[00:00:00] Reel Nerds is a proud partner of the Denver Podcast Network in the shadow of the mountains. We speak. How would you define the mile-high hustle? Well, I don't know what that is. Please tell me. Denver's changed a great deal over the past 30 years. Ten years. Five years.
[00:00:20] Heck, I've noticed some new things pop up since last month. But if you look a little closer, you can see growing businesses, new ideas and interesting people making these changes happen. So here it is, a podcast about the businesses, ideas and people shaping Denver today.
[00:00:38] And we're calling it Mile-High Hustle. Mile-High Hustle. Mile-High Hustle. The mile-high hustle's the grind. Working your ass off and networking like crazy in like the real way. They work like crazy so they can get the weekend off and go skiing.
[00:00:52] I think it's something different than what's going on in places like Silicon Valley. The breaks are better in Colorado. Every other week in the lead-up to Denver Startup Week, the largest free entrepreneurial event of its kind,
[00:01:04] we're releasing a new episode to help you navigate this dynamic new business landscape. How would you define the mile-high hustle? You know, when I think the word hustle, I think about how hard it is to work to do anything that you've never done before
[00:01:18] or that no one's done before. Colorado continues to lead the nation in innovation and change. Mile-High Hustle. The Denver Startup Week podcast is being directed by Denver Startup Week, hosted by myself, Paul Corolli, and produced by House of Pod. Episode one is coming on June 25th.

[00:02:28] Brad and James were not present for the recording, so I took over recording duties. And as expected, something went wrong because I'm terrible. The first four minutes of the show were lost due to an issue with the SD card.
[00:02:42] So you do not get the intro for Corinne and Ryan and myself. But you've heard us on the show before, so odds are you already recognize our voices. If you don't, Ryan is the one that's speaking the loudest. I am the one that's speaking the most timidly,
[00:02:59] and Corinne is the one that's speaking softly but assuredly. Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy this week's episode on Christopher Robin. I'm Andre Gower. And I'm Ryan Lambert. And you're listening to Real Nerds podcast. You're good to go. Yeah, now we're good.
[00:03:28] This is why I don't like directors. They always try to like stop me from doing stuff, and I'm ready. I've been ready since first call! I am ready! Ryan, just because you're ready doesn't mean you expose yourself to the entire crew to prove it.
[00:03:44] That's from Peewee's Big Adventure, from the little bratty kid. Yeah, that's right. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to go to Big Adventure from the little bratty kid. Anybody?
[00:03:59] So every week on Real Nerds podcast we go see a new movie, we podcast our experience of the world. This week we saw Christopher Robin, I almost said Winnie the Pooh. AKA crying the movie. I did not cry. You're a human monster. I was honestly surprised.
[00:04:15] I had Kleenexes in my prayers. I was prepared and then I didn't cry. Me, I'm sitting in a row all by myself, because I saw it really early in the morning. Sometimes I have to because of my wife and I's schedule.
[00:04:26] So I ran there and I'm like, I don't know if Kellan can sit through this because it's more of a drama. After seeing it he'd probably really like it. But I'm sitting in a row all by myself and there's a moment in the movie.
[00:04:37] I'll talk about it later that I'm just like, no I'm not crying. And all these, yeah, I look like goofball. Speak for yourself. We'll talk about it. Sometimes I felt like I was seeing it through a watery filter. I'm the one who didn't cry.
[00:04:51] I know. It says a lot about us, doesn't it? It does. You're a robot. Yes I am. You're a monster. You're a monster. Only great quote from Shrek nowadays. So stay tuned to the end of the show.
[00:05:05] We're gonna see if you see the movie Not Play the Trailer then spoil it because you can spoil this movie actually. Oh yeah. And in the meantime we're gonna eat snacks. Yeah! I love Karin. She always brings snacks. Shit it's the 90s.
[00:05:19] She's got pretty sure like you brought us enough snacks one time that lasted us like a month. We got fruit by the foot. I brought a second box because I thought there would be more of you here. I know what a bunch of yahoo's.
[00:05:30] Actually I was gonna bring this up. I'm gonna apologize to people that are expecting real nerds episodes and our interviews from Denver Comic Con. Everything in our personal lives have kind of overlapped these last couple months.
[00:05:40] So James got married and then Brad is also working not only on a feature but he's not here this week because he's shooting another 48 hour film. Which for those who don't know, he has 48 hours to make a movie. So it's all overlapped and made are crazy.
[00:05:56] Episodes do exist. These interviews do exist and we will put them up as soon as our personal lives settle down. And also if you listen to the show enough, you know I've only been on one time in the last like four weeks. So I know everybody's missed me.
[00:06:10] I've seen the Twitter. The total engagements have been down since I haven't been here. You should have seen like the streets of Denver. There were protests all over. There was. I thought at first it was just because of what's going on in the news but no. No.
[00:06:22] It's all we want Ryan. I know and I'm finally here to quell the uprising. I thought it was a little too much when they kept you like Attica but. Dude that'd be sweet if I was like. How much you know throwing money into the street.
[00:06:36] And then it looks like you only threw a little bit but it's actually a lot like a cannon. Boom. I gotta tell ya, I'm throwing tons of money. You got a lighter voice back then. I guess. Yeah. No it's hard for me to.
[00:06:48] I can't do Pacino at all except for his Devils advocate Pacino where he's way over the top the whole time. It's also said to the woman Pacino too. You think? It's kind of. But he's so over the top in Devils advocate. Oh yeah.
[00:07:02] I can't do any other like just normal Pacino. It's always over the top. I can't do just hey look at me I'm 70s Pacino. Dog day afternoon. I can't. I can't do it. Oh godfather. Sir Pocop. Yeah you know those movies. The apex of Pacino.
[00:07:20] I just hope in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood he's doing Com Pacino because that'd be awesome. Because it seems like the character he's supposed to be playing is. Where is Manson? What character is he playing in that?
[00:07:31] He's playing the I think he's playing the rancher who owned the ranch that Manson's cult hung out on. Interesting movie. Yeah. We'll see. We love seeing movies at Alamo Draft House. Here's what's playing at the Alamo Draft House in the month of August. Hello. Hi I'm Kevin Smith.
[00:07:49] Hi I'm Leonard Moulton. Hi I'm Mark Hamill. Hi I'm Elijah Wood. This is Seth Rogen. I'm Chris Thurman's boss. I'm Mark Star. Welcome to the Alamo Draft. Me more tell me more. Well you know Rocky's gonna be there. Oh god damn this is the this is the alone.
[00:08:05] Brad didn't tell me how to turn it off before he left. Yeah so they're showing all seven films of Rocky so that includes Creed. When does Creed 2 come out October? November. Is it November?
[00:08:16] Yeah I think the only I think the reason they're doing it in August and into September possibly is because they've got stuff planned for September and then October's all horror themed and then November's quiet. So my goal this year is to make it to dismember.
[00:08:33] I would love to. October at Alamo. I just gotta like it's all matter of work. I have blackout that we that moment. So they're also showing all the Indiana Jones films. You should really watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
[00:08:48] It's better than people say it is better than people think it is. The Harrison Ford is old. So he's awesome. Where's my goat Indy? Where's my goat? Young and hot. My mom has a hugest crush on Harrison Ford. When he was River Phoenix.
[00:09:03] You can see it for 15 minutes in The Last Cruising. When he my wife and my wife my mom thought he was so hot in Ritter the Lost Ark and Regarding Henry. So some some J.J. Abrams first movie. No no it's not that. It's a bad movie.
[00:09:23] It's the two films that you don't pair side by side like. I love the witness. I think that's a older person like favorite of Harrison Ford is. Well yeah they get I mean the hot and heavy as it gets is when she's like you know taking her bath.
[00:09:37] I know. Oh yeah. Yeah. That scene. I was talking about the barn raising again hot and heavy but what do I know. Well that is on heavy too but like he sneaks in on that gal taking it taken out the sponge bath. That's right. The Amish.
[00:09:51] How does an Amish fireplace work? Voodoo. Voodoo. Apologies to the Amish community. I don't know exactly but it just in case. Because you know it's. Rump Springer's never plugged in but it gives off heat. Very very cool. Maybe they've learned to just say whenever we feel like it.
[00:10:11] Anyways that's what's playing at the Alamo Draft House. I didn't say what we do. We also talk about movies that are coming out on Blu-ray movie news and what we've been watching. I have a lot of women watch. I haven't gone for so long.
[00:10:23] My only episode that I was here at was our film explosion which by the way I also got to say things. That was the most participated film explosion in emails and Facebook stuff that I've gotten in a long time. Yeah.
[00:10:34] 98 seems to be right around our target audience or something. It's also going to be our most controversial episode because Zach. Yeah I haven't heard it obviously so I'm assuming you guys read the email I said. Yeah yeah yeah we did. We did. That's not why we're rolling.
[00:10:48] We didn't judge you. No we judged Zach. Yeah. Because Zach is dumb but. Uh huh. Uh huh. So you know so no so this one's going to be afterwards. So Zach. Dumb. Dumb.
[00:11:00] Picked Saving Private Ryan at number five which is really low and so we gave him a crap for that but number four was the faculty. No four was out of sight three was the faculty. Oh yeah three was the faculty. Yeah.
[00:11:11] I mean I've seen Private Ryan but I've never seen the faculty. So it's okay if you so here's the thing is saying Private Ryan should be higher but that you put the faculty above it. Mmm.
[00:11:24] It kind of you kind of lose your argument for a list being top ten of anything. Okay so I guess I'm always confused is film explosions supposed to be like the best movie? No what we think what we think. Yeah. That's nothing to do with anybody else.
[00:11:35] Or just favorite movies of the year. Yeah. Yeah just like stuff you like to re-watch or like you really appreciate and whatnot. I mean in somewhat in Zach's defense because again I've never seen the faculty.
[00:11:43] Savvy Private Ryan is a good movie but it is so hard to watch because it's so brutal and violent. I'm gonna eat fruit by the foot and pretend I'm not listening to you. Um actually. It's kind of like Schindler's List right? Yeah but so Schindler's List 93. 93 yeah.
[00:12:00] So um. I own Glory but I've never seen it once because it was just sad. Well that you're wrong. I need some fruit by the foot thanks Corinne. No. Everybody's entitled to their opinion. Yeah. But when your opinion is wrong I'm gonna make fun of you for it.
[00:12:16] Everyone's entitled to their wrong opinion. Exactly. Is that what we're on right now? Yeah. It's just here here's the thing I always look at too. It's not only should the movie be enjoyable I get it like I have a freaking dead man
[00:12:28] on campus on my list and almost heroes I get it not great films but those are fun and they're at the bottom of my list um when you put a movie that's not very well made and um a movie that's maybe like the greatest war movie ever made
[00:12:43] I just have a hard time buying your list. I didn't even put Saving Private Ryan on my list so. That's true she did not. So. Either did Henry. Yeah that was actually kind of weird but I thought it was one of those things where
[00:12:56] it would be on everyone's list. I mean granted I didn't see it in 1998. Yeah. Does it scream 1998 to me in the same way as like. That's fine. It screams timeless that's for sure.
[00:13:06] So for me so when I was doing the 98 list I was in high school so a lot of mine so I think number three for me is the wedding singer because I saw that the most in theaters
[00:13:16] that day in that year and I think it's I think it's a great movie but I think a lot of times when you do nostalgic film explosions you go back to thinking of what's good
[00:13:25] for you at that time and stuff you're going to continuously watch and I just give that crap because it's fun. Yeah no yeah. But I mean he's wrong but it's still fun um actually I'm not sure what
[00:13:35] actually you weren't here last week but I rewatched it because I picked up the 4K I mean I can only watch the Blu-ray. Oh you're having private Ryan or faculty. No the 4K of the faculty. I have the faculty screamers on shout. I think it's shout.
[00:13:48] I have a faculty shout. I checked the company on that link you gave me it's actually it's actually Mill Creek. Is it? Yeah because they have that Blu-ray and digital. Do I own the faculty? I'm pretty sure I do.
[00:13:58] But anyway like I rewatched it and like I conceded that I probably should have put it up a couple more spaces at the very least just because it is that amazing I hadn't watched it in two years prior to that
[00:14:09] re-screening but I knew I wanted it on the list so yeah but I can't wait to get a 4K TV because I want to watch that movie on 4K because it probably looks even more amazing. Um yeah sometimes movies do.
[00:14:21] See that's the thing after you told me about Jurassic Park I'm weary about some of the 4Ks I got. Not the one that I got from work though. So yeah here's the thing is when you're Jurassic Park and 4K does look better
[00:14:34] but it's not like a show piece one. You're not going to the audio is amazing but you're not going to say oh look at what this film can do. Yeah. Being you know I don't talk about a movie that came out in 98 that surprised me.
[00:14:51] It was 98 maybe 97 but I'll talk about it later. Then I got on 4K that is amazing on 4K. And it's a Sony movie so I think maybe Sony is better at it because the Patriot looks stunning on 4K. And then Jurassic Park. Did it you've got mail? No.
[00:15:13] You've got mail. I do love that movie it didn't make it to my top ten but it's one of it is a great movie. The remake of the shop around the corner that we all needed. Yes. So this is movie news. It's real news.
[00:15:35] Alrighty actually a lot happened this week for at least the Star Wars community because we got a bunch of announcements about the cast and also the fate of Carrie Fisher. So they put out a press release with the actual cast
[00:15:53] like who's returning and it's revealed that Luke Skywalker is going to be back. Mark Campbell's in the cast list along with pretty much everyone that's already been announced including Carrie Russell's role. And then Carrie Fisher's last appearance in Star Wars will be
[00:16:06] via footage that was shot for the Force Awakens but unused. It's a great article because off the Hollywood reporter they interviewed her son and her daughter and they allowed them to do it because they weren't going to do it at first.
[00:16:20] But JJ made the argument that he wanted to finish her story. How they're going to do it. I don't know. He shot insurance footage didn't he. Just in case. Oh no it's like an Ed Wood when he's like Belle Ligosi. Isn't he dead.
[00:16:35] Yes but I got the last footage he ever shot. Cool. Guys remember when she deserves to be in it. Yes. No I agree. I think that's the only way to like even remotely approach that subject. Because if you kill her off screen.
[00:16:55] Yeah I think that's tougher to swallow than I mean she's obviously passed away in real life. Yeah because it's like something you'd get it but at the same time it's just. Unfulfilled. Yeah. She's such a huge part of it.
[00:17:07] Oh yeah and I think in The Last Jedi I think she's the heart of that movie. So. I think she's supposed to be her movie. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how you know Seven was Han Solo and eight was Luke's and this was supposed to be.
[00:17:22] Chewie gets my movie. Sorry. What's it tell. It's not that good I know. Moving on though because if we go too long on Star Wars people will send us hate mail. Really. Yeah because that's what all the fans do nowadays.
[00:17:35] I thought you meant like when I was on The Last. No no no just. Did you hear that Ryan when we went off on a tangent. And he did it for you. Oh. We tried to like figure out why everyone's pissy but we got no answers.
[00:17:50] So many answers. I mean we have answers it's just no one's satisfied with them. Hey don't eat the paper okay fruit pie the foot just educated me. Fuck. Oh god. I haven't had those in years thanks Ryan. Ryan I gotta go to the hospital.
[00:18:01] When I was younger we used to like see if we could eat the whole thing at once. I don't think I can do that now. Even though they're pretty delicious. I used to eat them like a cinnamon roll.
[00:18:09] I once saw him eat electrical tape right off the roll. I thought it was a fruit by the foot that had gone bad. Well good news. Good news. Now there's a warning. I won't do that anymore. No what's your reference. Oh it's the good place.
[00:18:29] Oh man you're busting that out I gotta. That's good stuff. My brain's been clocked cause I've been watching a lot of alpha. Yeah that'll clock your brain. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Ryan how are you doing. That's not a good alpha.
[00:18:46] Moving on though remember they were going to make a diehard year one. Well apparently we got some news that it's moving forward with a script. It's going to feature a young Holly Gennaro and Bruce Willis is going to help cast young John McClain. Cool.
[00:19:03] I kind of don't care but I wanted to bring it up cause it is diehard. Unless he's just doing like pop stuff. Yeah I don't. I guess it's going to take place like a year after diehard. Well they call it year one I guess he's a rookie.
[00:19:18] You know what would be awesome if it was a case that he did early on in his career that established like how tough he could be but it also got away from him and then the bookend is old Bruce Willis taking care of finishing it.
[00:19:31] So like it starts with that ends with old, starts with old ends with old all in the middle. So it's like I don't know an artsy diehard. We already tried dumb diehard with the last one why not artsy this time.
[00:19:45] Yeah I guess just as long as it's not Jay Courtney huh. Excuse me it's Captain Boomerang. Right. Ryan this is just for you and us did you see the trailer for Puppet Master the littlest rank. I did not. I'm not a big Puppet Master fan. This looks ridiculous.
[00:20:04] And I've already heard it described by some of the guys on Shockwaves and just seeing the footage that matches up with it like I've never been a big Puppet Master fan either. I'm a Charles Band fan because not because he makes great films
[00:20:20] but because he knows he doesn't make great films he's like you know what I'm making these movies anyways. He's like not another Edward reference but he is like that guy who's making the sex change film. Don't need the paper.
[00:20:33] I don't make burning passion stories from people who want to tell their stories. I make crap. But I am so in the early 90s he did do a called Full Moon Features and I love the subspecies series and Castle Freak is pretty good.
[00:20:49] I'm fairly sure those are probably all available now in his streaming service. Well I mean I have all the subspecies on Blu-ray. Oh yes you don't need to worry about that. I don't do streaming because I do something streaming like Alph
[00:21:01] but as far as movies go I don't like streaming them. Right. I hate when the bit rate goes down. You know what it tries me crazy. While you would never do it though you should listen to an interview he did with those
[00:21:11] Shockwave's people from Blumhouse about how he got the streaming service going and how it operates. Oh yeah no it's insane. If people I'm probably gonna get the Disney one I'm not gonna lie because if it's gonna have all the Disney movies all the TV shows
[00:21:25] and I mean when I was younger Disney used to be a premium channel I know I'm older than you so you probably don't remember this but it used to be a premium channel where it didn't have commercials and you had to pay for it.
[00:21:34] And my grandparents are the only people that had the Disney channel so I used to go over there all the time and watch kids incorporated all the goofy like the new Mickey Mouse club
[00:21:45] and I used to love that stuff so I'm really hoping that that stuff makes it sway back on there so I can watch it once like what was wrong with me as a kid this stuff sucks but at the same time it's still available
[00:21:54] and if they make all the cartoons that's what I really want. Yeah. I want to I mean I have Darkwing Duck on DVD. You would know better than anyone is there a restored version of Disney's Halloween treat with that trippy 90s intro and that silly song.
[00:22:09] No so there's I just hope that it's available. I yeah I mean right now so my Disney movie club one of the exclusives is there's like a Darkwing Duck Christmas that I've never seen that I want to get but it's only available on DVD
[00:22:26] and they also have like Ben and me on I remember the old cartoon with a little mouse that helps Ben Franklin that you still love so I hope that stuff makes its way on there but streaming if people like it good for them. Awesome moving on.
[00:22:42] Remember when we were going to get two Jungle Book movies at once and then we didn't well Andy Circus this Jungle Book movie is now going to Netflix. That looked like garbage. It did. I wasn't yeah I wasn't impressed with the trailer.
[00:22:56] Well I'm still interested to see how it all looks but I would rather seen it in a theater because I'm sure that mocap would look better in a theater than it probably was bench on the shelf for two years. It has because it was supposed to release in 2016.
[00:23:11] Well it's just like what other movie they do that with is pretty big. Well not Cloverfield Paradox. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean that's supposed to come out and then I don't know how much Warner Brothers sold it for.
[00:23:24] I mean and I don't understand what I guess they just have it for content. I mean I don't know how many people are going to jump on Netflix like oh I got to get Netflix this month because they have Mowgli.
[00:23:33] I heard Matt Damon plays a parrot or something. I'll give it a chance. I like Andy Circus a lot. I think that it's a shame that no one recognizes how great he is in the Planet of the Apes movies on a wider scale.
[00:23:47] Me I appreciate I mean his performance in war is stunning and he should definitely have an Oscar. Did you see his directorial debut Breathe with Andrew Garfield. It's actually really good. It's it's kind of like a melodrama like so it's it wasn't going to like
[00:24:07] push anybody's boundaries or buttons but it's pretty solid entertainment. Did he put Andrew Garfield in a mo cap suit. No no no. Turn the table. Andrew Garfield. No no cap. He's a mo cap lung. That's why it's called Breathe guys.
[00:24:23] Oh I think I did see Preview for that. Yeah I saw it and I thought it was going to be like some kind of awards contender and then I never saw it in the theater. It was the same was good by Christopher Robin that year too.
[00:24:33] But I've seen it pop up on streaming sites and I'm probably gonna peep it out again at some point. But I remember it being like really good when I finally like rented it on Amazon but now it's like getting to those free streamings.
[00:24:47] Ben Affleck and Matt Damon purchased a Monopoly Heist movie story. Hey I'll watch it. So Argo isn't 100% accurate at all. Doesn't matter. But he knows how to make a really cool movie. Oh Argo. If he directs and writes it I'm down. Yeah and I want him.
[00:25:03] Yeah he's one of those guys who doesn't get a lot of credit for how great of a film maker he is. I mean obviously he won an Oscar but I mean as far as general people are concerned
[00:25:12] because he's I think he's pretty great as an actor and a director. Oh I agree. What was his last movie that he directed? Live by Night or Live by Night. Yeah which I maintain is not as bad as the credit the critic said it was
[00:25:24] but I will admit it is flawed. Yeah actually I have the Blu-ray. I got it for like $3 on a Black Friday sale. I got it for $2. It's like it's been when it closed. Yes it's still in the cellophane sitting on my shelf.
[00:25:35] Oh it's not still in my cellophane. So I made this deal with my wife that I'd make a bigger concerning effort to rewatch films. That's why you can go on to RealNursePodcast.com and read the Scream Factory Crypt to rewatch films and Justify their existence.
[00:25:53] Justify their existence because my wife not that she's like telling me I can't do stuff but she's like how many of these movies have you even seen twice? So it's basically like I'll show you. I'll watch all these movies twice
[00:26:02] and then I have to get up like wanting to do it. I can't even say that. Yeah. Like when I saw The Last Jedi for the first time I was just feeling like hey and then I saw it again later
[00:26:12] and it helped me to process it a lot. Yeah. Whereas when I went with friends again to see it and they came out and they were like I don't know if I really like that movie and I'm like go see it again I think after the second time
[00:26:24] you will appreciate it or I already know one of the movies that's still in my top ten that will probably end up on my film explosion Red Sparrow this year. A lot of guys hated it.
[00:26:34] I mean I think I'm the only one who liked it on the podcast. Yeah. And I watched it and I'm like I don't know what they've seen. I think it's pretty fun. Well fun is a bad word. Yeah. But I think it's a pretty entertaining spy movie
[00:26:45] and watching it again. Yeah it's brutal and it's really mean but I kind of like movies like that. And so I'll be watching it again before my film explosion week it's actually starting to get pretty close to my film explosion like compiling of a list. Mm-hmm.
[00:27:00] Because I go back and watch tons of movies and see where they sit. When I was, didn't have a kid I remember I posted on Facebook like five years ago. I literally have stacks of movies and I would just watch them to see where they land.
[00:27:13] But now I have a kid I can't watch Red Sparrow with him around. Why not? Well not that I don't think he would. It's more so that he would not be confused. He just get annoyed because it's really slow moving and he's like do.
[00:27:29] I think there's like nudity and sex. Oh you think there's nudity in that movie. Let me reassure you there is nudity in that movie. I don't care about that. There's a lot of awkward boobs. Not necessarily sad boobs. Awkward boobs. Yeah. Anyways. But anyway yeah.
[00:27:45] My parents always just covered my eyes during that kind of video. My dad never. There's only one movie I remember vividly where my dad's like don't watch this as Predator 2 where before the Predator shows up and kills all those drug lords and that chick's like totally reeling
[00:28:00] that guy. And that's the only time my dad said you know, child's play in Friday 13th all the time. Look at me I turned out normal. Sure. That's a relative term. But anyway the Monopoly movie really quick I'm down for this. The story it's based on
[00:28:15] sounds really interesting because I remember those Monopoly games and they were... What I always hope for because when I saw the big short or what it was about my dad doesn't look that fun but when you see the movie this movie is pretty awesome.
[00:28:26] So hopefully something like that. You remember the Monopoly game at McDonald's at one point they had five bucks. I don't remember. They would have like $1, $5, $10 and I collected that shit and that's how I built part of my first TVD collection.
[00:28:40] You know I was never a big McDonald's guy. Oh I was. Like I can... Yep. Yeah. No last time I went there. Now there's anything wrong. I don't care what people do but I just I've never been that guy. I just wanted best five bucks.
[00:28:56] And now I just want McDonald's. Lastly because it relates to our movie of the week and I think Mr. Robin won't be released in China because China's president's angry. Because people say he looks like poo. Yeah. John Oliver does a really funny segment on that
[00:29:11] and he's continued it where he puts a side by side picture of Winnie the Pooh and China's president goes I can't tell the difference. I love it. Yeah. It's not the first censorship problem Disney's had within the past couple years.
[00:29:26] And with China I mean they control everything so. And then they had other issues with the Indians movie or one of them or something with the content issue but. Anyway that's news. America. At least as far as I can tell. You talked about movie pass last week.
[00:29:39] Yes we did. But there is an update on that. It was that they they are now no longer doing first run. And they also raise the price to $14.95. Yeah which sure it's cheaper than AMC. I mean that's not a bad deal but.
[00:29:56] It's less stable than AMC Stubb's list. Yeah I don't think that business model is going to succeed. No they can't because. They have to succeed though because I want Gotti too. I mean they I think they went about it wrong and I think their rollout and constant changing
[00:30:12] of the terms was really clumsy. And I think it just turned a lot of people off because. Especially during the summer. Yeah exactly. Because I know a lot of people like I did you know when I would see fallout
[00:30:24] I was like why can't I pull it up on my movie pass and I was finally like well I mean I'm already here I'm just going to buy the ticket. And you're glad you did. Seriously I want Gotti too. Gotti got you back. Okay.
[00:30:40] It's just John Travolta doing that like finger bang thing there like a bing Finger guns that's it. Not what I said before. Because that was dirty. Anyway that's news. Thanks Zach for putting that image in my head. Yeah. Now we can never get out of it.
[00:30:56] I was thinking of a South Park episode I'm sorry. So this is what's coming out on Blu-ray this week. DVD release in Blu-ray. And Ultra 4K. Choo choo choo. Choo choo choo. Every time I see stuff like Ultra or Extreme I just think of late 90s
[00:31:18] when they use like X's to describe it or something like that. The first half of the year at the Bar Sauce Bar it's on the house. Quite a bit of cool things are coming out. Predator is getting a 4K release it's also getting a 4K trilogy collection.
[00:31:34] So that's what I'm getting with all three movies they don't include the AVP movies which is okay. Yeah. Recreate. Recreate is fun. Or funner. See you know what's funny is a lot of people don't like that one as much. Really? I think it's more because it's more violent.
[00:31:52] Yeah maybe that's why I like it. Also coming out from Scream Factory is we are getting a John Carpenter made for TV movie called Someone to Watch Me. Someone's Watching Me I'm sorry. They're also going to be getting some more John titles.
[00:32:08] Yeah really soon I think it's next week. We get Starman soon. Not soon but next year I think. Because they did a huge ass announcement. Yeah so they already did In the Mouth of Madness which is I wish I watched it this week but I didn't have time.
[00:32:22] Yeah we'll probably do that next week. I love that movie. But yeah Someone's Watching Me I've never seen. I might wait until it goes down in price a little bit but the problem with some of these Scream Factory stuff
[00:32:32] if they're not their popular titles they never go down in price. So we'll see. I heard it's not bad. I've never seen his TV movies outside of the Elvis one so I'd need to acquire that and the other one. Also coming out on the horror front
[00:32:47] is one of my favorite horror films that takes place in Colorado. It's called The Changeling with George C. Scott and it's a haunted house near Cheeseman Park. Who got that one? It is. It's set there or it was filmed there? It's set there. Well it's a true story
[00:33:03] and it was filmed there I believe. I don't know I'm not sure but I get the deluxe edition it comes with the whole story about it so I'll let you know next week. There's a pretty great seance scene in it
[00:33:17] up there with I don't know if you've ever seen The Uninvited it's pretty close to the un I think it's better than Uninvited but kind of the same vein. So it's a great film there's two versions of it too so I'm getting the The Changeling Violet
[00:33:33] I'm getting the Super Deluxe Edition which comes with the sound track which I didn't know I don't even know if I even want it but is $5 more and I was like it's like a hard slip cover case but there's a standard edition as well
[00:33:47] that comes with all the Blu-ray special features. Driving down the road, catching people's speeding Yes. Now you know. Oh Severin is doing it. Severin. Severin puts out good Blu-rays. No they do I was just wondering because like there's always like everyone tries to get something whether it's Arrow
[00:34:05] or Keenah Lobo or something like that I always like seeing who gets what. Yeah. How they're doing Candy Man with Scream because the UK is getting the arrows getting UK but they shared money on getting the Master Plan. Yeah because they're called red shirt productions
[00:34:21] there's a lot of people that do the documentaries. Yeah. No. Star Trek. Also the Death of Superman is coming out from DC Animated. The Steelbook looks neat from Best Buy. Yeah there's supposed to be a Steelbook two of the Predator at Best Buy
[00:34:39] I never saw it so I just ordered off Amazon. I don't know. I never trust their ad. Revenge is the movie I actually really want to see it. Brad saw it and he's scribed it and I kind of nodded off when he was scribing because he got
[00:34:51] in like really specific detail. Yeah. Thanks Brad. Also Makame from Shout is coming out Collectors Edition. Collectors Edition was a really goofy late 80s early 90s. I don't remember anything about it I know I've seen it. My basically capitalizing on the favorite Mac and me thing ever is
[00:35:09] every time Paul Rudd or most times when Paul Rudd goes on Conan O'Brien show and is asked to play a clip he plays a clip from Mac and me where a kid in a wheelchair falls down falls down a cliff. Yeah that's right.
[00:35:21] It's really funny and just seeing how Conan reacts to it each time is it's wonderful YouTube stuff look up Mac and me Paul Rudd. Mill Creek is releasing they're starting to do this a lot is the complete series of happy endings which I heard is a
[00:35:33] really great sitcom that was only two seasons and it ended really fast. I'm getting the Mill Creek's community blue race at which I'm a little concerned about because sometimes real Creek doesn't put out the best stuff. But it's cheap. It's listed at 100 and right now in Amazon
[00:35:49] it's 50 bucks so I'm hoping that they maybe put effort into it. We'll see. Melissa McCarthy's life of the party is also coming out. I actually want to see that one. It's not like the box. Yeah because I like movies like that.
[00:36:03] I liked it more when it was called back to school starting Robert Downey Jr. But like sincerely like I love those movies like world people are like I'm going back to college. So like the goofy movie too. Are you kidding. An extremely goofy movie has a
[00:36:17] wonderful disco which is a Disney movie club exclusive. Not not blu-ray. They can't do the first one either. Riverdale is also coming out and that's gonna be the second season. Cool. Check that show out. It's a lot better than you might think it is.
[00:36:29] Yeah you did the panel with AJ Kappa or KJ Apa. Yeah. I can't even remember the guy's name anymore. Oh I think there's a still book I finally see it. That's all right. I think the actual other one's cooler. So the 4K for the standard release
[00:36:45] of it is like this red moon kind of looking thing and all the different predators standing in front of it. So it's badass. The still book looks like pop art. Nice. Let me just make sure I'm not missing anything. Toxamunch yourselves. Corrine. Yes I'm
[00:37:03] I've been breeding him in hopes that one day he'll bite. I get first bid. Cuz you see if he did some biting if the spider bites Ryan and he becomes Spider-Man then I can grow a mustache and get gray hair and I can
[00:37:17] wear suspenders and I can yell at Ryan. Parker. I have dreams Corrine they'll never get fulfilled. I love this. It's probably just a spider. Great meme where it's like what is it What do I want pictures of what Spider-Man and it's really funny.
[00:37:37] And someone put a funny meme out today where it's the have you seen the new venom trailer I still haven't know. So there's a part in it where Eddie Brock like removes the venom part and I don't care what he says and but someone put a meme
[00:37:51] where this venom's hand goes on this dude's shoulder and it's Topi McGuire and he's like what do you want and then it takes up parts Mr. Dickovich and it's like rent. That's pretty funny. That's my favorite Black Panther meme from the Avengers Infinity War trailer
[00:38:07] like get this man his rent. But yeah I'm not seeing anything else but like on the Blu-ray film or Screen Factor like Screen Factor like and Shout announced a bunch of stuff they're putting the jerk out on Shout select I'm excited.
[00:38:21] Oh yeah and Call Reiner and Steve Martin did some new special features for it. Shout select stuff is great. And they're doing legally blonde one and two so my sister will have something to finally own that Shout related. She loves those movies. Yes. I don't remember.
[00:38:39] I enjoyed that first one enough because it was a family watch. No I've seen it I don't remember anything about it. I remember Reese Witherspoon has a really pointy chin as I remember from it. It's a joke no one else gets it my mother-in-law
[00:38:53] that's all she ever says me bring up Reese Witherspoon. She says why is her chin so funny. I just thought you were referring to that family guy joke when they use her chin to open a safe. That's how it's like is Seth McFarlane paying you.
[00:39:07] I love Seth McFarlane. I do too. Very talented if you should get his jazz albums pretty good. Yeah and a million ways to die in the west not as bad as you think. No funny. I'll watch it. So anyway Ben Blu-rays. Again Laura.
[00:39:19] Yeah that's it for Blu-rays this is what we've been watching this week. So uh yeah this is the stuff we've been watching. I always pet I don't know if I've ever explained why I always do this when I say what we've been watching.
[00:39:32] So a long time ago when Conan O'Brien was on the Late Late show with Conan O'Brien I used to record them all because I was in school and I go back and he used to have a segment called Guess We'll Never Have Back
[00:39:41] and he used to have this graphic that was kind of like an oval that went across the stage and he'd always pet it and guess we'll never have back. Well that's right. Yeah. One of my favorites was um they had a guy who designed erotic cakes
[00:39:55] and so these aren't real they're just gifts and so he's like so the guy says look at this one and it's all blurred out he says well we can't show that one he says I also have this one called Ass Cake
[00:40:05] and he pulls it out and it's this beautiful cake and Conan sticks his finger in it the frosting is like why do they call it ass cake and he's like because it tastes like ass. Oh my god. Incidentally, Simpsons Conan. Incidentally with Conan.
[00:40:21] Ryan if you haven't looked it up look up the ghost that haunts their studio that sings terrible old time eradiotunes. I love it. Scribbledy do. And he has guests like Barney Brittle Bones so when he shakes his hand all his hand all his hand breaks so dumb.
[00:40:35] I mean I enjoy Howard Sterns like back broadcast but I enjoy Conan's characters more than I like Howard Sterns characters in terms of who creates characters. Conan's goofy like his mid 90s to early 2000s because he wasn't that popular. He could just kind of do whatever he wanted.
[00:40:53] Yeah he didn't really have a limit. But anyway, what did you watch this week? So I wanted to talk about a couple of the things I've been watching since I was on the show last three weeks ago. Me too. So when I was on last time
[00:41:07] Brad and Zach were telling me that they were half off criterion at Barnes and Noble. So I had to go to Barnes and Noble like it was 2003. Did you eventually find one? I found things but I didn't find any criterion. I guess I didn't really know what criterion
[00:41:23] was. I thought it was like oh here are all these cool old movies that are being preserved for posterity. It's like half of them. I think I saw one Audrey Hepburn movie and then there was like ten West Anderson movies and I have no opinion
[00:41:37] of West Anderson because I've never seen his stuff. There's also you know Armageddon and The Rock. They haven't put those on Blu-ray to be fair. No they haven't but they also lie when it's like oh this is about preserving quality films. Armageddon, debatable.
[00:41:51] Well they were starting at the time. That's alright. And then there were a lot of weird foreign things. But I did find their AFI Top 100 section and I got a Blu-ray across the Blanca because of the course. The movie is amazing. Oh still.
[00:42:07] Is it as cool as my $75 one that's sitting on the shelf? Nope. But you still watch the movie and you get the same enjoyment out of it? Well I haven't watched it yet. The other thing that I did watch was North by Northwest on DVD
[00:42:23] for like five bucks. I had never seen. And I had heard about it because I remember I went to Mount Rushmore with my mom and she was like oh yeah North by Northwest and I'm like Mom who's fault is that? Still an effective spy thriller.
[00:42:39] Yeah it was really good. I had two problems with it. One was the ending like that weird ass transition of like there's so much tension. Oh spoilers for a 65 year old movie. No crap. Like is he gonna help her get off?
[00:42:59] Like how are they gonna get off Mount Rushmore and then coo shit. And then he's like bed in the train car and he's helping her up on to the bed and he's like come here and misses whatever their last name is
[00:43:13] and then it was like boom movie over. Just imagine Hitchcock looking down on having to stop mocking my movie young lady. Oh I will mock as much as I want to original Alfred Hitchcock. Good evening. Yeah I don't know like I guess. She was shit.
[00:43:33] But I was like trying to figure out how much is left in this movie because it was the scene where he goes to the house before he's going to the balcony and all that. And I'm like okay so we've got like I don't know 15-20 minutes left
[00:43:47] and I look at it's like 8-10 minutes what the hell. How are we gonna wrap this up in 10 minutes? Pacing is a lot different back then. It was really weird. So I really liked it though because it was like it was like a lot of changes
[00:44:03] where it's a conspiracy theory of am I making this up I know what happened but nobody believes me and all this weird paranoia sort of thing and then the other problem I had with it criminal under use of James Mason oh my gosh she's only in three scenes.
[00:44:21] Yes I agree. You don't get the man in Hollywood who has the sexiest voice and only be in your movie for three scenes. It's true I really do have the sexiest voice. Nope. James Mason. I wasn't even close to James. I was in Salem's lot.
[00:44:40] You're right this is bad. It has to be deeper. It has to be like anyway. It has to want people to listen to it not repulsome. Oh that's true. Overall good movie. He's great. So something else I was watching that I was referencing earlier The Good Place again
[00:45:04] Good Place is great. I got season one on DVD I rented it from the library because they wanted to see the extended edition Heck yeah. There's only like two extra scenes per episode and it's just like little little things that they cut out just for time.
[00:45:20] I used to have all the friends on DVD and they would have extended episodes and when I got it on Blu-ray I just got rid of all my DVDs because they looked way better but then they cut it back the aired episodes
[00:45:32] I'm like oh man I'm missing some jokes but it's worth the trade off because it comes in like a really nice book. It does have audio commentary from Mike Schur one of the other executive producers and two of the cast members on the first two episodes
[00:45:48] in the last two episodes this season and so I'm on the wait list to get season two Cool. Nice. So something else that I'm really sad James isn't here to talk about with me I went to Ghibli Fest and I saw Princess Mononoke
[00:46:04] Nice. And I had seen it before but it had been a while and I think I watched it on my phone so seeing it on the big screen was incredible and... The animation in those films is breathtaking. It's such a good movie and really
[00:46:24] I really wish James was here because I know he would probably want to fight me on this I've said before on here that Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite Miyazaki movie that I've seen and I've only seen like six of them but...
[00:46:38] I think I'm gonna have to change it to Princess Mononoke because I rewatched both because after I got out of Princess Mononoke I'm like I would be proud of me. I bought it on Blu-ray Yes. Six Blu-rays I own I am very proud of you
[00:46:56] and then I also what I was buying it on Amazon it popped up like here you can also buy Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away and I was like I'll own Howl's Moving Castle I haven't seen Spirited Away in a while
[00:47:12] so I was like all the off on that one but I got them both It's still such a great movie and I still love it a ton. I think honestly I watched it in the Japanese with the English subtitles and I think that the English voice actors
[00:47:28] actually do a better job than the Japanese ones Well I will say this about the Miyazaki films is they get really great actors I mean, I've only seen a few of them obviously the Wind Rises for Emily Blunt but also I mean
[00:47:42] I ordered it and I still sing on my thing and I'm like, I don't know why because it's like pigs and trench coats Yeah, I don't know it looks funny to me and it's Michael Keaton so Yeah, and I think that is maybe one of the things
[00:47:54] about Princess Mononoke that I feel could have been a little bit better because some of the voice actors are kind of Billy Bob Thornton is the one that really stands out to me I don't think he does I mean he's okay
[00:48:08] he doesn't do bad but I just like I think anybody else in that role probably could have done better I think many driver actually does a great job She is a really good voice over actress anyways, she does a lot
[00:48:19] Yeah, I don't and then Claire Danes is pretty good I don't remember who does Ashitaka but whoever he is he's kind of like flat at the beginning of the movie and I was like really like oh come on we better go find the fire demon
[00:48:31] or whatever he says but then as the movie went on it got better or I got more used to it or something but yeah I think the the voice cast for House Moving Castle I'm getting them confused House Moving Castle is great
[00:48:47] because when I watched it in the Japanese version I missed her name is Jean Simmons she's a woman she's the one who does the voice for Old Sophie you guys have seen House Moving Castle right? Yeah, that has been a while She does the voice for Old Sophie
[00:49:05] and she just steals the show for me I think that's one of the reasons I love it so much I just want to say stuff like you know when you get old all you want to do is sit and look at the scenery it's like you are old
[00:49:15] like anyway it's yeah it's great and I think Christian Bale does a fantastic job he's a great actor Howl because when I watched it in the Japanese I was like eww it's okay and of course that's the role where we got the Batman voice
[00:49:33] you guys remember the scene where she finds him and he's like the big bird and he's like the little cave in the castle and he's like what are you here yeah I'm so excited I can't do the Batman voice I guess that is where you got it
[00:49:49] that's strange like I said I haven't seen House Moving Castle in a long time so I don't know blurry Chris I got a great idea how does this sound for Batman that's maybe your most oppressive it's a little bit more I'm also very tired guys yeah but anyway
[00:50:11] James when you listen to this here's my reasoning on why I would probably put Princess Mononoke as my favorite Miyazaki movie over House Moving Castle now is twofold one rewatching the animation on Blu-ray I can see frames where people are far away they're like not drawn very well
[00:50:36] because they're like they're tiny all you see is their eyes it's very strange it wouldn't be so bad except they linger on the shot too long that's all you see weird little faces or something we're gively ones that they remastered when Shout took them over yeah well they
[00:51:00] no because they just took the Disney ones and they're remastered but I'm just gonna leave it to you it's a great action with like another new like one special feature I guess that's true Disney does a good job of keeping that stuff unlocked okay
[00:51:18] but then I mean really it comes down to I like the story for House Moving Castle better like that's like the kind of story I like from a book. There are a lot of things that would probably be explained in the book that
[00:51:34] they don't really explain in the movie and like you maybe kind of get hints but unless you look it up of like well why does Sophie keep you know she looks old sometimes and
[00:51:43] young other times and you know what's up with time traveling and there's a lot of like weird things going on and they don't explain it all and you know I don't want to be spoon-fed everything but I would at least yeah some little hints of why is yeah
[00:51:59] why is this this or so James can come and fight me but fight fight fight fight fight I think I'm gonna change it I think Princess Mononoke is my favorite it's all right or they're tied whatever I don't care whatever mood you're in
[00:52:14] whatever mood I'm in perfect but both are great movies and you should go absolutely I also went and saw Mama Mia to here we go again you know what song just couldn't let it go could you know what song of theirs gets stuck in my head
[00:52:30] all the time is Fernando really yeah that's a good one that is in the movie is it really yeah I like take a chance on me because I remember from the Get Smart movie was yeah walking down the street with it I
[00:52:44] think that's not I think you can say that about almost any Abba song that you get stuck in your head oh yeah I had super trooper stuck in my head for like a full day I think it was like I woke up the next morning I was like
[00:52:59] how is here we go again what how did they handle the whole Meryl Streep boom boom boom boom she did oh gotta kill me off street I do love Lily Collins though she's James there we go she does a great job honestly the
[00:53:14] better parts of the movie or when she's in it because she's awesome and then she's great pride prejudice and zombies and then share is Meryl Streep's mother correct how does this work need to know she gave birth to Meryl Streep at some
[00:53:27] point I want to see that I question the you sounded so sincere with that I want to see that I'm your daughter if I could turn back time pilot I mean I liked it better than the first one a little bit it's still
[00:53:54] pretty much in the same vein so it's like if you saw the first one you hated it you'll probably hate the second one but you have like a kind of like passing indifference toward it you'll probably have a passing in different it's a jukebox
[00:54:07] musical like it's not meant to like elevate you up and above really no I mean it's it I think is it fun I the first half is maybe like kind of like okay
[00:54:20] let's just kind of move this along but I think the second half is a lot better and the final number is like awesome I was just like smiling all the energy and I did they trick me to making this movie just the different
[00:54:35] like interactions with the characters even though they're not saying anything to each other they're singing the song but it's just it's very funny cool I think they kind of learn their lesson on some of like who should sing who shouldn't
[00:54:47] sing because Pierce Brosnan doesn't really sing in this movie or if he does he's singing like with everybody else Amanda Seafreed and Lily James do the majority of the singing they both can sing really well share sings one song by
[00:55:04] herself because that's all they could afford probably yeah and I think so some of the like the stellar skateboard thing no none of the dads like saying except in a group thing on song will kind of thing I want them to start a bar and a
[00:55:23] only song in it that wasn't a happy song it was summer lovin you had a blast I just picture all the old guys just going but I think it still kind of has the same heart in it that the first one did kind of like the mother daughter
[00:55:43] relationship and even though Meryl Streep's character is dead isn't she in the movie though Meryl Streep they show her die I so think she was doing like a cliff dive and it's like Fernando and just she forgot to time the tide
[00:55:59] correctly slow motion that's why I'm not allowed to have movies slow motion like when Hans Gruber falls off and I tell me Plaza okay in this scene mystery we're gonna have you cliff dive to your death grabbing for something in the air
[00:56:16] it's there's some good parts to it but overall kind of if I had movie pass a private movie I use movie pass for if I had millions of dollars I'd remake mom of me a to the wave Ryan and I wanted to it with Meryl
[00:56:32] Streep dying so you want a new Friday movie I want this for some reason cool right on okay I think I'm good that's it Zack a couple things on what documentary you watch this week none but real quick though next
[00:56:50] Clint Eastward articles gonna be coming up later in the week I tackle four films in it the one I wanted to talk about though on the show was the Iger sanction which is a Clint Eastwood mountain climbing movie from the 70s and
[00:57:08] it's one of the earliest films he directed I love cliffhanger yeah but so this film you know up on a mountain climbing and there's like these terrors or something you know and at the beginning of the movie I try to save my
[00:57:26] wise you know when she falls off the cliff shut up slide but no so this film seems to think it's a mixture between that episode of the Simpsons where Homer climbs the tallest I know that movie mixed with a James Bond movie so in the
[00:57:43] movie sold me in the movie Clint Eastwood is a professional assassin who's now retired and is a professor who refuses the sexual advances of his students by the way guys because he don't play that way mmm but he still will smack her
[00:57:56] ass and tell her to get out of there and study anyway like literally smack her ass yes there's a bit like smack her ass like get in study whap no it there's a there's a full-on insert shot of her him her him going smack and go and get
[00:58:10] to study but uh now I want to see this movie anymore he yeah trust me it gets worse he's pulled out of retirement for this shadow government organization to take out a group of people who murdered his friend in
[00:58:28] European country I think it was Berlin or something sure but it's not it's not important because so and he gets roped into this partially because he meets a young young African-American woman on the street and takes her out on a date
[00:58:43] and then they go back to his house and make love but the whole time Clint Eastwood can't help but observe that he's about to have sex with them with an African-American woman and it gets awkward fast like it's it's incredibly
[00:58:55] dated and I love black exploitation movies but this one just felt weird watching it that that week for some reason and then though it goes into more fun territory because we get George Kennedy from cool hand Luke playing his friend
[00:59:10] make a gun playing his friend who trains him to get him back into shape to climb the mountain because he's had history with climbing mountains guys so he trains and he gets motivation from a female trainer who said who basically
[00:59:24] flashes him while she's up on a high cliff so that he has the motivation to climb up the cliff so you can see the boobs up close again this is the 70s and this was Clinton the 70s so he gets trained for this big mountain climbing
[00:59:37] expedition up Mount Iger which is basically like one of the higher peaks in that Swiss Alps area and then overtime like he slowly figures out who the killer who the killer probably isn't that he has to take that he has to
[00:59:56] take out and then the twist is I don't actually want to spoil it because I think you might enjoy watching this film despite all the bad things I'm saying about it because George Kennedy is fun to watch in it too I like George
[01:00:06] Kennedy but and Clint's good too and the one admirable thing that I love about this film outside of how who he cast and everyone doing a great job is the mountain climbing scenes are beautifully shot this is kind of like this is the
[01:00:21] 70s so it's not like necessarily like the safest thing to do like the precautions probably weren't up to what they are today if say Nolan wanted to go do it for inception so it's pretty interesting like if he had an IMAX
[01:00:34] camera sure I'm sure you would have shot those sequences in IMAX no different than what he did with Sully so but yeah I got sanctioned I'll go a little more in my review and be a little bit more taxful about how I discuss
[01:00:46] this but like yes this movie is incredibly out of date and tone deaf but it's worth watching if you sometimes the charm of them over outweighs that stuff see you normally they do that's why dirty Harry still works in my
[01:00:58] mind but this one has a tougher time than dirty Harry does so but anyway you can check out review of that and also in the line of fire like that movie I do too and then also there'll be the recent reviews of Sully and 1517 to Paris yeah
[01:01:16] that's an interesting part of the article but I'll send it to you when it's done on the regular watching front after we were done on recording last week though I rewatched Halloween on Blu-ray because I wanted to and I still
[01:01:30] love that movie it's amazing it's wonderful Donald Pleasons is a genius and John Carpenter is a genius Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing and a genius afraid it was matter of fact it was but yeah and actually I liked watching it kind of
[01:01:46] like with I tried it with the mono track and not just the true HD one and I actually liked it because it kind of reminded me of how I used to listen
[01:01:53] to it on like this Magnavox tube TV that I had when I had to put it in the DVD player because it didn't have any stereo or anything so it was always on that singular mono track it was before they remastered in HD so it was pretty
[01:02:06] cool and so I kind of got into a John Carpenter kick after that and part of this was also motivated by the fact that I had an issue ordering my in the mouth of madness Blu-ray because Amazon I had a preorder on it and then
[01:02:20] Amazon said it was out of stock and I was like well that sucks then I'll just get it off a shout or something cuz I'm not gonna wait and then they brought it back up and charge 34 bucks for it and they said well I'm definitely
[01:02:29] not gonna do it and then like a couple days went by and they dropped it down to 21 which I was like okay now that now we understand each other Amazon so but I rewatch Prince of Darkness instead while I was waiting for this and I love
[01:02:42] that movie I put it on my 87 film explosion list I might have put it higher if I had rewatched it right before that list because I actually enjoy how intelligent that film attempts to be in places because it's at the
[01:02:59] end of the day you're trying to mix quantum physics and with the quantum like the quantum you're trying to mix science with religion and it's hard like in a horror film because you really want to focus on the thing that
[01:03:10] would like scare you out of your pants but there's intelligent discussions about how science and religions somewhat collide via math mathematics and just the way everything plays out in that film and Donald Pleasance is really
[01:03:25] gonna Victor Wong from Big Treble Little China's in it too and he's amazing also Dennis Dunn who plays Zhang from Big Treble but yeah it's a fun film and Alice Cooper plays a homeless zombie in it that it's under
[01:03:40] control by the devil or the devil's avatar precursor whatnot if but it's a very interesting film so then I also rewatched the fog which is an early screen factory one I had more appreciation for that film rewatching it
[01:03:57] than I did like I always loved it but like I really really liked it this time yeah I'm not a big fan it anything like the mist no no no this is about killer
[01:04:08] pirates and fog that come to shore to kill people the reason why I think I appreciated it more this time around is because it got to something that I was trying to think of it still existed which is like a cheesy yet still
[01:04:20] effective ghost story and I think that's what that film ends up being like that John Hausman thing at the beginning where he's like five minutes to midnight five minutes to 12 time for one more story and he just then he tells the
[01:04:32] story of Antonio Bay and I love the way it's shot I love the way it starts off with that stopwatch and then he or the the timepiece and then closes it and then he starts telling the story to the kids and then it lifts up
[01:04:46] into that over the hill shot of Antonio Bay and it's blue and black and then you get the credit I it did it worked for me I turned off the lights everywhere and in where we're recording right now and watched it was awesome and then I
[01:05:01] rewatched Christine which I had not seen since high school and first of all the the Blu-ray they're putting out right now at Best Buy it's only 10 bucks it's the same version as the Twilight Time release because it's the same restoration
[01:05:19] and the same special features so if you didn't get that Twilight Time version it's pretty much just there it just doesn't have the Twilight Time label on it so but anyway I'm rewatching Christine it's definitely not the best
[01:05:33] carpenter movie by any stretch of the imagination if you don't know the story it's a Stephen King story about a killer car and how it also drives the owner mad or turn to drive now I was always afraid to drive now I feel more
[01:05:48] compelled to do it because maybe I'll fall in love with my car like Keith like Keith Gordon does yes yeah it because if you don't know the car also turns Keith Gordon into an incredible jerk a terrible person it's a really
[01:06:00] weird movie yeah I will say though it it's not so much a great horror movie
[01:06:05] because it is just a fun like concept and seeing how it's executed because like the way they do the restoration of the car when he like when then the car fixes itself is really cool because it's that practical effects and they use like hydraulics to kind of reshape it and whatnot and there's a special feature on the disc that talks about that and it was actually a pickup because they weren't actually going to show it initially but then John Carpenter was like no we should probably get that then they redid it
[01:06:33] and also just the way they in a lot of shots the Christine the hunting down people thing works but in others it doesn't because then it looks clearly like they had to black out the windows to show that no one's driving that car
[01:06:47] but you know I like it enough but it's not I think there's a reason I haven't rewatched it in as long a time as I have so but no reason to not go check it out it's only 10 bucks at Best Buy so you can't go wrong there for a while
[01:07:03] and then you can't go wrong there for a really nice transfer I'll wait till herbie gets murderous comes out oh my god me me can universal like sub license the rights to herbie herbie deadly loaded
[01:07:21] yeah I think that's all I watched this week all right buckle up bonehead you're going for a ride I've I've been missing for a little army of darkness I've been missing for a little bit
[01:07:31] get it you like Campbell I did watch a documentary a couple weeks ago called the Helen back it's the Kane Hatter story oh Kane Hatter plays Jason in four films he's also he's basically a horror icon great stunt guy
[01:07:43] and it talks about his journey through Hollywood and how he really wanted to be a Hollywood stunt man and his near-death experience for being doing a stunt where he got lit on fire
[01:07:55] they actually show footage from that it's pretty bad you think he had third degree burns on like 50% of his body yeah and it talks with his doctor and so it's it's okay
[01:08:06] so do you want to become a stunt man now no I'm good but his passion is really cool and how much he
[01:08:15] loves what he does as kind of fun right it brought me a lot they had a lot of shots that's my problem with like the Kerry Grant documentary is it's oh here's a shot of him like looking over and over again
[01:08:29] like yeah like looking I'm looking in the distance and I'm telling a sad story it's artistic but here there is a really my favorite part of the documentary actually is when he talks about how he was bullied as a kid
[01:08:41] and how he overcame it it's a really interesting story so I you're a man so you're not allowed to cry but did you get close to breaking your man role no I did not cry
[01:08:51] I heard it was very emotional it can be yeah I didn't cry but I mean it's a great story and he tells it really well so and is Dredd Central to put it out
[01:09:03] I don't know I got it on Xfinity I think it's $4 right now okay right on yeah I'm maybe it's bloody disgusting did it I don't remember
[01:09:11] I don't remember it might be that but anyway yeah I've been meaning to pick it up I mean it's four boxes worth $4 if you're interested in you know shoot
[01:09:17] I want a blu ray of it because it'd be good for historical purposes alone to have that story yeah um I also saw Ant-Man and the Wasp which
[01:09:27] is a really fun movie I think it's a nice cleanser after Infinity War because you know after I saw Infinity War in theaters there's this weird like funk in the theater where you know everyone's dead
[01:09:39] and everyone's oh man Thanos wins even though you need kind of he was coming but it's still shocking and this one was just a fun movie it's fun seeing Paul Rudd I love Paul Rudd and he never ages and he's funny it's witchcraft and yeah Tom Cruise
[01:09:58] exactly like Tom Cruise they're all witches I keep telling you guys this yeah it's so it was a really fun movie um I think it's a little better than the first Ant-Man
[01:10:08] I don't think it's in like Marvel's best movies but it's it's a pretty fun movie and I don't think there's anything wrong with it I think it's what I think what it needs to be
[01:10:17] I like the Louise stuff in the second one even more than the first one when it's in the second one oh yeah this one was pretty great or Louise's stories I just like them they're awesome
[01:10:29] yeah I guess my only I think the stuff in the Quantum Realm was kind of a let down but I mean I think the fights were really fun
[01:10:37] the characters are fun and yeah it's a fun movie it's a run through the first Ant-Man where it's a good movie but it's not like infinity war or homecoming to me and it does end on a very positive note unless you state for the end credits
[01:10:55] which is it reminds you oh yeah it happened four months ago I got pretty hardcore there I also rewatched Game Night I really love that movie it's pretty silly this is me crying at the end of the cream
[01:11:09] it's it's pretty great so it's always fun to revisit movies that I think maybe didn't get a lot of play earlier in the year I wish they had done a 4k of it but yeah it's not necessary I don't think
[01:11:23] I watched this is a 4k that surprised me I watched Starship Troopers in 4k and it's transfers amazing you know the problem that you run into from films from 1997 that have a lot of CGI in it is that when the 4k
[01:11:38] I guess makes it brighter you can see a lot of the efficiencies in it but the movie still pretty fun it's not my favorite Bear Hoven movie but pretty close I mean because it's goofy and it's way over the top
[01:11:52] it knows exactly what it is oh yeah I mean there's no there's no hiding what that film is it's just we're fighting bugs I remember that poster all around theater lobbies when I was a kid and I don't know why I was never really interested in it
[01:12:06] but when I finally saw it when I grew up I was like this is awesome I wasn't interested in this it's an interesting film yeah I watched The Great Showman in 4k the movie is fun but until you look up the history
[01:12:20] yeah exactly well although I'm willing to let that go because I pretty much you expect them to pull that fanciful like yeah whatever yeah I the film is good I mean it's not it's not I like I love La La Landway more
[01:12:38] I don't know but I could see where it connected with audiences because I mean the songs are pretty catchy this is me is really and it's really bombastic and it's really colorful and it looks great in 4k
[01:12:53] Hugh Jackman is always amazing it's if you take it for the entertainment and you don't read history it's fun the opening two ish minutes where he's like right before he enters the tent before he goes into his backstory
[01:13:09] the way it's lit and the song they're singing and everything shot I'm like this is badass I love the way this is shot that's how you do a vaudeville movie today if you were going to do something about vaudeville that's how you do it
[01:13:20] and also the song in the bar near the end is really cool I actually like the song with him and Zac Efron trying to get Zac Efron to be part of the
[01:13:31] that's a good one yeah it's the way they shoot Hugh Jackman is just an amazing actor and an amazing dancer and he's really good at moving I mean that's why I think he's so great as Wolverine I mean he's really good at moving
[01:13:43] and it's a fun movie I mean again it's the story of P.T. Barnum in his show his greatest show I actually did go back and read you know because I was interested that the girl that he
[01:13:57] discovered she actually went on and performed a lot more shows I think she did 90 of them and he made a lot of money from that yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of flourishing yeah a lot of this film but yeah they're making a movie
[01:14:08] they did it in gags in New York too and I like that film so I watched the nostalgia critic review of the new Beauty and the Beast and he was comparing
[01:14:17] the like the numbers in greatest showman to the ones in Beauty and the Beast and he was saying how the ones in showman are like much more dynamic and the cameras moving and you've got like you know people are dancing
[01:14:27] and shit and there's acrobatics or something and then it at least in like the opening number of Beauty and the Beast you know everybody just kind of walking around and there's not like yeah a lot of slayer or Pizzazz Pizzazz Pizza Razzle Dazzle
[01:14:47] The word will come to me Words in the movie Chicago Spectacle Spectacle there you go There's not a spectacle to it Yeah I think Beauty and the Beast is way better
[01:14:58] I think it's with Disney they have a they have to walk a fine line of like we don't want to push anything too new down your throat but we also want to make it look different enough Yeah So So I'll be
[01:15:10] shouting out some of my Carrie Grants I watched Notorious which I haven't seen in a long time It's a great film and it Carrie Grant plays kind of a hustler I don't know how to best describe him I guess a cheat like he's always gambling money and
[01:15:27] I generalize it as Rapscallion Yeah and his wife and his consti thinking he's trying to kill her and to get her money because she's really wealthy and every time she thinks that something he's going to do something kind of shady
[01:15:40] it's like he didn't he says no I just bought you these gifts with all the money I went with the horse track what are you and it's really shot really cool because Hitchcock does in a really cool way
[01:15:48] where Carrie Grant you don't really trust him throughout the whole film and then at the end you're like oh it's Carrie Grant he's a good guy and I was I was watching a making of it on I think it's Warner Archives
[01:15:58] they have a making of it and they talked about how in the original story Carrie Grant's character does kill the wife at the end but they said no we can have Carrie Grant kill someone so they kind of changed the ending but they shot it really cool
[01:16:13] and basically he tries to savor from falling out of the car instead of pushing her out of the car and he's like you're nuts why would I throw you out of the car and they just drive off that's literally how it ends
[01:16:23] like North by Northwest it just ends Mr. Selvnic I think that if you see it right here you'll see that this is a great way to end it because Mr. Grant is an asshole at the end and it's something that audiences never seen I love Carrie Grant though
[01:16:39] oh yeah I just I was getting right to it charade I love charade I haven't seen it in so long it's the best not Hitchcock and I forget how much fun he is in that movie and Hepburn and him
[01:16:54] they're both when you watch them on screen you fall in love with both of them and there's some I mean the chase through the train station at top I mean it's pretty great and even because he's another one where he's kind of a shady guy
[01:17:08] like what does this dude's play and he keeps on changing his name throughout it and then you know she wants to who's she meeting at the once is official title it's like he's a dude US Embassy US official guy and like Walter Mathau is great in it
[01:17:26] that's a great little turn but I love when Audrey Hepburn wants to see like the US consulate I forget what he is he's like maybe the mint guy with money the liaison or something and she opens the door and he's sitting in there
[01:17:38] and has a goofy look on his face it's a great film it's one that's moves really quickly you know and he's also implicated in murders and that and yeah charade is awesome it's not a Hitchcock movie no it's um the director of that guy looked this up too
[01:17:56] I never remember I just remember that it reminds me of a Hitchcock movie every time I did that it's a public domain too so make sure you get the criterion version because a criterion is like a restoration of it oh so there is a criterion of it
[01:18:06] there is a criterion of it well they didn't have that at Barnes and Miller which one did you go to? the one that's like down the street here oh no no no it's an issue I need to go to I'll tell you the right one to go to
[01:18:17] it's in Littleton the Littleton Barnes and Noble has a whole like is that the one by the draft house? no so by Southwest Plaza if you go there they literally have when you go in and take a right their whole right wall is nothing but criterion
[01:18:32] so they had so I got Sullivan's Travels I haven't watched it yet but I got that one this last time and I mean they have like his girl Friday the Philadelphia story like all these great Kerry Grant stuff just the Kerry Grant stuff yeah well
[01:18:46] well no they also have stuff I mean the science of the lambs is great on I was tempted to get that one it's beautiful saving private Ryan kind of movie where you don't watch it like every day no says you but I also take chances
[01:19:01] I love sounds of lambs just hanging out in his basement a little scary I'm glad you're here right? yeah I'm a big fan of 1940 films so I will take chances on Criterions if I hear good things so right now I still need to watch my darling Clementine
[01:19:17] which is a John Ford kind of shoot out of the OK Corral and then I got Sullivan's Travels which is in the AFI as top 100 films I've never seen it don't know and so I also got like Woman of the Year this Catherine Hepburn
[01:19:31] I love Woman of the Year and so there's a lot of ones I'll take chances on for their end they have a great like if you like sound films the kid is a great criterion a lot of the Criterions still have off
[01:19:41] yeah I think for a little bit and I think till the end the week yeah I'll look it up I don't have an account the great dictator criterion is one of my favorite Criterion so that's great stuff they pull all the stops out for that one
[01:19:52] also there is one Grant film I don't know if you were going to talk about it but you did post about it Arsenic and Old Lace Criterion I'm going to get to it still my thunder I also rewatch Scream 4 again I'm going back to my wife
[01:20:05] so I don't watch things enough and Scream 4 is pretty fun I forgot how cool the opening is where it's like five different starts to the movie yeah it's pretty fun I remember walking out satisfied it's super violent I remember being as violent
[01:20:18] as it was when I watched it it's interesting cause like not in a bad way I love it but the same I don't remember if Wes's my soul to take film was before or after that one but I like that film more than other people it's not great
[01:20:29] I think it's after yeah it's not great but it's like I like that he was trying to still do new things and not fall back on franchise yeah it's kind of fun seeing those characters again I think Courtney Cox's go Weathers is great yeah
[01:20:41] David Arquette is great as Dewey Emma Roberts is really good I'm just not a big fan of the character but I still like her in it it works I watched Skyscraper which is with Dwayne Johnson how'd you like it and it is so it's a lot like Rampage
[01:20:57] where it's which I also watch this week my little boy love Rampage but where it's totally stupid but at the same time I'm really entertained by it because it's so dumb okay I get it like it's it's a movie about a super smart Skyscraper
[01:21:17] my biggest problem with it is that it took itself too seriously at times in my opinion really I never got it it took itself seriously no in terms of like how they're speaking to each other like none of them kind of like there's not really many
[01:21:29] cracked jokes in that movie that I remembered what I remember is like him really getting concerned about his kids which is great but like I don't know it didn't do the same thing Rampage did for me like Rampage felt more fun it's still a fun movie whatever
[01:21:42] I'll get it because I like The Rock so I usually watch most of his stuff and own it so do you think The Rock is trending up trending down I think he's pretty consistent actually Setti Plateau we call it the cruise mound I he's another one
[01:22:01] I don't really think he puts out bad movies I think other ones have different varying forms of quality but they're watchable they're watchable it's like the best and the worst of The Rock so I think the run-down is his best film it's a great movie
[01:22:15] it's with Sean Williams Scott it's like maybe a second film and the worst Baywatch I like Baywatch more than the Tooth Fairy maybe the Tooth Fairy I guess that's fair maybe the Tooth Fairy Doom is OK that one's like I re-watched Get Smart a couple weeks ago
[01:22:38] and I forgot how good that movie is and how good he is in that movie see I didn't see the run-down until after Get Smart but Get Smart's the movie that convinced me that this guy could do a good job yeah so I'd probably say
[01:22:49] the run-down in The Tooth Fairy I would say Scorpion King may be also a contender for down but he's not the problem that's his first movie though and it's not a bad movie either and he's not the problem with the movie the movie's the problem
[01:23:00] it's a watered-down Conan the Barbarian yeah it's alright again I yeah I'll have to really think about that now that I think about what his worst one is I smell another series of articles coming well I gotta finish my other ones I also watched Hotel Transylvania 3
[01:23:16] call it Solid as a Rock oh shit how are you giving me more stuff to do shut it down we're done Hotel Transylvania 3 which I'm a really big fan of these movies and then this one too the animation is a lot more goofy
[01:23:29] and I think the Dracula character is pretty goofy in it more cartoony much more poppy a little more like his Samurai Jack stuff yes but again these movies are pretty fun I actually laugh at them and my little guy loves it cause Dracula farts in it
[01:23:46] but there's this great there's this great scene with him where Dracula is trying to get dates and Mavis comes up to you know it's like what are you doing it's like oh I'm cleaning I'm just going around here and it's manic and it's awesome I love those movies
[01:24:00] I love the woman on the other end of the abyss is yelling to the phone like cats do you want cats I haven't seen any of them and I don't plan on it the first one's awesome I was gonna ask so I know from the trailer
[01:24:13] is that he's like falling in love with Mrs. Van Helsing or something did they get together they do they do spoilers oh come on oh I'm so surprised I didn't see a trailer for the third one so I saw it clean did they show what Van Helsing
[01:24:30] Grandpa Van Helsing looked like in the trailer or was that kind of left a secret what do you mean oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah robot-esque it's disturbing yeah well I mean Mel Brooks plays Dracula's dad Vlad and he's pretty funny in it cause he was in
[01:24:45] he was in the second one yeah and the second one's fun too I mean I think they're all pretty fun when I saw Mel Brooks his name in the credits I was the only one who applauded I was like so how does Miss Van Helsing
[01:24:55] feel about her boyfriend or whatever being a vampire well she tries to kill him at the beginning because she's been lied to by her grandfather or at least trained to think a certain way yes and then Dracula's charm wins her over and love Congress all
[01:25:09] so does she become a vampire no no cause so Mavis Dracula's daughter is married to Andy Sandberg's character who's a dude yeah so they just kind of they're just like hey yo monster I'm a regular human being let's do this yeah much it's fun like they're really fun
[01:25:26] I would recommend watching them I think they're on Netflix I think they're pretty great I have the first one on Blu-ray yeah I mean I have them on Blu-ray cause you know they might take them off Netflix probably not cause Adam Sandler is like Netflix guy
[01:25:36] but Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon's Wolf parent care yeah they're still my favorite that's fun we were drugged out and slept in the closet for three days we're pooky for next year's vacation yeah it's they're fun movies they're not gonna be toy stories or anything
[01:25:50] I just want to just kind of escape and watch goofy cartoons for like an hour and twenty minutes yeah they move yeah the drag I just watched Hal's Moving Castle again yeah they can do that too I rewatched the post that post is great
[01:26:02] if you haven't seen it make sure you check it out mission impossible fallout is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies because I watching that film I swear I kept on inching forward cause everything was just crazy and awesome and every scene set up to be bigger
[01:26:19] and you're like how can I even get better and it does like the bathroom fight oh my gosh everything about it was awesome I love that movie reloading your arms is my new favorite thing yeah um also that mustache was magical and it was worth it
[01:26:35] I don't know about that I guess my thing with the movie is it did feel like it kind of dragged on for a ways there at the end cause I mean you had so many big action pieces and then we get to like the whole helicopter chase
[01:26:51] which was awesome I mean it was good but I just if it had been shorter I think it would have packed more of a punch for me and also like come on I know I'm gonna save the world I know there's not gonna nukes not gonna go off
[01:27:04] but I don't know I think the ending that ending was kind of weird I would just kind of tie it up everything real fast the film though went on some really cool ways where Ethan Hunt was picturing the worst possible outcome of everything he's doing
[01:27:20] which I thought was awesome yeah yeah that was good and the scene too where you know they're doing the extraction and you think it's really happening and he's killing cops and that Ethan Hunt could actually be like the big bad guy this is pretty interesting
[01:27:37] my favorite moment is still when Henry Cavill's interrogating or talking to the guy they got I can't remember his name but he's the guy from Rogue Nation and he Shaw or something Shaw yeah and I didn't see Rogue Nation I just knew he was in it but anyway
[01:27:53] he's talking to him and then it's revealed he's actually talking to Peg Baldwin comes up behind gets him to fire his gun only to reveal it's blank and he's like oh you were doing so well up to now yeah now the movie is awesome
[01:28:06] it's one of my favorite movies of the year and it's one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies it's a series which keeps on going up yep good for them and I also watched Ars Nick and Old Lace which is amazing oh yeah Kerry Grant and his performance
[01:28:22] is all over the place and it's amazing and it's a super dark movie about old ladies who kill people and then bury him in the cellar yeah it's not quite slapstick what he's doing it's kind of slapstick though but I would say at the same time though
[01:28:36] like the darkness kind of for me it looms is like yeah this is oh yeah those old ladies are killing people yeah so the premise is Kerry Grant marries this lady and he takes them to see her aunts and they live across the street
[01:28:51] and he finds out that his aunts poison lonely old men because they're lonely and his brother is also a murderer and changes his face constantly and everyone keeps on saying he looks like Boris Karloff cause the play Boris Karloff was really the bad guy and so there's this
[01:29:05] really great moment and Kerry Grant keeps on running all over the place like whoo whoo like all the oh it's amazing there's a scene at the end where he's trying to get people not to go in the cellar because that's where the 12 bodies are buried
[01:29:17] and he's talking to the cops and he's running up down the stairs and everything he does is like spot on comedic wise I was even my little boy was playing while I was watching and he's like what is so funny daddy and I can't explain
[01:29:30] why it's so funny but it's just everything he does is great and it's a Frank Capra so it has a really cool feel to it and it's a cool scene where they turn off all the lights and they're moving bodies into the basement so the only light
[01:29:42] is coming from the basement so you see the like silhouettes of like shadows and it's pretty amazing and at the Barnes & Noble in Littleton I got that there so they have DVDs I hardly ever get DVDs but Kerry Grant's movies not all of them are on Blu-ray
[01:29:58] so I found two four picture sets from Turner Classic movies so Warner Brothers so eight movies and they were $9.99 each so I got both of them plus I got like another 10-20% off on them so I ended up paying like $22 for eight movies which is not bad
[01:30:17] no, not at all and the transfers are pretty good I mean there's a couple imperfections in it but I can live with it because that was just like when they restored those films initially that was all that was the technology it was up to that point
[01:30:28] with restoration stuff yeah because now it's definitely different but those like I still have the Arrow Flynn stuff and some of the old Bogart stuff and the gangster collection there those are remasters and they still look wonderful yeah I mean there's a little imperfections
[01:30:43] and they would look great on Blu-ray but they're watchable which is what you need ours is like a little light so it always feels like a demented joke to me by faith that's where that is on Blu-ray yeah it should be but also just
[01:30:55] like I love that film but I also am just like ah, only Karlov could have been yeah well I was reading that he wasn't allowed to no it was because he was still on Broadway he was still on Broadway and also like even if
[01:31:06] even if that wasn't the case I don't feel like they would have cast him anyway because yeah they didn't even get Basil Rathbone for one of his Broadway performances in the movie version like in the 40s so like it's like they really tried to just stick
[01:31:19] with their stable actors yeah it's a it's a pretty great movie and it's a different way of seeing Carrie Grant where he's still funny he's still the movie star but he's really manic in it and he's concerned because his whole family's crazy and he doesn't want to be
[01:31:34] crazy too and he's acting crazy and it's it's brilliant I'd say it's one of the earliest horror comedies oh yeah because there's some parts that are pretty dark in it I mean I mean when he's talking old Mr. Hodges who's underneath the window in like the chest yeah
[01:31:51] and so his brother Carrie Grant's brother puts a dead guy in there too but he didn't know that so his other brother thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt so he didn't know that his other brother buried the other body in the Panama Canal in the basement so he opens up
[01:32:09] the chest and he looks in and it's a different body and he's he doesn't say a word he just goes and he's like oh it's amazing it's amazing film every once you definitely check it out our second old lace is amazing yeah Warner please put that on
[01:32:24] give it to Criterion please I think that's a good it's a Capra film guy that's ripe for Criterion yeah and the last thing I watched was Robin Hood Men in Tights I love that movie too it's another one I remember growing up he's good he's good he's good
[01:32:39] unlike most Robins I can speak with an English accent he's good he's interesting name Latrine yeah we had to change it when we kissed Kavia used to be shit ass Tracy Olman's great she's wonderful yeah I I just adored that movie Tracy Olman was so huge yeah
[01:32:58] movies like that they probably can't make anymore I wish they could I don't know if people appreciate spoofs anymore I think we're I think Epic movies ruined them I think we're also too smart for it maybe not I don't know I think Mel Brooks films work generation spanning
[01:33:16] Men in Tights though is like it's fun for me to watch also because like if you watch his that shout put out a big collection of his and they have a pilot for a show he never got to do called something rotten and it was about
[01:33:30] it was about the the Robin Hood story in sitcom form and a lot of those jokes transfer into Robin Hood Men in Tights it's pretty neat yeah no it's I mean I even love the blind guy when Robin comes up to him and is like
[01:33:45] Lincoln what are you doing he's looking at he's on watch he says I'm guessing I guess nobody's coming it's funny oh no you lost your arms in battle but you grew some noise boom and you worked in blazing saddles yeah and I think Kerry Elway's is so great
[01:34:03] I wish he did more comedies because he is so spot on in his delivery and he understands it my favorite one of my favorite gags in that is a throwaway moment it's when the the Abbott is coming to marry marry the sheriff and whatnot
[01:34:20] and you just hear a guy go hey Abbott I hate that guy I hate that guy yeah it's it's pretty great makes me want to watch that movie Richard Lewis is really great in it Patrick Stewart at the end yeah he's he's King John it's good to be
[01:34:35] King Richard thank you it's good to be the king I can't do Stuart Iother don't worry gotta get I do much that the most outdated joke in that movie in my opinion is honestly when Dave Chappelle's like well gotta get pumped in these pump issues my full name
[01:34:50] is Will Scarlett O'Hara it's fine little John help I can't swim hey don't let his name fool you in real life he's pretty big it's just dumb and it's awesome yeah leave us alone Mel Brooks I even laugh it when they when they're talking to the fox
[01:35:10] to deliver the message and he says go and he's like meh meh meh meh like the noise it makes it's hilarious yeah good stuff Mel Brooks amazing amazing film too this week on Real Nerds Fox we saw Christopher Robin Karen should people go see Christopher Robin
[01:35:26] sure it goes I mean it's it's a charming movie it's adorable I think it will feel very familiar to people both in terms of the story of like the workaholic dad who just needs to rediscover like what it means to be a kid
[01:35:45] and spend time with his family but also like he's putting the poo and ticker in it and it's just oh my gosh I didn't realize how much I miss those characters until like ticker sang his song and I was like oh my gosh it's somebody's ending but
[01:36:03] yeah I mean sure go see it go see it take your kids it's a fun fun movie I mean if you see it you're not gonna hate yourself but if you don't see it you're not really missing out I think you wait till it's on Disney streaming whatever
[01:36:22] Disney 4K Zach? it's a full disclosure I ate a bag full of raw onions while watching this movie so the water streaming from my face was not me crying no I'm just getting it this movie like hit my my utter fucking core from childhood to just things I
[01:36:42] appreciate like that warm my heart are really like are stuffed into here like this is this is a very like this is a film this is a film that I can't wait to watch with my nephew when he's like one or two you know like cause it'll
[01:36:57] even three and four like it'll appeal right it'll appeal right to him and it's just everything's beautiful about it and Jim Cummings voice performance is absolutely stunning Elon McGregor is great in this film I think Mark Forrester did a really good job in telling a story
[01:37:16] that I really honestly didn't want told when I first heard about it so I'm it's one of there better not be great movies near the end of the year cause I really want this to stay on my top 10 yeah I love this film a lot
[01:37:30] to piggyback off Zach Jim Cummings to me is one of my favorite voice actors I love Darkwing Duck Darkwing Duck yeah it's Darkwing Duck is my favorite Disney like series cartoon but he then you didn't grow up with recess I'm good
[01:37:45] cause I'd rather have the terror that flaps in the night yeah that's fair but Jim Cummings and as soon as he slips into poo there's something that happens to me on like emotional level emotional level I don't know how to explain and there's a
[01:38:04] there's a scene in it where poo just gets back to the 100 acre wood and Christopher Robin comes down they sit down they talk about life and it freakin wrecked me because poo just says like the most simple things but it means so much and that's why
[01:38:22] I really love this film and I you know as simple as it doesn't a balloon make you happy and it's just it cuts it to its core and it's beautiful and I was a little apprehensive when I first saw the characters design but in this movie
[01:38:35] they're so life like and so stunning that it's any hesitation was any hesitation I had was gone when the from the moment this film started yeah here's a trailer for Christopher Robin I do like a party come on babe what should happen if you forget about me
[01:38:55] silly old bear I won't ever forget about you poo I promise not even when I'm 100 we should be working this weekend Robin but I promised my wife and daughter I'd take them away this weekend all hands on deck you won't be coming to the cottage
[01:39:10] well it can't be helped your life is happening now right in front of you what to do what to do what to do what to do indeed poo Christopher Robin no the tree I remember was in the countryside not here in London there's no opening
[01:39:27] I suppose it's where it needs to be that's a silly explanation why thank you poo why are you here oh yes I need your help I've lost all of my friends let's get to the bottom of this look up poo here I come
[01:39:43] it would appear that I am stuck have you just eaten honey I have not just eaten honey I wonder which way I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I have been do you that's the way I do it hello are you all
[01:39:57] Christopher Robin it's you playing again let's go see if we don't find biglet I've already stayed far too long hello everyone so how are you I'm fine everyone Christopher Robin so nice to see you all again why thank you silly old bear I was wrong about work
[01:40:15] I was wrong about everything and I've got to get back to my family farewell Christopher Robin I would have liked it to go on for a while longer perhaps it's our turn to save Christopher you must be madeline wait you're the bear of my father's trorings yes
[01:40:36] do you know where he is I do let's bounce I eat you some of the most big pustries in pustry look at him a tiger eel piglet if anyone wants to clap now is the time to do it oh bother oh that's fair dad
[01:40:58] I don't remember being cheery people say nothing is impossible but I do nothing every day no ooh that's not ah never mind here's so I really did not want this film to happen when it first got announced because I was like no please don't do that
[01:41:26] like I don't know why but I have a feeling you'll never do it right but when they announced Mark Forrester I was like this this is going to feel dark and grim like a Terence Malick movie about children or childhood and sure enough the visual palette
[01:41:42] reminds me a lot of a Malick film but it's so beautifully handled the 100 acre wood looks amazing in this film yeah it's I wasn't sold on until I saw the first trailer and then I saw the first trailer and I was sold on it and yeah it's grim
[01:41:58] and kind of really the tone visually is really bland until Christopher Robbins starts understanding what he's been missing in his life and it starts lightening up like the flowers start popping I noticed that right away and I think it is supposed to be
[01:42:15] that's why I think the red balloon stood out so much yeah and when I was watching the credits some company was in charge of the red balloon that's all they did it's literally called the red balloon special effect wow and it's amazing wait that was an effect
[01:42:30] didn't even have a real red balloon that's kind of sad but what's interesting is since we're in spoiler territory the trailer does a good job of kind of setting up what the story is but the way it paces itself is not necessarily what the trailer is kind of
[01:42:48] putting out there to a degree yeah and the tragedy of Christopher Robbins being in World War II and things like that is really interesting well I think that's hard to put in the trailer I think my only complaint about the film
[01:43:01] is I didn't like the villain at Winslow he was a little too over the top for me yeah whatever yeah and then and Hayley Atwell didn't really have anything to do other than be freaked out by talking stuff yeah and that part was fun
[01:43:17] but leading up to that you're saying oh she doesn't like her husband and I guess to the only reason he's there is because he's trying to be selfless and make sure no one loses their job so thus giving him there's so much to love about Christopher Robbins
[01:43:33] even when he's not the most fun character in the movie yeah which is one of the reasons why I love this film is because it doesn't I feel like when you try to do the I'm gonna call it the hook story
[01:43:44] which is bring these characters back years later there's always a tendency to make them very unlikable but I feel like Ewan McGregor is incredibly likable even when he has to say rough things but what I loved about this film I'm not a fan of hook at all
[01:44:00] but what I loved about this film is who went out and looked for him because he lost all his friends and it was so simple and he really didn't lose them but it's it's Christopher Robbins trying to reconnect and he lost who he was
[01:44:16] I mean I even like teared up at the scene where you know Christopher Robbins comes home he doesn't want to play Jin Rummy so he runs across the street and he lays down and who's laying on the bench too and there's something beautiful about that
[01:44:28] I don't know, I can't describe it but they both sit up yeah exactly exactly and it's just wonderful and it's cool too because they weren't like figments of his imagination these characters are real and they are magical but that's why I love the kind of Disney's rediscovering
[01:44:48] is the magic of Disney which I think has been missing for a little bit in the early 2000s but where they're bringing back Beauty and the Beast and the toy story stuff everything in there Disney has this magic quality to them
[01:45:04] that I don't think any other studio can replicate and it's because you love the characters Saving Mr. Banks was my favorite film a few years ago because I love those characters I love the magic of what Disney brings and I thought Christopher Robbins really captured that again
[01:45:18] so I cried many times in this film but there are two specific moments that are I think some of the most effective for me in terms of my personal level but they're also very powerful moments like first is when after Christopher Robbins grown up
[01:45:34] we cut back to Poo and his daily routine in the gloomy Hunter Acrewood and sure enough it's a straight up homage to the first moment we interact with when he the Poo in animated form in Disney history that then
[01:45:50] can technically kicks into what the story is going to be and I loved watching the up-down extra the stoutness exercise which is something my mom would sing to me so it hit me hard and it's cute that he's wearing the same get up
[01:46:04] you know it looks more life like obviously but there's a little call backs that it's just the movie is really good but the second moment and it's a little bit more into the journey and I think that's what the first moment
[01:46:20] when Christopher Robbins has gone back into the Hunter Acrewood and he talks about letting people go for his job and Poo asks a question that did you let me go did you let me go oh my god I fucking lost it and the person who was sitting
[01:46:40] two seats next to me must have been angry as fuck that I was blubbering like an idiot Christopher Robbins says those paper those papers in my briefcase the most important thing in the world to me and Poo just asked him straight up
[01:46:52] says is it more important than your daughter whoa and he, the character of Christopher Robbins needed Winnie the Pooh to tell him that it's not important what you think is important that's not what's important in your life and it's your friends and it's your family
[01:47:08] and it's a really wonderful moment and like I said I'm gonna put him on that log after he has it out with Winnie the Pooh because you know Winnie is just Winnie the Pooh he's trying to be look at the right side of things
[01:47:26] and yeah that moment just got me also like all the other characters in the Hunter Acrewood are wonderful here like Tigger's great Brad Garrett as E. Or is awesome I love that thanks for kidnapping me as a wonderfully hilarious line he seemed like so much more depressed
[01:47:46] than he was in the anime he's like borderline suicidal like oh whatever I guess I'm just gonna die doesn't matter going off the cliff oh here comes the waterfall and then the water falls only one of my favorite like you and the craig are always like
[01:48:02] yeah I forgot I grew up my man Peter Caldy was rabbit he was a good rabbit too I didn't realize that until after like the credits started cause it's like one of the things I recognized the voice
[01:48:16] and the whole time I go where do I know that voice from then I saw oh Peter Capalbra also in pettington one and two so he's just dealing in the bear movies guys but uh and then I had I almost had an issue with this film
[01:48:32] until I didn't give a crap about it but Tigger's song is technically shoehorned in but I don't care like it it felt weird to me maybe I need to rewatch it but it felt like I think so cause he's just introducing himself to the daughter
[01:48:46] and Tigger always sings a song when he introduces himself to people but like I said it doesn't matter cause I just wanted to hear that song again too so it served me just fine um and also I love the reveal too where they're trying to find his daughter
[01:49:02] and um his wife is saying so you're telling me that these animals talk and she's replaying his stories he says yes and then they literally just hit the windshield that's great I think the problem I had with it and I love you and McGregor
[01:49:16] I think we spend too much time with him being annoyed with too yeah and that was something that really bugged me is that he hasn't seen poo in what 30 years or something and he doesn't even like oh my gosh maybe like a little bit
[01:49:34] he's like oh my gosh you're here you're real but then he goes straight into just being annoyed yeah he's like what are you doing here like you're interrupting my life I've got other stuff to do it feels natural in the sense that to me that
[01:49:46] he hasn't seen that world for 30 years and haven't really thought about it of course it's gonna kind of hit you like a ton of bricks I don't know I get what you're saying accepting of it you're real embracing more I agree I agree
[01:50:04] like we see other characters later in the movie are like that was a cocky donkey like the donkey staring at me when the cop and the taxi driver has pretty great you saw it too I didn't see it I don't know what you're talking about
[01:50:18] but yeah I think the best parts of the movie were seeing the characters in The Hundred Acre Wood yeah and seeing what Christopher Robin means to them and that whole speech by poo of you because you were the one who always came
[01:50:32] anytime something happened you were the one who got us out of our troubles and it was just there were really good poignant moments but I was annoyed I'm like okay I don't need the workaholic dad I want to spend time with poo cause he even says
[01:50:48] when he asked me what are you doing here you just show up in Sussex he says I guess I'm where I'm needed like oh it's adorable and I like the way they incorporated some A.A. Milne and animated Disney stories into the plot itself
[01:51:04] walking through the fog was a good one for me because it was a great way to get them on a catch up moment emotionally but also it's one of those like classic animated like stories for them and the Half-Womb Trap which is more of homage to the
[01:51:20] the books or maybe the more recent film I haven't seen the most recent Winnie the Pooh release the animated film that they did like oh that one's great Winnie the Pooh although how much of it rain that it went from
[01:51:34] he rose to the top of like an 8 foot ditch it's an imaginary forest anything can happen man the lighting changes very suddenly it's magical but anyway I love this film it was hilarious to see like grown men and women holding all the animals in the various scenes especially
[01:51:56] they're at the end when they're all like full of yep these are my scene partners speaking of McGregor's great acting against CGI character well he should be after that time Star Wars trilogy it takes some believability and he's pulled it off really well he's a great actor
[01:52:16] it's a great mashup trailer where they show instead of Winnie the Pooh it's General Grievous and he just goes like Pooh General Kenobi next week on the Real Nerds podcast we're seeing The Meg what else is coming out next week Black Clansman
[01:52:36] you don't want to see that one I do want to see it but I'd rather see The Meg I'd rather see Jason Statham fight a huge ass shark I want to see Denzel Washington's son I hit the name's awful I think it originally was called
[01:52:52] Megalodon and then they changed it to The Meg if I remember it and it's Steven Summers right no it's John Turltup so National Treasure Guy gotta get the Constitution I'm gonna steal that shark I think it looks fun there's another movie that's coming out too
[01:53:08] you can always do it with a double feature no Black Clansman might not be the most fun discussion compared to The Meg Black Clansman because the trailer is interesting to me and Adam Driver's in it and Adam Driver's in it and apparently an emotionally wrecked
