I got very confused.
My way isn't there supposed to be an intro to where I just started.
That is the intro.
Because like you were like you.
What's the word?
Like maybe you weren't behind on it, but just like for a minute it felt like you were.
So like I thought like I was supposed to just like just start and there wasn't supposed
to be like anything before.
So like freaking threw me off.
You mean besides the freaking intro that we usually play right before we we start.
Yeah.
First, I didn't play that.
How did that throw you off?
I don't know.
Maybe I have to.
It's been a long week, man.
OK, shut up.
All right.
What's up, bros?
I'm Jonathan and I'm Caleb and we're a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the
most detailed movie reviews out there with as little bias as possible.
Welcome to the Albrews.
This week on the podcast, we got two two items to talk about in four case spotlight and then
with through the wall, we got a brand new trailer that we want to talk about for a movie
that we are both stoked for.
And then we'll be moving on to our headliner, which will be our breakdown of pneumonia.
Yeah.
So, Caleb, what do you say we get started?
Damn, Sam is Johnny on the spot, dude.
He has straight up told me that like, yeah, like right when the notification comes on
his phone, he's like, oh, got to jump on.
Doesn't matter where he is.
Just got to jump on.
I love the dedication, Sam.
I love it.
Friggin love it.
And I see you change your profile picture, too.
If you're confused, that's Jimmy Buffett, Rose.
I OK, I had to think for a minute.
You were lost.
OK, I'm sorry.
I had to think for a minute who that was.
I'm sorry.
I'm I feel like an asshole for that.
I'm sorry.
Did you do you know who he is or not?
I know Margaritaville.
Unfortunately, that's the only song that I know.
Jimmy Buffett's.
I mean, that's fine.
That's what most people that's the only song.
OK, that's true.
Oh, yeah, we did lose a good one, Sam.
It's really sad.
We lost him.
We lost the lead singer of Smash Mouth.
Like, bro, right, dude, that freaking killed me.
Like, oh, my God, dude, I that that that day and the day after I was just listening to
nothing but Smash Mouth.
Like I almost started tearing up.
I almost started tearing up during All-Star.
No, I'll be real.
No one likes Smash Mouth that much.
Do you I do?
Dude, I love Smash Mouth.
Your version of Why Can't We Be Friends is my favorite version.
I mean, I'll give you that.
Well, you don't care about Smash Mouth.
Not really.
Wow.
I mean, it's freaking sucks that they are what's his face passed away.
But like in terms like I wasn't like freaking listening to Smash Mouth like so.
I don't know about you, but like literally, literally go back and like look at like what
I think it was more like live action, not like animated.
I feel Shrek was the only animated movie that they did music for.
But if you go back to like old movies that you loved as a child that came out like the
early 2000s, you're going to recognize the Smash Mouth song.
I guarantee it.
Like the like have you seen Big Fat Liar?
Yes.
The Frankie Muniz one.
Yeah.
Yep.
I remember that one.
The opening song is a Smash Mouth song.
Yeah.
All right.
Maybe there is something more than the Shrek song.
I mean, that's all that they'll unfortunately be remembered for.
But hey, you know, what a way to go on top.
And may he rest in peace.
Gave us an amazing, amazing song.
Amazing list of songs.
And also, you know, we're rest in peace to Jimmy Buffett.
And I apologize that I really did not know him that well.
I feel bad.
I feel like I'm like freaking going on about how much, you know, Smash Mouth meant to me.
Not saying shit about Jimmy Buffett.
Yeah, I'm I think it's like a special breed.
No, who would know who?
It's a generation thing, right?
I'd say yes, because like I like I completely understand why between the two, the Smash
Mouth singer like hits harder for you, Steve Harwell.
Yeah.
So I understand why he hit harder for you out of the two.
Jimmy Buffett hit harder for me.
But that's just because I was raised on on oldies.
OK.
And Jimmy Buffett was just kind of a staple in that time.
That's or at least for what I was raised on.
Yeah, I wasn't like I was raised on Shrek and everything, but I wasn't listening to
like the Smash Mouth style of music very often.
I was listening like old country.
Yeah, like, dude, I was listening to country until I met you.
You're welcome.
Do you know what?
Fair enough.
Yeah, dude, I used to hate country before I met Caleb.
And now to me, they were the genre writes the best love songs.
So they did.
Absolutely does.
Like the new the new stuff like now.
Absolutely the hell not.
But you can find some rare gems in the new ones.
They're very, very rare now.
They're like back in the the 60s, 70s, like those were some prime time love songs.
Have you ever heard of Dixon Dallas?
Dixon Dallas?
Yeah, Dixon Dallas.
Is that like a band?
No, he's a he's a new country singer.
I want you to look him up on Spotify whenever you get the chance next, just to listen to
some of his songs.
OK, because no, they they are.
They have no business being as so so so they're they're they're gay love country songs and
they have no business being as good as they are and as hard as they go.
I'll fully meant bro.
Is that the one from like the Instagram reels that I see every once in a while?
Oh, my gosh, dude, that that's not freaking.
It's hard, right?
Do you got to listen to his other ones?
Oh, hey.
Oh, man, I freaking love that shit, man.
Right.
So have you heard F-150?
I don't think so.
Why is my mic sticky?
OK, well, why is it sticky?
Dude beats me.
That's like that's like syrup sticky.
Hey, Jiggly John miserable.
Wait, why am I miserable?
Stacey, why am I miserable?
I mean, you're not wrong, but.
I don't think she meant to put.
Oh, OK.
I got so confused.
Dude, I was going to say Stacey's coming in like rough, like damn, like you get hit with
a roast and being called out as being miserable.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, no, man.
Yeah, if you ever get the chance like he only has like five songs out right now.
But I feel like he just like keeps coming out with them like rapidly and they're all
freaking good.
They're all bangers.
So, yeah, I'm down for that.
So freaking good.
That first one.
Yeah.
Oh, it's zero.
Oh, OK.
All right.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, that was funny.
I'm sorry, but you don't have to call it out.
I know I am, but.
Anyway, starting off with a four kit.
Yeah, four case spotlight.
We got to do our hold on.
Oh, sorry.
Jumping ahead.
Hey, it's Mike and Grant and Billy and we are the family Hollywood podcast and you are
listening to the All Bros podcast, the best movie podcast that is not us.
Yes, second best.
Yeah, yeah.
So they got don't say best.
They got some decent reviews.
If you start lying to the audience right away, they're not going to buy anything you say.
I mean, yeah, no, but they have awesome mediocre views on movies.
Yeah, they're fine.
They're fine.
So keep listening for more of that.
Damn, Mike, you were mediocre.
I mean, we had eight to choose from and I felt like that one was was easily the the
funniest like that.
Yeah, that's freaking great, man.
I love that.
Don't say best.
Don't don't lie to the audience.
Oh, it's freaking great.
Yeah, awesome mediocre.
I'll take it.
I love that.
Thank you, Sam.
I I appreciate that.
All right, starting off with four case spotlight.
Hold up.
I'm still getting the swing of things here.
It's OK, Caleb.
If it wants.
Oh, there we go.
Got it.
OK.
So first up, we're going to struggle on just a little bit.
OK, so first up, coming to Blu Ray this week, we got air, which we actually did break down
a couple of months ago.
So if you guys want to check out our view for that, be sure to spoiler alert, we really
enjoyed the movie, but definitely check our view nonetheless.
I don't know if I want to pick this up on day one.
I might wait for a sale just because it's just a bare bones Blu Ray release.
There's nothing special about it or anything.
So I'll bet you money.
It's probably going to be like twenty two ninety nine or twenty four ninety nine.
So I want to wait till it's like a below twenty bucks.
So yeah, I was just checking to see like how far back air was.
That was 18 weeks ago.
Damn.
Holy shit, right?
That's freaking insane.
Amazon took for freaking ever to get this one on physical media.
God damn, dude, right?
The hell, Amazon.
I mean, you know what?
I can't say anything, though, because I forgot to point this out a couple of weeks ago.
Remember the third Hotel Transylvania that came out like what?
Like freaking like a year or so ago on Amazon.
Yeah.
Or was it the fourth?
No, it's the fourth, right?
I forget those ones kind of clumped together.
I think it's the fourth.
But yeah, so it came out like freaking over a year ago.
They just barely put it on physical media like two weeks ago.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on with Amazon.
They're freaking like slacking or maybe they just don't give a shit about say like last
week we were talking about across the Spiderverse and that was let's see.
One, two, three, four.
That was six weeks after air.
And then Guardians of the Galaxy came out a few weeks prior and that even that one came
out after air.
Damn.
And then the same with Flash.
I feel like they've been like just kind of going through.
I feel like they've been dragging their feet with elemental.
So the reason why they have done that is because because of how bad Lightyear was like that
was such a box office disappointment.
Star did not want to have to report that for elemental.
So they tried to keep that in theaters as long as they could.
And thankfully had legs.
So it is actually considered a box office like not success, but like a box office, I
guess pass.
I guess maybe you could because like the the budget was two hundred million and it grossed
like four hundred and fifty three million.
So I guess you could count as a success a little bit, at least.
Yeah.
I mean, it's way better than the frickin Lightyear.
That's a bummer because Lightyear was really good.
It was.
Yeah, because elemental.
That's like the first movie, first Pixar movie since Lightyear, right.
To come out.
I want to say, yeah, I can't think of any others.
Yeah.
I mean, at least when it comes to Pixar, we're usually pretty good about reviewing most of
those.
Like any time we get like the biggest studio ones that we tend to like jump on are like
number one's Marvel.
But number two, I have to say is Pixar.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
And then we're pretty good about jumping on Warner Brothers movies after that.
And then like, I feel like those are the big three.
Yeah.
For us, it's usually Marvel, DC and Pixar.
Because I feel like even though we've reviewed a decent amount over the years, I feel we're
picky and choosy with our horror movies that we review.
Yeah.
Like there's a lot that we're at least like we've been interested in, but some that we've
just never gotten around to reviewing.
I think we didn't end up doing a blood and honey like we were going to.
Honestly, I'm glad that we didn't because I heard that movie was absolute dog shit.
I heard it sucked.
Like literally, I am the watch dead meat on YouTube.
I'll catch his episodes every once in a while.
OK, so he did the one for blood, the blood and honey one and him like running through
the plot while I'm basically watching the whole movie.
It sounded so freaking stupid.
Like I know, but it's like, what were you expecting?
That's fair, but it just they didn't even frickin try.
They really didn't try.
Dude, apparently there is a lot of.
I don't know how true this is, but Superman is going to be hitting the.
What's it called?
Public domain.
Yeah.
So yeah, so they're like someone pointed out.
So expect a frickin stupid ass low budget Superman horror movie to be coming out soon.
And I'm like.
I mean, you got a point.
I mean, they they frickin jumped on that shit with Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
And I think like they they did pretty good.
I know it wasn't like Superman, but I feel like we already kind of got that movie with
Brightburn.
That's fair.
And I still haven't watched that.
I need to really freak.
Yeah, that that that.
Yeah, because I remember you like right after you saw you told me that for some reason I've
slept on it.
Yeah, I think it's on HBO right now.
No shit.
OK, I think let me double check on that while you talk about air.
Yeah, I mean, I don't really have that much else to say about it.
Great movie.
If you guys haven't seen it, please check it out.
This is one of Ben Affleck's best movies that he's ever made.
I mean, totally recommend it.
But next up with 4K spotlight, we have Joyride, which I think this is universal.
I'm pretty sure.
But I didn't get a chance to see this in theaters.
I don't think Caleb did either.
Did you see it?
I did not.
I wanted to like I kept meaning to ask my sister if she wanted to go see it, but I never
got around to it.
So I definitely want to watch it, but I just don't know.
I'll probably wait for a sale price.
I think I could wait a little longer before seeing this.
But the trailers look super funny and they got decent reviews.
So I definitely want to check it out eventually.
Yeah, this one looked like it was pretty good.
So and I've been seeing some stuff about it that kind of makes me want to see it a bit
more on on TikTok.
OK.
And for those of you wondering, Brightburn is on FX now.
And so you kind of have to have a premium subscription with Hulu to watch it.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, well.
But I mean, there's an excuse for me to buy the four K.
I I would not buy it.
No, no, I. OK, Liz, I enjoyed it.
OK, like I very much enjoyed the movie.
I don't know if you would like it enough to risk a blind buy.
OK, all right.
And I rarely hear you say I rarely hear you say that, so OK.
Yeah, like it like like I said, don't get me wrong, the movie is is really well done.
I think James Gunn produced it, so take that as you will.
OK.
All right.
I think he might have directed it.
That's what I thought he did.
Let me check real quick.
No.
So yeah, James Gunn was a producer
and it looks like his brothers.
I'm assuming it's his brothers wrote the screenplay for it, but it was directed by David Yarovsky.
Who has done movies like.
So he was involved in Guardians of the Galaxy.
I don't know if he's.
Hold on, let me see.
OK, apparently he's just done a lot of like music video.
Things OK.
He did the the Guardians of the Galaxy Inferno.
Oh, that video with frickin David Hasselhoff.
Yeah.
So it doesn't look like he's had like a bunch of like horror experience.
He was but he did like help produce a decent amount of stuff.
I feel this is an unpopular opinion, but I thought that music video was stupid.
It was very funny at all.
So honestly, I think Brightburn might be the only thing that unless you've heard of night
books.
It's a Netflix thing.
A boy obsessed with scary stories in prison by an evil young witch in her contemporary
New York apartment.
OK, I don't know how he's not selling it.
He's not going to be the selling point for this for Brightburn.
OK, but Brightburn is good.
OK.
Like I said, I don't know if it's worth if it's blind by good, but it's at least check
it out once good.
Like should I see how much it is to run it on Voodoo?
I OK, like if I was paying for the blue, I was playing for the Blu Ray.
If I was paying for it for like a Blu Ray or just like the physical physical copy, like
I wouldn't pay more than. Maybe 17.
OK, I thought you're going to say 10.
No, like I would pay 10 for the movie.
OK. 15, I.
I'd probably still pay 15.
It's a rant like it's once you start getting closer to 20 that I'm like, well.
But honestly, for some I've never seen the four K of this one dip below 15, I think.
For some reason, it stays like even on Black Friday's,
I've never seen it dip that low.
And usually like you'll catch you'll catch four K movies going for like fricking ten
dollars on Black Friday.
So really shocked that I've never seen it drop that low.
Yeah, I would go anywhere below 20.
OK, I think is a pretty safe bet.
OK, cool.
Funny way of
afraiding that is how much I'd be willing to pay for it.
Oh, yeah, anyway.
I'll get back to the movie that we were actually talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, Joyride, like I said, me and Caleb have not seen it, but we both are intrigued.
All right.
So that's it for four K Spotlight moving on to through the wall.
We got our I don't know if this is the final trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's.
It could be if it is, I'm cool with it.
Because I'm fine with it, too.
Yeah, because they really have not given anything away, in my opinion.
And I'm totally OK with that.
But I mean, we're not really given anything new here.
I feel the biggest thing that I one is the ending.
But two, I like that when the secure
like the police officer is talking to Josh Hutcherson's character.
And she asked, like, Oh, have you met them yet in previous trailers?
She just says them.
But in this one, she actually like hits the frickin Showtime button.
And she goes, you know, Foxy, Bonnie, Chica and Freddie.
And she's and like, like doing like a frickin pan around of all the animatronics.
It's really cool scene.
But so you get that and then frickin the ending,
we get our first look at at Springtrap, which frickin bro.
It's not the spring trap.
I feel a lot of people know from the games
because it's not the frickin mangled Bonnie suit
because from the looks of it,
William Afton is still alive in the suit.
He's he's literally just got into a gold Bonnie suit.
I'm assuming I don't really know a lot about the Laura Five Nights at Freddy's.
So like literally.
Don't take any of my work for it.
Yeah, this is a movie that work basically going in fairly blind
to the history.
I do, too. Yeah.
It's like we're familiar with the characters.
We're familiar familiar with some of the lore.
But this is a really good way for them to just kind of like
create their own history, their own canon with it,
which I'm fine with saying,
like if you wanted to have like a like the video game canon versus movie
canon, like or whatever, like I'm usually OK with that kind of stuff
as long as it's done right and does justice to the source material.
Considering that the as far as I know, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's
does have an input in this.
I think he's like an executive producer or something.
Good. He showed.
Yeah, I agree. Should
see the fact that he's he's has a say in it.
The frickin I cannot say enough good about the frickin animatronics in this.
Those suits look incredible.
Dude, everything behind the scenes that I've seen of those, they look fantastic.
OK, I want your opinion, though.
Maybe it's just me.
She is looking a little too realistic, dude.
Like Foxy, Bonnie and Freddy,
they look fine.
Chica's looking a little too real for me.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah, there's going to be no suspending your disbelief with the frickin Chica.
Are you nightmare fuel for days late, dude?
You think like most people are just like, oh, yeah, no, Foxy is going to be the scariest.
No, I think it's Chica.
She is going to be the one that frickin everyone's going to be terrified of after this movie.
Dude, what's what's the name of the little cupcake person?
Just cupcake. It's just cupcake.
Yes, cupcake is.
Is up there, too.
Yeah, dude, seriously, like that trailer where the are the like that part of the trailer
where cupcakes like gnawing on this dude's face, I was like, oh, my gosh.
Speaking of that, how do you feel about it being rated PG-13 and not rated R?
I'm a little bummed.
I am, too. Like I can get over it because
I mean, I get I don't know.
I guess that's what they wanted to do, just to be able to appeal to a larger demographic.
But yeah, I am. I'm on.
They better be pushing.
Dude, seriously, because if like, I don't know if they would show it in this one,
but like I swear that Matthew Lillard has said that if this one's successful,
he signed on for two other ones.
So if they do like a frickin flashback of the bite of 82, I think by the baby, too,
like I want that shit to be so frickin bloody
when it gets his head.
They say that that makes me sound probably like really f'd up.
But I don't care because.
How sick would that be?
It's just like our intro to this. It's like.
Because it's like from what I'm aware of with Five Nights at Freddy's,
like Five Nights at Freddy's doesn't get like frickin nuts
until later in the in the game series. Right.
Yeah, I think like like the first one, like the first one is when it
like really starts to go like balls to the wall and saying, yeah.
So I hope that that's maybe where they're going with this.
Like kind of starting us off easy.
Got like walking that line between PG-13 and R and then frickin.
Once two and three get like greenlit
and frickin balls to the wall, like do whatever the hell they they have to
to be able to tell.
Like the scariest stories.
Do I hope so?
Yeah, I I'm very interested to see how how this movie does.
Yeah, very excited to break it down.
I am, too. I am sad, though.
I mean, it I'm kind of sad that it's also going to be on Peacock
simultaneously because I feel that's just going to kill its box office performance.
Well, we thought the same thing about Halloween kills
and that one ended up doing decent enough.
That's true. I mean, but it didn't do as well as frickin Halloween 2018.
And Halloween ends did worse than kills.
But I feel that that one can be justified as to not a lot of people
were the biggest fan of the changes that they made
or the direction that they took the third film.
So, yeah, I guess you could chalk it up to that.
So I'm really hoping that even though it's coming to Peacock,
that it's super successful in theaters.
Well, you got to think, too.
It's like we don't we don't know because studios aren't very open
or at least services haven't been very open.
And this is just kind of part of the the strike that's going on.
Is there not we don't know how Halloween kills performed.
That's true.
That's true. That that is what sucks about frickin.
What's the word streaming services and like what their viewership is,
because there there are some streaming services that will not release
their hours watched or their amount of people that tuned in.
I think like the biggest culprit was HBO Max.
Like they frickin held that shit back for a while.
Yeah. So if if we get to a point
where they have to be more open about this,
then maybe these movies are doing better than they're expecting it to.
Because like think about it, it's weird that they're going to dump
as much money as they have into a movie franchise like Five Nights at Freddy's,
knowing that it has a decent fan base like Halloween
and they're going to go back to doing theaters and streaming.
Streaming. Yeah, like that seem it seems suspicious.
It makes me think that maybe Halloween kills did a little bit better
than what they were thinking.
I think Halloween ends only got a theatrical release, right?
No, no. Halloween ends was on Peacock as well.
It did. OK.
Yeah, I think that one you can chalk up to just it not being a great movie.
But this one like.
There's like they wouldn't continue this this trend
if it wasn't profiting them.
That's fair.
I'm curious what the budget for Five Nights at Freddy's was,
because I mean, it's Blumhouse, so they had to have kept it on the cheap,
even even with the.
The the cost, I'd be shocked if they went over one hundred and fifty.
Dude, I'd be shocked if they went over a frickin 50 million.
Like my dead serious.
Sorry, one second. It's being stupid.
OK, here we go.
Do you see even lower than that is only estimated,
but the estimated budget is 25 million.
Damn. Yeah, dude, Blumhouse knows how to make horror movies on the cheap.
Yeah, always super profitable.
Like literally the most expensive Blumhouse movie ever.
Literally the most expensive Blumhouse movie I still have seen to this day
is, I think, Halloween 2018, because it was like 40 or 50 million to do.
But it grossed like close to frickin 300 million.
That's awesome. Yeah, dude.
This just makes me think that doing practical effects
isn't as expensive as I think it is.
Dude, same.
And especially if you're using the Jim Henson company, I thought
that I thought the budget would be a lot more. I know.
Like those people don't come cheap.
I know. Like I understand that maybe it takes more time than CGI would.
But I think you're saving a lot of time on the back end, like post production.
And you're also making fans very happy.
Yeah. Having something that they can like physically see,
like you could take to frickin Comic Cons and shit.
Yeah, like, dude, like you can't frickin beat that.
Like I'd have a hard time not like
going to a frickin Comic Con with with these outfits there.
Dude, right.
Like I was telling Caleb before we started recording that
at the Universal Halloween Horror Nights this year,
Universal slash Blumhouse actually,
I don't know how long they're going to have them on for, but they actually have these
these animatronics on display from the actual movie.
Oh, man, that's going to be sick.
Like literally, I'll have to I'll send you the video later.
But they look frickin amazing.
But but everyone was commenting on how like Freddy's feet look way too big.
That was like the number one comment.
Like people are just like, oh, yeah.
I mean, if you're a cheeky, you look great.
But Freddy looks a little his feet look way too big.
I mean, if that's the biggest complaint that you have,
you're stretching here on the right track.
Right. Yeah, you're stretching at that point.
Yeah. But gosh, dude, it makes me.
It makes me wish that maybe we got more practical shit in like superhero movies.
Agreed, agreed.
Like you see the more stuff that I see that has more practical stuff
the more I'm impressed with that.
And like doing the
like kind of making things work side by side,
how they did with frickin like Jurassic Park,
like Jurassic Park, they use the prosthetics and then they only use the CGI for like eyes.
Yeah. And I'm like, that's perfect.
Yeah. Like it's going to look frickin real.
And then just like throw in like the little
CGI things that you just can't get with prosthetics.
Yeah.
Like it's kind of me with like the Chucky franchise, like
like every single time, like it's just the actual like puppet and they're like controlling him
literally looks absolutely frickin amazing.
I love that practical shit.
But when they have to use CG, like they have to use CGI for certain moments
when he's like walking down the stairs or, you know, there's a certain action scene,
it loses like the
there's a certain action scene, it loses, I feel it's luster because
most of the time it looks like shit.
Yep.
And I I'm sure you remember frickin in curse of Chucky
when he's walking down that staircase.
Oh, my God.
That CGI is God awful.
Yeah, it was not good. Yeah.
But do that for when it's when it's just the actual doll,
you know, the animatronic doll, he looks frickin great. Yeah.
It's funny, like seeing them like the different versions of
of moving Chucky that they have because they have the animatronic
that just kind of like barely moves.
Then they have the CGI Chucky that looks frickin horrible.
And then they have the little person dressed as Chucky
that looks super frickin cheesy.
Do you forget that?
That might be my favorite Chucky, though.
That's fair, because, dude, if you go back and watch the original,
you're just like you guys didn't even like try to hot
or you didn't even like try to hide that that's a little person in a
in a costume like you didn't.
It seems like you didn't even ask them to try to like do movement
movement as a doll like.
I think that's why why it's my favorite thing,
because it's just it's like it's it's funny.
It's as soon as like they just blatantly are like, whatever.
Do you forget? And I don't know about you, but like when people just say,
oh, yeah, when when it's when it's just Chucky and his like animatronic doll form,
he's the scariest.
No, when it's the when it's an actor in the Chucky costume
and the mask that they have to wear, that shit is nightmare fuel.
Like, go back to some of the stills from the first child's play,
especially the one where I think he visits John before
his voodoo teacher before he kills him.
Yeah. When there's like a scene where like it has the actor
just sitting on the fricking counter wearing the mask.
And I'm just like, that has got to be the scariest Chucky I think I ever
I have ever seen.
And it's not even fricking Chucky as a doll. Yep.
Oh, man.
Like, I was never scared of Chucky as a child.
I never have been.
But if that was my first introduction to Chucky, yeah,
I think I'd be scared of shitless.
Yep. That just proves you can't be practical.
No, you can't.
Even if it looks ridiculous, like you cannot beat practical
in the slightest.
And yeah.
And I hope this movie just proves that, like just makes it even more of a staple.
Like, hey, we want fricking practical shit. Mm hmm.
Yeah. So I'm I'm pumped.
I'm so pumped for this. I am.
What are you after this trailer ranking wise?
Man. I'm like nine and a half.
Same here.
Like, I don't know what can push me to a 10, but
I don't know.
I think what's keeping me from a 10 is.
Honestly, I think it might be that it's going to streaming.
I think that's what's keeping me at a 10, because it just it makes me
it puts in that like little glimmer of doubt that maybe this isn't good enough
to be in the. Yeah, because I don't get it.
Frickin this is going to theaters and streaming, but fricking the exorcist
movie that Blumhouse is coming out with, like at the beginning of October.
As far as I know, that's just strictly theaters.
Dude, holy ballsack.
That movie looks.
I don't know if I could ever watch that.
Do you have a little fricking scary?
So fricking you'll never guess he's the one with the two girls, right?
Mm hmm. OK.
Have you seen who's directing that?
Ah, no, it's it's David Gordon Green,
the guy that directed the the new Halloween trilogy.
That means it's going to be good.
Well, at least the first two, I don't know about the third.
Oh, man.
Um, but yeah, that's like I've never been the biggest fan of the exorcist.
But yeah, when I saw that it's David Gordon Green, I'm just like,
I kind of have to see it.
I really loved what he added to the Halloween franchise.
So I kind of want to see what he adds to the exorcist franchise.
Gosh, what fricking movie did I go to see?
I might have been Oppenheimer.
I forget which movie I was in, because we haven't done a horror movie in a while.
Unless you count fricking Haunted Mansion, which I don't.
I don't.
Like the last one we did was Evil Dead, but that one was on streaming.
So I it might have been Oppenheimer that showed the exorcist trailer.
That shit like rocked me.
Right. Oh, shit.
They are just sitting there like, don't don't don't don't don't.
It was so I think it was I think it was Oppenheimer because we were hit.
With the nun trailer, which.
Do I I couldn't I couldn't even like look at in the general direction of the screen.
So what you're saying is you want to break down the nun to cool.
App dude.
Now you can do that, but that one by yourself if you want.
I cannot.
Like when the kid, dude, have you seen the trailer for that?
Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
So when the kids are walking through, oh, whole whole dude,
when she's like shining the flashlight, like looking through the room and like,
kind of I hate the fricking Passover and then coming back to I hate that.
Like I respect it.
I respect that, like the effect I I I appreciate the scare.
But brow, that made me want to shart in my fricking pants.
I'm like, don't don't like I knew it was coming, too,
because like the flashlight just kind of going over and I'm like, oh, shit,
she's going to be in that doorway.
She's going to be in the door.
She's in the door. She's in the doorway.
Oh, shit.
Like, oh, no.
So, yeah, I lost my ever loving mind with that.
And I'm like, nope.
And then
I got hit with the the haunting one, like the the.
Oh, like the haunting in Venice.
Yeah, haunting in Venice.
We got hit with that one.
And that one was fricking.
On my no bueno list.
This is crazy that I got hit by Exorcist.
Is this crazy that we go from the first two films with the heart
that detective I forget how to pronounce his name, Haru Puro.
Yeah. However, you say, you'll hear her cue.
Thank you, Puro.
You get murder on the Orient Express and then death on the Nile,
which I feel are pretty tame movies.
And then you go, they fricking go balls to the wall for the third one,
like straight up horror movie.
It keeps it interesting, though.
That's fair. No, that is very fair.
Like I never saw it on the Nile.
So, yeah, I actually prefer movies like that, where it's like.
It's kind of how I felt with.
Knives out and glass onion.
It's like same detective,
completely different casts, completely different mysteries.
All right. Yeah.
Like I like that a lot.
I haven't seen death on the Nile yet.
But I kind of really want to go see
haunting in Venice, yeah, even though I know I'm probably going to be like.
Fetal position in the corner.
Just with like a shit ton of popcorn that just keeps like popping up.
But that probably mean I don't think I'm going to see it in theaters,
but that probably me with a nun to honestly.
I didn't do so hard with the first one,
so I doubt I'll do good with the second one.
Yeah, no, thanks.
I literally need to watch the first one again because I had a very bad
movie theater experience with that one.
And I've never looked back at the movie since then.
So like, I kind of hate that movie.
But I'm sure if I rewatched it, like I would think it's not that bad.
Fair. So.
Yeah, so.
Yeah, nine and a half out of 10 for five nights.
Yeah, frickin I mean, out of all the horror movies
coming out for the rest of the year, this is definitely number one for me.
Definitely at the top of the list.
Easily number one.
I really hope it's done well, because we've been hearing about this movie
for frickin years since like 2015.
Yeah, it's been a really long time.
Yeah. And the fact that it is finally come to fruition, like
I'm stoked, I'm so happy, but I'm scared.
Yeah, same.
So. But so that's that's it for a four case spotlight and through the wall.
So, Caleb, what do you say we.
Jump into.
Our headliner of the evening.
I say let's do it.
All right, so before we jump into our breakdown of pneumonia,
we asked a question of the week.
I guess we asked our question of the week on our social media platforms,
and we actually got a decent amount of responses from the audience.
So we have a lot of questions, but let's get to the question of the week.
So we have a question for you, Caleb.
I responses, responses, mostly on Tik Tok.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
So we're going to list off our top five.
Yes. OK.
I'L start.
That's OK.
Coming from Tannis Padilla.
They said a worm with a machine gun.
Oh, you know what? I probably should have
um
Probably should read off the question first
Yeah
That would probably be a little helpful
Right? Just a little bit
Alright, the question that we asked is
What kind of fantasy
slash mythical creature would you want to be
able to turn into?
Like I said
Tannis Padilla said a worm
with a machine gun
That just sounds badass
That's a great answer
That sounds super badass
Shout out to Beth

My next one is
From
Em1541
Who said
A sea serpent
Ooh, okay

I mean
I wouldn't say quite Loch Ness Monster
But
Kind of going along those
Rats, like I don't know
I've always liked sea creatures
So like when it comes to like
Sea snakes
Like my favorite like
Mythological creature
Has always been
The world serpent from Norse mythology
Okay
Cool
I don't know
Like real life snakes
Make me want to jump up a freaking tree
I don't know
Like something about like mytho

Are freaking dope
Alright, two shit

Number three for me
Coming from Connor Skyloft
Give me a Phoenix
Cause I can resurrect

That's like self healing
And all that other good shit too
Yeah
Let's see
Jumping back over to
YouTube
We got one from
BDL Crete
Or Creates
8440
Who said, sounds basic
But a griffin
It seems really interesting
And I gotta agree there
Griffins are like
In terms of like mythological creatures
Griffins are kind of the go to
Like the first
First thought in your mind creature
But there's a reason
For that, it's because they're freaking sick
That's true
So yeah
Freaking
Love that idea
And I'm thankful that answered a griffin
As well
I did notice that
My next pick
Coming from Talented Failure
Trademarked
A cat
I've always felt like I've had cat like reflexes
And behaviors
Fair
That's probably what I would answer too honestly
But for the most part of just being able to sleep all day
That just sounds
Heaven
Yeah
Damn
I've given this some like real thought
In terms of like an animal
And
Honestly
I don't know like
If I'd want to be like
A fish
But I do
I do want to be some sort of
Like aquatic
Animal
Okay
Like one thing that like always kind of
Intrigues me
Is
Things that are underwater
Okay
Like I really enjoy scuba diving
I've gotten
My certification to do that
Dude I didn't know that
That's awesome man
Yeah I did it when I was like 12
Really?
But yeah we got like a certificate
Did we even know each other when we were 12?
That's a great question I am not sure
Okay sorry
But yeah it was like during the summer I was 12 years old
I went and got certified to go
Scuba diving
And I love
That like it's fun to do
Like underwater exploration
Of like any sort
Like
So we went to this one place called the crater
In Utah
I'm not sure exactly where it's
Located
But it's this place called the crater
It's like a natural hot spring
And you can go in there
And you can dive it's like 60
Feet down
That you can travel
And so we
Traveled down to like
The bottom
And we were just
Me and my dad were just kind of goofing off
And we were like feeling around in the sand
Down at the bottom
And we found like a bunch of stuff
And like I freaking like
Love that shit
Like I love being able to like
Find stuff so like
I'd want the creature that I'd be
Able to turn into to reflect that
And
I'm thinking like dolphin
If a dolphin
Can be in fresh and
Salt water whatever can be in
Both fresh and salt water
I think I'd want to be
One of those
Okay
I like it
But yeah
No cats though
No
Of course
Oh shit
Alright my next
One and is this number four
Yes this is your number four
Okay
So it's coming from
Lit Drago

I like it
Yeah
Alright my last one
Is coming from a Matthew
PubgGamer5082
Who said
An ant
Okay
Yeah I think that's an interesting one too
Like
I mean if you want to talk freaking
Exploration like
Being able to turn into an ant and like
Go and explore a freaking
Ant colony
That would be sick
That would be pretty freaking cool I'm not gonna lie
Yeah so
That's why he got my number five
I like it
Um
Yeah thank you everyone who
Answered our question of the week
If you guys want to know where to find
That you can find it on our Instagram, Tiktok
Um
Or YouTube I don't
Do we post them on? Do you post them on Facebook
Or Twitter at all still or no?
Just those three
Uh it's mostly just those
Three
Um I haven't found a good
Way to post to Twitter and Facebook
Yet
But we barely get any
Interaction on on Facebook
And most of the people that do interact with
Us on Facebook I'm looking at UNS
Nelson family
They also follow us on
Instagram and Twitter or on
Tiktok so
Like they'd be the ones I'd be posting to get
The interaction out of but they
Could do it on uh
Twitter or
On Tiktok and
Instagram so no
Excuses apparently we're out for blood
With the Nelson family tonight
I know we had a freaking
Rose Caleb episode we had a
Rose episode and now we're having
A Rose to Nelson's episode
Hahaha
Oh I love it
I love it
Uh alright anyway
Uh getting into this breakdown
Of Nimona uh Caleb do you
Want to let people know how we break down
Uh movies on this podcast
Um I would love to
If you are new
To our breakdown system
We have split movies into
Eight different categories that we individually
Score to come to a
Final Albrose letter grade
The eight categories that we
Score are story
Writing
Acting
Character development
Uh with this one being an animated
Film instead of effects we'll be
Discussing the animation
Uh we'll be discussing music
Instead of costumes
This is going to be mostly character
Design um
And then we will be giving this
A personal score at the very
End all of those numbers get
Magically added up and spit through our
Algorithm and gives us a letter grade
Um that we will compare
This movie to others of a
Similar grade as well as a percentage
That's not as important
But it is kind of fun to see where these
These rank up so
See how many people we can piss off
Oh yeah and
I do we pissed off a significant
Amount of people last week
Yeah I
Yeah I noticed that
Yeah um but yeah all that
Gets added up gives us a final
Albrose letter grade
To so
Yeah that is how our
System works
Um
For
Friggin had a brain fart
You good
Yep um
Uh okay if you have
Not seen
Nimona um it is
On netflix right now
Which
If you support the
Rider strike you shouldn't be subscribed
To but
If you are
It's on netflix
Um
And uh
We're definitely not saying you should watch it
Um
Maybe when netflix starts
Negotiating
When uh
When um they uh come to an agreement
Here then go and watch nimona
Let's go with that
We're such
Hypocrites we really are
Like we
That's what sucks is yeah like I feel like a hypocrite
But like I truly
Believe everything that the writers and
Actors are fighting for and I really hope
That they get what they deserve
I do too
Dude it's so
It's such a double edged sword
Like
Trying to find like how to support
Because it's like you want
To give the creators
Of the movie
To just the people that worked on these films
You want to give
Them some sort of
Praise and recognition for their film
Yeah
But on the other side of that coin
You have like the studios
That are treating them unfairly
Yes
And so it's like the only way to punish
Or
Act against those studios
That are treating the actors that are
Creating this content unfairly
The only way to get back at them
Is to freaking like
Not subscribe or watch the content
That these people have worked so hard to make
Like it is
Exactly
It freaking blows
Like if you talk about a freaking double edged sword
This is like a four sided sword
And it sucks
Because it's like this movie like
Absolutely deserves recognition
But the studio can go suck
A dick
Yeah
It's a perfect way to put it
So it's just
So
We
We are only looking at this
Through the lens of
It as
Content and not it as content
On a streaming service
If we can possibly do that
As hypocritical as that might make us
So please don't judge us too harshly
And please don't cancel us
Yeah
So
Like we said if you have not seen
Nimona go check it out
Through whatever means you can
And
Yeah and then come back
And let's check out this breakdown
But if you have not seen it
And want to listen
Past this point we are going
To be spoiling this entire movie
So if you listen past this point
It is your own damn fault
Yes what he said
So without
Further ado
Let's get into our favorite
Segment that we like to call
Reading with Rose
Alright I got
This
In a medieval
Futuristic kingdom
The citizens are protected by the
Institute of elite knights established by the
Legendary heroine Glorath
Who a thousand years
Wow
Thousand years ago vanquished a great black monster
And enclosed the kingdom with a high wall
For its protection
Ballester Boldheart along with his confident and
Boyfriend confident wow
And boyfriend Ambrosius
Goldenloin
Goldenloin that's how you say it
I hope so
After reconvening
Ballester and
Nimona returned to the institute and
Tricked the director by having Nimona impersonate
Ambrosius
That's the end of the sentence
Jonathan wow
Dude okay
Speaking of this scene
Did you catch the note from Sam
No I didn't see it
Spoiling the movie and
Spoiling the English language
That's perfect
I don't know about you Caleb
But so I didn't
Catch on that it was supposed to be
Nimona doing
Freaking shit I already forgot his name
What the hell
Is his name
Ambrosius
I didn't know
That it was her pretending to be him
And so I thought this shit was like real that like
They were actually having like a full on
Like not a moment
But it was like super serious
When she freaking
When she freaking like stabs him
And my freaking jaw dropped and I'm like
Holy shit what
And then freaking you see the him like
Like dying stupidly
Are you freaking kidding me you're ruining this like
Great character moment
With this stupid death
But then I'm like okay wait a minute
It's Nimona isn't it
It's Nimona and then yeah she
Transforms back I'm like god damn it
You son of a bitches
Well done jumpy pants
Thank you Sam thank you
If you ever come on
Sorry
I was gonna say Sam
Sam if you ever come on you gotta
Explain why that's my nickname
To you so
Yeah
But no getting back to that scene
Dude I thought the same thing
For like a
Long time like a lot
Longer than I probably should have
But I was sitting there like dude why are they
Freaking spoiling this freaking dramatic
Moment
This is some bullshit and then it took me
A second and I was like ding
Like oh this is
Nimona yeah right okay I'm glad
I'm not the only one
Yeah well usually she has a freaking
Giveaway
Like some sort of trait like when she turned into
When she turned into Ballester
Ballester had like the red streak in his hair
That's true
Yeah so where the hell was that or was like her
Any sign of was it red or pink I can't remember
It's kind of
A bit of both
Yeah seriously where the hell was that
Yeah
That's the case if there has to be
A sign on Ballester
There has to be a sign on god damn it
I already forgot his name
Ambrosius
Thank you sorry these names are just
Very
Medieval
So I'm going to have a hard time remembering these
Yeah I already have
The freaking IMDB open
I love it
But yeah totally
Totally tracks dude
That is
Something I'm wondering if maybe
That's like something I missed
Like maybe there was like
Some sort of giveaway
But
The way that
They pulled that scene off though
Was fantastic
Absolutely that was so
Freaking good
Yeah like oh man
Wait so is that
Was that it or
No no that's not it I just want to point that out
I just want to see if you were the same way
Yeah like my initial
Watch because I rewatched this one
Today
But yeah
My first go my first watch
I was like what the shit
Like whole damn like this
This movie is getting freaking nuts
Yeah and
It didn't end up going that way and then when
When it finally like
Revealed and then the real Ambrosius comes
Like boom like in the door he's like we need
To talk and the director is just like
Yells in his face and he's like
Bad time
The hell was that
Okay so yeah
The freaking fantastically
Written scene right there
Yeah
Excuse me
It's like said after reconvening
Balester and Amona return to the Institute
And trick the director by having Amona
Impersonate Ambrosius
The director admits the truth of her actions as she
Objected to the Queen revising
Tradition by allowing commoners
To become knights fearing that doing so
Would lead to the kingdoms downfall
Balester records her confession and posted
Online leading to public outcry
The director recognizing
Nimona's powers discovers through
Ancient scrolls that Nimona is the
Great black monster defeated by Glorath
She uses this to
Convince the public that Balester used
Nimona's powers to fake the confession
While also stating that Nimona could be
Impersonating anyone
Leading to distrust among the citizens
Ambrosius meets with Balester
And reveals Nimona's past insisting
That the two were deceived by her
Shocked by the revelation
Balester argues with Nimona and questions their
Friendship feeling betrayed Nimona
Flees into the woods
Stopping at an old abandoned well
Nimona reminisces about her past
A thousand years ago she wandered the world and turned
To other animals to try and fit in
With the wildlife but none of the
Creatures she encountered accepted her
One day she encountered Glorath as
A child by the well and turned into
A human for the first time
After seeing Nimona Glorath immediately welcomed her
And the two became best friends
Even after Glorath discovered Nimona's powers
Eventually the rest of Glorath's
Village discovered
Nimona and quickly accused her
Of being a monster
While attacking Nimona with pitchforks and
Torches the village was accidentally set on fire
Instead of defending her friend
A confused Glorath turned on Nimona
After her parents called Nimona
A monster having been raised to believe
That anything called a monster was bad
With Balester's abandonment and Glorath's
Betrayal echoing in her head
A distraught Nimona breaks down and transforms
Into the great black monster
She then attacks the city intending
To commit suicide by impaling herself
On the sword of Glorath's statue
However before Nimona is about
To pierce her own heart
Balester stops her and apologizes to her
Causing Nimona to change back
To human form as they embrace
And make amends while the whole
Kingdom watches and are touched by it
Meanwhile the director unmoved
Orders a laser cannon to be fired from
The wall to kill Nimona
Ambrosius protests knowing that
Firing the laser into the city
Will kill innocent civilians
The director then turns on them
Using the same laser she used to kill
The queen and prepares to fire
The cannon herself
To save the kingdom Nimona assumes a
Giant red phoenix like form
And flies into the cannon resulting in
Her death as well as the death of the
Director. The resulting explosion
Destroys part of the wall revealing a
Beautiful mountain
Mountain
Mountainous valley
Behind it. Mountainous
God damn it
The English language
What's that? That's my question
Something that you were taught from
Childbirth Jonathan you dumb ass
Anyway sometime later the kingdom undergo
Several changes the breach in the wall
Has become a trade road
Nimona and Balester are honored as heroes
And Balester restores his relationship
With Ambrosius
Balester visits his old hideout
He hears Nimona's voice and joyfully
Realizes that she has been resurrected
Hell yeah
Bro I
I didn't have like too high of hopes
Coming into this movie like initially
Like I turned it on just because it was
Something like I'd seen trailers for a
Little bit like I'd seen little clips and
Bits on on tick tock and Instagram and
Like it looked okay like good enough
But my my expectations going in were
Pretty low and so when I like finally
Finished this movie it was freaking
Beautiful dude
It really was like honestly until up
Until you told me like oh hey let's break
This down I had not seen one trailer
One poster nothing for this and even
After you said oh hey let's do it I
Still didn't watch a trailer nothing so
I went into this movie completely blind
And I am honestly so glad I did
Because holy shit this movie was great
Man it was so well done like just kind
Of getting right into it with with the
Story I felt like they did such a good
Job at excuse me making Ballester the
Like a like a sympathetic character
Like I know that we're supposed to be
Like he's supposed to be because he's
The like the protagonist and everything
But I think they did so well at like
Introducing his his character and how
He was basically giving us like a brief
History lesson on who he is and then
Making him like showing his humility
When he's like sitting there like kind
Of worried about how the kingdom is going
To accept him when he becomes a hero of
The realm and everything and how that's
Immediately just like ripped from him
When his sword like kills the queen and
How like he's being hunted and how
Quick how quick the realm was like was I
Turned on him and like accepted him as a
As a villain and like it was
Heartbreaking like even like though we
Weren't like super invested into who
This character was I think they wrote it
Well enough where it's like they gave us
That that thing to cling on to them oh
He's a good person kind of gave us this
Love story to hold on to that's obviously
Was challenged throughout this movie and
And everything but yeah like I think
They did all these these parts like so
Well to know they really did like yeah
Like right before or no right after
He gets knighted by the queen and I
Don't know about you but like when
There was just like silence for like
Five seconds I'm just like screw you
People y'all are freaking assholes for
Not giving him a round of applause and
Then finally it picked up finally it's
About damn time guy deserves it but yeah
I know yeah I absolutely agree with you
What you said the character arc that he
I mean get more into this character
Development but just like yeah how fast
The town just turns on him and then
Freaking how a namona is introduced to
Him which like her introduction is so
Sudden like all of a sudden you have
This kids like hey I'm here for the
Freaking job opportunity I'm here to be
Your sidekick and then literally it's
Just like freaking like her character
Like is like not not not trying to
Explain her character like I feel up
Until the end we don't really get a
Moment to breathe with namona's
Character it's just like freaking like
Go go go with how crazy she is but I
Absolutely freaking loved that like
There were so many moments throughout
The movie that like she would have like
Such like good good like one liners or
Her which what she did was like so like
Like like like such such a good character
Moment shit like that I'm just like God
I love her even more I call myself
Saying that out loud yeah dude like
She's a character that could have easily
Been like really off-putting or annoying
But she had such a charm about her it
Was hard not to like her dude right like
Seriously like like her whenever like
They would go on their next like mission
She's like okay now now we now we get to
Be villains like we get to like you know
Punch stuff to source stuff and he's just
Like no that's not the plan we're we're
Doing this we're gonna be the good guys
Here we're trying to prove my innocence
She's like oh well you're no fun come on
I love that shit so much was so good
And no dude she talks so quick like
There she has a lot of lines that it's
Like if you blink you'll miss them do you
Seriously I don't know how people watch
This movie without having subtitles on
I know dude easily my favorite line is
When she's talking about how badass
Ballester's prosthetic arm is and she's
Like whoa cool arm like hey when they
Cut it off did it bleed a lot and then
She like goes like I like reverse cross
Side like did they let you keep the old
One like those moments made me laugh so
Frickin hard like it's like when it's
Always when her eyes did like crazy shit
That I was like yes dude I'm here for it
Yeah that shit was so good yeah that was
One of my favorite parts my other part
Was when they they had the squire and
She like turned back into the little kid
Like I'm sorry for kidnapping you mister
And then he's like getting out or am I
That shit was wild and I loved every
Second of it oh man so freaking good oh
Man like I so good so freaking good
But yeah like this this story had like
A really good flow about it like even
The emotional bits dude yeah those
Frickin hit hard like what I really
Appreciate about this is I mean for
Those of you wondering this is a very
LGBT positive movie because the the
Main character ballester and Ambrosius
Who are both male knights they have a
Relationship and it doesn't seem like
Anyone has like a problem with that no
Like that's what I see like these kind
Of you know LGBTQ love stories I love
Because it doesn't I mean like I love
You know stories that you know just
Strictly focus on it but you know like
With these kind of movies and stories
Where they they want to showcase the the
Gay love stories but they don't want to
Fully focus on that they don't want to
Take it they don't want that they don't
Want it to take away from the story that
They're trying to tell so I love that at
The beginning you know they they do like
The subtle knots to oh yeah you know they
Are lovers because like there there was a
Part at the beginning just like oh my god
Are they boyfriends I was getting
Frickin excited loved it and you know
Throughout when you know about about I'm
Gonna put Balthazar ballester ballester
Balthazar that's something else that is
From something else I can't recall off
The top of my head but I'm pretty sure
That's like a bad guy I think so but yeah
Bad yeah bad baluster you know
Throughout the movie you know him trying
To prove his innocence but also the
Trying to showcase you know his his his
Love his love of his life I'm sorry I
Keep butchering these names Ambrosius
You know that you know that they can
Still trust each other that he was
Innocent you know all the stuff and you
Know the the ups and downs that you get
With their love story is really good here
But it definitely like it adds to the
Story it doesn't take away from the story
That they're trying to tell with
No Mona and
Ballester I'm gonna ski sorry I keep
Forgetting these names because I feel at
The end of the day this movie it's
Ballester and the Mona's movie
I don't I wouldn't say it's like one of
The other movie because I feel like both
Of them have such great moments to shine
Throughout that I didn't catch myself in
Oh this is no Mona's movie really this is
Ballester's movie I guess if you want to
Make it a like if you really want to try
To say it's I would say it's the Mona's
Movie but to me I feel it's both theirs
It very much is they are very much like a
Strong unit yes in this film do one of
The things I really liked and this can
Kind of be said about a lot of movies
It's just that when they're trying to
Touch on the subject of anything like
That's prominent in our our real world
Talking about like the LGBT style stuff
That stuff can I won't say like often but
It can come off as like like heavy-handed
In certain instances but what I liked
About this is that it's kind of like the
The indirect way that they dealt with
This yeah like obviously like in this
Story in this world no one had an issue
With with that like I don't think that
Was an issue that anyone like had yeah
But the issue that everyone had was with
People or monsters that they viewed as
Different or kind of dangerous to their
Society and then you have baluster who
Is someone that was born and raised in
This society coming across someone that
Is quote-unquote a monster and having
Like kind of realizing that she's not
Really bad she's not evil like he's been
Told all his life yes and kind of like
Forming his own acceptance and trying to
Get other people to accept this as well
And then on the other hand you have the
The director who his who has seen
Something new or that she views as
Dangerous being introduced into her world
And taking the steps to like basically
Get like destroy it like I mean she's
Even talked about like she even talked
About it with Ambrosius talking about
Like do you know what's on the other side
Of the wall like of course no one does
Like it's because like out there like
It's the unknown and that like she's had
This nightmare since she's was a child of
This crack in the wall that she's trying
To point out to people but no one's
Listening and then eventually the wall
Comes down and all of these dangerous
Things come in and like if you kind of
Like well flip and turn that a little bit
Like it's she sees this crack in the wall
Which is baluster commoner becoming a
Hero of the realm and then there's a
Monster that is inside their gates and
She's viewing this as like the wall
Crumbling and with in her mind the wall
Crumbling is the equivalent of monsters
Getting in so using like the direct
Comparison monsters being someone
Different than them so like the people
Or just like this the society like they
They'd be in the world changing society
And blah blah blah and so you can like
Easily make that tweak to make this like
Oh yeah this is like a straight up like
LGBT acceptance story like if you view
The monsters being people within that
Community or people that have those or
Who live that life and the like normal
Society being like I guess the straight
People like you can you can make those
Tweaks to this story to make it kind of
Apply to to that situation and that's
Something I really liked like I love the
Like the indirect way that they dealt
With those stories and how even with
Like with glorith she was like I wonder
If if I wish they would have addressed
This if like if namona and glorith had
An altercation once when she was older
But or if that was the altercation that
Was just like became like an idolization
Because that was what was put on that
Scroll like that moment was where
Glorith was standing with her sword at
Like to namona and like they saw it was
A little girl who transformed into like
This big black creature trying to save
Or trying to bite like basically save
Herself and then basically like it was
What that scene was in that scroll was
Taken completely out of context and it
Wasn't like some grand hero that struck
Down the the mighty monster this was a
Girl that would that had this ideology
Pushed on her like all her life and just
Kind of took it and ran with it despite
Knowing who namona is and knowing her
Like intentions I would say yeah like
She just sees like her parents who would
Who had told her like oh like you like
That's a monster and like oh monsters are
Bad you have to like stand up against
Monsters and then like she takes her her
Sword and says her iconic line and
Obviously it was like something that was
Friggin turned into a crazy deal but like
Their whole society was built on this
Misunderstanding and it like I said just
Turns into like a crazy frickin story
Like when you think about it like it's
It's insane how deep this story gets yeah
So I frickin loved this this story like
And even how like how even with like
When namona turned into the big giant
Monster right she was the one getting
Attacked she wasn't attacking anyone like
If you notice she was just walking toward
Like she wasn't causing any sort of crazy
Destruction she was just in a state of
Emotional distress getting attacked yep like
And it took me a minute to realize like oh
Like like this is crazy like she's going
Through attacking no she's walking to her
Death is what she's doing like she's not
Attacking the reason there's so much
Destruction is because people are frickin
Attacking her and you see that like really
Distinctively in the scene where she's
Walking across the bridge like she's like
Struggling to stay up and stuff like you
Can tell it's like she's not meaning to cause
Destruction if anyone's causing destruction
It's these frickin nights yeah so yeah I
Frickin love everything that they did with
This it was so well done it really was it
Keeps you intrigued from beginning to end
Gosh I mean it only been like a few weeks
Since I seen namona and I still enjoyed
The second watch just as much as I did the
First like the only thing that I feel was
Like I didn't care for or I wouldn't even
Say I didn't care for it's just not like
Scenes that maybe didn't hit as hard
Because I saw I knew what the twists were
That like with sounds with that they that
Scene with ambrosia send the director and
The director going to kill him and everything
And I'm like whoa but it ends up being namona
And wild yeah
Dude and what a shitty plan of all the
Like recording the director you couldn't
Have recorded that oh it was like she was
Like wasn't the shape shifter like you
Couldn't have gotten like a pan out or
Anything like dude right seriously like I
Feel like there were some angles that you
Could have shot that would have proven that
It was the frickin director yeah yeah oh I
Absolutely agree so yeah just like minor
Grip there but I love this story I thought
It was really well told one of the better
Stories like this that I've I've seen oh
Absolutely agree yeah I know I kind of went
On like a crazy rant there no you're good
Man I love it so where you sitting with
Story
Just cuz it was so frickin good I'm
Probably I'm at like a 92
That is actually exactly where I was
Thinking too hell yeah yeah I'm moving on
Over to writing
I gotta point out one of the most strongest
And like gut punching quotes that namona
Says in it when she says and I'm the
Monster I don't know what's scarier the
Fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to
Run a sword through my heart or that
Sometimes I just want to let him man do you
Talk about a frickin gut punch right like
Hell oh god damn that is frickin fantastic
Writing the whole movie is fantastic
Writing yeah dude like the humor in this
Was on point and then the the emotional
Scenes were too everything frickin hit
Exactly as it should like namona's humor
Was like perfection I loved how baluster
Was like the kind of the straight guy here
And just kind of playing that role like
The just kind of being taken along for the
Ride in some instances but yeah namona
Was so frickin well done like I loved
When when she was just talking about
Going to get the squire and she's like
Yeah let's go kill this game yeah I said
Get him
What is this she says when the squire
Starts making noise from the trunk he's
Just like oh hey you guys are having such
A tender moment but you know hey I want
Out of here she's like oh yes the frickin
What is it she's like oh yes the prisoner
We're gonna quit we're gonna kill I mean
Question him now we're gonna kill like I
Forget what she keeps going back on is
This something along those lines
She gosh because she has like a full rhyme
Right yeah I just can't remember it
I'm gonna see if it's in the the imdb
Quotes
Because I I tried to find it um like
That that quote that I read um I had to
I tried to find that on imdb and for
Some reason it's not included in their
Quotes I literally just had to search
Namona quote monster and bam popped
Right up that's oh she calls him the punk
In the trunk and then she says let's go
Dunk on the punk in the trunk
Gosh why was it so hard to find something
That rhymed with dunk dude but there
There was so many frickin lines that were
We're frickin rock solid in this dude
Like um piggy backing off the line I said
I forgot that it starts with she starts
With this um kids little kids they grow
Up believing that they can be a hero if
They drive a sword into the heart of any of
Anything different and I'm the monster
Yeah like oh man it's so like oh man the
Writing is so frickin good here god damn
Man dude like I'm thinking of like all
These like little lines like when baluster
Ambrosius are are um fighting and
Ambrosius says like basically calls
Namona a monster and he's like our
Balister's like don't call her that she's
Smart kind and quite sophisticated and
Then namona is like in the background
This guy peed his armor
Oh
So good or just like what was their thing
There's something something something we
Win oh man let's see um ah gosh there's
Another one in here that was frickin like
Rock solid oh the frickin like oh he
Chopped off your arm arm chopping is not
A love language
That's a good one too
Uh
Um dude one of the other things that I
Really like too was uh when namona was
Doing the distraction and um like
Pretending to be baluster and so
Ambrosius is watching the the security
Feed and like hears him say something
About jazz and like runs off and he's
Like hmm that's weird he hates he hates
Freestyle jazz
I remember that
And like oh man
They like
The humor here was like was super on
Point it and the serious points were on
Point all the right and like the the
Shift between them felt so natural to
Dude it seriously did like honestly like
The quotes that namona has like the
Especially like the one that that um
That I read I feel like that you can
Relate that to honestly I feel this
Society so much right now
Mm-hmm like it's insane
Um and that's just what it just makes it
So much more powerful and even better of
A line um so like on I don't know about
You man but like I'm actually higher on
Writing than I was with story I am too
How much higher though I'm gonna go two
Points I'm gonna go in 94
I might be a a hair lower I'm sitting at
Like a 93 that's for the it's just that
One quote from namona that's just what
Really boosted me up because it hits so
Freaking hard yeah it absolutely did so I
Completely understand where you're coming
From there all right moving on over to
Acting um let's uh check out this cast
All right first we have Riz Ahmed
Who was the voice for ballester
Boldheart then we have Chloe grace
Moretz who was the voice for namona bro
I had no idea that she was the voice I
For summer I could not catch on to it
When I saw the crest no shit it was her
No wonder it was so freaking good yeah
This was one I had a hard time hearing
Her right like not like not like
Like literally being able to hear her
It's like being able to like distinguish
The actress because I would say in most
Of her other stuff like she kind of has
Um she's usually a lot more like
Soft-spoken so she's not really like as
Uh animated as she usually is yeah like
Um I don't know about you but like
Yeah but like in the um because um she
Plays uh Wednesday and the two Adams
Family movies that recently came out and
Like honestly even if I didn't know that
She was Wednesday I could still tell that
It was her like she could I don't know
Like the way that she sounds in that way
You can definitely tell that it's still
Chloe grace moretz this one even if I
Knew that it was Chloe grace moretz even
Before going into this I still would have
Completely forgotten that it was her
Like yeah she like this is this is not
Only her best voice work but this is one
Of her best acting roles in general like
She was absolutely incredible in this movie
Bro I'll give you that all freaking day
Um I thought she was incredible in this
Like so well done so well spoken too
Like I think where she like I'll say
This anytime I've heard her talk she kind
Of has like a slight I wouldn't even say
It's not like a lisp like it's it's kind
Of like if she um whenever she talks or
Has like the s sounds or something or just
Like finishes like I don't know finishes
A word it's like there's kind of a sound
At the end of it that's a good point
Like I don't like I don't know how like
The the verbiage for that like what like
It's it's just that's kind of what is
Like her giveaway when she talks there's
Just like some sort of like it's the way
That there's just something about the way
She speaks that's very distinct and somehow
She was able to like throw her voice
Completely out of that yeah seriously
So like it's still like it still had the
Tone vocal range was the same and everything
It's just somehow she was able to throw a
Bit more umph into her her voice than she
She usually is um so yeah next we got
Jean Lee Yang who played Ambrosius Golden
Loin which most people would recognize
Him from the Try Guys I don't know what
That is oh it's a thing on YouTube I
Thought you might know it oh um guess not
All right um next we got Francis Conroy
Who voiced the director um super
Intimidating voice yeah she did a great
Job yeah so well done Beck Bennett I
Felt like we should include him who he
Played Thoddius Sherblade he was like the
Super punchable guy I love why you put
That that's great yeah and then uh Julio
Torres who played Diego the Squire I love
It yeah dude I loved the the hints that
We got at the beginning of this film as
To like the suspicious shit that was going
To happen like did you did you catch any
Of the the things I don't think I did
Honestly but like so if usually I'm really
Bad at that kind of stuff okay so if you
Go back and rewatch this like right before
While um this this dude D like the Squire
Is handing out all the swords to everyone
When he gives the sword to um Ballester
Ballester like is sitting there he like is
Holding his sword like sideways and like
Feeling it and he's like looking at like
Basically like analyzing it um like really
Hard because it's like he senses that
There's something wrong with it hmm like
It's different from his normal sword
Because it's like the sword that he's been
Handing with and so it's like yeah like he
Was handed this other sword that looks
Identical but like feels off and so he's
Like kind of sitting there like what the
Hell and uh so the Squire is trying to get
His attention like Ballester I need to like
Need to show you like talk to you show you
Something blah blah blah but he like gets
Shooed away by the presence of the director
If you like look at what he's trying to do
He has the the video on his phone
Really yeah I did not pick up on that at all
Yeah it's it's so quick and I only
Recognized it because I knew what was coming
Um but yeah it was like he was holding his
Phone like wanting to show Ballester
Something but then the director came in and
He like freaked out and ran off and like he
Even says like I was trying to show you like
I was trying to like this that or the other
Like I was trying to trying to try it like you
You're saying that he was trying to show him
Before and I was like okay like he didn't try
All that hard but and then I like upon this
Rewatch I was like oh he did like yeah we get
To see that too it's just one of those things
That's so quick you'll miss it yeah damn I
Honestly regret watching this movie that like
Literally hours before we started this episode
Damn I should have watched it yesterday and
Watched it again today damn yeah it's a it's a
Good little detail and it's just one of those
Things I feel like bumps this movie up a ton
Fairer um so what's your top three look like
In terms of like the cast let's see number
Three I'm going to I think number three I'm
Going to give to Beck Bennett um just because
I just I just I loved how much of a freaking
Asshole he was um but in a way he was kind of a
Loveable asshole I guess in my opinion like I
Didn't I didn't like hate him um but for the most
Part he was just such a dick but he came across
And such I like I don't even want to say a likeable
Way but just I don't know I just loved his
Performance and I had a really good time watching
Him whenever he was on screen fair uh number two
I would give to Riz Ahmed uh played Ballester
Boldhart fantastic performance uh he was freaking
Great loved him so much in this um I mean Riz Ahmed
Is just a great actor in general um so and is this
His first voice acting role do you know by chance
I was actually just going to look up his uh his
IMVB really quick because the only movies that I
Know him from are Rogue One a Star Wars story and
Then also um Nightcrawler um with Jake Gyllenhaal
Which that's probably he was in venom oh yeah he
Was yeah shit yeah he was the main uh antagonist I
Forgot about that yeah um from what I can see
It looks like this was his first voice role okay
He needs to do more because he's really good at
This he's fantastic at it he has a great voice he
Does like seriously so yeah this guy needs to do
More stuff I hope I hope um I really hope that this
Movie uh successful on Netflix and um that it gets
Some more roles because I swear I heard I don't know
If it's true that like there was one studio that like
Originally had the rights to this movie and it was
Like so close to being done but then they I guess
They decided to cancel the project because they
Didn't think it was going to do well or something
But then Netflix picked it up gave the students gave
The um creators the money to finish the movie and
Just took over the rights for it um and I'm glad
They did um like honestly anyone correct me if I'm
Wrong um no that's um according to the freaking
Bugs man um according to the Wikipedia page which
Obviously it's Wikipedia take it with a grain of salt
That is kind of what happened it was supposed to
Come out originally and it was like it had promotional
Stuff and everything for it uh in 2020 oh shit okay
But it like it was early 2022 um like I want to say
February March was like the the day that they were
Shooting for but I think with the pandemic and
Everything it just kind of got scrapped put thrown on
The wayside for forever and then Netflix finally
Picked it up um okay got you and then I think they
Went to blue sky to finish everything up yeah blue
Sky um they did the the peanuts movie you have a blue
Um as far as I know the last movie blue sky ever did
Was uh spies in disguise because disney shut them
Down shortly after that well this was like during the
The disney or the disney fox acquisition oh well okay
Okay so then okay then they were still their own
Thing yeah so let me let me see what the the
Production says on this all right so it says in June
2015 uh 20th century fox animation acquired the rights
For an animated feature film of namona um this film was
Produced by fox's former subsidiary blue sky studios
Alongside vertigo entertainment uh June 2017 fox
Scheduled namona to be released on February 14th 2020
In march of 2019 disney completed its actual acquisition
Of fox then in may 2019 the the film was delayed to
March 5th 2021 uh in november of 2019 the film was
Delayed again to january 14th 2022 uh through 2020
There was a word that the film would be released in
2022 stevenson stated in 2000 or in june 2020 that the
Film was still happening and said the same in an august
2020 podcast in august of the same year den of geek
Reported that the animated film was still scheduled to
Be released in 2022 but gave no further details um
Osborne would depart the film by march 2020 and after
His departure nick bruno and troy quain were brought in
Or brought on in to work on the story after directing
Blue skies previous film spies in disguise production
Would be done remotely during the 2000 or covid-19
Pandemic um let's see oh um on april 11th 2022 it was
Announced that anapurna pictures had picked up namona
Earlier in the year and would be releasing it on
Netflix in 2023 uh the voice cast was retained um let's
See bruno and quain were officially announced as
Replacements for osborne as the new directors of the
Film bruno and quain were heavily involved in the film
Prior to blue skies shutdown acting as directors
According to a blue sky staffer um december 2022 it
Emerged that the film would serve as the first release
Of anapurna's new division anapurna animation and then
Announced like a bunch of the other stuff okay so yeah
It was originally supposed to be released on february
14th of 2020 but didn't end up getting released until
June of this year yeah that sounds right yeah so this
Kind of has a wild story behind it seriously like god
Damn i'm glad it finally got a release i'm very glad
About that dude i am too i'm so glad that this got a
Like a freaking release um but yeah this is a graphic
Novel that's based off a graphic novel so after
Watching this movie would you read it i would
Absolutely read it same here like it's kind of
Like if you look at the like the the art style like
It's it's very different from what you'd see anywhere
Else yeah like it has a like a really cool distinct
Art style about it and i i love stuff like that um but
Yeah like super super cool yeah um anyway well i
Don't know how we got like that's off i forget what i
Asked yeah but anyway um so yeah like i said number
Two Riz Ahmed fantastic job uh but number one i got
A gift to chloe grace moretz namona fantastic um like
You said this is one of her best performances in her
Career i feel not just in voice acting but just
Performances in general um she was absolutely
Incredible in this film um i didn't even know it was
Her until the credits started rolling um yeah i just
Can't say enough good about her she she was absolutely
Fantastic um so totally agree with you there yeah
Um honestly i my top two are the same as you the only
One that i would change is i would make my number
Three eugene li yang who played ambrosius um i felt
Like this might just be because i know who eugene li
Is he's usually like a very uh hyperactive character
Um so i i wasn't sure how well of a job he would do
Being like in voice acting but i think he did a very
Like subtle but like powerful performance and honestly
I feel like it worked a lot better than a lot of other
Characters in this film um i will say i do have some
Minor complaints about the uh the director francis
Conroy nothing too horrible or or or anything i'm
Thinking maybe it's just being over a little over the
Top um but i think he did a very good job at having a
Very grounded um performance yeah no i i absolutely agree
Yeah but other than that totally agree with what you
Said about um riz and and chloe so yeah i freaking love
Them love their performance like there's nothing to
Dislike about it right as far as i'm concerned agree um
What would you give acting though when all put together
I am personally still sitting in the 90s um i might be
Sitting at like a very solid 90 that's exactly what i was
Thinking yeah yep we've been in pretty close agreement
With this one yeah all right next up we got character
Development did you do this on um namona or um oh my god
I forgot his name again baluster baluster thank you i
Think i did do it on namona like re watching it i was
Thinking maybe doing it with with baluster but baluster
Kind of remains that like firm and stoic character
He does he does like he changes his ideals a little bit
Especially when he finds out that the director is
Involved he's still trying to protect the uh the
Institution um and everything like he's trying to protect
Innocence and he's not like he's only wanting to put the
The guilty away and yes the guilty meaning like the
Director yeah and so in that sense he doesn't really
Change too much um i think he does get a little bit more
Like loose and free but it's true those are true yeah but
I think out of everyone i think namona has the most like
The better character arc dude i absolutely agree um
Honestly just just seeing everything that she went
Through in this movie from uh being able to find finding
Um oh my god i forgot his name again baluster baluster
God how do i keep forgetting this for you know finding
Baluster you know um getting getting to know him or seeing
Him as um what she thinks is that he that he's a villain
So that's why she's attracted to him um you know just
Seeing how that all plays out and you know she she finally
Finds someone that she can trust again after what happened
To her in her past um but then even you know he questions
Her at he questions her motives and you know everything
After what he's told um and just especially like the last
20 minutes of this movie where you straight up see her
Walking down this this town on her way to commit suicide
Well everyone's attacking her in her i mean yes she's in
Her monster form but she's literally doing nothing not one
Thing to this town but they're they're all attacking her
Calling her a monster just saying that she she she's
Nothing and it's just pushing her even more to say okay you
Know what then fine you know i i'm going to finally admit to
You people that i am the monster and i'm gonna let you
Drive the sword into me um and it's just such it's it's um
And of course you know thankfully um she stopped um yeah
And you know she sacrifices herself but it turns out you
Know she she she gets reincarnated um and just it i
Think it's such a great character um character development
Throughout and you really feel for her through all of her
Emotional moments through all of her happy moments um
To me it's like one it's one of the better um character
Developments in animated films i've seen in a good in a good
Long while yeah it's it's good i think if i had any
Complaint about this arc is that it happens really late
Into the movie okay that's fair like it is it's a good it's
A good arc like don't get me wrong it's just you don't see
Any like development or headed towards development until the
End like once she's she i think i think it starts like
Once she's driven to um driven from baluster yeah and runs
And goes and confronts her past so i think like i said if
There if there's any complaint it's that um but i will put
This on like the the higher end of of character arcs um
Where are you sitting i don't think i made 90s for this
Because i definitely agree with what you're saying um yeah
But like i'm definitely not either i'm definitely not like
Low 80s um so like i'd probably say an 86 gosh damn that is
Exactly what i put to dude i even like dude anytime i do
This like anytime like i say like ask you what your score is
I usually have mine typed in dude and yeah so i i had an
86 as well dude that's so cool all right next up we got the
Animation or effects or whatever whatever you want to call
But this is animated movie this is so we'll be talking about
The animation bro beautiful African stunning yes so freaking
Good um like no not you know i'm not even gonna say that i was
Gonna say like you know it took me a minute to get used to the
Animation but no it didn't it was great from the start i i
I completely got it from the very very beginning um i i'm not
Gonna freaking um dock the animation in this like honestly i
Had like no problems whatsoever with this animation it was
Absolutely fantastic dude i'm i'm the same like i was actually
Surprised to see that this wasn't done under like dreamworks
At all because it kind of has a real dreamworks vibe it did
Like honestly yeah you know you say that yeah it kind of had a
If i'm comparing this to anything it kind of had a like a
Puss in boots meets the bad guys that yeah that's a great way
To put it yeah but if it like but if still like stylized in
Such a way that like was very pleasing to the eye yes
Absolutely so freaking good like fantastic honestly i i am
Gonna dock for wait is that character designed i i will
Admit um like because we what we gave spider verse a hundred
Right yes see i don't think i can get to a hundred but it is
Such high 90s though yeah i i i don't know if i've cracked a
Hundred and the the reason be is because gosh okay i'm gonna
I'm i'm i was gonna shit okay are you okay i know this is
Where like animated movies get really difficult to do between
Like the animation and the character design because it's
Like the character design is i'm i'm i'm looking at like how
Like the characters look but it's also like this is this is
Weird because my my complaint that i'm gonna bring up is
About how the characters look but it's not like in in turn
Like tuned into like oh my gosh okay i'm just gonna freaking
Say it they have a very pixar look about them and i feel
Like they people can get more creative than that and so
That's my only complaint with the air i wouldn't sit i don't
Know to me it's not pixar um just because pixar is i they're
Stationary faces are pixar okay that's fair so like when
They're not showing like it's when they're showing a motion
That their faces get a little bit more like unique all right
All right that that's fair okay i see where it comes from
Yeah so i'm i am gonna have to dock for that but not much
Okay like i that dropped me down to like a 98 god damn
Dude that's exactly what son of a bitch i can't go any lower
Than that like it doesn't deserve it yeah freaking like i know i
Know damn it god damn it so yeah that that's my only
Complaint and the only reason i'm not throwing that into
Costumes is because i don't think that that has any real
Effect on like how the character design is all right that's
Fair like it's it's kind of like i don't know like
Character design it's like for what it is how it looks like
Is this how like does this stand out above everything
Elsewhere when we're talking about animation i'm talking
About like the stylization the the just like how everything
Looks does it have like a unique vibe about it like it's all
That and so it's kind of like it could easily fit into either
Or but i'm throwing i'm taking it out on effects no dude
Completely or animation whatever um all right next up we got
Music i feel that this is like doing wrong is it's a decent
Soundtrack but like nothing really stood out to me that
Much so if like there's one category that i'm not like
Super high on it would probably be this one i agree with you
On that i'm not super high here like i i put it at a seven
Personally honestly i can too i was sitting like maybe a six
And a half but i i can definitely put you at seven i do think
That there was like at least that like their combat songs were
Pretty pretty good little bangers yeah yeah those were good all
Right next up we got character design so this is kind of like
The the characters outfits shouldn't anything else that you
Want to talk about in terms of like how the characters look
I feel like like most of like the other characters besides
Nimona or account not like basic but like definitely screamed
This time period like even baluster but i feel namona she
Stands out so much for how her character designed his
Character is designed here that it definitely boosts it up
Quite a bit agreed and i and i would honestly even say that
For the type of animals that she changes into just for the
Fact that they all they all turn into they turn into a pinkish
Reddish color and i i i don't know i feel that really adds to
Her character even more i think it does too i will say this
Like even though i do think that they just kind of copied and
Pasted the the other nights i balusters and ambrosius they
They had some like bitching outfits they they did like their
Armor was freaking tight yeah i haven't heard i love having
Her i love how ever do what i heard someone say that like
They were tight in quite a while i can bring in that back i
Love it yeah it like i i don't know what it is like i loved
The i love like the distinction between like when they were
Making baluster stand out like having baluster in like the
Dark black armor when he's training with descendants of
Of royalty or just of night i guess you'll say night royalty
Yeah kind of like everyone else has like bright shiny like
White armor like showing hero of the realm when and he's
Wearing like his black armor just kind of showing that he's
A commoner and of like not royal descent and like just i
Love that distinction and it just kind of added when he did
Eventually get viewed as a villain it just kind of added to
That he's already wearing like black he has he has all of
Like the typical features of a villain yeah dude even his
Sword screams villain i feel yeah i know like he has like the
Evil facial hair the freaking twirly mustache with a goatee
Yeah like the the slicked back black hair like just dark
Pointy features and then he's wearing like just beefy black
Armor and black robes and has a giant black sword on him like
Everything screams villain it's like they weren't really
Setting him up for success there no no they were not and
Then like complete opposite you got ambrosius who's in the
White majestic gold armor and he's very has a very stoic
Look his hair is always like has the perfect little swirl to
It and it's like again another bright vibrant color like it
It's i love their like the distinction between them it's
Yeah no i thought that was really cool but yeah namona was
Was the best ever loved everything that she did yeah
Like i i really liked how she looked when she transformed
Into like the little girl yeah she she was so adorable i know
Even the little like demon kid that she turned into was like
Freaking adorable yeah like scary as shit but yeah
Freaking adorable still cute yeah so yeah i costumes this
This one's tough i'm personally sitting at an eight i can be
Talked up if need be are you seven no i'm an eight too
Okay so i was gonna say bro like i can't justify a seven no
Dude yeah no i'm not that low oh dude there there is no way i
Could be that low hell no all right last up we got our own
Personal scores okay who do you want to go first up to you
I'll go first sounds good okay overall i was very
Honestly i was very shocked of how much i enjoyed this movie
Like i said earlier i went into it not knowing anything about
It literally when caleb said oh hey look you know let's
Review this movie i had never seen a trailer poster nothing
And even when he told me i still didn't watch a post watch a
Poster watch any of the trailers and i'm glad i did i'm glad i
Went into this movie completely blind because i loved every
Minute of it i was completely surprised of how good this movie
Was i had a blast from start to finish and honestly i can't
Wait to revisit it because what caleb was saying that he caught
On his second viewing i can't wait to catch on mine just great
Characters great story great animation especially i had a
Great time with this one so for my personal score i think i'm
Gonna i'm gonna go a 91 that is completely fair i i'm barely
Below you i'm i'm sitting i know i know i know that freaking
Shocked me too but i'm sitting at a solid 90 okay all for the
Same reasons you you had i i see myself re exploring or like
Adding this one to my rotation when i feel like i need
And not like an animated movie in my life like i already kind
Of have some in the roster like anytime i'm like oh i need an
Animated movie that isn't freaking cocoa melon that
Doesn't make me want to freaking like jump head first out out
Of window like i have like those handful and like some of them
Are spider-man some of them are like puts and boots like a lot
Of the movies are freaking come out this year but this is one
Of those ones that came out this year that i will be adding
To my my rotation i love this movie i have such a blast with
It i think the humor is on point and as i've proven you can
Go back rewatch it and get stuff out of it that you missed
And i think that works super well for a person like me i
Love being able to go back and see like little easter eggs
And stuff and i think maybe that's why into the spider
Verse stuck out so much to me why freaking mutant mayhem
Also kind of stood out it's because there's so much to see
That you kind of have to go back and rewatch to catch it all
And i think that's just one of the one of those things so
Yeah but i'm i'm sitting at a 90 for this one damn dude i
Was expecting to be like a 92 93 wow okay that really
Shocked me yeah but yeah so with that that concludes our
Wraps up this week's breakdown so going through the
Scores real quick starting off with story we ended up
Averaging out to a 92 moving on over to writing we ended
Up being sitting at a 93.5 our acting ended up averaging out
To a 90 by unanimous decision character development also
Unanimous decision sitting at an 86 the animation once
Again unanimous this is probably the one that we've
Agreed on like the most categories dude seriously yeah
So animation sitting at a 98 music was all right sitting
Out of seven out of ten the character design is sitting at
An eight out of ten and then our personal scores averaged
Out to a 90.5 which brings our final albros letter grade
For namona to a drum noise i really need to get like a
Button or something for that yeah i'll have to i'll find one
On my phone yeah but sitting at a b-plus okay and i thought
It was gonna hit a minus dude it is close really like so
So check this out our cutoff for an a minus is 90 percent
Right this is sitting at an 89.3 damn okay yeah he's really
Close yeah it is redonkulously close i like it though good
Placement or i do too i'm not i'm not upset with especially
With how high this is in the b-plus range show oh boy
Oh shit bro do okay let me guess okay it's above me mayhem
Isn't it no mute mayhem was an a oh was oh i thought it was
The b-plus for a second let me double check on that real
Quick yeah mutant mayhem sitting at an a okay all right few
No it is it is sitting below another animated film that is
Going to be highly controversial at least between us is it below
Super mario brothers yes okay is that the movie or is it a
Different animated movie no it is a different animated movie
Did it come out this year no did it come out last year yes yeah
It came out last year is dreamworks no is it pixar yes it's above
It's above lightyear it's below lightyear it's below lightyear
Oh hell no oh no dude no no all right so check this out
Here but this is better i know all right so freaking check this
Shit out so namona sitting at a b-plus being compared to other
B-plus movies sitting at an eighty nine point three seven is
Sitting below ready or not which is at an eighty nine point
Four it is sitting below lightyear which is at an eighty nine
Point four three so it is less than point what's the like the
Actual it is point zero six percent difference between this
And light it is so ridiculously close that's insane dude i'm
Surprised we've had over two hundred movies reviewed on this
Podcast and somehow we're still hitting scores that we've never
Hit before yeah that is that is just insane like there are not
Very many movies and scores that are like exactly the same so i
This is why i love our system dude like there's sometimes like
This that like will aggravate the shit out of me but fair yeah all
Right so yeah it's below lightyear which is at an eighty nine point
Four three it is below the matrix revolutions which is at an
Eighty nine point five three i'm gonna blame that on dj no offense
Fair it's below black widow which is at an eighty nine point
Six two i actually really like black widow so i'm okay with that
All right it's below better watch out which is at an eighty nine
Point seven two really wow okay and then it is below ghostbusters
After life which is at an eighty nine point seven five i'm okay
With that i'm fine with that one too yeah all right going the
Opposite direction it is sitting above black panther oh shit
Which is at an eighty nine point three four i'm honestly okay with
That dude did we see what did we put black widow above black panther
I think we did and you know what i'm okay with that i liked black widow
More than black panther i'm not oh man anyway um so yeah it is
Above black panther which is at an eighty nine point three four it is
Above knives out which is at an eighty nine point three one all right it is
Above rise of the planet of the apes which is at an eighty nine point two
Five i'm okay with that it is above spider-man far from home our new
Updated score this so this is including um dj and vix scores
Okay cool so eighty nine point two all right ah this blows is above the
Mitchells versus the machines i'm sorry man i'm okay with that i like
The mona better i like michells better but whatever um and then finally
It is above halloween 2018 which is at an eighty eight point six two
I had to throw that one in just to of course you did junk punch you
Freaking asshole um just kind of going through to see like other like
Animated movies um it's above luca i i can agree with that yeah um it's
Above how to train your dragon two it's above ray and last dragon
Definitely it's above how to train your dragon okay uh it's above the
Willoughby's and now i'm getting into a range where i'm like okay it's a
Little bit more okay um let's see what this is below in terms of like
Animated movies just for shits and giggles um all right namona so like i
Said light year garamo del torres pinocchio gosh i freaking agree with
That yeah dumb wish i didn't but it's below turning red really okay yeah
Wow i didn't know that we rank turning red that high turning red was is a
Barely cracked an a- i mean turning red is really good it is a really good
Movie oh okay good it's below how to train your dragon three okay yeah i
Can agree with that uh it's below pushing boots okay yeah i think the
Only one that i was struggling with was freaking light year i had no idea
That we ranked light year that high i know i mean it makes sense like yeah
If you think like it's pretty on like the same level but where namona
Probably had like i think what would killed my or didn't kill namona um what
Boosted light year was the costumes yeah that that's that's fair so like that
That could easily be what the difference is true um yeah but i i'm not unhappy
With this this placing i'm not either honestly um so yeah um unless you got
Anything else you want to say about namona nope other than go go check it out
By whatever means this is i probably shouldn't just kept my mouth shut go
