Transcript
- Sam: I just got a message from Teigan popping up 'cause she can hear it from the other room and she's like, just hearing you talk about this movie I'm tearing up just listening about the film makes me sad, you dead fucking robot. Hi everyone, welcome back to Pile of Mates. My name is Sam De Lorenzo and it's so great to have you guys back here again for another week of watching random movies. before I forget, I should probably introduce who we've got here. We have the the choice of movie today was from our the lovely Pacco Daniel (Pacco): Hey. Sam: And of course we have Corey with us as well. How are you guys doing? Corey: Very well, thanks. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, still here, still on your podcast. Sam: Yeah, still holding it together emotionally. Another week. So, we went through the Wild Robot. Pacco do you wanna just kick us off and tell us a little bit about the Wild Robot and why you picked it? Daniel (Pacco): Why I picked it? I think it's probably one of those very few movies that make me realise I have a soul. I remember watching it one time on a plane and then I was just like in my hands just like yeah this will pass a few hours and all that stuff and you know going in blind like every other movie and just thinking this is great kids movie let's see how it goes you know just one of them but yeah then it just took a very emotional turn, like not once, not twice, maybe three, four times too. You know, I remember just sitting on the plane watching this movie going, oh God. And the wife is right Sam: Ha ha ha Daniel (Pacco): next to me like, are you all right? Can you get your shit together? So I thought, you know what, why don't we give this movie a watch again? Because I remembered it really hit me hard. that's why I thought, why not? Let's see what you guys think of it. Sam: Yeah. I'm so stoked you picked this because I had again, this is one of those movies that I'd always thought about watching but just had never either got the time to or just never it just never popped up at the right time. It was like, Do I want to watch an emotionally charged movie? Maybe not tonight. But it this one I feel like it really forced me to watch it. I'm so glad you did. Daniel (Pacco): Glad you liked it. I think. Sam: Yeah. And Corey? Corey: Yeah, I'd never heard about this movie before. never saw a trailer or anything pop up. so I was a bit surprised when you mentioned it. I was sort of like, yeah, haven't don't know it. but yeah, we watched it and yeah, keen to unravel it. Sam: so the wild robot, a little bit about this one. a heartfelt animated story from DreamWorks is a sentient robot stranded on an uninhabited island raises an orphan gosling while trying to fit in with the wildlife surrounding her, building the family she accidentally created for herself, and finding her place on the island. It's a l beautiful little story not a little story, just a beautiful story about a robot. A wild robot. So, first up, Paco, first as you as you always ask us, first impressions? Daniel (Pacco): First impressions. My asking you. Okay. My first impressions. Like holy shit. You know, like no, it's I look, I've got this collection on Letterboxd and it there's like children's movies that like hit hard. Like I can't explain it anymore. I don't know. If you ever watch How to Train Your Dragon or Kung Fu Panda, you'd be like, this is more than what a kid's movie should be showing. So Sam: Yeah, it's it's honestly just like an emotional punch. A good punch, but it's just an emotional punch in the gut, isn't it? Daniel (Pacco): Hmm. So in terms of first impressions, what do you guys think of the actual art style of the movie? I thought that was something else. Like it was almost like what do you call it? Like a CGI painting almost? Like Sam: Yeah, it it really is. It it's I think so it's based on so it's based on a book series. I d did a bit of research design, so it's based on a book series, a novel, but there's also a picture story book of the first film as well. And I think the art style from this film, it's yeah, it really feels like a painting come to life. I just thought it was so refreshing, the style. Like it didn't feel like it felt beautiful and modern, but it didn't feel like your kind of generic I don't say generic, because I don't think like there are films, say, by Pixar and other Dri DreamWorks films and Disney animation, like th this this three D CG animation, which are really beautiful, but this just felt like something else. It just like you said, it felt like a paint a a painting coming to life. Mmm. That Daniel (Pacco): It just it felt warm, it really to me it felt alive. Like, you know, when it just Sam: The colours, that shot when the light is kind of it was one of the so when this film came out, I was working in in the cinema industry and I remember one of the stills that was released very early on was that shot of all of the light beaming out of Roz. And I was just amazed. It was a beautiful shot and it just it's just a stunning piece. It just yeah, almost so many frames from this film you could just pick up and it was to have a perfect image. They were just Daniel (Pacco): Hm. Sam: so beautiful. Daniel (Pacco): What about you, Corey? What did you think? First impressions? Corey: yeah, it was definitely emotional. It was very intense, emotionally, so I I liked it, yeah. Daniel (Pacco): what did you think of the art style of it? Was it something different or? Corey: to be honest I didn't like it was beautiful, but it sort of it didn't like wow me as though it's like, wow, this is actually something different. it sort of looked pretty I guess what I'm used to, but after hearing you you guys saying all that stuff, I'm like, shit, maybe I should rewatch it or see it look at the scenes again. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Hmm. Sam: Just go straight back into it. Are you are you still emotionally recovering? You only just watched it, correct? Corey: Yes, yep, yep. About yeah, fifteen minutes ago. So I actually watched it in two parts. I watched the first thirty minutes yesterday and to be honest I wasn't enjoying it. And then today when we picked up on it again, I was feeling it a lot more. But obviously that's probably because the story started to build up and you had your character developments and all that. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Mm, mm. Sam: Yeah. So where where did that cutoff happen? I'm trying to think in the story wise, where did that Daniel (Pacco): I I'm just going by cor I guess for Corey, but I mean, wouldn't that be like her just running around the island before the goose is even introduced? I do find that bit a little bit you know, where's this film going? How's it what's gonna happen? How's it gonna be this A grade sort of flick? You know what I mean? Sam: Sort of waiting for something to happen. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, because you know, it's just all right, everyone's trying to kill you, fair enough. You got a crow's head in your hand, you're boiling crabs, everything's dying around you. But Sam: It w it was kinda dark at the start, wasn't it? Like when when she just kills the bird, you're like, that's that happened. Like Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Sam: that's that's not like accident or she just discovered the the the egg. No, she killed and crushed many birds. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, no, she took out a whole family if I recall correct. Like, for Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): a children's movie, DreamWorks really didn't hesitate to put in death and not once, Sam: Mm. Daniel (Pacco): it was like several times, man. Like so many. Sam: And they just kind of throw it aside. I know this is like jumping ahead a little bit, but The possum that has Daniel (Pacco): Okay. Sam: all of the family. She's like, I'm a mum of seven. a mum of six. I'm like, And then it's like, don't worry, it's alive. But like, just throw it off. Like I know it's a joke, you're like, like she Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, but Yeah Sam: was just fine with her animal she's almost one of the worst animal mums. Actually, this is a side note for you guys, but do you c do you know what Australian animal, when threatened with death, will throw their own children at the impending danger to get away? Daniel (Pacco): Gonna guess possum since you've brought up that word. Sam: No. The wor no no, this is the world's supposedly happiest animal in the world, the Quaka, found only in WA Rotness Island, or roughly just on Rot well, not just on Rotness Island, but around mostly on Rotnest Isnest Island. Yes. But they will throw their young at the predators to get away. So if you think an animal is a bad mum, not even close. Daniel (Pacco): Threaten a crocker and you get a pet. Okay. Sam: Hmm. Yes. But yes, that's kind of what this this mum was like. She's like, well just well one one down, six to go. She was a bit too Daniel (Pacco): well. Sam: chill. And then Roz is taking motherly advice. I know. Corey: It was pretty dark. Like I looked at Daniel (Pacco): Hmm. Well Corey: Anita when that happened and we were just both like, whoa, did that actually just happen? And then I'm Sam: Yeah. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Mm-hmm. Corey: like, man, this is like I don't know, it was like quite the movie felt very like real in regards to survival and, you know, animals and nature. which was nice, but Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, you're really thinking like you're really thinking like is what sort of kids movie is this, right? Sam: Yeah. Yeah. Corey: Yeah. It was a fine line for a kid's move in regards to yeah, how far they actually go with it. Sam: think the more I thought about this film, because I I I really like overall I thought it was a great film, although my fiancee kinda went off at me because I didn't cry in it and she apparently was bawling her eyes out. I didn't cry, but I thought it was a brilliant film. But I think the more I sat on it, I thought, first of all, this film is like a great representation of family in terms of n like a not end quote like normal family. Like As in i if you really wanted to explain hey, they're essentially like a blended family, you know, a d an adopted duck with a with a random fox and and and a robot mum. Like it's a very, you know, different family. And I think for kids watching this that don't have the the normal family of just like mum, dad and child, it's a really good representation to have that on screen. And the more I thought about that, I'm like, kid, this would be great for little kids. I mean, obviously it's a great film in general, but it's just to kind of be able to accept because I think kids are such an accepting bunch that showing them on the screen like this is a really good way of representing it. And yeah, just the more I thought about it, I like, yeah, that's that is a good it was just a yeah just and it really just felt like a big warm hug, the whole film, honestly. The more I thought about it, more Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, right. Mm-hmm. Sam: the ending of it. I think that's why I didn't I was it's saying is I I cry at like sad things in the movie. And yeah there was some dark parts of this movie, but this film is like a hug. I felt good about it. Even though there were some sad parts and and and the ending, you know, without jumping ahead too far, it was arguably sad, or it is sad, but it's still the warmth and happiness is there, the whole film. And I think that's what really, you know, blended with the art style, blended with the story, it just really felt like a nice just feel feely good. You feel good watching it and you feel good afterwards. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm, mm. Yeah. Just just jumping Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): on that topic. It it I guess it takes apart of like multiple psi perspectives of people. Like if you're a parent and watching this, you kinda relate, you know, you're just making this up as you're going along with life. Like no parent knows what they're frickin' doing. But being as someone who doesn't have kids, it kind of makes you reflect on yourself in a way and look at how your parents may have raised you. And I can see it kinda in a some way, look, I'm not getting personal. I mean like it's like were you grateful as a kid to your parents? It kinda touches that area. Like you saw Bright Bill talking to his mum like, you know, I resent you, blah blah blah. How could you do this to my family? But Roz was still there to you know, just hold him, let him fly, complete his task, at least my Great. And I forgot the name of that older goose in the movie. The the one that was like the captain or something. But anyway. Sam: yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, well Corey: Now. Daniel (Pacco): that sounds right. But yeah. but he said to Bright Bill, like, look, you weren't meant to survive, you were the runt of the litter. So if it wasn't without your mum, you weren't meant to be here. So it kind of gives you that little perspective of like, look. Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): pounce are there for you and you might not see it, you know. But yeah. Sam: It's a great message of everything happens for a reason. Daniel (Pacco): Hmm. Mm. But like you said, Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): definitely that warm hug sort of vibes throughout the whole movie. Yeah. Sam: Yeah. yeah, absolutely. I mean, and again, without jumping ahead too much, I feel like and sort of I'm on the other side of that where I think if I again I haven't I this is the first time I've seen this film, but I c I can imagine I probably would have felt not differently about the film, but just I I feel like I got a lot more out of it this time sorry, being being a parent in terms of just being like I understood that struggle of like you said, Paco, is that that Daniel (Pacco): Hm. Sam: The thing with parenting is that no one knows what the heck they're doing. You w everyone is essentially making it and yeah, like you get as much advice as you can and you get all the help you can and you read all the books and you look I well if that's what you're into, you you do the things or you just go in completely blind. but you're just kind of doing the best with the tools you have is that biggest thing. And I think and and if it helps with you know other people think about their parents is that yeah, they probably are thinking about that whether it was bad, you know, parents from the seventies, eighties, nineties, early thousands, mid thousands, now is that you just kinda go with the tools you have and whether it's you know whether it's just sitting there googling how to do things or asking a random possum how do I do things, that you're just gonna use the tools you have to be the best parent you can. and Roz literally grew feelings for and developed feel like as in development. developed emotions for this child because that's what the child needed. I think that's the great thing is that you will always just whatever the ch your child needs, you will be able to you'll do. You'll grow those things. You'll create those things because that's what you know that's what parent it's that's it you just work it out. You'll wing it, literally. No time no pun intended there. Yeah. So I Daniel (Pacco): Good one. Good one. Sam: mean Yeah, like I I d I feel like we've we've kind of over gone over this like the overall themes of this film, but like plot wise, I feel like it sort of it and Corey you kinda touched on it with you said it's that you started the film and it kind of y hit a dip one way and you sort of hit a pause and then we kinda kept going. But yeah, it does kind of have this kind of weird opener of Where's this film going? And I guess once you know, I feel like once that that whole the nest incident happens, then it really takes off in terms of like Bright Bill hatching. There's the sort of the time. we also we meet we meet Fink the the fox. Fink the fox. I this this character really threw me because I wasn't sure where he was going with it. I felt like, you know, it was big Predator at the start. And then he kinda pulled back and he's like, no, I actually just want food no, I actually just want shelter, I actually just want a family. I'd never really got his character motivation. I don't know about you guys, how you felt about Fink. Daniel (Pacco): you go. Corey: I was just I was I was the same. I really thought they were gonna open up his like backstory of why he's actually wanting to hang with them. There's obviously some sort of emotional or family thing that happened in the past and that's why he's alone and he wants to be with someone. But it sort of never really showed that and I was kind of Sam: Hmm. Corey: expecting that to happen. And then also at the beginning I was sort of like, Well fox is a sly, he must be there for his own reason, which we did find out was to eat. but then I kind of thought there would be bigger reason later on, but yeah Sam: Yeah. Corey: there wasn't. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, it just sounds Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): like it was just survival in the first case. But Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): yeah, but if I'm right, aren't aren't foxes a bit of like a solitary sort of animal? Don't they just do things on their own? Maybe you wanted the family? That's just Seems like everyone wanted to be a part of it. Yeah. Sam: Yeah. Did you I wanna say did you guys pick who who voiced him as well? It took it was it it I feel like the actor did this really well but you can sort there are mannerisms of their their normal voice, but there were points where I'm like, I don't know if that's them or not. And then when the credits come up, I'm like, of course it was them. But did you guess who it was? Corey: Yeah, I knew he was voice acting, but I didn't know which character he was doing. I was like, it must Daniel (Pacco): No Sam: Yeah. Corey: be the fox, but I like, it doesn't sound like him. Daniel (Pacco): look that Fox had a very distinctive voice. I was just whole film like whoo hoo and like yeah the credits coming like come on Sam: Yeah. Yeah. And I guess for our audience who may not have worked it out, it's Pedro Pascal who is in basically everything and everyone and every film that ever existed apparently in the last ten years. 'Cause is he's he is literally pick he pops up in everything, right? This guy. I mean he's fantastic in everything also, don't ever get me wrong there. I I think Pedro Pascal is an absolute treat of a human being. so we get the I guess the sort of the montage of training Bright Bill and and and Bright Bill sort of grows up in the blink of an eye. It's like, little baby Bright Bill and then bam he's a teenager and ready almost ready, you almost ready to flock. I did feel like that was a little bit short. That I feel like that could have been expanded just a tiny bit. What did you guys? Daniel (Pacco): Well, I mean, it's a bird. I mean I mean like they grow really fast. Give it like three weeks that they're like adults, no? But but you got a little bit of a montage. Sam: This is true. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): You saw how the Bright Bill's little sculpture on the wall, the little art prints of him growing at this age, this age, this age. You got a rough idea, Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): but I know what you mean. You wanted it a little bit longer, but You kinda got Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): that vibe when he was a bit older, like he was quirky, he follows it Roz's doo sort of vibe, so Yeah, that parental upbringing. Sam: Yeah. I also the one thing that kinda like ticked me off in this little bit, and I know it's like and it I know I'm the weird one here, that I think of weird things that annoy me in films that don't get reference back to. I I like I wanted some sort of closure. Is that when Bright Bill and this maybe gone back just before the montage, sorry, but when Roz gets Bright Bill and the possum is like you've got to feed them, fly and my no, what was it? F feed, fly swim swim and fly. Yeah, feed, Daniel (Pacco): Swim yeah, yeah. Sam: swim and fly. And so Roz feeds him and she's like, good, that's done. And then and then Roz is like, but no no, you Daniel (Pacco): Phew. Sam: need to do this every day. But like Roz isn't like the task is every day. Roz is like, okay, and cake and the and the food is always ticked, even though like What how did she know she had to feed him every day? Like there was no like it really stressed me out that it was ticked. You didn't see it getting ticked every day, you just saw it being ticked once. Did this poor duck get shown food once and then had to go find itself food every day for the rest of its life? I don't know, it real it real ticked me off. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Corey: You know, it's only like an hour and forty minute movie, so they can't really fit everything in, but Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Like how much detail do you want in it? Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): I mean, gee. Sam: All the detail. I want all the detail. Everything explained for me right in front of me every second, obviously. Daniel (Pacco): Guess we should've explained the birds and the bees then, probably. god. Sam: Obviously the birds and the birds or the bees and the bees. Or the birds and the bees and the birds and the bees. Corey: There was no bees. There was honey though, so there must have been bees there. They just didn't make an appearance. Sam: No. Exactly. Just complete plot hole, guys. Daniel (Pacco): Was that a sex scene? Okay. No. Sam: Yeah. They really wanted to keep it PG, unfortunately. It was ridiculous. I really wanted realism here. These blended family movies are getting stranger and stranger, I tell you. So we s so then we get to the the learning to fly sequence. I know Paco you had some things on that. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, I I like the part when that you know wait, was it learning to fly or the migration scene? It's kinda like nearly two in one you got there. Sam: I mean yeah, it it's sort of yeah, the flying and he does like this kind of you know and I mean I I like that she's you know, the the constant learning I guess is like it's hey, let's let's go find someone that actually knows what we're doing, how to actually fly and then this owl is like, Well, I got it for you and he you know I thought he was really cool that and I thought that owl was a lot of fun. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, that was it a hawk in the movie? now. Yeah, but I I I like Sam: A hawk, sorry, not a f not an owl. Yeah. Hawks are way cooler than owls. Daniel (Pacco): No, but I like how Brightbird was complaining about his wingspan, you know, being too small and you know, he pulls out still doesn't Yeah. Sam: Yeah. Kana gave me vibes of like finding Nemo with like Nemo and his little he's a bad fin. It's like, but I've got a bad fin is like, you know, that's not gonna let you don't let us stop you, kinda thing. It's Daniel (Pacco): Hm. Sam: a nice Daniel (Pacco): No, it's got a few inspirational moments I'd say in that flick. Sam: Mm. Daniel (Pacco): You know, it doesn't matter what you are and how small whatever you are too, but seems Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): like you can find your way no matter how hard you try. So yeah. Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): But a little bit after that scene when you start talking about the migration scene, I believe he gets resent towards his mum then and then it's the then he Yeah. Sam: Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, there's I the one thing I I kinda wanted to comment on a bit was just the the kind of the the the amim animosity between Roz and Bright Bill. But i I feel like it didn't even again, this is not to be nitpicky, but I do feel like it could have been You you kinda they they sorta made up but they sorta didn't and then and and and think kinda says, is it still a bit weird? They're like, Yeah, it's a bit weird but there's no kind of like it's like, but everything's fine and and it's this and I guess it's kinda maybe it's a good I mean more I think about it, it's like a realisation of real life that there's not always this like perfect resolution to things, especially with kids being angry at things. It's just like kids will be angry but things are gonna be okay, even if there's not this like I forgive you moment. So maybe w you know, now talking about it kind of process that I do think about that maybe it's let me change that view on things. Corey: Yeah, it's sort of like the mum continues to provide and help and continues on even though, yeah, the kid hasn't said sorry or resolved their their conflict Sam: Yeah. Corey: with them. Sam: Yeah. It's like a nice message of like, yeah, even no matter what, the parents are always gonna love their kids and them it's it's not you know, you have a fight, you have an argument, sure, it's it's but it doesn't really change the fact and the baseline of that, you know, you love your kids and and you'll do anything for them. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, and no matter how much he kind of resented her in the film, like when he was about to fly off with the migration he asked her, Can you give me a boost? And you know, I thought that was a bit heart touching that moment. It was like, Yeah, she got Sam: Hmm. Yeah, they just Daniel (Pacco): this resent, but you still love so Yeah. I thought it was pretty sweet. many, many, many. Sam: Yeah. Yeah. And the the the tear rolled down your face there? Was that We we we didn't check in with 'cause I know you said you watched the first time you watched it by yourself on the on the plane. How did your wife find it? Did she watch it this time? Daniel (Pacco): Well gee, this is where it's awkward. she fell asleep. Sam: no. Daniel (Pacco): because like Corey, she saw the the start intro bit and you know, it's that whole wow, what's going on with this movie? And I don't think she got into it, so she just napped it. So I know. And I was shocked because I want I wanted to watch her ball in her eyes out. So get her back. But yeah, no, I was Sam: Yeah. Right. Devastating. Yeah, you just How dare Corey: She loves Sam: she? Corey: ducks as well, doesn't she? Daniel (Pacco): I know, I know. Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): I was low-key pissed. I was like, you watched me tear out now twice and then Yeah. yeah. Yeah, Sam: Yeah. So she woke up and you're just sitting there with T Y with with the with the tissues. Daniel (Pacco): she still says like get your shit together, so you know. that's it. You know what? I know. Sam: true love, you two. So Bright Bill, he goes migration. Brightbill kind discovers that there is more Roz's out there during the the farm, the plantation stuff. Daniel (Pacco): No, 'cause it just popped in my head with the whole flying to that futuristic city, did you realise how far in the future this flick might have been? Because yeah, you got the robot. Yeah, fair enough, that's pretty sci-fi, but did you notice like the San Francisco bridge was underwater and did anyone pick up them? Yeah. No Corey: I was so confused by that. Like I w I Sam: I d no, I didn't notice. Yeah. Global warming. Corey: said Sorry. Sam: That'll explain it. Daniel (Pacco): Spoilers. Corey: I was saying to Anita, I was like, what the hell's going on here? Why are the whales above the bridge? And she's like, no, no, it's like futuristic and like the sea level's risen above the bridge and they're over it. I was just like, man, this is yeah, it wasn't I couldn't understand what I was looking at. Daniel (Pacco): How old are you? Sam: Ha ha ha. Corey: Well I was like that's a that's the bridge. And I was Daniel (Pacco): Mm. Corey: like we've been there, but I'm like, I don't I don't get what's going on here. Sam: It wasn't underwater when I was there. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Didn't they have didn't they have a whole show of like a city underwater as well, like straight after that? Or nah. Maybe. Corey: Maybe. I don't know. Sam: Yeah, it's I I d I don't remember the bridge part, but yeah, I mean that makes sense as, you know, obviously it's a pretty futuristic robot, pretty f futuristic technology, and everything's run by robots it seems. Daniel (Pacco): I was just curious how far in the future they were actually depicting it to be. I wonder if we can find the research on that, but just curious. Sam: Yeah. If this was made in twenty twenty six the robot would be it'd be like Roz by ChatGPT. I know. Daniel (Pacco): Good Lord. Sam: and then we kind of I feel like the film it's it's an interesting one how the migration I For me it almost felt like a not a natural end to the film, but it felt like it is this kind of the end of the film? And then there's kind of just more plot not say added for any reason, but these like the winter is something that I I didn't feel like was a main part of the plot initially, but all of the animals coming together and Roz kinda saving everyone I thought was a really beautiful moment of the film and they're all and and you know, and a bit f a bit goofy as well, but I just thought it was a really nice touch that showing that the you know how the just how quiet the the the the island was w during the migration season as well in that sort of the hard winter I guess. I was I really I don't know, I just I thought it was a really they could have easily just sort of migration off and then flush and then five months later and then they've coming back. Like I like that they showed kind of what was going on at the island during the same time. Corey: Yeah, I love that part. I was the same, I was sort of like, this feels like the ends, where are they gonna Sam: Mm. Corey: continue on with this? But kind of felt like, yeah, when they all the animals were together in that fire in Rose's house, it sort of felt like they were one big family and Sam: Hmm. Corey: and like especially towards the end they sort of came together as one big family to help out. So mm. Sam: Yeah. It's a really nice moment of I guess them just accepting Roz for who who Daniel (Pacco): Accepting? Yeah, yeah. Sam: she was as a robot and helping them as a po and you know, that whole thing of, you know, Are you here to kill us? No. She said no. Like it's Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, i i it it really contrasts compared to the start of the movie, you know, everyone wants her dead and then Sam: Hmm. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): just a big turnaround at this point and you Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): know, one big family or community I guess you can put it. Yeah, I thought it was nice. I thought it was nice. Sam: Hmm. Yeah. Corey: And I did love that p scene too, the montage where she's saving everyone in the snow. Sam: Mm. Corey: how there was like that sense of realism where she's like digging up a hole and then she looks at the fox and sh like shakes her head and they like cover it back up and I was like, man, that's so sad, but it was like another sense of realism as well. Daniel (Pacco): Checking out here, yeah. Sam: yeah. yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Mm. Extra. Sam: It's i guess that's the other thing, is it this this film isn't afraid to have that emotional punch, whether it like you said it or just something it it's not just like and they all were saved happily ever after. Like it yeah, it had that tangible feel of realism to it. Well obviously having a talking robot, yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, and it hits you hard and it hit yeah, and it really hits you at a random moment when you don't expect it either. So it's like, Fuck, man, this robot's got feels Sam: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and then so yeah, Roz saves ever well, most most animals and they they sort of sit in the I guess so I guess who was keep was it Ros keeping that fire going? 'Cause she was like almost out of battery at this point. I don't know how that fire was holding incredibly well. But I guess I don't know too much about movie magic. Corey: Movie magic. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Sam: So the movie can happen. But then Bright Bill returns and of course everyone so the the company that owns Roz is here to take her back because she's found all the s the signals and she's f so she sent sorry, the signal was sent off and they found her and they wanna take her back now for whatever reason. interesting that they think that the robot can be repurposed. I thought would have thought at this point it's like, yeah, let's just no you've you know, you've you've got enough scratches and dints, it's a it's a new robot time. But they thought there's some value in these robots. but it how did you what what did you think of I guess the the final battle or the final the the the Daniel (Pacco): Unless you want to jump in, Corey, you seem to have a hard start in the movie. Corey: I like I like the end in, but I sort of hate it when animals are in I don't know, I hate the the the thought of shit, an animal could die here sort of thing. And they sort of held Sam: Yeah. Yeah. Corey: it together pretty well. It was sort of only like long neck in that he sacrificed himself s for them to to get out, and all that. Sam: Yeah. Yeah. Corey: But then yeah, so there's a few elements where I'm like, shit, this could go south and I'm not gonna like it but they sort of they Sam: Get nervous, yeah. Corey: kept it kid friendly at that point, which I was happy with. Daniel (Pacco): I was actually Sam: Mm-hmm. Daniel (Pacco): surprised though they kept it that way just by all the death they showed in the film. I thought that was gonna you know, the first time watching I thought, you know, there's gonna be all this sacrifice, everything's happening, like some Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): graveheart sort of movie, but no, I d I find the whole sci fi bit at the end with the whole robots coming on the island was you know i like you said, with the winter, it was like another chapter of the story. It's like, Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): where's this turning? And then you got this whole part coming in as well. So Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): It was different. It kept it it how do I say it kept it moving, if you ask me, but it wasn't expected at the same time, yeah. Sam: Yeah. I think I think when we think about it, I guess like this is based on a novel. And I think I guess when you think about it, there are those, I guess, like chapter stories. It sounds like they really have been quite faithful. Again, without I haven't read the book myself, so I don't know how faithful it is, but It feels, yeah, very chaptery as opposed to a three act I mean th it is a three act structure in some regards, but there is definitely more almost episodic in a way of like chapters of of a book that the story is still coming to life and it still works. But it's yeah, the way there's different it's almost like a a beginning, middle and end of each of these chapters. And so you've got the almost these mini story beats inside of every part of the film. Daniel (Pacco): I was just gonna say I really liked again the art direction when they were coming up to the whole action scene. You know, the fire wasn't like orange and red, it was all purple. It just gave Sam: Hmm. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): off a whole vibe. I I just thought it was very almost psychedelic if you ask me, but Sam: Yeah, the the the the future is so real that it's it's per they've even changed the color of flames. Daniel (Pacco): Just it looked good. I it was I just I Sam: yeah. Daniel (Pacco): really I'm obsessed with the art style of this movie. Yeah. Sam: it's it's such a it's such a fantastic just just the the visual. It's so easy to look at as well. Yeah, like ooh Daniel (Pacco): Mm. I was too distracted in some points. I was just it's almost like ragged edges but not. But yeah, yeah, definitely. Sam: Mm. Yeah, it it it's like it's that paintbrush authenticity feel. Like you can s almost see where the brush ends in that when y you know, as opposed to it being digitally smooth. Daniel (Pacco): You sound like a true, a bit of a connoisseur over here. Sam: mate, I can do a good stick figure and that's about it. And so they they kind of th th the battle ends, they or they they go to the the spaceship and the battle ends and they they beat the robot through all odds and they do a few crazy things and get lucky with a few things and the bear is like the Hulk basically and comes through and just like destroys them all. That's a lot of fun. but then I I feel like this sort of t what's called a twist ending, I guess, where Roz is just like she's sort of threatened just before the robot kinda, you know, it's like, we will always come for you and I think that really you see, obviously I think it this almost it shows Roz's intelligence, not just not just intelligence in terms of pure brain power, but emotional intelligence to be like I care about these pe or the these these animals so much that logically me staying here is actually making them putting them in danger, so I need to leave. And it's yeah, show whereas before if the you know, if the task was stay on the island, rather like, well stay on the island, but she's making emotional, rational decisions for herself and for for the benefit of others or the benefit for herself, which I think was just th that it's a a fascinating way of do of of a robot kind of getting this sentience of of of being, which I thought was fascinating. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Mm. It it was almost like it was the ultimate sacrifice she can do just to complete her mission, if you ask me. Yeah. Sam: Yeah. I mmm. I I like that it wasn't like it was an off short sacrifice, but it wasn't like the I'm gonna die to the robots then. It was just like, well, I'm just gonna go home and you guys stay here. Like it was almost like a very anticlimactic leave in a way. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. No, but it's like she doesn't want to fear them in a way. It's almost like I'm Sam: Hmm. Daniel (Pacco): gonna get my whole memory possibly wiped, I'm gonna forget all of you. I don't know, what's better, that or death? Sam: Yeah. The one yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But how d how did you guys feel about the end or core or how did you any any thoughts on the on the ending and I guess the the final the final sacrifice I guess? Corey: it I did tear up right at the end when the last word or sentence that they said. Sam: Yeah. Corey: but like I don't know Pomy was sort of like it was addressed by the bunny or the baby possum or something where she's like I'm gonna go back home or back to the robot place and Sam: Mm. Corey: one of the animals is like but we just risked our lives to keep you here and she's like Yeah Sam: Yeah. People died, man. Yeah. Corey: But yeah, was sort of yeah, for the greater good because they're they're Sam: Mm. Corey: always gonna keep coming back for her. So to save Sam: Yeah. Corey: I guess her family, which is the I like to say it's like their their one big family or the animals on the island, but yeah, to keep them all Sam: Yeah. One big happy family. Corey: alive and happy, yeah, she has to sacrifice herself and and go off. but Sam: Yeah. Corey: she's you know, the duck, can't remember his name, but he's always in her heart, so that was nice. Daniel (Pacco): Well, he pretty much replaced her heart in one scene, didn't she take her heart out and replace her with a goose? Sam: When Yeah. I I was a little confused Corey: Yeah. Sam: at the end of when she so so maybe we'll jump back a bit, but I was a little confused at the jumping out of the spaceship and rips out what felt like a crucial piece of software or hardware Daniel (Pacco): Hardly. Sam: And they're like, but you know, you need that to live. It's like, I have love Which I get. But she is at it at its core a robotic being that requires circuits and microchips. And removing it's like us pulling out a piece of our brain, being like, It's okay, I have love. Like, mate, you still need your brain. Daniel (Pacco): Now look, she's just gonna reboot with a whole new goose operating system. Corey: Yeah. Sam: well that that makes much more sense then. Plug in the goose. Daniel (Pacco): Hawk. Sam: and I guess that that final that final kind of reunion and then that she remembers Roz remembers Bright Bill. I I felt like it it even though it's like a sad ending to a movie, it just you feel warm about it. She's like, well it's gonna be okay. Like they remember each other. She remembers him. It's okay. You just have that like sense of relief and you sort of it it's that you know leaving the you whether you're leaving the cinema or you're you're t just watching the credits at home, like it's a I feel good about this now. That they're all good. That everyone's gonna be okay. Did you guys feel that? Daniel (Pacco): I yeah, I saw it like that, but I mean when it clearly shows that her memories well they don't show that her memories are, but you get the impression that it is or such. But it kind of makes you wonder, does the robot have a soul in the end? does it kinda bring up that subject? Because there Sam: Hmm. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): there is that connection in that's just how I saw it. Sam: Yeah, I guess it it's yeah. I like you say are are they just a bunch of microchips or can a can a electronic being have a soul exactly? You know, we don't know how Daniel (Pacco): If there's something deeper. Hmm. Yeah. Sam: you said in the future, like what what have they d what is inside of a said robot that could be could make them a being? The goose was Daniel (Pacco): The goose was in, yeah. Goose What about you, Corey? Corey: Goose hot. Daniel (Pacco): What do you think of that ending? Corey: I loved it. I can't remember the exact line that was said but w it basically she said something as though it's like, yeah, she remembers Bright Bill and all that. So it was very heartwarming. But yeah, in the s same sense that like even though they've gone in their separate directions, you still sort of feel good that like, you know, the memory's still there and I guess the love if a she can love, she loves. Sam: The love will always be there. I just got a message from Teigan popping up 'cause she can hear it from the other room and she's like, just hearing you talk about this movie I'm tearing up and said you that's a bit rude. I can't say that Teigan She was not a Well, she Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, you know you can. Sam: said just listening about the film makes me sad, you dead fucking robot. Corey: No. Sam: Very kind of her. She's well, okay, I didn't cry, but I still felt Daniel (Pacco): man Sam: emotion for this. And apparently if I even if I am a robot, I Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Sam: can still feel have feelings, so that's okay. Daniel (Pacco): Geez. How did Tegar cope with this? Was she just bowling her eyes out next to you or? Sam: I believe so she was, yes. Although she kept it pretty discreet 'cause she w we're talking about the next night and I was like, yeah, like I didn't cry. She's like, What the fuck is wrong with you? and she's like, I was bawling my eyes out but I didn't realise she kept it really low key, so Daniel (Pacco): You didn't check to look over like this might be a touchy scene, you're fucked, you know, something like that. Sam: I'm just so full of myself I didn't notice. Corey: Of rooms. Sam: Yeah. Separate rooms, no. Yeah. Okay. Well so Tegan's job, she sees a lot of films and so she sees a lot of sad films as well sometimes. And so sh in her words, she learns how to cry discreetly so no one knows. So that's that and then that's probably all we'll blame that and not my ignorance is bliss for me. Daniel (Pacco): Well, I I I don't know who's more of a robot then. I mean if you can control it Sam: I I do get I c I do cry in films, but I I find it's a very specific sadness. Like I I don't happy cry often. Like there's not like it was beautiful, but I didn't I don't cry because I'm happy. I'll cry 'cause I'm sad. sounds like a child. I'll cry 'cause I'm sad. But I Daniel (Pacco): lola. Sam: f I find like animal cruelty is one that like really hits me. Like it's made me cry. or young kids. like Bridge to Terabithia, have you guys seen that film? That Daniel (Pacco): Say I have Sam: emotionally wrecked me. I was I don't know, maybe I was like twelve, thirteen years old and we are watching it on like a little D V D player in our car driving home from some camping trip and I'm watching it and I am like blubbering my eyes out in the back of the car. I'm like, my parents don't see this. It is just genuinely one of the sa I'm I I still yeah. It's Daniel (Pacco): You sissy. Sam: maybe we'll cover it on here because that just emotionally smacked me in the face. Daniel (Pacco): well I I I don't know what caused me to get emotional over this movie. I just remember my tears all coming out Fuck the hell is wrong with me? No Yeah. Well that's what I mean. It's like, no, it's happening again Sam: Some days okay. It's what is this liquid coming out of my eyes? This is so gross. Daniel (Pacco): What about you, Corey? Any response from you or the miss or? Corey: Yeah, it sort of teared up right at the end. yeah, and Anita was crying at the end as well. She was she was pretty upset. Sam: Yeah. It's a tough one. And then you walked in, you're like, anyway, I'm gonna record the podcast of the boys. Have a good night. Daniel (Pacco): You're on your own. Sam: Yeah. There there, honey. Yeah. This Corey: That's why I a bit late. It wasn't microphone troubles, it was life troubles, nah. Sam: podcast is just becoming you guys haven't in this air either something something's wrong with the marriages, guys. What's going on here? Show me how great husbands you are. Yeah. It always comes back to something wrong with the marriage. Daniel (Pacco): Is Isn't this why we started? It was started off already or not and all that shit. Jesus. Sam: God. but Daniel (Pacco): That's gold. Sam: well let's yeah, so I have some trivia for this for this for this movie because I thought you or not sure I mean I thought you guys were interested in. So this film is directed by Chris Sanders. Have you guys heard of him or did you did you any idea on the the behind the scenes of this at all? Yeah. So so Daniel (Pacco): I watched only a little bit, but yeah, not so much. Sam: There I think, you know, we've talked about how great this is, like emotionally, and it's a great story and it's visually amazing. And I think when you look at the you look at this guy's previous film, so he's only directed a couple of films, mostly animated films, but the the main ones that he's directed, so he directed the original Lilo and Stitch. Like the the the not Daniel (Pacco): okay. Sam: not the remake. he did the original How to Train Your Dragon. And he also did the crudes. But here's the Daniel (Pacco): wow. Yeah. Sam: fun one. He not only directed Lelo and Stitch, the original animated one, he voices Stitch. And he has continued to voice Stitch in every T V series, every little pe one off piece. And he even did the whole film of the new Lelo and Stitch remake that came out very recently. So he Daniel (Pacco): Wow. Sam: is essentially Stitch. but yeah, so he's got a real breadth of of of a real scope of it in his filmography of films that he's directed. So like it's just in terms of just great films. Like it's all I don't know if you've seen all all all all those other ones, but you know, I mean Lilo and Stitch is just an emotional, amazing film, like Disney modern Disney classic. The Crudes is I would say is an underrated I don't know if you guys have seen that one, but just an under yeah, it's a a very like simple Daniel (Pacco): I love it. I love the crades, man. Sam: but underrated and fun film. and Daniel (Pacco): Dark family Sam: there's and then it's how to train your dragon. Daniel (Pacco): humor. Yeah. Sam: Now I'm sure I don't have to sell you on how to train your dragon. I know Paco you're a big fan, right? Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): love it, mate. Sam: I have a confession to make. I have only recently seen the remake and I see only how to train your dragon that I have seen. And I realize I am a bad person for that. Daniel (Pacco): Holy shit you so you're telling me you haven't seen one, two or three. my god, mate. Y Sam: No, no. It just it I must have just hit it at the wrong time for me in terms of I I probably jumped out of animated films for for a little bit. Like there are a couple of sprinkled in here, but it just wasn't at the right maybe just a little bit out of the age that it was in for me. So I've yeah, a little bit on that. But I did watch the the new one and I really enjoyed it and I I think and Tigan, you know, j and just talking to Teigan as the through the film, she's seen them all and she's just raves about them and she sort of says, you know, how it kinda builds on with all these things. So I can see how such an amazing film it would be and and the story and the lore. So I'm aware that I'm the weirdo here that hasn't seen it. Daniel (Pacco): Do yourself a favor and watch the three originals, man. I swear. Sam: I I think I w I think I will. I think I will. 'Cause I I enjoyed the live action but I wasn't like that was the greatest thing of all time, but I can the the problems that I probably had with it probably were very easily would have been easily s fixed in the in the animated films I'm sure. Daniel (Pacco): Just while we're on that subject, Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): that live action, How to Train Your Dragons, probably the only good live action movie that's been done in the last, let's say, ten years. Like you've seen all Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): the Disney live action movies. Hey shit. Like come on, like who like they all suck. Sam: Yeah, I I not a not a huge fan. I haven't seen all of them, but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of them. I think there's just it just I feel mostly unnecessary. I enjoy parts of them. I enjoy the nostalgia that hits them. And I actually quite enjoy the new Lelo and Stitch, although I have problems with that one still. But yeah, I know what you mean. It's it's just it it does feel like it's just rehashing a bit too much without anything new. Daniel (Pacco): Just a click yeah, just a money grab really, yeah. Milking it. Yeah. But no, Corey: A cash grab. Yeah. Sam: Yeah. Well, yeah. All about the money. Daniel (Pacco): you watch the original How to Drain the Dragon and you see how accurate is to the original, I swear. Sam: Mm. I'm pretty sure so I'm pretty sure the original How to Train Your Dragon had two main directors, so Chris Sanders and I think his name is Dean De Boyce, I could be wrong. I d don't quite remember the exact one. I do know that. and so the original so not Chris Sanders, but the other other guy. was the one that originally did sorry, that made the new so the same director that made the new the remake as well. So I guess it's ha it'll still has that that element and flavor of those the originals that made them so successful. Corey: Live action, like I watched it on a plane, and it honestly felt like it was exactly like the animation, just live action. Like yeah. Thought it was pretty good. Sam: Hm. Daniel (Pacco): Exactly. Like the characters and Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): everything, even the voice actors were very it was so close. Yeah. Sam: Yeah. Corey: Yeah. Yeah, their casting was like spot on as well. 'Cause I was like, how's Sam: Yeah. Corey: that person gonna act as this animated character? And then I'm like, that a you know, yeah, it actually worked really well. Sam: It just works. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, and they did it. They did it well. Yeah. Sam: What did we or is there anything else we want to add? I feel like we've chatted about a lot of things. I know Pacco's kinda usual questions we've we I think we've answered mostly, but is there anything else you guys wanted to chuck on there? Daniel (Pacco): Well, was there anything you guys didn't like about the movie? Corey: We don't like the humans. Like, they weren't even in it. But like, Sam: Yeah. Corey: when the birds fly into that crop area and the robots are like, contamination, and then like the humans like, you gotta get rid of it and I don't know, it just felt like humans always just killing nature, killing animals, and even though it's so futuristic you thought they would have been able to prevent it by the robots, you know, getting the animals out in a Sam: That would require the human race having some sort of emotional change in their lifestyle. Never gonna happen. Corey: Yeah, in yeah, I don't know. I don't like the humans. That's what I didn't like. Daniel (Pacco): Were you Sam anything in mind or Sam: There's nothing that I was I I mean, I again I I could nitpick anything because I can be a film wanker if I need to be, but Daniel (Pacco): Mm-hmm. Sam: I do feel like this was just a good, feel good film that I felt like it i it's like a warm hug of a film. Honestly. It just it feel it makes you feel happy. There's a great story behind it. I didn't feel like And and and there is a roller coaster of emotions in terms of, you know, you laugh, you cry, you have your you know, it it it but it makes you th and it and it has an i a nice overarching message towards the end that you think about. Like the fact that I could you know, a couple of days later think about a film and and be like, Hmm, the the way this was framed, maybe it's something different here. I think there is yeah, it it's a i it's a really great film and I don't I don't have any like I'm not yeah. There's no nitpicky like, this was terrible bit. There was some couple of, you know, things that maybe nothing didn't land, so to speak. I think it all, you know, was really cohesive and just a great film. Daniel (Pacco): Hm. Yeah, agree. Well, if we had Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): the nitpick at all, I think maybe the ten minutes of that's just me going, Where's this film leading? But you know, running around frantically. Sam: Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): I just thought that went a little long, but I mean it gets you the idea in the characters on the island what's to come. Sam: Yeah. I I guess Yeah. My take on that was more that it's it's shows where Roz started from versus where she f initi finishes up out in terms of that she was essentially just looking for a purpose. There is no there's no you know, for her that you know, it it's like a a robot without a purpose. What do they find eventually? And they eventually find a purpose and so I thought it was a really good base to start with. But yeah. But yes. Daniel (Pacco): Yeah. Again I'm nitpicking, but I I I really don't have anything to nitpick about this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah. Sam: Yeah, it yeah, you're c we're clutching clutching at straws, as they say. Yeah. So what was what was the ratings here? What did that sit at? I give it a four out of five. There we go. That's Daniel (Pacco): Yeah, four point five for me. Corey: out of five, so an eight. Yep, all right. Nice. Sam: It's a Letterboxd Corey. You've got a you've got to go out of five. Gotta gotta kid. Corey: okay, hang on, I've got a Daniel (Pacco): Did did you not read the Google Docs, damn it? Sam: He's thinking What? Daniel (Pacco): look, he's thinking. Sam: He's gonna say something. Corey: Well no no well I said six point five out of ten, but it's either a three or a three and a half. Daniel (Pacco): He's three and a half. Corey: It's either a six or a seven. Daniel (Pacco): don't you dare. Don't you dare. Corey: I guess I'd give it a seven, so a a three. No, three and a half, yeah. Three and a half. Yeah. Sam: Three and a half? Three and a half. Okay. Yeah. It's you know. Corey: Like it's a good movie, I liked it. there was a lot of like really nice good realistic meanings, but it it and it hits hard, but it was pretty intense Sam: Yeah. Corey: and it's probably not a movie I'd wanna watch again, 'cause I don't know, to me it Sam: really? Corey: there was a quite a lot of sad elements. Sam: Interesting. See in my in my head I was like, Well I can't wait till Sierra's old enough that we could watch I mean, there's plenty of movies for us to watch because I've got a bloody long list of them, but I this will definitely be rewatched again. Well say you know, yeah. We'll say fairly soon, but a at a certain point. Daniel (Pacco): I can imagine that. Mum, why are you crying? Because your dad's a robot. Sam: Mm. It's it's also like worth worth noting that I believe a sequel is in the works for this one as well called The Wild Robot Escapes. So Daniel (Pacco): Well, there was a book there were books that went after that. I I yeah, yeah, I Sam: Yeah, it's a trilogy. So there's the wild robot, the wild robot escapes and then the wild robot protects. So if in theory it should do well enough that they can make all three. 'Cause I think, you know, hopefully we can have more emotional punches in the face. Daniel (Pacco): gee, you know what's gonna happen. Corey: When did it come out? Daniel (Pacco): twenty four, I believe. Twenty twenty-four. Yeah. Corey: Well the sequel should be in production now, shouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah, okay. God, they take Sam: Yeah. Yeah, I think I think it's slated for twenty eight. I could be wrong, but yeah. I think it look Corey: so long to get movies out these days. Like, you know, back Sam: mate, they don't Corey: in the day Lord of the Rings was, you know, year after i e each other. Sam: I mean, Lord of the Rings was shot back to back to back, like all in one in one block, but yes. With all with all film trilogies. Commit to Corey: I know, but they should just do that with all movies these days, you know. Yeah. Daniel (Pacco): Thing, Sam: complete trilogies and shoot them all at once. Sometimes they do. Corey: Yeah. Sam: Wicked was shot back to back and they did the part one and part two. But you know, they they do it happens a lot. Yeah. the Wicked's. Yeah, well we may we maybe Corey: Never seen that, but mm. Yeah, haven't seen Sam: we put it on I'd never seen the stage play and I watched the first one and I really loved it. I thought it was a really great film. With the caveat of I am really against like part ones at the moment, just because I just f I feel it frustrating to be like part one and you have to wait like a year or two or three, whatever it is for the part two. so I was like, like I liked it. I just felt a little bit let down by not really having a conclusion to the film. but then I just hated this the set the part two. So I mean, yeah, it's sort of a it was a real let down. So It it it can be yeah, but the first one fantastic if they just ended it correctly it would be fine. But yeah, well I think we are at the end of the wild robot, so now it's time to move on to the next movie, of course, to find out what else we're watching. Now I believe it's a good large Corey over here's turn to pick a film. Corey: we're gonna go yep, all right. Snow dogs. Daniel (Pacco): shit. That's a blast on the back. Jeez. Sam: Snowdogs. I think I watched that with my Corey: Yeah. Sam: with my little sister one point in my life. Snowdogs. Alright. Give us a Daniel (Pacco): No dogs, I've gotta look this one up. Corey: Yeah, it's it's an old one, but it it's got that guy who was in Rat Race that we just watched. Yeah. yep, yep. And and yeah, Daniel (Pacco): Sorry. Sam: Cuba Coodting Cuba Goodding Jr. this'll be fun. Corey: going off the the animal trends from wild robots, so sort of yeah. And it's light hearted, it's not sad. Sam: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, go we're really going in the light hearted direction. We need something more terrifying and horrifying again, right? Yeah, snow dogs. God. Daniel (Pacco): No. I feel like there'll be a trend now. We're all gonna choose kids movies. What's next? Doctor Doodle Tool? Sam: That's a classic. this'll be fun. All right, all right. Snowdogs Corey: huh. Sam: 2002. Get ready for mush hour. Can't wait for that one. Daniel (Pacco): Cured. Sam: All right. Well, thank you as always for joining us, everyone. And we hope you have a great week. We will see you next week to chat snowdogs. Catch ya guys. Daniel (Pacco): See you next Tuesday. Corey: Woof woof.
