  This production is brought to you by the Recess Bella. So let's all go
• 0:09
  to the lobby to get ourselves a treat. Let's all go to the lobby
• 0:18
  to get ourselves a treat. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening,
• 0:26
  good night. I don't know when you're listening to this, but this is
• 0:29
  film real and I want to talk about something that needs to be talked about,
• 0:34
  and that is food. As a former fat guy, I love food
• 0:39
  even to this day. But what is the best food to eat while watching
• 0:45
  a movie? This is important, This is very important. I think when
• 0:50
  you're seeing a movie in theaters, it's a necessity to have something to eat.
• 0:56
  For me, I need something that's gonna last a long time. Especially
• 1:00
  these movies these days. You know they're they're all over two hours long.
• 1:03
  I don't want to have something that's done with by the time the previews are
• 1:07
  over with. So you can't get a hot food unless you time it out
• 1:11
  perfectly and you enter the theater as soon as the movie's about to start.
• 1:15
  Having something like a pizza Na Joe's pretzel. It sounds nice, it's delicious,
• 1:22
  but to me, it's not long lasting. You're done with that,
• 1:23
  especially me. I'm a very fast eater. I'm done with that shit in
• 1:26
  four minutes, five minutes top, So then you're just stuck the next you
• 1:30
  know, one hundred and twenty minutes with nothing, just twiddle in your thumb.
• 1:36
  So you need something. That's why popcorn is great because you could munch
• 1:38
  on it, it's long lasting, you have a few bite tier, you
• 1:42
  put it to the side, you have some more later on. And although
• 1:46
  it is a hot food at first, it's not awful once it's cool down.
• 1:49
  But is there something better than popcorn? I don't know. That's why
• 1:53
  I want to explore on this additional film real I think you know, we've
• 1:57
  done a lot of movie reviews, but there's more to the movie. There's
• 2:00
  the ambiance, there's the setting. Do you want to have something that's crinkling?
• 2:04
  You know? I hate hearing like throughout the movie, and I'm always
• 2:08
  self conscious that people are hearing this, And I'm also self conscious that people
• 2:13
  are hearing so I always pre open any candy I'm having. I think everybody
• 2:21
  needs to have this etiquette when watching a movie in theaters, pre open your
• 2:25
  candy, or if you're going to eat your candy and open it, or
• 2:30
  if you're gonna chew loud, do it during an action sequence. Nobody wants
• 2:34
  to see one of your favorite characters dying from non Hodgkins lymphoma and then you
• 2:38
  just hear, oh, I have cancer, Like, come on, be
• 2:49
  better. We don't need any of that nonsense. I just crumpled up a
• 2:53
  random sheet of paper. I don't know if that's important or not, but
• 2:54
  that's besides the point. So boob, you need proper etiquette as far as
• 3:00
  their proper eticate goes. If you're taking in food from the outside, which
• 3:04
  isn't illegal. I mean, I worked at a movie theater for years.
• 3:07
  I was told that we cannot legally stop somebody from bringing in food. It's
• 3:13
  sort of like a company policy to tell them not to do it. But
• 3:16
  you cannot physically stop somebody from bringing in food. But if you are going
• 3:21
  to bring food in from the outside, please don't make it disgusting. Nobody
• 3:24
  wants to smell tuna fish while watching a movie. They just don't do that
• 3:30
  at your house. So if you bring outside food, make sure it doesn't
• 3:34
  smell like shit. So what is my personal go to food? If I
• 3:38
  want a candy, I like to go to the seven to eleven prior to
• 3:43
  the showtime, and I like to get something healthy. I'm a healthy boy.
• 3:46
  These days, I get like a bag of mixed nuts or you know,
• 3:50
  chocolate covered almonds. I know that's not the most healthy thing, but
• 3:53
  you know, you get some dark chocolate some nuts. There should be healthy
• 3:57
  options at these theaters. I know you go to the theater to veg out,
• 4:00
  but there should be an option to have something a little healthier. There's
• 4:04
  none, So I usually get something like I said, you know, the
• 4:08
  mixed nuts. And then I like to get a popcorn because you can't go
• 4:12
  to the movies without a popcorn, and which you could do with popcorn and
• 4:15
  chocolate. And this is something I never did as a kid, but I
• 4:18
  remember seeing people doing that. You can mix your chocolate treat, whether it's
• 4:23
  the mixed nuts or Eminem's peanut Eminems. If I'm feeling fat, I'm gonna
• 4:27
  get that or bunch of crunch. You mix that with the popcorn so it
• 4:30
  sort of milts. You get milts, that's not a word, It melts,
• 4:33
  and you get this mix of a salty and a sweet treat. Really
• 4:39
  really good. Another top tier candy for me is chocolate cover raisins, whether
• 4:45
  it's raisin nuts or just a standard other brand offshoot brand of chocolate cover raisins,
• 4:49
  I feel like it's healthier because you have raisins involved with it. If
• 4:54
  I am going the sour route, there's the two that jump to mind,
• 4:58
  just your standard sour patch kids, but even better than that, the sour
• 5:01
  patch watermelons. Unbelievable. And I feel like a lot of these snacks you
• 5:06
  don't see anywhere else besides the theater, at least I know, I personally
• 5:11
  don't buy any of these things outside of the movie theater. I try and
• 5:15
  be healthy in the normal world, but when you enter the fantasy world of
• 5:18
  a movie theater, you know you can take a break from your diet.
• 5:21
  You can indulge from time to time. So that's what I like to do.
• 5:26
  I don't mind. I know, I said earlier some of those hot
• 5:29
  foods they go buy too quick, but they are delicious. I mean not
• 5:32
  Joe's and cheese, Pretzels and cheese really good. But again, I feel
• 5:38
  like I just in gorge. Is that a word in gorge? In golf?
• 5:45
  In golf, that's the word I'm looking for, Like Kirby from the
• 5:47
  video game. I just I'm sucking it down pause. So as much as
• 5:54
  I like it, I know it's not going to last. But you know,
• 5:57
  I've gone and gotten the you know, the pret in the nachos from
• 6:01
  time to time. But a big issue I have with getting those products that
• 6:04
  you dip in cheese. You never know how much cheese you have left because
• 6:10
  there's no light, so you just dip in and then you might end up
• 6:13
  with no cheese and then you're just eating those last chips without cheese, which
• 6:16
  you can't do that, or you have way too much cheese and you were
• 6:19
  just rationing poorly. So there needs to be a mini light, I think
• 6:24
  attached to the cheese. Maybe a glowing cheese. Can we have glowing anybody
• 6:29
  that's listening out there, take it. I'm not even patent pending, it's
• 6:33
  not copywritten. Take it glowing cheese. Now, your shit might end up
• 6:38
  glowing after it, but that's a price that you're gonna have to pay for
• 6:42
  having the proper ratio of cheese on your nachos and your pretzels. As far
• 6:47
  as drinks go in my bladder, my bladder is not good these days.
• 6:51
  I'm an old man and having a small drake. The small is gigantic.
• 6:58
  I know that that's such a cliche thing. You go to the theater and
• 7:01
  you always hear that's a small. As someone who worked at a theater,
• 7:04
  you would constantly hear that, But it's true. The small is so big.
• 7:10
  So I gotta usually bring in an outside drink because I can't get the
• 7:16
  soda. Soda goes right through me. Maybe I'll bring in a water,
• 7:20
  maybe a gatorade. I don't feel like paying the prices because they sell gatorades
• 7:25
  and waters at these theaters, but might as well just go to the seven
• 7:28
  to eleven, pick up your drink by the bang, by the boom,
• 7:30
  go to the theater, bring it in. But now now they're serving alcohol
• 7:36
  in a lot of these theaters on Long Island in particular. I don't know
• 7:40
  about other states, not that Long Island's a state, it's not. But
• 7:44
  I don't know if other states other than New York, I'm sure there are.
• 7:46
  I would imagine Florida has lots of movie theaters with alcohol in it.
• 7:51
  But soda goes right through me. Booze goes through me even quicker, so
• 7:56
  I couldn't imagine drinking some beers, and what would the prices be for a
• 8:00
  beer. I haven't bought a beer at a movie theater, but I'm assuming
• 8:03
  it's got to be close to what you pay for at a baseball game.
• 8:07
  So it's gonna be expensive. You're gonna be missing a lot of the movie.
• 8:09
  You need to time it out properly when you need to pay. That's
• 8:13
  also key. There's a website actually you can look up when the best time
• 8:16
  to use the bathroom is at the theater. Which brings me to another idea
• 8:20
  I had now. I used to work at a movie theater, as I've
• 8:24
  mentioned, and the projection booth is a very large room because old movie theaters
• 8:31
  used to use giant film reels. I mean, these things weren't gigantic.
• 8:35
  Nowadays, all the movies are loaded in on these little flash drives. So
• 8:39
  these rooms haven't been changed, but they still have the space there. What
• 8:45
  can we do with that space? Make it a bathroom? You just walk
• 8:50
  up the stairs. You'll have to do some construction, but you just walk
• 8:52
  up there. You could sound proof it. You can have one of those
• 8:56
  one way mirror type things, so you know people can't see you take your
• 9:00
  shit or your piss, but you should be able to watch the movie while
• 9:03
  taking a piss or taking a shit in the projection booth area. Imagine this
• 9:09
  is Heaven on Earth for me. Imax three d Avatar taking a shit while
• 9:16
  watching it. Heaven on Earth, Heaven on Earth movie theaters. If you're
• 9:20
  listening again, take the idea. It's not copywriting, but I want to
• 9:26
  shit while watching my movie. Then you could even bring a snack in there.
• 9:31
  Kill two Birds with One Stone by the bing boy, the boom.
• 9:33
  You're shitting, you're eating, you're watching your movie. That's Heaven on Earth.
• 9:37
  So yeah, that was pretty much today's episode of film. Really just
• 9:41
  want to talk about eating and shitting and pissing, and we'll get back to
• 9:46
  some movie reviews. But there's more to the movies than just the movies.
• 9:52
  There's the whole experience, and I think talking about the ambiance and the setting
• 9:56
  and the food and all that nonsense needed to be talked about. But we're
• 10:01
  getting to we'll get into some more movie talk next week. We also want
• 10:05
  to talk about some of my experiences at the theater, and we'll talk about
• 10:09
  we got so much, we got to talk about movie posters, movie trailers.
• 10:11
  We got lists, we got reviews, We're gonna have more guests on
• 10:16
  film. Reil is here to stay and I'm excited to see what the future
• 10:18
  brings. So long, everybody,
