Best Movies of 2025, Oscar Predictions & What’s Worth Your Time

Episode Summary

What happens when pop culture obsession meets real-life movie watching habits? 🎬 In this episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane and Coco, the duo dives deep into the best movies of 2025, early Oscar predictions, and how streaming has fundamentally changed the way we experience film.

From standout performances by Michael B. Jordan, Brad Pitt, Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman, and more, to bold predictions about which films will dominate awards season, this conversation blends nostalgia, sharp analysis, and honest reactions. Blane and Coco unpack why some movies demand your full attention, why others work best as late-night streaming gems, and how directors like Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, Guillermo del Toro, and Christopher Nolan leave unmistakable fingerprints on their work.

Blaine and Coco. What's going on, Coco? Hey.

00:00:07.099 --> 00:00:09.580
Just hanging out after the Christmas holiday.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.060
It's almost New Year's. You know, like, it's,

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:15.279
it's, we're here. We're at 2026. It's coming

00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.539
up. Oh, look. Got my socks on. Got the twins

00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:20.800
on. Got the left and the right. I hope they're

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.519
on the right feet. I don't know if it's. I don't

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.960
know. I'm not even going to tell you how stretched

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.600
out they look when they're actually on. Oh, man.

00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.799
Did I get a gift sign or something? Pretend that's

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.259
not happening. We won't check at that. What else

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:37.759
did you get for Christmas over there? You got

00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.740
any more Christmas gifts to show? I love seeing

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:43.000
what people get. Yeah. Yesterday's episode, we

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.420
talked about... 2025 TV shows and all the things

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:52.700
and mine always and forever will be my top TV

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:58.700
show X files my parents got X files golden book

00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.219
Oh, man. Look at that. The truth is out there.

00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:03.560
You know, so that I can read it with my kids

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.359
and make sure that they are well -educated in

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.439
all of the creepy. Oh, I love it. Sewer Monster.

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.019
This was my very first episode I actually remember

00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:18.760
seeing when I was little. The Sewer Monster.

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.319
When I first watched The Sewer Monster, one that

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.099
comes out of out of the toilet. Yeah. Pretty

00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:26.519
creepy. There's another picture of it. I just

00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.620
started. I like to put something on in the background

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:33.000
while I work. And you'll love it. I just started

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.739
X -Files, season one, episode one, because it

00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:39.120
popped up on Disney, or Hulu, or one of those.

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.659
Yeah, it's on now. I've got an iPad right here.

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.340
I work right here. And I just have the iPad on.

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:48.459
And I run X -Files in the background. I love

00:01:48.459 --> 00:01:51.159
it. Yeah, that's a good one. I used to true.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.280
Trivia myself? Can you trivia yourself? I used

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.239
to check my X -Files fanatic skills and I would

00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.900
have somebody play an episode and see if I could

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:07.040
guess it within the first 30 seconds of listening

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.699
to it. I was very good. I knew all of the episode

00:02:10.699 --> 00:02:13.039
names too. I don't think I could do that anymore,

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.870
but I could probably describe it. But it made

00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:18.490
me pull out my collection. Now, I used to have

00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:24.169
a way bigger collection of X -Files collectibles.

00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:27.750
Unfortunately, hundreds and hundreds of dollars

00:02:27.750 --> 00:02:31.849
worth of books, postcards, posters, maps. I had

00:02:31.849 --> 00:02:34.729
everything, everything. And this is all that's

00:02:34.729 --> 00:02:37.909
left. And I've got the movie action figures.

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:42.729
Whoa, make Farland toys too. That's a huge collector's

00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.379
kit. Yeah, these are... These are, these have

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:50.280
seen many days, but I've got the movie, the truth

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.500
is out there, Mulder. I love that. And my absolute

00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:55.860
favorite, which I'm waiting, waiting, holding

00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:59.180
on to. Maybe someday there'll be money. We've

00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:02.120
got Mulder and Scully, the Barbie and Ken. Look

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.120
at that. That's incredible. You better lock those

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.319
away from the kids, not let anybody else touch

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.419
them. Put them in a humidor, what is it, a humidor?

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:13.500
Like a little, you know. I know. They haven't

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.460
been that well cared for. But they're still here.

00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:17.800
They're still kicking. They're still around.

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.060
Look at my action figure I got for Christmas

00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:24.680
here. Check this out. It's John Cena. What? He's

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.740
clear. Because his catchphrase is, you can't

00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:31.759
see me. So they made a John Cena Mattel doll

00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.300
that you can't see. And Lindsay happened to find

00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.919
me this bad boy. It's hard to find. Sold out

00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:38.900
everywhere. But she got me there. Hold on to

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.430
that one too. I love it. I thought that was one

00:03:41.430 --> 00:03:44.090
of the greatest action figures ever, that they

00:03:44.090 --> 00:03:47.550
put a legit clear version out. I just recognize

00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:49.090
this over here, too. Look, check out my ornament.

00:03:49.909 --> 00:03:51.990
Do you guys do ornaments every year, where you

00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:55.550
get an ornament, put the date on it? Sure. We

00:03:55.550 --> 00:03:57.710
get ones that are made out of popsicle sticks

00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.569
and glitter from the kids. Now, see, we get those,

00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:03.889
too. But we get a nice one to put away that's

00:04:03.889 --> 00:04:05.289
sentimental. And that's why this one's still

00:04:05.289 --> 00:04:07.569
in the box, because we can't get anything nice

00:04:07.569 --> 00:04:10.849
out. We got another. Ten twelve years before

00:04:10.849 --> 00:04:12.969
we get the nice Christmas shit out anymore, but

00:04:12.969 --> 00:04:15.669
check this one out. I Like this Lindsey got me

00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:20.870
this the cow It's from Central Park the catcher

00:04:20.870 --> 00:04:23.230
friends people know me It's not hard to get me

00:04:23.230 --> 00:04:24.629
anything. Like you said you said that before

00:04:24.629 --> 00:04:27.949
it's not hard I know when somebody has a thing

00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:30.750
and you know what their thing is. It's so easy.

00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:35.360
It's like there's you know Just get me something

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.259
from a TV show or a video game or whatever here.

00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:41.600
I mean, oh Look at this. I've got this evil thing

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.420
kids gave me this for Christmas. It's a la boo

00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:46.439
-boo Hmm. I'm not sure how I feel about him yet.

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.160
But yeah, I don't know either He's got a D. He's

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.360
got a D There was a sticker that came with him

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.680
and I don't think he's evil but he might be but

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.319
I hope not because the D says Here's the sticker

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.269
comes with him. Yeah, is it dollar? So I don't

00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:07.350
know if this is gonna be money for me right here

00:05:07.350 --> 00:05:10.750
this la boo -boo, but I'm gonna make sure that

00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:14.610
I Don't miss it money bring in the money. That's

00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:19.930
what is So mad powers are so Santa Santa gave

00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:22.930
everybody in the family some la boo -boos, right?

00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:24.509
And you know me and Lindsay got the two little

00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.490
ones keychain versions and the kids got the bigger

00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:31.110
ones. Well, my oldest is scared of the la boo

00:05:31.110 --> 00:05:35.019
-boo and He keeps chaining them, chaining up

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:37.319
the Labooboo or making cages out of Legos and

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.600
keeps it trapped in there. I walked in the other

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.060
day and there was a Lego board and the Labooboo

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:44.720
was strapped up like this. I went and chained

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.120
it. I said, what are you doing? He said, I don't

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.860
want to let it loose. I mean, that's fair. That's

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.589
fair. He's six years old, but he's got a little

00:05:55.589 --> 00:05:58.029
boo boo chained up. He's like, this dude's not

00:05:58.029 --> 00:06:00.610
coming alive at night. I'm going to wrap its

00:06:00.610 --> 00:06:03.889
creepy little arms around me and pull me under

00:06:03.889 --> 00:06:06.889
the bed or something. What's wrong? Why are these

00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:09.589
evil? Tammy, what's wrong with this thing? Well,

00:06:10.329 --> 00:06:13.649
I mean, it's kind of like, you know, what I think

00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:17.449
of as as the fey creatures that are, you know,

00:06:17.569 --> 00:06:20.759
maybe not evil, but just. You better treat me

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.519
right. I'm dangerous, right? OK. That's kind

00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.000
of the vibe I get from them, just in their little

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.120
creepy smile and their little eyes staring at

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.100
you and, you know, locking it away like a leprechaun

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.240
might not be such a bad idea. Your son might

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.160
have the right idea about that. You think so,

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.759
but I keep mine here in a place of prominence,

00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.699
in a place of power, because I don't want...

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.509
Keep an eye on that. Yeah, so now I'm thinking

00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:49.290
maybe we should cage the bad boy up, though,

00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:52.029
because I don't have a cage here. I would say,

00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:56.790
at least, you might want to appease it with some

00:06:56.790 --> 00:06:58.649
offerings once in a while. You know, if you're

00:06:58.649 --> 00:07:01.470
munching on a cookie, just leave some pieces

00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:04.829
of cookie for that little guy, and keep him happy.

00:07:05.670 --> 00:07:07.589
Feed it. You're saying feed it. Don't feed it

00:07:07.589 --> 00:07:10.009
after midnight like the gremlins, because that's

00:07:10.009 --> 00:07:13.269
when things go eight shit, as they say, right?

00:07:13.769 --> 00:07:17.050
Uh -huh. Mm -hmm. For sure. Let's talk about

00:07:17.050 --> 00:07:22.129
our movies of 2025. Yeah. We did TV shows, and

00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:25.170
now I want to talk about the best movies I saw,

00:07:25.209 --> 00:07:27.470
maybe the best ones I didn't see that we need

00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:29.930
to see. Mm -hmm. There's a lot more of those

00:07:29.930 --> 00:07:32.329
on my list. You know what? One of them just popped

00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:36.050
in my head. Sinners. Did you see Sinners? No.

00:07:36.670 --> 00:07:39.910
That movie right there was fire. It was not what

00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:45.579
I expected. You know what? I don't even really

00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:48.319
want to give spoilers. It's a bunch of racist

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.040
stuff in there. And you're like, holy cow. It's

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.819
like black people back when there was slavery

00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:58.980
and all this stuff. They had their hideaway.

00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:02.500
But then this movie takes an unexpected turn

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:05.779
where you're like, what the fuck? It's wild.

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.759
The music. Oh my god. On point. One of the best

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.120
music scenes I've seen. in a movie, actually

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.779
there was a Welcome the Dairy music scene, real

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:21.720
similar. But this movie, all the top actors you

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.660
can think of are in it. You had Michael B. Jordan

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:28.860
and all them, all the top A -listers. But this

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:30.899
movie was fun, and the music, like I said, and

00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:32.840
if you really pay attention to it, the songs

00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.460
are so creepy, but they're telling the story

00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:38.529
as you go. So. I loved it. I thought that was

00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:41.049
a solid one. You know what? I will make a prediction

00:08:41.049 --> 00:08:44.830
right now. Sinners will get nominated for an

00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:47.450
Oscar. It's going to be nominated for Picture

00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:50.830
of the Year. I could see it maybe not winning,

00:08:50.929 --> 00:08:54.570
but at least being in the talks of Picture of

00:08:54.570 --> 00:08:57.129
the Year. I think you can watch that on HBO Max

00:08:57.129 --> 00:08:59.350
now. But yeah, I liked it. I thought it was great.

00:08:59.669 --> 00:09:02.289
It's actually on Amazon Prime, too. So check

00:09:02.289 --> 00:09:05.129
that one out if you haven't. What do you got?

00:09:05.669 --> 00:09:09.090
There you go. I have a couple that stood out

00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:11.950
to me. And really, I've watched them all just

00:09:11.950 --> 00:09:14.570
in the last couple months. I mean, we're at an

00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:20.669
age now where going to the movies is not as easy

00:09:20.669 --> 00:09:23.590
as it used to be. I mean, you know, we're at

00:09:23.590 --> 00:09:27.070
an age, just you and I, we've little kids and

00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:28.529
going to the movie theaters is just something

00:09:28.529 --> 00:09:32.240
so rare. So everything that comes out. we're

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.559
going to see it when it comes out a couple of

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.299
months later streaming, more so than jumping

00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:39.259
on that bandwagon opening night kind of a deal,

00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:42.740
unless it's a really big anticipated movie. But

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.539
I've seen a couple of these movies just in the

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:47.019
last couple of months. So the one that we watched

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:51.639
not too long ago was The Venetian. Oh, yeah.

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.299
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Benicio del Toro. Michael Cera

00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:02.899
was in it. Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah, yeah,

00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:04.899
I was gonna say the Wes Anderson movies have

00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:11.000
just the absolute Right Characteristics, you

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.960
know, you know what you know what you're gonna

00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:19.899
get into this kind of weird bantery Clipped talking

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:22.200
back and forth kind of vibe. I mean, they're

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.000
all kind of like that, but I love it. I love

00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:29.529
Wes Anderson is definitely one of those directors

00:10:29.529 --> 00:10:32.909
that has a director trademark. Like, he's got

00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:35.629
certain things that you're like, oh, that's Wes

00:10:35.629 --> 00:10:38.250
Anderson. You don't have to see his name on there.

00:10:38.269 --> 00:10:41.289
I love it, you know? Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wasn't

00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:44.929
that one of his too? Was that him? Yeah. Fantastic.

00:10:45.029 --> 00:10:47.710
Oh, I don't know. I think that was one. That

00:10:47.710 --> 00:10:49.649
was the animated one with George Clooney played

00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:51.690
the fox. I love that one. There was a bunch of

00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:55.399
these. Yep, I think you're right. Yep, same type

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.840
of dialogue, same all that, but you know, not

00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.320
live action, but it was, you know it's him. Yeah.

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.019
That's a great definition. Can you imagine not

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.539
knowing what a Wes Henderson movie was going

00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:07.379
to be like and then watching it for the first

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:10.840
time as you're just like, what am I watching?

00:11:11.419 --> 00:11:14.340
I mean, I think he's one of those polarizing

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:16.120
directors. I think people either love or hate

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.259
him too. I mean, you know, if you don't like

00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:22.850
him. I'm gonna question some stuff about your

00:11:22.850 --> 00:11:26.429
life, but you know, it's... I mean, it's art.

00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:29.049
It's up for interpretation. Everybody, you know,

00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:31.049
comes at it with their own personal experience

00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:33.649
and can interpret that how they see fit. But

00:11:33.649 --> 00:11:35.929
I really loved this movie in particular because

00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:40.289
it was, to me, it seemed like a real play with

00:11:40.289 --> 00:11:44.570
morality. Like, with the daughter being a nun

00:11:44.570 --> 00:11:51.159
and Benicio Teltoro plays this wealthy man that

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.039
maybe got his wealth in not so moral ways and

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.960
somehow survives several plane crashes, which

00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.860
is hilarious and strange and a little magical,

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:08.230
there's a little superstitious magic to it. It's

00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:10.190
this relationship between him and his daughter

00:12:10.190 --> 00:12:13.009
where he's been basically estranged from her.

00:12:13.230 --> 00:12:15.129
She really wants nothing to do with him because

00:12:15.129 --> 00:12:17.210
she thinks he's a very corrupt individual and

00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:19.409
she's become a nun and she's devoting her life

00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:22.470
to God. But then there's this play with like,

00:12:22.549 --> 00:12:27.350
well, maybe I can do good here as his heiress

00:12:27.350 --> 00:12:31.330
to his fortunes and his business and learn from

00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:33.149
him at the same time. So you go through this

00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:36.700
whole storyline that's obviously very wacky and

00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:41.600
crazy and super fun. Tom Hanks. Let's go to another

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.580
crazy storyline that's fun, and guess who is

00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:49.879
involved in this one? Benicio del Toro. One battle

00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.340
after another, Paul Thomas Anderson, not Wes

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:55.860
Anderson, another Anderson. This movie for me

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:59.620
will probably, and this is why it says Sinners

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:03.000
won't win the Picture of the Year if it's nominated.

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:05.080
One battle after another is going to win Picture

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.600
of the Year. Leo, Krusty, there's going to be

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.620
some actors, supporting, best supporting actors

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:15.080
in this as well that win. Could be Benicio himself.

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:19.019
Could be Sean Penn. Could be Tiana Taylor. Could

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:23.320
be Regina Hall. Bunch of people in here. Like

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.879
this movie for me, I even said, not very often,

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.720
and you said it too, it's hard to go to theaters.

00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:34.250
It's especially hard to go when the movie's three

00:13:34.250 --> 00:13:37.070
fucking hours long. Yeah, you know, I didn't

00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:39.809
get long So I had to wait for it to hit HBO Max

00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:43.970
But I did get it and this is the only movie I

00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:47.090
can remember being this long in the last couple

00:13:47.090 --> 00:13:50.190
of years That I sat and watched in one city.

00:13:50.289 --> 00:13:53.750
I could not get up. I didn't care Anything else

00:13:53.750 --> 00:13:55.629
was going on. I had to see the rest of this movie

00:13:55.629 --> 00:13:59.450
You know, it was it's wild. It's a wild ride

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.000
It's not actually what I expected either even

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.879
from watching the trailers Not what you expect.

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.360
So go check that one out HBO Max one battle after

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.299
another and mark my damn words right here Oscar

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:15.980
all the way for this movie. Yeah Yeah, I mean

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:20.480
I I'm one of those that The Academy Awards it's

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.679
a lot of politics that goes into all that you

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.100
never know But I do think it's more fun than

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:29.019
the Super Bowl for me personally, because I like

00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:32.200
to sit and make my guesses, who's going to win,

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.240
what's going to happen. And you never know when

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.100
you watch the Academy Awards, what wild thing,

00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:39.379
like who's going to get slapped this year is

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:43.259
going to happen. So I mean, you know, it is what

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:44.980
it is. You take it with a grain of salt, but

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:47.179
I love watching it. It's super fun. So I'm excited

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:50.080
to see what comes up in those nominations this

00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.159
year. What do you got? You got an Oscar winner

00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.220
coming in there? You got one that you would put

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:57.899
in that category that you saw? Well, I don't

00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:01.580
know if I'm qualified to even try and guess which

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:03.600
movies of this past year. Although I like to

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.659
see what's nominated when that comes out and

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:07.259
then go catch up and watch all the ones that

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:09.779
are nominated and make sure I'm familiar with

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:13.980
them. One I think should be on there is The Roses.

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:18.419
That's what I watched recently on Hulu. The Roses,

00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.919
Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. Also,

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.669
Kate McKinnon and Andy Samberg make appearances

00:15:26.669 --> 00:15:29.570
in this movie. They are fantastic. I love them.

00:15:30.049 --> 00:15:33.370
Okay, yeah. Director J. Rose. Oh, guess who's

00:15:33.370 --> 00:15:37.230
another awesome, amazing X -Files fan? Kate McKinnon.

00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:39.250
She dressed up like Scully for Halloween when

00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:42.549
she was young and so did I. We are kindred spirits.

00:15:43.269 --> 00:15:46.389
I love her. I feel like we would be best friends

00:15:46.389 --> 00:15:52.149
if we met. So, but this movie, The Roses, it's

00:15:52.149 --> 00:15:58.220
so realistic and also exaggerated all at the

00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:02.299
same time. A married couple moves to America.

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:06.179
I think they meet in London and they live in

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:08.320
America because they're both ambitious in their

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.259
careers and want to start a family. He's an architect.

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:17.259
She's a chef. But it's kind of this long -term

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:23.590
look at how that ambition and that working together

00:16:23.590 --> 00:16:26.350
to make each of their dreams happen while raising

00:16:26.350 --> 00:16:30.590
a kid, raising a family. It kind of gets messy

00:16:30.590 --> 00:16:34.710
and emotionally tangled in resentment towards

00:16:34.710 --> 00:16:37.409
each other. They like this perfect couple. They

00:16:37.409 --> 00:16:39.690
really get along. They're super fun together.

00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:43.309
They seem really passionate. But over time, as

00:16:43.309 --> 00:16:45.389
circumstances happen that really aren't in their

00:16:45.389 --> 00:16:51.610
control, it breeds this sort of crazy ride that

00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:56.750
they go on this road to divorce, basically. Oh,

00:16:56.830 --> 00:16:59.909
gosh. But it's fantastic. Who's your standout

00:16:59.909 --> 00:17:02.950
from this movie here? Is it Cumberbatch himself,

00:17:02.950 --> 00:17:04.990
or is it somebody else that takes this? I mean,

00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:07.049
Benedict Cumberbatch is pretty great in almost

00:17:07.049 --> 00:17:08.829
everything that he does. Although we can't pronounce

00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:12.329
Penguin. Sorry, Benedict. Sorry for that. But

00:17:12.329 --> 00:17:17.890
you can't do it. But I will say this. Olivia

00:17:17.890 --> 00:17:21.710
Colman is my favorite. Of the two in this movie

00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:24.789
in particular. She's incredible. I mean, I really

00:17:24.789 --> 00:17:28.069
I watch it and I say she is hilariously funny

00:17:28.069 --> 00:17:32.369
So genuine her acting is so you completely forget.

00:17:32.369 --> 00:17:35.289
She's playing a character. She just is absolutely

00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:39.170
authentic Those are the best. Those are the best

00:17:39.170 --> 00:17:41.730
I gotta talk about a movie that I didn't see

00:17:41.730 --> 00:17:44.450
but it just popped in my mind and I know I need

00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:48.480
to Because we were talking about Oscars And I

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.339
think it'll get some Oscar love. And I'm talking

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:54.839
about Netflix Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:59.019
Now, I watched maybe the first 10 minutes, 15

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.900
minutes of this, and I could tell. I'm like,

00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.500
I ain't ready for this right now. That's exactly

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:08.900
what I did. I was like, this needs its own time,

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.579
and I'm not ready for it. I did. I turned it

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.920
on, and I was like, well, this is going to be

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.839
one of those. that's going to be an experience

00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.859
that I need to revel in. And this ain't the time.

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.019
You know, that's how I felt. But I know I can

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:31.539
tell that this is going to be a must -see, maybe

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:34.700
more than one -time watch. I think it's a new

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:37.160
spin on Frankenstein, or it's a retelling of

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.099
the story in Guillermo's way, which you've seen

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:43.000
some Guillermo movies. I can only imagine. This

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.519
thing's going to be fucked up. Like, that's just...

00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:48.970
But you know what I was struck by is the imagery.

00:18:49.289 --> 00:18:50.990
And I was watching what made me want to watch

00:18:50.990 --> 00:18:55.950
it. And I haven't yet. But the comparisons that

00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:59.609
artists were pulling up of famous Renaissance

00:18:59.609 --> 00:19:02.769
paintings and moments in that movie. And I'm

00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:06.049
like, oh, it can't be a coincidence. That's too

00:19:06.049 --> 00:19:08.990
beautiful. And I think that's going to be the

00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:12.450
visuals of that movie are going to be what stands

00:19:12.450 --> 00:19:15.519
out. Yeah, just that opening scene. It was, like,

00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.720
so realistic, where they were on the boat and

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.319
the fog. And, you know, it was, I could see.

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:23.160
I was like, all right, this is, this is going

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.359
to be one. So yeah, I can't wait to get to that.

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.259
It was a long one, I think, too. And that's probably

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:31.779
why I wasn't in the right frame of mind. It was

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.619
one of those nights. And I'm telling, and when

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.099
I say that, I'm not saying anything negative

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:39.460
about the movie. I'm talking negative about myself

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:41.700
on that, because. I just wanted something on

00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:44.559
in the background and I knew this wasn't going

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.079
to be one of those where you just put on and

00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.920
you can search your phone or do whatever you

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.000
want. No, no, no, no. You better lock in. It's

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.339
about to be a ride. You know, I can't wait to

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:58.440
get to that one. So things deserve the respect

00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.779
of your attention. And that brings up a good

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:04.140
point because you said when things are streaming

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:06.839
versus going to a theater like the olden days,

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.789
you go. see a movie and you had nothing to do

00:20:09.789 --> 00:20:12.329
but sit there and watch the movie start to finish.

00:20:12.730 --> 00:20:14.930
Now that we do it mostly streaming, I wonder

00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:18.710
how that impacts the difference between how we

00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:23.309
actually soak in the story. Because if we're

00:20:23.309 --> 00:20:25.230
doing it in sections, for example, we're like,

00:20:25.329 --> 00:20:26.470
all right, we don't really have time to watch

00:20:26.470 --> 00:20:27.890
this whole movie. I'm going to watch half of

00:20:27.890 --> 00:20:30.930
it now and half of it later. That kind of breaking

00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:35.109
it up, what impact does that have on how we feel

00:20:35.109 --> 00:20:41.079
about the movie or how it how it, we soak it

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.160
in. No, that's a very, no that's a great point

00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.960
because here's a prime example is TV shows that

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.299
are weekly. If someone watches the show weekly,

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.680
it feels a lot slower than when you sit there

00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.640
and you binge watch it. So you're seeing it in

00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.619
those chunks, it may not be the 15 minute chunk

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:03.980
like you might watch a movie, might be the 45

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:07.720
minute episode every week and then wait. Seven

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.880
days to see another one. You got those gaps.

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:14.720
You're only seeing it in chunks. It is a different

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.400
watch than when you binge watch all of it back

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.319
and back. You're going to process it differently.

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:24.960
You're going to have more thoughts and predictions.

00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:30.019
And you might even go back and re -watch before

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:33.380
the next part comes out. And you may see things

00:21:33.380 --> 00:21:36.839
that foreshadow later plot lines that you didn't

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.240
you wouldn't normally see. No, I see that. I

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.279
could get that. I could see that you don't see

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.460
that. What other movie did you have that stuck

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:54.059
out? Just watched F1, Brad Pitt. I'm a race fan,

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.299
but I always watch the Indy 500 because I'm from

00:21:56.299 --> 00:22:01.140
Indianapolis. So I'm into that, but I don't usually

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:04.319
watch NASCAR or other types. And now After watching

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.640
this movie, I am really interested in F1 because

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.500
I was like, wait a second. I didn't know this

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:15.960
is what it was. I didn't understand teams. I

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.380
didn't understand what everybody's role was in

00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:23.180
getting these races done and winning. Incredible.

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.119
Not only do they have teams of drivers on the

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.680
track, they got a team of people behind. They

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.700
got the highest technology you've ever seen.

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.319
doing crazy stuff with his car. I'm right there

00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.500
with you. I put that movie on late at night,

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:42.640
and it was one that I was like, yep, I'm going

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.900
to lock in. Actually, I turned it off and went

00:22:45.900 --> 00:22:50.319
to the big TV. I got a nice theater room. I was

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.799
like, this is going to have to be one I watch

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:55.460
in here with a surround sound. Love it. Thought

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:59.640
Brad Pitt crushed it. I'm kind of glad they didn't

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.579
make him. Win every damn race. It was like it

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:06.799
was messy. It was ugly how he Helped get stuff

00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:08.619
done, but that's kind of what you would expect.

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:10.480
You wouldn't expect some guy to come in there

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.460
with these other these are Athletes these guys

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:18.319
driving those cars are freaking athletes to be

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.400
able to react in that Amount of time and do that

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.640
like I wouldn't expect some guy that never did

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.920
it before to come in and whip everybody's ass

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.900
Uh -uh didn't happen here They did a great job

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:32.119
of being able to tell that story and make us

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.599
interested. That's a plot device by Apple there,

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.660
because next season, F1 comes to Apple. So you'll

00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:46.299
get to see some of these races. Yeah. I'm excited

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:48.819
about it too, because I watch NASCAR. I've been

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:52.920
to NASCAR races. I used to work for NASCAR and

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.299
run some of the races for them in radio. I never

00:23:57.299 --> 00:24:01.700
looked at f1 it was f1 was the european racing

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:04.819
and then you know yeah nascar is the south and

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:08.240
this and that but i think this is a incredible

00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.839
sport these guys are legitimate athletes like

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.980
to be able to i mean that yeah don't get me started

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:18.299
i want to get an f1 car i think that'd be fun

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:20.799
yeah i think the movie did an excellent job of

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:23.940
i mean and and just the the logistics of putting

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:28.259
a movie together like that that um I think they

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:31.380
did an excellent job of the special effects.

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:34.960
If anybody was going to win an Oscar for that,

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:38.039
this movie might do really well. I don't know.

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.619
And again, I'm not qualified. Honestly, I don't

00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:43.380
think there was a lot of special effects involved.

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.500
I think it was real. I mean, that still counts

00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:48.559
as special effects. But I don't think it was

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.759
CGI. I think they were really out there. I mean,

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:55.740
they did say Brad Pitt actually got in. to F1

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:59.319
cars and races, and no one actually knew he was

00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:01.880
out there. So they swapped out their drivers.

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.920
So he was really racing at some point in this

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.480
process. I think he really learned how to do

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.880
all this stuff. That was very cool to me. I'm

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.839
definitely going to be watching F1, the racing

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.750
when it comes on. It's going to be fun. Yeah,

00:25:17.769 --> 00:25:19.670
it makes you appreciate it. All the strategy

00:25:19.670 --> 00:25:22.730
and planning and every part of the team that

00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:26.349
went into each race and the car, the engineering

00:25:26.349 --> 00:25:30.150
of the car, and they showed that. I was really

00:25:30.150 --> 00:25:32.109
fascinated. I was really into it, but it was

00:25:32.109 --> 00:25:36.309
also just a great movie. What's your husband

00:25:36.309 --> 00:25:37.990
Matt? Did he watch it? What did he think about

00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:41.099
it? He's a car guy, right? Oh, yeah, he loved

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:43.640
it. In fact, he was like, you know, of all the

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.339
races and all of the different circuits that

00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:48.700
you can race, F1, if you win F1, it's like the

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:50.880
top of the top. It's the cream of the crop races.

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:57.019
So. I mean, it's incredible how they react that

00:25:57.019 --> 00:26:00.180
fast. Like it's I know we can't do it. We're

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:02.819
normal. We're normal. I like to say I'm pretty

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:06.000
good at Mario Kart, but truthfully, I have all

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.400
the little assists going on on the Mario Kart

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.079
to kind of like bowling with bumpers, so I'm

00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.519
not really as good as I think I am. Let's talk

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.880
about some of the 2026 movies that I'm looking

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.940
forward to. Yeah. We got it. Did you know that

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:23.019
Christopher Nolan's dropping a hit this year?

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.960
I must call it a hit already. The Odyssey, that's

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.240
coming out. I can't wait for that. Yeah. They

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.980
were reading a book in high school and all that,

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.799
and I actually enjoyed that one. So I can't wait

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:38.869
to see Odysseus' story. Especially from Christopher

00:26:38.869 --> 00:26:42.269
Nolan. He's probably up there with my top tier.

00:26:42.990 --> 00:26:47.890
He's definitely an S plus tier director. And

00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:50.109
a stellar. I mean, you got all these movies that

00:26:50.109 --> 00:26:52.509
he's put so much work into. I don't see this

00:26:52.509 --> 00:26:55.029
being any less. And I'm really hyped up about

00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:57.890
it. But what do you think? What do you got a

00:26:57.890 --> 00:27:03.049
2026 list of movies you're ready to see? There

00:27:03.049 --> 00:27:07.299
seems to be a I don't know much about it, but

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:11.319
the sequel to Devil Wears Prada. It is. The Devil

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.160
Wears Prada 2. And I'm interested to see what

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:19.420
that is and what that looks like. Man. That's

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:21.140
going to be a hyped up sequel. People begin,

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:24.559
yeah, go ahead. Just a lot of the things that,

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:27.140
probably a lot of people listening right now,

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.180
you know, we're just average Joes like everybody.

00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:34.740
Because I haven't gone to the theaters, that's

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:36.900
where I see all the trailers for the new movies

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:39.000
coming out. So I saw the trailer for The Odyssey.

00:27:39.019 --> 00:27:41.180
I was really excited about that. That looks really

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:45.279
kind of dark almost. It does. It does. I'm very

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.279
excited about that. But I haven't seen what's

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.740
coming up next so much as I have all of these

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:54.019
movies that came out in 2025 that I haven't seen

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:56.099
yet because I've been waiting for them to come

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:58.480
out on streaming. What are you looking forward

00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.420
to seeing? Well, one of the ones that I thought

00:28:01.420 --> 00:28:05.099
would be a super fun movie to see is Facom Hall.

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.859
It's like a parody of a Downton Abbey period

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:13.200
pieces type, but it's a comedy. I keep seeing

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.640
the trailers pop up and I'm like, I got to see

00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.440
that somewhere when it's available. When it comes

00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.880
into my view, I'm going to see that one. I think

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.279
that counts for 2026. I think that still counts.

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.980
It's 2026 in my world, in the world of ketchup

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:32.599
and getting caught up on all those great movies

00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:35.819
that came out already, right? The Woman in Cabin

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:39.539
10 looks really good. I want to see that. The

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:43.420
Wake Up Dead Man Knives Out movie I still haven't

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:47.940
seen, but I love the Knives Out mystery movies.

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:51.960
My husband keeps bringing up Age of Disclosure.

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:55.420
There you go. See, maybe me and Matt should sit

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:57.420
and watch that one together. Maybe that's me

00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:59.680
and Matt, because you know how I feel about the

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.759
age of Disclosure? And Disclosure is coming out

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.940
in 2026. That's the movie. Steven Spielberg,

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.900
that's going to be, woo. Coincidence? I think

00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:14.980
not. That one's been on my mind. I really got

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:18.819
to see the age of Disclosure, and I want to see

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:22.240
Disclosure, the movie. You got it. You got another

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.079
huge sequel coming out that I know Devil Wears

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.259
Prada 2 people got hyped up about, but Avengers

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:34.259
Doomsday? Oh, yep. I saw that. People are going

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:37.339
to lose their minds. Some trailers have already

00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:39.720
dropped. We saw Steve Rogers come back already.

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:42.259
It's going to be, they're going to reset some

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:45.200
of the bullshit that Marvel has pulled off in

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.640
the last couple of years and get it back in line.

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:51.480
I fell off of Marvel for a little bit. I was

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.400
like, man, there's too many movies coming out.

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:58.000
Yeah, I could see that. Nowhere near the comic

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:01.500
book nerd type person to have been deep dive

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:04.380
into all of that. But I do think it's fascinating

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:07.819
to try to watch all the Avengers movies in they

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:11.380
have both release date order or chronological

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:14.440
order as far as where they. when they take place.

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:16.759
So I think that's fascinating. And maybe I'll

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:18.240
have to do that to get ready for this new movie

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.380
coming out. You're going to have to. Ketchup,

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.759
movie marathon. I think there's a Spider -Man

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.019
movie coming out also. Another Spider -Man will

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:28.380
be dropping. Have to see that with the kids.

00:30:28.380 --> 00:30:31.500
That's in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, that'll

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:34.599
be in the Marvel Universe. There's another Masters

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.319
of the Universe. There's a He -Man movie dropping

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:39.140
this year. I can't wait for that. I'm a He -Man

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:42.769
fan. Skeletal World. Yeah. Yeah, they're very

00:30:42.769 --> 00:30:44.869
much taking our generation and they're going

00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:48.150
like, what did they watch on TV when they were

00:30:48.150 --> 00:30:51.950
this age that we can capitalize on now as their

00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:54.089
adults? Or could it just make a movie out of

00:30:54.089 --> 00:30:57.930
it? Or what movie did they watch? Like Scream

00:30:57.930 --> 00:31:01.690
7 coming out in 2026, you know? Sure, they'll

00:31:01.690 --> 00:31:03.750
get me with that. I love Scream. I love the Scream

00:31:03.750 --> 00:31:07.680
series. You know, a good friend of mine... She

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.579
had her 13 -year -old just turned 13 and is a

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:14.740
big fan of Scream. So she had David Arquette

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:18.119
send her a happy birthday video. I saw that.

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:20.339
I know who you're talking about. I saw that was

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:22.559
awesome. David Arquette out there doing things.

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.099
If you're listening, David, thank you so much

00:31:25.099 --> 00:31:28.359
for that. It made her birthday. She loved it.

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:30.680
He's a good human being. That's all I've ever

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.779
heard. I can't say nothing bad about him. Good

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:37.460
human being. WCW world champion at one time,

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.039
wrestling champion. People hate that. They hate

00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.279
that he was a champion, but it still gets talked

00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.279
about. So it's OK. That's what wrestling is.

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:48.799
You do stuff to let people talk about it. David

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:50.900
Arquette was the worst world champion of all

00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:53.779
time. It's better than being no world champion

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:56.559
of all time, if you ask me. David Arquette, I

00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.500
loved it. I thought it was great. Let me talk

00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:00.539
about some other movies that are coming out.

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:03.660
Toy Story 5 there's another sequel playing off

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:07.099
of us. I was gonna mention that too. Yeah, I

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:11.339
I'm a little curious about that one Because I'm

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:14.380
like, wait, did we not wrap up that story a couple

00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:18.680
of times? But you know what? I'm not mad about

00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.180
it. I've loved everyone that's come out even

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:24.980
when I think there's no more story to tell about

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:29.430
Woody and Buzz We get another movie, and it makes

00:32:29.430 --> 00:32:33.150
me cry, and it's fantastic. So we'll keep doing

00:32:33.150 --> 00:32:37.150
this. We're good. Getting lots of sequels, prequels.

00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:41.170
You got another Hunger Games movie coming out,

00:32:42.269 --> 00:32:44.369
another Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers

00:32:44.369 --> 00:32:48.410
Galaxies coming out. You got a new Exorcist movie

00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:50.269
coming out, too. The Exorcist Deceiver. I was

00:32:50.269 --> 00:32:52.829
just going to say, I'm like, did you see the

00:32:52.829 --> 00:32:55.900
Exorcist movie? That one's going to be fire right

00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:57.119
there. Now, who's going to be in that thing?

00:32:57.180 --> 00:32:59.559
Do we know anybody that's? It's a Mike Flanagan

00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.160
film, I think, isn't it? Oh, my gosh. I love

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.099
Mike Flanagan. This is the Mike Flanagan Scarlett

00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:08.200
Johansson exorcist film that's coming out. That's

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:11.759
going to be the one. That's going to be fun right

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:15.019
there. We do like Mike Flanagan. I love Mike

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:18.000
Flanagan. I do. What other movie? What other?

00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:19.539
What else you got out there that you need to

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:21.279
see or you're looking forward to? Because I think

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.529
I've said all of them. They don't have many more

00:33:23.529 --> 00:33:26.670
to say, so. Yeah, I'm going to have to get myself

00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:30.470
to the theater or get myself online and run through

00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:32.890
some trailers and really search it out what's

00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:37.049
coming up. I do have two other plugs for my favorites

00:33:37.049 --> 00:33:39.569
this year. So for those who are looking for something

00:33:39.569 --> 00:33:42.190
to watch and want to catch up, I'm going to say

00:33:42.190 --> 00:33:44.789
two documentaries that really impacted me this

00:33:44.789 --> 00:33:48.769
year. Come See Me in the Good Light on Apple

00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:53.079
about the... The Life and Dying of Andrea Gibson,

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.220
the poetry poet. Fantastic. Absolutely changes

00:33:59.220 --> 00:34:01.859
my view of life and dying and everything and

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:04.559
it's beautiful and you'll cry and you'll cry

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.299
in the best way and it's wonderful. So come see

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:09.780
me in the good light, go see that. In fact, I

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:13.539
might do a separate episode just all about that

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:17.760
and a special bonus episode, but we'll tease

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.420
that later. And the other one was Will and Harper.

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:22.179
I don't know if it came out this year. It might

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:24.619
have come out last year. But Will and Harper's

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:29.679
on Netflix. Will Ferrell and his friend Harper,

00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:32.539
who was a friend of his at SNL, is a fellow writer

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:35.460
who came out as trans. And they do this road

00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:37.780
trip across the country to rekindle their friendship

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:40.239
and to kind of see what it means to be friends

00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:45.599
now that their identity is different than it

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.320
was when they started their friendship, right?

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.719
Yes. That was an incredibly moving story and

00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.380
I absolutely loved it and I recommend it to everybody

00:34:53.380 --> 00:34:59.980
because when you see their friendship, how it's

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:03.840
evolved and also grown and become more vulnerable

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:08.460
and what does it mean to have a man decide he

00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:12.599
can be friends with a woman even when he knew

00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:16.929
her as a man previously? Like, how does that

00:35:16.929 --> 00:35:20.750
change how he, Will Ferrell, feels about her?

00:35:21.130 --> 00:35:23.309
And like, can they still be friends? Can they

00:35:23.309 --> 00:35:25.030
still relate to each other? Do they still have

00:35:25.030 --> 00:35:27.070
enough in common? What does that look like? What

00:35:27.070 --> 00:35:29.670
does that feel like? And it just made me think,

00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:32.489
you know what, why does it have to be a trans

00:35:32.489 --> 00:35:35.969
woman? Why can't it just be people? Like, why

00:35:35.969 --> 00:35:38.730
can't people just decide that they have things

00:35:38.730 --> 00:35:41.090
in common and can be friends with another person?

00:35:41.590 --> 00:35:44.619
So it asks all those really like... intriguing

00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:48.260
questions that I loved. Good. Good. It should.

00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.980
And made me love Will Ferrell even more. Yeah.

00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:53.019
It really should. And you got it right right

00:35:53.019 --> 00:35:56.400
there. Like, we're all one. And I didn't get

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.679
the chance to see that yet, but I know that from

00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.840
what I saw from that show was beautiful. It was

00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.539
a great story. And how things should be. How

00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:11.239
things should be is what it is. You know, I love

00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.929
it. I can't wait to see. all these movies and

00:36:13.929 --> 00:36:17.250
more in 2026. Parallel Frequencies, Just Plain,

00:36:17.349 --> 00:36:19.510
and Coco. Until next time, we'll see you guys.
