00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Welcome everybody to the Polarize Podcast.

2
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Hey, glad you made it here.

3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,520
This is a podcast about polarizing movies.

4
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,400
Polarizing in the sense of rotten tomato scores.

5
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,480
Sometimes critics love it.

6
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,760
Sometimes they hate it.

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,480
But here at this podcast, we talk about those movies.

8
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,760
Today we're talking about where the crawdad's saying.

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,080
It's a polarizing movie.

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,160
You're just joining us for the first time.

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,160
Hey, welcome.

12
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,880
Glad to have you here.

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,160
I'm your host Brandon Stables.

14
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,040
We're going to be talking about this movie.

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,960
Where the crawdad's saying has a rotten tomato score.

16
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,880
Critics 35%.

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Audience 96%.

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,800
And I'm not the only host of this podcast.

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,240
Now I'm going to introduce the co-hosts sometimes referred to as the forever guest.

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Mr. James Lensie, how's it going?

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Hey, how's it going?

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,240
What's up?

23
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Hello, everybody.

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,240
Welcome to Polarize Podcast.

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Hey.

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Where are those crawdad's singing today?

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,240
Let's find out.

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,240
We're talking polarizing movies.

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Let's go, baby.

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Wow.

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,240
So you brought the opposite energy of what I was bringing to this episode.

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,240
So, yeah, you know, we don't normally start the podcast with this type of voice.

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240
Me, me introducing things the way that I did.

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,240
But, you know, just like how this movie introduced itself, it's just going to be a nice, sultry

35
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,240
video over what's happening.

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,240
And James, on the other hand, decided to bring the exact opposite.

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,240
Let's fucking go another episode of Polarize Podcast.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,240
Woo!

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Yeah!

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,240
I can't wait.

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,240
I can't wait.

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,240
I'm fucking jerk.

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,240
I guess wait the fuck up because we're here to polarize in your ear.

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,240
Yeah, we're polarizing your ears.

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,240
Your right ear is going to hate your left ear.

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,240
They're going to be polarized.

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,240
So, James, what do you think?

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Your brain's going to be in the middle.

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Do you think I like kind of matched the setting and the mood of the movie?

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,240
You nailed it.

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,240
You nailed it.

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,240
Thank you.

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,240
I'm not saying big time.

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Big time.

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,240
Big time.

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,240
You nailed it.

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:02,240
I think I was already, feel like I was being shaken awake at the beginning of this movie

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,240
like, hey, hey, there's a movie you should watch.

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Here we go.

60
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Let me introduce you to a very terrible CGI bird.

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,240
While I say Martian a weird way.

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240
My first note of the movie, James, was what was that word she just said?

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Because it sounded like Warsh.

64
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,240
But then I was like, is it Marsh?

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,240
Is that what she's saying?

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,240
I just already was said on this path of the second this movie started with, wait a minute,

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,240
what was that word?

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240
And wow, that bird looks like shit.

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,240
You're making me think that I should instead of trying to say Warsh,

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,240
I should just say Warsh sauce.

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Give me some of that Warsh.

72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Warsh sauce.

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,240
Yeah.

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Warsh girl.

75
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,240
Warsh.

76
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,240
Yeah.

77
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,240
So I had heard before this movie that there's horse girl.

78
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240
You know.

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Now there's girl dinners and there's a couple like.

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Stereotypical girls, I guess, out there in the world.

81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,240
I believe it.

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,240
It's not that I don't believe in there like Bigfoot, you know, it's just you come across

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,240
them once in a while.

84
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,240
But I guess, you know, speaking of Bigfoot and once in a while, there's the Marsh girl.

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240
I'm not familiar with this term that it seems like everybody in the movie just understands

86
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,240
it as just the common thing to say.

87
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,240
You haven't grown up in the bayou.

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Oh, James, are you killing me?

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:34,240
We got to call you the boy, boy, king, because I had no idea.

90
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,240
You haven't heard them crawl dead singing.

91
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,240
So yeah, I have a point of contention already, too, with the name of this movie.

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Because yeah, like.

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Oh, that's enough crawdads, right?

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,240
Now worth it.

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:56,240
That final line was like so poetic, like a lot, a lot of the lines in this movie definitely

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,240
lifted from the book and and they're and they're nice and their narration and everything

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,240
sounds nice and as well written and everything is just like kind of jumbled together in a

98
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,240
way that doesn't fully have the connective tissue that reading a book would.

99
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
But that final line, I don't know.

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:24,240
It wasn't as satisfying as I wanted to be like the title fitting with everything.

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,240
But it is.

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,240
I mean, it is a.

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,240
It's a fine title.

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240
I guess, especially for a book like, you know.

105
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Sure.

106
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Overall, but just when you like when you hear the title in the movie, like your your ears

107
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,240
perk up and you're like, oh, they said it.

108
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,240
And that the way it did at the end of the movie wasn't.

109
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,240
I made me do that.

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,240
But then not as satisfying of a way as I would have wanted.

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,240
I wanted to fucking.

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,240
Then like saying, and can you see?

113
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,240
Can you feel the love tonight?

114
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Oh, sure.

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,240
While she goes with a punky mccunxter.

116
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Down like the two boats, they hold hands like in the condom commercials or no, not sure.

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,240
The erectile dysfunction.

118
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Commercials where they're in the bad tubs, Edie Edie.

119
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,240
But they're in boats and they're just holding hands like that.

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Oh, OK.

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,240
So there's so many, there's so many boats, so much boat stuff.

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Put that on a bumper sticker.

123
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,240
But before we get fully into it, James, I wanted to start off.

124
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,240
I wanted to start with a new segment.

125
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,240
New segment before I'm bringing all the energy.

126
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Before we get into the actual movie itself is I want to know what are you watching?

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,240
What are you watching?

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Oh, I like this.

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,240
This is great.

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,240
Yeah, let's talk about movies just by and large before we get into it.

131
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:03,240
Because yeah, I think we're, you know, if you're tuning in, if you're tuning out like we did for this movie, either or.

132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,240
I'm sure, you know, you're liking movies.

133
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,240
You're into movies and doing stuff.

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:16,240
So I think it's worth, you know, before we dive deep into the marsh, we talk about what we're vibing on.

135
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Maybe it's a vibing on vibing on movies.

136
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240
I don't know. It's a working segment title.

137
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Hmm. What is one of my more recent viewings?

138
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240
It's been collateral.

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,240
I watched that this past week.

140
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Yes, tell me about that.

141
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,240
It's like a new edition on Netflix and I really enjoyed it.

142
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,240
I really had a good time as far as a thrill.

143
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240
The way that it's movie shot is very cool.

144
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Yeah. Oh my God.

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,240
There's a lot of people in it.

146
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,240
Like it blew my mind.

147
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,240
I forgot because Jason Statham is in one scene at the very beginning.

148
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,240
I mean, he hands Tom Cruise a package.

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Ruffalo is the lead detective of the whole thing.

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,240
I love Ruffalo in a position like that.

151
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,240
Yeah. And he's got a, he's got a goatee.

152
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,240
He's got his hair slicked back.

153
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,240
I love it. I love love love.

154
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Love it. Love it.

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,240
A specific inquisitive Ruffalo is my favorite Ruffalo.

156
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Yeah. I mean, that's Zodiac in him and that one is, is a might be my favorite spotlight.

157
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Might be my favorite. Oh yes. Yes. Definitely.

158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,240
And then who else? Oh yeah.

159
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,240
Javier Bardin is fucking in that movie too. It's crazy.

160
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240
It was just blowing my mind. I was like one after the other.

161
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,240
And then fucking was it Jada Pinkett Smith? No.

162
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
I forget who else someone else was in it too.

163
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaking of Javier, you had just sung a while you were alluding to Hercules.

164
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,240
I think say you're in love was a little bit of that melody you were alluding to earlier, right?

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Oh, can you feel the love tonight?

166
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Oh no, can you feel the love tonight?

167
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,240
That's lying king. I don't know why I did. Can you feel the love tonight?

168
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:02,240
I feel like I was, I should have said kiss the girl because it would have been Kermit and then like a closest thing to a crawdad and a Disney movie singing.

169
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,240
That's what I should have said.

170
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,240
But that's what my brain Disney wires mixed.

171
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:13,240
That's what my brain naturally did. Cause what I was going to say is, is I just saw Javier Bardin in the new little mermaid.

172
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:26,240
That's why I was bringing it up. So daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,

173
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,240
man.

174
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240
His beard is just flowing. All the hairs is flowing in that movie.

175
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240
It's so distracting in that movie.

176
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:49,240
The, the, and it's just, you know, we talked in length on the episodes where, and if anybody's listening, want to go hear my longer take, I would say on this is that the

177
00:09:49,240 --> 00:10:04,240
making real these reboots of these cartoon Disney movies, it is so distracting. The parts that need to be real. If you're going to do it real.

178
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:17,240
And the water stuff where the hair is in water is so fucking distracting because it's just, it's like moving all the time and

179
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,240
it is CGI and you can tell.

180
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,240
And it just, it's just tough, just like with the Lion King, what I said on that episode is

181
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:33,240
when you're just trying to make something real, it is, takes a lot of

182
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:48,240
time.

183
00:10:48,240 --> 00:11:03,240
It just, when you have to make it real, it loses a lot of a part of what was good about the original series, which is animating characters and animals in a way that is expressive to what's happening. So it just seems so fun.

184
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:16,240
And so vibrant because it is just, you know, orchestrated that way. And just like with this movie is there were some really fun songs. I also think it's really funny because this was, I didn't know this, but

185
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Little Mermaid was another Lin man.

186
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Yeah.

187
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:27,240
While Miranda joint and it's just funny to me how much of a guy he is.

188
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,240
Yeah, that's their guy.

189
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Disney, right?

190
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Like everything and.

191
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,240
It must be nice. I mean, it must be kind of a dream job.

192
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:45,240
Yeah. Oh my God, it has to be to it, right? You know, you get paid just dumb amounts of money to make you make great songs. I mean, all the more.

193
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:52,240
Amazing in my mind. I love Moana and all the music is a big part of it for sure.

194
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Yeah. And I think in contos really good too. And I think that is as well.

195
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,240
But yeah, Javier Bardem.

196
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,240
So funny to just see him in that role because he can be such a scary guy.

197
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:15,240
Such a commanding presence and that is a requirement of.

198
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,240
Who is who is he?

199
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Poseidon Poseidon.

200
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,240
Is that who it is?

201
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,240
Oh yeah.

202
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,240
Yeah.

203
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:28,240
Such a commanding presence, but it is so fascinating in that movie in particular where he is such a loving father.

204
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:35,240
You know, I didn't see him in that role as it's was really interesting because yeah, he can.

205
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Be so scary and such a big guy like a brute almost and he's just so he's his eyes are very cutting.

206
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:52,240
Yeah. Even with all the CG shit going on all around him and everything can still see his eyes and you can do so much with that.

207
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,240
For sure.

208
00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:01,240
But yeah, it's another polarizing movie actually and that's kind of fits the mold of our first episode was the Lion King version.

209
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,240
We kind of talked at length about all that kind of stuff too.

210
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:25,240
And it yeah, works for some people doesn't work for others and they continue to make him and they continue to be polarizing, but it keeps their keeps their IP and everything in check and they're going to keep on coming up with new versions of those those stories as long as they can in my mind.

211
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:38,240
So yeah, we've I mean those those are a couple things I know there's there's some shows I've been I got you know been doing some anime more lately in my life and doing trying to get through Hunter Hunter almost almost finished with that.

212
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:51,240
The show Silo on Apple TV plus or whatever is a good book and the show's been good to have a couple episodes left.

213
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,240
I love Rebecca Ferguson she's she's a lady Jessica.

214
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Yeah, so fantastic.

215
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,240
There you go.

216
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,240
That's it.

217
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,240
That's an awesome new segment.

218
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,240
I love I love it is.

219
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Yeah, let's get into this goddamn movie.

220
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,240
My first note also CG bird.

221
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,240
CG bird.

222
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,240
My second my second note.

223
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,240
You'll pay for this.

224
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,240
I was just like I'm going to write this down.

225
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,240
I was like I'm going to write this down.

226
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,240
They just called that person Marsh girl.

227
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Little did I know that the big part of this they should call the movie Marsh girl.

228
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,240
I think you should.

229
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Maybe the book where the crawdeads sing but this movie is called Marsh girl.

230
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,240
They say Marsh girl.

231
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:47,240
In this movie conservatively a thousand times.

232
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:58,240
It is it gets to a point where I'm just laughing at how many times in a in a scene she will be referred to as Marsh girl and yeah.

233
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:27,240
It's why it's so funny is because everybody treats it like you're saying is a common saying of somebody and us as an audience members like I've never ever heard anybody be called that but every single like level of person in this town refers to her as Marsh girl like it's just yeah that's the thing and it's almost like town idiot or something and to be honest I think it's a very common thing.

234
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,240
It's like a town idiot or something and to call someone that's town idiot.

235
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,240
I don't know it just seemed like such a yeah such a like a derogatory term too.

236
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Yeah.

237
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:45,240
Yeah I know like her whole family disappears and I guess everyone forgets her name and her last name and everything she never comes out.

238
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:55,240
But that happens quick and this is already you're you're starting to feel the difference between a book and a movie even if we haven't read the book.

239
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:13,240
And these are moving at a pace that is not given the chance to breathe when it should and then other times it's like breathing in ways that you know could maybe be expedited or at least made more a little more interesting and in other ways to or

240
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:25,240
have a little bit of edge and in terms of like not being so melodramatic and like a soap opera but you know.

241
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Yeah this movie reminded me so much of like the way the notebook is visually to and how what it focuses on and it just the movie itself I don't know about the book in particular.

242
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,240
I know my mom really likes the book she was telling me about this word the crowd at sea.

243
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,240
That's why I was excited to do this movie because she was like oh the books really great.

244
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Yeah.

245
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,240
You don't know what she thinks about the movie.

246
00:16:52,240 --> 00:17:06,240
I don't think she's ever seen it like my mom's very weird like that where she's just like it just because a movie comes out of it isn't you know is like oh I got to see that now you know she's like I read the book enjoyed it and that's all I need to do.

247
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,240
I mean I'm not sure.

248
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Yeah I mean there's some annotations where I might steer clear of as well.

249
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,240
Totally.

250
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,240
And I read some of the dark tower books but I saw that trailer that movie I'm like you know.

251
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,240
It's not good it is poopy doobie snoopy.

252
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:37,240
That is funny though to just talk about the difference like how a book would be in comparison to how movie would be because I'm assuming that the book would have a lot more interior into each one of the characters of what they're thinking about the things that are going on.

253
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Right.

254
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:51,240
That's not something during the romantic scenes that would be great to have that internal monologue shared with us because that's you know to hear her internal monologue that's not overdone narration.

255
00:17:51,240 --> 00:18:06,240
That's what makes the yeah the romance really really worked that I mean the chemistry is is pretty much there I don't know what do we think of the performance of the main main character.

256
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,240
I think she is perfect.

257
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Yeah.

258
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Absolutely yeah because this movie I think does really well and is probably really attractive to women because the you know what is her name Emily Emily or Daisy and Daisy Edgar Jones has really big eyes and she plays this like confused reserved

259
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:52,240
girl very very well and I think that's attractive to the female audience of like somebody who is very smart contemplative sensitive emotional and really also has is very capable to I think she handles all of that really well.

260
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,240
So I don't know I would.

261
00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:12,240
It is a lot to ask to be the marsh girl and to a moat these these things of just being yeah lost confused misunderstood wanting but not understanding how to get those emotions across and everything.

262
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:30,240
It's some of the some of the things she does get a little repetitive to me but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad decisions as an actor but it's well yeah it's just that sort of she's she doesn't that thing where she's

263
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,240
her eyes yeah her eyes do.

264
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Yeah it's super repetitive.

265
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,240
I mean this movie has a position that it puts her in as well yeah.

266
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:49,240
It was like it was so funny as a you know anybody listening who doesn't know what I look like I'm a white guy and it was so funny.

267
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,240
I'm a lizard man actually yeah busted.

268
00:19:53,240 --> 00:20:18,240
That I had white guy blindness in this movie where the guy so this movie is structured in a way where there are two romantic relationships one is leading to like one place and the other one is like creating a level of trauma and understanding to get to the to that

269
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,240
relationship and it's played by two dudes that look so fucking similar.

270
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Interesting.

271
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:44,240
It really was tough for me where I'm like these guys are so fucking similar looking where I for a second got whiplash was like wait who because this movie moves through time in a way as well where like that's true as well and the transition from one to the money to me where

272
00:20:44,240 --> 00:21:07,240
I like Taylor Johnson and Harris or Taylor John Smith and Harris Dickinson are really pretty similar to me look wise but the you know obviously what they mean to Kaia is different.

273
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,240
Oh you mean Marsh girl.

274
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:24,240
But I could recognize that yeah it was just so funny that they yeah I made a note of it and where I was like man it's just two very similar white guys and she definitely is the type is what I was thinking the whole time I was like she really has a type it's this you know

275
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,240
job tall white dude with brown hair.

276
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:37,240
I mean they are styled very similarly at this time in right you know American fashion you know I got the white T's and

277
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:53,240
it's so yeah all the fashion of this movie is so funny because to go back to the plot of this is we start off with her whole entire family leaving us one by one and man there's some brutal because

278
00:21:53,240 --> 00:22:06,240
quick it's like fuck you just feel so emotionally drained by the I know like someone's with murder she's been wrongfully accused you assume or not I don't know you know I'm not really sure what to assume that you know you definitely assume

279
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,240
yeah for sure.

280
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:21,240
And then you want yeah you watch her immediate flashback the flashback is like quick in this movie because it's like wrongfully accused get her in interrogation and then like let me tell you my story.

281
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:30,240
Yes, so stereotypical and then you and by the guy who just moments ago said he's retired.

282
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:42,240
That's that was already something up off the battle is like, where's that there's missing a scene in the movie they forgot to edit that scene in we just like talking with his wife, looking at the newspaper about

283
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,240
Marsh girl and being like hey we remember that family.

284
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Remember that girl.

285
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:55,240
Don't we care about them like come back for one final case and put things right and save the Marsh girl that never happened he just like shows up.

286
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:07,240
I was like I was like you said you were retired why are you coming back you can it showed him like see it at the bar on the news or something like that but there's no conversation and I was yeah because you end up understanding a little bit

287
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:14,240
more must be expanded on and the book of the lawyer care a little bit I don't know.

288
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:26,240
Oh no absolutely yeah I mean and that's how the book and that's what we're talking about is like the way this movie like translate the book to the movie.

289
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:43,240
It, it, it's feelings are that is so weird that she all of it leading up to the situation is weird, because you don't understand why this girl is like diving into the Marsh she's around there.

290
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,240
Then she gets caught.

291
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,240
And then you're right.

292
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Crime scene is kind of interesting you know of them like looking around at the top and the great and the great and everything.

293
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:01,240
It's really not like when you okay so when you go into a movie like this you're like oh there's going to be a mystery.

294
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:08,240
And so when that happens it's like oh at the okay at the bare minimum it's giving me like these cops.

295
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,240
Have found a body, no footprints.

296
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,240
Oh interesting.

297
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,240
The great.

298
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,240
What's happened.

299
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,240
Oh, it could have.

300
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Which and then like going into like the CSI about all of like, yeah, they're like, well if which way was he facing when he got pushed off like, and then at the very end when he's like well even if, and I thought that was like one of the more effective parts of the movie is was him as the

301
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:43,240
like giving that whole speech at the end of like strat harm from Godzilla one and two King of Mines.

302
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:58,240
But he's like if even if she were she would have to drive all the way have this last episode have this meeting with the publisher and then come back murder somebody and then come back in the morning like that was such a great speech by him that gave me that

303
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:13,240
kind of reaction of like a procedural mystery sort of thing, but then you get the romance drama all mixed into it too there's a lot of, which is 75% of the movie, right, which makes sense in a book is like you can reach all those different points.

304
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:36,240
It just is like it. It's such a slow burn, and it focuses so much of the coming of age element of bias character, which is interesting. But since it is also hanging its hat on a courtroom drama, like I just wanted so much more out of that side of the

305
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:45,240
you would go like 35 minutes stretches of her just casually having a romance with this guy which is like.

306
00:25:45,240 --> 00:26:00,240
They didn't even question the shopkeepers. I don't know. I love them. I mean they were great at the in the courtroom and everything didn't they didn't question them they didn't question his like her like love interest that I need to get these guys names down.

307
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:12,240
Jump in and Mabel are the shopkeepers. The shopkeepers and then Tate is is like the good dude and Chase is the bad dude.

308
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Essentially, but Tate.

309
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:31,240
They didn't question Tate, you know, either like they those like it was such a weird pacing in this movie because incredibly weird they come in at the end like they're the like star witnesses those like the two shopkeepers Tate and his dad all walk in and there's

310
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:44,240
this moment editing wise where it gives them the full picture. Everyone looks at them. They're like, OK, one if not all these people are going to get questioned and they don't. And this is like stuff missing. I don't know.

311
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,240
It's so weird.

312
00:26:46,240 --> 00:27:01,240
So because because where the movie cares and places its attention is in this melodramatic love story that then evolves into this.

313
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Prisoner, very like.

314
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:18,240
It's like a toxic relationship. Yeah. Yeah. And that's all the movie kind of really cares about. But it has this courtroom drama, but it could not really give a shit.

315
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:26,240
That's about it. Yeah. And it's just so apparent because every time like you're saying that it would cut to the courtroom shit. I was like.

316
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:42,240
Can we like get some evidence that isn't just the mother of the deceased and like just like some you know, you and me have been talking offline and it would introduce characters in that moment to that was like.

317
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:57,240
It's like facing to is like, here's the publisher and here's this like other guy that saw her leaving after. Oh my God. And then he was like this Fisherman that was just there and was like, oh, we're getting it.

318
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:11,240
Oh, look at this guy. Like look at these colorful cast of characters that you know it could have been that sort of thing too. But it did do a lot with the romantic drama toxic relationships side of it all which paid off.

319
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:20,240
And the other effective moment of the movie we're just jumping around like it's fine. No, no, no. But like when you find out he's.

320
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:45,240
Double married. Like that was an effective part. That was like that was like it. I had a nickel for every. It was a double married situation. I'd be a rich man. I feel like I could have called that like a fucking mile and a half away.

321
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:58,240
Yeah, like it was so goddamn apparent like it was gonna drive like the foot it was gonna be like he was his real nature was gonna come to reveal itself eventually.

322
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:05,240
Real nature was always there. Yeah, big time big time. It was so obvious. But he had the night he liked that.

323
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:22,240
That moment of like seeing him with her at the in the in the like her just running home and all that stuff like that was what the movie and the book I'm sure like is a big climactic moment and I thought it was overall effective for that.

324
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:38,240
His rebuttal was just so intense to and drawn out in its own fucked up way that was not enjoyable to watch naturally so and then that stuff is sure it's just it's gratuitous to a to a point to I don't know.

325
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,240
Mm hmm.

326
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,240
But it's it's it is it is isn't necessary I mean like.

327
00:29:43,240 --> 00:30:01,240
For dramatic. Yeah, I mean, isn't it so fascinating though, a movie that is like written produced directed starring women that the focus of the movie isn't the courtroom of it all or the procedural elements of it all.

328
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:16,240
It's just about toxic relationships and the effect that it has on a person. I've, I was, you know, trying to give the movie credit because I think there is credit for it was really focusing on her perspective.

329
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:32,240
For sure. It was very much like her experience through all of, you know, the courtroom and and all of her relationships and everything and being thrust into this courtroom and having it all just be decided around you and for you and you can't really in your voice is

330
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:41,240
kind of less voices kind of taken away and her and then you get to see her journey of kind of finding finding your power. Yeah.

331
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:53,240
And in her identity and her power and strength and very so much so that she learns how to read in this movie. You know what I mean? Like talking about finding your voice.

332
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,240
That was pretty. That was wholesome. I mean, there were.

333
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,240
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm their romance at the her and Tate at the beginning. Yeah.

334
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:21,240
I think that I paid that I noticed in this movie again, because I feel like it's directed and written by women that the intimate moments of this movie are really tender and sweet and had a great kind of perspective of it.

335
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:33,240
I was really into, you know, like when whenever I go out, I just like to put my lady in the middle of a of a marsh and drive around on my boat while she was in there.

336
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Make a way for.

337
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:52,240
You know, you know, speaking your truth on this. All right, baby, in the middle, I'm going to drive around, make some waves. Yeah.

338
00:31:52,240 --> 00:32:00,240
Six pack of Budweiser.

339
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:11,240
No, but I just it was really noticeable in this movie where the camera was pointed in the intimate moments between.

340
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:21,240
Kaya and like, Tate or chase or whatever. Like I was really into the fact that the camera would be like on certain parts of her body that were like not so.

341
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:38,240
Because like if a guy directing this, you'd be like, let's just, you know, you want to see all of it. But it was so careful and tender in those moments where we just focus on like really kind of obscure quote unquote parts of the body that would elicit a lot of really great emotion.

342
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,240
And I.

343
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:54,240
Sure. Love that element of it. But it. The thing is, is that this movie has a has a like a thing to say. And it just more often than not is so meandering.

344
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:05,240
Like I time and time again in this movie, I was like, what are we doing? Like, where are we going? Like, we're like, let's move this shit along.

345
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,240
Because I get it.

346
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,240
You know, it is a coming of age story.

347
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:18,240
A woman's coming of age story that has had a very.

348
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:25,240
In particular, it makes it very apparent that love did not exist in her household.

349
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:31,240
And so for her to open herself up to love is like, God, such a monumental thing.

350
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240
She doesn't know how she should be treated.

351
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Absolutely. Well, she's only experienced treatment and in a particular way.

352
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:47,240
And there are moments with Tate in particular where he is treating her in a way and you could see it on her where she's like, I don't know.

353
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,240
I never felt this way or I've never received love in this way.

354
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,240
And I think he's a true catch.

355
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Like he's a true, right?

356
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,240
Like top to bottom.

357
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,240
Like he's doing everything right.

358
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,240
He gets her feathers and notes teaches her how to read.

359
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:10,240
He fucks up big time once and he and he like endlessly apologizes for it.

360
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:14,240
And then his reasoning is stated well, too.

361
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:16,240
As to why he missed out on it.

362
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:19,240
But I've yeah, I'm OK.

363
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:28,240
I'm in love with Tate, but the extent that this movie spends on like the middle part, like the Tate stuff is fun.

364
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:31,240
And naturally you don't like to be with Chase. This fun.

365
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:44,240
But the chase stuff is just like, it's like, I know it and it's like it's got to have a commentary on like, you know, the rebound of coming out of a relationship and wanting to and you're getting that attention from someone else.

366
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:50,240
And you can see her, you know, rebuph him at multiple points.

367
00:34:50,240 --> 00:35:07,240
But she maintains she stays in the relationship, the toxic relationship, and it's just that's like a drawn out frustrating part of the movie because it is paced directly after a previous relationship where she just was courted and went through this whole thing.

368
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:12,240
So now you see the kind of the Mr. Hyde, the bad the bad version of it.

369
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:15,240
And it's just kind of drains you because right.

370
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:19,240
It's so close to the thing that just happened and so similar.

371
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,240
But so much worse.

372
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,240
Right.

373
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:33,240
Like the, like the chase stuff should be cut between the courtroom drama stuff way more quickly.

374
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:43,240
We don't need as much of the him courting her chase. I like, you can already tell he's a bad dude. You can and then like, I don't know, like, you can narrate that away.

375
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:49,240
Like I got with another guy that treated that like gave me attention, but didn't treat me in the, you know, whatever. And then.

376
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:50,240
Sure.

377
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,240
I don't want to say how to do it.

378
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:59,240
No, no, it's fine. We're talking about a movie that we've there are things I like about it.

379
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,240
Yes.

380
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:12,240
Like, but there's just a lot of stuff that I'm like, you're, you know, I think it's going to be a reoccurring phrase in regards to this movie of like, there's something missing.

381
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:21,240
Like there needs to be more of something, you know, you're, I understand why you're focusing on this, but like.

382
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:29,240
In order for it to be like really interesting, you need to have more of a bunch of other.

383
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:40,240
Honestly, this this connective tissue and just befuddling missing things and stuff that I question, whether it is for artistic effect or just.

384
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:50,240
Over oversight, or it can't be a two and a half to two hour 45 minute to three hour movie so we have to find a way to cut things down.

385
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:58,240
But the things that they choose is, is, is just weird and we keep saying it but like I'm jumping to the to the end as well but like.

386
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,240
I don't.

387
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:12,240
The other unsatisfying part about it and and this is maybe more the artistic side of things is why they chose not to just show her exactly how she did it.

388
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,240
And how she killed him.

389
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,240
Yeah.

390
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:22,240
And got him there with no footprints and the great and all these things that are just like these bread crumbed out from the beginning.

391
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:31,240
That you get the narration at the end and you know her like it's her and like them growing old together is really sweet.

392
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,240
I like that that is that is in the good moment.

393
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,240
And he loved it.

394
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:39,240
Yeah, and him finding the letter and all that stuff and.

395
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:41,240
But.

396
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:53,240
It just I wanted that mystery side and courtrooms maybe I think maybe we're wanting a little bit more of that and maybe that speaks to our proclivity towards some of those things.

397
00:37:53,240 --> 00:38:04,240
But I like, I don't know, I like romance as much as anyone and I really like the Tate stuff but it's just it's a strangely paced and strangely edited thing that is unsatisfying,

398
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:20,240
frustratingly so and in a lot of like key moments because they even wanted like, yeah, that that conversation between them and like, oh, I'm his fiance like I wanted to let that burn even a little bit more like she ran away I was like,

399
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:36,240
I just wanted to like sit in that even longer some of them, some of the more dramatic things so it's it's it's kind of constantly me hitting those frustrating moments with this movie when I'm wanting it to lean more in a certain way and it goes a different

400
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:42,240
direction and kind of can't or maybe can't make up its mind.

401
00:38:42,240 --> 00:39:03,240
I think it's just overall the priorities of the movie are so much more interested in the like abuse and relationship stuff and it presents these ideas which then elicits from us a want and interest and about like what the town is more like

402
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:25,240
little interior into the town. We also just get so little interior into the family dynamics of chase, like I get it that his family wants him to have this, you know, woman this life and all of that but it's just all of it is so like

403
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:44,240
I mean, he doesn't care about it. Show you any chase shit because then you'd find out he double married but you see enough of him like with with her and enough people know that he's spending time with her too so that's that's a strange thing that his fiance wouldn't catch wind of that.

404
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:56,240
Sure. And if anything she's nice to her she's like oh I know your name oh she's like oh hi Marshall I mean I'm sorry. Hi Clark hi kaya Clark. That's I remember your name.

405
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:12,240
I dress as she's dressing her down the entire time when she's yeah so it's not like you know we don't want to give her too much credit for you know trying to you know get away from calling her the derogatory term Marshall so okay.

406
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:40,240
Let's talk about marsh girl just as a concept again. Because so much of this movie I was holding myself down. Because I was so wrapped up when like how she like as a marsh girl. How does she understand a lot of this things that she's, you know, kind of pursuing I think specifically, you know I think one thing

407
00:40:40,240 --> 00:41:02,240
in mind if I were to look at my notes would be like how does she know about a boyfriend and like why does she want a boyfriend and like there's that's that's a concept that's a social concept that you predominantly experience through going to school and watching

408
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:17,240
media is these like what it means to be boyfriend and girlfriend and like the pursuance of that. Oh, you know, and everything related to that. And that is one example but there's like a bajillion I feel like where.

409
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:41,240
How does she know what any of that means, because she's living by herself as a child till she's a adult and time and time again I'm like, how does she know about what that is, and why does she want that, and it drove me nuts, because I would always just be like, I can pull up my notes but I'd love to hear your

410
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:49,240
opinion on it if you ever noticed that where you're like, wait, why how does she know that that's a thing.

411
00:41:49,240 --> 00:42:07,240
Yeah, there's, and that's again, I think the connective tissue and all you really see her connections are the shopkeepers, her father leaves the last one to leave and she's got to be what like 10, 8 to 10 10 or 11 I would say yeah and then she

412
00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:27,240
immediately picks up her muscle hustle and you dirty dog starts hustling the muscles. Yeah. And then Tate is the only other one that she's been connected to and he doesn't start teaching her to, you know, to start reading until high

413
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:47,240
school age. And there is a lot missing there, and a lot of interesting stuff as to how to survive as a child into high school age in a marsh and take care of yourself, you know, even sanitary wise like I would expect her to show up to take

414
00:42:47,240 --> 00:43:09,240
a precious precious like looking like, you know, like grungy teeth and just like un unkempt but who knows. Yeah, but I bet yeah she got to the age 10 saw enough of her as dysfunctional as shit as it was her family and everything and maybe maybe she found some

415
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:23,240
a way to self sustain. But a lot of social thing I'm I agree with you as like, if it is there in the movie and in the book, it's not in the movie but if it is in the book and it is there.

416
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:36,240
As far as the story element goes then we don't see it unfortunately as to how that happens and it maybe it is going to the shop every day. She said she only goes to school one day, and then she's over it because

417
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:55,240
they bully the shit out of her and so how she socializes beyond that is not shown in the movie and is a fun kind of a funny concept. It's such a funny thing to think about to be a marsh girl and yeah, I don't know. She's she looks all right to me.

418
00:43:55,240 --> 00:44:20,240
Yeah, it's it's such a glaring like you're in a movie quality about her where she is dressed in a way that's like has a sense of style, but it's like being dressed by a stylist is really it's so my mind she's trying to be her mom like she she's

419
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:38,240
just looking at her mom's dresses all the time and wants to emulate that and you know there's a lot of and that whole that was like the emotional moment for me when she dies and and has that whole connection with her mom as she's dying at the end and

420
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:58,240
the whole like cross generational thing and seeing her as herself as a child reaching out to her mom and all that like all that stuff was really was really nice and subtle and ways that this movie is not subtle in other ways but there are other things that are nice and details that

421
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:13,240
seem like they would come from a good place and that's where I think like the text must have a story there that it has a variety of like interesting characters and I think that that would have

422
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:28,240
helped this movie a lot too I think you mentioned earlier about about seeing the town and the more like the cast of characters and having it be an ensemble thing could have propped her up as a character as well because you don't need to have her experience and narrate it the

423
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:45,240
whole time you could have oh yeah I remember seeing Marsh girl come through town and you know she'd stop by for a spell and have a soda pop and like ask me questions about what it's like you know to go to school like I don't know or like and then you could have people on the courtroom answer those questions about like oh

424
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:54,240
here I me as a lawyer I'm gonna build her character and ask more people about and he it's essentially what he does but it's just not enough I want more I like not close

425
00:45:54,240 --> 00:46:12,240
close and we haven't really talked about her her hustle besides the muscle is the all her beautiful drawings and I think that's a great detail as far as a realized part of who her character would be and why she would be so good at that makes a lot of

426
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:29,240
sense because all of the things we've criticized as being a marsh girl maybe you wouldn't know about you you could draw a fucking you know wildlife and mushrooms well if you spend enough time with it and that's you know you have a lot of time in your hands by by yourself you're

427
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:44,240
gonna draw what's right like that's not actually not a naturally figure out and I love it just how the drawings look I was sad when she ripped him apart and they're all over a place to and they're so beautiful yeah there was a moment where they're in the

428
00:46:44,240 --> 00:47:03,240
court the courtroom and she's getting so stressed out about things and the lawyer like gives her a pen to draw right she just goes town and it's such a wonderful moment of like that is her happy place to just be in the marsh to admire the wildlife because

429
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:23,240
that's all she's had that's a big draw of this movie I think too I just just the idea of like being a marsh girl there there's a certain like I don't know admiration for it or like you fantasize it a bit of like I lived in the marsh and I was a and I was a marsh

430
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:36,240
which and where people called me which or whatever but I did what I wanted and I and I have all my drawings and I'm and I'm self sustaining you know I don't really need anybody don't need to go anywhere I got my marsh that's all you know and and that's

431
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:56,240
there's a certain amount of strength that she exudes that is attractive for for people like Tate and chase is attracted to her for all the wrong reasons I think but for for Tate seeing who she truly is is there is an attractive quality to that and his yeah is I mean that was the

432
00:47:56,240 --> 00:48:14,240
dramatic part to as and I'm a I was a sucker for it but it was like yeah I tried I went to school I got a job and it didn't matter I just wanted you in the end like all that stuff is so cheesy and awesome but it's there's a party me that's still

433
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:29,240
a movie like this and knows that I'm gonna get some version of that and the murder mystery and everything and I'm looking for those things and and kind of satisfied when I at least have those climactic moments of someone professing their love and in a way like that it's like oh okay

434
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:48,240
I'm getting something here but yeah beyond that I think this movie kind of rang hollow and a lot of other ways and I'm happy to move on to some some reviews if you're down yeah that's great let's take a break final notes yeah if you want to take a break I'll read through

435
00:48:48,240 --> 00:49:01,240
some of my notes while you while you if you're gonna do a bathroom break or you can just let's just take a break.

436
00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:16,240
Yeah, let's talk notes. So yeah flashback. Oh yeah this ambient sound is nice amazing tree. There's something going on with that. I think I just started writing down lines with it said March girl.

437
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:24,240
She's the Grinch question mark I don't know should they search they just felt like she was the Grinch of the town. That leaf dance.

438
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:35,240
That was like that was kind of rough to me it was it was played to be so I know so romantic. Oh my god but it was like I just started laughing really hard.

439
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:52,240
They just go oh it was like like yeah that sort of thing of like what you think humans would do if you're an alien or something it's like yes aliens love when leaves fall from sky and they immediately dance in a rapturous way it was just so immediate like

440
00:49:52,240 --> 00:50:09,240
yeah like you just they like clocked the it was like a tornado of leaves and they're like well you know we have to do is we have to go dancing it.

441
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:18,240
Maybe I maybe I'm just too cynic I need to be more like that. No that's a marsh girl would know that when you see you know it does double of leaves you have to go dancing it.

442
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:23,240
Yeah that's I yeah that's my fault in my own.

443
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:27,240
You can't run away from every whip stitch.

444
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:31,240
That's something they say I said the same thing to.

445
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:35,240
I didn't look to what a whip stitches.

446
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,240
Do you know what a whip stitches.

447
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:43,240
I have zero idea but somebody said it like it was a thing.

448
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:49,240
In a sewing stitch pass over an edge or a sling an instant a moment.

449
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:53,240
Can't run away from every moment.

450
00:50:53,240 --> 00:51:01,240
Immediately after that I put three Z's snooze I was snoozing.

451
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:10,240
relationship I was like yeah and he called he at one point he says she's free as a dangale and smart as a whip.

452
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:17,240
A dangale that's what I say about you Brandon call me courthouse can't oh that brandini he's free as a dangale and.

453
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:21,240
Whip whip.

454
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:25,240
Three three thrust and done chase.

455
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:35,240
You just like I know my know was I didn't know what kind of books you wrote so I was just like is it a kids book is a narrative book is it a scientific book.

456
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:41,240
I was so it looked like family like it could it could like anyone can.

457
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:50,240
Anyone can learn something from this call it like family family it's like family like Vin Diesel would love it.

458
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:55,240
But yeah, she's to the thing where he's just like looks like family.

459
00:51:55,240 --> 00:52:02,240
Alright then that was such a big thing to say.

460
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:06,240
Everybody has a bow.

461
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:11,240
Yeah that point that he just rolls up and sees both of them there was like everybody's just boating around.

462
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:17,240
They have the pigly wiggly I just love that name it's I'm not I love California California guys and.

463
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:24,240
So cal server dude are there are there still pigly wigglies don't tell us yeah I think so reach out.

464
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:30,240
Chase what the fuck she didn't know her own birthday I thought was really interesting that was I like that.

465
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:39,240
That was cool but that code and she said don't cut my name on the birthday cake because that was like special to her like having name.

466
00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:44,240
Not mars girl not mars girl yeah there's oh man.

467
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:47,240
I want to like this movie.

468
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,240
Oh yeah.

469
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:53,240
The books gotta be gotta be much better.

470
00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:59,240
And yeah you can't get double married jumping I thought that's a cool name jumping.

471
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:06,240
That sounded like that reminded me when they said that of what is it walk hard.

472
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:11,240
Yeah that's what I'm saying that's what I've been referencing this whole time.

473
00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:17,240
Right when I mean that scene is so dramatic and I still think it's effective of like seeing the fiance and everything but it's just like I just want to.

474
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:26,240
Just yell at Chase in the middle you can't get double married chase.

475
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:30,240
So I can't build you a house of chocolate milk in the sun.

476
00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:36,240
If it never rains.

477
00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:50,240
They're judging themselves I thought that was like a poignant thing of you know that's that was where the poetic side of a well written book comes through in a movie but otherwise I think it's very difficult.

478
00:53:50,240 --> 00:54:05,240
Let's check out what some critics have to say on the 35% critic side again 35% critics 96% audience very very fucking spicy and very wintery cold.

479
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:07,240
It's very polarized ladies and gentlemen.

480
00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:11,240
And that's like we love that over here.

481
00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:13,240
We love that.

482
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:19,240
We just like yum yum yum yum polarize kingdom yum yum bring it through the gates.

483
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:27,240
There's two things we stand for on this podcast is polarizing scores and tape.

484
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,240
Oh we stand tape.

485
00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:31,240
Yeah.

486
00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:32,240
Oh yeah.

487
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:48,240
Tates a hunk from Peter Bradshaw at the Guardian gives it a one out of five plays like an all white reboot of to kill a mockingbird with Edgar Jones somehow getting to play scout and Tom Robinson at the same time.

488
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:53,240
The ending is an outrageously evasive cheat.

489
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:57,240
And it is such an interesting comparison.

490
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:05,240
I think that's I think that's what like Reese Witherspoon had said about the movie like why she wanted to produce it was.

491
00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:11,240
Yeah, pairing it to kind of like a to kill a mockingbird when she when she read it.

492
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:19,240
And then she's like a to kill a mockingbird from drama thing a misunderstood person that's framed.

493
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:30,240
You find out from Empire magazine Sophie Butcher two out of five a flat flare free and uninspiring adaptation.

494
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:34,240
From the awesome Chronicle Jenny Nolf two out of five.

495
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:43,240
Easygoing allure isn't enough to bind where the crawdad sing together, though leaving the film a generic dole outing.

496
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:45,240
Yeah.

497
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:49,240
Do one more let's see.

498
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:53,240
From real views with James.

499
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:58,240
No actually let's do Kyle Smith with Wall Street Journal.

500
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:14,240
Nice from the lush nature writing in the book the stories plot beats stand exposed as bland contrivances familiar from a thousand romance novels about plucky adorable damsels versus snaky and duplicitous men.

501
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:17,240
Essentially, yeah, just calling it generic.

502
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:20,240
Let's see what audience.

503
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:21,240
Oh, there's this one.

504
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:27,240
Here's one funny positive one from tie burr if you want to call this pie positive.

505
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:32,240
It is dot dot dot acceptable.

506
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:35,240
Two out of four.

507
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:41,240
All right, well, let's warm up here and check out some positive audience reviews.

508
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:42,240
You can't.

509
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:45,240
You just can't run away from every whipstitch Brandon.

510
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:48,240
You can't fucking times have to tell you but.

511
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:51,240
Well, I'm a marshal.

512
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:53,240
Yeah, you're right there.

513
00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:54,240
Right there.

514
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:57,240
That's why I do it run from whip snitches because I'm a marshal.

515
00:56:57,240 --> 00:57:03,240
Yeah, well that excuse is only going to work so far when you find yourself in a pickle.

516
00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:09,240
And you got to defend yourself against throwing a man off of a tower.

517
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,240
I hope you covered up your footprints.

518
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:19,240
Well, it shows her coming up the footprints the whole time and that's kind of that's kind of yeah, that's yeah, yeah, acceptable as type of.

519
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,240
Yeah, no it is.

520
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,240
From a non seven five stars.

521
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,240
Titled intriguing story with a twist at the end.

522
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,240
The acting is good and the story well developed.

523
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:37,240
Shocking opening shows family broken by abusive father then follows life of one child who experienced tender moments.

524
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,240
Loneliness, generosity, love and other people's greed.

525
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,240
The climax is a very interesting twist.

526
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,240
Enjoy.

527
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:50,240
Enjoy with me.

528
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,240
Okay, all right.

529
00:57:54,240 --> 00:58:01,240
Five stars open wide from Mr. Pickles and there's a picture of Mr. Mr. Pickles the cartoon.

530
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:07,240
Oh, titled wife made me watch it.

531
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,240
Was a pretty good movie.

532
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,240
Five stars.

533
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,240
It's so funny to me.

534
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,240
Yeah, she made me do it.

535
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,240
That's titled that yeah it's like hey all you guys out there.

536
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:30,240
Yeah, she made me so I didn't want to watch this but you know hey, hey, why is am I right.

537
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:36,240
Essentially the title was one big asterisk like that's my reason from P.

538
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,240
Bat 26 titled great movie five stars.

539
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:45,240
Little sad but shows the resilience of a young lady who's had many hardships and how ignorant some people can be.

540
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,240
I recommend watching it.

541
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,240
I also think prime should lower its price to rent.

542
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,240
If it weren't for free shipping, I wouldn't pay for prime.

543
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,240
I haven't found any free movies for quite a while.

544
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:00,240
Amazon can afford it with all the customers they have greedy.

545
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,240
Yeah, I agree.

546
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,240
Brandon agrees.

547
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,240
From wood burner five stars.

548
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,240
Ooh, this sounds like a martial girl titled read the book first.

549
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,240
Enjoy the movie or read the book first enjoyed the movie.

550
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,240
I thought this movie was well done.

551
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:16,240
Having read the book.

552
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,240
I know there were parts that were necessarily left out.

553
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:23,240
Don't know how it would have held up if I hadn't read the book, but I enjoyed it,

554
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:29,240
especially the way they managed to sneak in the surprise who done it information at the end.

555
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:34,240
Just yeah, just really just threw it in there right at the end.

556
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:42,240
Oh, from Randolph B five stars titled fabulous a beautiful novel mystery love story and a coming of age story

557
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:50,240
in the midst of adversity a wonderful story with a great ending.

558
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,240
It's a lot of five stars here.

559
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,240
There's a.

560
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,240
Yeah.

561
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:02,240
For on the on prime video, there's 30,000 ratings.

562
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:08,240
84% of those ratings are five stars.

563
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,240
Like the audience like really, really loves this one.

564
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:18,240
There's a there's a I don't know, probably like a pulpit this fun sort of ride with the book.

565
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,240
The book readers are coming out in full force in the comment section.

566
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,240
So it seems like and knowing.

567
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:30,240
Yeah, I wonder if you're forgiving a lot of this movie because you know so much more.

568
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,240
You've you've been provided context that we just don't get.

569
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:41,240
I imagine it would be hard to go in completely on bias in some ways, but also there's got to be some people that are going in with it.

570
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,240
Even more critical eye.

571
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:54,240
Because they know so much, but I really like that last one of those last audience reviews were it's just like, I know that there were cuts like necessary cuts.

572
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,240
And that's true with with any adaptation from a book.

573
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:06,240
So that's that kind of made me feel a little bit better hearing that from that one person, I guess that they were okay with what was what was cut.

574
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:11,240
But for my enjoyment as just a movie was it was a little different.

575
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:16,240
I was going to read a little bit of this NPR article.

576
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:21,240
Just for a last little minute thing before we do our final thoughts.

577
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:32,240
Questions linger over where the crowd at sink author is film adaptation is released by Mandel it they'll barco

578
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:47,240
where the crowd at seeing tells a fictional story blah blah blah and it took wildlife scientists this is the author delia Owens a decade to write where the crowd at sing her first novel has now been on the New York Times bestseller list for 168 weeks actress with Reese Witherspoon

579
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:54,240
loved it so much she added it to her popular book club and produced the new film adaptation quote it just blew me away.

580
01:01:54,240 --> 01:02:02,240
It felt like when I was reading to kill a mockingbird or just any sort of classic Southern literature she layers on this thriller element.

581
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:10,240
There's a murder and murder a real life murder in the mid 1990s is the big elephant in the room with the film's release.

582
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:22,240
News has resurfaced that 73 year old Owens is still wanted for questioning by Zambian authorities as a possible witness co-conspirator and accessory to federal crimes.

583
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:32,240
At the time she and her then husband Mark were living in Zambia as animal conservationists trying to save elephants from poachers.

584
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:45,240
Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg first wrote about this for the New Yorker in 2010 and more recently the Atlantic magazine where he's now editor in chief his reporting suggests that Owens set up a brutal operation to go after anyone who was a threat to the elephant reserve.

585
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:56,240
In fact an ABC News crew documenting the Owens work in 95 actually captured the execution of a suspected poacher.

586
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:02,240
Quote the bodies of the poachers are often left when where they fall for the animals to eat.

587
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:11,240
I was hanging by narrator Meredith Vera said on the show turning point conservation morality Africa.

588
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:18,240
You can hear the gunshots but the shooter of the identified man was never seen on camera body was never found and no one has been formally charged with the crime.

589
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:27,240
According to Jeffrey Goldberg some witnesses reportedly implicated Mark Owens and his son Christopher but the journalist says their attorneys have issued statements of denial in the killing.

590
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:33,240
You quoted Delia Owens saying she had nothing to do with it.

591
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:42,240
Taylor Swift wrote in saying on the film soundtrack saying on Instagram she wanted to create something haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story.

592
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:53,240
She's faced social media backlash for her involvement in the film and in an interview the director and star of the movie both told me they didn't know anything about this product part of Delia Owens pass.

593
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:58,240
Though they did say she has a cameo in the film.

594
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:02,240
Pretty pretty pretty wild stuff.

595
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,240
Yeah, it's pretty wild stuff.

596
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,240
I just had to share that real life implications are happening.

597
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:19,240
I have no real commentary of myself to say besides just like hey she's at the center of a little murder mystery of her own and the reasoning behind it is like a movie in itself.

598
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:29,240
Right I just hopefully that they focus more on the mystery of the murder and the prosecution of it because then we would be loving it we'd be loving it.

599
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:34,240
I would watch a movie of like a mystery writer turned poacher hunter.

600
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,240
I'd watch totally.

601
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:43,240
I'd watch some hunting poachers like whatever you feel about that like as far as like an interesting story would be would be interesting for sure.

602
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,240
Yeah.

603
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,240
Interesting story is very interesting.

604
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,240
Gotcha.

605
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,240
I'm trying.

606
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,240
I love it.

607
01:04:55,240 --> 01:05:03,240
It is an interesting story to know that my co-host is now annoyed with me must must say that the listeners must be as well over my.

608
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:07,240
That's not true. I'm just giving you my redundant.

609
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:08,240
No they love it.

610
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:18,240
They love it and I love it because I had no idea about that and I'm sure people had no idea as well but it's so funny the button on that.

611
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,240
It's great.

612
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:27,240
Yeah, that's let's put a numerical value to this bad boy.

613
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,240
What are you thinking?

614
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,240
I love the casualness that was just entered into this portion.

615
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:42,240
Yeah, it has this kind of you know I'm going to go you're going to go who's going to decide but I feel like we're just like we can have toss out numbers.

616
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,240
I'm kind of feeling that too.

617
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:48,240
Just go like you know hey this is why I like it.

618
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,240
So I'm going to give this movie a 43%.

619
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:52,240
Oh my God.

620
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,240
You were one off of what I was about to say.

621
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,240
I was honest to God about to say 44.

622
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,240
I was like 45 or 44.

623
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,240
I was going to say 44.

624
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,240
43 for me man.

625
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,240
It's definitely 40 range.

626
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:16,240
Can I just say this like as one my review was going to be like if it was more theatrical is.

627
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,240
We can rewind.

628
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,240
No.

629
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:29,240
So what this movie made me think about is how movies like Cobra have existed.

630
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,240
I've never seen Cobra.

631
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:49,240
So Cobra is a very silly movie starring Sylvester Stallone where he just shoots a lot of people but like protects the city and you know has this whole like just proposition behind him but he just really fucks up the bad guys and you know and

632
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,240
that's such a guy movie.

633
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:56,240
It is made by guys starring a guy and it appeals to guys.

634
01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:00,240
This movie is a movie made by women.

635
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,240
Starring women written by women.

636
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,240
That obviously appeals to women.

637
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:16,240
And as somebody who is going to not live in a totally heterosexual sexual place or like a stereotypical male perspective.

638
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:26,240
You can understand why like there are some really sensual like romantic relationship stuff in this movie.

639
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,240
That's awesome.

640
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,240
Like and I and I don't deny it.

641
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,240
But yeah like so.

642
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:35,240
Okay.

643
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:36,240
So and that's the period.

644
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,240
I think it is.

645
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,240
Yeah.

646
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,240
Successful and putting you in her perspective.

647
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:41,240
Exactly.

648
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:42,240
Absolutely.

649
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:43,240
So yeah.

650
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:49,240
And that's kind of where I would leave it is but.

651
01:07:49,240 --> 01:08:06,240
Anybody who wants to cobras like this isn't a fucking this isn't a you know a good movie necessarily but is it a fun movie or isn't an enjoyable movie in its objective to court the audience that it's going after 110%.

652
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,240
And so.

653
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,240
Yeah like.

654
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:16,240
I think it's really funny to think about how.

655
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:29,240
Reese Witherspoon with yellow jackets is another situation where it is somebody who's been in Hollywood who knows how to like make him like produce a movie and like.

656
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,240
And it's not like this movie didn't make money.

657
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:45,240
You know it like did its job in like courted the people that it was out to get and they went and fucking saw the movie and liked it and we're talking about that from a score standpoint and.

658
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:53,240
You could she could legit just keep doing this shit like anything that is on a bestseller book list that's really interesting.

659
01:08:53,240 --> 01:09:03,240
Be the producer and make this movie happen and go after the exact audience you know is going to like it and continue to fucking do this.

660
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:09,240
And I really appreciate this movie to a degree for what it is because it's not a bad movie.

661
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:14,240
There's just things I wanted out of this movie that I didn't get.

662
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,240
Okay well you know what this movie wasn't made for me.

663
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,240
I'm getting this.

664
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:22,240
I got the sense of maybe they wanted me but.

665
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:34,240
I think it's just sneaky suspicion that they didn't that they had a particular person in mind when they made this movie to go see it and everybody came out and went and saw it so yeah I as who I am.

666
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:46,240
I'm not going to give this a really poopy score but would I recommend this I don't know I think there are better versions of this but I understand what it's doing so yeah.

667
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:50,240
Let's end on some Cobra reviews.

668
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,240
I was gonna I want to hear what you wanted to say.

669
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:54,240
Okay.

670
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:58,240
No I can I can do well.

671
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,240
I don't have to do Cobra reviews.

672
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,240
I want to hear some Cobra reviews so just.

673
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:14,240
I feel like I mean I went into this with the most open mind possible because I really didn't know what to expect.

674
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:33,240
For what I enjoyed of it I think were those key points in the movie of what they really were the most important scenes was the opening murder and investigating of it was caught my fancy for for a bit some of the romance stuff with Tate caught my whimsy as well.

675
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,240
Oh hashtag we stand Tate hashtag catch my whimsy.

676
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:45,240
I'm gonna stand Tate.

677
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:50,240
The courtroom stuff let courtroom stuff led me a little wanting but I did like the performance of David straight straight there.

678
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:58,240
However you say his name some some other good performances like the shopkeepers were like the heart of the movie in a lot of way and like.

679
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:11,240
So much more of that stuff like what their family yeah like I want to hear just like that or something like I want to know so much more about this has to have more loving people than just the two shopkeepers to know that like this whole family

680
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:16,240
not even them fully it's such a minimal I'm sorry.

681
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:30,240
I just a little like community stuff and a little bit of the fleshing out of an ensemble sort of cast but you don't have the time for this already two hour movie. The places that I thought it dragged was definitely all the chase stuff I feel like there's a way to to rally through a toxic

682
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:34,240
relationship where it doesn't have to be so so gratuitous with the drama there.

683
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:47,240
If that's a movie that you want to make then yeah maybe that's a situation like you're saying not for me it's not for me and maybe it is really trying to illustrate what it's like to be like be a woman and the sort of domineering

684
01:11:47,240 --> 01:12:05,240
relationship where you don't know what it's like to be treated with love and empathy from from a significant other and you're still learning your way to even have a proper friendship or communicate with somebody and he is giving you attention.

685
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:23,240
But the evils of even your father and stuff like start to rear their head and a lot of that stuff I know will hit home for a lot of people and I in my mind would just come through better in text with internal monologue, a little bit more of a back and

686
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:38,240
forth between the courtroom stuff and that I can see going chapter by chapter like the bare bones are the things that work for me and the bare bones I imagine are the things that were lifted almost directly from from the book and see

687
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:56,240
the fiance in the street and stuff like that. But there's something that rings super hollow about this movie that I feel like is also very forgettable, and nothing really stands out that sets it apart from other murder mystery

688
01:12:56,240 --> 01:13:16,240
romantic drama movies that I would be into and the thing that would be is yeah maybe the marsh girl element, you know, of being a being a marsh girl. I think some of that stuff also like made me interested about about her independently as a person, apart from these guys and

689
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:31,240
the way she's doing and even just more so how she learned to survive in the marsh on her own. It's a little bit more interesting to me as like from the age 10 to 16 like what was that what were those years like and everything like besides just catching

690
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:46,240
the fossils and selling them to the shopkeeper and all that stuff and then also yeah I wanted a little bit more out of like the fall is ruin that murder you know and and and how exactly it happened but they're telling me it doesn't matter it's just the you're

691
01:13:46,240 --> 01:14:00,240
going to find out years later when she's already grown old and died and then her secrets are going to come out. And then you're just going to get a little whiff of like what what really happened but you're never going to know the full truth. I get the artistic merit and that too.

692
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:22,240
The way that it was leading I don't know is it left me a lot of this movie left me wanting in certain areas. So yeah I really feel like it's on the colder colder end for me and not something that I would revisit let alone recommend wholeheartedly to

693
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:41,240
you. Yeah. And I'm I have to check out Cobra. Can you read. I love that. That's the that's the comp from a G singe gave it a five stars. Another masterpiece by sly and unfortunately reason is that good movies that come between that came between Rambo and Rocky

694
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:55,240
franchise till the end of 1990 didn't get much light but the movie is really a must watch crime slash action. The dialogue in the starting scene which is you are a disease. I'm the cure is one of the best deliveries ever.

695
01:14:55,240 --> 01:15:06,240
Moment you will become a fan of love this movie. The most badass cop you will ever witness. Mary on Cobra the Cobra.

696
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:21,240
Fuck yes. Yeah. And there's there's plenty more where that came from even though it at Ron I mean Ron Tomatoes for a movie that came out in 1986 doesn't really apply but 18% by critics 43% by audience.

697
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:33,240
I don't know I want to do some more of these 80s movies and find find some some older movies but for now I will be announcing our next movie it's a little bit further back.

698
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:41,240
It's it's got I think this has a very similar 80s vibe. I agree. I think it is from a bygone era these this kind of movie.

699
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:55,240
It is a little picture called Con Air from 1997 start Nicholas Cage and a shit ton of other fucking excited about this people speaking of a man.

700
01:15:55,240 --> 01:16:07,240
A movie made by men. Yeah or men. It's a real you know but that's what this podcast James is about is this you know we were living in a balance.

701
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:23,240
We're polarizing to establish a balance. We're going to both polar zones constantly constantly swinging back and forth between all sides of pop culture and we're trying to keep up we're trying to wade through and put our own mark on on everything going on out

702
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:33,240
but there's just there's so much stuff and sometimes we got to visit a little comfort food if you know what I mean.

703
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:47,240
Well that's a little teaser of how we're feeling about about Con Air but join us next time as we talk about a 58% critically reviewed movie versus a 75% audience reviewed movie.

704
