OK. So when I heard that Tom Hiddleston 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.200 was starring in a Stephen King adapted work called 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.020 The Life of Chuck. Right. I was like, oh, I got 00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:43.079 to see this. This looks interesting. And I watched 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.320 the trailers and I was like, huh, this is these 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.799 are interesting, but I can't quite tell what 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.600 this movie is about.

Right like it is Start 00:02:00.170 --> 00:02:02.650 to finish just a great movie and it's one of 00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:04.810 those ones You got to sit with you're gonna sit 00:02:04.810 --> 00:02:07.329 there and watch it be like what did I just watch? 00:02:07.909 --> 00:02:13.370 right now to be fair to the moviegoing audience 00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:15.050 because I'm about to yell at you in a minute 00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:18.990 movie going audience I Don't know how you market 00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:23.930 this movie, right for me a big movie fan.

And even like, Green Mile was 00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:41.419 good, wasn't great, but it was good. This movie 00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:45.000 was fucking phenomenal. It was so fucking good. 00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:48.919 Like, I still am thinking about how good this 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:57.189 movie is, right? Is Hiddleston as good as he 00:02:57.189 --> 00:03:01.050 is in all the other stuff? Better. Even though 00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:02.469 he doesn't come in until the second act of the 00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:08.449 movie. It's and you watch this movie in the first 00:03:08.449 --> 00:03:10.289 third, you're like, what is happening? Oh, Matthew 00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:13.469 Lillard's in this movie. Like, it's just got 00:03:13.469 --> 00:03:16.610 just stacked with people. And there's so many 00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:18.550 little details as you go through it. You're like, 00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:21.289 oh, oh, I wanted to go see it. I just haven't 00:03:21.289 --> 00:03:24.189 had time. I was going to go see it again to see 00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:28.000 What I missed the first time I watched it because 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.919 what the end I was like, I'm sure I missed stuff 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.120 I'm a hundred percent positive. I missed stuff 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.680 Here's where I'm gonna get mad Okay, because 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.550 I hear movie fans and movie pilots, but movie 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:45.990 fans, too, all the time. Everything's a Marvel 00:03:45.990 --> 00:03:48.270 movie. Everything's this. Everything's that. 00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:50.990 Everything's this. Why can't you guys do something 00:03:50.990 --> 00:03:52.849 new? Why can't we do something different? It's 00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:54.870 not Marvel. That's not an action. It's not fast. 00:03:55.349 --> 00:03:57.689 Mission impossible. Derivative, derivative, derivative. 00:03:58.689 --> 00:04:02.229 Motherfucker. This movie made eight point four 00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:07.330 million dollars. Which let me explain to you 00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:10.129 in this in the world of movies, that is nothing. 00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:17.639 Nothing. Right. They lost their buttholes on 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:27.540 this movie. OK. It's made squat. Everybody gripes 00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:29.680 about nothing new, nothing original, everything's 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.779 derivative, everything's crap. It all has to 00:04:32.779 --> 00:04:37.199 be this big action blockbuster. Right. This is 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.339 the opposite of an action blockbuster This is 00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:42.680 the opposite of a Marvel MCU DC you direct all 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.759 this shit you people complain about but nobody 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.579 saw the fucking movie Except for like me and 00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:55.540 like four other people right So I'll say we get 00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:59.959 these great movies, right? Why do you think Jay? 00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:07.079 Nobody fucking watches them? Well few things 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:12.360 one Marketing it's like you said, it's very easy 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.019 to market a Marvel movie or even wicked Superman 00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:22.459 Superman anything that you can have like a display 00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:26.259 of Like at Target is kind of like what I'm thinking 00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:30.660 if you can create merch and sell it It's probably 00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:37.120 gonna be pretty good and then also I mean The 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.899 reason why Marvel movies do so well is that's 00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.500 just like what the general population really 00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:49.959 is like looking for Like I don't know no one 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.759 I think like one. Yes, it's marketing and then 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.839 second The majority of people do you want these 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.579 like action films? That they can take their children 00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:03.120 to and like you can take your daughter to a Marvel 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.779 movie and you're going to enjoy the Marvel movie 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.480 I'm aware you might not really enjoy the my little 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:14.860 pony princess movie. I don't know but Yeah, I 00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:17.980 I Mean I could get into like a whole kind of 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.139 rabbit hole of like that's where we're at. Let's 00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:22.660 rabbit hole We got time you guys and while we're 00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:24.160 rabbit hole they go and throw in those topics 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.519 folks Because I I love somebody in the twitch 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.550 chat just did a great jane silent bob quote Right 00:06:30.550 --> 00:06:32.430 from James Silent Bob strike back. You got to 00:06:32.430 --> 00:06:34.569 do the safe picture. Then you do the art picture. 00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:36.490 Then sometimes you got to do the paycheck picture 00:06:36.490 --> 00:06:39.269 because your friend says you owe him. Love that. 00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:41.990 Love that quote. Absolutely love that. So thank 00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:46.949 you for throwing that in there. Nice. Go down 00:06:46.949 --> 00:06:52.149 your rabbit hole. Here we go. I I think we have 00:06:52.149 --> 00:06:56.089 fucked ourselves. Sorry. Put the children away. 00:06:57.290 --> 00:07:01.339 Go ahead and pause this if you're We're demonetized. 00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:06.040 We're demonetized. I think we have fucked ourselves. 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.720 Our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.319 No one can sit or I can't say no one. The majority 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.899 of people can not sit through a hour and a half 00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:17.420 or two and a half hour movie. That's a super 00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:21.920 deep movie that doesn't have like, I don't know. 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.240 Fucking explosions and transformers coming out 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:32.420 of. You know someone's tits. I'm sorry But yeah, 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.319 I think that's why kind of where we're at is 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.620 the majority of people do not have the attention 00:07:36.620 --> 00:07:39.579 span to sit through these like really in -depth 00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:42.699 like movies that make you question and go holy 00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:48.379 shit like Am I an alien? You know like I don't 00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:51.060 know that's that's my like personal personal 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:54.199 thought because we're all Conditioning ourselves 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.099 every single day to scroll on social media And 00:07:58.099 --> 00:08:00.459 I think the majority of people don't realize 00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:04.060 it, but you're doing it to yourselves and you 00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:06.500 think it's making yourself happy and it's fucking 00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.839 not. And here's the thing. I am one of those 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.480 people. I spend a lot of time on social media. 00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.279 I spend a lot of time on the TikToks and the 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.259 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And yes, 00:08:15.259 --> 00:08:17.939 I do. I have in recent months found myself getting 00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:19.720 bored at movies where I'm like, come on, speed 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.399 it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. But when I 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.139 think about like when I went and saw Life of 00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:27.819 Chuck, right? It was the first time I'd been 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:31.740 to a movie in a long time and not once did I 00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:36.159 go How much longer is this movie, right? Like 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.860 it I was riveted the whole fucking film, right? 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.539 And the best way I can describe it is it is a 00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:48.279 meditation on life Right, but it doesn't feel 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.580 preachy and it's also not negative. It's a positive 00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:57.419 meditation on life That makes you feel better 00:08:57.419 --> 00:09:07.539 about life and death Like And again, I wasn't 00:09:07.539 --> 00:09:10.700 bored at all Right. What I'm saying is is how 00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:14.360 do you convince people to go back? I don't necessarily 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.120 think you're wrong. But again, I think that there 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:21.480 are great films out there that That I think would 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.259 would bring people back to the cinema. How do 00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:29.440 we get them back in the fucking door? I don't 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.440 know. I mean, that that is a probably a multimillion 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:39.820 dollar question. Other question. Now, I will 00:09:39.820 --> 00:09:44.840 say this, to be fair, for this year's box office 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.669 stuff, I'm actually a little surprised. So, by 00:09:47.669 --> 00:09:49.870 this point last year, we had movies joining the 00:09:49.870 --> 00:09:52.970 billion dollar club, right? Now, most of them 00:09:52.970 --> 00:09:56.730 are all derivative. This year, we have not, right? 00:09:56.929 --> 00:09:59.970 That Nezha 2's box office is very much in question 00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:03.389 because it's not independently verified. So, 00:10:03.429 --> 00:10:06.009 while Box Office Mojo is reporting it as reported, 00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:12.899 please note that Nezha 2 is not verified. So 00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:14.899 let's go to our top one after that. Minecraft 00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.860 movie didn't hit a billion. Did well, extremely 00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:20.759 well. Lilo and Stitch. I'm surprised that hasn't 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.399 hit a billion, but it's only 50 million away. 00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:25.539 It's still in theaters. I think it's gonna break 00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:30.279 it. And then it's a big jump down. Mission Impossible, 00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:33.279 563. How to Train Your Dragon's still out. I 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.620 think it'll get to six. Captain America really 00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:39.279 underperformed Thunderbolts for as good as it 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.840 was. And it was a great fucking movie. Probably 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.460 the best MCU movie in the last couple of years. 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.340 It really underperformed sinners. I think did 00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:50.679 about what it was supposed to. But again, you're 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.620 talking Snow White is the top 10 in the top 10 00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:56.240 this year so far. Like it's going to fall out 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.360 because of F1. It's going to jump over it. But 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.419 Mickey 17 came out this year again. Newer stuff 00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:06.940 different things and nobody fucking saw it Karate 00:11:06.940 --> 00:11:11.620 Kid legends derivative, but getting good Elio, 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:14.100 I think Elio we're gonna see what kind of wings 00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:17.779 what kind of sorry what kind of legs Elio has 00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:21.740 that's gonna be interesting Somebody in the in 00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:25.049 the Twitch chat mentioned the episode three re 00:11:25.049 --> 00:11:26.889 -release, which did very, very well for them. 00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:28.669 It made fifty five million dollars. And I too 00:11:28.669 --> 00:11:30.710 went to see it, mostly because I wanted my daughter 00:11:30.710 --> 00:11:34.429 to see Star Wars in a movie theater because it's 00:11:34.429 --> 00:11:37.330 a different experience in the movie theater. 00:11:42.809 --> 00:11:47.570 Yeah. I don't know. But here's the other thing. 00:11:47.570 --> 00:11:49.230 Again, I'm going to come back to this. If you 00:11:49.230 --> 00:11:53.840 are out there griping about people about what 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.379 Hollywood's making, Hollywood's going to make 00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:59.759 what you're paying them to make. And if all you 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.779 pay them to make is the Minecraft movie, that's 00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:08.059 all they're going to make. Right. You you you 00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:13.000 you you have to go see the other ones. It reminds 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.559 me of the Zemeckis one I saw last year that nobody 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.620 else saw.
