0:00
Speaker 1: This is this is my worst nightmare at a bar,
0:02
Speaker 1: somebody pitching me an animated TV show or a movie,
0:05
Speaker 1: and what is Joe doing that? Exactly on this podcast.
0:11
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to May the Review be with You
0:14
Speaker 2: with Nick and I'm Joe. I'm Nick, and today is
0:18
Speaker 2: the second episode of put It on Your List game
0:22
Speaker 2: that Nick and I have adapted from real life when
0:25
Speaker 2: you encounter people who force you into a conversation about
0:28
Speaker 2: that show or movie that you just have to watch today.
0:32
Speaker 2: We're going to force each other to put something a
0:35
Speaker 2: show or a movie on our list. So, of course
0:39
Speaker 2: one of us will approach the other with whatever it
0:41
Speaker 2: is that we insist that the other one will watch.
0:43
Speaker 2: We'll get a we'll get a quick pitch on how
0:45
Speaker 2: to do that, and then we'll get to ask each
0:46
Speaker 2: other some questions about whether or not this is actually
0:49
Speaker 2: worth our time to put this on our list. But
0:52
Speaker 2: before we get into all of that, Nick, how are
0:54
Speaker 2: you doing today? Great?
0:56
Speaker 1: Excited? I love these These are some of my favorite
0:59
Speaker 1: episodes we do because you're always Joe's always pitching something crazy.
1:04
Speaker 1: Joe's always got something crazy.
1:05
Speaker 2: It's like it's the ADHD ideas. Man, It's like a
1:09
Speaker 2: compare belt. Does he follow through on any of them.
1:11
Speaker 2: That's why Nick is here to make sure that he
1:12
Speaker 2: commits to it least some of them. Thank you for that, Mick.
1:19
Speaker 2: But before we get into put it on your list,
1:22
Speaker 2: let's go into the news of this week coming out
1:25
Speaker 2: of TV and film. First up on the docket, we
1:29
Speaker 2: want to address really some sad news from the earlier
1:32
Speaker 2: this week film Icon and thespian Maggie Smith passed away.
1:38
Speaker 2: Really really terrible to hear that. Mag Smith probably most
1:41
Speaker 2: notable from her role of bringing Professor Minerva McGonagall to
1:45
Speaker 2: life on screen throughout the Harry Potter franchise. Nick, I
1:50
Speaker 2: know you caught that news. I think you caught that
1:53
Speaker 2: news actually earlier than I did. How you know, how
1:56
Speaker 2: were you feeling once you found out?
1:58
Speaker 1: Super bummed, super sad. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan,
2:02
Speaker 1: so that's a tough one for everybody, But so it goes.
2:08
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, so it goes, and you know, as the truth
2:11
Speaker 2: that's being would say that the show must go on.
2:15
Speaker 2: Someone earlier this week, when when that news came out,
2:19
Speaker 2: I was talking to I think put it best. She
2:21
Speaker 2: was everyone's grandma while the Harry Potter franchise was coming out,
2:24
Speaker 2: and I think that's a really sweet way to put that.
2:28
Speaker 2: If you haven't caught up on either Daniel Ratcliffe's or
2:32
Speaker 2: Emma Watson's eulogies of her, be sure to look those
2:36
Speaker 2: up there. They're really sweet, really amazing send off, and
2:40
Speaker 2: just wand's up for Maggie Smith, a true film icon.
2:45
Speaker 2: As the show goes on looking at other film news
2:48
Speaker 2: from this week, let's talk about the James Gun universe,
2:51
Speaker 2: because there was some big headlines coming out. The last
2:54
Speaker 2: time we did this episode of Put It on Your List,
2:57
Speaker 2: we actually talked about Lanterns, and we have some news
3:00
Speaker 2: on Lanterns. We were speculating about who was gonna get
3:03
Speaker 2: the job of Hal Jordan, and we have an answer.
3:06
Speaker 2: It's Kyle Chandler. Kyle Chandler is Hal Jordan, the guy
3:10
Speaker 2: from Friday Night Lights. It's him. He's gonna he's gonna
3:13
Speaker 2: John he's gonna don the jumpsuit and he's gonna jump
3:16
Speaker 2: in a jet. He's gonna wear the ring. Nick how
3:19
Speaker 2: we feeling.
3:20
Speaker 1: I have no idea where they're going with this. It's
3:22
Speaker 1: like totally shocking to me. Like Kyle Chandler is like awesome,
3:25
Speaker 1: he's been He's played some really fun, like cool roles
3:27
Speaker 1: like of course coaching Friday Night Lights, Like that's pretty
3:30
Speaker 1: a pretty u iconic thing, right. It seems so strange
3:34
Speaker 1: to me because he's you know, he's like fifty nine
3:36
Speaker 1: years old, So like, are we getting like an older
3:38
Speaker 1: Hal Jordan than I guess, like storyline like that must
3:41
Speaker 1: be where they're going unless they're gonna SEEGI make him younger.
3:44
Speaker 1: I don't know why they would do that, But DC's
3:48
Speaker 1: done plenty of things that I don't know why they did.
3:50
Speaker 2: Recently, know in the last ten years. So who knows.
3:54
Speaker 1: Benefit of the doubt working here because it's James Guns
3:56
Speaker 1: universe now, so we'll see, uh, we'll see how goes.
4:00
Speaker 2: It is a weird choice, I mean as far as
4:03
Speaker 2: like trying to bring stardom to the role, it's a
4:05
Speaker 2: weird choice because, like I mean, we keep bringing you up.
4:08
Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights easily the most iconic thing that he
4:11
Speaker 2: has on his resume. Maybe it's not your favorite thing
4:14
Speaker 2: that you've seen him in. If if you have a
4:16
Speaker 2: movie or a TV show that you absolutely loved him
4:19
Speaker 2: in that we haven't named super eight would probably be
4:21
Speaker 2: the first thing that I think of, but I wouldn't
4:23
Speaker 2: say he was a major role in that. Tell Us,
4:25
Speaker 2: tell us what it is, because like this is kind
4:27
Speaker 2: of a mystery to me, Like, again it what what
4:31
Speaker 2: was that late nineties early two thousands Friday Night Lights?
4:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's two thousands.
4:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels it feels like we're very far removed
4:39
Speaker 2: from like the peak of his stardom and like his
4:42
Speaker 2: ability to like bring in a crowd.
4:44
Speaker 1: Well he also Yeah, the crowd thing's a good point.
4:46
Speaker 1: He was also the FBI agent though on Wolf of
4:48
Speaker 1: wall Street, which is an awesome role.
4:49
Speaker 2: So that is true, that's fun. If you were going
4:53
Speaker 2: to the Wolf of wall Street for k Kyle Kyle
4:56
Speaker 2: Chandler's character, please let us know and why. I really
5:00
Speaker 2: would love to know why.
5:02
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
5:04
Speaker 2: The only speculation I have on this nick as to
5:07
Speaker 2: why they're doing this a like it you know, he's
5:10
Speaker 2: he's a seasoned actor, right, But I think he brought
5:14
Speaker 2: up a really great point. They purposely want to go
5:16
Speaker 2: with like an older hell Jordan, and I think the
5:20
Speaker 2: reason for it is so we know that this show
5:24
Speaker 2: is supposed to be like a true detective sort of show, right,
5:28
Speaker 2: And they even have a true detective writer on it.
5:32
Speaker 2: They have Tom King who's a Batman comic book writer,
5:35
Speaker 2: and then Damian Limbloff who is the Lost writer. So
5:38
Speaker 2: like they clearly want to create a mystique or mysterious
5:43
Speaker 2: like type of show. And I think if if hal
5:45
Speaker 2: Jordan is just starting out as a Green Lantern, maybe
5:49
Speaker 2: he can bring like his military experience, like you know,
5:52
Speaker 2: he has his season he's a season military detective, right,
5:56
Speaker 2: or something like being a jet pilot or something, or
5:59
Speaker 2: he a seasoned Green Lantern, right, It's one of those
6:03
Speaker 2: two things. That's what they're trying to do here. Either way,
6:06
Speaker 2: I'm surprisingly more excited for this show than I thought
6:09
Speaker 2: I would be. We got one other bit of news
6:12
Speaker 2: that came out of that from that announcement, we found
6:15
Speaker 2: out that they are trying to cast John Jones, who
6:18
Speaker 2: is the second Green Lantern to show up in the franchise.
6:22
Speaker 2: And we actually have two names that are coming out
6:25
Speaker 2: of this, Aaron Pierre and Stefan James. Aaron Pierre getting
6:29
Speaker 2: a lot of notoriety right now for Rebel Ridge, which
6:32
Speaker 2: I have not seen that yet, but apparently I have to.
6:35
Speaker 2: Apparently I have to put that on my list, is
6:38
Speaker 2: what I'm learning. Mufasa is coming out later this year.
6:41
Speaker 2: He's playing Young Mufasa. That wasn't a movie I was
6:45
Speaker 2: really planning on watching, but that's really awesome that he's
6:49
Speaker 2: the star of that. Steffan James beal Street could talk
6:54
Speaker 2: Selma Clue. The TV show he's got actually surprisingly like.
6:59
Speaker 2: I feel like he's been a actor with a surprisingly
7:02
Speaker 2: like well studded resume. So I'm not sure who I
7:08
Speaker 2: preferred to see here, but if the tides of crowd
7:12
Speaker 2: power are bringing anyone around I feel like it might
7:15
Speaker 2: be Aaron Pierre right now, because apparently he's really hot
7:18
Speaker 2: in Hollywood. Right now. We'll see, We'll see last thing,
7:22
Speaker 2: at least for DC stuff. There was a short little
7:24
Speaker 2: announcement about DC Villains, some kind of DC Villains project
7:29
Speaker 2: that James Gunn is designing with two characters that they're
7:33
Speaker 2: trying to cast right now, death Stroke and Bain being
7:36
Speaker 2: part of this project. Not sure what they're going for here,
7:39
Speaker 2: Not sure if this is supposed to be like a
7:40
Speaker 2: suicide squad thing or just like, truthfully, I don't know,
7:46
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're going for here we shall see.
7:49
Speaker 2: I was born in it, molded by it. I've always
7:54
Speaker 2: really loved death Stroke, and yeah, more media love for
7:59
Speaker 2: death Stroke. That is great. And I guess to segue
8:04
Speaker 2: actually into our next headline perfectly, the Marvel equivalent of
8:08
Speaker 2: death Stroke Nick.
8:10
Speaker 1: Deadpool, Deadpool and Wolverine. Deadpool and Wolverine streaming October first.
8:15
Speaker 1: Just catch me watching that repeatedly for about three weeks
8:18
Speaker 1: and nothing else, So look out for that.
8:20
Speaker 2: And I've been waiting to hear this news for a
8:23
Speaker 2: lot time. I haven't had time to go to the
8:25
Speaker 2: movie theater to watch this again, but I didn't want
8:27
Speaker 2: to watch this again.
8:28
Speaker 1: I know, I can't wait. It's gonna be glorious. And
8:31
Speaker 1: to segue to the world of dinosaurs, Jurassic World Rebirth what, yeah,
8:41
Speaker 1: I know, Jurassic World Rebirth has wrapped filming. That's coming
8:45
Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty five. More Jurassic Park stuff. We
8:50
Speaker 1: love those stories. The I think the previous trilogy probably
8:56
Speaker 1: ended slightly flat, but we'll see what happens here with
8:59
Speaker 1: the Rebirth, which you know is I guess not a
9:01
Speaker 1: working title, so uh anyway, Scarlet Johanes is in it,
9:05
Speaker 1: so it should be hopefully good.
9:08
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I actually, I mean, we love
9:09
Speaker 2: Scarlett Johans.
9:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scario, Scario.
9:12
Speaker 2: Who doesn't love Scargio.
9:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it, so we'll see.
9:15
Speaker 2: I'm unfortunately gonna watch it. Nick I I don't like
9:20
Speaker 2: Jurassic The Jurassic franchise is one of those franchises that, like,
9:24
Speaker 2: I don't think is good. I actually think it sucks,
9:28
Speaker 2: and it will always pull me in because Jurassic Park
9:32
Speaker 2: remains like a one of my favorite movies and then
9:35
Speaker 2: B like my favorite book of all time, so like
9:38
Speaker 2: they kind of have me forever unfortunately.
9:40
Speaker 1: Right, there's something about like the first movies in those
9:45
Speaker 1: two trilogies, now, like the first ones are really good,
9:48
Speaker 1: like they're awesome, and then it just like tails off
9:52
Speaker 1: as they continue the storyline. You know, it's uh, well,
9:57
Speaker 1: actually I don't know if that's true. The original trilogy,
9:59
Speaker 1: the second one bad, but the third one it kind
10:02
Speaker 1: of picks back up a little bit.
10:04
Speaker 2: I don't thank you, thank you you, and I are
10:06
Speaker 2: in the minority on this. Apparently a lot of people
10:09
Speaker 2: don't like the third movie, and maybe I'm just comparing, like,
10:13
Speaker 2: you know, recycle recycling, bin to Hot Garbage with three
10:18
Speaker 2: and two, But I like the third movie. Just give
10:22
Speaker 2: me Alan Grant any day.
10:23
Speaker 1: You know, the third movie is way better than the
10:25
Speaker 1: second one. The second one is hot, hot, hot, hot
10:27
Speaker 1: garbage hot at garbage. God, it's bad anyway.
10:33
Speaker 2: I don't mind Dress World. Dressic World is at least
10:36
Speaker 2: very fun. I have my problems with it, but it like.
10:39
Speaker 2: It's a fun movie. It's a good popcorn go to
10:42
Speaker 2: the movie theater film two and three. Holy crap, isn't
10:50
Speaker 2: that what a that's what? Oh my god, Jeff goldblueb
10:54
Speaker 2: you what does he say like when they're they're in
10:57
Speaker 2: the trice eratops, pooh, that is pile of shit. That's
11:00
Speaker 2: what fallen Kingdom and whatever. The third one is Dominion.
11:08
Speaker 2: Best part of Dominion was having the original three characters
11:11
Speaker 2: back together. That was that was fun.
11:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was nice.
11:14
Speaker 2: They got the nostalgia feels out of me. There, well played.
11:18
Speaker 2: But for now, to close out our our movie headlines,
11:21
Speaker 2: we would be remiss in not bringing up the fact
11:25
Speaker 2: that Francis Ford Coppola's project forty years in the making, Megalopolis. Megalopolis,
11:32
Speaker 2: I can't even.
11:32
Speaker 1: Say it, metal Akolips.
11:38
Speaker 2: That's a good show. Megalopolis has premiered this week to
11:45
Speaker 2: less than stellar reviews.
11:48
Speaker 1: See, I didn't know. I didn't even know what came out.
11:50
Speaker 1: I had no idea it was in theater.
11:54
Speaker 2: Well that's I really haven't heard a lot of people
11:58
Speaker 2: talking about it, which is, you know, it's funny. Actually
12:02
Speaker 2: I heard more people talking about the viral campaign from
12:06
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago when I forgot who was
12:10
Speaker 2: bringing out the advertisement. But like they were, it almost
12:14
Speaker 2: seems like they were purposely trying to get ahead of
12:17
Speaker 2: the bad reviews on this movie because they were bringing
12:20
Speaker 2: up like his other projects. They were like all the
12:22
Speaker 2: reviews on The Godfather said it was terrible, all the
12:25
Speaker 2: reviews on Apocalypse Now said it was garbage. But those
12:29
Speaker 2: are film classics that you hold dearly to this day.
12:32
Speaker 2: And like everyone packed this campaign and they were like,
12:35
Speaker 2: nobody said that, nobody said that about those films.
12:38
Speaker 1: You're lying, well, that's probably one. We'll just wait till
12:43
Speaker 1: it comes out on streaming, I guess based on how
12:46
Speaker 1: that's gone.
12:47
Speaker 2: So hey, I will say this, I've heard, just just
12:51
Speaker 2: very briefly from two reviews that Aubrey Plaza apparently is
12:54
Speaker 2: like just awesome in this movie, which that's not really
12:57
Speaker 2: that surprising because she's awesome and everything. Yeah, but yeah,
13:01
Speaker 2: apparently we get to see a little bit more of
13:03
Speaker 2: her acting chops other than what she's you know, mostly
13:06
Speaker 2: known for probably parks and rec as far as you know,
13:11
Speaker 2: that character goes right April. But yeah, so I don't know.
13:17
Speaker 2: Best of luck to France, Bordavla and and and the film.
13:21
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they were right, maybe maybe the film reviews
13:25
Speaker 2: are unfair. Will be the judge of that when we
13:29
Speaker 2: get to it. But for now, I think it is
13:32
Speaker 2: time we get to the nuts and bolts of today's episode.
13:37
Speaker 2: Put it on your list. So, as we discussed last
13:43
Speaker 2: time or earlier in this podcast, Nick and I are
13:46
Speaker 2: going to take some take turns on pitching a show
13:49
Speaker 2: or a movie to each other. On the docket for
13:53
Speaker 2: today we have we have Over the Garden Wall and
13:57
Speaker 2: Kate and Leopold. So last time, when we were trying
14:02
Speaker 2: to figure out who was going to go first, Nick
14:04
Speaker 2: just asserted himself forward and decided that.
14:08
Speaker 1: He should pitch. Well, that happened because I am going first, sir.
14:15
Speaker 1: Here we go.
14:16
Speaker 2: It is there, it is. I offered you an olive branch.
14:21
Speaker 1: Here until you bring it, until you bring a coin
14:24
Speaker 1: to flip, I will be going first, sir.
14:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you know what. Good good, good job,
14:33
Speaker 2: good job. You know I deserve that. I deserve that. Yeah,
14:38
Speaker 2: I will today. Will I don't know does a does
14:41
Speaker 2: a poker chip count? I don't even know why I
14:43
Speaker 2: have this. I have a poker chip. I don't play poker.
14:46
Speaker 1: Well it doesn't and it won't today.
14:48
Speaker 2: So here we got the same didn't even work.
14:51
Speaker 1: Two face die you know, take a little uh, just
14:54
Speaker 1: cross out one side with a pen. Okay, So without
15:00
Speaker 1: other ado, it's my.
15:01
Speaker 2: Turn, pitch me your show war movie.
15:04
Speaker 1: I today am pitching the movie called Kate and Leopold.
15:08
Speaker 1: This is the Hugh Jackman movie that you and your
15:12
Speaker 1: friends have not seen, came out in I believe two
15:16
Speaker 1: thousand and one time frame. It is both comedy romantic comedy,
15:22
Speaker 1: and my favorite and your favorite, a time travel film.
15:25
Speaker 1: This is a Hugh Jackman time travel film directed by
15:29
Speaker 1: James man.
15:30
Speaker 2: Gold ohkrat Okay, Yeah, now that got.
15:32
Speaker 1: Your attention, because for those of you who are wondering,
15:35
Speaker 1: this is the same James who directed X Men Origins
15:39
Speaker 1: Wolverine Logan recently Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny,
15:44
Speaker 1: as well as Ford Versus Ferrari. And he's got like
15:48
Speaker 1: a stellar list of other things that he's directed, but
15:50
Speaker 1: this is like he directed this movie and worked on
15:53
Speaker 1: the screenplay. The movie also stars Meg Ryan, liv Schreiber,
15:58
Speaker 1: Bradley Whitford from The Westwig is in this movie. So
16:03
Speaker 1: I know this is for you, Joe. Anyway, as I said,
16:08
Speaker 1: this is, this movie's about time travel. It's a time
16:10
Speaker 1: travel film. Joe and I love time travel. We have
16:12
Speaker 1: our whole separate time travel draft that we've been doing
16:15
Speaker 1: for the last year, which you can check out on
16:17
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel. And yeah, I don't want to give
16:22
Speaker 1: too much away, but essentially, Hugh Jackman plays a duke
16:25
Speaker 1: from eighteen seventy six who finds himself in twenty first
16:29
Speaker 1: century New York where he meets a girl Meg Ryan's
16:33
Speaker 1: character and the way that he gets there. The time
16:38
Speaker 1: travel aspect of this film is gravitational time portal. The
16:44
Speaker 1: gravitational gravitational time portal. And I actually love the explanation
16:50
Speaker 1: of like the time travel science of this film. And
16:53
Speaker 1: so this is a must watch. Got to put it
16:55
Speaker 1: on your list. It's fun and like a little ridiculous
17:01
Speaker 1: of course, because like you know, we're talking about time travel.
17:03
Speaker 1: But that's why it's great.
17:05
Speaker 2: Katon leep, Right, let me go ahead and say this
17:08
Speaker 2: already doesn't even seem fair, because like we're probably gonna
17:11
Speaker 2: have to put this on the time travel list for
17:14
Speaker 2: season two of our time travel series. Yes, so, Cheeter,
17:21
Speaker 2: you already got me there, But I guess I'll play
17:23
Speaker 2: the game and ask three questions anyway, Uh, Nick, what
17:28
Speaker 2: would you say? Is? What would you say? Is the
17:32
Speaker 2: hook of this movie? Like what what hooked you in?
17:35
Speaker 1: How weird Hugh Jackman's character is because he's from eighteen
17:38
Speaker 1: seventy six, so like and like pretty quickly he's in
17:41
Speaker 1: twenty fourth century in New York, but he's dressed like
17:44
Speaker 1: he's from eighteen seventy six the whole time. So it
17:46
Speaker 1: looks like he's just doing like a Broadway play the
17:49
Speaker 1: whole movie, because he's completely out of place, and it's
17:53
Speaker 1: like fantastic. That's the hook, is just Hugh Jackman basically
17:57
Speaker 1: doing like a Broadway play like in twenty first century
18:01
Speaker 1: New York, like like at like the normal interactions. It's
18:05
Speaker 1: so it's it's ridiculous so is he all right?
18:09
Speaker 2: So the second question, so is it like, is it
18:11
Speaker 2: more drama? Is it more comedy? Because it sounds like
18:14
Speaker 2: it's silly too. You're suggesting a matim that exists, a
18:16
Speaker 2: law of compelling gentlemen to lay hold of K nine
18:19
Speaker 2: bomb movements.
18:19
Speaker 1: I'm suggesting you picked the poop up. Now he thinks
18:22
Speaker 1: you do. Yes, Oh, it's it's it's more comedy. It's
18:25
Speaker 1: more comedy. Yeah, there's some drama in there, which is
18:28
Speaker 1: why it's like, really, it's really cool, but it's it's
18:31
Speaker 1: it's more comedy, at least for me.
18:35
Speaker 2: What would you say is the weakest part about the film?
18:38
Speaker 1: The weakest part is really like the storyline as far
18:41
Speaker 1: as it being a time travel film and the sheer
18:45
Speaker 1: like ridiculousness of everything that happens essentially with how he
18:49
Speaker 1: gets there to the twenty first century, even though like
18:53
Speaker 1: it is explained very well from a time travel perspective.
18:56
Speaker 2: Overall, you're just like, this is.
18:58
Speaker 1: Like insane, like what's going come on? So I don't
19:01
Speaker 1: know if it's like necessarily weak, but it just makes
19:03
Speaker 1: the whole the whole film. You're kind of a little
19:04
Speaker 1: bit like thrown off because of how just how strange
19:10
Speaker 1: the whole concept is.
19:12
Speaker 2: Well, I'm in. I mean I'm in, of course I'm in.
19:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in, dude, I had you.
19:19
Speaker 2: You Jackman. It's time time trouves like Healey's heel. Yeah,
19:23
Speaker 2: we're gonna put it on our Time Trouble list anyway.
19:25
Speaker 2: But it sounds like, actually I should make time to
19:27
Speaker 2: watch this sooner than next year. Yah. Yeah, No, I'm
19:30
Speaker 2: actually I kind of want to watch it. Tonight it
19:33
Speaker 2: was on HBO.
19:33
Speaker 1: I think it's still on HBO.
19:35
Speaker 2: So that's a good call out. By the way, we
19:37
Speaker 2: should definitely make that a point of this podcast game shows. Yeah,
19:41
Speaker 2: where you can stream it?
19:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe we.
19:45
Speaker 2: Can get some some money from HBO when we start
19:47
Speaker 2: doing that. Just let that hang there for that Max
19:55
Speaker 2: executive who's listening to us.
19:57
Speaker 1: What's your question?
20:01
Speaker 2: Oh no, that was my third. But if you're giving
20:03
Speaker 2: me a four, oh no, no, that we're good. No, I'm in.
20:07
Speaker 2: I seriously, I'm in that You know how to speak
20:10
Speaker 2: to me, nick I, I absolutely do want to watch
20:13
Speaker 2: this movie. You actually told me about it. I think
20:15
Speaker 2: like a couple months ago you were watching and you
20:19
Speaker 2: were like, you texted me and you're like, you've got
20:20
Speaker 2: to watch this movie and like then and there, like
20:23
Speaker 2: it already sounded interesting, but I mean getting into it now,
20:27
Speaker 2: it sounds like it's actually kind of like a perfect
20:29
Speaker 2: film for me, a time travel movie that actually goes
20:32
Speaker 2: out of its way to explain time travel and then
20:35
Speaker 2: not take itself too seriously and it just be fun.
20:38
Speaker 2: It sounds fun, that's it. I'm yes, all right, Admittedly
20:43
Speaker 2: I am pitching something that's going to be a bit
20:45
Speaker 2: harder here. Yeah, typical, so difficult, you know what. Go
20:49
Speaker 2: for the big swings is what I'm all about, all right,
20:53
Speaker 2: go for the you might miss, but man, it's gonna
20:56
Speaker 2: be spectacular when you do. Okay, So, Nick, what I
21:01
Speaker 2: am pitching to you is once again another animated show Jesus, which, yeah,
21:06
Speaker 2: if you missed the first episode, Nick Nick has told
21:09
Speaker 2: us animation isn't necessarily his thing. It's not can be, it's.
21:15
Speaker 1: Hardly ever, hardly ever is my thing. And the first
21:18
Speaker 1: two Joe's pitching me animated stuff like this is crazy,
21:20
Speaker 1: this is this is my worst nightmare at a bar,
21:22
Speaker 1: somebody pitching me an animated TV show or a movie.
21:25
Speaker 1: And what is Joe doing that exact nightmare on this podcast?
21:31
Speaker 2: Can you can you give us? Can you give us
21:32
Speaker 2: like some exceptions to the rule, like some animations that
21:35
Speaker 2: you're like, all right, No, I mean like I would
21:38
Speaker 2: mess with.
21:38
Speaker 1: That dragon ball z you yo Zoid's you U hacka show.
21:43
Speaker 1: That's the list moving on.
21:45
Speaker 2: All right, So anime from the early two thousand. Yeah,
21:47
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a hard pitch, all right, Okay,
21:53
Speaker 2: So Nick, let me go ahead and first off start
21:56
Speaker 2: by saying, I have I am that friend that will
22:01
Speaker 2: take my friends and assault them with TV shows or
22:04
Speaker 2: movies that they have never heard of and don't want
22:06
Speaker 2: to see. And sometimes that does not work out, which
22:12
Speaker 2: that's fine, right, big swings. I have never missed with
22:16
Speaker 2: Over the Garden Wall. I have made people who don't
22:19
Speaker 2: care about animation whatsoever just sit down and watch it
22:24
Speaker 2: and they walk away loving it. It is I don't
22:29
Speaker 2: think I ever miss in saying Over the Garden Wall
22:31
Speaker 2: is a masterpiece. It came out in twenty thirteen. It's
22:34
Speaker 2: ten episodes. Each episode is ten minutes long, and it
22:39
Speaker 2: is astonishing the amount of character development and story that
22:44
Speaker 2: is worked into ten minutes in ten episodes. It is phenomenal.
22:50
Speaker 2: I'm getting goosebumps. Honestly thinking about it is it is
22:53
Speaker 2: such a great show. And the reason why I'm pitching
22:56
Speaker 2: it to you, Nick is because I watch it every
22:59
Speaker 2: year at around the time. It is the perfect fall
23:02
Speaker 2: Halloween thing to put on. It is equal parts funny
23:07
Speaker 2: and mysterious. What Over the Garden Wall Is It's about
23:11
Speaker 2: two brothers who get lost in the woods. They're two
23:15
Speaker 2: young brothers, ones like a young teenager, the other is
23:18
Speaker 2: like a younger child, and they're both a little goofy,
23:22
Speaker 2: and one seems to understand that they are in a
23:25
Speaker 2: very strange and dangerous place. The other is just pure
23:30
Speaker 2: comedy gold, and it's just a goofy little kid who
23:33
Speaker 2: just doesn't either understand or care that they are probably
23:38
Speaker 2: in peril. The best thing I could compare What Over
23:41
Speaker 2: the Garden Wall Is is a jersey like a fun
23:44
Speaker 2: version of Dante's Inferno. It is just two brothers just
23:48
Speaker 2: trying to go home, and every episode is just another
23:52
Speaker 2: like stage of the forest that they are trapped in,
23:57
Speaker 2: or I should say the unknown. The forest is referred
24:01
Speaker 2: to the unknown, and the deeper they go into the unknown,
24:05
Speaker 2: the more dangerous it becomes. However, it is always a
24:07
Speaker 2: good time. It is always fun. But I will tell
24:12
Speaker 2: you there are two moments in this show that always
24:15
Speaker 2: that always reduced me, like at least to like one tier,
24:18
Speaker 2: Like it gets one tier out of me, because man,
24:20
Speaker 2: this show knows how to punch you. It is very fun.
24:25
Speaker 2: Star study cast Elijah Wood is the main character. John
24:29
Speaker 2: Cleees plays multiple roles in this in this mini series.
24:32
Speaker 2: Christopher Lloyd is also a huge character in this mini series.
24:36
Speaker 2: I really cannot recommend a story more than I can
24:41
Speaker 2: recommend Over the Garden Wall. It is a masterclass in
24:44
Speaker 2: how to tella a short story very quickly.
24:48
Speaker 1: All Right, I can't believe them saying this. I might
24:50
Speaker 1: have to add it to my animated list that still
24:53
Speaker 1: has not really been We have a special Yeah, we do.
24:57
Speaker 1: And I might actually move this above Delicious and Dungeon,
24:59
Speaker 1: which is what you pitched me last time. But I
25:02
Speaker 1: think this, I'm going to move this up above it
25:03
Speaker 1: because you had me. I was I was getting ready
25:07
Speaker 1: to throw the book at you, but then you said
25:11
Speaker 1: ten episodes ten minutes each, and I was like, you
25:13
Speaker 1: know what.
25:14
Speaker 2: That is doable.
25:15
Speaker 1: That is doable. It's very digestible and it sounds fun. Yeah,
25:19
Speaker 1: Elijah Wood, Christopher Lloyd, John Cleese Like, that's pretty freaking
25:24
Speaker 1: fantastic cast for an animated show. Over the Garden Wall. Okay,
25:29
Speaker 1: it's on the list, Joe, it's on the list.
25:31
Speaker 2: We're not even asking three questions, Nick's just it.
25:33
Speaker 1: No, it's on the list. I'm going to ask you
25:35
Speaker 1: three questions, maybe three questions. One of those is what
25:42
Speaker 1: is like what was like the main hook for you
25:47
Speaker 1: when you first saw this, Like how quick did it
25:50
Speaker 1: take for you to be like, oh, I'm in? Is
25:52
Speaker 1: it like five minutes in? Is it episode three? What's
25:55
Speaker 1: my commitments? It gets a hook?
25:57
Speaker 2: So it's the first episode probably because, like I think,
26:01
Speaker 2: the first episode does an amazing job in telling you
26:04
Speaker 2: everything you need to know about what the next nine
26:06
Speaker 2: episodes are going to be. Like, Yeah, it's like I said,
26:10
Speaker 2: it sets the stage very quickly for a all the
26:13
Speaker 2: principal characters who are going to be involved, uh, and
26:16
Speaker 2: then it sets like that very like creepy mystique that's
26:21
Speaker 2: like hanging in the air and like you don't quite
26:24
Speaker 2: understand what's going on, but then also just being having
26:29
Speaker 2: a great sense of humor just just it's just yeah,
26:32
Speaker 2: it's it's it's fun to watch. It's just very fun, awesome.
26:35
Speaker 1: And then my other question is if they're if there's
26:38
Speaker 1: a reason that I would not continue watching this after
26:43
Speaker 1: the second episode, what would.
26:44
Speaker 2: It be oh interesting, hmm, if there was a reason
26:49
Speaker 2: not to watch it. Okay, So for you specifically, I
26:53
Speaker 2: think I don't know if I don't know if you
26:56
Speaker 2: would click with the character of Greg. Greg is the
26:59
Speaker 2: young brother, and Greg, like I said, Greg is just
27:03
Speaker 2: pure comedy because he either doesn't understand or doesn't care
27:06
Speaker 2: about the situation that they are in. And because of that,
27:09
Speaker 2: he's supposed to be the annoying little brother. Right. So
27:14
Speaker 2: you personally, I could see you like seeing this character
27:17
Speaker 2: in the first episode and being like, that's stupid, but
27:23
Speaker 2: Greg is worth it because Greg really is the goat.
27:26
Speaker 2: Like he is the goat. Like you get to the end,
27:28
Speaker 2: you're like, this kid rules. Okay. If I could compare him,
27:33
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen this, if I could
27:35
Speaker 2: compare him to a character you've definitely seen the meme
27:39
Speaker 2: the Bobba Duke, which is celebrating ten years congratulations on
27:42
Speaker 2: being a staple in the horror franchise. The child in
27:47
Speaker 2: the Bobba Duke in the first half of the movie
27:49
Speaker 2: is played off as the worst, most annoying child in
27:52
Speaker 2: all of This is actually too mean for Greg, This
27:54
Speaker 2: is way too mean. But the transformation is similar. Played
27:59
Speaker 2: Off is the worst child of all time. But then
28:01
Speaker 2: like you get past the halfway point of that movie
28:03
Speaker 2: and you're like, this is the best child of all time.
28:08
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say he starts at that bottom. I actually
28:11
Speaker 2: loved him very quickly, but as you progress through the series,
28:15
Speaker 2: you're like, this is the best character in this show.
28:17
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I mean it's intriguing. And then
28:20
Speaker 1: my third question is where can I watch this.
28:24
Speaker 2: Great question? I believe is on Netflix? If not, no,
28:28
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's actually on Hulu. It is on Hulu
28:30
Speaker 2: right now.
28:31
Speaker 1: All right, So Disney Plus there you go.
28:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually that's where I've been seeing it because yeah,
28:37
Speaker 2: Disney's you know, showing off all of its like Halloween stuff,
28:40
Speaker 2: and yeah, over the Garden Wall is on there.
28:42
Speaker 1: Nice All right.
28:43
Speaker 2: Nick. Let me just say, like, as a final note here,
28:46
Speaker 2: it's not just one of my favorite animations of all time,
28:48
Speaker 2: it might be one of my favorite stories of all time.
