I wanted to see it. But with everything going on in the world right now, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna thinkive myself a bit of time to kind of get my mind prep for this movie, because right now I kind of just want to watch something that makes me feel good, that makes me happy. And I saw this movie and the concept seemed a little bit depressing, so it took me a bit to watch it. But if you were curious about it and saw it up on your Netflix, I'll let you know what I thought about it. But first, here's just a little bit of The Platform. There are three kinds of people, the ones above, the ones below, and the ones who fall. So this is the pit and got you said, you, my Gussie, do you know how this all works? It's obvious we must eat what will it be? Whatever the ones above don't want? All right, So the first thing you gotta know watching this movie is that it is a Spanish science fiction movie. So if you're watching this movie in the US, like I am. What you're seeing is a movie made in Spanish but overdubbed in English. So I had a bit of a problem in that I'm Mexican American and I can speak Spanish. But not only that. After seeing Parasite, which was a South Korean movie, I was kind of more into the idea of watching a movie and subtitles. I think watching a movie the way it was meant to be seen by the director and the filmmakers, it adds a lot to the movie, and I feel like, if it's a really good movie, you can overcome that barrier of reading the subtitle. So I was a little bit like, Okay, they should have just given you the option of watching this in Spanish first of all. But aside from that, I felt like maybe I missed out on some of the stuff because first of all, the movie is called the Platform here, but in Spanish it's called it Loyal, which means pretty much the whole or the pit. So I feel like even like the title doesn't translate all the way, but essentially what the movie is about is this guy gets sent to a vertical prison, and what the vertical prison is. Each cell is on its own level, So there's two people per sell and what happens is they are all ranked from like one to all the way to like way way will be down. So he gets put into a level, and what happens is they get food sent to them on this platform. So this food platform comes down for like two minutes per day and that's all the time they have to eat. So basically they're eating the leftovers from whatever the people on the platform above them didn't get to or just allowed them pretty much to eat. So if you're on a very high up platform, you get the you get the top pick, and to get to eat all the chicken, you get to drink all the wine. The further down it goes, the more scrap you get. And then if you get below like the fifty level line, you're pretty much not eating. So the movie kind of develops and it really plays a part of like the social system, and it was almost parallel lot to what's going on in the world now, which is a little bit disturbing of like, like immediately, what I thought is when people go to the grocery store right now, when they're hoarding items and you really should only be taking what you need to take, you shouldn't go to the grocery or and pile up on all the toilet paper, or take all the Brussels sprouts. That speaking from my personal experience, but that I saw parallels and what people are doing now of hoarding food and hoarding items when in reality there's enough for everybody. If you just take what you need, there will be enough for everybody to go around and it won't be so apocalyptic feelings. So in the movie, the main character is like, what if we tell the platform above us, hey, only take what you need and rashing it out all the way down? If we set up the system tell the people at the very top, like, hey, only take what you need and rashing out so that all the platforms can get enough to eat, that it will all be enough food for them all to have. And you see kind of the battle of Oh, like, that's really easy for you to say at this level you're higher up than us. Of course you're telling people below us that. So the platform he's on, nobody will listen to him below, and no one will listen to him above. So what happens is they're not on the same platform. By the entire movie. He starts out and a pretty nice platform where he gets a decent amount of food, and then later he's very down at the bottom where he doesn't have anything to eat, and it gets pretty crazy. The movie is pretty violent, and not only that, there's some cannibalism. So if you're not cool with violence and cannibalism, it's probably not the movie for you. So I won't ruin the movie. I don't give any spoilers in my reviews, but it just kind of escalates into him trying to find a plan to fix this system. So the movie ends up just kind of being a commentary on social classes and just people in general and humanity, which I wasn't really expecting to take away from this. I just thought it was a crazy science fiction movie. I ended up liking it, oh right. I think the fact that it was in English and it was meant to be in Spanish kind of took away a little bit from me. I felt a little bit was lost in it, didn't make it as unique. I thought the movie itself was a great concept, one that made me want to watch it, which I think is a good indication that it's a novel idea. But I don't think it really kept me there. The entire time. I kind of faded off in some parts and it kind of got some not interesting moments. I think this movie had a little bit more potential than it lived up to. But interesting concept and I do like sci fi and horror movies. But it's also just not really that easy of a movie to watch. There's a lot of stabbing, there's a lot of gruesome images, and maybe just not something you really wanted to be thinking of right now. So so I will give it three out of five empty wine bottles. I do think visually it's pretty cool to watch, just the concept of this prison and how it goes from level to level. I don't think the story is all the way there, especially in the ending, so I don't really recommend you watch it if you want to get put into like kind of a sad depress state of bit And unless you're really into like watching some very brutal, gruesome images, maybe not the movie for you right now. All right, that's the episode. But before I go, I gotta give my Instagram shout out of the week. It's going to Jackie on Instagram at being Fearless Jack's and she was listening to the movie Quarantine episode and said, it was a great list I put together, so a bunch of movies you can watch right now that you have the time. Um, that's a couple of episodes back. If you want to check that out. All you have to do to get an Instagram shout out or Twitter shout out is just tweet me or tag me in an Instagram story.
