Welcome to the real study with your hosts, Mr. Snittbitts.
I was pleasant, I surprised.
Black girl Marvel.
I cried, I think that was hilarious.
Tyler the filmmaker.
It's like so much stuff.
Nowadays it's, you know, you got A-shot, B-shot.
All the movie things.
There's some great like wide shots in this.
You need to be.
And each other they just kind of look like they were having fun
and doing their own thing.
Produced by I-ina.
And the real study movie voice guy.
But this was the first time where I got to see it like told in a way where I was like, oh man.
Let's go to the post-of-wall.
Hello and welcome to the real study I am Mr. Snibbitts.
No black roll Marvel this evening.
She will be joining us again next week.
But with me tonight we do have Janine D'Bean and all the movie things.
And we are going to do some romantic films.
The classic Roman holiday written by Dalton Trumbo.
Academy Award winning Audrey Hepburn in her first film.
As well as a river Phoenix hidden gym that I and I think all the movie things had never heard of before this week dog fight and will of course get into those here in a few minutes.
Before that we want to move over the main wall and talk about social media but first I want to say hi how you guys doing how was your last week and guys doing good this week.
Um yeah.
No, okay.
It is the times but hey we're here and we're here to try to entertain and talk about some great flicks.
We of course have the movies that we've watched this week outside of our to reviewed films.
But if you do not already following us please follow us on all social media you can follow us on Twitch, YouTube here, TikTok, Instagram, Blue Sky or even what is that one called Sky.
I like social is the new kind of kind of TikTok replacement if you will you can follow us there as well.
That said, we are going to get into a little bit of news.
There's a few news stories this week.
Nothing outrageous but still some interesting stuff.
So we're going to move on over and do the real news.
Now it's time for the real news.
All right. So the very first thing that we're going to talk about is the new.
I guess category that's going to be in the Oscars starting in 2027.
I believe I don't think they're starting it for next year.
And that will be stunts.
Finally get right. They will finally get.
They're just due.
And it's.
It's like stunts.
Design. I think specifically.
Right. Right.
Yeah. It's not just the action of but like how they put it together.
And the whole. The art of it. Right.
And it's. It's wild because somebody brought up a fairly interesting point.
What will this do to trying to push the envelope first?
Is this going to be people to do some pretty crazy stuff to get?
I don't know.
I don't know if it's necessary that or if it's like.
You know, I imagine like the Oscars are going to go to whoever the stunt coordinator is.
And so I imagine it's going to be more like how one element would to be considered would be like how complicated was the organization a design of of a stunt.
No, I'm like, you know, so it's like, and does it does it go to that just that movie or is it going to be a specific.
You know, part of a movie that's going to be nominated. I imagine it would be like a whole movie would probably be for best on design.
And we just add to their like total of award winners or whatever. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't know. I'm here for it. I think we've been talking about how we wish they'd have this category for the long time ago. Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's good. This is probably there are still other categories. I'm sure they can add. But hey, you know, we're making it way.
Okay. Let's see the other piece of news that I have is they finally green lit pardon me.
They finally green lit the carry TV show directed by Mike Flanagan. This is actually going to be a spin off of the movie, I believe, not the book.
I'm going to look for what I read. So that'll be really interesting. And so they are casting these these characters already, which I thought was pretty interesting.
The, like I said, Mike Flanagan is the director, but then you've got these two ladies. The girl on the left is going to be is already been cast and was cast as one of I think the antagonists in the film.
I'm trying to remember her day because I don't remember her name super well, because these are actors I have never seen before.
Yeah, they don't seem familiar. They don't, right? But I do have it if I could just get myself to pull it up quickly, it wouldn't be a problem.
Their names are
Summer H. Howell is the girl on the right? She's actually the one that they're considering for Carrie herself, and then you have see in a
Agudung is going to actually play one of the protagonists or the antagonists. So it's a pretty super young cast, which is interesting. Yeah, kind of excited to see what they're going to do with this.
High school kids that are going to look like high school kids.
Right.
And I'm hoping since it's my plan again, that means probably going to be pretty brutal. It's going to be pretty good.
Yeah, bloody, pretty gory over the top.
And he has an incredible track record. So I trust this in his hands for sure.
So yeah, we'll see, we'll see what they do with it.
The other one that are producer Hannah wanted to bring up.
Iina is that they're doing a mummy remake and that's finally been Greenlit and they actually cast.
May calma way. I said that totally wrong. I'm terrible with names.
As one of the lead characters in the mummy and she is actually Egyptian.
So we're looking forward to actually having an Egyptian person playing a character within the mummy franchise, which is really cool.
That's possible. She's in the moon night series, right?
Yeah. That sounds right. Yes.
And then of course, something was mentioned as she was not put into gladiator to they had a scene with her in it, but they cut the scene.
They kind of sidelined her a little bit in that.
So that's terrible, but hopefully this will make it.
I mean, that happens. That's not like an it's not like an unusual thing that happens.
Quite awesome. It happens to everybody. Right?
How many extras never made a discreet, right?
It's a sad sad.
Janine, you had a piece of news you wanted to bring up.
Yeah. I recently saw that they are going to remake the bodyguard.
One of brothers announced this and it's going to be the director of the Taylor Swift eras tour, like movie and the screenwriter of your number two.
So yeah, an interesting mix of things.
I guess, you know, because he can do like the concert scenes and those things.
But I don't know who the cast.
I don't know who.
I don't feel like there's anybody today who could speak to what Whitney's presence.
So I just I don't think it's necessary.
But I mean, just a little bit behind that little but making of that film was like,
hands down and getting Whitney.
Yeah, exactly.
And her himself was like, talk to all the time about how he, he wasn't even going to like do it.
He like fought to get Whitney itself.
You know, it's like, and she was super nervous because she had never really acted before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She did an amazing job.
So yeah, that's a lot of nominations.
I think it made for $400 million.
So I get the thought to want to make it.
But yes.
Yeah, the soundtracks great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not in the news.
Like one of his first.
Yeah.
Yeah.
More you know, say, Jeanine, I didn't mean to jump.
Just not just not into the idea this one.
You know.
But it could be that back to it.
Right.
If you're not into the idea, then you're going to go in skeptical.
And if they do a good job, like, oh, they redeemed this.
I mean, it's good for a new generation.
I appreciate your optimism.
I don't want to be in that way either.
But if you know, what if they get like Taylor Swift and.
I am not, I'm not a Swiftie.
I am far from a.
Yeah.
Who would, I mean, let's say, you know, singer, who would they get?
I mean, who, who honestly has the.
The shops.
I mean, someone had mentioned Beyonce, but she's also not a great actress.
Like, you know, the.
Strong actress.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, there's Taylor, like that's less, be honest.
No, she just.
Just.
I don't even know who to.
And would they even get like a actual pop star?
Really just get an actress and have the actress play a pop star?
Right.
Like, right.
Well, they could be like, they could get Sabrina Carpenter.
She acted before she did her whole thing in career.
So, you know,
but I don't see her having the like, you know,
following that that the singer had in the movie.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
This will be a tricky one.
This will be tricky.
Um, we'll see.
I'm just always, I'm just always surprised that like,
this would even be an idea like, like, like, yeah, like,
let's move forward with this.
Like,
but I mean, with Zazlove, you know, at the home,
it doesn't cost me.
Yes.
Because she has to be a single mother as well.
If they're going to do kind of the same thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, yeah.
She has to be a bit of a diva and have this attitude.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
It's not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The audience still feels like she fits the bill a little closer than anybody else right now.
But, yeah.
Right.
We'll see who they announce.
That's the most important part.
Um, it gives, it's giving me like, if they wanted to remake the sound of music and they like try to stick to it.
I'm like, why would you do that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm sure that's a little works to I would not be surprised.
That's true.
Uh, all right.
So that is the real news this week.
We are going to move on to our real roundup where we actually all three saw something we wanted to talk about this week.
Uh, Brian Warzone is the new song.
Warfare.
Warfare.
Warzone work.
Yeah.
So much.
War and all of our media that.
Warfare.
Warfare.
Both of those are colored duty titles by the way.
So that's why I'm.
Right.
Yeah.
Warzone.
What do you think?
There's modern warfare.
Warfare.
Coming to Xbox this summer.
Right.
No, it is a, um,
this is a directing team.
Um, Alex Garland who we all kind of know and love.
Civil War.
X Machina all those kind of things.
Uh, no stranger to a 24.
This is an a 24 film.
But also, um, the other director is, uh, what's it?
It's Ray Mandosa who is.
His character himself is in this film.
Um, you have an incredible cast.
Um,
and it's all.
It's all based on memory, which is like.
Kind of funny to say like.
They, they stuck strictly to the memories of everyone that was experienced this, this event.
Rather than like it based on.
Through events.
Yes, filling gaps with like, you know, fancy stuff.
Dramatic things.
More dramatic.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
So, um, which is, and it's also, it's also, it doesn't follow some kind of like film,
standard movie, things that you would kind of like, like want or like hope for like.
There's no real break for the lot of times you give the audience a little breather when there's like.
Some really intense stuff going on and then you give the audience a break.
This is, that's not happening in this film.
Like, there, it's, it's kind of like a slow burn in the beginning, but you get to see like,
though this is kind of what they deal with.
Yeah.
You know, nothing's really happening.
And then suddenly once it's on, it you, there's no, no reprieve.
There's, it's relentless.
There's no, I mean, the sound, the sound design is so good.
I do, I watched it this morning.
So God, it's morning.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Good morning.
Let's watch this.
Right.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
That'll wake you up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I don't like, I mean, nothing happens until it does.
And then it's exactly with there.
And the sound is like, like I said, plays a huge part in this movie, because they really
like, and there's really no character development, you know, because that's not really what
it's about.
Man, there's like a lot, lots of like, talk about it.
But like, it was really one of the big reasons they made this film, Ray Mendoza said was,
this was for one of his buddies that's in this name Elliott, who actually did not remember
he has no memory of any of this.
So they recreated this film, a re-, essentially, recreated this event, exactly how they all
remember it and experienced it.
So he could also remember it and experience it again.
And it's like, I mean, and the stuff that happens to him is like nuts, like, I mean, it's
very visceral.
Yeah.
Yeah, the makeup effects.
You can feel it.
I'm going to describe it as like a war movie that you can actually feel and experience.
Yeah, yeah.
It was, I mean, it was super anxiety inducing.
I don't like it.
I'm not really affected by like jump scares or anything like that really very often.
There was like one specific IED moment that happened to have a really one idea.
That thing scared the shit out of the whole.
It's me too.
Yeah.
Holy hell.
Oh my god.
Like that was intense.
I'm like, oh my god.
Yeah, it was, it was crazy.
I mean, it's some kind of argue that this is like a propaganda thing.
I didn't see it as that.
Yeah.
I think I think that's an element of like some, a lot of people assume all war films are going
to be propaganda.
So I think if you have that mindset going into this, you are we going to see it through
that lens of like, oh, this is propaganda.
They trial really hard to like not make it that.
Just stick to the experience of what is happening in this movie.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, because they don't try to like villainize, you know, because it is, it is during 2006.
This is Operation.
I was actually still in the Navy during this, but I was on short duty.
So I was like not deployed or anything, but, but still during, you know, and I rack conflict
and set and I rack and, uh, so you don't really, they don't really like, you know, like try
to villainize the, the folks that are fighting.
We don't see them too much, you know, but we kind of like, but there is a family, though,
so there's this family that kind of take over their home to do surveillance and to use
as a base of operations.
And, uh, that is really weird.
Oh, that is really weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But anyway, um, so there's an element of that, like I felt, I felt for that family that
they're taking this thing, this house over, you know, so, um, and it just shows the casual
tease of these kinds of things.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Trying to get out alive in this situation.
So, and then it was just, I mean, yeah, because it's not like a winning thing.
They're not like winning anything.
They're not like, you know, they're just getting their ass handed to them.
It's a scenario that they're going through.
Yeah.
It's just crazy experience that they had.
They're all Navy SEALs and it was just, yeah, it's nuts.
I recommend seeing it in the theater so you can experience all the things that you
And it's really short.
It is.
Yeah.
It's like a, like, they should end it now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and I imagine, I don't know how long the actual event took place, but I imagine
it was probably, probably felt like forever because it does feel that way with all that
intensity going on.
Yeah.
But it probably was like, you know, that fast down.
Maybe that fast.
So can you compare this to anything else like Black Hawk down or a metal jacket?
That's probably the closest thing is Black Hawk down because that was, but although that
is like dramatized, you know what I mean?
That is a similar scenario where they were kind of like this terrible thing happens and
they all just have to survive and get out.
But that one is more a traditional, very still much of a traditional film where they kind
of build these characters up, you know, and then gets to the main event.
And then it's about them.
So you kind of like follow these characters where this one is just about, we don't really
know anything about these guys before.
Like it opens really kind of funny though.
Like, yeah.
Was that the way it opens?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
So you get this camaraderie.
Yeah, we get more more more than any kind of individual personality thing with each guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's interesting.
I will probably watch it.
I mean, ultimately, if it's a war film, you know, being multiple generations of military,
you tend to be like, what's this one like?
Right.
Is reminding me of my dad in any way.
Yeah.
And it really affected the actors too that they went through some intense training for
it.
Like a lot of weapons training.
Yeah.
So they kind of, they all like tattoos now together from because of this experience and
everything.
So, yeah.
That's pretty.
It will affect the time.
And they all were really great too.
I mean, so.
Yeah.
That's good.
All right.
Janine, you got to see drop.
Tell us about.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think, you know, the director and most people I think they're making the comparison to Wes Craven's
Red Eye.
So, yeah, definitely.
I think that's a, that's a good film to equate this one to a woman is going out on a date.
Date with somebody she's been talking to for months.
This is finally their first date.
They're at this really fancy high rise restaurant when she starts getting these air drops telling her all of these things she needs to do.
And one of them being she needs to kill her date.
So, she's trying to figure out where these drops are coming from.
They can see her.
They know what she's doing if she tries to, you know, call for help or ask somebody.
They are in her house and they are saying that they're going to kill her son.
If she doesn't do what they ask her to do.
So, it's her kind of the whole night trying to act normal on this date because the air drop person is asking her to and telling her she doesn't, you know, bad things will happen.
And her trying to exhaust every avenue to figure out how to get out of the situation.
So, it's really tense.
It's does a lot of fun camera stuff like when she's kind of panning around the room trying to figure out like who the killer is like they kind of highlight the people that might be suspects by like shining a light on them and like darkening the rest of the space.
Oh, it's fun things like that.
Yeah, you know, some great kind of like somebody flips her over a table and the camera flips with her.
So there's a lot of fun kind of cool camera quirks and like lighting things that really just add to kind of the style of the film.
It gives it kind of a bit of a hitch-cock quality as well.
So it's really a good, if you liked the trailer and that looked interesting to you, it plays pretty straight into that.
So I definitely had a lot of fun with it.
I first designed her comparisons too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
A little bit.
Because it's like a one location kind of.
Yeah.
And yeah.
Yeah.
Like one one protagonist.
That's good to hear about like they really try to inject a lot because to me like it came off as like I don't know how interesting that
or how much I could hold my attention for a whole film.
But it sounds like they really try to inject a lot of energy.
Yes.
So they find things to fill the time with like, okay, she has to try to do this and this doesn't work and she's just trying to do this and it puts this person in danger.
Who is actually doing it?
Because they always show like all these different people on their phones.
So she doesn't know like who it could be.
And then she has to try to act normal for her date.
Right.
She can't let him leave because that's part of like she'll get in trouble with her date leaves.
And it also plays into her having a really kind of traumatic experience that she, you know, that ties into this experience.
So it's her trying to it relates to something she went through in the past.
So there's a connectivity to to a trauma that she went through.
And now she's kind of having to overcome it here in a way that she didn't, you know, in the past.
So there's that kind of aspect added in her as well.
She didn't go to therapy.
She's probably she's a therapist.
She's a therapist.
Actually, well, that makes sense.
Even therapists meet therapy.
Because it's like they, uh, it's like, um, was there any kind of metaphor you took away?
Like to me, all of a sudden, like, is it a metaphor for like relationships in general or dating today?
You know, um, I think it's more because she does.
She, she, she deals with a domestic abuse.
So I think that those are kind of the themes that they're kind of playing into.
Um, more than the kind of, I think anything else, but, uh, yeah.
Yeah, uh, dating as well.
It's like that also kind of plays into the metaphor of her kind of getting back out there and starting over and feeling like she's worthy of that, um, being with someone who didn't, you know, treat her well before.
So, uh, yeah, yeah.
I really had a lot of fun with it.
Nice.
Cool.
Two more movies for my list.
It sounds like I love it.
Uh, all right.
So I actually got to finally watch the wild robot.
And it's not because I couldn't watch this way before now.
I don't know, like, it's more that everybody told me it was a tear jerker.
Uh, well, then I will warn you, this is a tear jerker.
Oh, yeah.
And like, a little bit sobbing, like, get some tissue, sit and buckle in.
Yeah, there's a couple of moments too.
Right.
Right.
Because one time they go, um, as a parent, this movie kicked me in the teeth is the way I would like to put it.
Um, by the time you get halfway through the movie or I basically, at the end of the, even the end of the, I guess maybe the second act, the end of the second act, it is.
Oh, it's gut wrenching.
And then I'm like, wait, and there's more.
Oh crap.
Okay, where is this going to go?
Uh, beautiful animation.
Amazing voice acting work.
Like, I couldn't even tell, like, I had a look and I was like, wait, I need to pass out what he's the.
I know.
Um, Bill, nice voice.
I totally picked up like immediately.
Um, but the, the concept, the idea of this robot, figuring out how to become useful in a situation where it never could be useful is, is really, it's so simple and so brilliant.
Um, the, the characteristics of all the critters, especially the possum family is like my favorite.
Um, it's, it's cute.
It's funny.
It's over the top in little instances, but it stays grounded with all the heart that you could ever want in an animated movie.
Um, yeah, I gave this 10 out of 10.
This is going into my collection.
I hope my kids watches when they're older.
And I hope I don't ever have to feel these feelings, although I think every parent will always feel these feelings.
So I think.
If you, if you're a parent, go in prepared, um, even if you're a pet parent, I think it would be just because there's still an element of.
I don't want to say I try.
I don't want to ruin this movie by talking about it too much.
Um, because it's really just going and enjoy it.
Like I was cheering at one point like, yes,
I'm like, that's yeah.
So yeah, check out wild robed if you have not it is on max, I believe.
So you can check that out.
Um,
We should watch after son that's what I you know what saying I don't know what that is.
I think it's Paul mescal.
Movie, it was like his kind of movie that like put him on the map.
And I think they got him kind of known to American audiences.
Nice.
All right.
That being the last real recommendation or real roundup, if you will, we can move into the two movies that we are watching tonight.
And tonight's picks are from Jeanine to be and she actually picked both of these movies.
And they are romance movies.
So you can see a correlation.
She does love the romance.
This was my first time with Roman holiday. How about you, Brian?
Yeah, really.
Yeah.
So it'll be one of us on my list for a long time.
Right.
It's pretty high on my list because Dalton Trumbo really caught my attention as a writer and well, as a human, even just watching his movie.
I mean, he was a brilliant film and it goes into how he didn't get credit for this film, etc.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What he was able to calm you.
So they were like, yeah, let's do it.
That's was a time. Yeah, let's do it later on they gave it back to it.
Yeah, I mean, I think he went under a pseudonym for a while as well.
Yeah.
So pretty interesting stuff.
So what did you think, Brian? Would you think of Roman holiday?
Yeah, it was great.
I like laughed way more than I thought, you know, than I was expecting.
I mean, there's some really cute moments.
You know, just like, I mean, Audrey Hepburn is just like the like cutest.
Yeah, you know, she's just adorable.
Yeah, she's just like, I know she did a really great job.
Leah, just like the whole acting.
I'm so happy.
You know, just her acting like, you know, messed up with off this drug or whatever.
Yeah.
I'm like, mass some good stuff.
Yeah, I don't know whether it's.
Yeah.
But yeah, the whole like stair thing where she walks around the stairs.
Yeah.
It's a lot of great physical.
Yeah.
No, I know.
I was like, whoa.
Like, I like, I had a feeling he was going to do something with the bed when she was when he found her on the bed.
You know,
I just like flips her onto the.
Like, oh, like, man, like, like, they're really doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She just stayed locked in like acting like she was sleeping.
Oh, I look, I look rough.
But, um,
What is good is, what was nice to see?
Like, I see what you're like, Jenny, you mentioned last week, it was like,
you know, this movie with Gregory Peck is fun to see him kind of like.
Play against type cast in a way, you know, I mean, like, yeah, he has.
I was starting to him.
Yeah.
For once to kind of change that reputation he had.
It was written for Carrie Grant, of course.
So you can feel that.
Yeah.
And Gregory Peck said that.
Like, he said, um, you know, every role like this that I went out for,
it always felt like it was written for him first.
So I just never did it.
Yeah.
Like, Carrie Grant felt like he was going to be too old to play her love interest.
And then he would go on to play her love and just when he was even older,
that it was kind of like the major interest of her interest straight.
So right.
Like I should have did Roman Holiday.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah.
It was really awesome.
Like the whole, like, um,
because I've,
because like those like,
there's those I've been a room and they,
they do have those like structures,
those little sculptures where you stick your hand in the mouth.
Yes.
So they came up with they call those.
But, but yeah, it is kind of like,
so it's a, that was a fun little playful thing that they did.
And he got to like play that up and have a little fun with that.
Um, there are some,
there's the one thing I kind of like stuck out for me too was like,
I don't know if this would,
this kind of scenario would fly today with like this strange man,
like just like takes this woman.
He doesn't know into his place.
You know, like,
and I mean,
I don't know.
He's using her for a story.
So there's a moment as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, oh, okay, but, but yeah,
like I kept it pretty light, you know,
so Anna, you know, an older film.
So it's like,
I mean, he is a person to her in that.
No, totally.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
But, um,
yeah, it was just like,
yeah, I just had a lot of fun with it, you know,
and like very much left,
left out a lot of few times and was not exo from that.
So, yeah, glad I got to see it finally.
I'm gonna echo what Brian said.
Of course, Audrey Hepburn's cute as hell, like,
like, there's a reason she became popular after this film.
Um,
but for me, that wasn't the focus.
Um, I actually share a birthday with Audrey Hepburn.
We actually have.
I'm minds with the only friend.
Nice.
Oh, nice.
Um,
but for me, it was the Gregory Pack character watching.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out how to make this all happen and navigate the whole thing.
All while being like five grand.
That's a lot of money.
I got to really make this.
I was in a relationship with,
yeah,
with Irving.
Oh my gosh.
Possibly spilling stuff on him together.
What do you mean?
Yeah, you did it.
What are you talking about?
You did it.
And then like,
yeah,
just constantly causing this fall,
in order to drive, you know, this wedge between the conversation was so great.
And then he does it again later.
Yeah.
And it's perfect.
Just gets so frustrated.
He's like, why do you think that I'm knocking me down, dude?
What are you doing?
It was tremendous.
Even the conversation with him with a Gregory Pat character and his,
and his boss was great just watching him try to BS his way through everything.
Yeah.
And also,
I got this weird like impression that somebody watched Roman holiday and then went,
I'm going to write a story called Princess Diaries where it's the reverse story,
where a normal girl becomes a princess.
And I kind of,
it feels like if they just twisted that to make Princess Diaries possibly possibly not,
but it just helped that way.
Yeah, no, I even,
I even got theory at the end because I'm a sap and I love.
Positive things.
I mean, it's still sad.
There's a bit of sad ending to a degree, but it's still like, you know,
there's, there's some happiness there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love the lighter at the end.
Yeah.
Yeah, the heat brings that back into your glasses.
Like, oh, that's what that was.
Yeah.
Whoa, you guys.
Oh, but you're, but you're not doing anything with the story.
He gives her the pictures.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, not what I expected, but, uh, but better than you and I expected.
Janine, I know you've seen this before.
Yeah.
You're the ones who suggested it.
What are you?
Yes.
Um, and they actually had the anniversary.
I think about two years ago.
And so I got to go see it on the big screen.
It was absolutely wonderful.
Um, yeah, I just love this concept of spending a day with someone
an unexpected day with someone.
And even if you never see each other again, you'll always have that memory.
It's kind of fundamentally changed both of you in some way.
And you'll always have that.
Um, you know, when she was all kind of dropped up, but like you said, Brian,
I'm so happy.
So happy.
And then at the end, when she shakes his hand, she says that to him.
She's so happy to meet you.
Um, so, yeah, it's just so charming.
I mean, I think Greg Repack actually met his wife on this film.
He was going through it.
Oh, my God.
So he was, he was heartbroken when he met, was making this film.
And then he met a woman while making it.
And then she ended up being his wife for the rest of his life.
So, um, and I believe Audrey Hepburn also met somebody who she got engaged to on this film,
but they ultimately broke up.
So kind of a funny little fun, fair with them.
But yeah, I mean, they had great chemistry.
I love this story.
It's just so fun, it's so charming.
I love the little gang that, that they form with her and Irving and Greg Repack's character
at the end where they're kind of getting into all those hijinks.
And just like a vibe between the two of them is just so heartbreaking.
But yeah, I love just kind of the looks they give each other in that final scene,
just knowing that they're so happy to have had this experience.
So yeah, just always charm this movie.
Right, but they both know that nothing can come of it.
Like it's not.
Yes, yes.
Because he's not royalty, so they would never even allow it.
Yeah.
I do love that they never tell us what country she's from.
She's just from some unknown European.
Yeah, they were under some strict guidelines with the actual royal family.
They couldn't say that she was British royalty or related to that,
the real royal family in any way.
So they had to really keep a strict kind of separation between that.
So Monica kept coming to my mind.
I don't know why I kept just thinking she's got to be the princess of Monaco.
I, I don't know why.
But yeah.
But I even the intro of the film really does lay out like how exhausting that would have to be.
Yeah, like I would have had that same breakdown that she was having.
Yeah.
And no one's listening to her.
And they're concerned is what do we tell the royals?
Like what do we tell your parents?
Yeah.
How are you doing?
And you're just hysterical.
Yeah.
They cover her up and say she's sick instead of you know that we've lost her.
Because they did.
Yeah.
And then I love the agency that she gains after that too when she goes back and she's able to kind of tell them what she wants.
What she doesn't want back off kind of leave me alone.
I'll do this in my own time.
I'm aware of my duties.
I respect my duties.
But I'm going to do it in my own way.
I don't think she'll babysitting me like this anymore.
By saying that Rome was her favorite city she kind of did that as well.
She was like, yeah, they wanted her to be very diplomatic.
A lot of them's like, yeah, exactly.
But because of him, Rome was her favorite and she says that while she's looking at him.
I know.
This is it feels like almost the quintessential not romcom because it is a romcom in that sense, but just romance movie.
Yeah, because you get all the highlights, but it's still like not all remances work out, which is tragic.
Yeah, you get the kind of crisis of conscience as well.
Him deciding not to publish the story because he and his games with care for her.
I do love the scene when they get arrested for the whole vest.
The thing and it plays out a bit like a silent movie like we don't get any.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That was the safest of scenes where it was her and him on that thing just cutting in front of traffic and running over.
Yeah, that was crazy.
So yeah, I'm not too sure if it was her.
Yeah, the wide the wide shots and see me go.
Yeah, for sure.
Which would be the most sense, but well, then even the close-ups, I don't I think that was a rig.
I think the best thing to do a trailer.
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
The there this movie is quintessentially Italy too though, like what the best.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and I think it was the first US film filmed on location in Italy.
Oh, and I love how it says it's in its entirety.
So every single month of the film.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's interesting.
I love when movies take place in other countries and they talk about money, especially when they're talking about Lyra and this.
Yeah, I'm like, what?
Like that.
Yeah, thousands and I'm like, oh, you guys are you guys rich?
You don't look that rich.
What's going on here?
And what a tight table for poker with like a hundred.
They're like a dozen people.
Yeah, crap.
Shoulder shoulder.
It was.
Yeah, yeah, I kind of want to watch this again.
I really enjoy it.
So I'll probably make my wife watch it and be like watch this fun.
Yeah, no, and lastly,
I mean, yeah, it almost feels like it could be a fun like date idea to do with, you know,
where you just have this like, at least like that little mini adventure part where they're kind of just like doing their thing.
You don't have an make up your own like montage basically.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, or we can maybe start setting up the Roman holiday where we try to replicate what they did in the movie and you go to
Rome and do it like we'll make a package deal.
The real reason you to Rome, I'm kidding.
Yeah.
That's like kind of a neat idea though.
Locations.
We can do the cast on land.
Like tour.
And make a thing of it.
Yeah, it could be really fun.
Roman holiday would be a perfect one except it's so damn expensive to get over there now.
Yeah, yeah.
I was only there because their craft care was there.
That's why I jumped off.
Yeah, I was there.
I just happened to be on the carrier.
And yeah.
It happened.
Did you sign anything or get anything to do?
I wasn't deployed.
No.
No, no.
It actually makes I have a good friend that was in Italy.
So I'm going to have to ask him.
But like have you done the Roman holiday?
Like you and your wife.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if they liked it and have like a tour
situations that.
Oh, yeah.
You know, you know, you get to go to the spots.
Yeah.
Now I loved it.
I loved it.
It's.
Yeah.
I don't know what else to say about it.
I don't think I don't know if you guys have anything else to say about it.
But it's it's a fun movie.
If you haven't watched it, put it on your list.
It's a classic that is a must watch without a doubt.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's rate it.
And then we can talk about the other film that next to nobody's ever heard of.
Yeah.
We'll go on the same order.
Brian, I know you're drinking.
I'm sorry.
What do you rate?
Roman.
I'm going to give it a nine.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a classic.
For it is one of those things where it's like, oh, yeah, that's why it's a classic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No brainer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we always give some positives or negatives for things we liked and just Gregory Pek's voice
deserves an extra point by default.
So I'm going to rate it a nine, but I think it's a 10 just because he's got the super ungrig
repacked.
Like he's got that like, yes, number.
I love how about you, Jimmy?
Yes, a 10 all the way.
I love it.
I love Greg.
I love him playing against type.
It's just perfect.
I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My only experience with him before this was to kill a mockery.
So, right.
Please seek out his homography.
He's great.
He's great.
I am.
He's definitely he's getting he's gaining more original Cape Fear.
Really good.
Yeah.
He plays the dad.
Right.
He plays the dad.
Yes.
And then it's Robert Mitchum.
Robert Mitchum.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Perfect.
In my opinion.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And they both came out in the in the remake.
Oh, did they say?
I've seen it.
Martin Balsam, who's a Robert Richell as well.
He also he also cameos in the in the.
Oh, man.
As well.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm just going to go watch.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So long says that.
Yeah.
We and we're going to have a good laugh at old Gregory Peck's eyebrows.
Because they're like, they're like bushy and white.
White.
White.
Or dark dark black.
And it compares into his white hair.
Maybe we have to do a Cape Fear night where we do the pair of.
Yeah.
That might be interesting.
We have more movies to go for this year.
By the way, we are almost to our 300 film on the real study.
This season, we will be hitting 300 and crossing that that line.
It's wild.
But to be fair, we didn't used to do three movies at the time.
So we got there a lot faster in the back in the day.
Yeah.
All right.
So we've got a river Phoenix movie.
That.
As I mentioned earlier, I had never heard of it.
And you said this was a movie just happened to see back in the day on TV.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I miss those days of just kind of changing channels and then landing on something.
And I'm like river Phoenix.
I don't know what this is.
But I'm just going to watch it.
And then you find it to be this really interesting movie very much like Roman holiday.
It's set over the course of a day.
And it's these two people who have this kind of unexpected day together and fundamentally changed.
And all of that kind of thing.
Yeah, river Phoenix with his trying to find a ugly girl to take to this dogfight contest.
And whoever brings the ugliest date wins prize money.
So he's kind of scouring the city.
San Francisco to find the ugliest girl.
He, you know, last minute finds Lily Taylor takes her to this party.
And yeah, just a really interesting premise.
The screenwriter actually kind of experienced something like this and like the dog fight was a real thing amongst him and his friends and he said he went to it and he just thought it was the most disgusting thing.
And it really affected him.
So that's what made him want to write this film.
I love the performance from Lily Taylor.
I recently watched this kind of interview and the biggest thing with her and the director was, you know, after this whole dog fight thing happens.
And he comes back to apologize.
Why would she say yes to going out with him?
Right.
So because there was nothing in the script that really spoke to that even River Phoenix was like, why would she say yes?
Right.
Yeah.
So they kind of came to this this conclusion to have her be very kind of angry with him and she's challenging him.
And that kind of challenging nature would be kind of the reason she's going to go with him, but she's really going to be more on guard and kind of you know checking everything he says.
So I like that there's this shift that happens with the film we're kind of building up to this event and then after that happens it's really focused on the of them.
So I really love the story, love the performances, the just kind of unexpected nature of how their relationship develops how they kind of see something in each other kind of suddenly.
And yeah, I think it ends really beautifully as well.
So yeah.
What do you think, Brian?
Yep, same.
I approve of Janine's message.
Yes.
She said everything I sent her a message on this.
She wanted to say everything texted her.
Yeah, yeah, see, she gave me those lines.
Yes.
No, yeah, this, this one was like never on my radar, like never in her to it.
And yes, so it took me a minute to like figure out, okay, what is this dog fight thing?
And like what the kind of what they were kind of like trying to do with the whole thing was I can do like, okay, they're up to something, you know, it's bunch of Marines, you know, you know, those Marines.
Yeah.
I know them well, but I do like they use a lot of like some terminology in there.
You know, char head, that's kind of things.
Um, I'm sorry. Yeah, was that printed fresh?
I'm like, yeah.
Like, and the girl with no teeth is the voice of Tommy pickles. So, yes, that's right. I thought that was her too. Yeah, she had been on friends too.
I think she was on episode of friends. But anyway, so yeah, so it took me a second to be like, okay, I know they're like,
gonna have a night on the town and like,
I was in this party.
But I didn't know, yeah, it's like, oh, they're trying to find these like,
a list or a little average, like, yeah, I was like, oh, no.
Um, yeah. And then it was
super interesting to like see how this played out.
Um,
I was just like, oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You try to give her a couple of outs, you know,
but she's like super innocent and just like, oh, man, this guy's taking interest in like, yeah, I want to like,
yeah, I want to have some freedom and experience this.
And, um,
yeah, and then it's interesting like, there's this like,
power shift.
Yeah.
Afterwards, you know, where she kind of has a little more power,
you know, because she's like testing and things and like,
it's more guarded to see like, is he going to be real about this kind of thing?
So, um,
yeah, and then like, yeah, the end was, um, kind of perfect.
Like, it was, I was kind of thinking too as I'm watching it,
because I'm always like thinking that like,
I did that with, um,
Roman holiday as well,
where I was like, I was thinking about that shot as he's walking towards camera.
Yeah.
And we're like,
there's no dolly track.
So it's not like a, it's a dolly, but it wasn't like traditional dolly track.
Yeah.
There's a little shake with the camera, but it's this nice,
I mean, it's a, the location's gorgeous.
Obviously, so it's like, it just lends itself.
But we're getting all this like great scenery and he's walking.
And that was like a, you know, kind of a perfect ending.
Like, yeah, that's just made sense.
This one, it was the same, because I was like calling it too.
I was like,
go ahead, this is where it needs to end.
Like, they're just going to hug and that's it.
And just going to hold on this bug and then we'll fade to black.
And like, that's exactly what happened.
Yeah. And then like, I like that really affected me, you know,
because he had been, and it was sad to see him like tear up her address, you know, but.
Yeah, I'm out of the window and kind of just talking with his boy.
It didn't none of that meant anything because, you know, it had us invested in that relationship by then.
And we really believed that he was really committed to kind of seeing this through with her kind of thing.
But it also made sense because he kind of, I mean, he's going to be a nom.
Yeah.
He kind of has to compartmentalize this.
And, you know,
conversation was about right? Right.
That they were compartmental.
And his friend and like, how did we get like this?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Become these bulls cutters. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. And that whole like, yeah, the whole bullshit philosophy kind of like makes sense.
You know,
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that end was like, yeah, really great to see that.
And she still was just like, literally there with, you know, with open arms.
Yes. And just how he holds on to her. So tight. Yeah.
And they wanted to film a whole new ending without the director.
Like Riverhead called her and was like, oh, so you're going to be a part of this new ending.
And she's like, what new ending? They wanted it to be more like, you know, sweeping and like, you know,
This big romantic gesture kind of thing.
And we didn't want to do that. Yeah, exactly.
We've seen many movies about what happens to someone they come home.
It wasn't about that because we got to watch this PTSD. That's a whole other movie.
Yeah. We know he has that. Yeah.
They were wanting this officer and a gentleman kind of thing.
Oh, yeah. You know, which that's that yeah, that whole story is very different.
I like this. Yeah.
But, um, yeah, she didn't want to do that.
And so she ended up getting the ending that she wanted.
And River, River stood behind her. He was like, I'm not doing it.
If you're not involved, I'm not doing it.
So, yeah.
Nice.
Miss that guy. Big time.
Um, yeah, I didn't know what to think of this going in either.
I, I hated the dog fight just because I, it's just, it's just, it's just pickable.
And how, you know, you know, I love her yelling at that.
Yeah.
She, she, she comes out and slaps him and then like, she's right in the nose.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lily, Lily does such a brilliant job of playing the meek character, but with strength.
And that's not something you see very often to see both in a character.
And I love how she, she basically starts calling him out on his bullshit.
Yeah.
Talking about the bullshit.
Um, she calls him out on it, but he needs it to go to war with.
So, uh, yeah.
And I love that he, he just submits like he doesn't argue with her.
He just takes it like, yeah, you're right.
Like, okay.
Like, yeah, yeah.
Well, and I also like that she's basically trying to sand off his rough edges,
because he's just angry at everyone.
Yeah.
I think it stems from his dad and his dad's need to get rid of him, um, because he did.
He was just got rid of him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When she like curses back at him, like in the restaurant, she's horrible.
She's like, I don't know what this is all wants.
Yeah.
But he deserves that and it showed that she could stay on his level.
Yeah.
I love her channel.
Kind of like funny.
Yeah.
And then they kind of have this little laugh at the other.
They share a little laugh after that.
Yeah.
But I think that that lens to the ending where it shows that she will be there and be capable of taking care of him.
And another reason why don't need more past that moment is the movie's already laid it out for you.
Yeah.
We it's a character story.
It's literally about these two people and their and their story.
The one thing I found odd about this film was the act structure.
So like act one was pretty typical like in length and duration.
Act two seemed pretty lengthy because it was quite a bit of them getting to know each other and spending time in the city.
And act three was really short and like just a little bit of the last 15.
And like the war part.
Right.
As soon as he leaves, that's like act three.
And it's weird because they I know they shot either that on a set or like there was no indication of where they were really other than they were on like a hillside somewhere.
So it was simple quick.
It was low budget to just get it done.
Yeah.
And it would be can't like that. That's war.
So they did a good job with it.
It's just it's just weird to see such a short like wrap up third act.
But it works.
It does work for.
So.
Any other thoughts on dog fight?
Yeah, I just generally I love like Lily Taylor's approach to this character because when I watched her interview, she was talking about this taking on this character as if it was a collaboration with the character.
Like she would say I have these ideas and the character would allow my input like it was interesting how she was talking about it.
And so it was a pure like when she takes on a character, she sees it as a collaboration with the character and if they'll listen to her ideas or not.
So I really liked her going into it with that mindset.
So I think that added a lot to to how kind of sweet but strong this character was.
Yeah, but it was like she's borrowing from the character and like I don't know if it's interesting for an actor to yeah, because then she was talking about because Mary Heron then hired her to to do a movie after this.
I can't remember what movie it was to play this real life person.
And it's a really abrasive person that she was playing.
And so she was like, you know, when I took on that character, I would kind of come into come in with ideas and like they would tell me to shut up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah, she really talks about this character that she's inhabiting as like someone she's collaborating with and giving input and making it from each other as it's a separate person.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, in a sense they are.
I mean, that's what actors do want people to know is like, I'm not this person ever.
The fact that you think I am is weird.
So I like that she and her head just kind of wrap just made that to like stance.
Yeah.
Wonderful other actors do that, but they just don't tell us.
Yeah.
Because I'm sure I'm sure.
Writing other thoughts?
Um, not really nothing's really coming to mind.
It was just like, like another, you know, I'm glad I got to see both of these films and it is interesting how they.
I was curious about how they connected to because I know like not not all the movies we watch like have to have this connection, you know, but yeah, there is this whole like and Janine you alluded to it about.
It's this like sweeping kind of 24 hour or less romance that happens, you know, in both of these and very different.
Yeah, kind of some stances.
Yeah, but a day with somebody that's very unexpected that fundamentally kind of changes you even if it doesn't go beyond that day.
Yeah, yeah.
And so I just love I love the idea that these movies kind of both have that theme even if it's illustrated differently.
Yeah, no, totally. Yeah, and take place and very.
Yeah, it's so weird because like this one was in made in like okay, came at 91, but it's like set like 63 or whatever.
Yeah, and then yeah, and then Roman holiday takes place, you know, what is it?
Yeah, it's made but yeah.
But they both feel old, which is what's right.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and you were saying on the sets and the costumes for dog fight as well.
I really like hippie.
Yeah, and everybody was kind of stuffy early 60s clothing in the early part of it.
Yeah, you were going to say something else.
Yeah, so we're going to have a couple of things that are going to be done.
Oh, uh,
Jeannie was talking about how this was like shot in Seattle and that surrounding area.
So I imagine like you were talking about the like the very short Vietnam scene we got.
Was probably just.
I mean, it looks like Washington, you know, like,
Yeah,
they totally.
Not have a huge budget or anything.
No, I mean, yeah, like they don't show in the 90s.
Yeah, actually, right.
Yeah, there's no like big sweeping like establishing shot.
No of anything.
There's no like Huey's flying in none of that.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah, the Huey is like the quintessential.
Yeah, you see the Huey you're like, oh, yeah, it's a Vietnam.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's wild like that.
Yeah, it's it's an interesting movie because I mentioned this before we started the show, but it takes place.
It filmed in Washington, potentially, but it takes place in San Francisco and everything they're talking about when they're like, okay, soldiers report to treasure Island.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I know where that is.
And I know that there's a navy base there.
So this makes perfect sense that the Marines would have to report there.
And just little things like that.
That just they feel it's amazing how just one little mention of this or that can just fill in the world so simply without long diadribes explaining.
Yeah, one of the and like those things about like there's like, I mean, I think it was like the bartender talking about.
Go on a TJ. You got that tattoo or whatever in TJ, which is what we call Tijuana. Funny like I was like station in Miramar for a little bit for training, which was at the time.
I think it's still is there's a Marine Corps air station now, but that's where top gun used to be. But at that time, TJ was off limits for us when we were down there. So we want to go to TJ. Yeah.
Yeah, they do that. I blame this probably the Marines. They probably made it off. Yeah.
But like he had talked about going to TJ in the movie and everything. And that's how they like realized, you know, that he was, you know, a Marine and like, yeah, I thought his green outfit might have had something to do with that. But apparently, yeah, it does a little bit. It's not. They didn't notice, but people on the street did. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Um, I didn't, I loved the tattoos he had to like, that was like a nice detail. Yeah.
He had a little blue. And like the one for the V's, yeah. Yeah. Specifically.
So it's like, it just kind of visual cue to tell us like what actually happened. And yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. He, you could see he got hurt too. Because when we see him in the end, he is limping. Lumping him to the diner. Yeah.
So he took a pretty big piece of shrapnel to the leg. Yeah. When we see that in that little. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. The little battles team there. But yeah. Yeah. They kind of paint the whole like very shortly and quickly like established all the things in that coming home sequence.
You know, we're coming to see her. Yeah. You know, the whole like I love that like they gave him another drink and and one of the other guys is like another that one's on the house. Yeah.
You know, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they have a really good sympathy. But like thank you, but also sympathetic like what hell you must have gone through. Right.
But they did a good job because yeah, he in the streets people were like calling him baby killer. Yeah, how many babies do you kill? Like, yeah, all that's it.
So they were definitely showing that side of things. This is such an interesting time because do you really blame soldiers for the fact that they were forced to do this and in most cases drafted.
Yeah, and then you call them baby killer when you come home. I think that's a bit. It's a bit of a bridge too far. Yeah, nothing wrong with criticizing the government's choice or, you know, the army's choice, but yeah, or the military's choice.
But to blame each individual soldier. I'm glad we don't do that anymore. I think we've got a little a little too far the other. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you were a uniform. You're the best ever. And I'm like, or, or they just joined the military. And there's nothing that's good. Like I'm not not.
But it doesn't make everybody to join the military hero by default. Yeah. Some people just stay states I didn't do paperwork, which we need that. But, you know, thank you for your service is not something everybody in uniform wants to hear.
And I heard a lot of people talk about that. Like, we don't want people saying baby killer, but we also just just. Yeah, we were in cool. Okay, moving moving on.
But this film does that. It's it fills in the world quite nicely. And for romantic comedy or I guess it's not romantic comedy.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's not something you see in something that's basically about two characters, usually just see them dealing with each other and growing.
Yeah.
And even that little bit of kind of like holding out to know if like Rose is actually going to be there because the latest of like all of her, the female relatives in her family being named Rose is she going to be the Rose that's still there.
So yeah, it's wondering and then somebody does make that comment like that she's not really a looker or whatever, you know, playing into kind of how they met all all those years ago.
So and then when when she comes out, we see a turn like it goes over there.
Do we talk about Okie for just a minute?
I didn't expect that character. Like I thought he was kind of dumb at first, but then like, you know, like he's like, he was like, when they were giving the tattoos and he just kept repeating like what to get to the guy he was getting.
Yeah, exact same spot.
Yeah, I would have gotten frustrated.
Like, oops, you know, oh, yeah, screwed up your B.
Yeah, really big stinger now.
Um, I like the one last thing that I'm going to say because it's about all I have, but I do like how she asked them, how did you guys meet and they're like, we stood in line together.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not the better.
It's totally how you meet like some of my best friends from from basic training were, you know, the same last letter is me like, because they were right there in the bunk.
Yeah.
So it makes sense.
It's just funny.
Yeah.
That circumstance will bring you together rather than fate in a way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, we guys know other thoughts we can of course rate dogfight and talk about upcoming episodes.
I didn't even mention one of the episodes will have coming up, but, uh, Janine, what do you rate dogfight?
Just love this movie. Give it a 8.5.
All right. Ryan.
Yeah.
Go that.
Yeah.
Do needs that it. So it's true.
Yeah.
It's funny because it used to be Mr. Marvelight and La La that would have this like they'd say.
Right.
It's a track and for us.
You guys.
I'm going to make a shirt that says written and directed by all the movie things.
I would wear that shirt.
Yeah.
If you don't know.
You're missing out.
I'll be coming.
Right.
So two 8.5s.
I'm going to give it an eight.
I think this is a solid flick.
I did not expect a movie.
I'd never heard of to be as good as this.
And being a period piece.
I think it does an exceptional job of keeping that up.
But it really is about these two characters.
So an eight for me.
All right.
I'm going to give it an eight.
And so that is the conclusion of the movies for this evening.
But we do have a special episode coming up here in July before the release of Superman.
The James gun re telling of Superman, if you will.
We will be doing a debate of sorts.
It's going to be me versus I think everyone at this point.
I don't know if anyone else will be on the other side of this, but that's okay.
I don't have a problem with that.
But we're going to discuss the man of steel and we're going to discuss.
I think that's the reason why I'm going to discuss my hangups with it.
And then I'll get to hear why other people don't have those hangups.
And then maybe maybe they'll persuade me after seven viewings of this film to enjoy.
We'll see.
That's a lot of times to watch a movie you don't like.
But that's how much I wanted to like it.
Like that says anything.
I really want to like.
There was a firm.
Right.
And I was like, there's something here.
I can tell there's something.
And everybody keeps saying they like it.
What am I watching again?
I want to watch it.
But I can't watch it.
I get there maybe something there that wasn't there.
I've even written down things about this movie because of how much I got frustrated by it.
And it's one of the better DCU films.
That's what's so weird about it is it's definitely one of the better ones.
But I think it.
And I think it.
We could talk about aquaman and.
And.
Yeah, I think so too.
It needed a direct sequel that was.
It did.
And that's what.
Yeah, so there was something.
Yeah.
Even if you never did a Batman movie before going to BVS.
It would have worked with a sequel.
Yeah, so.
Anyway, catches obviously in July for that.
But we will be doing some other films we should be having a musical episode with hairspray and wicked.
That was at the request of Mr. Marvelite who would like to join us for those two thumbs.
He said he was thinking about him and going,
and I was like, oh, I'm going to have to go back to the first episode of the series.
Both about discrimination and both.
I was like, oh, I'm going to that that that follows.
So we'll be doing that.
We will probably be doing top gun and top gun Maverick.
As well as many other films.
We're trying to get past that 300 mark before the season.
So we do appreciate you guys being here for the real study season for episode 25.
We hope you guys have a great night and we will see you next time.
Bye guys guys.
