I will consider it because I know by that time
Drama will have happened

Like I want to hear about people getting caught sleeping with their secretaries
I want to hear all of that like that good shit. Yeah, doesn't come out until you're in your 30s
Yeah, you know fair enough
Yeah, you know what I can agree with this
Oh shit
Oh shit ready to roll. Yes, sir
Oh
What is up bros I'm Caleb and I am Jonathan
And we are 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 all bros
This week on the podcast we are going to be updating you guys on our weekly watches and I gotta warn you
Oh, I watched a lot of shit this week
Yes, he did. He watched he's got like frickin three or four titles on me
Yeah, most okay most of the stuff I watched was kids shows and move our kids movies and shows and stuff
So, I mean there's a slight disadvantage that Rose has there. I haven't been able to watch an adult movie in a real long time
So that just kind of ties into this week's episode
Where we I just especially love that like yeah yours is all kids movies and then my two are
Just complete opposite ends of this. Yeah
Yeah, so yeah, we'll be updating you guys with our weekly watch and
with that
Or after that we'll be getting into our breakdown of
migration yeah
So with that, let's say we get right on into this. Let's do it
Need motivation angry dad podcast trying to jumpstart your life angry dad podcast
You want help getting off the couch angry dad podcast?
You need a verbal kick in the ass angry dad podcast you want to hear from somebody who's been through it all angry dad podcast
I am here for you. You can find me on all podcast platforms
all righty kicking it off with a
weekly watch
Just cuz I have the longer list I'm gonna let Rose go first
So I'm gonna oops well just spoiled it sorry that was my bad
So I'm gonna probably get a lot of flack for this but so I finally watched the Exorcist
Took me got this movie came out in 1973 took me that long
And I'm not gonna lie I think it's overhyped a little bit
I did not get scared really at all nor did I feel uneasy like I know a lot of people said
Oh, yeah, the exorcisms you just feel like super uneasy just
You just feel a certain way. I don't know. Maybe if I watch this when it first came out or before I've seen other
Movies that have like evil spirits stuff like this
Maybe I'd be more would have been more scared, but just it didn't click with me like like
I'm sure it did with other people. It's still a good horror movie. I definitely as you can see on
I still give it a stream at recommendation because I feel it's definitely a horror movie that you need to see
If you're a huge horror movie fan you have to see the exorcist at least once at least once
because for how much it didn't scare me and I feel it's overhyped
There are still a lot of things to like about this like the mother and daughter
Their relationship is really good
The the effects still hold up tremendously
I will say though scary movie to ruined this goddamn movie for me
Because there are parts where when the demon is inside Reagan the daughter she's like shouting obscenities like, you know, I
F her F me shit like that and all I can think of is
In scary movie to when they're doing the exorcism scene
The one of the priests actually starts having sex with the the girl that's in the bed and I'm just like
Just frickin ruined it for me
Because that's all I can think of I can't take this shit seriously
Dude, that's the worst thing about parodies is that they can make you stop taking the shit so serious
Like freaking the part where she first gets possessed and she comes downstairs when the mom's having a party and she pees on the floor
In this one, you know, the mom is very comforting. She takes her daughter upstairs gives her a little bit of a party
I'm remembering is from scary movie to when she walks over to the door and she's like, she's very sick and shoves her face into the piss
Grabs the newspaper. She's like bad bad bad girl beating her like a frickin dog
Oh shit, yeah, so um, so yeah scary movie to ruin this ruin certain scenes of this movie for me
But yeah, so yeah, I think it's a good movie
I think it's a good movie to ruin certain scenes of this movie for me
But yeah overall, I I still liked it. I just feel it's it's a little overrated
So the original exorcist gets a stream it for me
But so I mean we talked about no we talked about this a little bit. I feel like
There there's only a certain amount of people that I feel take this movie
I feel like it's the people that originally watched this
Like in theaters that are just like oh my gosh, this is the the craziest shit
then it then you get the
The the people who were
Who watched it at home?
Like when they rented it from like blockbuster or some shit. Yeah
That watch it they're like, oh my gosh, this was the scariest shit i've seen it was because they
They like the people who saw it in theaters
That was because that was the first time of them seeing something that was truly like demonic
on screen
Or at least the first thing in like mainstream
That I feel was like demonic and then you get those kids that watched a little too young because their parents rented it from blockbuster
And they watched it without them knowing it scared the shit out of themselves. And so they're like, oh, yeah
this is the scariest movie on the freaking planet and then
You got us where?
Are you specifically you were raised on horror movies?
So you're already numb to
Eye gray parents as you can tell. Yeah, so you you you're already numb to this shit
And then on top of that, it's you're you're diving into it being a 70s movie 70 movies are notoriously slow paced
The only one except maybe i'm i'm biased the only exception for that to me is halloween
I
See that's fair
That because that's completely fair i'm i'm biased towards that movie
It's it's my favorite horror film of all time. So completely understandable. I I bet you I
If I had the time to I could get I could create a cut of halloween
That takes out all the fluff and it would be way better for you
Okay
If I if I ever get the time to and i'm just like yeah, what the hell like maybe dude freaking
Maybe there will be an albers cut of halloween
All right
um
for what because
Like me and caleb talked about this before we recorded like we really want to try to start having a bunch more movie nights with vr
Maybe one of these movie nights. We literally watch halloween together and you just point out every single scene that you would cut out
I'm going to expect a lot of pausing
Yep, you could absolutely expect that. All right
um, but yeah, so I feel like those are the people that hold this movie in such high regard or you get those freaking snotty
uh horror
like
Lovers that are just like oh this movie's a cult like those
like freaking pig-nosed people that are just like
I'm a i'm a horror movie purist or some bullshit like that
Like those are the people that I feel hold this movie in such high regard and are able to look at it
without
With an objective eye
Yeah, you're not wrong
So that's what I I that's the weird place that I feel because I was I
I'll be honest when you said that you were gonna like watch these
I I had a feeling you weren't gonna like the first especially because I went and looked at how old this one was
old this one was yeah, so I was like I feel like this one's gonna be a bit because you've never like
Like I think I talked to rielle about this too. I'm like
Oh rose is watching the exorcist
And she's like, oh like you think he's gonna like it and i'm like, I bet you he'll like the new one
I don't know if he'll like the the first one and he's like why not? I'm like because rose is freaking
Numb to this shit
Yeah, you're not wrong
He was raised on on horror and gore and I don't think 70s exorcist is going to do it for him
God
He knows me too well caleb knows me too well
dude, I feel like I like I
I feel like we're at the point now where you're able to recognize shit that I would like even though you don't
And i'm able to do the same. It's yeah, it's true
or at least like how you at least with how
We'd react to a movie. I think we're pretty
Pretty able to like call out like oh, I bet you you'll react like this or you'll react like that or whatever the case may be
Yeah, no
Yeah, no. Yeah, you're absolutely right
I'm like, oh my god, I'm like, oh my god. I'm like, oh my god
It's it's amazing
What can happen when you when two people have been buddies since freaking junior high how
Strong of a connection you can have when you're still best buddies in your late 20s
A lot I can't believe we're in our late 20s now
I am two years away from 30. Please kill me. Oh man
Oh god, okay. Don't want to think about that moving on
So the exorcist stream it. Yeah
But the new one the exorcist believer this one gets a five dollar tuesday for me. Um
I really had a great time with this one. Um
I thought it paid
Um, what's the word?
I thought it didn't disgrace the original. Um, it added to it. Um to me for the better
Um the legacy characters that it brought back even though um, because I did some research on this movie
like I feel bad for the production of this movie because one um,
Because I was telling calebist so the director of the original
straight up said
Um, even though the rights were sold off like he has no right to complain. I okay
He has a right to complain, but he doesn't have to be this much of an asshole about it
So before he shortly died, he told a buddy of his that oh the guy that directed
Uh, the new halloween trilogy is direct making a sequel to my original movie
My masterpiece. I don't think he said that but um, he might as well have uh the exorcist
and
I don't want to be alive during that
and um, so I hope i'm gone before that
And if there is an afterlife if there is a spirit world best believe that i'm going to haunt the ever-living shit out of david gordon green
like
Dude, you are a petty asshole
like
Come on, dude, like like what what was he afraid of was he afraid that he was going to ruin it or I guess so
I guess he didn't like what david gordon green did with the with the the new halloween movies
Which I mean john carpenter he came back to produce the the new ones he added
He added to hit what ideas he wanted. He came back to do the music. I mean
Nothing. It's john carpenter
I know he comes back to these movies for a paycheck because he is straight up said that he loves when a halloween sequel is announced
Because he literally can just hold out his hand and a check
Just freaking drops right in his hand, which you know, I get it halloween is very profitable
But he's still not like an asshole about it. Um
Where this guy was and I feel david gordon green did a really good job adding to um the exorcist
It was a great idea. I think to add have it be two girls this time instead of just one
I will admit that you know one does get more attention than the other
But I feel that it's okay the way that it plays out, especially at the end
Because dude the freaking ending to this had me freaking had my jaw dropping
And like I almost shed a tear
Because like it's freaking sad
like I didn't expect david gordon green to go that direction and
You know freaking kudos to him for surprising me
Um
Just like I feel the reason I would give it a five dollar tuesdays one. I enjoyed it more than the original
But to the ex the actual exorcism the freaking oh my god the the shit that they put these two girls through is freaking
it's hard to watch and
I would have looked like just like seeing like their bodies like the the way that they're like freaking makeup looked their bodies being thrown around
Just like I would I would have thought it'd be really cool to see this on the big screen
At least just for five dollar tuesday. Definitely not a full price ticket
But that scene especially definitely would have been worth worth going on discount discount tuesday
I don't know if I could have done that dude. Yeah. Yeah, I don't blame you like there
Some of the uh, yeah, dude some of the scenes
I'm just like oh my god like they freaking upped it like how the girls look possessed and like just so like
Gritty from the original like so well. It's like it's unnerving sometimes how the girls look and especially in the face
Especially um, yeah, I told you once they disformed the face. I'm done
That's fair
Oh gosh, um
Yeah, the like you said I I know this movie, uh
Really really good. I think it's like
I know this movie, uh,
Apparently like it wasn't so it wasn't a critical success. It was a financial success. Um grossing over 130 million on a budget of 30 million
Even though I I still don't understand why the price costs 400 million dollars to acquire for the exorcist
I don't think it's worth that
In my opinion, but whatever
Um, so I know that you know, they still haven't made their money back and apparently I didn't
Even if they wanted to cancel the other two they're locked into a trilogy
So they have to do it when they bought the rights they they it was a planned trilogy
So they have to go through with it
um, and there is talks that david gordon green might not even come back for the next two to direct them which makes me sad because
I freaking love what he did with this one and I want to see what else he can do with two more. Um,
Like how I felt with the halloween films I did I
as much
Uh as much hate as i'll talk on halloween's even though it's grown on me
Um, I really enjoy david gordon green's directing style and I love what he adds to these franchises
But I loved what he added to the halloween franchise and michael meyers
So I really enjoy what he's doing with the exorcist so far and I really want to see what else he can do. Um
Um, so yeah, exorcist believer my opinion way better than the first or maybe not way better, but at least
No, you know, i'm gonna be ballsy i'm gonna say way better, uh than the original
Uh, and it gets a five dollar tuesday. So that is what I watched this week
noise
All right. I'm just gonna wrap it like more or less rapid fire through mine because I because like I said I watched a bunch
Um, so first one, uh, we we rewatched the flintstones
Oh man, dude, this is a gem
This is this is not one that I I feel would be worth sitting in theater. So this is why i'm giving an assortment
um
but
There's a lot about this movie. That's really fun
John goodman is a great
Fred flinstone
And I love like just the the practicality the sets that they are able to build like they're freaking crazy
Like it is insane what they're able to do and all the like the the
Prehistoric related humor is hilarious
Like I I love that that shit and
This movie it it
It moves quickly is what i'll say it's it's almost too fast
Like it doesn't give you too much time to let shit like
sit with you
So it's it's very quick. It is really freaking quick
like
I want to see just how long the movie is
An hour and a half. Yeah, that doesn't feel like enough time to like fully absorb this movie
Um, I still find it crazy that we got a flinstone's live-action movie before we got a scooby-doo live-action movie
Well, I mean this was released in the 90s so I mean
I
Know I I can buy it. That's fair. I don't know just basing how what was popular for hannah barbera and like the 70s and 80s
scooby-doo
Performed outperformed flinstone's two to one
So but it's also how do you how do you accurately portray?
Scooby-doo
With 1990s
effects
They were barely
Barely able to do it with dino
Yeah, that's a good point and the only reason they were able to is because dino was such a
Comedic look are not a cartoony looking character
So they were able to turn that and like I mean they did use special effects
Like there's some stuff where it looks like dino is running in the air and then like charges fred and whatever and that stuff's very heavily
cgi
um
but any of the stuff where he's like just sitting around or like
Little movements here and there stuff with this face. That's all animatronic
And so there's a rip like you can't do an animatronic scooby-doo
Yeah, you got yeah, you got a point there. So I I think that they waited for the perfect time
To do a scooby-doo. Yeah, that's fair and god the cast was so perfect that yeah
Yeah, I can't argue with you
Yeah, dude, you want to know what blows my mind?
Why haven't we seen a live-action jetsons?
Dude seriously like we've literally gotten all of
Dude, we've gotten a freaking um
Oh my god, what is it joe josey in the pussy cats movie?
Yeah
How do we get that but not a live-action jetsons like the other ones make sense for how popular they were
You know the flintstone scooby-doo yogi bear
Those make sense, but freaking um, the jetsons are up there with yogi. Yeah
Or maybe it wasn't joe
It was either josey and the pussy cats or gem in the holograms might have been gem in the holograms
It was both because joe's yeah, the pussy cats has a movie too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true
So yeah, we're yeah, seriously like I know the jetsons got an animated movie. But yeah, where's the live-action jetsons movie?
Did they really yeah. Oh, you didn't know that like a recent one or no, not a recent one
No, this came out like
freaking like the 90s
Oh 1990 the
Jetsons movie. Yeah
Okay, that doesn't count
No, no, I agree. It does not
Yeah, I mean that that's the same animation and everything that does not count. Yeah
Um
But yeah, I mean i'm just all of the the hannah barbera properties that we've gotten
Why aren't they touching the jetsons?
I mean
Dude, not like let alone let's just set aside the fact that we haven't seen a live-action version
Why haven't we seen an animated version?
You're not wrong like we freaking had
A freaking hannah barbera universe practically in with scoob
True and we didn't get we didn't see freaking anything from the jetsons
That's bullshit
I love the jetsons and i'm bummed out that we haven't gotten anything from them and honestly
I feel the 90s would have been peak jetsons
So it looks like they tried to do it
So it says paramount pictures tried to film a live-action version of the jetsons around 1985
But the project never got far into production
The idea for a live-action jetsons movie was later abandoned by paramount because the special effects budget would be too expensive
The set ideas would become would be complex to design and manufacture and a bunch of cast members turned down starring in the film
And I guess it was never picked up after that or it was never touched again after that
That sucks
That royally sucks. Yeah, I bet they could do it now and it would be perfect
Yeah, no, I agree i'm
Like I know scoob wasn't great, but like I would love for them to you know, try their
Try to do other hannah barbera properties like not everything has to be scooby-doo
Yeah, I would love for them to try
Yeah, I I would love for them to touch upon
Jetsons and like I said, I don't know if I'd want to see the jetsons in live-action or animated more
I'm leaning towards live-action because dude jetsons in the style of like barbie land barbie
Oh, dude. Yes, please. That would be
Dope that yeah
That would be yeah, that would be incredible
Oh, man, dude if oh
If there's anything to bring back dreamcast for
Yes, it's a live. It's in this movie live action jetsons. I love it
All right, uh, the next thing that I watched was the crudes, uh, I freaking love this movie it is hilarious
um
I actually think I meant to give this a five dollar tuesday because that's I I really enjoyed this movie
It is one of it is up there for dreamworks movies. I'll definitely go through there
Yeah, it's one of the more forgettable
dreamworks films but
I also love these movies
like
It's weird to say because it's like I have nothing against this movie like
Like rewatching this the original I thought it was just as funny
the
The like whatever time i've gone through it
As it was the first time
Like I thought it was so good and
Yeah, I like so I i'm meant to change this, uh
To a five dollar. I would personally give it a five dollar tuesday
I'd agree honestly
All right after that I watched ugly dolls again, i'm sorry
The okay the soundtrack is bitching no and goes way harder than it needs to
um
But I don't hate this movie either
You might have you seen it. Oh, no, but you might be one of the only people that I've heard that actually enjoyed this movie
This movie has been ripped to shreds by other people
I
Have a feeling that you would like it
Okay, I so
I still haven't seen the other two, but I really enjoyed the first trolls
If I enjoyed trolls, am I going to like
ugly dolls is it kind of like a little bit alike
Since they're both based on which one do you like more the first or the second trolls?
Well, I haven't seen this. Sorry. I haven't seen the second or third yet. Oh you haven't yeah, i've only seen the first trolls
I would put it
Slightly below the first trolls
Okay
Okay, like I will say that I do think trolls is a better movie overall
Okay
Um, I do feel like this one's really close though. Okay
like I put the if
I put this on the same same level
As as trolls, okay, like grade wise. Yeah
All right
So I think it's it's worth checking it. It's uh, it's uh
It is on netflix if you want to check it out
All right
Yeah, but it's good. I think the reason this movie gets ripped to shreds is because most of if not
Like kelly clarkson is the main voice
Uh, she's like the the little pink one. Oh, okay, and then
uh
What's his face blake shelton voices the little green rabbit?
Oh my okay. Yeah, but it's it's so
Let me see if I remember this cast. I don't remember the red one
or
the doll with glasses
Pink one is kelly clarkson
The green one would be blake shelton. The gray one is voiced by gabriel iglesias
The orange one is voiced by wanda sykes
Uh pretty boy up in the corner is voiced by nick jones
Oh my and then the little blue dog looking thing is voiced by pitbull
Are you freaking kidding me dude?
You would think that it would suck, but it doesn't
Wow, okay
they're
surprisingly
uh
I do not care for pitbull's music. I will just throw that right away
Throw that right right out there, right? Okay
I did not
Hate hit what like the portions of song that he threw in to this movie
Okay
I think it is worth watching at least once
Okay
I will add it to my list
Yeah, I'd say slightly below. Yeah slightly, but below trolls
I'm trying to think of another musical the sing movies I put up there with like world tour
Oh, so, okay. Oh, so you like trolls too better than trolls. Yes. Okay
Um, and then like if I had to order trolls and sing i'd say trolls then sing
Then world tour then sing too
Wait, um, is that from bottom to top or top to bottom bottom to top? Okay
Yeah, so ugly dogs would be like right below trolls, but like I said barely okay
It'd be one of those like maybe barely one percent difference films
Yeah, okay
Like they're really close in quality
i'm glad we're in a grants that sing two is like the rare sequel that
Is better than the original and the original is
Freaking amazing. So yeah
Uh, we're trying to compare it to like another musical though
Let's see kids musical movies
Okay, I would say it's above it's above rio
Okay
Okay, oh freaking dude, I remember when back in high school like me sammy and syria or
Yeah, I think it was high school. Yeah, like me sammy and syria, especially me and sam. We were freaking like obsessed with that movie
Yeah, so great movie if you get a chance to watch it, okay
Cool, like if you ever need something like definitely check out ugly dolls
Okay
All right. The next one, uh, we rewatched storks. This movie is funny, dude
Dude, yeah, this is one of the funniest animated films i've ever seen
Like I enough love there are so many jokes in this that are like my favorite and I like I freaking
Freaking love them like when we first get introduced to tulip
Tulip and the uh junior he keeps calling her like oh like excuse me orphan tulip and then he keeps calling her orphan tulip
And she's like, oh, it's uh, just tulip orphan hurts my heart
It just shit like that and like the little kid just being like, um
Um, I just like fleeting moments precious memories
Dude like the jokes in here are freaking rock solid even the the character that freaking pisses me off the little pigeon
Like even his shit's funny
And so yeah, I freaking love this movie dude
But this is
Not one that I I would go see in theaters again. This is definitely one that's better enjoyed at home
Uh, so i'm gonna give storks stream it
Even though the quality are like humor alone i'd say is easily a five dollar but I think just
Taking everything into consideration. Yeah, i'd put it in a stream it
Excuse me
Then I think this is the last one. Yes
okay
So iris has recently started watching
uh miraculous ladybug or the adventures of ladybug and cat noir
and
It is not a good show
But is is it as bad as peppa pig
Uh, no, I I will I will put this above peppa pig. Okay, it it I will say it's more like cheesy anime for kids
all right
Uh, it's kind of has that like sailor moon super like exaggerated
Costume up process throughout the whole show. Um, I mean the action's cool, I guess
um
But I think it was meant to be in a different language because the the voice or the the mouths don't match up all the time
Uh, but it's set in france. So i'm thinking it's supposed to be a french show
interesting
All right. Yeah, I mean the
The setting and the concept are are interesting
but um
But yeah, so I so like I said she started watching this show and I
Did not do not like the show so I
Ignored it and it would just catch whatever bits because she wanted me to sit and watch with her and i'm like no
I'm playing with my phone
um
so she
She wanted to watch the movie and I was like
Okay, fine. Whatever. So I turn on the movie
She comes crawls up and like is laying with me and so I start watching the movie with her
And the movie has no business being as good as it is
All right, the movie is a freaking banger
Banger so it's a it's a musical like it has musical elements to it, which it does not tie into the show at all
Oh, okay. The show is not
Element based it's more like creature of the week
Uh type situation where so there's a bad guy
Like let me just give you the premise of the show. Okay
For so he has a magical ring
And she has magic earrings
They activate them and they gain these superpowers for x amount of time
Um, if they have this like ultimate power that they can use
Um, but if they do utilize that power it like drains their battery on their
Uh
Whatever you want to call it
Like it drains their their their battery
So they kind of have to like they'll use it
They'll fight a little bit longer and then their ring or their earrings will beep and then they're like, okay gotta go and then they'll scoot
What's interesting about this is that?
Neither of them know
Who the other is
Interesting they are like in in the real world. Yeah
um
But they
Have to like fight together because their powers are stronger together
So it's really interesting but it's weird because it's like they're also friends
in the real world
Huh? Okay, so
They don't know so it's it's weird because it's like they're friends. They don't know who each other's
Alter ego is but they're also friends friends as superheroes
Huh is the craziest shit and seriously, but I I love it
And
So the show just kind of plays on that and I feel that it does it better
um
So they they turned like a mystical element to it where there's these things called the like these miraculous
or it's a thing called a miraculous and
It gives them certain powers
Okay, one of
So his dad ends up being the bad guy in the in this movie
And he's the main bad guy in the show, but I don't know if he's the if he's the his dad in the show
Like I haven't been able to like catch on to that yet
but
In the show he has the these power like he has a bunch of butterflies that can control people
But if he evilizes one of these
glowy butterflies
it can go and fly into someone who has like
Ill wishes or just negative feelings and it enhances them and turns them into some sort of like villain of the week
Huh? Okay
But in this it's like it's the same concept
But he just like instead of it there being a bunch of butterflies
He only has like he only summons one at a time
and then he puts them in and then they turn into monsters that they have to fight and
blah blah blah kind of cool, but the soundtrack is freaking baller
The animation is beautiful and like I said, it enhances the story of the show tenfold
Makes it so much more bearable to watch
All right, and
Yeah, I think they they do everything about this way better than the show
way better than the show
And I like I told braille after I watched I'm like what the fuck
Like this is messed up how good this movie is compared to the trash show
Oh shit, I can't say how many times I've freaking been played like that
Like anytime i'm told hey watch or
Or like this movie is actually really good and i'm like, okay. Well i've seen the show and betcha it's not
Like i'm always proving wrong
But yeah, this movie is actually freaking great if you want to watch it super interesting concept, um
I have no idea how they don't know
like it's it's just one of those things you have to suspend your
your levels of disbelief a little bit because
Because they look exactly like they do
in their human forms as they do in their like
The only difference like she doesn't even change her hairstyle
Like her hairstyle is the same her the I mean the color is the same. The only difference is she has a mask
And so she reveals her identity to him at the end of the movie and she he's just like what?
Like you're so dumb
So it's kind of like the incredibles it is basically like the incredibles. Yes
At least the only one that tries in the incredibles is freaking violet
At least she actually like puts a headband on so her like hair isn't you know, like in her face
So I guess like she kind of is a little different than her barely. Yeah
But everybody else it's literally just a freaking mask
Yeah, i'm like
With mr. Incredible specifically it's like who are you fooling?
Oh
But yeah, like this show is or I do not recommend the show whatsoever
like it is
garbage
But this movie is pretty freaking baller
all right
and
Man, like I said, I can't tell you how many times i've been caught off guard by these damn movies
Because it dude it's done it to me like a bunch like the the my little pony
Like they had a my like a new like it's more recent but uh, a my little pony movie
And it that was freaking awesome
Like it was a really good movie and I was like, hey i'll turn on the show for for iris
I bet you'll love it the mood or the show is is garbage
I'm just like what the fuck
I feel that i'm not saying I would just because you know, it's not my age demographic and I might feel a little weird
Um, but I feel i'd be the same not like story because the story but I feel i'd be the same way with like paw patrol
Dude, paw patrol is garbage too. Really? Uh the show. Oh like okay. It's not like
garbage garbage, but it's it's not good because like comparing the animation of the movies to the show
I'm like, oh god, it's like freaking night and day
Yeah, like the animation in the movies is freaking great. It looks awesome. But then you see the show you're just like
I'll tell you what I feel
These like what this has done for the show or for the movies
is
Because they're adapting something that's a show
And they're just taking those characters and giving them a better
paint job, I think that they what what's happening is that they don't have to drop as big of a budget
towards modeling
And setting up the skeletons and everything
And like they don't have to spend so much money doing that so they could put even more money
towards the compositions and the backgrounds and
Like all of the the lighting like all of all of the stuff that makes
This look good. Yeah
And so they're able to drop more money into that they don't like there's a lot less wasted time
So they can just dive into a story
It like maybe that's loosely adapted off of off of this
off of the show's bullshit
Because like I said in the in the show
The main villain is just some rando dude
As far as I'm aware, I don't know if they established at some point or whatever. I wasn't paying attention
But in the show, it seems like he's just some rando dude
And so in this they they connected katnoir to the main bad guy
Okay, and
Then they turned uh
They kind of established what their
What his powers are versus hers a little bit better and again, it's just something I don't know if if they've established it
So he has the like so it's they're like yin and yang like that's what their
Miraculous his abilities are
It's like yin and yang so she has the power of creation
And she and he has the power of destruction
Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
He has the power of destruction
So he has the ability to like
make things
Um
like break apart
And he like shows this power off
Um and accidentally like destroys the eiffel tower and then she's able to use her abilities at the end to like
fix everything
So like the creation destruction and it's freaking it's it's cool
Yeah, and it's like interesting how it ties in to
their
Their personal stories too because in the show it's just whatever like that's just how their powers work, but
Dude, whoever freaking wrote this movie is a freaking genius
so
That's kind of like what her ability so in the show her ability she like uses her ability
And then it just kind of gives her something that she might need
And then she has to figure out how to use that object
Huh, okay, and it's
It's so
It is so dumb like because sometimes she'll get like a spoon and she's like
I don't know what to do with it and then she'll figure out some bullshit
Thing to use the spoon for and then it's like so it's just something random
And then his like anything he touches like breaks
Okay, and so they adapted that to the whole destruction and creation
and so she's able to like because like
The final battle like basically levels the city and she's able to like build it back up
After he's basically like destroyed it fighting his dad and then their personal lives. He's trying to like
Tear down his like sadness
Yeah, where she's trying to build up her confidence and i'm like there's destruction and creation again. I'm like god damn it
What the hell is this movie?
It it messes with me on a level I do not care for
Oh shit
Because like it's just like I started stewing on it after and then
Of course iris being a freaking three-year-old wants to watch it a billion times
So i've I actually ended up watching this three and a half times this week
Damn, and I was taking something from it each time. I was watching it. I'm just like god damn it
Oh shit like I said this movie has no business being as good as it is
Uh, but it is so I actually really liked it and I would absolutely pay to see this in theaters
I love it, even though it is a netflix movie. Uh, so yes, I will be giving ladybug and cat noir the movie
A five-dollar tuesday recommendation
As much as that freaking kills me. Oh shit. I love it
Yeah, I had to save that one for last because I had the most to say about this
movie see that it's aggravating it is aggravating how good her shows can be oh shit, dude
Yeah, but nothing will ever top louis. I'm just gonna say that right now
Nothing will ever top louis. Yep
I am absolutely in agreeance with that
Yeah
Um, yeah, oh yeah forgot i'm leaving yeah, I was like wait i'm not leaving this one
All right, well
With that, um
Let's say we finally get into uh, this week's episode. Let's do it. All right
All righty
Getting into this week's breakdown
Uh, we will be breaking down migration. Unfortunately, I once again
Uh forgot the question of the week
So we do not have any responses for that to go over
Um, so we'll be getting straight into
This week's breakdown
Um, so 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
Typically we do effects but with this one we are going to be discussing animation
Because it's an animated movie duh
Uh, then we will be discussing the music
the
Typically we do costumes but again this being animated we are going to be talking about the character design
And then we will be giving or discussing our own personal score at the very end
all those numbers will get magically added up and spit through our algorithm and give us a
Letter grade to compare this movie to others of a similar grade
As well as a percentage, uh that gives us a ranking but that's not quite as important, but it is fun
yes
Very much. So yeah
uh, so
Starting off and with a spoiler warning
Uh, if you have not seen migration, we will be posting that spoiler warning now
Um rose is about to spoil the entire movie for you in our favorite segment that we like to call reading with rose
Uh, so with that rose, would you like to
Take us away I would love to
In a new england forest anxious mac mallard constantly discourages kid

To oh my god. I'm off to a great start
Much to the displeasure of his wife pam
One day the mallards meet a flock of migrating ducks who are on route route
Geez south to jamaica, which the family finds interesting, but mac has no such interest
Pam tells mac that he must open his eyes to the world outside him that night mac talks with his aging uncle dan
Who also does not want to leave the pond
However, uncle dan makes mac second guess his stance and he decides to let his family migrate with uncle dan joining them at quinn's behest
However, they end up going north instead of south
During a rainstorm they take up shelter in a swamp underneath a boardwalk where they encounter a crazed elderly harren named arron

chump leads them to her friend delroy a macaw who is from jamaica but lives caged by a human chef that owns him
Wanting to set delroy free mac and pam infiltrate the restaurant where the chef works to acquire a key to his cage
After evading the humans they manage to get the key and free delroy who gratefully guides them to jamaica
While guin stops for a bathroom break mac soon finds an entrance to a paradise full of perkins
Sorry peckins

Dax helps the peckins and his family escape the farm

On the weekends, he and his family are seated in the boxing ring

the chef is knocked unconscious by a squash hitting a button that causes the helicopter to drop out pam and mac
Still stuck in their cage
of the other birds feathers. Both father and son silently reconcile. Now led by Dax, the
birds eventually arrive in Jamaica where Delroy reunites with his friends and the Mallards
catch up with the duck family who visited their pond earlier. The following spring,
the family is about to head for home when Max shows them a group of penguins trying
to get to the South Pole. I was a great I love that. I love that they acknowledge at
the end that they're like we created a monster. Oh, man. Dude, I, I think I have a soft spot
in my heart for this movie. Like it's just one of those like classic telling of a of
a kind of a like a basic plain old family vacation story. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's
good. Like there's nothing like there's nothing too original about this, but I feel like that
works in its favor and it's just letting you experience the personality of this family.
Yeah, exactly. It's an animated movie that plays it safe. But like you said, it works
in its favor. And because the story is simplistic, you get to know these characters, I feel on
more of a personal level, especially the core family. Like, yeah, just getting to know this
father son, daughter and mother family I freaking loved from beginning to end. Their dynamic
was fantastic. And when like right before the credits started rolling, when you see
where each character ends up, you're happy with it. Yeah, they are. Yeah, you definitely
do. It's unfortunately, I'm going to say that the story is going to be one of the weaker
aspects of this film. Like this is very character driven, not really story driven. Yes, I definitely
agree with that. Yeah, so it's like I said, it's definitely on the weaker side. It is
very plain Jane. It is very like, oh, stubborn dad ends up giving in and a lot like going
on a vacation with his family. Hijinks ensues, but they end up making it to where they're
wanting to be. And then this then dad's like changed his tune. And he's like, Yay, vacation,
like let's go do more. And like, there's nothing there. Like, ultimately, there's nothing too
original about it. Yeah. Like, it kind of feels like I mean, I can name a bunch of movies
that do most of them are holiday movies. But dude, I would have laughed my ass off if the
first song I started playing my credits rolled holiday road holiday road. I would have laughed
my ass off. Big music just bumped up a point for me. Yeah, shit. Unfortunately, this is
what I don't know if it's even crack the 80s for me. That's simply because like I said,
it's not a very original story. But it the only thing I would say that's even somewhat
original about it would be the fact that it's ducks. But there's this other movie on Netflix
that I forgot to add to my weekly watch that was released in 2018 called Duck Duck Goose,
which is basically exactly what this movie was. Oh, kinda, kinda. Okay. So the biggest
difference was it was geese instead of ducks and duck duck goose. And this cocky goose
was trying to migrate, but he hurt his wing. And so he brings these children along to basically
act as a not not necessarily bait, but because he felt like he knew it was dangerous to get
to this safe haven without flying. And so he's just like, Okay, well, I don't need to
be fast. Like, I don't need to be faster than the predator to make it to the haven. I just
got to be faster than whoever I bring along with me. And so he brought these little ducklings
and it was messed up. It was messed up. But it was it was okay. But it made me feel like
gave me some very heavy migration vibes to it. And I was just like, Oh, that's not great.
Yeah. But I mean, it kind of followed the same shit. Like he ends up somewhere that
he's not supposed to be like ends up going the wrong direction or whatever. The ducklings
end up going to like some Chinese restaurant and like are about to get cooked up. And I'm
like, Okay, kind of a dark turn for a kids movie. But let's see where you're going. I
mean, can you really go any darker than freaking Toy Story three when literally we almost got
them almost watch them get incinerated? Fair point. Fair point. But yeah, so this one,
I'm not too high. I'm sitting maybe like 77. You know what I was gonna be like, I think
I'm just gonna be one point lower than you at a 76. Fair enough. All right. Next up we
got writing. This wasn't half bad. It wasn't. I will admit like with the family, you definitely
get a lot of stereotypes in there. You get the the little sister that embarrasses his
brother. Sorry, embarrasses her brother, especially around his crush, you know, get that kind
of stuff. But I will admit it led to some really, it led to some laugh out moments,
laugh out loud moments for me because the part where freaking Gwen strips just like,
he thought of you when he was sleeping to the the bird that Dax has a crush on. I laughed
a little too loud. Okay, that was good. I don't think anybody else laughed. I was the
only one in the audience that laughed. That's messed up. You people. That's freaking hilarious.
Dude, my favorite shit was like the opening when he was sharing this, like the the bedtime
story. And then he's like, Yeah, but the ducklings died. And I started laughing. I'm like, that's
hilarious. I love the the perspective shift, like the what like the recognizable one for
me is my perspective shift in movies like this. Because pre pre Iris, I was always the
I was always on the side of the kid, the one that was just trying to like, make his own
way in the world or like, trying to go do something like something adventurous or whatever.
Like I was always for him, like, like the defiant kid just like, like, I know what I'm
doing better than you do old man. And like that kind of bullshit. Yeah. And as soon as
Iris was born, I started noticing my perspective shifting. And I was just like, No, you don't
know better. So I was, I liked going to go see this with my family. Because so I went,
I took Iris and and Braille came along with us. But I started laughing because I'm just
like, Yeah, like, there's a lot of dangers out in the world for a duck. If you find a
safe haven, you just freaking stay there, bud. And then it's like, I also understood
the the perspective shift that he had when his crazy uncle was just like, Yeah, I've
never left here. And so in such years, like, I'm super happy. Like, I'm here all alone
by myself without my like immediate family. But like, at least I'm safe. And he's just
like, I gotta get out of here. Like, I completely understood that shift in him. Because like,
if I there's like certain people that once you hear like, Oh, yeah, you're doing the
right thing. If you hear that you're doing the right thing from the wrong person, nothing
will make you shift your faster. And that's exactly how I felt. I'm just like, Yep, he
just got his his point of view confirmed by the wrong person and was like, Yes, what we're
doing the opposite. So I found that to be like, super funny. I'm trying to think the
I really like the the interaction with the pigeons when they got to New York.
That was good. I mean, we'll get to this with voice acting. But I thought that Aquafina,
even though everyone thinks she's annoying, I, for the most part, I feel that all of her
roles her voices fit with it. I feel this one especially, I definitely fit way more
with this and scuttle. Dude, scuttle was a bad decision. Yeah. But that is something
that we did discuss in our Little Mermaid breakdown. So if you guys want to hear our
thoughts on that, go check it out. Yeah. Oh, man. But yeah, I agree with you there. She's
I understand why she's getting cast in these roles, because she does have a very iconic
voice. I think the one that I feel is working the best for her. And I know we've only seen
the trailer so far. But her character and Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu. Wow. Kung Fu Panda
four. You are not wrong there. I think it's really working there. And I really look forward
to seeing what they what they do with her character in that movie. Yeah, same here.
I mean, the rest of the humor. I mean, there was definitely stuff that was like, laugh
out loud and, and whatnot. But I don't know, like the the the rest of the writing, it was
it was good. It wasn't like exceptional by any means, though. No, that's fair. Like there
were definitely like standout scenes that like, the writing was very strong. Like when
they're in the home we go, what is that giant bird's name?
The parent? No, it wasn't the heron. Oh, yeah. So that was funny. Yeah, frickin the writing
when they're in her house with her husband. All of that was great. Freakin love that writing.
I'm curious, how did you feel about how with with the chef that he was voiceless, like
didn't say didn't say anything? I didn't mind that. I didn't either. Like I was half expecting
that he was finally going to say something at the end, which I'm glad that he didn't.
I feel that for the type of villain that they set him up as, which he's definitely just
like a one off, like very, you could easily. What's the Yeah, no, he's a one off villain.
Like I don't know. Like when it comes to, I guess, like illuminations villains, honestly,
like I put him at the bottom just because he's a chef that wants to like, I get why
he, you know, goes after them. But what's messed up, though, he was only a villain from
their perspective. In his perspective, he was just hunting down what he paid for.
True that. Yeah, that's a very good point. I'm like, dude, homeboys just trying to make
a living. Yeah. Okay. Oh, I meant to include this with story, but I guess I could with
writing. This movie actually did surprise me. Maybe maybe just I'm not good with calling
this stuff out that like when they're at the sanctuary and you know, the chef shows up
and you know, like he tries to catch Dax, but oh my god, what's the dad's name? Mac,
right? Yeah. Mac comes in, you know, you know, saves them everything. When they went in the
next scene when they they, they take rest at a hotel. And Gwen and Dax are the only
ones that are up, I half expected the chef to just show up and just grab decks and for
freaking bounce, like that's what was gonna happen. I did not expect for him to literally
take everybody else except for Dax and, and his sister, like, so, like, on movie kind
of caught me off guard with that. So you know, I guess kudos to the writing team for like,
catching me off guard. Maybe that's something I should have caught or like, it wasn't really
that big of a surprise. But for me, it was. No, I was I was fully expecting them to be
caught exclusively. Yeah, okay. But yeah, I agree. I thought it was a very welcome change
from what like, from what I was expecting. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, I didn't catch on to
that either. I thought they were going to be caught and then mom and dad were going
to have to go rescue them and all that good stuff. I'm not the only one. Yeah. Writing,
though, I this one, it's it's barely higher than story for me. It's really good. But it's
not good enough for me to like, justify it cracking into the 80s. This I'm sitting maybe
79. I think I'll match you there. All right, moving on over to acting. First up, we have
Kumail Nanjiani, who plays Mac Mallard. Then we have Elizabeth Banks, who voices Pam. Then
we have Danny DeVito, who voices Uncle Dan. Then we have Casper Jennings, who voices Dax.
Unfortunately, he is someone that we did not have a picture for. Yeah. So we're just going
to throw in his character's picture. Yeah. Yeah. And then we have Tracy Ghazal, who voices
Gwen. Same thing. Yeah. And yeah, honestly, like this was a really well put together cast.
And I feel like if you need like crazy old guy, the go to is always frickin Danny DeVito.
Dude, seriously. Like, oh my God, I'd love Danny DeVito so much. He's amazing. Yeah, I
mean, dude, there's nothing this guy can't do. Seriously. Like, even if you hate a movie,
it's very it's Danny DeVito's performance is usually saying that it's going to be the
highlight of the movie. He even if it's even if it is a phoned in performance, which I
don't think I've ever seen him do one. I know he gives it 100%. He really tries and everyone.
Yeah, it's it's always going to be one of the best parts of the movies. Agreed. Definitely.
Definitely. You're in with you there. All right. What's your top three look like? Top three.
So unfortunately, Danny DeVito is not in my top three. Like, he was good. But there were
some others that took that spot. Number three, I would give to Tracy Ghazal, played Gwen.
She was freaking hilarious. Absolutely loved her. She was adorable. Just like, like, amazing
young voice actress, like, great, great job. Number two, funny delivery, dude, seriously,
hers and Casper's. Like, I don't know if they recorded in the same, same booth, same recording
booth. But their freaking chemistry was so good. When it came to a brother sister dynamic,
like freaking great. I absolutely loved it. Oh, my gosh, dude. Anytime that they started
fighting and she started yelling, he's hitting me, he's hitting me. Like, that was that felt
like it was like delivered through experience. Dude, seriously.
Number two, I'll give to Casper Jennings played Dax. He was freaking great. Yeah, he had some
of my favorite lines in the movie. And just the whole situation with him trying to impress
the one girl bird from the flock that flies in tries to get them to go to Jamaica. And
his his sister just chiming in with that freaking comedic gold and like some of the best parts
of the movie. I absolutely loved it. But then number one, I got to give to Kamau Nanjiani
played Mac. He was fantastic in this. Honestly, I think he needs to do more voice acting because
I think he does, too. He did a great job here. He does a great job of being a worried parent.
He's funny when he needs to be just all around. Great, great performance from Kamau. Like,
I mean, honestly, I feel he can never do anything wrong. He's a great actor and he really should
do more voice acting. Dude, do you want to see him in easily? He is a very underappreciated
actor. Do you like have you seen the big sick? No, I haven't. Holy balls, dude. Holy balls.
His performance in that is freaking incredible. Like incredible. Yeah, I'm given my number
one to Kumail as as well. I think he did a really, really great job delivering all of
the lines that he needed to in the emotional way that he needed to. Loved his performance.
I'm going to agree with you on my number two, which is actually, oh, jeez, which is actually
your number three, Tracy Giselle. I loved her. She was such a fun character. I thought
she was hilarious. And any line that she had was just pure gold. Yeah, so I'm giving her
my number two. And then my number three, I'm going to be given a Danny DeVito. That's fair.
It was a really, really close third. It honestly could have been a coin flip between him and
Casper. But Danny DeVito, dude, you can't freaking beat Danny DeVito. It's true. And
then just like a freaking little shout out to Elizabeth Banks. Her performance is Pam
was great. Yes, absolutely. It just I just don't think it was on the same level as everyone
else. Yeah, that's right. Still great performance. Yeah, fantastic performance. So this is definitely
one that I feel is a higher point. So I would say after I'd probably given eighty four.
I'm going to match you there, too, man. All right. Next up, we got character development,
which with this has to be done on Mac. Yeah, definitely. Like Mac is definitely the one
that goes through the biggest change. I would say he's not very adventurous at the beginning,
like at all. Doesn't want to do anything dangerous, doesn't want to leave his pond or put his
family in any sort of unnecessary risk as any sane person would. And then he gets his
beliefs like he gets one. He gets more or less guilted into going on this vacation or
taking it or migrating with his family. And he doesn't want to because he's afraid of
like the risks and whatnot. But he's also it's interesting to see two things that someone
is that someone values being challenged at the same time. Like he his ultimate fear was
losing his family. And so that was I feel like that's where this was more character
driven because where it wasn't really attacking his his character, it was just putting two
different forms of losing his family on the table and him having to basically choose which
one he was willing to accept. And which I thought was was great storytelling. I agree.
Because I mean, on one hand, his family is safe, but he's driving his family away. And
so eventually, he feels like they're going to it's like impressed upon him by Uncle Dan
that his family is going to end up taking off and leaving him behind because they want
to go on this grand adventure. And so he's just going to be stuck at the pond, like live
in a very lonely life, where on the other hand, he's super worried about their safety
while doing all this. So it's like, both things are being challenged. And so he ultimately
chooses to take the risky journey, but him being able to be there with his family. And
so I love that, like that challenge of character, or just his motivations, just the the fact
that they didn't only put loss of family by death on the table. Yes. And I really appreciate
that. Yeah, like re really well told, really well told. But yeah, I like I like that a
lot. And then everyone else seemed to go through their own like little character growth to
the wife, maybe not so much like she was one that was very stationary, probably for the
better. Yeah, that's true. I mean, she does have that moment towards the end, like where
she's actually like willing to just give up, but then Mac talks her out of it. So I appreciate
maybe that just like that little shift for just a moment in her character. But yeah,
other than that, really not not too much. Loved everything that they did with Dax. I
thought next to Mac, he was he had the most character to character, character arc, in
my opinion. I see that too. This is very this is very much a father son driven film. Yes.
Like they do have some stuff with with the sister and the and the mom, but it was mostly
driven about the father and son and their relationship. I would say you don't really
see that a lot. I feel so. Yeah. I mean, you see like mother son a lot, I would say. Yeah.
Mother daughter a ton. Oh, yeah. But yeah, you don't really see father son too often.
I feel it really needs to be touched upon more as father daughter. I agree. Like that,
like totally being bias here. Yeah, that needs to be right. That really needs to because
yeah, that is something that you don't see a lot in media, in movies, TV shows and needs
to be out there more because it's it's amazing. A connection, the connection that a father
and a daughter can have. It's it's a beautiful thing. So yeah, dude, I feel like a majority
of the father daughter relationships that you see. And I know that there's probably
better ones out there, but most of them are just like, oh, my daughter's going to a woman.
I can't handle it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's fricking bullshit. Yeah. I'm like,
sure, that shit's not easy. Like, I can't OK, I can't imagine it being easy. But it's
something that you kind of have to get over. And oh, my gosh, dude, funny enough, the scene
that really like exemplifies that for me is is funny from the Big Bang Theory. Really?
Yeah. There's a scene where it just kind of like plays into what the father daughter like
cliche relationship is. And it's sad. It's and it's where frickin Penny is talking to
Leonard's mother and talking about how she was kind of like her. Her father always wanted
a son. And so they were like she was raised playing catch in the front yard with her dad.
But like when she got older and stop or like got her first training bra, he stopped playing
catch with her. And and I'm like, dude, that like that blow like that's. But yeah. And
yeah, for whatever reason, that's that's the scene that like sticks out and is like super
cliched for me. And so, yeah, I want something that's like father daughter driven. That's
not like. Concerned about. And this is something that maybe it's just. I'm excited to see how
father daughter relationships grow, like as I get older, just like to see if I can relate
to any of them a bit more. But yeah, I think father father daughter needs to be touched
on a lot more in film. But yeah, so I mean, the the the side characters for sure are definitely
the daughter and the mother. Yes. So the there's more character driven moments between father
and son here. Absolutely. But I mean, the the store, I mean, the stories aren't bad.
They're not at all. Again, it's it's one of those it's it's slightly cliche, but I think
it's done well enough that it does keep you very interested and you can pull things from
like the life lessons that these characters learn. Yeah, no, I agree. So where are you
sitting with characters? I think I'd probably be like slightly lower than my acting score.
I'd still be in the 80s, though. So I think I'm going to be like I think I'll be at a
solid 80. That is actually exactly where I was sitting as well. Hell, yeah. All right.
Next up, we got animation. This was I feel this is one of Illumination's best looking
movies when it comes to animation. I know Illumination will get they'll get so much
shit for the Despicable Me, not Despicable Me movies necessarily, but the minions, just
how annoying they are, which I'm not going to argue. They frickin minions ruin Despicable
Me for me. Like I have a hard time watching those movies, even though I enjoy them, especially
the first one, the second and third are OK, but the first one is so frickin good. But
just the minions ruin it for how overutilized they've been in Illumination's catalog. So
when they actually come out with an original movie, you kind of get excited for it. And
so when with with migration, the animation is absolutely beautiful here. Yeah, it's you
know, it's no Pixar, but there's nothing wrong with that. I think Pixar has Pixar has come
to they're like the standard. I feel they're like the top standard when it comes to animated
films and just how realistic they look. But when it comes to, you know, like maybe like
second third place, not knocking any of these studios, I feel Illumination is definitely
there either above Dreamworks or like right behind them. No, not anymore. No. OK. They
I think they used to at one point, not anymore. So would you put Dreamworks above or below?
I would put Dreamworks above because for like Puss in Boots and stuff like that for Puss
in Boots, the bad guys, like a lot of their more recent films that have really upped their
animation game. That's fair. OK, I can agree with that. But I feel if there's one thing
that Illumination is really good at, it's what's the I mean, I feel it's it's they're
really good with like textures, I guess, like with hair, like stuff like that. I feel Illumination
does a really good job with that kind of stuff. And here it was no exception. Like with the
like the feathers on the ducks, they look fantastic. Like, I should look so freaking
good. Yeah. Yeah, you're definitely not wrong there. Yeah, no, animation was great. One
of the best looking Illumination movies, in my opinion. So I like for the scenes that
they were showing. And I'm just talking like in general, I feel like they could have given
us a lot more atmospheric. Feels like I'm just kind of like more or less comparing to
like how Mario's introduction to the Mushroom Kingdom was that looked stunning. True, true
that. But this wasn't quite on that level. That is fair. I think that they were missing
some lighting elements in this. More like some of that dynamic lighting. Like I think
some like really good shots would have been like that like from a shot from them from
like underneath, where they have their wings extended with like some sun rays, like shining
through their their feathers. Like I thought I think that would have looked really good.
Like they were I think they were just missing some like really like engrossing shots that
would have just amplified this movie a ton. That's fair. Fair enough. But other than that,
I mean, the animation was okay. It's not my favorite in the world. No, it was. It was
okay. For sure. Definitely like one of the high points here. Absolutely. I don't know
about you. I'm personally around. I was going to give it an 87. I think I'm leaning more
towards an 88. It's feeling nice. Yeah, you know, like, I do. I'm feeling the same way.
All right, next up we got music. I mean, nothing like super special here. I feel like the ending
song that they had when the whole family was dancing in Jamaica. That was cool. That was
a pretty good song. I like the song when they were taking off from the pond. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
that one was a good one too. Yeah, it's just it's just I don't think they picked any songs
or had an original enough score for it to just really get like captured in your mind.
Yeah. No, I agree that there weren't any songs that I'm like, Oh, you know, I got to find
out what that song was so I can add it to my Spotify account. Yeah. So unfortunately,
I think this is one of their weaker categories. So I'm probably sitting around a seven. Yeah,
that's what I was thinking too. All right, next up we got character design. I mean, considering
that this is a movie that is solely based around ducks, I feel with what they could
change, I mean, because there's really not a lot you can change, you want it to really
look like a duck close to what that type of duck is. And so maybe like the little changes
that that they would make, you know, like making him a little more distinguishable,
like what they did with Uncle Dan, you know, characters like that, I feel definitely added
to to the designs and made them I don't want to say a little more fun to look at, but just
I guess. I don't know. I feel like they added personality to the faces. There we go. They're
like Uncle Dan just I mean, had that like rundown look ever like all the the faces were
had like that original face and they're very distinguishable. Yeah, which if like I've
always said with with costumes, you want a good silhouette. And I think with this movie,
you have a really solid silhouette of these characters. I think seeing these characters
like together silhouette style, I would be able to distinguish this movie from other
duck films. Yeah, I agree. So this is I think I would say this one's definitely higher than
where music's sitting. Yeah. But I'm not sure. I think I'm sitting maybe like an eight and
a half. And even that feels high for me. Personally, I'm sitting at a hard eight. I can give you
an eight. I can definitely give you an eight. All right. Last up, we got our own personal
score. So let's hear what you thought of this one first. Okay. You know, honestly, you know,
when Caleb told me that he really enjoyed this movie, I thought I was going to enjoy
it. I usually enjoy every illumination movie. The only ones that I haven't enjoyed are the
minions movies and the Lorax, but we don't talk about the Lorax. But they overall like
illumination has come out with some of my favorite animated films. You know, he got
the two Singh movies to my favorite animated films. So I was pleasantly surprised of how
much I enjoyed migration. I thought it was it was it's it's an animated film that plays
it safe, but it definitely works in its favor. You got really good voice cast, really good
animation. Just I had a good time with it. Do I plan on going back and watching it anytime
soon? Probably not. But like, say if I'm, you know, like scrolling through on Netflix,
there's nothing else to watch. I'll definitely turn this on. If this is on sale for like
10 bucks on Blu Ray, definitely buy it. Just as my collection. It's definitely a movie
I would not add to my collection. Like I said, it's not like the minions movies, even though
I can't say that because I frickin own both minions movies. The hell is wrong with me?
Good Lord, Jonathan. But anyway, yeah, no migration. It was it was good. I had a good
time. So personal score. I think I'm sitting I think I'm going to go at a 78. I think this
is why I definitely liked a little bit more than you. I had a really good time with like
the family dynamic. Again, I came out of this thinking that it was just kind of a plain
Jane movie, but it was the personalities of the ducks that really sold this movie for
me. Again, I really related with the the dad and his his motivations and everything kind
of along those lines. So I really dug that. So I think I'm going to be giving my personal
score in 83. All right. Fair. Yeah. All right. So with that going through our scores real
quick, starting off with story, we ended up at a seventy six point five writing ended up at a seventy nine. Acting is sitting at an eighty four. Character development is sitting at a very sturdy 80. The animation was the high point of this movie, sitting at an eighty eight.
The music is sitting at a seven out of ten. The character design is sitting at an eight
out of ten. And then our personal score ended up averaging out to an eighty point five. So
with that, the final all bros letter grade for migration has come out to a B minus. All
right. Not bad. Yeah. A little on the lower end than I thought it was going to be. Yeah.
I was kind of afraid it was going to be approaching C plus territory, but I'm glad that it's still
in the B area. Yeah, I was kind of afraid of that, too. I'm definitely glad that it
didn't quite reach that that level. Yeah. But yeah, it's a it's a fairly let's see.
OK, sorry. Had a hard time finding that one. No, you're good, man. It's going to say, holy
shit. All right. Yeah. So it is sitting at an eighty one point six two percent. So it's
definitely on the weaker end of our B minus because our cut off for B minus is 80. OK.
So this was I mean, so it's a little it's barely sturdy or. I mean, it's got it's got
that full percentage gap. Yeah. So I mean, it works. It works. So yeah, eighty one point
six two percent. So going through the movies that we have broken down before and comparing
this, this is everything I'm about to list is also a B minus movie. So migration is sitting
below the matrix reloaded. Like barely. So this is a point zero four percent difference.
Wow. Damn. Friggin nuts. Seriously. Yeah. It is sitting below birds of prey and the
fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn. All right. It is below the bad guys. OK. I
can give it that. Yeah, that's fair. It's close, though, like they're they might as well be
on the same level. I mean, they basically are. They're both B minus movies to show.
It's a point two percent difference. And I'm like, yeah, I got I got you. All right. Let's
see. It is also below Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. OK. Which I did rewatch that
one during Christmas with Brielle. And I will agree with that one. All right. It is also
below. Star Wars, Rogue One. OK. Yeah, I can agree with that. Yeah. And it chapter two.
OK. Now go in the opposite direction. It is sitting above the Chronicles of Narnia, the
lion, the witch and the wardrobe. Damn. It is sitting above. Peter Pan and Wendy. Yeah,
I can definitely agree with that. It's sitting above Deadpool two. Oh, shit. Oh, damn. OK.
Oh, my gosh, dude. That's one we need to reexplore. Yeah, I agree. Like it's this there's not
many that I feel are just like totally undeserved. But Deadpool two and Scott Pilgrim are ones
that we need to go reexplore. I recently rewatched Scott Pilgrim. Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. So Deadpool
two leading into Deadpool three. Just be I say yes. Yeah, I absolutely say yes. Cool.
Yeah. So so Deadpool. Yeah. Deadpool two. When Deadpool three comes out, we will do a
rescoring. Yes. And then maybe we'll we'll break down the first Deadpool. Yeah, there
we go. Perfect. Yeah. So yeah, that one that one needs a rescoring real bad. Let's see.
It is also above. Dune. Yeah, I'm cool with that. I think the thing that killed Dune more
than anything was our personal scores. It's it's a beautifully made movie like it. It's
like I can understand like seeing that on the biggest screen possible. Like it movie
is gorgeous, but it is so freaking boring. It very much is. And I am so dude, the only
reason I want to go see part two is because Timothy Chalamet really won me over with Wonka.
Right? Yeah, same here. Same. You bastard. Oh, man. All right. It's sitting above Top
Gun. OK, I can agree with that. And then it is sitting above the 1993 Super Mario Bros.
Yeah, definitely. Way above, in my opinion. Yeah. So that's where it ended up scoring.
Hell, yeah. Not too bad. Yeah, not too bad at all. I like that. It's on the same level
as the bad guys. I like that. Yeah, same here. I thought that was a pretty good. I'm trying
to see like there's not very many other like animated movies that are in the B minus range.
The biggest one being the bad guys. But let's see if there's a Ron's gone wrong is in the
B minus range. All right. Yeah, not much else. That's the only other animated movie. Oh,
that's not true. Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers is in there too. In a B minus. Should be in
a I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. All righty. Well, with that, I believe that wraps
