00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to an episode Geek First.

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,560
Don't know which episode number. This is split into two

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,400
parts because this is the non spoilers review for Project Hill. Mary,

4
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:19,879
I am just the clown prints of podcasts today, tres Now,

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,800

7
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and as I just mentioned, this is the non

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,440
sports we got to see an early screening. So we'll

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,120
give you just our overall thoughts, maybe a few little

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,439
trinkets here and there, but nothing if you've not read

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,000
the book that would spoil any plot points, ending, spoilers, twists,

12
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,679
whatever that may be. And then on the Friday, myself

13
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:41,479
and Taylor will drop the spoilers episode where we do

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,560
lots of good stuff dropping this week. But I'm gonna

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120
throw it to the man himself because this guy. I

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,359
don't know when this movie was announced or a trailer,

30
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:24,000
but I just feel like I've been hearing from Taylor

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,799
about Project hil Mary for years now. You know he

32
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,120
read the book. He's walking up to random people in

33
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:32,120
the theater night. You read the book. You read the book,

34
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:34,519
just you know, give them an alleyway, just trying to

35
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:35,879
beat them and if they've read the book or not.

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,120
But Titfield, you have read the book. You've been very

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,439
excited for this movie. So, as I said, non spoilers,

38
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:42,920
did this deliver for you?

39
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:51,799
Speaker 2: I'd say did? Uh? Yeah? Was it a perfect ten? No?

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,239
But wow?

41
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,879
Speaker 3: The only hang up I have on that regard is yes,

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280
it was two and a half hours. But to phase,

43
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,799
I mean, squeeze like this whole thing in there. You're

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280
gonna rush a few points and it's not that thick

45
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,360
of a book, like, it's a pretty decently quick read.

46
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,039
But I think there are some things that were tricky

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,599
to pull off. But they did a very good job

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,199
with it. Visually, it's a fantastic movie. I have no

49
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:25,800
cons at all about the set pieces and the CGI

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,879
and everything that they threw in there. It was wonderful.

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,159
But definitely there were some moments at the start where

52
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:35,520
it was quick cut, rapid fire, but they throw comedy

53
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,159
in there, and I think the comedy helps alleviate some

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,719
of that where you maybe if you're the ga, you

55
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,439
don't really pick up on how fast it's going.

56
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,199
Speaker 2: And I think that that's a good thing.

57
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: Because, like I said, yes, you've got a lot of

58
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,280
parts that are really glazed over really really quickly, and

59
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,639
so you get the introduction to the characters, then you

60
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,759
get okay, here's a problem, and then it kind of

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,520
expedites and kind of goes.

62
00:02:58,479 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: Quicker and quicker and quicker.

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: But then in the middle of the movie you get

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,680
a nice few periods of this kind of like slower

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,599
paced moments with our characters that really help unravel I

66
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,919
don't want to say the narrative, but kind of show

67
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
a lot of development and emotion, and I think that's

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,599
one of my favorite things with this is Ryan Gosling

69
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,039
really owns this role and you can really feel those

70
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,000
comedic beats you laugh at. There's nothing that feels like

71
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:28,960
it was forced humoring here. There's obviously humor that they

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,680
threw in here that was in the book. Just I

73
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,400
feel like it's just Ryan Gosling just being so charismatic

74
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,919
and great as a character in here playing Ryland Grace,

75
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,199
and so I think he just does a fantastic job

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,240
and yeah, stacked with all the emotional stuff that they

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,120
put in here too. He's great. He's really really great.

78
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:53,560
I was absolutely tearing up at probably just one one

79
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,240
moment in particular that had tears coming down my eyes

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,639
because it was all Ryan Gosling just just selling it

81
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,680
all in the face and just the the expressions and

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,479
the emotions. So I'll highlight that whenever we do there

83
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,800
spoilers review portion. But yeah, no, I think it was

84
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,879
it was really really good, well rounded off. And there

85
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360
is an extra bit too that they threw in here

86
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,600
that was not in the book that was actually really

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,240
cool to see. It kind of it's a part of

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,319
the book, Like, if you've read the book, you'll know

89
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:30,879
it obviously, but it's just something after completing the book,

90
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:33,759
you're left to wonder, Okay, what does this look like?

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,759
Speaker 2: What is this.

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: Kind of scenario here? And so in the movie it's

93
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,639
just like, oh, yeah, here's just here's a scene that

94
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720
you don't get in the book. It's like, oh, this

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,040
is kind of cool. That kind of sheds a little

96
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,000
light on the situation, which I actually really really appreciated

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,199
and I liked. And when we got to the very ending,

98
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,759
I was thinking, Okay, how how far are they going

99
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,680
to go with this? I thought for a second they

100
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,199
weren't going to show a couple things, but they they did.

101
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,279
They showed it, and it got really exciting for me.

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,519
And I think that's one of my favorite things about this

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,800
was when you read the book, you paint the narrative

104
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,600
into your mind and you generate how it looks and everything.

105
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,360
And so I had all of this kind of stuff

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,079
painted in my head as to how I see it

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,560
and whatnot. And so a lot of people can get

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,720
defensive about that because when they watch the movie, they

109
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:23,000
have their own interpretation, and then when they see how

110
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:27,560
the movie is interpreted. They get very i'd say retaliatory

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,720
about it, and you know, like the Median Territorial about like,

112
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:32,959
oh no, this is how it is. But it's all

113
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,800
up to interpretation because everyone reads it and everyone takes

114
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,399
it differently and sees a different setting in their minds.

115
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,879
And when I saw this, yes, it was very different.

116
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,480
Not a spoiler when I read the book. I read

117
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:48,800
the book, it was the ship being very white and

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,439
clean and everything on the inside, and even though it

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,319
details like yeah, it gets messy and stuff like that.

120
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,519
Watching in the movie and you can see this in

121
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,879
the trailer. It's very dark and it's very it's very

122
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:04,319
human tech like space shippy. You know, it's very fitting.

123
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360
But I didn't have any moment in this movie where

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,879
I thought, oh this this wasn't like the book, you know,

125
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,199
it's pissing me off or I'm getting upset because it's

126
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:16,519
not like the book or anything. It was definitely easy

127
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,839
to take in and embrace and just run with this

128
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:23,879
as as it is. And I mean, yeah, like you said,

129
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,639
I've been pitching Project tail Mary for the past little

130
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,600
bit because my coworker just he mentioned it. He's like, oh,

131
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,480
you like the Martian because it was the same author,

132
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,720
and I haven't read the Martian, but I remember watching

133
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,279
the movie and I loved watching that movie. And I'll

134
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,160
have to see if I get around to uh, his

135
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,360
other book, Artemis. I think it was called but yeah,

136
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:47,360
this is I.

137
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Thought I read someone was adapting Artemis recently. I can't remember.

138
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,319
Speaker 2: Really, I'll have to see.

139
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: I don't know if a lot of people were super

140
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,199
hot on that one, but again, it's all up to interpretation.

141
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: But you know, I read, I read the book and I.

142
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:05,199
Speaker 3: Couldn't put it down. It was just absolutely wonderful. I

143
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,319
fell in love with it. And so I went and

144
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,879
I returned that copy back to its owner because I

145
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:12,439
was borrowing it, And so I went and bought my

146
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,800
copy the other day because I'm going to reread it

147
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,959
because it's just such a it's such a delight.

148
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, when I found out the movie was coming out,

149
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,079
I was over.

150
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,959
Speaker 3: The moon, ecstatic because just the idea that what we're

151
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,920
getting is going to be painted and live action just

152
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,480
got me so giddy and so excited.

153
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: And it's just one of those.

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,759
Speaker 3: Stories where Okay, you have this problem and you have

155
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,920
things happening, and again in such a short book, you

156
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:35,879
get to the point where, oh my god, they're just

157
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,639
throwing this curveball on you. That curveball, I mean, you

158
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:41,560
see it in the trailers. If you haven't seen the trailers,

159
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,079
think good. I'm not going to say what it is,

160
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:48,959
but yeah, it's just it's something that I plan to

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,639
rewatch and I want to. I don't know if I'll

162
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,800
be able to excuse me, I don't know if I'll

163
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,480
be able to pull my dad around to it, because

164
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680
I think he's like a one movie every month's kind

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,160
of guy that I can kind of rope him in.

166
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,920
So I think I'm gonna take him to Star Wars

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
mandl Or in a grogu because he seemed to be

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000
kind of he seemed excited about that, like, oh Star Wars,

169
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
oh okay, and I think he'd enjoyed that. But this

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,839
is one that I might try to rope mint seeing

171
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:16,879
in the theaters too, because I think this is up

172
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,040
his alley. But it's just you can you can see

173
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,879
in my closing statement here, you can see the level

174
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:29,399
of optimism that I think the author Andy kind of

175
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,600
ropes into his his narratives, whether it's Matt Damon's character

176
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,559
in the Martian where it's just like, Okay, he's against

177
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,120
all odds, he's left alone on this fucking planet and

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,519
he's got limited resources.

179
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,519
Speaker 2: But it's optimistic.

180
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:40,759
Speaker 1: You know.

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 3: He he's smart, he grows potatoes out of his poop,

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,399
and he survives, he gets back to Earth and then here, yeah,

183
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,360
you're dealing with just unspeakable odds and limited limited resources

184
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,519
and problems and trying to figure out the math to

185
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,919
to your solutions and whatnot. And it's just it's full

186
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:05,399
of optimism. And I just think that they do a

187
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,600
good job at emphasizing that based on Andy's writing, albeit

188
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,080
a bit rushed at times, it still does a really

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,799
really good job and you can really feel that in

190
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,279
the theater. Everyone was just they were laughing together at

191
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:22,240
the moments that we're emotional. People were quiet, and so

192
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,639
I think it was it was a very very good

193
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,960
time on the big screen. I highly recommend it. You

194
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,399
should see it on the big screen because visually, oh, chef's.

195
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Kiss, he's muted. You need to say he was done.

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,919
Speaker 2: You know, I had a cough. I had a cough.

197
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Oh I see I see. So uh yeah, you're good

198
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,159
on that portion, then good recommend it.

199
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: Obviously I recommend it for sure.

200
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:49,519
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's not cough, that's a weird cough. Yeah.

201
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,759
So with this movie, obviously, not just Taylor, There's been

202
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:53,559
a lot of buzz about this right for I think

203
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,080
multitude reasons because not only a long with Taylor, Lots

204
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320
of people love this book, have said great things. Obviously,

205
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,799
The Martian was a big thing that really Ska directed,

206
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,360
But not only is it from the same writer, it's

207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,200
also from the same screenwriter, right, Drew Gotter adapted that

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,039
as well, so kind of similar aspects there. Phil Lord

209
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:13,159
and Christopher Miller. I've enjoyed to really liked a bunch

210
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:14,480
of their stuff, and they have directed it in a

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,879
long time, so it's been a big deal. Like the

212
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,559
last thing they directed, let me pull it up here,

213
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,519
it was two episodes of Last Man on Earth, which

214
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,720
I really loved, that Will Forte show, but like Cloude

215
00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:30,600
Chance Meatballs, really enjoyed twenty one Jump Streets. Not one

216
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240
of my favorite go tos with those two movies, but

217
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:35,279
tons of people love those movies, right, Lego movie that

218
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,159
was something that kind of changed the game. And then

219
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,759
they've been heavily involved with the Spider Verse stuff right,

220
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:43,080
big on producing front the past couple of years. But

221
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,720
this is a big deal that they really haven't directed

222
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,360
a movie twenty fourteen and twelve years. They've had their

223
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:49,200
hands and tons of pots, right, but to direct a

224
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:54,159
proper movie feature film twelve years or yeah, twelve years,

225
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,960
that's that's pretty crazy considering how much work and how

226
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:01,840
much norawiety they have in the industry. So there's lots

227
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,480
of stuff going on. And then I feel like there

228
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:06,799
was a lot of whether it's test screenings or just

229
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,840
people in the industry being like, oh, you gotta look

230
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:12,399
out for Project kil mayor that's gonna be something special,

231
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,159
that's gonna be something you gotta watch out for for

232
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:17,080
the summer, spraying, Oscar sees it, all this type of stuff.

233
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,240
So the hype was going right, and then people started

234
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,080
to see the or the critics started to see it,

235
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:23,799
and then the reviews were there calling it perfect and

236
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:26,440
an epic masterpiece. All this type of stuff, right, and

237
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,559
then there's some tech like fan screens. I think earlier

238
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,080
a couple of like U and S bubs they showed

239
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,919
in his college. We're just like and I saw he

240
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,399
dropped the five stars, so you know, what. There's lots

241
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,799
of hype going in this movie. So it's one of

242
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:40,120
those things that you can worry about, the over hype.

243
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:44,679
And that's the thing where I think, with so much

244
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:53,440
hype around it, does it meet that hype. I can say, yes,

245
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,200
it does meet that hype. Just had to go for

246
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,519
the journey a little bit there. Yeah, I did worry

247
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:00,639
about that, though I did worry it was over the hyped.

248
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,200
And I was gonna say, like the first act, not

249
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,759
like I don't even think first act, like maybe the

250
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:08,279
first see that's the tough thing because it will wait

251
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,159
till spoilers because how the movie actually opens is great.

252
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,679
The how they tell the story is a plot device.

253
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,120
I like, I think that's where today you brought up,

254
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,679
and that's where it wouldn't be a negative for me, sorry,

255
00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:22,399
be a negative for me, wouldn't be on the score

256
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,240
per se. And then I think it worked out eventually.

257
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,960
Was There is a lot of humor in the first

258
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,879
act particularly, and it kind of dribble like dribbles over

259
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:34,360
into the second one. Not like I don't I'd have

260
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:35,960
to watch again and see what really hits for me,

261
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,799
because there's a lot of stuff that luckily it wasn't

262
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,039
bad jokes like really not just like oh, just like okay,

263
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,519
a little chuckler like h or just like a dead

264
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:45,120
pan I'm not laughing as much. I think a certain

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,240
type of comedy that goes well with Lord Miller and

266
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,159
Ryan Gossling. But for me, it wasn't like hitting in

267
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,519
on the like every single time at the park where

268
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,200
the theater was having a great time with it. Right,

269
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,159
So I was gonna say where it was. From the

270
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:00,480
beginning of the second act, I was really in joying

271
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:02,519
the movie, but I was like, Okay, I don't think

272
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600
it's reaching those levels of what I've heard about, right,

273
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:06,000
And that's where I did think, oh, that's gonna be

274
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,799
one of those movies that is overhyped. And I go, okay, yeah,

275
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,159
well made good, but just wasn't the what I would

276
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:12,559
put it the film in the year. But no, I

277
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,440
think this is an incredible feat. I think this is

278
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:17,120
a level off for Lord Miller. I'm very excited to

279
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,960
see what they do next. Apparently they're the ones developing Artemis,

280
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,879
so there you go. They have them Lissa as directed

281
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,399
right now, directors right now, but I don't know if

282
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,639
that's confirmed, but anyway, so it soundly they're at least

283
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,600
producing that. But this I think gets them to another level.

284
00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:31,919
There's those projects we see all the time with certain

285
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360
directors and they're still young guys where it's just you

286
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,120
can tell they've leveled up, evolved, change their game, gone better,

287
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,679
and with everything they've done so far in their career,

288
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,480
maybe not even counting Spider Verse being then they didn't

289
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120
direct it, but with their filmography, this is hen shoulders

290
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:50,879
above everything. And yes, there is the fact of it's

291
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,080
based on a book that people really like, so of

292
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,440
course you have that layway right, but that doesn't guarantee

293
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,799
that gets you off, and that that's the plane to

294
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,399
That doesn't mean there's a landing. There are hundreds of

295
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,799
books adaptions, game adaptations, comic adaptions that we've seen that,

296
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,200
oh it was bad because they did X, Y and

297
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,840
Z not correctly right. You still have to have everything

298
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,679
fire and all cylinders, so along with them, obviously, I

299
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:18,240
think the score is great. Daniel, I think it is

300
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,559
pretder BRender or Bretterer tun I can't remember, but he

301
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:23,639
has aspired for stuff. He was great and the score

302
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,679
is kind of all over. There's multiple sections in this

303
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,879
film that feel like they're scored by someone else in

304
00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:30,840
a good way. They have a different theme that's going

305
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,559
on or a different vibe. It's very cool, very erratic

306
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,559
score in all the best ways visuals. Like Taylor said,

307
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,360
I definitely say see it on the biggest screen possible.

308
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,799
I think it is just such a feat I think

309
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,399
there's in a day and age where we talk about

310
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:47,120
all time where visual effects were created and then whether

311
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:50,600
it was they went overboard or productions get rushed. We

312
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,120
see so many visual efects nowaday is that they look

313
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,679
so bad we go you know what, I wish this

314
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:57,279
was practical because these visual efects are just not doing it.

315
00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:01,000
That's not in here at all. Like as far as

316
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:04,600
like that complaint, it is a stunning movie. It looks gorgeous,

317
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,159
looks very much like I'd say a good mix of

318
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
The Martian Interstellar, which are two movies that I'd put

319
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,919
are the tippy top for space, like looking really good

320
00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:17,840
and just looking believable. So whether it's the ship, the landscape,

321
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:20,919
the visuals, the CGI, it all lives in breeze. There's

322
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240
not a second to get taken out of the venture. Obviously,

323
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:24,919
there's a big thing Taye alluded to that if you

324
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:26,919
don't see the trairs, imagine everyone's seen it. And I

325
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:28,840
get why they show that because in the movie, the

326
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,240
way they have this paste out, oh your last day

327
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:33,879
in the non spoilers are in the spoilers. To me,

328
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,240
it makes sense why they did lead with that, and

329
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,120
you obviously want to have some sort of selling point

330
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,120
for said movie. That's something that works extremely well. And

331
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:45,120
that's another thing that could no pun in space intended

332
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,679
or no space pun intended, but that could creater the

333
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,159
fucking movie big time. If that thing doesn't work, it

334
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,000
doesn't all So all these things and everyone else great acting,

335
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,360
great action, writing, whatnot. So all these things are great.

336
00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:01,080
And then Phil Lord Miller, you know Phil Lord, Chris Miller,

337
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,720
not one name they I'd put at the tippy top

338
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:06,399
of You know, they're landing this plane, but there's no

339
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:09,679
way they could land this plane without Ryan Gosling. And

340
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,600
especially there are is long long portions and very long

341
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:19,279
portions considering let's just say Ryan Gossling is having to

342
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,559
act a certain way with certain situations. It's a thing

343
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:28,200
where he is primarily alone in this movie. I don't

344
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,000
know the screen time I'm gonna say sixty five percent.

345
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720
It might be more than that. I think it could be.

346
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:36,080
But there is a lot of stuff on Earth before

347
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,799
he goes to space. You've seen the entrance where they're

348
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:40,320
explaining him, and Sandra Huler is and there, who's great

349
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,639
as well. But there is Kopi's amount of times where

350
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,120
he is just alone and he's just playing off things.

351
00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:47,600
I'm sure they have a set form, and they even

352
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,799
said they didn't use any green screen shots, but there's

353
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:54,279
some stuff where you know, he's acting just completely alone

354
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:59,200
against something a tennis ball, some sort of screen. I

355
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,679
look over here to this, there's so much stuff he

356
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:05,519
has to do by himself. Is it is incredible, And

357
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:08,680
I think other than like the dark and dreary, i'd

358
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,200
say like place beyond the mines, Blade Runner and Drive.

359
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,119
I feel like that's the only thing he doesn't show here.

360
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,160
The rest of the stuff in his repertoire he shows

361
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,240
off in tenfold. He comes out, he's charming, he has

362
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,480
like a slight not even romance, but just he gets

363
00:17:24,519 --> 00:17:26,920
show some of those you know, caris back flirting, vibes,

364
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:29,759
very comedical. Like he said, not everything worked for me.

365
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:31,680
I think there was I would scale back on the

366
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,759
comedy a little bit, but for the theater, it pretty

367
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:35,799
much all worked for me. But it is. That's what

368
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,720
I say with him and the movie, there's tons of

369
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,079
comedy and tons of laughs, and I get it because

370
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:43,359
it's a stressful situation, right erst dying. So it's a

371
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440
good that his character is constantly going highs and lows, right,

372
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,119
So it's good to break down that character and they

373
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,039
establish it doesn't really feel like it is just like

374
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:51,920
oh jokes with the sack of jokes. That is that

375
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,759
type of character, right, Maybe it's a character that in

376
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:56,839
real life would kind of annoy me. And they even

377
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,480
do that at times to show like, yeah, maybe he's

378
00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:01,720
not the most like enjoy to be around sometimes, right.

379
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,759
But what I will give it credit for is I

380
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:07,359
think at multiple times in the movie it lays out

381
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,000
and it gets very serious, whether it's drama or emotion,

382
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,400
and I think that's good. There's times, which we've talked

383
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,559
about many franchises do this, but the MSU is the

384
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,119
biggest culprit of it right now, where there's some big

385
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680
drama going on, but they gotta throw a fucking joke

386
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,240
in there, right, And that's where I'll give it where

387
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,519
I think they go hard on the humor, but I

388
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:26,599
think they go hard on the right part. So that's why,

389
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,559
Actually the humor doesn't affect my score because not all

390
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,599
the jokes I really jived with. But there wasn't moments

391
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,039
where I'd say, there's a third act, there's another time.

392
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:38,480
There's multiple times, but to them in particular, where you

393
00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:40,640
could easily throw a joke in there with this character

394
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,359
who's known to kind of joke around and uses as

395
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,759
a crutch, you could throw it in there, and they don't.

396
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:47,440
They let them out play. And yeah, I actually had

397
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,880
one moment where I was tearing up. I don't think

398
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
it's the same as Taylor. I don't know if anyone

399
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,119
else in the theater. And happens in the first act.

400
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,079
It was tremendous acting. And yet Gossling, I think obviously

401
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,680
we have lots way to go. I definitely think it's

402
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,720
gonnaet animated for Best Picture. I think Gossling, he's definitely

403
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,359
my front runner run to Oscar. There's tons of times

404
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,920
still to go, but we just end the Oscars in

405
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,359
Golden Kis last week. This is like a front runner

406
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,160
of many categories. Gossling is that definitely. I can't know

407
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,599
if I can say it's his best because I have

408
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,480
to think about that, because this guy has a great career,

409
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:17,079
one of the best working actors. But this is definitely

410
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:20,079
I would say like top three up there. Okay, I'll

411
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:21,880
go top five to be safe, but I'm pretty calm

412
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,960
from the top three. I think Gosling is is a

413
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,480
force in this movie because of just what he has

414
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,240
to do and same thing like that other element. If

415
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,720
Gossling doesn't work to this degree, the movie would just

416
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,119
shatter apart. And sure, there's lots of great actors there

417
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,960
that can do a good performance, but I don't think

418
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:41,200
every actor could do exactly what he could. Hear, Like,

419
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,039
look at Ian McKeown when he had to act against

420
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:45,400
fucking cgi tennis balls and he, you know, was just

421
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,400
like this fucking sucks man. He did the best he can.

422
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,759
But Gossling just thrived here. It was There's just a

423
00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:54,759
lot of unbelievable things in this movie that he makes

424
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,039
you believe. And I think Gossling deserves a huge amount

425
00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:01,480
of praise. Obviously, crew everything, the directors probably mostly right

426
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,880
because they put this together. They really you know, fly

427
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,640
the plane, but gossom man like Lord and Miller were

428
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,559
flying the plane, but Ryan Goslin had the directions, you know.

429
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,359
Or maybe it's the other way around that might be

430
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,079
the better analogy. But those three together, I think are

431
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,319
really the driving forces this And uh yeah, no, And

432
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,839
because this is a non sports usually we wait. But

433
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:23,279
I don't know what Taylor's going, so I was kind

434
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:25,519
of surprised. But I'd be dropping the big old ten

435
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,680
out of ten on this one. So I don't have

436
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,640
That's what I didn't say. I didn't read the book.

437
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,559
I don't have any of that. Do I think it's

438
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:33,920
like a perfect movie. No, But as I've said before,

439
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:38,359
my score is always a combination of my enjoyment and critiques.

440
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,000
I have some critiques and some little grim of there,

441
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,200
but lots of times when the highs are highs, you know, Sinners,

442
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:46,880
Big weekend Oscars, I have issues with that movie. But

443
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,279
when the highs get so high, that's where it gets

444
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:50,920
you to a certain level where Okay, it kind of

445
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,079
gnulls out some of that stuff that maybe I didn't

446
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,880
think was perfect. But an amazing journey, amazing great journey

447
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,440
with his character, multiple great emotional moments that make you

448
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,799
and like there alluded to as far as the hope

449
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:04,720
and the optimism, I think that has Martian has that

450
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:08,400
for sure, but this is like that double and lots

451
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,240
of times I love, Like I've said this for I

452
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,079
love movies where people are depressed. I love long, sad movies.

453
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,839
But at the same time, I do love the movies that,

454
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:18,799
as Rob Williams says in Goodwill Hunting, like that's the

455
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,119
good stuff right there, and that's that's what this has.

456
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,519
So uh yeah, definitely go see it. By Taylor what

457
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:24,720
would what would be your score?

458
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: He made some really good points there. I want to

459
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:34,119
give it that full like, I want to give.

460
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: It that full ten.

461
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,039
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I just think,

462
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,680
oh it was I don't like how they rushed at

463
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,640
the beginning, and I felt like the end was definitely

464
00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:45,839
rushed too, So I don't.

465
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: Really I thought the dand was not slow, but like

466
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:50,200
took its time quite a bit.

467
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't feel like it took its time. I feel

468
00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:53,359
like like.

469
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: There there was a part where it just got really expedited,

470
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:00,200
and I think, oh, that's just I don't know, and

471
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,119
they cut a few extra things off. I should say

472
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,440
two from from the end, maybe one notable thing that

473
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,400
I was looking for, but another thing that they could

474
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,880
have really sold an emotional moment, but they didn't go

475
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:16,319
that route. But like all that being said, I'd still

476
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,759
go with personal biased. I go a nine point five.

477
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,720
I just I'm not going to get the full ten

478
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,759
because I think that the start and the end had

479
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:28,079
some rushed moments, whereas the middle was slower, and they

480
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,640
had a lot more stuff that was just juicier and whatnot.

481
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,200
And yet, like you, like you said, the way they

482
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,440
tell the story, that's exactly like how it is in

483
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,240
the book, and I'm very happy that they adhered to that.

484
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,599
Speaker 2: I think that was that was great.

485
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,519
Speaker 1: So yeah, well there you go. It's in there. Now

486
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,559
to Tras likes project Killimary more than Taylor.

487
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: You know, he hates something shirt. Now you gotta read

488
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:48,880
the book.

489
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: Maybe one day, but no, no rush right now. Not

490
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,240
a book guy, you know, No, I just don't have

491
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:58,119
time burb books. That's the thing. I'm always backlogged, I said,

492
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,000
aweste is next, I'm like a one book of guys,

493
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,480
one book a year type of guy. There's so much

494
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:05,359
stuff I'm already you should see my backlog on com books,
