I said, we're here to talk about some twisters, some windy objects
in the air, and you know, we did the Twister retro. I
grew hype on this movie after seeing the first trailer. I kind of thought
this one was gonna slip through the tracks for me until I saw the trailer,
and I'm like, man, I'm seeing this day one who's reviewing it
with me? Taylor Field? Is Taylor Field, what do you think of
this movie? Spoiler free of course, and then we'll get into spoilers.
I thought going in, I knew what this was going to be based on
the trailers. I'll just say that. But getting into the movie and actually
indulging in what we to see, it was actually quite surprising. I really
was connecting the characters and well, there definitely bears some resemblance to the first
film. It just felt like it was its own thing, and the CGI
was great. I can really appreciate the how the technology has improved since the
original Twister in terms of just showcasing a tornado. But there was just a
good vibe in this movie. I was really really connecting to the story and
just the tribulation that our main character has. And yeah, I just I
really had a good time with this. When I was I was in the
theater, the movie was about to start. People started clapping and then this
woman shout out in the back Twisters. I was like, WHOA, Okay,
this is a rowdy crowds So it was a good time and I would
happily rewatch this movie actually, and I wish the Masson was able to join
me. She had to stay with the little one, so I saw by
my lonesome. But I really I want to take her to go see this.
Actually, I want to go see it again in theaters. I had
a really really good time watching it. I'm gonna be recommending it to people.
And I think Glenn Powell really stood out in this. I really liked
his character, and I liked how the trailers sell you on Can I say
this, Yeah, I can say this. The trailers sell you on his
character in one light, but the movie just does a great job at expanding
his character and really getting to know him, know his history and get to
see how he kind of not not that he kind of turns into this specific
kind of character, but he's always been just this kind of character. And
then you think you can you assume what he is, and then it just
kind of, you know, the layers, the onion layers kind of peel
off and you have to see like the real hymn and whatnot. It's just
I think every character is really really good in this, and it has a
nice as I mentioned already, a similar note to the original Twister, but
it feels like it's almost the opposite inside out version, where it's I guess
reversed in this sense how things in the story kind of transition out. I'll
I'll explain that in more detail when we get into the spoilers version. But
as far as like the music goes too, I was jiving with it.
This This film had some absolutely terrifying moments that scared the daylights out of me.
It wasn't any kind of forced humor, but it just had these small
little comedic beats that make you laugh and chuckle, which I think was great.
And Yeah, I think it does a lot of justice and is a
real worthy successor to that first Twister. Yeah. No, I'm I'm pretty
similar to you. Actually, I you know, if you the listeners listen
to our retro there, I was. I was saying how happy I was
that I watched that first movie going into it, just to kind of taper
my expectations because that because we rewatching the first one, it was a much
different movie than I remember it being. Not I'm not saying I was expecting
aliens or anything, but I just figured that there was like a very I
don't. I don't even know, Like instead of it being like a science
experiment, it's just like characters trying to survive from the Twister and like escape
it. Like I just didn't really remember the main plot there, and like
at the end of the day, it's it is a very basic plot,
Like it's just like all they're trying to do is just get you know,
the Dorothy experiment into the tornado so that they can read it. And that's
all they're trying to do, and and and it's just that and and we're
along for the ride. And I really like that movie for what it is,
but I think this one is just across the board a straight up better
movie, like like better character moments, better plot line with like it's it
definitely has similar story beats and like moments to the first one. And I
liked it because it's it didn't feel like they were just trying to like redo
it maybe on a larger scale. It was like I I took it in
like they're kind of tipping their hat to that, to that classic Twister movie
and not necessarily trying to be like a direct sequel, because it's like it's
not like we have reoccurring characters or anything. The only thing that's reoccurring is
Dorothy you know, of course, makes an appearance at some point in this
movie. I'll say that in ambiguity, but yeah, no, it's it
really really surprised me, like in the sense of where my expectation was going
to be just a very basic story, but it went a couple of notches
above that, and for that reason, I was I was really happy for
that. Shay actually came with me to this one reluctantly initially, but she
hadn't seen the first Twister and she was expecting to just be absolutely stupid,
and she said that it was it was much better than she was expecting it
to be. I think something that really lifts this movie is the act like
the actors. I think Glenn Powell was, Yeah, he was fantastic.
But the the big stand up for me was actually Daisy Edgar Jones. She
was like the lead character Kate. I haven't seen her in anything, I
recognized her face and it's because like I just pulled up her IMDb after the
movie and she was in Where the craw Dads Sing, and I haven't seen
that movie, but her face is just like the poster, so like,
I think I've seen like the poster of it so many times, so I
just recognized her face for a good movie. For that aspect, it's like
a weird drama like Twisty One, isn't it? Or is it? Or
am I thinking of a different movie? I'd say it's a drama, but
it's it's a like a feel good kind of not even like a thriller.
It's got a little bit of romance and a little drama. Okay, it's
not like a notebook, but if to me, I feel like it's like
a notebook in an interesting way, a little bit of like, yeah,
drama added in. Yeah, I'll definitely have to added to the list because
I loved her. I think she was I think she was like the major
standout. I think Glenn Palell was fantastic, but I was expecting him to
be that. There was a couple other memorable faces. Like I didn't realize
David corn Sweat it was going to be in this movie of course, the
our New Superman for Superman Legacy that's gonna be coming out. Shit, I
don't think I've seen him in anything too, So it was kind of fun
to get him here in a very non main role, like he is a
very side character. He's just kind of oh that's right. Yeah, he
was the he's like the theater guy. Isn't he the one that's showing Pearl
of the movies? I think that's who he is. Yeah, okay,
so there you go. He that would have been my first experience with him,
but I guess this is my first movie knowing who he is and like
that he's going to be Superman and you know, like he definitely has the
physique of Superman and you can tell he was getting in shape for that at
least during the filming of this one. He was like fuilled out guy.
Yeah, especially in that like white dresser that they had him in the back
was just it was just huge. But you know, I I I I
liked him for what his character was like, Like, this is definitely not
the role that I would really judge his full acting because it's just it's pretty
sert level. He's just kind of an asshole. But yeah, it was
fun to have him in there. A couple other ones that post popped up,
like we had Angel from Nope, Brandon Perea and Katie m O'Brien who
was in. It's funny I forgot about her when I think it was actually,
you know, breaking the fourth wall here just last night when Travis brought
her up from was it was it? And or when when she was like
the officer that was obsessed with like the clause Mandalorian was it okay? So
yeah, that character she popped up in there. So yeah, just like
a couple of memorable faces that I wasn't expecting to see Kuna Shipka of course
as well. So yeah, I was surprised by the amount of faces I
recognized, and definitely not all of them get a lot of time to really
shine. But I still really liked their chemistry on screen. Like that's something
that I really liked from the first movie was just like The Gang of Misfits.
It was like Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character and that is just it is just
fantastic. So I like that they kind of captured that camaraderie that those movies
or sorry, that first movie kind of had of just a rag tag crew
of storm chasers and and this is their life, this is what they do.
And I definitely think they capture that again here. And but yeah,
no, I I think over, Like I was saying already across the board,
it's just a better made movie and and a better movie, and I
was. I had a good time with it. I thought that the humor
was was pretty good and I definitely would recommend this one, especially if anyone
had like seen Twister and like has some nostalgia for it. There's there's some
scenes in here that like I was, like, like I already mentioned,
like it felt like they were tipping their hat to the original, and I
feel like I like those scenes a lot more because I like those original scenes
from Twister, So that nostalgia effect definitely was was present there. But yeah,
I definitely recommend this movie, and it was. It was a fun
theater experience too, expecting big theater theatrical moments because these tornadoes are massive and
of course what they're able to do back in the original Twister to what they
can do now, like I was expecting. Especially I saw it in like,
you know, our extreme theater, so like I wanted that big audio
and be feeling like I was in the tornado. This this would be a
good four D movie probably you know, coming out through the seat in front
of you, not the guy just passing gas but uh, you know,
true wind. So yeah, it was a it was a fun time and
I'm glad. I'm glad we we did the retro leading up to it is
h it was a windy adventure you and I had here. But yeah,
well said, anything else to add? Or do you want to hop skip
jump over into the spoiler section of this Let's let's hop in a skip jump
confused without Okay, Okay, we're gonna take our first ad break here and
then we'll be right back to unravel this twister. So we'll be right back,
all right, Taylor Field, Is there any particular direction you want to
take the I will kind of just highlight the reverse aspect I was talking about.
So I like how the first one you have our ragtag group of characters
and the theme is like, Okay, I'm here for this amount of time
and I'm not. I'm not in, like I'm out. And that's the
same thing here with our main girl. She's not in for the long haul.
She's just in for a quick little bit and then she's out. But
what I like is she starts off on the high tech team that's got all
the crazy investors, sponsorships and all that, and then she makes a jump
over to the rag Tag group, whereas in the original we see the rag
Tag group just trying to deal with the high Tech Team being kind of like
the antagonists, and the high Tech Team are the antagonists in this movie,
I would say, But I like how at least Hobby kind of joins over
to the good side, you could say, and that kind of like evolves
from that, So it didn't feel like there was really one set enemy in
here. It was super shady, though. You got this fucking guy who's
like using the tornado to bet that's the bad guy. Yeah, he's probably
like like starting up these tornadoes somehow. It's got the wind wafer in his
hand. Yeah, he's absolutely horrible. But I think though, just the
the vibe was done really really really well of the rag Tag group. It
wasn't even like a full on copycat from that first movie. And I really
like that. And I really did think that Daisy Edgar's character was going to
be uh. I can't remember what the surname was. Was it Harding in
the first one. I'll double check, but I think you're right. I
thought she was gonna be related because when we saw Dorothy, and when we
saw the way she was talking about her, mom thought, Okay, she's
gonna be like the kid of Bill Paxton. I can't remember the lady's name,
something like that, but that was not the k hearting. Okay,
so she is just her her own family, just a storm chaser, and
I think that's cool. They didn't need to do anything like lineage whise I
reckon, so keeping it just with the easter eggs like Dorothy and then the
ice I'll get you drink iced tea. That was the kind of like I
feel like a callback to the other one. And there was one more that
I know died. Oh what was it? I can't remember for the life
of me, but that's okay. Yeah, yeah, it's funny. Early
on in the film. Yeah, this is where they have like before the
time jump, you meet like her original crew and they're all happy and excited
again. It's like the same energy of the Rank Take carew that we had
in the first movie before it goes all wrong. They're driving in the vehicle
and then like she gets a call from her mom and they're all like oh
yeah, blah blah blah, hey Mom, And then she's like, oh,
dinner at my place after. It's funny because Shay like turns to me,
she's like, Oh, that's gonna come up, you know, like,
oh, like the mom's gonna get fucking murked by tornado. I'm like,
that's exact same thing that happened in the first movie. And this is
like five minutes in. I'm like, oh man, this is actually just
gonna be like a remake that didn't happen. So, you know, they
surprised us there a bit of a I don't know if you'd call that a
red herring, but a false flag maybe is a better term for it.
So yeah, I thought we were gonna really be treading the same path that
we especially that like they had this experiment. It was literally Dorothy there as
well, like they had the og one, which was fun. I'm glad
that made an appearance there, And yeah, it was I really really like
the overall motivation I guess for our characters here where in the first one.
I just kind of like, like, I like the ride, but it's
it's kind of funny to me of just how surface level, like maybe it's
a bad way saying it, just not how deep like the plot line is
it's just they just want to get Dorothy up and running so they can just
scan the tornado. Like that is all motivation for that movie. Of course,
along the way Bill Paxton and his ex wife get back together, but
like that, that is their their goal there. So now in this one,
they're upping it and she wants to actually be able to stop tornadoes,
which I think is a lot more of a heroic venture. I guess you
have to you know, crawl before you can walk, or walk before you
can run, whatever the saying is. So they needed Dorothy in order to
get to this point. So that's where it felt like a natural evolution maybe
in the movies like it, like it didn't just feel like the exact same
thing again. It's like, Okay, now we're actually going to stop the
tornadoes. And I did like that goal and I liked how it wasn't just
so basic of like Okay, she loses her friends, but now I'm gonna
work even harder, Like it actually really shook her up that whole event.
She's really like PTSD from that, and you can feel that even when she
goes back with Hobvey and she just can't do it, like she kind of
freezes and just gets out of there, fails the first mission. So I
like that that was kind of weighing on her and even her reluctance to kind
of pick up the project again because she does feel all that guilt. And
I liked how there was some moments where Hobvey was was like portraying that he's
been feeling that weight for us also for him, But I wish we treaded
more in that direction for him because it like, man, poor Hobvey too,
Like I just feel like he got major friend zoned from Kate this whole
time. He's like, there was a time when I would do anything for
you, and it like he's really just losing this to Glenn Powell like from
the get go, like she she does not care about Hobby at all,
you know, more more than a friend maybe, and he like at the
end of this, like he like loses his job. Like I don't really
know what his his future career goals are, but it seems like he was
very heavily invested with this what was it called storm storm something storm par Yeah,
so like it's felt like he was like the guy that was that was
that, But yeah, I don't know, I guess he's onto bigger and
better things, and you know he had the morality switch, especially when uh
David corn Sweats like I don't fucking care about the people or whatever he says,
just kicked him out, which was a funny scene because like when I
was driving home with Shay, I'm like, did he just like kill that
guy? Like, like did he just leave him in the path of this
giant torny like nobody you don't see him get picked up or anything. And
the guy again, I'm sure that he got picked up, but like in
theory, they should be surrounding it, so you would think that other vehicles
are like on the corners and then they're in front of it trying to stop
to like put it out. So I'm like, we never see that guy
again. I think he just fucking killed him. Like that's a a straight
up homicide, just leaving that guy on whatever man slaughter or whatever you would
call it. I feel like he is directly responsible for that man's dad.
He was gonna hob he was gonna pull over and turn around, but then
uh corn Sweat just did the whole Uh yeah, exactly. It's just like
season in with this fucking goggles on. That's funny. Yeah, that's my
head cannon. Then he just he just murdered it. But uh, I
don't even know where I was going with that. I said a lot there
anything you wanted to touch upon, I guess just the whole like plot of
actually stopping tornadoes, Like, it's just a lot more of a cell I
think for a moviegoer as opposed to I mean, but like I said,
like, I think you needed to get that first movie before you get to
this point. So yeah, yeah, and I agree. I think the
first movie did a great job at setting up the difficulty of trying to figure
out when a tornado's gonna form, how you're gonna get in front of it,
and how you're gonna deploy this tub full of these little drones into the
tornado to start recording data. That's gonna be very difficult and quote. So
they accomplish that with the technology of their time, and now we are here
we have much more advanced technology. So what's the step up from that mixing
chemicals into an oil drum and then shooting that up into a tornado, but
also launching fireworks and rockets into a tornado too, Just so it looks super
super cool. The concept of setting up three different I'm gonna just call them
solar panels. They're not solar panels. They are basically scanning Dada in the
tornado. But setting up three of these panels around a tornado that just blows
my mind. And so when they're trying to go through the motions and there's
two that are setting up and behind the tornado, and so Hoavy and Katie
was her name, right, Yeah, Kate Kate. So they have to
get in front of the tornado and plant it. That's just crazy to just
in sync just get all three of these panels set up. And so,
yeah, the first go around doesn't go well. And I'm glad that they
did this. I'm glad that they showed that she's suffering from just this post
traumatic stress from the intro to the movie, which we'll talk about that,
and I think that it's great that they addressed it because this is a very
important thing and I would have been kind of more let down if they just
threw her back into the fire here. And she just totally is fine because
what she went through is pretty freaking traumatic. What she went through is way
worse than your dad like I can't hold it and the door blows off.
This was much more to horrifying three times, right, she lost three friends.
Yeah, and one of them was holding like, don't word, I
got you, I got you, got you ripped out. I thought for
sure he was gonna survive because I like, I remember her Glenn Powell,
and then another guy on the on the poster, like I couldn't remember who
they were, so I just assumed it was gonna be that guy. But
no, he got slurped up by the store and that was pretty shocking.
Yeah, they, I guess I'll just transition over to that now. They
they all could have gotten there so much faster if they the girl didn't just
like they were in the car. They stopped the car and the girl's like,
oh, overpasses are not safe from the tornado, and they sat there.
Man, I would have been hoophing it to that that are overpassed,
And yeah, it's unfortunate. The one guy got struck by lightning. Not
in the movie, but he we learned earlier on he got struck by lightning
before and he's no fun. But he just got sucked up with like no
one knew, no one noticed he was just gone, which is pretty unfortunate,
and then the girl was next to go, which is pretty shitty.
That was shocking, Like I thought maybe just the one was gonna die,
especially that the next one to go was Keeran and Schipka, Like, I
don't know, a more known actor to me, at least compared to some
of the other ones that were on there. So I like I was shocked
there. And then it's like, holy fuck, we just lost two.
And then when you like catch your breath, buddy, you just fucking get
zipped up away and it's like, holy only everyone's just gone here, and
uh yeah, that is very very traumatic, especially that her goal was to
be able to stop this tornado, right, Like, that's what that's what
the best result of this experiment was going to be. And not only did
it fail, but three of your best friends just like died right there,
and who knows if they were in that like if if they would have been
in that position if they weren't here to help you with that experiment. So
like, I feel like all of that was great setup for the for our
character here to to have some weight on her shoulders. I feel like there
is some moments when like we have that, and then she mentions how it's
weighing on her, and then there's there's other times that it's just not really
felt like I don't know, I feel like I'm being really nitpicky with that,
But there was just moments that it was felt more than others. Super
minor great, but yeah, just something. I don't know. Maybe I
was expecting them to go a little bit deeper with but I think for what
we caught it was still it was still good enough. She gets a nasty
gash on her leg too, which is just a geeze. Man. Yeah,
that's like just a token of memorobilia. I guess there's so many moments
in this movie and the first movie where like maybe they get just outside the
tornado and then they like get other vehicles, they just like stand there and
I'm like, man, what if like a fucking penny is just in that
tornado and just whips around, goes like right through your head, Like there's
so much yeah, yeah, exactly, Like there's just so much debris that's
flipping around, and I don't know, I feel like I've never experienced tornado
thankfully, and I would just be I'd be running the other like I would
never be a storm chaser, that is that is a wild life for those
for those folks out there. But yeah, and then yeah, Hobby survives.
Then we have a five year jump, which five years that's like a
It's like a running theme these days. Whenever we haven't a time jump,
it's usually five years. Ever since the endgame. Yeah, so and then
yeah, she's living her life in New York. She gets a call from
well, no Hobby shows up to her office actually, and then Yeah,
proposes this this adventure for her. And I did like that they at least
mentioned like she was just there for a week at first before they said that,
I'm like, she's just like quit her job, She's just like back
in Oklahoma. I felt like a lot of the time that maybe I was
expecting it to be a bit of a shallow reason for a character be doing
something, or like a plot point. They at least answered in some way,
even if it wasn't super satisfying, they at least talked about it.
So that fact, and even after the whole adventure, like she was still
gonna be going back to New York. I like how it wasn't just it
wasn't just like Okay, I know that that's just totally thrown away now because
of just what's happening now in the movie. Although for Hobby like that,
I guess sucks for him, but you know, I guess he had the
wake up moment. He didn't want to work for that asshole, right,
that was just benefiting enough of people's just losing their homes because what was his
shtick even like he was just buying the land off? Yeah, she went
on his website and his website was like I buy land. Yeah he does.
But their plan was like, oh, he's the people that live in
these homes and the tornado comes in destroys their home. They got nothing,
So what does this guy do. He gives them hope because he'll give them
money for their land, which I don't know why this guy wants that fucking
land. What is he gonna build there? It's just gonna get destroyed,
So just oil platforms maybe, who knows you look like a bit of an
oil tycoon guy? Mm, yeah, you're stereotyping them. I don't know.
No, No, he did, he did, but we see not
even the oil rigs are safe too, right because the tornado hit it and
turn into like the super like super mega fat tornado. Yeah, it was
definitely stepping up there in that moment. Uh, okay, and then I
don't know whoa all right, there's a fucking fly at my office. It's
coming at me, and shit, god damn, it's a big bastard too.
Do you uh do you have one of those electric fly swatters? I
gotta get one. Usually I have different. Okay, so brief brief side
attentionent. My tactic is I stand by the blinds and I have the blinds
open, and I wait. Usually I'm there for about five minutes. Sometimes
I'm there for ten minutes and I just stand there and I wait. It's
the only light source that's in the house at this time because I close everything
else. Eventually it'll come. It'll hit the window and I fucking shut the
blinds and he's trapped there. Stage two, it's a sliding window. I
slide the window open and I corral him up to the screen and then I
slam it and then he's in there and he dies. That's the plan.
Sounds like a one hour venture. It takes a good minute. There's a
picture you like camouflage too. You're like shaving your face, like the guy
in Predator, Like you're just totally patient, just dry dry shaving shaving the
fly. Okay, nice is a fly hunter. Yeah. Uh, there
was a thing I was gonna mention here because we did we talked about we're
talking about the guy buying up with land, and that's kind of where the
shift happens because you see the dynamic of Glenn Powell's team. They sell the
shirts and the merch that they can actually buy food to support all the people
that are caught in this horrible scenario here, which is great. I like
that, which is like kind of like, yeah, I like, I
like the idea, but it also seemed like when the town gets fucked up
and they're supposed to be like saving people, like it did look like Buddy
was like taking cash for sure, like like they were handing out to you
like food and whatnot. But then over here like they're just selling the merch,
which I don't know why someone would be buying that if they just lost
everything. But uh, nonetheless, you know, I mean she deduced that,
So it's definitely shady, shady tactics. Yeah, but I did like
the rag Day career, like how they had their own little expertise, I
guess, like the drone Flyer and like just all that stuff with even like
the whole idea of the Tornado Wrangler and like just the YouTube channel. It
just felt like a very modernized version of that. And like at first,
I was just like, what is his deal, Like, like like what
is he trying to accomplish with these tornadoes? And like why is he put
like they're really like mad Max Fury eroding it to these tornadoes, And it's
like shouldn't you kind of be not necessarily working together, but just not getting
into each other's way. Especially at this point, you think that stormfront is
are good guys and they're like getting this like they're scientist, they're getting this
data, So like why are they just fucking with them? If all they
want to do is drive into it and just shoot off colorful flares for hits.
I guess I guess that's their what their business plan is. And then
you know, shortly after that, it's revealed that Glenn pal is a meteorologist
and there is more under the surface, So I feel like his switch up.
I liked it because I liked his chemistry between Glenn palland and Daisy Edgar
Jones, Like, I really liked all their moments together, but it also
kind of felt like maybe that might have been like the weakest part of like
their actual maybe of his character that it was just, yeah, this is
what's happening. And then at some point he just like snaps at her for
like how can you work for that guy? And you know, like,
I guess it gets revealed, sure, you know, a couple of minutes
after that in the movie of or No Is it actually a little bit later
when he reveals what Stormfront actually is doing, because like the first time that
he just snaps at her for work with Storefront, it just seemed really odd
and it's like, why do you even care, Like like you're not invest
this at all. I guess he might be crushing for her at that point
in time, but also it's not like he's a noble like a noble guy
up until like the point that it's revealed that they're helping people, but like
that's not even their main goal, right, Like it's just a thrill see
get the millions of hits on YouTube. So I feel like that might have
been a little bit of a weaker point of the movie for me of not
necessarily what was going on, but just the explanation of it. But it's
pretty minor, like I think because because of the actors and just their chemistry
together, I was able to kind of look past that. And it got
to a point that he was just like fully with her and like his whole
team is just like gone, and it's just it's just like a two person
story at that point. And then he calls them back for the big tornado.
But it's like, what was his buddy's doing in that time? Like
it seems like this is their job to be like content creators, And I
don't know, I don't know. Again, I'm probably just overthinking it,
but I'm trying to search for for some of the minor gripes of it,
because for the most part, I I think I'm pretty damn positive across the
board. Yeah, I mean, I like their chemistry, I like their
relationship. It fell out of place at times when he did turn on her,
like you mentioned like, oh, you don't even know you're working for
chasing tornadoes for them? I think that was definitely a little bit out of
the blue. And then the other thing too was the fact that he just
showed up at her mom's house like that's a little that was very weird.
Yeah, and the moment didn't really like react at all. It's just like,
oh, you're staying for dinner, like like they didn't really interest you,
to say, my guest, which I did love. I did love
the moment when they're leaving and he gives her the T shirt and got his
face on it, like not my first rodeo, and she's just like really,
wow, Okay, that was just great reactions I think from the actor's
there. Yeah, speaking of his crew, the I guess the Tornado Wranglers
will call it. It was funny after their first like encounter with each other,
they all just I guess everyone's just staying at this motel after the fact.
And man, this interaction like after she says good night to a hobby
because she's just completely friend zoning this guy. She doesn't want anything to do
with them, She's going to bed alone, and then she's just like immediately
chatting up this hot Glenn Powell, you know, working on his vehicle and
just all over him and edit crew instantly. Taylor, I'm just like,
man, this is just like the Mummy, Like they're all racing to get
to like the what is it the City of the Dead, the City of
the Dead, and then they all like camp out together and then like he's
interacting with the other Americans here and it's like I was just laughing at myself.
I like, man, this is this is hilarious. I'm waiting for
a Benny type character to just start chirping her or something. But no,
I did like the idea of it not just being Glenn Powell's team and then
Stormfront like there was just like like people that wanted to just see it right,
Like there was just civilians that they did show that they were kind of
getting the way as well and just getting themselves in danger. Like I think
it's the first storm you just see people like jumping out of their van and
like getting close to like take videos. It's funny. Yeah, they show
they got with like the big iPad, Like it's just people would do that,
and I'm sure people do do that because they're just it's like when you
see videos of people at Banff at National Park and they're just like getting close
to a bear and like taking a video and you're just like, holy fuck
man. These people they just they don't realize reality and and and that this
is dangerous. But yeah, I liked how that was shown and just yeah,
just kind of like the little mini factions of these storm chasers. Yeah,
I agree. I think that the factions was cool, and they kind
of taper off a little bit when we get just Powell's group and hobbies group.
Yeah the end. But yeah, I think it's it's a fun aspect
of fun dynamic and it was just it was exciting how many tornadoes we actually
got actually in here. When you think about the first one, we got
the one at the very beginning, then we got the one where they trapped
their truck under the bridge, and then we get the theater seen great callback
though, like driving theater and then movie theater here, and then uh,
what's the theater. They'll know there's one more after the theater scene in the
original, and then that's it this one. I mean, it was like
at the beginning of the movie. Then there was like the twins, there's
another one before the twins. Then there was one after the twins, I'm
pretty sure, then like the big one. Yeah, there was the one
at the movie theater again or sorry, the stampede. They were just they
filled it with tornadoes. And I think in this movie, the stampede was
definitely my favorite. That might be a Golden Geeks for me, like the
nomination, because like it was, it was scary, like it was,
it was amping up higher and higher and higher. And again you don't have
to worry about like CGI being good or not because their flashes of lightning and
just see this dark plume that's just like vortex swirling in the distance. And
you got the guy who's being an asshole, like, oh, he's trying
to get it, like the a C has broken his room and I won't
have to give you a bad review. That's one star reviews are yeah,
And then you get the poor counter guy. Man, Oh, I like
to hear Jesus Christ Powell was trying so hard to save him, like don't
stay down, stay lost to no, He's like, what is it?
What does he do? He's like, I got it. He like he
practically sends the fuck up on his fucking two legs and just laughing so hard
at that moment because he's just like around the corner. He's like, don't
let it get me, don't Then it just like rips him away to the
fucking heavens and it's just like, man, what a bad way to go.
Guys, we're working at this hotel for like a day. He's dealing
with this shitty customer and then he just gets fucking yank by the tornado.
Yeah that was a funny, man, And like I was just thinking,
of course the First Twister when the when the dad gets ripped out. Yeah,
yeah, just good. I was gonna say, good comedy. It's
definitely not meant to be that, but no, that's how I took it
at least. And yeah, no, I love that sequence so much.
It's because my favorite scene I think from the First Twister is the drive in
theater scene because of the darkness and how it just sneaks up on them,
and that was pretty much what happened here. And it's just so much more
chaotic because there's so many more moving pieces of not only are they at the
rodeo and this is another thing I laughed too, because they're all getting the
text message like the alerts, and then the guy gets on the mic and
he's just like another reference here. I was just thinking of Denis Or from
Return of the King when he's like flee everybody flee, run for your life,
and it's like it's not like okay, everybody remain calm, like like
get out there in orderly fashion. People are jumping in their vehicles and fucking
like ramming into each other. People are probably getting hit on the road.
Like it's just so chaotic. And then you have this guy and the mic
just like we're all gonna die run like it's just it's just got lifted up
to like an eleven and ten on the uh on the intensity scale there.
So I was I was laughing in those moments, but no, I think
it was really intense too. How it ended of them in the pool there,
and and she's like going through the exact same moment that happened in the
beginning of the film, right like reliving probably the worst day of her life.
And then she has I loved it too because you have like the mom
and the daughter next to her, and then the mom is saying like,
don't worry, I got you. And then when she said that, I'm
pretty sure maybe I'm just imagining this, but I'm pretty sure they actually had
like the boyfriend from the beginning of the film, like it sounded like him
that was saying it because you hear the mom say it and then it sounds
like a male voice, and I didn't think it was Glenn Palell. So
if that is the case, that's a really great detail, especially that it
kind of gets quieter and dark and you're just kind of focusing on Kate in
that moment. That's how I read into it. So I like it that
way, even if that's not the case, I'm just gonna I guess he'd
ken in that sense, and I didn't think Glenn pa was gonna get yanked
there, but definitely I liked how afterwards she was kind of like making sure
he was there, like grabbed his arm because you know, like the last
time that happened, he wasn't there. Her old bow got ripped out.
Well, I like too. Again he's a damn good actor. He just
looks so shaken up and spooked to what happened. Like to me, it's
this is just something he's never had to go through that before. He's gone
and in a controlled setting, and in this setting, I mean, you
got no control. You gotta just hold on and hope that you're gonna pull
through. But I can see there being some credit to your theory of the
old boyfriend having like kind of like a voiceover in this moment. Pardon me,
I had to suppress the Uh you handled that well? Yeah, thank
you. I think that there is merit and credit to what your your theory
is because we get that not a flashback. We get that moment where she's
sleeping. It just happened so quickly, like I don't horror movie because the
boyfriend rolls over. I got you, she freaks out. Remind me an
Hereditary like like like not not a very like specific one to one scene,
but I feel like just the color of the room In Hereditary, there's a
couple of moments when like our character wakes up or like is in his room
and it's like a dream, but like something fucks up, fucked up happens,
like if you know, when the mom like lights herself on fire or
something. So yeah, maybe I was just maybe I just love Hereditary and
I'm just thinking about that movie too much. But yeah, that was that
was like almost a jump scare moment for sure. Almost was Yeah, Okay,
let's let's take another ad break and then we'll be back to keep going.
All right, what else do we have here? So we have my
gosh, what were we were just talking about the scene, the rodeo scene.
Yeah, yeah, the theater was the big moment at the end,
and I I kind of found it weird that they didn't like off the movie,
like they just had Frankenstein running this whole time and like didn't really I
don't know, I guess it's chaotic. You don't really have time to like
turn on the lights or anything. You're just running for your life. But
pretty of a pretty scary place to like potentially just die in, Like you
just got this Frankenstein movie going as the walls are like and just shaking all
around you. And that tornado man, like fuck, that was a monster
of a tornado, that last one. They definitely had a big crescendo ready
to go. Like I guess just the biggest ones are e E fives or
e F fives whatever they were calling it, But like that felt like an
E F ten, Like like it felt ginormous and uh, just the destruction
that it felt or sorry that was felt, especially seen out of the big
screen. That was that was something that like I was kind of expecting that
sort of Like I guess thrill is a word you could use of just like
the audio and then the the visual of the big screen. So I was
looking forward to that here. And I mean, as you already laid out,
we do see a lot of different tornadoes in this movie, and I
thought they all felt very It was just very epic. So yeah, I'm
happy that that delivered in the way that I was expecting. Yeah, yeah,
I think I was curious why they would send people to movie theater,
and the only reason I could think it was the seats are bolted to the
to the ground like concrete. I think it was because it has no windows.
That's what they're like. They wanted something that as a basement, and
they were looking for a basement, so I guess they kind of assumed there
was one in there, but it was a rude awakening and then they just
kind of yeah, like a couple of people just fucking flew right out of
that place too, especially when like the theater screen disappears. We almost lost
Lily I think was her name, the drone pilot, but Ben Powell,
like a monkey man, just like wraps his ankle around the bar and it's
like holding on to her. But no, he ended up saving her in
the end, which was good, but man, a lot of people just
got marked in this movie, like, like I think, way more than
what the first movie happened, absolutely, especially like when it was just going
through like the towns and stuff, and man, a lot of devastation in
here, and just like, like I know, tornadoes happen, especially in
those areas like this is Oklahoma, right that we're in in this movie,
and gosh, stay safe, you know, listeners, if you're out there.
I know April of Darkness mentioned that she was she was on training to
watch I think during one of our last afternoon and so yeah, no,
it's it's a scary thing, especially just seeing like seeing a movie like this
when I never have experienced for totraatoes, just like seeing the after effect of
the trail too, of the tornado going through and just like literally like an
eraser on a page just taking out like an entire city. It's just it's
really devastating. And yeah, I liked how that was kind of showcased here,
like more so than just it's cool to be wrangling tornadoes, but it
showed like the reality of the devastation of what the cities have. And I
like that moment when it hits like the one town and then you just see
like the one person like packing up like some of their objects, but their
houses like completely fucked. You have the cops that are like, we're invoking
a curfew. It's like, where the fuck are these people gonna go?
Like stay in your homes that you don't have a roof or walls or anything,
no running water, like what does it even mean? But no,
definitely scary stuff, and uh yeah that I think that was the first time
Kate was kind of forcing Hobby to like he wanted to get the device and
then it's like, let's go, let's go help these people, and then
he ended up doing it. And I feel like across the board like he
he definitely made the right decisions when it when it mattered like like there,
It's not like he put his foot down, like he definitely went there.
It seemed like he was always genuinely trying to help people. So I feel
like maybe we could have done a little bit more with him, But also
I guess that takes away between like Glenn Powell and Kate, So I'm glad
that we didn't do that because they were they were fantastic together and I really
really liked their chemistry and they didn't even like share a kiss or anything right
in this movie, Like no, And I mean that I would have been
nice, but I'm not. I'm not hurt that they didn't put it in
there anyways, because there was definitely some romantic tension and I like how it
ended too, Like I really like the ending. Yeah, if you feel
it, chase it. I like when she had stronger baby Yeah. Get
in the airport yea. That whole scene made me laugh too, because he's
got a movie's track and like she's looking at his window at her at Kate
and then is the ticket guy like leans in, Like but the actor man,
that was great, but he drew. It's so funny too because I
feel like that is like I'm not an anxious person any means, but like
if I have to drop off people or pick up people at the airport,
that is like when anxiety hits me because there's always like a security guard or
a cop there just like waiting for and they're watching like they're like k ten
seconds max, and you're fucking so like that that was a funny moment when
he was like trying to get out of their trunk out there and then he
just fucking drills into the ground there. And I must say, like,
man, I loved his his rig that he had like all the mods on
it with the yeah, like the the anchoring. He says, it drills
down two feet. I feel like that really is not deep enough, especially
on like certain soul soil, like if it's moist, Yeah, like you're
just gonna like rip right out. Like I feel like it really has to
go deep. But I'm able to kind of look past that. I do
like the idea of what it is. And like he says he got he's
got a heavier chassis. They got bars all around with the harnesses and whatnot.
And uh, I mean, of course he's got he's got like out
outside speakers on it. He's just blasting tunes when he's rip around wrangling tornados.
He's got the rocket guns. So yeah, I liked those gadgets that
he had in his vehicle there, and yeah, it definitely seemed like a
pro Yeah, I thought, honestly, like I like how he drilled at
the airport. I thought he was gonna fire his rockets off, and I
was like, man, this guy's gonna be arrested for like terrorism, you
can't do that his terraport, But that was a cool rig. And I
like their trailer shopping and just everything. Like I think it was a pretty
pretty cool setup. Now, Hobby's truck. I'm just gonna say that thing
I didn't. I wonder what like model or make or brand that is,
because that thing was crazy. First of all, it survived the stampede destruction,
which was nuts, and then Kate just hops in it and continues on.
And then it survives the oil refiner exploding, flipping it upside down,
flipping it back upright and looked like a war hoog. That thing flipped like
a wardhog, you know when you like just you just flip it as master
chief. That's how easily it just popped right up. Yeah, that thing
is mortal. It is. So it's a good good marketing pitch for for
that kind of vehicle. Yeah, there you go, go buy a go
buy a Dodge Ram. I think that's what it was. What else do
we get? We get the the mom character, which is funny because I
recognize this actress right away, Mora Tyrny. I hope that's how you used
to pronounce her name. I couldn't really remember what from, but she was
in Liar Liar back in the day was a carry one, yeah, yeah,
and she was also she was also in Semi Pro. She's kind of
like the love interest to Woody Harelse's character, so like I remember her and
like Semi pros two thousand and eight, Liar Liar's ninety seven, so like
I remember seeing her in that era, So it was kind of funny to
have her here. She's definitely not a big role in this at all,
and but I don't know. I did find it we that Glenn Powell was
there, but I still liked the scene of them all kind of eating dinner
together and just just sharing that chemistry. It definitely felt natural, and that's
just where the actors were able to shine. I did laugh, however,
when Kate was saying goodbye and the mom's like, is this it? Am
I going to see you again? And she's like, you know, I'm
gonna come back. It's like, does she like, you've been gone for
five years, you never fucking call her and we don't even see her see
her again, So like, for all we know, she didn't do that.
She just went straight to the airport. He's ready to go back to
New York. And yeah, so I just I found that a little bit
funny. But uh yeah, uh you mentioned New York. He reminded me
of something I wanted to throw out now at the beginning, when she's working
as her meteorologist job and whatnot, and the woman's giving the tour of the
office, the kids going like, oh, here's an E one to E
five and YadA, YadA, YadA, and the kid is like, could
we ever get tornadoes here? And the woman's like, oh, no,
tornadoes in New York are very rare, but here is won we got a
long time ago. And I was thinking, oh, man, they just
foreshadow we're gonna get E five just fuck up New York and I'm gonna be
ready for it. But no, we did not get that. It was
all in Oklahoma, all of New York just devastated by any ten Holy shit.
I will say too, I loved the one line that that little girl
had when it's just like a reaction when she's like, we got tornadoes from
New York, like just I don't know what. Like the one line that
little girl said, she just she just killed it. It definitely made me
me chuckle. She was just I don't know to describe it. If you
saw it, you know what I'm talking about. What else do we got
going on? I don't really have much in my notes for this one.
Like the plot is more complicated in the first movie, but like at the
end of the day, it is just an experiment that they're trying to trying
to just complete. They do end up figuring out that it maybe it's their
model, like they're test model. That was the issue. They figured it
out. I don't And there's moments when they get going on like how a
tornado works, All of that stuff goes completely over my head. I feel
like they even talked about that in the first Twister, and like my smooth
brain is just with the lack of ripples, is just not able to really
process all all of the big words that they're they're talking about there. But
it sounded cool, and I they also mentioned that, like they still don't
know how tornadoes are formed, which is interesting because in the first Twister retro
I was like, yeah, in ninety seven, like that's probably makes sense
that they need this like the door theat in order to track it. But
I imagine, you know, in twenty twenty four, we got the technology
to do that. Maybe we do, maybe we don't. But the people
in this movie were saying that we don't. We we know it's some science.
And then I think he said it's boroline, religion or something. There's
some factors. There's some like I guess a catalyst element that actually starts the
tornado that they don't fully understand. And if that is the case, that's,
uh, get on, as scientists, come on, let's let's start
stopping tornadoes. Let's save some people, save some people's lives. I'm sure
it's very complicated and I don't and we'll never understand it. But yeah,
no, I think the science aspect of it it was. Although I didn't
understand all the big terms that were mentioning, I think that the breakdown maybe
of what they were trying to accomplish it was it was palatable at least to
me. You know, it's like, Okay, this makes sense the way
that they're saying it. I'm just gonna trust them on the science. And
that's that. I loved her little middle school science fair project thing though.
That was like very very good project, like it like deservedly so to win.
I'm trying to think of. I think I did like a a fucking
paper towel experiment in middle school. That was my science fair, just testing
bounty versus fucking whatever the other ones are called. You did there, you
go, Yeah, we're not. We're not recreating tornadoes like now she is.
But I think she's like a PhD candidate, So that's so that makes
sense there. She doesn't have a podcast though, so no, she doesn't
step up your game there, Catherine or Kate, whatever your name is.
I don't think I have anything else. I think that's covered all my notes.
Yeah, I don't think I do either. I think the last thing
I'll mention is it's funny as of late, and I should start by saying
I have never really been a country music fan, like at all, but
I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm just getting closer to thirty now
and it's just things are going on that that's changing in my life. I've
been listening to a lot more country, just like on my own and like
the music in this movie, it is mostly country, and I was fucking
eating it up. I loved all the music in this movie. It it
felt the overall vibe of what it was as well. But I'm definitely gonna
be checking out the soundtrack for this one because there's a lot of tracks I
didn't know about, probably because the genre it's it's new to me. I'm
definitely not a full country bumpkin or whatnot. There's certain country that I still
don't like, but there's some country that I definitely have grown to like.
And yeah, no, I I like the tuneage in this movie. It
was it was good, good stuff. Since I got into the Yellowstone like
country, just fucking slaps, I love it. I love the cowboy life.
Oh man, I'm oh yeah. You shopping at Lamel's down on the
West Side. That's like the Western tax store where you can get some fucking
nice cowboy hat. You're going to get my spurs and my chest. Oh
yeah. The ship kickers at the Corral every Friday night. There's one song
that they played which I had not heard this since How to Be The original
ghost Rider with Nick Cage was it's Riders in the Sky Ghost Riders in the
Sky. I guess you could also that's when it was Glenn Powell like driving
in towards the Storm and I was playing Riders in the Sky and Oh,
this is just badass. I'm really really liking this. But you're right,
a lot a lot of the tracks, definitely they slap pretty good hundred percent.
I guess I'll add one more thing in here. I didn't shout him
out really throughout the review, but Glenn Powell is just He's fantastic. I
truly love that guy. Going into the movie, I knew he was going
to be a rock solid performance, and he absolutely was. He's very charismatic,
he's very charming, very much looking like a cowboy, and naturally is
I'm sure because I know he's from Texas, so it felt authentic his performance
there. And like when he first shows up and they got like the music
playing and he like steps out, he's like signing autographs and everything, and
like, up until this point, I felt like I was still expecting like
a very very basic movie. It's just like, Okay, this guy's a
cowboy or a tornado wrangler, whatever the fuck that means, and he's just
he's just the hot stuff. But the YouTube channel and he shows up you
like tipping his hat to to storm Front boys, and this is like,
up until this point, this is pretty much like the same movie of what
the first one is, right, like, we have the we have the
flashback of someone dying that's close to the character. And then and then when
we're actually going for the chase, you meet the the basically a tornado wrangler.
I don't know what, Oh my gosh, I forget the actor's name,
but basically Glenn powellin this and in the first movie. He's definitely a
completely different character, but the way that they're introduced is very similar. Christian
Elvis or something like that. Carry else there you go, thank you.
Yeah, so similar introduction there, and it just kind of made me chuckle.
And of course he has the rag Tag crew with him that are very
loud and boisterous, but no, they're great and yeah, if nothing else,
Taylor Field, what's uh, what do you think you're going to give
this movie? I am going to give this a straight maybe a nine out
of ten. I'm not gonna give it the perfect score. But I really
really liked this movie. I really really did. It was a good time.
I think it's it's got great nods and callbacks to the original, but
like we've already discussed, it's great at just kind of being standing out on
its own. Two feet, which I can really appreciate. So I hope
many people go and see this movie. I think that all the cast members
did very very well. I really liked it, and I liked the story
that they were telling in here, and I like how it was a change
up from the first one. And yeah, I think that there's just a
lot of positives. If I had to label a con, I mean,
like, it's not a perfect movie, That's what I can say about it.
But the con would probably be just certain things with the relationship between Glenn
Powell and not not necessarily the relationship with him and Kate. But I guess
like while he's just showing up with the parents' house, like that's kind of
weird, just a couple of like weird little things the way this and like
you mentioned too, how he turns on her like, oh, you don't
even know who you're chasing tornadoes for and all that kinds of just some weird
motivations, but they're very, very minor. This is a really good movie,
and I think majority of people are really really going to enjoy it.
It's gonna get shafted unfortunately when we'll were in Deadpool releases next week. But
yeah, everybody, go see it now, Go see it now for sure.
So I hope it has a good box office run because this movie,
this movie is fantastic. Yeah, I'm with I have little hopes for the
box office. My theater was more packed than I was expecting at least,
and I forgot to mention it earlier. But Taylor Field, I had my
first ever like smelly theater experience, and I was like, getting, what
was it lego movie or what one was it? The kid was fart and
then yeah, this is what is this movie? Like PG threeteen rated?
They say a couple swear words, some blood on it, so probably in
that vein, and there was you know, like I was sitting kind of
off center in my usual row, and then a couple of seats over was
I think a mom and like a younger child. I'm not gonna like probably
probably definitely sub ten, I don't know exactly, but fairly young and like
it's not like this is an R rated movie or something like, I think
you can bring a child like that to it. But it got a little
bit like she had to like basically explain a lot of stuff that was going
on, and like, I'm usually very patient when it comes to like little
kids in theater. But like she was just like explaining like yeah, that's
his friend and blah blah blah, and like like just saying it at like
bad times too, like it would be when the movie is like quiet and
you can just hear exactly what they're saying. No, And then yeah,
I started smelling some farts next to me, and I'm like, oh my
god, this is this is just totally bringing down some of the experience year.
But I wanted to share that because I know you have a legendary smelly
theater experience yourself. You know what I think you've had, You've had a
string of actual like theater experience. What was a Jigsaw Buddy on his phone
the whole time? Oh yeah, just sitting next to me. He's just
texting. His phone was on full brightness and he's like just like making noises
and ship and yeah, just it's I don't necessarily blame the kids. I
blame the parents, h because like for the Lego movie, my shirt was
up over my whole face and I looked to make eye contact with the mom
and the mom was totally ignoring me, like yes, you gotta you gotta
own up to you to this ship as a parent. They're just so used
to it their their nose is just like auterized from smell. Yeah uh,
but yeah, I know. Getting back to my overall thoughts, I think
this was I think this was a fantastic time. I had a fantastic time
it's been. I think it's a really, really great time. I'm excited
to rewatch it when it comes on streaming because I think there's some fun moments.
But really the stand like the big stand out to me is Daisy Edgar
Jones, like the lead there, just because I hadn't seen her anything before
and she very much is the lead of this movie, and I thought her
acting was fantastic and Glen Powell was a fantastic counterpart to the story with her,
And yeah, like the characters is kind of what surprised me, maybe
how much I got kind of invested in their their motivation and goal and just
for them to conquer that, especially seeing what she went through in the early
portions of the movie, and then the fact that it was able to surpass
my expectations on the actual plot of her wanting to shut down these tornadoes as
supposed to just measure them. So yeah, I liked I liked the journey.
I liked what the motivation was, but I also liked the journey.
I liked the right along the way. The action was fun, and there
was some definite tense moments. I feel like the movie might have like it
definitely could have been a little bit shorter, because it seemed, especially with
like maybe some things between Hobby and Kate, it seems like we went half
in that direction, and if we're not going to go the full way,
I almost just wish we didn't really do that. But you do need to
have, I guess him have that tie with her because he was one of
the original friends. So I don't know how you would clean that up really
like easily without adding a lot more run time with it. So I think
for what it is, it's definitely fine. And then so yeah, I
think I'm gonna give this one an eight point five out of ten, not
quite a nine. I feel like just because when those moments happened, where
like whether it was Glenn Powell like snapping on her really quickly or maybe like
a like a lucky type thing, or like, oh, of course,
of course, she just still has a bunch of these barrels with like this
this this chemical to shut down these tornadoes in her mom's cabin. Like of
course, that's just still there for the experiment. Like I'm I'm pretty okay
to look past that stuff, but I feel like when they just like compiled
and maybe maybe those moments also just kind of happened at a similar part of
the movie, Like I felt at the beginning of the third act, that's
where it was starting for me at least, to be like, I feel
like head scratching is is a bit extreme because it's like, yeah, at
no point was I like what the fuck are they doing? But it was
just like, oh, this is weird. Like I felt like they had
me very smooth, and then they kind of got jaggedy, like we had
a couple of potholes, but then we were covered afterwards. So if we
didn't have those moments, I could definitely see this being like a near near
ten experience, honestly, like like like I had a fantastic time with it.
But yeah, eight point five I think is entirely appropriate. And man,
Daisy Edgar Jones, I'm very excited to see what happens with her next
And I don't know, maybe a little bit of a spoiler for certain draft
pick. Maybe she might be appearing on the next one. I don't know.
She's she's fantastic and uh yeah, I'm excited to see what happens next
with her career. Is the way she would say, you know, we'll
be following you quite closely. Think that's the third time I've said that this
week. Flies. Yeah, exactly, this guy's gonna be staring at her,
uh cave, tornadoes outside. That's why he's in there. He's in
a safe spot. He's in the cave spot in his bunker. All right,
ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for going on this twist and
ride with us. Taylor Field, thank you for joining me. And until
next time, it'll be it'll be windy. Bye bye,
